Let Some One Answer.

The teachers Of Carbon county last Fri
das again showed their preference as to the
place where the annual convention should
be held. The majority for Lehighton wa:
greater than at any former vote. This
authorized Nauch Chunk ADVOCATES did
their best during the week to throw distavol
on our little town, but without effect, LIE.
highton was doomed at the eleventh hour
and the result was beyond the expectation
of everybody. Among the most reasonable
objections TO Lehighton presented by the
supporters of Maueh Chunk were the fol.
lowing: 1st. Lehighton hotels have nc
respectable accommodations for ladies.
End. The Opera House manager and janitol
are either too law or too economical 70 keeI
the hall in comfortable condition, Are
the above accusations true? Let every
hotel proprietor and Mr.. Wieand answer
the above for themselves and benefit by
them In the future. Lehighton is, indeed
the most convenient place for the Institute
and If it is ever held anywhere else IL viii
be because the teachers are not treated q:
well here as at other places. FRANK.

There was no desultory striking; there was

and they marched forward shoulder 10

phAlanx Of orgAniEation moves for justice;
thus It cannot be when organization is
weakened by lack of harmony or by failure
Of practically all concentrating. The de-
nand Of the English miners was general.
The mines were shut down by the miners
With one accord. Coal advanced in price
promptly. The operators fell by battallons

The heavy rains this tall have totally ruined
crops IN some localities, and Its eieci Is now
being seen among farm animals. Almost every
day cases Of rOup, swclled head and "A distemDer
very disasterOus among poultry are report d. A
part OF this is also due to Improper feeding
Many persons think as soon as cold weather
comes on, they must begin TO feed heating food
to their hens, IKE corn meal, &c. The result Of
this course. Is II they do not break from the dis
eases prevalent they soon get very fat, look fine
and people wonder why they do not lay. You
cannot make hen lay when everything you
give her Is being transformed into fat, aud law
ing the foundation Of disease same AS with an

PIE IHDIAHAPoLIs Journal SAYS:
"Oficial changes and appointments will
come, of course, and in due time; but there
ere limitations 10 the work, both personal
and legal, which cannot be disregarded,
and We do not think 1t will DO advantageous
fer those whs attempt it. From what we
know Of General Harrison, we are quite
sure he win not be drawn or forced in this
matter be'ond his convictions of duty, and
that the Office seekers who attempt to crowd
him will not profit BY it, We are strongly
inclined 10 believe that in the next admin
iStration those who are the most clamorous
for once will not be the frat to be recog
niEed. Their verY forwardness and anxiety
viii be apt TO overshadov their real claims
OF merits. At all events, It will be gratify-
Ing to see Republicans maintain dignified
sslf-eontrol in this matter and leave the
new President to discharge his duties with
some degree Of freedom and independence. /"

Pleasant Wedding and Most En-
joyable Unfair.

Miss Louisa Mongler and Henry
Kombrink, daughter and son of
two of Audrain's most prosperous
families, were married at II a. m.
Thursday, by Rev. Bierbaum, at
the residence ofthe brides parents.
At night the Unfair at the residence
of the groom was one of the most
enjoyable gatherings we ever at
tended. Leading Germans from
all over the county were present
with their wives and children, and
a glorious time was enjoyed. The
supper was sumptuous and the
delegation from Mexico can testify
that it was all the most fastidious
could desire. The evening was
taken up with dancing, chatting
and games, all enjoyed by the old
and young. When the ''wee sma'
hours" arrived the guests departed
wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Kombrink a
long and prosperous life, with few
sorrows and many joys.
The delegation from Mexico got
lost in the mud and after several adj
ventures reached home minus over
shoes, etc., in safety, after tearing
down half mile of wire fence in
a desire to go across lots but all
feel amply repaid for any incon-
veniences they may have suffered.

To HIS Rxcellenoy, Albert p. Msrehone.
Governor Of the State os Missouri. Jefferson
CITY, Mo-.
The undersigned citizens Of the
State Of Missouri respectfully re-
present that Hugh M. Brooks was,
in the st. Louis Criminal Court, ON
the 14th day Of July, 1885, convict
ed of murder in the first degree and
sentenced to death, and being

promoted by the exercise Of execu-
tive clemency in the case, we re-
spectfully and earnestly ask that
you will commute the said sentence
Of death to imprisonment IN the

NO PROHIBITION.
Pettis County and Sedalia Will
Not Adopt It.
From the sedalla Bazoo.

Notwithstanding the attempt of
a few over-zealous and misguided
citizens to force prohibition,
through local option, upon this
community, the masses of the
thinking and sensible people of
Sedalia and Pettis county will never
consent TO impose such a fraud
upon their fellow citizens. Pro-
hibition is bound to injure the
commercial interests of any COM
munity where it is attempted to be
enforced. Just now the people Of
Sedalia are beginning to work to-
gether for their own good, and
preparing for long pull towards
enlarged commercial prosperity.
A bright future is in store for Sc
dalia, if proper efforts are used by
her citizens. An united effort will
indisputably place her on the sum-
NIT of commercial Importance,
that her grand territory and match.
less resources entitle her to. But
to attempt prohibition now would
| stifle her success like wet blanket
| on a flame.

Oh, Ho!
From the Rocheport Commercial.

If the people Of Columbia secure
the Chicago, Hannibal & Spring
field railroad it is very evident now
that they will have to be up and
doing. jefferson City has her eye
on the road and the citizens Of that
place will leave no stone unturned
to get the road. The Chicago &
Alton have made a proposition to
the new company in regard to using
the branch road from Mexico to
Cedar City, and Congressman Bland
has already introduced bill in
Congress asking for charter te
build a bridge across the Missouri
river at Jefferson City. If the new
company accepts the Chicago & AL.
toms proposition and Jefferson City
secures the road, Columbia will bt
left out in the cold. Columbia can
not afford to lose this very inn
portant road, and the monied mer
tof that city should step forward ane
put up the amount asked by thi.
company. The jefferson City peo
pie stand ready to give any amoun
of money to secure this road.

Jefferson City is very anxious 70
secure a railroad giving connection
with Chicago and Springfield, and
the Tribune ofthat place wants to
call a meeting of the Board Of
Trade TO take steps in this direc-
tion. It says:
eve would suggest TO the Board
of Trade the advisabiiity Of con-
ferring with the proper officials
and ascertain what will be required
of jefferson City in order TO secure
the crossing Of road at this point.
"A bill authorizing the construction
of a bridge across the Missouri
river at this point has passed the
House and will soon pass the Sem
ate and become a law. This 10 the
first necessary step towards Sc
curing the road. y
