The funeral will ocour tomorrow at Bushkill at 2 p. m. v For State Treasurer Auditor General E. B.

There will be a meeting of the managers of the company for erect- ing a bridge over the river Delaware near Milford, tomorrow -at 4 p. m at the office of the secretary. It Is now learned that Senato '..Mor gan's statement that "we will beat Mr. Roosevelt for president if he is nominated," referred to Alabama. It is believed that conditions are such that, with hard lighting;, Alabamt, in the next presidential election, may go democratic Uncle Sam's annual dead-letter auction sale was such a success that the post-office department Is prepar ing for another one to lie held In Feb ruary. The sale netted the govern ment about 3,01)0, most of the bid ders being of the fair and gentle sex It is hojietl that those meitdw-ra anil senators who live iu country districts and went home for the holidays, be came stuck in the mud in some of our rural roads. They might then tie In duced to vote for a little less "pork" In the river and harbor bill, and de vote the resulting saving to the bet terment of public highways. It is the custom of the government to embellish its paper money and its iiostage stamps with the busts of dead war heroes or statesmen. Uncle Sam is now undecided whose likeness to put on the new Sd-cent stamp. Why not make an exception and take some living statesman or bureau officer? T here are plenty of them who are sitid to look like that. Mr. liij au is making himself some what ridiculous by goin to Mexico and teiliiig the people bat a mistake thev Vtii! make by adopting the gold htaiid.ird.

Progress and Prospority In spite of the great coal strike, the eountrv run ook back on Ultra as a year of unparalled progress and pros perity. Our Imiiieiwe crops are nil returnine Erood prices. Iron and steel production has been record hreaklnc. I'ltf-iron alone made an output of over lM,(Ml(),iiiu tons. During 18!4 the plg-lron output was only about one-third of this figure. The 1!02 railway earnings and bank clearings were the largest in history. Tlie government postal business and the insurance, telegraph, and telephone business have been the largest on record. For the last five years the country has enjoyed this Increasing prosperity, The upward trend from depression to activity dates from the election of William McKinley and the passage of the Dlngley tarifriaw. With every man who wants to work, supplied with a job at good wages, the buying capacity of the people has been enor inous, and demands for our varied products have Increased even faster in some instances than the supply could be furnished. Of course, there are a few pessi mists who can see no good in any of it. They view the situation with the usual alarm and would like to change everything Nevertheless, they are themselves better off in every ma terial way than they ever were before in their lives.. And the bulk of the people realize the splendid perform ance of republican administration. The Monroe Doctrine The Venezuelan trouble is still the topic of the hour among Washington statesmen. Many senators who are not alarmists, see in the attitude of Germany and England, and especial ly Germany, far more than appears on the surface. Should the great European powers, by their interfer ence with the importation of war ma terials by the government of Vene zuela, and the destruction of her source of revenue, the customs, enable revolutionists pledged to British and German Interests, to overthrow the existing government, the result would be practically the same as though these countries made actual occu pation ot territory. While maintain ing the letter of the Monroe doctrine, e should not permit ibi violation in spirit, to any extent IN THE BLESSED ISLES Oh, there are no trusts to bother lu those islands far away, Where the natives never scurry After dollars and ne'er worry Over bills such as the butchers And th grocers make us pay. There they loiter in the shade, Caring uot how money Is made, Never thinking of thn frightful oosc uf meat Never fretting o'er the price That la charged for coal anil Ice, I Plckinir aouare meals from the branches ' . ,. ,,,. . And then sitting down and resting while I the bugs crawl o'er their feet Oh, there are no trusts to squeeze them, ' Tbey are free from buying hats, And Ihcy pay no hard earned dollars Out or siilrta and cutTs nnd collars, They are not compelled to huddle Up iu six -by-seven flntst. Tailors never make them wear Ugly, baggy trousers there, thrive; And they slave not that the milliner may With no mergers and nu rings Adding to the gloom of things, They sit resting, curing nolhin for the wealth for w dch we strive, They but loll and hunt the woodtle.k a-'d are glad to be alive. Chicago Kccord-Ilcrald A Kansas paper wants to know what has become of Aguinaldo. We do not remember to have heard of the gentleman.

