The science Of electricity, which is
becoming more end more useful every
year, has not yet accomplished the
solution of the battling problem of what
electricity is. Gen. 0. E. Madden, of
Boston, formerly assistant general
manager Of the Bell Telephone Company,
observes: The electrical world is still
looking for man who can tell what is
electricity. "Tbe chemist can tell you
What is lard and what is butter. He can
analyze their component parts and make
his results clear to you, but this subtle
force ofelectricity is still battling us all.

What IS this Disease that is Coming
Upon Us :

Like q thief atnight itsteals
in upon us unawares. The pa
tients have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has a
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort Of sticky slime
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is
feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes faint, all
gone sensation at the pit tof the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and cltlnmy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months tits attend
ed with a greenish-colored ex-
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, aud sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, a sort of whirl-
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites Of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de-
posting q sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently
splitting up Of the food, some
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a sWeetish
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation Of the
heart; the vision becomes i'm
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling Of great
prostration and weakness. All
Of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some
Of it's varied forms.
It has been found that ply
sicians have mistaken the cause
Of this disease. SOME have
treated it for a liver complaint,
,the1s for kidney disease, etc,
etc, but none Of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. 1t
is also found that Shaker Ex-
tract Of Roots, OF Mother Sci
gels Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.

IS 1T JUST

In our State News column will be
found an item to the effect that
man has made an assignment, max.
ing his wife and other relatives .spre
ferred creditors" This looks to us
like good illustration Of the imper.
lection of our laws with reference to
the collection of debts. We do not
pretend to know anything about the
case referred to, but the law is such
that il permits an insolvent debtor
to cheat all honest creditors ont of
their just dues, and they have no
remedy. The statute legalizes fraud.
A man who finds he cannot meet
his pecuniary obligations makes an
assignment of his property by deed
of trust. He may select the trustee
without any reference to anybody or
anything but his own within, and the
trustee may administer the trust in
his own way. He is not under
bonds, and the creditors have no Sc
curity save his own honor that their
interests will be safe in his hands.
Then, in addition, the insOlvent may
select from his creditors ar bitrarily,
with no reason save his own whim,
such as he pleases and make them
"preferred creditors" They, ifthere
be funds enough, have received the
full amount of their claims, while
those who may be even more deserv.
ing and needy have no chance to
get anything. The law might well
be entitled s. an act to suggest, pro.
mote and encourage dishonesty"
One of the first things our legislature,
at its next session, should do, is to
sweep the whole thing from the stat.
ute book, and give us a just and
equal enactment. The trustee
should be selected by the creditors
from three or more nominated by
the debtor, and he should give bonds
for the faithful performance of his
duties. BondSmen, who have made
risks without prospect of gain,
should first be remunerated, and
then all creditors should share pro
rata. The attempt to give one cred
itOr the advantage over the rest
should be made felony, and punish
ed by Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary. -Keyser Echo.

AN APRIL THUNDER STORM.

A dispatch to the Associated
Press from Tionesta, Pa, says !:

that passed over the oil regions on

Frey was in bis barn, looking out of
the door. A binding flash Of light

ly by a terrific thunder clap, and
Frey saw ball of fire run along a
wire clothes line from post in the
yard to corner of the house, to
which one end of the line was fasten-
ed. When the ball struck the house,
Frey saw the splinters fly from the
timbers, and the ball disappeared.
Frey's wife and baby were in the
house. He found the baby lying in
one corner of the kitchen and his
wife in the middle of the floor. Both
were apparently dead. He dashed
water in his wife's face, and she
slowly recovered. Frey then sue

wife's shoes were lying side by side
under the table. When be lifted

FELLoW-CITIZENS In the

threatened with an issue so vital to
our interests that it not only invol,
YES our right to live by honest labor,
but it also involves the life of this
Republic.
"There are in this country to-day
two gigantic political parties strug-
Cling for supremacy. While we are
not in duty bound to ally ourselves
with any political party, we should
at all times and in all contests hold
over the heads of the political par
ties the rod of independent action,
that we, as well as all other citizens,
could assist in compelling them TO do
their. duty to form OF government
purchased at so much cost of blood
and treasure.
We but do our duty to our Irish.
American fellow citizens when we
call their attention to tie nefarious
policy of one of these political par
ties in trying to foist upon the work
ingmen OF this country, the self
same conditions that have made him
the wretched slave he is in every
tree trade country, particularly Eng
land.
"To.day in every branch Of indus
try you will find the English me-
chanic competing with bis American
co.worker. If free trade was benefi-
cial he would certainly have remain
ed at home and enjoyed its luxur-
les.
We are threatened with the in
PRODUCTION of this same damnable
system. Can we passively lie on our
arms and permit any political party
to introduce such system into a
country that has laid bare its bosom
to receive our labor, that has given
us a refuge and guarantees MS a
home?

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-On Friday of
last week, Earnest Trail, son of Asses
sor Trail of this place, met with a
painful accident. While reaching
across the stove, attempting to place
can of powder on the mantel, the
can dropped from his hands onto the
stove. The powder ignited and the
boy was instantly enveloped by the
flame, which inflicted ugly burns on
his face and hands. We are glad to
learn however that he is not seriously
injured.
Mrs. Annie Gibson Yates of Carlisle,
Pa, was here last week on short
visit. She is the widow of Captain
Yates, a gallant officer who fell in the
Custer massacre. She Is herself of a
famous Revolutionary stock, and the
services of her family in the great
struggle that emancipated our Nation,
have been lately set forth in many of
the leading journals of Pennsylvania
and other States. She has now pen

now before the Lower House. We
hope she may be successful.
