A number of wild cat railroad con-
fdence men roped Blaine into sup
port of wild catrailroad, some years
ago, in the west, of course the thing
turned out badly, and some OF the
chief managers broke up with pock-
cts full of their confidence game
money. Among the victims was
Blaine. He was induced to work for
the road; got number of good
friends to take or buy bonds, and
when the concern went up they al
lost and blamed him for getting
them into it. He wrote often tC
Fisher about the bonds that haC
stuck him and his friends. Fishe
was one Of the wild cat concern; o
course he had to bust up with it

that he WAS doing a smart act whel

A Battle at Behel's Run.

On the Goth day Of September last, W.
Allen, of Horse Valley, Perry county and
G. W. Reader, of Lack township, met at
picnic that was held at Cross Keys, Lack
township, this county. The men did not
have the kindest feeling toward each other,
because, it was said, Allen had slapped
son of Readers brother. They looked at
each other, and talked to each other, till
Allen stated that he understood that Rea-
der had sent him 4 challenge to come there
and fight i out. 1t matters little whether
a challenge was or was not sent, for they
kept on with the dispute till it ended in
rough and tumble fight, in which Reader
came out second best. 1t appears that Al
len had called Reader a son-of-a-b-,
which, up in Lack, is considered to be al
most sufficient reason for a man to strip on
Sunday for fight. The name, son-of-a-
b., grated hard on the ears of young
man named Williamson, and he remarked,
"that's pretty hard TO take" Allen heard
the remark, and he asked. ''Do you want
to take it up2'' 81 don't know that l do
but if had my good clothes off, might
Set place and I'll meet you with my old
clothes on" answered Williamson. GAL
right" said Allen, ssmeet me at O'Clock
p. NJ, ON Monday, the 22d day Of Septem
Der, in your old clothes, at BehePs Run
and we'll have it out" At that place des
igna Jed and the time stated, the two mel
met About 40 men, neighbors, were pres
ent to witness the fight. The combatant'
went vigorously into the battle, but it hac
scarcely begun, till Williamson delivereC
a blow with his fist that knocked Aller
down. Williamson, as quick AZ a cat
dropped down on the body of Allen ant
bombarded his eyes and face with his fist,
nj such forcIble manner that Allen shout
en-, s'I'm licked licked lickedl take him
off," Williamson was taken off and tha
put an end TO the difficulty and the batti'
at BehePs Run, and the spectators wen
to their homes, pleased that none Of the
combAtants had been seriously hurt.

Granger's Picnic.

The day for the long looked for and first
Granger's picnic ever held in the county at
last arrived and everything passed of
pleasantly and TO the satisfaction of every
body that attended 1t. Although the morn
ing WAS somewhat inauspicious, As there
was fair indication of RAIN, yet at an early
hour conveyance. of every description
were coming in from every point OF the
compass, and by ten in the day the beauti-
full grove near Patterson, on Lauver', farm
was "fairly full and alive" The sons Ct
toll, the steady yeomanry, repre sc ntiDg the
most intelligent and progressive farming
communities in the county were there, and
a day of relaxation and general handshaking
was the beaming anticipation in every
countenance. At half past ten the Meal
istcrville baud struck up tune in front of
the speakers stand and after the crowd had
centered there W. B. McCahren announced
that D. B. Nc Willisms would deliver the
address OF welcome. He welcomed all, and
briefly compared the valley of the Juuiata
now with what it was when the red men
roamed through its forests. Then followed
an adjournment for dinner. Your cores
pondent can only say, in regard to this
that it was :'large and good" suffici ent to
| fill the simmer man, of every man, woman
and child" Dinner being over . few Sc
lections of vocal and instrumental music
brought together tbs uond ering mass, after
which Col Victor Piolette was introduced,
who spoke ably and elosuently for over one
hour. His thems was sequal taxation
with equal representation" and few men
can handle it more ably. Then DR.. Calder,
the state lecturer followed in very fluent
speech, addressing the audience more par
ticalarly on the practical part OF the order.
A great many interesting questions vero
asked, and answered by him. Editor Thos.
S ect of the State Grange, WAS next intro
duced. His remarks were congratulatory
of what Juniata was doing. In less than
one year eight oranges were organized and
the membership now numbers over 500.
After these delightful changes large por-
ton of the order repaired to the halls of
Lost Greek Lodge, in Niftiintown, where
business of private character was trans
acted. No day, all considered, could hay,
been spent more proitab'y and pleasantly.