Shall we not hope and pray for some tangible results? Last Saturday evening occurred the marriage of Miss Lila B. Van Etteu and Xenophon P. Hud.ly at the bride's home. It was en inform al but decidedly pretty wedding. These two yonng people also dem onstrated that a "secret" might be kept for many of the guests never dreamed they were attending a wedding, as they gathered to see Miss Van Etten off to her school again. as they suppofed. But the surprise only added to the pleasant, occasion and all wish Mr. and Mrs. Huddy a bright, happy, prosperous long life, The pastor leaves for a day or so at Owego next' Monday. Ho ao companies Richard Nilta to his school and will take great delight in introducing this young man to his former instructors. The Owego school system has a very high standing not only as a finishing school but as a preparatory school for the large universities. Cornell, Yale, Harvard and Princeton have had many students who prepared there and who have graduated from tnese universvues wiiu me niguosi honors. We hope great things for and from Richard. The announcement comes with op- parent authority that when Justice Shirifs retires in February from the United States supreme court, he will he succeeded by Judge Taft who has so ably heudcl the Philippines com mission. It was the intention of Justice Shiras to offer his resignation to the president on January 1st, but he was persuaded to defer the act until the following month. The Philippines will lose in Judge Taft an able and excellent executive olilcer, while it may be said that the supreme court will receive in linn a distinct accession.

It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treatment- We will send you the penny, . a sa:tip!e free.

We wish with him that the year that started so aus piciously, may increase in interest during the entireyear The presence of Dr. Wright among us was a source of ,piich profjt. II tj occupies In our chnreh much the same position as the bishop does in the Episcopal church. Elder Wright has sixty-four churches under his caie. The problem of supplying all these with suitable and eflicient pas tors is no small one This problem is all the more complicated now thai the time limit ie removed. There are many who argue that the five year limit was , bettor than the present system with the limit off. The following Are Some of the argu ments. It is urged that the removal of the necessity of any change makes it all the ;more difficult to pluce the men and please the church- es where changes must be made For example, it .is easier .to ndjus' the appointments if there are fifty changes than if lOidy teu. If only ten then a mqn.. receiving , 1,000, mtgut Una it necessary to move when no churohif his jrrnde would ue open, ii inerej werenity change inai wouia noi ue imeiy io Happen Anything that complicates the mov ing of thd men anso complicates ;h work of the chfttches in 'securing pastors, If no Hllin is released who is willing to serVe a certain field, then arbitrary power is required to adjust matters, and that is not often pleasant. The elders, the ministers and the churches are more perplexed now tnnn with the five year limit. There seems to be a growing unrest in the church since the limit was removed, and many of our strong men believe that the next general conference will replace the limit My sympathies aro with the timo limit because I believe that the argu ments for the remov il of the limit namely, greater elasticity, has prov en to be nntrue. We had greater elasticity before. Reformed Church Notes. (By Key. A. J. M ror ofj Montague.)

Tona of I. pail Ore Fired at the Artful Uixlarer n He nini Hla War Southward. The snipe, properly Wilson's snipe, Uiillinago Delicatn, but commonly known as English snipe and wrongful ly called half a dozen other names, is a widely distributed species. It visits every state at some season; its north ward migration extends within the sretic circle, while it is known to go southward to northern South America snd the West Indies. Comparatively few of the birds which move north ward from February until May breed south of the international line. It Is quite true there are breeding grounds at various points, of the northern states, but the great breeding range extends from latitude 42 degrees north to some undetermined point much nearer the pole than most spnrtsinen will venture. Some time in September the first south-bound birds pass below the Canadian grounds, and soon most of the suitable nialshy bits of east and west have their shnre of long-billed prizes, then Degins an astonisning attack which extends from ocean to ocean and generally sweeps south ward from Canada to California. Probably tons of lead, half of which is wasted, are fired at the artful dodger. Compensation. Teacher Now, if you take three from ten, how many remain, Dolly? No answer.

I have used this remedy in my fam ily for the past seven years and have never known it to fail," says James Prondergast, merchant,' An nato Bay, Jamaica, West Indian Islands. The pnins in the chest Indicated nn approaching attack of pneumonia, which in thia instance was undoubtedly warded off by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
