Election Tuesday. November 3. 190H. An Epidemic of Political Ills. There is no abatement in Mr. Bryan's condition. His diarrhea of words hav ing resisted the efforts of Dr. Haskell and his Standard Oil cures. Dr. Kidder has been substituted who will try a wood pulp diet and other free trade remedies. Congressman Kipp has a very serious attack of Cirrhosis of the Conscience caused by an abnormal enlargement of the gall bladder which was superinduc ed by a.too strenuous use of the tear' ducts while emphasizing his tales of how he labored to get pensions for the wid ows and orphans. Bryan's campaign managers in the West and the New York World in the East have a bad attack of Locomotor Ataxia and all hands are wobbling bad ly. Dr. Hearst editor of the New York Spleen and an eminent authority on poisonouB literature has read several let ters in, the West which prove conclusive ly that tho germ, Taintcdmoneyitis is not dangerous if it does its work under the cover of darkness; in factit is rather exhilerating, but if the victim attempts to climb the gilded stairs of political ambition where lie may encounter the glare of publicity,he develops a rash that compels him to hasten into obscurity where he can be heard and not seen while meditating upon the rashness of his case. Two recent cases one in Ohio and one in Oklahoma resulted very seriously. A Snjn in Politics. Admitting every charge made by the Democratic party against the Repub lican administration since 1860 to be true ; reduce thesejeharges of misgovern ment, extravagance, fraud, robbery, etc., to figures showing just what they claim the country has lost in dollars and cents ; add this enormous sum to the actual value that the Democraticparty has been when in power and when not in power o this add the estimated, value of the 57 varieties of promises that Bry an uses to catch votes ; subtract the sum total obtained by this combination of results from the increased valuation of tls commercial worth and greatness of the United States since Republican statesmen have had control, and you will have a balance in our country's favor that would pay the National debt, build tho Panama canal, furnish enough bat tleships to satisfy Theodore Roosevelt, and the surplus would more than pay Jhe indebtedness of Wayne county, which the last Democratic board of Commis sioners left as a legacy of their ineffici ency and extravagance which is indi rectly the cause of the increased taxes we are now paying. The safe and sane plan is to re-elect the 'present board, who will wipe out the debt and give us lower taxes. The question whether the anthracite coal roads may transport their own coal to market, in competition with the coal of independent operators transported over their roads, is to be determined by the U. S. Supreme Court. An appeal by the government from tho recent de cision.of, tho Circuit Court of Appeals, in lavor of the coal roads, has been allowed, and counsel for both parties have agreed to petition the Supreme Court to advance the case, and give it precedence, owing to iu great importance. New Portieres, Rugs, Curtains and uarpeia at mennkr & uo.'B. r.'citt A visit to Menkrr ACo.'s Cloak and Suit department will convince buyers of the style and cloth qualities of their GLASS CUTTERS. Every one engaged in the cut glass industry should as a matter of self pre servation do all they enn for the election of C. C. Pratt, Republican candidate for Congressman. Both parties have pledged themselves to a Revision of the Tariff. The Repub lican party stands for protection to home industries and opposes any reduction in the tariff that will compel American manufacturers to bring the wages of their 'employees down to the level of foreign labor, while the Democratic party is using Tariff Revision as a mask for their Free Trade policies. Cut glass is one of the articles that the Democratic party believe should be free, giving as their reason that it will effect only a few small localities. Wayne coun is one of these localities. Mr. Kipp's election will mean, that we welcome this calamity, while a vote for C. C. Pratt will be notice to the next Congress to let the tariff on cut glass alone. i For Prothonotary WALLACE J. BARNES In selecting Wallace J. Barnes as its candidate for Prothonotary the late Re publican Convention acted wisely and well. Mr. Barnes is a self-made man, 'who, born in Wayne county, has grown up to be one of its most substantial and respected citizens, having established and for years successfully conducted a large lumber trade at Beach Lake, in Berlin township. Being thoroughly equipped for the position by a liberal education, which includes exceptionally uniform and legible penmanship, the election of Mr. Barnes will insure a cor rect and satisfactory discharge of the duties of the Prothonotary 'sollice, while his courteous manner and accommodat. ing disposition cannot fail to make him popular with all who may have business in his department. Having always been an active and influential Republican, he deserves and doubtless will receive the best efforts of his party for his election, while his personal popularity will at tract to him the votes of many friends of opposite political faith.

