a little patent inside and outside paper
in this town takes occasion TO abnse the
County Commissioners for laying a sufficient
tax to meet the expenses of Cambria county.
1t is a weil-known fact, that the county has
been compelled to borrow money in large
sums. and pay interest, and it Is now bor-
rowing.
In order to save this drain on the people
the Commissioners have very wisely laid
tax sufficient to relieve the people from the
burden of interest.
If, as the paper says, Commissioner Lloyd,
tried to keep the county borrowing and pay
ing interest which we doubt very much, as
he Is a young man OF q fair amount OF com
mon sense five say, he Is thus IN favor of
involving the county he is true to his
Republican instincts. 1t has always been
the policy OF the Democrats to pay-snd the
Republicans to borrow.
II the Republican party had not, by high
crime. defeated the laws passed by the
peoples representatives. in order to take
the tax off corporations. the tax would have
been reduced. but this neutral paper does
not protest against Governor Beaver for
refusing to correct the larceny, which allows
corporations TO go free, and taxes the poor
man and poor widow to the last doll

Murder and snicide.

| a terrible tragedy took place in A ltoons
| on Tuesday evening, in which ResleI
| Emigh, son OF Mr.. Joseph Emigh, OF VIII
more. was the chief actor, and In which
ended the earthly career of his daughter
Lura and himself.
Reser Emigh, who is about fOrty-fve
years of age, had been separated from his
wife for some time, and lived in Altoona on
Fourth street, near Eighth avenue. his
daughter Lura, who was about eighteen
years of age, keeping house for him. He
had no regular employment but worked
about the yards and was considerably
addicted to drinking. On Tuesday about
one O'Clock he informed the foreman for
whom he had been working, that he would
take his time and quit. He appeared to be
sullen and moody, but was sober. He re-
ceived his pay 1910 and remarked that he
was going TO mOYe to WilmOre. He went
home about O'Clock in the evening after
having purchased a revolver. Before en-
tering his own home he called at a neigh
bors, Mr. Blair Wike, where he found his
daughter Lura, who had staid with the
Wike family the previous night from fear
of her father who had been drinking. Both
father and daughter wen. 10 their own
house, and soon after three pistol shots
were heard. The door of the house, which
had been locked after their entrance, was
broken in, and on the floor, in the embrace
OF death was found the daughter lying on
the floor with one bullet hole through the
back entering two inches to the right Of the
spinal column passing through the right
lung and coming out at the breast bone,
anu the second ball entering :hs abdomen.
In an adjoining room the murderer Of his
daughter WAS found with q bullet hole in
his head, the ball entering through the top
Of the right ear and crushing through the
base OF the brain. Lura Emigh was said to
have been a fine looking, graceful girl OF
more than ordinary beauty. She was born
in Wilmore on June 20, 1870.

Freeman p. Lanes idea that r. B.
Langdon should be Senator Davis
successor on the national Republican
committee because he is man who

what is considered the acme of states
manship by the party which is an
nounced to embOdy the Intelligence
and integrity of this nation"
Prof. n. III. Winchell, of the univer-
sity, has a theory that winter cholera is
due to the raking of the river bottom by
the East Side Water Power company in
order to keep it free of ice, thus stirring
up organic matter which is taken into
the city mains. This theory is confirmed
by the fact that the disease has not
prevailed among the hundreds of tramps
who infest the city. e.

POLICE COMMIssIONERsHIP.

Louis FredericksOn is the latest as
pirant and probably combines three in
dispensable qualities: Democrat Sean
dinayian, workingman.
Suppose man who would stand with
Ames and Hoy should be chosen. would
there be general changing about in
the force? Of course those three could
remove no one, but they could change
the ranks all around. What shaking
up there would be!
Mayor Bakers term of office is very
short, and there is no kindly disposed
legislature to extend it. After the cleo
ton of the fourth man he will be simply
mere police commissioner.
Suppose man after the Democratic
heart should be chosen, what would be
the effect Oh the police commission issue
before the people next fall?
The best judges say Hill, GuileS and
Burke are neck and neck in the race,
with no perceptible distance between
them.
If after thesselection the acts of the
commission and the service of the force
should be unsatisfactory, where would
the Odium LEON the Republicans, who
created the board, or the Democrats,
who are in majority?
With so many promising candidates
in the field, dark horse as winner is
not so improbable after all.
1t is said the Republicans will vote
for L. B. Janney in case the Democratic
caucus agrees OH man.
Suppose the Democrats should pre-
sent the name of a wOrkingman. where
would the votes of Aid. SwenSon and
other labor refOrmerS go?

ADJUSTMENTS.

Steele Mckay has in all his PLAYS car
ried out the popular conception of mod
ern drama. He appeals to the impress
Sionable many, instead of to the
discriminating few-to sensibilitv
more than sense. Consequently
he has managed to please the
popular taste as much if not
more than any of the late dramatists.
His pathos rs of simple, sincere kind
and his humOr bright. sparkling and
easily understood by all. He manages
TO make the situations strong and eXcit-
ing, and insures the deepest sympathy
for his hero or heroine. "HaZel
KIrke," the piece to be pre-
scented the coming week at the PEG
pies theater, is considered to be the
best work ever written by this popular
playwright. While it has some of the
characteristics of some of his other
works in it, he has utilized splendid
material to much better advantage than
is usually seen in his other dramas. The
plot deals with the trials of a daughter
of a stubborn old miller, who carts
OFF his daughter because she cOnfesSes
her love for nobleman whom
her father has saved from drowning,
and whom she afterwards marries. She
is living happily with her new husband
when. she receives a visit from his
mother, who tells her she is not his
lawful wife, and says they must part,
claiming 1t to be the only method of
