A LVii II ii y Of VOL 2. MILFOliD, PIKE COUNTY, PA., FJUDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1897. NO. 47. Pike C PRESIDENT'S OUTING. CouruI General Leo Will Roturn to Cuba. l'enftlon Mutter Seeretnry AlRer Inform Inp; Hlinnelf About Klondike Sturt- liia; the MnnnlttotorleA Here. President MeKinloy h.n not com plained because ho failed to gut any rest whilo away from Washington, on his recent vacation, but ho has nrrangod for another little trip which ho thinks will give him some rest. Ho i3 going to tho Dorkshiro hilla of Massachusetts, whore himself and Mrs Mo Kinloy will be guests at the residence of an oM friend. It is not probable that President MoKinloy has done a harder week's work since ho was inaugurated than ho hu jmt complete!, but ha lin got all the routine work up to dato again now, and as there are no important matters pressing, ho fools free to go away again ind try to got himself braced up a little for the arduous duties of the winter. II j was sur prised to find so many office soekors awaiting him when he returned, but he saw aa many of them as ho possi bly could and made a number of ap pointments, which of course, also made a much larger number of dis appointments. Ho is very much in- terosted in the greater Now York campaign, and willingly listened to those who had information to im part concorning it, but he says only enough to draw them out. Ho has expressod no opinion on tho subject. It was definitely sottlod at a con ference between tho President and Consul General Loo that tho latter should roturn to Cuba at the expira tion of his leave of ab-fonoj.or o.irli er if circumstances should make his presonco tluro noasswy. TaU in dicates that Gonoral Ino will con tinue as Consul General to Cu ba for sometime yet. His loave of absence 6xpires early in October. Pension Commissioner Evans, Ex Commissionor (Corporal) Tanner, a nd General Bitrd, accompanied tho Washington mombora of the Union Veteran Legion, who left this after noon on a special train for Columbus Ohio, whore tho 12th National En campment of the Logion will bo held this week. Undor tho policy of tho Pension Bureau, to givo tho papers of appli cants for original pension profor enoo.Commissionor Evans estimates that two hundred thousand applica tions, which have boon hung up un dor tho Djiii jcratio policy will be disposed of during the present fiscal year. Socrotary Algor is determined to find out as much as possible about the condition of things in the Klon dike region, in order to bo able to carry out his projoot of sending food into that region, if it bocomos nec essary to prevent sufforing among tho numerous Americans who have gone there, at his own expense but in tho name of tho Government of the United States. As a step in that direction, he has boon, confer ring with Mr. Joseph Laduo, of Dawson City, a gontloman latoly from the Klondike and who has mining interests there. Arrango monts have been completed for send ing a company of United States soldiora to St. Michael, Alaska, for the purpose of maintaining ordor and protecting property at that point. Tho free trade press regards it, or tries to make it nppoar to the public that it so regards the matter, that the compelling ot foroign manufac turers, who have established a market in this country for thoir wares, to start factories over hore or loso their Aniorioaa trade, is a misfortune, but it does not so ap pear to sensible people, whether they are Republicans or not. It is cloar enough that every establish ment employing labor started and maintained in the United States must necessarily add to tho pros perity of our people, and while in creased prosperity for the people may be a misfortune for the profes sional calamity yowlers among the Democratic and Populist politicians, it will certainly nut be so regarded by those who get additional work uud bex'ome sharers in the increased prosjierity. If every thing con sumed or used ia the United Slates could I made by our own citi-zens.it would be one of the very best things that could happen to the country. I It was largely because we bought so inui-u stulf of foreii n production, brought iu under the low rates of the Democratic tariff, thut we had such a long jieriod of business and industrial depression. These are facts that should bo constantly kept in iiiiuj by the people of tho United S t a t us. A Medical Student.