James Nicholson, wife and son, of Jer myn, visited at the home of Rev. W. E. Davis over Sunday. Married, at the M. E. parsonage, on Sept. 30th, by the Rev. W. E. Davis, Hugh Williams and Dolly Reynolds, both of Uniondale. Mrs. Erwin Thomas is visiting her son at Maple Grove. On Tuesday evening, Oct. 13th, Rev. M. S. Godshall will give his popular lec ture, "Crayon Sketches in Character and Characters'' in the M. E. church. This will be an unusual treat for the neonle of this section and it is to be hoped a large auaicnce win greet Dr. uoastiaii. Married, at the home of the bride's parents, Oct. 7th, Allio Bullock of South Clinton, and Wallace Cramer of Carbon dale, by Rev. W. E. Davis. Only the immediate friends and relatives were in vited. The bride was dressed in a very beautiful white gown and her traveling suit was of blue. After a short wedding trip to .Montreal the couple will reside at Carbondale. For State Senator, SAMUEL. W. HOFFORD, of Carbon. The new Rain Coats, at Mknkkh & Co, 'a are protective nud utylish, 22ei(( For District Attorney SrfgS5 IfSfSNs Mr. .Simons comes of the pioneer stock that developed the southern part of our county, his father, .lohu Simons, being among the early settlers. He was horn in Sterling, May 11, I Still. Din ing his youth he shared in the labors of the farm, and attended the winter terms of the dis trict schools. Later, he passed two years at the Itloomshurg Normal School, and graduated with honor from that institu tion. Aftcrspcnding some time in teach ing, as principal of the graded schools of Plymouth, Luxerne Co., and Nicholson, Wyoming Co., he in 1SS2 began the study of law in Montrose, and in 1SSI was ad mitted to the bar of that county. He soon afterward returned to Wayne, and in 1885 was appointed Commissioners' Clerk, which position he held for sixyears. Meantimehe was admitted to the Wayne county bar, and in 1891 began the regu lar practice of the profession in Hones dale. In this he has achieved a high de gree of success, and is known as a careful and trustworthy practitioner, familiar with legal principles, and ready in their application to the varied aspects of litiga tion ; showing accuracy and research both in the preparation of cases for the courts, and the conduct of the frequently more complicated affairs embraced in ollice business. In argument he is earnest, and logical, and makes a most favorable im pression on court and jury. With a pro fessional study and experience tif more than a quarter of a century, he may be depended on to perform the duties of District Attomev faithfully and success fully. South Canaan. Ootohek 8th. The Wayne County Fair for ltKIS is one of the things that is past. Financially it was a success, es pecially for the gang of light-lingered fellows who went through the pockets of the honest farmers who came in from the rural districts to attend the fair. They paid no respect to persons, rich or poor, but the meanest and most con temptible thing they did was to go through the pockets of an editor, and should the sharpers be caught they will get a dose of Wayne county medicine that will prevent them from committing any further depredations hereabouts for some time. Ill speaking of the fair we might say that the attendance was large, but the display of farm products was not n, to the standard. Everything in the Ftock line was inferior, and if the farmers of Wayne county can not produce better cattle, horses, hogs and sheep than were on exhibition they had better keep their stock at home. The display of machin ery by Murray A Co., was first class, and the linn is deserving of credit for ex hibiting such a fine lot of farming im plements. , It may not be the fault of the farmers in not producing a better grade of stock and farm produce, but. the mistake of the fair managers in not offering larger premiums, so as to induce fanners to take more interest in the raising of live stock and crops. The principal feature of the fair ap pears to be horse-racing, merry-go-rounds and side attractions that do nut appeal to the, majority of the farmers of Wayne county. The most notable attraction to be seen upon entering the fair ground was a large banner displayed over the entrance of the fruit department, which read, "Vote for Lee Brauiau for' Sheriff," Now, that appears to be the sentiment of the Republicansof this township, and also throughout the county, for the reas on that he is competent, well fitted for that ollice, and a man who pays one hundred cents on the dollar, while in all his dealings he has the reputation of being a fair, square business man and a man of excellent habits. The voters of . Wayne county will make no mistake when they go to the polls and vote for Lee (Iranian to be (lie next Sheriff of I Wayne county. A VoxKit.

All maps' will have to be altered If the plan of removing the famous ob servatory from Greenwich Is carried out. The removal seems unavoidable, as the indications of the delicate In struments can no longer be depended on because of disturbances caused by electric works'cstabllshed In the neigh borhood nnd by railway trains. Things Theatrical. Ada Dwyer has made a big success in Australia In "Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage Patch." Henrietta Crosman Is to make a tour of tho south In "Mistress Nell" and "As You Like It." Eleanor Robson Is to appear this sea son in a dramatization of Richard Harding Davis novel, "Vera, the Me dium." A new play, to be produced late this season, is "On the Eve" nnd is an adaptation from' the German by Mar tha Morton. Sir Charles Wyndham, one of the most prominent of English actor-managers, has contracted with Clyde Fitch, to write n play for him. State Lines. Colorado smelts more precious ores than any other state. Idaho Is an Indian name meaning "tho gem of tho mountains." Capital punishment has been abol ished in Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, Rhode Island and Kansas. In the twenty years from 1887 to 1007 the interest on tho state debt of Maine has been reduced from $240,00(1 to $30,000, which was paid last year. Juit Like a Man. Mrs. Newlfe I acknowledge that I have my faults and am sometimes cross, Jack, dear, but If I had the last two years of my life to Hvoovcr again I should marry you just tho same. Mr. Newlfe I doubt It Pittsburg Post. Seeds Like Pebbles.