The civil service of the democracy
is illustrated in Clevelands S State by
the enormous assessments on the
democratic office holders for money
to carry the Ohio and Indiana elec.
ton. A New York paper says: The
clerks in the departments at Albany
are said to have already contributed
four per cent. of their salaries to the
fund, and screams of anguish begin
to be heard along the canals under
the control of that sterling Democrat
James Shanahan. The Democratic
ofice-holders of New York will be
fortunate if they escape with a less
contribution than % per cent. OF
their salaries for this month to the
campaign fund that is to be sent to
Ohio.
These demands exceed by many
hundred per cent. the requests or
expectations of any Republican COM
mittee, or OF all Republican organi
zations combined. The Democratic
office holders in Ohio, West Virginia,
Indiana, New Jersey and Connect
cut are being taxed In like manner.

here to make America his home while
the importer comes only to make
money out of the import trade, and

that is across the sea and does not

The War on PoIYya NV.

Senator Hoar, speaking of the anti
Polvgomy bill said: II am wearing
plumes 10 which / am not exactly en-
titled. The bill is really Senator Ed
mund's measure, but as he is now
President of the Senate he cannot
well take as active part in the meas
ures before the Senate as he did last
year, and 1 have been requested to
take charge of it. The principal fea-
lures Of the bill are: First, that it
allows husbands and wives to testify
against each other in prosecutions fol
polygamy. This is in accordance
with the common law, which allows a
wife to testify against her husband in
cases of assaults or where the crime
is directly against her. The bill as
sumes by committing polygamy, the
husband commits a crime against his
wife; that she is the party aggrieved
and is therefore allowed to testify.
Then it provides that all records shall
be open to the inspection of any
United States officer or magistrate.
This is designed to nullify the effect
of the secret Mormon church records.
The section which provides for the
annulling of the female suffrage act
in the Territory of Utah, | am op-
posed to, and l shall move to strike
it out. The Edmunds law allows non
polygamous men to vote, and this
section proposes TO take the right of
suffrage from all women, whether
the wives of polygamous or mon
ogamous husbands. We are not
dealing with the question of female
suffrage in this act, hence |. am op-
posed to this section. Another clause
provides that prosecutions for polyg-
amy may be begun by other persons
than the husband or wife of the Of
fender. But the section that will
strike the hardest blow at the institu-
ton of Mormonism, is that which pro-
vides that a majority of the Trustees
of the corporation known as the
Mormon Church, shall be appointed
by the President, with the approval
of the Senate. This section, together
with that which amends the charter of
the perpetual Emigrating Fund"
will deal harder blow than anything
else to this institution of Mormonism.
1t Is this immigration fund which en-
ables the Mormon Church to send out
emissaries to the European coun-
tries to obtain converts from the ig-
norant men and untutored women,
and thereby add to its numbers. On
the whole, think the bill very good
one, and it ought to pass"

Presuming that many of the North

Not Content with Being the Best.

Whatever may be said in regard to
the propensity of the management of
great railway lines to provide for the
public only what is actually demand
ed in the way of accommodations and
comfort, can In no way apply to the
management of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific Railway, or as it is
more Familiarity known, "The Great
Rock Island Route" This line has
for years been recognized as the best
and most comfortable route between
Chicago and Kansas City and the
Southwest, and has been abundantly
able on this account to successfully
cope with its competitors. But not
satisfied with this success and its al
ready elegant equipment, its managers
have caused to be turned out of its
shops at Chicago, a magnificent line
of dining cars, which go into immedi-
ate service on the Kansas City Line.
These cars contain all the conven-
fences of well furnished dining rooms,
are elegant in design and finish, and
models of the advanced railway art of
the day. Within them, meals are
furnished equal to those of any first
class hotel in the land at the low rate
of seventy-fve cents. Travellers on
this line now find on it's trains all the
comforts and conveniences of first
class hotels. Besides the best of first
and second class coaches, there are
parlor chair cars, which are free to all
passengers holding through first-class
tickets, Pullman palace sleeping cars
and dining cars. This company's
lines, all Of which are equally well
equipped, also extend TO Council
Bluffs and the west, and Minneapolis
and St. Paul and the Northwest; and
the deserved praises bestowed upon it
by returned travellers who speak from
experience, make it noted throughout
the land. We bespeak for the own
ers and managers of this magnificent
railway, ample returns for their gen.
erous provisions for the wants of the
public, which is, as has already been
proven by the patronage extended to
this line, quick to appreciate and pat
ronize those those who prove by their
deeds and generous treatment that !
they are devoted to its comfort and

The New York court of appeals
has declared the tenement house cigar
law unconstitutional. The law is en-
titled ian act to improve the public
health by prohibiting the carrying on
of cigar manufacture in New York
city in the rooms used for living,
sleeping or doing any household work.
The court holds that the title does
not correctly describe the act, since
manufacture does not affect the pub
lie health, but the individual health
of the operatives. This is an extra
ordinary ground, considering that the
manufacture in question must affect
the health of all the members of the
families of the cigar makers. All
public health is at some point a mat
ter of individual health, and a prac-
tice injurious to the health of thou
sands of children whose interests are
not consulted by manufacturers and
employees would seem to be matter
of public health.
