Svening Herald
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 187.
Air sxehange says : "Many peopla express
surprise to 1-nrn that the New York World
win originally projscoad as a religions rlailv
nawspaper. The Worhl In not tlie flrt 'mint
that fell from grace. ' It is uoW a fit enmpan
- tan for the Police Gazette." And there ore
others, not ho far way.
TiJtADUA. now has tliree newspapers one
trtoveekly and two weeklies. The latest
adtMtton la the Weekly Herald, which gives
promise of a successful career. If the
Herald aan act The part of a pesos-maker
between its two contemporaries it will hare
"filled a long felt want," and receive the
phnllts of itsrssden.
Tub death of President ltoberts recalls the
faft that In 1862 he was Chief Engineer of
the Ilroatl Mountain Itailroad, now the Maha
noy & Sbimokiu branch of thei Heading, ex
ta ml frit: from Broad Mountain via Frackvills
to Shenamloah, Locust Dole and Mahanoy
Oty, "Including the Mahanoy plane which he
planned and which for 3S years has I teen the
main artery for transportation Of coal from
this region to tide wnter. It is also interest
ing to note thai, at the time of his death the
Heading managers arc considering the ad
visability of doing away with the planes.
Mr. IC. F. Hkavkr, who to-day assumes
the position of Assistant Cleneral Passenger
Agent of the I. A KMtailway, is one of the
best known of the younger men in that co n
pany'B service, anil his promotion gives
general snttstaetkHi . Mr. Reaver began at
t'ie bottom of the ladder in the company's
service in 1870 and by diligence in the dis
charge of his duties, coupled with an affability
of manner that made friends of all who had
business to transact with him, he rose steed ily
in the estimation of his superiors and received
frequent promotions, in all of which he
justified the confidence imposed in him. We
have no doubt he will fulfill the duties of his
enlarged sphere with the same aMlity he has
heretofore shown.
TlIBannunl report of County Controller H
It Severn wa' presented to court on Satur
day. Heretofore the Auditors have prepared
the annual statement of tbecounty's receipts
and expenditures. Mr. Severn's report is a
comprehensive one, covering sixtseu paces of
type-written matter, aliout three feet in
length and over a foot in width. Tho Con
troller offers several important lscomruenda
tions, tho most important of which is that
suggesting the assembling of grand juries
prior to tho holding of tho regular sessions of
criminal court. The Controller is of tho
opinion that it would bo a saving to the
county, and a groat service to the public
and would expedite business to havo the
grand Jury assemble previous to tho rcgulnr
sessions of the court. The Controller says:
"Regular trial lists could be prepared, matters
kept well in hand and everything regulated
cad systematized ; and we are satisfied that
the change would avoid the possibility of
overpaying witness fees and other costs con
nected with the machinery of the courts.
Certain days could he set in advance for cer
tain cases to be brought beforo the grand
jury; parties interested could bo notified tv
appear on those days, and the presence of
witnesses in cases on days except when
necessary lie avoided. The grand jury,
hsviug passed upon all bills to be brought
before it, the District Attorney is enabled to
list a certain number of cases for each day of
the sessions, and notify all parties interested
to be prepared for trial on days set, thereby
avoiding payment of witnesses for four days
or more whou their presence is actually re
quired hut one day." "
A WINNER.
The prediatlon of the Herald, the day
following' the primary eleetions, that the
Citizens ticket was a winner is made more
apparent the nearer we approach the day of
election. The popularity of the individual
candidates has caused consternation within
the ranks of the opposition they see the
handwriting on the wall, and know not
which way to turn for shelter from the forth
coming political doluge.
The honest voters of the Democratic party
will rnt the insult the self-constituted
"bosses" have flung in their races by refusing
them a choice as to the personnel of the
ticket. As a result of "boss" manipulations
with headquarters in the First and Fifth
wards the most unpopular and incompetent
of the many candidates of that party seeking
political preferment have been placed upon
the ticket.
The primary eleetions of the Citizens party
present a result in direct contrast to that of
our frieads the enemy. The Crawford county
system of voting affords no such opportunity
fr manipulations by scheming politicians ;
the roters oast their ballot direct for the
candidate, and the one receiving the ma
jority of votes must of necessity be the
popular choice. This is why the Citizens
aomioatisns both borough and wards have
bean received with such popular approval.
Their popularity is not alone confined to the
borders of our town, as the', following cont
inent from tlie columns of the Pottaville He
publican clearly shows: "The Oitiseus
ticket of Shenandoah is constructed of such
good material that there Is a feeling of
security amongst the masses of people of the
town that it will go through to victory with
a whoop and a hurrah. Jf any town in this
gitat county stands iu nesd of n. good, strong
borough government, that one it Shenandoah.
Its greatest need, if the records of our
Criminal Court are any criterion, is a bold
firless Hurgess, basked up by a luw-iespect-iug
Council and a strong police force and
constabulary composed of American citlaons
This is a matter that lias a bearing upon the
taxpayer of the whole county, who are
interested in seeing our nmrt expenses re
duced It cm l.o doi l,y maintaining law
and ordei la the aiiou boioughs and town
ships of the county."