This book is for womon only Address The Po ru-na Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus, Ohio. An Excellent Sermon. The sormon pre.iohod by Rev. Thoa. Nichols in tin Presbytorlan cnuron last Baonatu morning was a most forceful presentation of the topio that to despoil a strong man's house you must first bind the strong man. Applying the thought to the liquor traffic, the pre ohor said that while he believed in prohtbtion yet he thought the policy advocated by the prohibitionist that because the strong man could not be wholly bound that thorofora ho should bo let entirely looso was not tho proper method of dealing with that evil. The thoory of tho prohibitionists is that it is wrong to lioonso the selling of liquor, bocauss thereby tho public-, or tho govornmont booomos a partner in the evil. Evory law whioh looks to the restraining of the sale of intoxicants is ono more fettor addod to tho giant, and it is far bettor to go on weaving tho oords which bind, thon to sovor them and lot tho strong man regain tho slight est atom of lost powor. As further Illustrating tho idea rtbovo presented we might cite the case of Swifts hero. Tho Lillipu tians bound Gulliver with threads, each ono of which was weak and separately addod but combined they held him fast. If laws can bo addod and supor-addod each one more oloso- ly binding the groat strong drink evil the effects which it now exerts will bo more ciroumsoribod, and its far reaching power gradually re strained and limited. Turn tho evil looso by removing tho legal restraints or as our friends the prohibitionists put it, lot tho government refuse to go into partnership with this ini quity, and the strong man will rise in all the might and powor of un bridled jiassions and appetite, and trample down the homes of tho land. Better far for humanity sake add thongs until the giant is bound hand and foot. Hit of Unclaimed letter.

Arinstroug.Howard Reed.Clar- ence Angle, and Robert Terwilliger on singles left the shop of Rutan in Milford precisely on the stroke of nine for a century run iu seven hours. -The route was to Strouds- burg and return to Cuudobackville and thon back to tho starting mat. The wind was strong from the West which somewhat retarded the raoers on their return np the valley, but they passed through Milford on their way back at a. 30. Only two, Howard Rood and George Ann- strong completed the distance. The tandem tires were punctured, Angle met with a mishap mid was slightly injured. Roods time was 8 hours and 30 minutes and Armstrong was a half hour IttUir. This timeiuclud el all stops fur rest and refresh, ment. A CORRESPONDENTS PIC-NIC Reflection! on the Meeting nnd Kind of lnhltlnm Available. We heartily endorse the Idea sug gested to have a meeting of Press correspondents. If we could have it now In a watermelon patch or peach orchard, or after a visit to a well inhabited chicken bowse, would not only suit the editor but also fill him with unutterable and unspeakable emotions, and perhaps other things too. There are no such adjuncts to a happy meeting right here. Our people aro too kind to in vite tho suffering which might en. sue from tho exposure of snch temp tations to a horde of correspondents Wo have another plan however which may mature after the rye crop is threshed, and that is to in vite them all to a supper of rye cakes. Tho grain will not be provid ed in any other form. We would Buggont quail on toast, but our pre sent law prohibits under heavy penalties the transportation of game iu large quantities out of tho State and some of our most valuod writers aro non residents, honoo that is not feasible. The wheat crop ia short and as humanitarians it would not be advisable to furthor jeopardize the worlds supply. Potatoes will be potatoes, and some must bo left for sood next year, for if there were none In this country and no hope of a supply there would le snch an exo dus of tho Democratic party aa to loave us no hopo of any fun in the noxt oloction, unless as now seoms possible we may have it in Pennsyl vania in our own happy family. Buckwheat cakes are out of tho question for several reasons, princi pally bocauso they induoo scratch ing, and most correspondents and editors especially now have that faculty developed to its utmost limit in ordor to make tho ends meet. Sausago is not yet ripo, and our turkoys wore so infatuatod in tholr infancy with the Kneipp cure of wading iajflie wet grass with thoir bare feet. that only one who had a habit of bathing in tho slop barrel survives, and hia growth haa boon sorlously retarded by rolling him on a plank in efforts of rosusoitation. Fish might answer, but tho trout soaaon is off with us, and no one hore is even offering to buy thorn for stocking purposes. Black bass and pike are too common, and then too a diet of that kind might un pleasantly suggost tnac some one neodod brain food. So we are re luctantly compelled to go back to rye cakes, but if tho groat consump tion of this grain in that shape in terferes with tho extensive manu facture of it into a potable form, the Rev. Dr. Swallow and his adherents may booomo so enthused with the Pbkss Idea aa to all beoome subscrib ers, and so greatly widon ita sphoro of usefulness. In duo season there fore we shall take pleasure in provid ing the substantiate, and expect our correspondents to furnish the feast of reason and flow of soul. The New Game Lew. Tho act of 1897 rolating to the time when game may be killed makes several ohanges from the Pike county special act of 1878. 8 ome of whioh are as follows : The season for door undor our act is from Oct. 1 to Doc 1, the new law is only in November. Squirrel, Sopt. 1 to Dec. 15, new aot Oct. 15 to Doo. 15. Rabbi ta Oct. 15 to Doo. 15, new act Nov. 1 to Doo. 15. Woodcock, July 4 to Doo. 15, now act Oct. 15 to Doo. 15 and in July.

