Sketching the Members.

Since the members of the present
Legislature have been to Harrisburg, a
reporter of the Pittsburgh Dispatch
has obtained b.ief biographical sketch
o. each of them, That of Mr. Greer,
our Senator, and "Uncle jake" one of
our members, having been frequently
heretofore given to the public, we need
It reproduce them. But the follow
ing of Mr.. Donly will be read with in
terest as something new. The ques-
ton of his age was an unsolved pro-
blem, particularly among tie young
ladies of this place, who can now rely
with confidence upon the below as to
the same, coming as it does from their,
and our friend, himself:

The Bad and Worthless

are never initiated or counter feited
This is especially true of family
medicine, and it is positive proof that
the remedy initiated is of the hig hest
value. As soon as it had been tested
aud proved by the whole world that
Hop Bitters was the purest, best and
most valuable family medicine on
earth, many limitations sprung up and
began to steal the notices in which the
press and the people Of the country
had expressed the merits of III. B., and
in every way trying TO induce suffer
invalids to use their stuff instead, ex.
pecting to make money on the credit
names in which the word "Hop' or
"Hops" were used in a way to induce
people to believe that they were the
same as Hop Bitters. All such pre-
tended remedies or cures, no matter
what their sty lie of name is, and es-
pecially those with the word Hop" or
Hops" in their name, or in any way
connected with them or their name,
are limitations or counterfeits. Be-
ware of them. Touch none of them.
Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters,
with bunch or cluster of green Hops
on the white label. Trust nothing
else. Druggists and dealers are warn
ed against dealing in imitation or coun-

GAMBETTA, the great orator and
leader in French politics, is dead. He
was the inveterate foe of Germany
ever since the late war between France
and that country, through which
France lost some of her provinces.
History scarcely presents an instance
of the rapid rise of so young man,
to great eminence, as that obtained
by Gambetta in the present French
Republic. He was but A years of
age and has been the virtual dictator
in France for the past twelve years.
His eloquence is said to have been of
the most fiery character and his ability
so great as to give him the complete
mastery over the French people.

Riches i'm Hon Farming.

At the present prices, ten acres in
Hops will bring more money than
five hundred acres in any other farm
ing; and, if there is a consumer or
dealer who thinks the price of Hop
Bitters high, remember that Hops are
81 25 per h., and the quantity and
quality of Hop in Hop Bitters and the
price remains the same as formerly.
Don't buy or use worthless stuff or
limitations because the price is less.

Disciplined for Dancing.

PITTSBURGH, January Ga Monon-
gahela City special says: The Pigeon
Greek Presbyterian Church, which
stands upon the Wash hington pike, in
Nottingham township about ten miles
from this place, is one of the oldest-es-
tablished churches of that denomination
in Western Pennsylvania. The mem
bership numbers about 200, composed
principally of well-to do farmers and
their families. For years past the
shepherd of this flock has been sorely
grieved by the fact that despite the pri
vate protests of the elders and the pub
lie denunciations hurled from the pulpit
against the sin Of dancing the younger
members, and in fact many of the mar
ried ones, would meet at social parties
and indulge in quadrilles, with an oc-
casional round dance thrown in by way
of variety. Finally, at the suggestion
of some of the older heads of the
church, the pastor, Rev. John Marquis,
determined to put a stop to the infringe
ment of the rules, and on last Sunday,
Communion day, all those who had
danced during the past year were re-
quested to stay away from the Com
munion table and take back seats.
Seventy-two members arose and COM
piled with the order. Twelve have
since confessed their fault and been re-
ceived back in church The remaining
sixty have until March lst to see the
error of their ways, but should they
still remain uprepensent they will then
be read out with "book, bell and
candle" The pastors daughter is in
cluded in the number and was consid-
cred by all the best dancer. The affair
has caused considerable excitement in
the eighborhood.

fIAyD RECLAMATION.

No plan for increasing the rev.
enues Of the State has as much
merit as Senator Markers
scheme for retaining the arabic
desert lands. Those who Op-
pose it certainly do so without
clear understanding of the
circumstances. The plan pro-
posed will not only supply Ne
vada with an unfailing source
Of revenue, but will while SO
doing increase the opportunities
of the poor man for acquiring
small tracts Of land Oh which to
build a home and from the pro-
duets of which he can support
his family. Wherever there is
available water it and the land
on which the water can be used
will be brought into the service
of our citizens and many Sec
ton of the State will find their
taxable property and resources
vastly increased by the opera
tions of the bill if it becomes a
law.

WELLS, REVENUE BILL.

The bill introduced by Wells
providing for revenue for the
Government of the State really
embraces numerous needed bills
in one and is a measure which
will give the people of the State
substantial benefit. Many men
who go to the Legislature set
about forming small bills to eff
feet some special local interest of
no great importance, but Mr..
Wells has evidently devoted
time and patience to. forming a
Till which meets the require
nents of every county in the
State. The virtues in the bill
may be judged from the fact
that in spite of the varied inter-
ests represented in the Assem-
bly,, it passed that body by a
unanimous vote. Even the most
captiOus could find but few flaws
in its construction, and its author
is to be congratulated that he
was able to frame SO bulky a
document against which so little
Opposition should be aroused.
When the bill goes into effect it
will more uniformly distribute
the burdens of taxation in Ne
vada and not compel the mass
Of small taxpayers to shoulder
nearly all Of the task of sustain
ing the State Government. 1t
closes the many loop holes of
fraud and cilincanery which
have been open in various
counties and under its binding
and explicit provisions the tax
payers may be assured of a
much better disposition Of pub
lie moneys than has formerly
been the rule.

sN IMPORTANT MEASURE.

A resolution has passed both
Houses asking Congress to ap-
prOpropriate a sum Of money for
the purpose of removing OBJ
struction from the Colorado
river. Mr.. Howell, of Lincoln
county, who introduced the res
o!ution has taken great interest
in the subject as if the appropri-
alton is granted great benefits
will accrue to the State. How
ever, as Congress has up to this
time neglected this State
when such measures were under
consideration and as our present
Congressman has in a measure
placed himself on record against
the Colorado as navigable
stream, it is now proposed by
Mr. Howell that a commission
be appointed to lay the claim
properly before Congress and ex-
plain the situation. Should
this be done there is no question
about our receiving the appro-
priation asked for, and the State
and General Government will
receive the tenfold advantages
arising therefrom.
