Some famers have thresh-

cellent quality.
We had anticipated an album
dant yield of peaches; but since
they have begun to ripen, there
are pecuiariiieS about them that
battle the farmers and even naluf'

freestone peaches To be found; and
many of the trees that produced
early fruit are la,e, while the late
trees produce early fruit Of an in
feriOr kind.
The Colorado bug did a good
deal of damage to the potato crop,
early in the season, but there is
another in this neighborhOod that
is far more destructive to the po-
tato crop than the Colorado bug,
1t is an insect about one inch long,
eIiptical body about three quarters
Ofan inch long; thoraX, syllindri-
cal and head with conical feelers
projecting. 1t is produced from
the egg, after which is passes
through the larVa state, being
fully fiedged when it invades the
potato patch. 1t belongs to the
family cieOptera. We noticed a
few of these beautiful creatures in
The potato patch one evening, and
the next evening we saw hun
dreds OF them, and they had eat
EN- more than half Of the leaves off
Of the potato vines. We then adj
ministered to them a dose Of pow
ders, composed of one part Of Paris
green TO ten parts Of venician red,
which caused them to leave.

Cure by Prayer and Faith.

A story is told of Mrs. Geyser, a
young woman twenty-eight years
old, who lives at 1875 Rebecca
street, Allegheny, which proves
very satisfactory TO believers in
the miraculous. IT appears that
this lady has been confined to her
bed for seven months from dis
ease which was pronounced incu-
rable by physicians. She heard
of the wonderful workings of Ell
der S. p. Young, of Harmony,a and
last Saturday sent for him. He
came, and after asceriaining her
faith, prayed with and anointed
her with oil for about twenty
minutes, and after that time took
hold of her hand and babe her rise
and walk. To her surprise, she
found herself able to do so. That
same evening it is said she took
supper with the family, and has
been gaining strength ever since.
The story is undoubtedly true,aud
her physicians, Drs. MaDon, OF
Allegheny, ascribe it to the infiu-
ence or mental excitement.

Buckingham county, Virginia,
has a some what curious indus ~.
Within an area Of ten or fifteen
miles there are about 40 distiller-
les enga cd ia manufacturing oil
from sassalras-ro0f. Each mill
gives employment to three hands.
They use on an average 1000
pounds of root per day tor each
mill, and turn out one to one and
a half gallons Of oil, weighing ten
pounds 20 the gallon. SO that 40
distilleries consume daily $4,000
pounds OF sassafras.r0ot, make
ABOUT so gallons ofoil, worth about
$3.50 a gallon, and thus earn 1925
per day day.

Political Notes.

The Cleveland Herald does not
deny the right Of the Ohio brew
ers to throw down gage of war,
and urges the Republican party
to take it up and to battle for
sound principles.
The Detroit Post and Tribune
makes the reassuring announces

lose an election on the ground
that he shirks his drinks when
the champagne is brought on"
Colonel G. b. G. Cash, the duel

ers against his character as an
honorable Southern gentleman.
A j. Hostetter, late n Demo-
cratic member OF Congress from
the Second Illinois district, had
announced his candidacy for that
body as an independent There
Is, consequently, trouble ia the
camp.
A colored delegate in the con-
vention of Georgia Republicans
created considerable laughter by
arising and remarking that 1t APP
peared to him that the big fish in
politics were eating all the little
fish, and he wanted TO see who
was going to eat him.
1t certainly looks as if the Cam

The Charleston NeWs admits
that "for "a number of years the
white people of South Carolina
have nominated candidates for
Congress without reference to the
opinions of these candidates on
any other subject than that of
white supremacy in the South"
but thinks that the time has now
arrived when the representatives
of the state in Congress should
have other qualifications besides
the merit of voting always with
the party.
Governor Il. j. Davis, of
Texas, has announced that he Is
a candidate for representative in
Congress in the Tenth district in
that state, without regard to par
ty in any way" and that "when
elected" he purposes to be bound
by no party caucus.
Down in Mississippi, of all the
states in the Union, prohibition
has turned up as an ISSUE and
the Democratic organs are max

men who are so enthusiastic in the
cause of temperance" not to be
"led into the mistake of making
the question basis for a separate

