Four years ago William Krickbaum

-Four years ago William Krickbaum
was a supporter of the republican can
didate for Prothonotary. He was q
candidate himself for the democratic
nomination, took all his chances before
the convention, and when he was de-
feated he songht revenge by lending
all his influence TO the republican party
and against the regular democratic
nominee. 1t was matter of frequent
occurrence to see Krickbaum and Kin
ter in consultation during the canvass,
and the Sentinel, Kriokbaums organ
at that time, boldly announced that he
was for Cleveland, Rinter and reform.
Krickbaum did not deny this at the
time, because the announcement was
made by his authority and direction.
lie "ecer did deny IL until he thought
of being a candidate for office again,
and found that his 6Olti,ag record ,oas

-Four weeks ago the same charge
was again printed in the Catawissa
Item. 1t was not sprung upon him a.
a campaign story, but he was given
abundant opportunity to disprove It, il
possible. He has not dared to Ceny it
for he knows that the names of res
ponsible men can be given. " hom he ure

wait until just before the deleeat,
election, and then publish den, al il
his paper, but that will be an admis

fairly and openly. If it were untr1,
he would have denounced the cbarp
as false, and would boldly have dc
msnded the proofs, as we have don
with him in another matter. Woul,

So Will the People.

Congressman Knute Nelson. Republican.
Worthier, better and justsr, it seems
to my mind, would it be to give our
people, the toiling masses, cheaper
food, cheaper fuel, cheaper clothing
and cheaper shelter-cheaper because
released from the heavy and unecess-
ary burden of high tariff taxes. Twill

William Krickbaum held the office of
Clerk to the County Commissioners
for twelve years; he was Prothonotary
for six years, making eighteen years
OF continuous Office holding. He was
a candidate for third term as Protho-
notary, an applicant for the Office of
Deputy Revenue Collector, an appli-
cant for Commissioner c.erkship, talk
ed of running against w. H. Snyder
last year, and this year wants to be
sent to the legislature. He is pro-
fessional office-seeker.

William Krickbaum said on last
week Thursday that "there is no such
q thing as honesty" He has often
been heard to make the same remark.
He also said that he has no confidence
in anybody. He judges the
whole world by himself. But
could man who says "thcre is no
such thing as honesty" be trusted in
the legislature, where there ares many
opportunities to make money dishon.

Oonstables Must be Paid.
ENTITLED TO FEES FOR VISITING SALOONS
AS DIRECTED BY THE BROOKS BILL.


AS DIRECTED BY THE BROOKS BILL.
ALLENTOWN, July 30.--Judge AL
bright this morning passed upon a
question on which there has heretofore
been no decision The High License
law of 1887 ccmpels consts bles to visit
all hotels and saloons in their respect
i've districts and report any violations
Of the law. From the fact that no
compensation was allowed for this work
the constables of Lehigh some time ago
decided to make test in the case of
Reuben Semmel, constable of North
White Hall township, against the
county of Lehigh to recover mileage
and fees.
The case came up for argument, the
constable being represented by M. G.
L. Kline and the county by James L.
Schaadt. The court decided that for
the service imposed under the act the
constables are entitled to twenty cents
for each visit to restaurant or hotel
and mileage the same as is allowed for
serving summonses.

There is present portentous and
actual danger in supporting Harrison
in this state. The Republicans of this
State have before them an opportunity
to show that their anti Chinese zeal
has not been pretence. If they wish
to save their party in California from
absolute destruction let them reject
Harrison and refuse to put an electoral
ticket in the field. The whole state
will await the decision with interest.
Upon the issue of silv,r coinage Har-
rison stands against every principle
and profession of his party in these
silver States, and his record is in direct
opposition to the national platform
upon which he is nominated.

A Fur Traders Fortune,

New York Press: Charles z. Chou
teau of st. Louis, who was at the st.
James lately, is one of the best known
men in that progressive city. Young,
bright, and wealthy, he has added, by
judicious investments, to the large for
tune left him by his father. The founda-
tion of his family's prosperity was laid
by his grandfather, Pierre Choutcau,
who. way back in l774, was member of
the struggling little colony of trappers
and fur traders led to where st. Louis
now stands by Pierre Laclede. There
were hardly one hundred people, men,
women and children, in the band of
French pioneers that built the first log
hounse not far from where the great
Southern hotel now stands. Around it
soon sprang up clusters Of little homes,
and trappers hunted through the great
Missouri bottoms and gathered in thou
sands of pclts. which they shipped to
New Orleans and sold. When the big
country then known as Louisiana was
ceded to the United States in 1903 most
of the colonists went back with their ac-
cumulated savings to their native land.
but young Chouteau remained to gather
greater wealth. He bought up Il large
tract of land in and about the abandoned
settlement. paid for it in furs, ,and to-day
many of the most costly and best busi-
ness houses of ST. Louis stand on the
ground that the shrewd young trapper
purchased little more than seventy

Preparing to Dedicate.

1t is the purpose of those having the
matter in hand to make the dedication
of the new court house an event worthy
of the bar of the county and the city in
which the structure is located. All the
requisites to such an event are at hand.
The attorneys. as we'll as the citizens at
large. are interested to a great degree,
and there is no doubt but that the ded-
ication of our temple of justice will be
the event of the season. There is no
finer structure of the kind in the state.
and in this fact, and that we as city
are its possessors, is cause for just pride.
On Saturday afternoon next the County
Bar association will meet to arrange "a
programme of exercises for the occasion.
The committee of arrangements is con-
stituted of the following attorneys: d..

ORION'S NEBULA.
Satisfactory Observation With the Big
TelescOpe.

San Jose Cal, Mercury, Jan. sth: A
very satisfactory observation was made
last evening through the Lick telescope.
This is the second time an attempt has
been made to use the big glass and by
far the best, as last Tuesday when the
first faint glimpses of the star were OBJ
tained through openings in the clouds
as they passed overhead, everything
was unfavorable for definite results.
Yesterday, however, was perfect day, as
far as atmospheric conditions were con-
cerned, for during the daytime there
had not been drop OF rain and no wind.
The weather was cool and crisp, the sky
was absolutely cloudless and the stars
shone out with marvellous distinctness.
The forepart of the evening was spent
in getting the dome to move easily and
the various attachments of the telescope
to work properly. About 8 o'clock
everything was in readiness and the tel
escope was turned toward the brilliant
constellation Of Orion, situated in right
ascension, about six hours in declina-
tion, very near the equator, where
Orion's wOndrOus nebula was observed.
