Tiikru is yet time for those who
have failed to exeruiso the right of
franchise to do so. It is a duty you
owe yourself.
The Hkralii reaches the homes of
the people in this town and the Mnlia-
noy Valley. Hence it is never found
necessary to send out hundreds of
marked copies in order to reach the
readers. This paper goes Into the
homes dally, and is read.
It la iv noticeahle fact that In half a
dozen Pennsylvania towns women are
candidates for tlie olllce of School
Director, and are making a vigorous
campaign for election. Why uot try
it here ?
A boaud of County Commissioners
that save $80,000 a year for the tax
payers appears to be a handy thing to
have around. And that is tlie com
mendable record of the present lie
publican board, according to pub
lisbed statements.
The Democratic party has been a
shining failure as the agent of the
people in conducting the business of
the state and nation. It has not been
any less remarkable for its failure in
boroutrh government. Sheuandoah
has given it more than sufllcient trial.
TlIK Philadelphia Press intimates
that Hon. Henry Huhn Is the man
who ought to bear the blame for tlie
remarkable decisions recently made
by Speaker Parr. Tlie inference is
that Mr. Parr is merely the medium
through which Mr. Huhn decides in
the Interest of tils friends.
As the snow is fast disappearing
there Is some hope that the Schuylkill
Traction Company's cars will ere long
get Into the town. It is to be re
gretted that the officials of this
company show so little appre
ciation of the valuable franchise
granted them practically for
nothing and that a disposition to
conciliate will be manifested before
the feeling of opposition in the town
reaches an acute stage.
Personal Registration,
An importaut bill bearing on the
conduct of elections in Pennsylvania
was introduced in tlie House of Rep
resentatives by Mr. Fow, of Phila
delphia. The title of the act is "To establish
a Board of Registration in every
ward, election district, division or
precinct in all cities, boroughs and
townships within the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania ; to regulate the
nomination and election and defining
the duties of such boards ; also defin
ing the duties of electors for the pur
pose of being registered ; also requir
ing certificates of registration to be
produced by voters and punisliing
violations thereof."
Tlie bill provides that in every elec
tion division in tlie state a registry
board of two citizens shall be elected,
the same as assessors are now elected,
who shall sit twice a year on three
secular days in May and December at
the regular polling places and regis
ter all electors who appear and claim
the right to vote, exereUing under
oath the right to examine the appli
cant. One copy of the registration shall
be filed with the County Commission
ers, from which to prepare check lists
and all other eleotion papers. The
board shall also keep eaoh a copy to
be used by them on election day. In
that respect the act also creates them
members of the Eleotion Hoard, as
the Constitution allows every citizen
the right to vote who appears at tlio
poll and claims that right. Tlie act
meets that eontingenay by requiring
the Registration Board tosit with the
eleotion officers all through election
day to qualify voters, instead of the
eleotion officers, as now required by
law. Therefore, it Is plain to be seen
that no one will he deprived of his
right of franchise.
lio tax receipt can be purehased un
less a registration certificate, as Issued
by the board, is produced, and it is
not to be used by any one ele except
when acoouipanied by a power ot at
torney. This act will make a radical
change in the election laws, and it is
thought will go farther to purify the
ballot than anything yet pr ii.sed

A" PLUCKY POSTMASTER.

Mortally Wounding Ono.
Easton, Pa.. Feb. 21. When Millard
Ilnliser was made postmaster at Water
Gaii about a year ago he threatened to
make It warm for the first burglar who
entered bin office, and yesterday morning
he made good his vow. He shot and fa
tally wounded one of a gung of three
burpl.irs who had entered the postotlice
and tried to blow open the snfe. Abo.it
1:40 a. in. Hauser, who lives next dour
to the pnstofllce, heard an explosion. lie
jumped out of bed, grabbed Ills gun and
opened a wiudow. On the pavement In
front of the olllce stood a man. 1 ho fel
low started to run. The postmaster
called to him to halt, but the burglar
continued to run, and Honser tired. The
burglar fell to the pavement, mortally
wounded. Ills pals ran to his assistance
and opened fire on the plucky postmnster.
Six shots were exchanged, and it is be
lleved that another of the burglars was
hit. When the battle became too warm
for them the thieves picked up their in
jured companion and carried him about
150 feet. Then, nt the wounded man's
request, they dropped him in n snow
bank and fled. The wounded burglar
was carried to a physician's office and
there told that he could not recover. He
refused to give his name or address or
the names of his companions. He was
taken to the Scranton hospital. The
thieves did not secure any booty.