Colonel VIM. b Thomas, once a

A CASE THAT T. UZzLED THE
WHOLE FACULTY Mrs. Milo In
gram gave the names of some of the
most reputable physicians in the
two cities tPittsburg and Alleghe-
N.Y., to whom she had paid large
sums of money for treatment, but
she rapidly grew worse. She was
then taken TO the most reputable
physicians and surgeons in New
York, but with no better success.
They had all pronounced it cancer,
and declared she must die. The
flesh of her breast was eaten away
down to the ribs; the breast bone
was laid bare and the disease made
its way upwards, causing the breast
to become detached from the wall of
the chest, hanging loose from above.

all other corporations doing business in this
state the same protection and the same rights

And further, that the Republican party ia

mote the administration of Justice.
Resolved, That 1t is the duty Of the next
Legislature to pass such laws as shall reduce
the expenses of the State and county govern

with the requirement of the public service.
Resolved, That the earnest attention of
Congress and the State Legislature is directed
to the subject Of codifying the laws relating
to the location and working Of mineral lands
to the end that legitimate prospecting and
the development Of our chief source of wealth

Resolved, That the appropriation by Re-

supreme hour of peril.
Resolved, That in the judgement of this

sTRoTHER FOR GOVERNOR.

OF course we are not called on to
give our Republican opponents any
advice in the matter of their choice
of candidate for Governor, but we
cannot help seeing that they have a
splendid opportunity of making a
magnificent stroke of good manage
ment by nominating Hon. E. Strother
of our city for the position. He is a
popular gentleman and has an I'M
tainted record both politically and
socially, and is a man of thorough
business. He could go into the can.
psign untramm eled by monopoly or
other murky records and with the
full confidence of his party might
make winning fight. Our Republi-
can friends should give Mr.. Stfother's
nomination their wisest eonsidera-
tons. -FOotlight, dug. l4h.

A CLEAN FIGHT.

1t begins to look as if the campaign
was about to drift into personal
controversy between editors. This
is a thing to be avoided, as the news
papers need all their ammunition for
the candidates. As long as a journ.
alist keeps out of public life and
attends to the business drumming his
newspaper there is no reason why any
other newspaper man should open
filth batteries upon him. Personal
peculiarities of writers are matters OF
no moment in a political campaign.
Nevada has been noted for the viru
lence ana venom of its political
struggles. There is no reason why
this campaign should not be conduct
ed upon the level Of gentlemsnly
discussion, and it is in the hands of
the press to keep it clean. No man
resorts to slop bucket in fight, who
thinks he can handle a sword. The
moment journalist resorts to filth
throwing he stands before the public
as an acknowledged novice in his
profession. Let US have good,
clean fight all around this year, and
the country will not lose anything
by it-CarSon Appeal.

COLD BLoODED.

If q candidate does not run around
among the saloons, get DRINK, tell
obscene stories, and slobber over cleo
ton business, he is called cold blood
ed. This seems to the average local
striker to be stigma which should
prevent 10y its own weight the unEap-
py bearer from reaching any office.
To the man who during the campaign
lives upon hope, whiskey, and what
he once was, the temperature or the
blood is the test for determining the
qualifications of candidates for Office.
Actually that class Of persons have
no idea of what it means, further
than that some of their number has
made use of the tern in speaking of
a candidate who has not been free
enough with the whiskey. In the
opinion of the quiet majority it is no
disqualification in candidate that
be is not hail fellow well met with
every loater that comes along. 1t is
further the opinion of the quiet mnj-
ority that the temperatur Of the blood
has nothing to do with the duties Of
ally Office in the gift of the people
1t is also the opinion of this same
quiet majority that a candidate is a
pretty good man when the worst
charge his opponents can bring
against him il that he is cold blooded.