No dogs shall be used in hunting door nnd dogs pursuing door may be killed Game shall not be trapped Or killed to sell, and only ton pheas ants, ton quail and 10 woodcock may be killed by one person in one (Tjiy, and no porson shall kill in one soason more than two deer. The repealing section is : All sec tions, provisions, act or parts of acts inconsistent with thla act or any section of it are hereby repealed. We are not intending to express by this any opinion as the effect of the now act on the Pike county game law. It will be observed that the close season is in several instances changed, and thore are new pro visions as to the killing of game for sale, or transporting it out of the state, and the amount which may bo killed by ono person. The 'W act ia very stringent. A lot of new straw and felt hats at V. df O. Mitt-hull's. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Kecorded In Hie OBlee of the Recorder Since Our La-it lFe. Greene.

"My boy came home from school ono day with his hand badly lacera ted and blooding, and suffering great pain," says Mr. E. J. Schall, with Meyer Bros.' Drug Co., St. Louis, Mo. "I dressed the wound, and applied Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely. All pain oeasod and in a remarkably short time it healed without leaving a scar.

The Wantage Reoorder of lat week, whilo it commends my report of the assessors' mooting aa " beincr no donbt the fullest and most cor- rect of any given in any newspaper in Sussox county," yet thinks my "comments are prediotod on the Idea that there haa boon a wonder. ful increase in values of property in Doekertown." If Editor Stioknoy hnd boon present at that mooting it would have been impossible for him to make the mistake that I based my commonta wholly, or evon in part, upon tho assumption that DockortoWn proporty had advanced wonderfully in valuo. The state monta ol different assessors that several properties in Doekertown, that they named, were assessed for but 40 to 60 of their real value.and that they could quoto both Decker town and Newton properties by the dozen that wore on precisely the same basis, coupled with the fnct that the assessor of eithor town made no systematic attempt to dis prove the assertion laid the basis for the views I advocated, that a re vision of assossment valuea was necessary as regarding those two towns. I think I did not state that there haa boon a wondorful inoreaae in tfio value of town property, yet I believe there haa been a considera ble appreciation thereof. While it may not have boen groat, still the point that I had in view, and don't wish lost sight of is, that tho real vnluos are nearly, if not quite dou ble the assessod values. If the statements of assessors themselves aro right, and I have every reason to bolieve that they are, then I am right, and my assumption that there is a discropenoy between the assessment of Doekertown and New ton, as oomparod to the other town- ships of the oounty is oorreot. We have the statement of a well in- formed citizen of Newton that thore is sufficient property on Spring stroot alone, and . between the two shoe factories to equal the total assessed value of the town of New ton. Also of an accurate, and reli- ablo assessor that ho can oite a dozen properties in Deckertown that are not assessed above 40 to 60 of their valuo. On these erounda thon I base my statement that while the farm lands and proporty in the aeri- cultural townships ia assessed at 100 to 125 on its actual value the bulk of property in the towna of Doeker town and Newton is assessed at from 40 to 75 of their value. It must be apparent to any who will calmly consider the matter that the formor are blindly paying the taxes of the latter. A fair adjustment of tho two is seoond in importance only to the proper assossment of the Zino mines in Hardyston township, j have no desire to be sensational, nor to deviate from the plain facts, and I shall be content if these two points are kept in view, that while the question of a wonderful increase of values in the properties of Decker town may be open to debate the question of a discrepency between the assessed and actual value of pro perty in the two towns mentioned is too apparent to call for controversy.
