-In spite of the official denial
that King Alfonso's heir, the prince
of Asturias, Is in any way defec
tive, the fact seems to be positively
established that the child, though
4 years old, can not articulate. As
it is generally believed the dis
ability is such that the king's sec
ond son, Don Jaime, will succeed to
the throne, it is assumed the
trouble is mental.

The nomination papers of
Congressman C. C. Pratt have been
filed at HarriBburg and is official
intimation that he will seek a re-
nomiuatlon. It Is the rule with
both parties that a man is entitled
to a second nomination. It has not
always been carried out, and was
violated by tho Bradford county
delegates when C. C. Jadwln, of
Wnyno county, was entitled to a
ronomlnatlon. It is not likely that
Mr. Pratt will have any opposition,
unless ono of tho Bradford county
herd jumps tho fence and goes on
a rampage. Wayno county's con
gressional aspirations all seem to
be in cold storage. Wayno county
ought to send n man in 1912 to rep
resent tills district.

tried to trip him up as ho crossed
tho bridge. Had they succeeded,
witness was of the opinion that he
would have been trampled to death.
Ho also triumphantly emerged from
a severe cross-examination.
Jacob Demor, Jr., next took the
stand and gave practically tho same
testimony, but added that several
of tho mob wore armed with clubs
and that he and his father and
brothers were roughly Jostled and
could barely keep their feet. Ho
also swore that Charles Faatz had
tbld him ho would gladly knock his
head off.
Fred Demer gavo similar testi
mony, following which tho counsel
for tho plaintiff made a motion that
the defendants bo held for court,
as a prima facie case had been es
tablished. This motion was oppos
ed by the defense, they contending
that the Act of 1871 which provides
a snmninry conviction, supersedes
the Act of 1SG0 covering tho offen
ses alleged In this case. This con
tention was sustained by tho court
nnd a ruling mnde that the trial
should proceed, the defence to call
witnesses, if they so desired.
Tho prosecution then called to
the stand a man named Dunkleburg,
who conducts a meat market at the
upper end of Main street. This wit
ness testified to seeing the crowd
but stated that so far as noise was
concerned the gathering was not out
of tho ordinary.
.Innoli Denier. Sr.. then cave a
vlvld description of the marching
crowd and tho part he played in
tho demonstration and his being as
saulted near tho Hotel Wayne. At
this juncture the prosecution rested.
Olaf Highouse, one of the de
fendants, was then called to the
stand and entered a sweeping denial
of any particular in tho offences
charged. During the cross-examination
of this witness he admitted
that as a member of the union he
had taken an oath not to do anything
to injure another union man.
Roy Williams, the next witness
denied being in the mob, but said
lie had followed it up the street. He
said he had been pushed against
the elder Demer by the latter's son,
thus cnuslng him to fall. He ex
plained that he took hold of the
arm of another of the Demers, as
previously testified to, because he
had heard he (Demer) was a bad
mnn and because he wanted to call
his attention to a man standing by
who had a propensity for rifling
pockets of their contents. The wit
ness also testified that he saw no
shoving or pushing being done by
the crowd, and that no one had ut
tered a curse or a loud word.
John Reed admitted that he had
done picket duty, but denied that he
hud taken any part in the demon
stration. Only "walked around to
see what the bunch was going to
do." He gravely testified that
his principal business near the works
on the night in question was to
"bat stones into the river" and had
no idea who was in tho crowd or
how many there were.
Lawrence Bauer next testified that
although ho saw the crowd he heard
nothing unusual and observed noth
ing that had been referred to in the
Demer testimony.
Jacob Storr, the next witness,
when interrogated ns to his presence
In tho ranks of the crowd naively
stated that his sole object in being
there was to "escort" the fellows
homo, although he admitted that
such was not his usual custom.
Jacob Lelppo also testified that
he had not ordered the crowd to
"fall In and get tho " as pre
viously testified. He stated that
thero was no particular noise, no
cursing or threats on tho evening in
question.
Charles Fnatz also said that thero
was no disorder or rioting on the
evening of the 13th, and that the
noise then was no greater than
when tho Elks mado their recent
visitation. Ho denied having pull
ed oft his coat or making threats.
Ho said Henry Demer had threaten
ed to "lick" a man, and ho had pre
pared to provent It.
John Goodline donled striking
Frank Demer in tho back. Ho said
thero was no riot, no swearing, no
threats, no assaults, no shoving, no
nothing. On account of his defec'
tivo memory ho was not cross-ex-
nnilncd
Other witnesses who testified that
the march of tho strlkors was or
derly and noiseless were Frank
Carty, Horaco Williams, Thomas
Reese, a man named Brady and
John Carmlchaol, who reluctantly
admitted that ho was a memhor of
tho union.

