Detroit Free Pre . A decision of importance to tho livory- mon of Pennsylvania has been handed down by Judge Orlady, of the superior court. It sustains as constitutional tho act of Assembly of 1887, known as tho livery act, which makes it a mlsdemean' or, punishable by a fine or imprison' nont, to wilfully damage tho property of a livery keeper. It was passed to cover cases of injury to horse or vehicle by reckless driving. Tho judges of five county courts bavo decided the act wo unconstitutional. As a result the law became a dead letter. Now that tho superior court sustains It, many cases 'are likely to bo added to tho business of the courts. Poople who drive hired teams rocklossly and injure them will have criminal suits entered nguinst them as of yore. At the Prohibition State Convention held in Harrisburg last week the fol lowing state ticket was nominated: Governor, Dr. Silas C. Swallow, of liar risburg; Lieutenant Governor, E. D. Nlckols, of Wilkosburre; Secretary of Internal Affulrs, Sterling W. Dixon, of Berwick; Congressman-at-Largo, George H. Garber of Pittsburg, and Pinnoek E. Sharpless, of Delaware; Superior Court Judge, Lewis D. Vail, of Philadelphia, The platform adopted acknowlodtres Almighty God as the rightful and supreme ruler of the uni verse, to whose laws all human enact ments should conform. The prohibitory ,planK reads: i ne legalized trumo In ""Intoxicating liquors for beverage pur poses Is a public nuisance, agreat source of political corruption, and produces .crime, pauperism and unjust taxation. It is antagonistic to the moral, intellect ual aud commercial interests of the State, and its permissive existence is contrary to the governmental polioy which seeks the greatest good for the greatest number. The license laws under which it exists In this State should bo repealed and replaced by legislation prohibiting the truffle, and we pledge ourselves, If vested with necessary power, to bring about tho prohibition of tho liquor trafflo through effective legislation and to see that the same is faithfully enforced." Which System of Sewers Shall We Adopt ? Editor Staii: Tho subject of sowers for our town Is an important one and no mistake should b:t made In the plan which shall bo adopted. There seems to be much diversity of opinion among tho owners of property that will bn as sessed with tho cost of construe! Ion, and I deem It liest to raise the question of what Is expected to bo attained and how tho result Is to ho secured. Two plans or systems of sewerage prevail In practice In our own and for- lgn countries. One Is known as the combined system and tho other us I ho separate or Independent one. Tho combined system provides for the dis posal of all filth from water closets, kitchens, and every other source from which matter of any sort may come, the iieeumulntion of which may bo olTeiisivo and detrimental to health, and also along with this 111th the water from tains, melting snows nnil springs which may come upon the area to lie covered by the sewers. This system requires largo pipes and rapid fall or descent. It, Is not looked upon favorably by sani tary engineers or persons conversant with the evils of improper sewerage. In times of dry weather there Is not water enough running through tho pipes to keep them cleani as it is a well known fact that n largo pipe Is much more difficult to keep clean than ono just large enough to perform tho duty required of It. Resides this difficulty there is always great danger of the sewers becoming filled with silt and ubbMi washed in from the streets. I saw a two foot sewer being taken up In the town of Clearfield last, fall com pletely filled w ith gravel, slicks, papers and all sorts of trash. Another of eighteen Inches In diameter was also taken up 111 Curwensville' last summer for the same cause. Again an extra How of water nt times of heavy rains nearly always causes the drains leading from houses to the main to become clogged with sewngo or else discharge tin ir contents back Into tho houses. The independent system provides for separate pipes for sewage, cellar drain age and surface water. The sewer pipes proper arc small, ranging from 5 to 8 inches, laid with cemented joints and carry only the foul accumulations from dwellings and closets. These can bo Hushed occasionally with u comparative. ly small amount of water and Holdom become clogged. An ordinary land drain tile Is laid alongside of the sewer pipe. This drain tile may connect with cellars and this keeps them dry with no danger of foul olr or gas getting Into them. Tho surfaeo water is taken caro of by surface drains or largo pipes laid near tho surfaeo where they enn bo readily taken up and cleared if they shall be come clogged. Rut with good drains from cellars and foundations but little trouble comes from rainfall. Such water is always clean and aids In carry, ing off filth accumulating on the sur face. In any event tho pipes which carry tho water from tho cellars must go deep enough for that purpose. All modern authorities and experience favor tho Independent system. If pipes to carry off tho surface water shall not bo laid it is much the cheapest as well as the best. If any one has any doubt of this I would refer them to such standard au thorities as Philbrlck and Waring, tho latter, no doubt, the best in tho world. A properly planned and constructed sewer is a good thing, but ono lniprop orly designed and built Is worse than none at all. Such is a voritable death trap. S. B. Elliott. People Who Pay the Printer.

A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was tho subject, Is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin wus almost yellow, eyes sunkon, tonguo coated, pain continually in back and sides, no apetlte growing weak er day by day. Throe physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friond advised trying 'Electrio Bitters;' and to my grout joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for throo weeks, and am now a well man. I know thoy saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 60 cent per bottle at H. A. Stake's Drug Store. Letter List.

Beet Sugar Industry in Allegheny Valley. Sugar beet seed has bomi furnished to (100 farmers In Jefferson. Clnrion, Indi ana, Armstrong and Westmoreland counties by W II. Stuiney, Esq., of this place, special agent. Common land will pay tho farmer $00 to 81) per acre In this branch of agriculture. Tho cli mate and soil In tho United States am adapted to growing beets with high per centum of sugar nnd purity co-elll- dent superior to Germany, Franco and tho great west. Tho boot lands of Ger many, which formerly yielded 12 to I I husliels per acre, now yield 27 to ,'MI bushels. Business prospers In localities where beet sugar Industries uro located and at all places where Iho beets are grown. It, Is tho purpose of tho company to erect a factory at a cost of not less than M00.000, providing the beets grown this year are siillliiently high In per cent nm of sncar and purity co-ellliient. It will require 8,(!(I0 acres In supply this industry which, at a low estimate, should yield 100,0(1(1 tons of beets. The farmers In Southern California last year got over 22 tons per acre and made a net profit, of from f(IO to iW per acre. The price is based upon the percen- turn of sucrose In the beets, tho mini mum price being $4-M per ton of 12 per cent, of sugar In tho beet, which Is tho usual pereentum in Germany, where the lands have been farmed in this in dustry for 1"0 years. In this country the pereentum of sugar is much higher and for every full per cent." found In tho beet over 12 per cent, tho company will pay 2") cents per ton additional. Ry rotating1 the beet crop, which is mature in five nionlhs from date of plant Ing. the same as Is t lie custom In wheat nnd other cereals, our farmers can gr.iw beets successfully with a heulthy effect on the laud and without commercial fertilizer lit uU.

Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption: she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefitted from first, dose.