At this moment thousands of men are.
standing at the crossroads of life. Death
in the guise of a foolish ambition coaxes
them to take one road, while health and
happiness in the form of wife and babies
coax them to take the other. I'or the sake
of a few added dollars will they continue to
over-work and neglect the commonest pre
cautions for tbe preservation of health, or
will they listen to love and reason dud draw
back before.lt is too late ? A man may do
almost anyatnountof good, hard work if he
Will take care nf his health and when he
feels ont of sorts will take the right remedy.
The great blood-maker, flesh-builder and
nerve tonic is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It is the hard - workers' medi
cine. It corrects all disorders of the diges
tion, invigorates the liver, purifies the blood
and tones and steadies the nerves. It makes
the appetite hearty and brings refreshing
sleep. Thousands- of hard - workers owe
their lives to it and have said so over their
signatures. Druggists all sell it and all
substitutes are frauds.
" I was taken with erysipelas tn my hsnds and
went to the doctor," writes Mrs. Lena Baurugnrt
ner. of Joy, Charlevoix Co., Mich. " He said lie
could not cure me. He gave rue medicine to ease
me but the disease spread all over my body. I
took two bottles of the ' Golden Medical Discov
ery and two of the ' Favorite Prescription and
am entirely cured. I have a boy three weeks old
I was helpless two or three months before con
finement, but after taking the ' Favorite Prescrip
tion ' I was able to do my washing three days
before I was confined."
There is scarcely a known form of ill
health that constipation will not muse or
aggravate. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
nn unfailing cure for constipation. Onajdit
tie "PeBet" is-a gentle laxative.

Ono thing Is cor lain : It will not (le to
fool with a bad cold. No one can jell what
the end will bo. Pneumonia, catarrh, chronic
bronchitis, if not consumption, invariably
result from a neglected cold. It is surprising
too, that bad colds arc so often neglectod
when one remembers how easily nnd at what
little oxpenso they may be cured. Cham
lierlaiu's Cough liemedy is always prompt
nd effectual, and costs but a trifle; 23 or GO
cents is a trifle as compared with tho disas
trous effects of a neglected cold. Mr. Abnor
Mercer, of Dilworthtown, Chester County,
Pa., in speaking of this remedy, said : "Sotno
time ago I had a bad cold and cough. I
tried almost everything. Finally Mr. Hunt,
the druggist, recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and one SO cent hottlo of it
cured uib entirely." For sale by Gruhlor

Tours to California.
California has been most fittingly termed
the "Itily of America." AU the delicious
halm, the cloudless -ky, and the rich ver
duro of the great European peninsula nre
duplicated in this sunny land of the Pacific.
Here nature basks iu tbe suushlneof her own
beauty; and here she has established her
owl sanitarium, where eternal spring in
spires overlasting youth. With the snow-
mautlcd peaks of tho Sierras upon tho one
hand, the calm Paelflc with its soft breezes
upon tho other, and a veritable paradise of
flowers'; fruits and plants between, nmn -can
find and n ceils no lovelier land. To visit
such a country is a privilege, a blessing.

Tours to Florida.
No district in America presents, during the
Winter season, so many varied attractions as
the State of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which to one escaping from tho cold
and unhealthful changes of the North seems
almost ethereal, it is pre-eminently a land of
sport gnd pleasure, Aong IU eleven hundred
miles of salt-water coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migra
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpon, pompano, and others of a more
tropical oliaracter. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find a greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds satiety. Deer, turkeys, bears, panthers,
and wild oats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the Stato. The more novel sport of al
ligator and manatee hunting may also be in
dulged iu by the more adventurous tourist
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers aud lakes, its boating and
bathing, its Ashing and hunting, and its
extensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled
attractions for the valetudinarian, the lover
of uature, the sportsman and the explorer.
To this attractive state the Pennsylvania
Itailroad Company has arranged four personally-conducted
tours during the seasou nf
1897, leaving by special train January 26,
February 0 and 28, aud March 8. The first
three tours will admit of a sojourn nf two
weeks in this delightful laud; tickets tor the
fourth tour will be valid to return until Uny
31 by regular traius.
Rates for the roond trip. $50.00 from New
York, $48.00 from Philadelphia, aud propor
tionate rates from other points.

tion, apply to ticket agente, special booking