ATT'Y GENERAL
CITES THE LAW
(Continued From Page 1.)
to the Constitution and the schedule
Is:
1. That general elections shall be
held only In oven numbered years;
2. After tho municipal election
which wnB held In Fobruary, 1910,
tho municipal elections will bo held
only in add numbered years;
3. That tho Judges of tho courts
of tho several Judicial districts arc
to bo elected only nt the municipal
elections. The reference In Amnd
ment Eight to special elections to
fill unexpired terms has no applica
tion to these judges, who are elect
ed for full terms of service, wheth
er their predecessors In office had
Berved full terms or not;
4. No election can ho held under
theso amendments, at which theso
judges can ho elected, until the
municipal election in November,
1911;
5. The terms of all judges of tho
courts of the several judicial dis
tricts, holding office at the date of
tho approval of tho amendments'
November 2, 1909 whose terms will
expire In 1911, will continue to
hold their offices until tho first
Monday of January, 1912.
Alonzo T. Searle held the office
of Jndgo for tho 22nd Judicial Dis
trict on November 2, luoy, the date:
when the amendments were adopted
by the peoplo at the general elec
tion held on thnt day, and I am of
opinion that, by virtue of the last
clause of the scheduler he will con
tinue to hold that office until the
first Monday of January, 1912, and
his successor will be elected at the
municipal election held in Novem
ber, 1911. This opinion will extend
to all other judges of judicial dis
tricts whose terms will expire In
1911.
I am also of opinion that the
schedule has the effect of continu
ing such judges in office without any
other or further commission, but,
inasmuch as tho absence of a com
mission might be made the basis of
objection to the right of such judges
to exercise the judicial function dur
ing the extended year. I am furth
er of opinion that a commission
should be issued to them, to expire
on the first Monday of January,
1912, and that the records of your
office should be examined, the
names of such judges ascertained
and commissions issued to them ac
cordingly.
In answer to your second inquiry
1 am of opinion that no judge can
be elected at the general election
held in November, 1910, and that
this applies as well to judges who
hold their office by election as to
those appointed by the Governor.
Very truly yours,
M. HAMPTON TODD.
Attorney General.

Terrible Croup
My little boy, who is four years old,
hna suffered a lot with croup. On
several occasions we thought he was
gone.
After trying nil the old time rem
edies and most of tho new, I came
home one night at midnight, and my
wife saiu, "Tho boy has tho croup
again- suppose you get a bottle of
Hyoniel." "More junk," I said, "but
we will circulate our money so they
all will get some."
I hastened to an all night drug
store, brought it home
In five min
utes he was breathing easier. In
fifteen minutes he was sound asleep.
It broke the croup so quickly It
scared me.
Anyone wishing to cure the croup
of a child, I hope will give Hyomel a
trial.
Wishing you tho best of success,
which you surely deserve, I remain,
Jos. E. Clark, 204 6th St. S. E., Wash
ington, D. C Oct. 7, 1909.
Hyomel Is a remarkably effective
remedy in case of croup and it should
be in every home where there is a
croupy child. Full Instructions how
to cure croup comes with each out
fit. Complete Hyomel outfit Including
inhaler costs $1.00 at druggists