nor complexion. It it the vandal hand of disease which robs tier of her beauty,
yellows and muddles her complexion, lines Her tace,
pales cheek and lip, dulls the brilliancy of her eye,
which it disfigures with dark circles, aging her before
her time.
Good health means youthful good looks to every
womani ana it Denooves women to restore
and maintain their health by taking that
greatest and best of all health restoratives, Dr.
(ireenc Nervura blood and nerve remedy.

young and restore your
energies, vivacity and en
joyment or lite.
i Especially should you

tnvigorant now, lor every

and this is the ideal spring

Mrs. S. R. Bcrrv of Leban
on, N. It., tay :
"t could not sit UD oil diiv. but had
to li down a Rrctt deal, and my nerves
wcrs vtrv weak and of no use, And I
had such dull, heavy feelings as If I
vrat nhout to meet some awful doom.
All the time I was depressed In mind
and spirits. There wjsa pain In my
head and my liver and kidneys were
verv bad. 1 was almost a comolete
wreck ot mv former self. 1 besan to

BACK FROM TUB' KLONDIKE.
Disastrous Sad of I.loutoimnt Cnst
ner's 3!rpJorlii(r Kxpedltlon. .
Seattle, Wesh., Feb. 20. Advices
from Dawson say that Lieutenant
Castner. of the Fourth United States
Infantry, who started almost a year
ago from the southern coast of Alaska
to explore the interior and And, If pos
sible, an all American trail to the
Yukon, has arrived there. Finding the
trail they had believed to exist Impas
sable, Lieutenant Castner and two
companions started to reach civiliza
tion. They put their provisions, guns,
etc., on a raft and set It afloat on the
Tanana river. The raft was wrecked
the second day and all the provisions,
rifles, axes, etc., lost. All that Was
saved was a coil of rope. With the
rope another raft was built, and for Bix
days the three men floated down the
river, living on berries and rose ap
ples. They were without shoes or
moccasins, their feet being covered by
canvas, tied with string. Jut as hope
was almost gone the party drifted into
an encampment of Tanana Indians.
Here they were hospitably treated and
conducted to the camp of white men a
hundred miles up the stream, where
the party rested until a boat could
carry them to the Yukon.
Lieutenant Castner found alt maps to
be Incorrect. His aneroid barometer
failed to work, and in consequence he
was unable to measure the height of
the mountains or the passes. The lieu
tenant says, howeve.r, that there Is a
feasible route for a trail or railway
from the coast to a point on the Yukon
river below Circle City, but lack of
provisions prevented him from taking
the time to map it out.

2,000 men, women and children took
part occurred yesterday at the Star
theater, Sedgwick and Division streets,
and before the police arrived the In
terior of the theater had been badly
damaged. Scenery which was to have
been used in the presentation of a
play had been tied up by legal pro
ceedings, and after the audience had
waited until 4:30 p. in. for the curtain
to go up many began to clamor for the
return of their money. They were re
fused at the box office, and two min
utes afterwards chairs were broken in
pieces and hurled at the stage, chan
deliers were broken, carpets were torn
up and the theater and sidewalk was
one mass of fighting, yelling humanity.
The clanging of the patrol wagon bells
scattered the crowd In a Imrry, how
ever. Later In the afternoon the money
was refunded to those who presented
their coupons.

What Shall We Do.
A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep
tive. It comet on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may he
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back,
rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with a burning sensation, the
How of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the alxlomen low down between the
navel and the water passage, increasing de
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
passing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometime necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stm'o U llrigbt's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that Dr,
Kilmer, the groat kidney and bladder
pecialis', lias discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvelous curat of the most distressing
cases and known as Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root.
It is sold by all druggists.
As a proof of the wonderful virtues of this
great discovery, Swamp-Root, a sample bottle
and book of valuable information will he sent
absolutely free by mall on application to Dr.

Is a great thing to be first. Nothing is of
