A Dig In 1Iie Ribs.

If on the right side and lower part of the
diaphragm, though playfully meant and
delivered, is calculated to evoke pro-
family from a chappy whose liver is out
of order. When that region is sore and
congested, pokes seem 6endish. Look
at a mans countenance ere you prod
him under the ribs. If his skin and
eyeballs have sallow tinge, you may
infer also that his tongue is furred, his
breath apt to be sour, that he has pains
not only beneath his ribs, but also un-
der the right shoulder-blade. Also,
that his bowels are irregular and his
digestion impaired. Instead of making
a jocose demonstration on his ribs.
recommend him to take, and steadily
persist in taking, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the finest anti-billious and
Alternative medicine extant. Incompara-
BILE is it, also for dyspepsia, rheumatism,
nervousness, kidney trouble. and fever
and ague.

The Republicans have raised a
lusty howl because the ballot boxes
of West Virginia have been purified
by the casting out of the fraudulent
ballots eff Virginia and North Caro-
lima negroes And yet this same
partisan committee, on motion Of
Gen. Golf, rejected the ballots of g
life long citizens and legal -voters.in
Wayne county, because under mis-
understanding of the law, they were
cast out of the proper districts. We
are to understand from this that the
committee did wrong to reject tile
ballots of the nonresident negroes,
brought here for the purpose OF
fraudulent voting, but did right in
throwing out the ballots of W. W.
Brumield, county commissioner,
w. S. Napier, leading business man
of the county, and other lifelong
citizens, because they did not vote
at some particular precinct in the
county.

the Republican party will bring the

And now comes Mr.. Blaine
deems G. with the declaration that
the tariff must be revised and the
burdens of the people relieved.
Let us see, wasn't it only last fall
that this same man Blaine went
about the country preaching .spro-
lection" which is nothing but high
tariff, and predicting the ruin of the
country if those terrible Democrats
should elect Mr.. Cleveland and at
tempt to reduce the erroneous system
of taxation so long maintained by
the RepubIicans2 At that time the
REGISTER stated that this same
party would adopt the plank in the
Democratic platform upon which
their fight was made in the interests
of the people. 1t now predicts that
in the Republican platform of 1892
there will be stronger tariff revis-
ion plank than the Democrats adopt
ed in 1888. This is inevitable. 1t
,eN come, no difference what party
holds the reins.

To Farmers

The Agricultural Insurance Company,
lof WATERFOWL, New York, was organized
and commenced business in March, 1853,
with charter combining its risks entire
4 Iy to farm property. The charter has
been amended so as to include private
residences in cities and villages, and
lother property not more hazardons.
! The officers of the Company have never
allowed it to be diverted from this poll
IS. Many ofitscontenporaries OF twen-
ty years ago. have been swept away by
the devastating fires in our large cities,
while, this Company by its system of
isolation from business risks, has steadi-
ly pursued its prosperous course, win
ming its way TO popularity and strength,
until it stands second to no Company
for permanence and safety. 1t, there
fore, confidentally appeals for patron
age to the farmer, whose occupation ex-
empts him from business hazards; 10
those who hive retired from business
and its uncertainties, and desire securi-
~ for their lifetime accumulation; and
to the business man who wishes to ex-
empt his home from the uncertainties
of traftic-ohering each of them an in
surance in harmony with his desires
Prudent men often decd their homes to
their wives to preserve them from bust
ness calamity; legislatures pass exemp-
ton laws, and Congress Homestead bills
to secure homes; and the Agricultural
Insurance Company was organized for
their future protection from calamity
that no law or human foresight can
guard against. A Company doing a
general business may be a protection
under ordinary circumstances; still it
lacks that element of security and GER
tainty offered by Company doing only
an isolated residence business. This
Company is now admitted to be the
strongest Company in the World, in its
specially, and its history of over thirty
years is asufficient guarantee of the pro-.
lection afforded by its policies.

Losing Ideas of Proportion.

An architect riding uptown on the elevated road said to friend: "One disadvantage esthetically of the erection of so many high buildings in this city is that the people are losing old ideas of proportion. They can scarcely see the beauty of a building which Is not eight or ten stories high. l have heard numbers of people speak of the city hall-an architectural gem-as 'dumpy.' The new Metropolitan museum Is, of course, incom- plete, but 1t receives more criticism than 1t deserves, because every one is disappointed at not finding 1t several stories higher. If were to take New Yorker blindfolded to tho front of a building and say, Here Is a beauti- full and imposing structure and then take the bandage from his eyes, saying, Look at the roof, his gaze would instinctively be fixed at some point in the air eighty or one hup- dred feet above the ground. The beauty of a well proportioned building forty or fifty feet high, is scarcely understood. If every one could spend more time among the palaces and old buildings of Europe, the public taste on this subject would be greatly improved. /" New York Tribune.

A HAPPY HOME WRECKED,

Daughter Ruined, Mother Insane, Father
 in Jail, the Guilty 0Ian Free.
 CHAMBERsBURG, Pa, Jan. 26.-John and David Rubeck, two well known famers living near Clear Spring, Md, were placed in jail here for the attempted abduction and false arrest of William Trogle, a wealthy farmer of Mercersburg. John Rebuck's story is that about year ago Trogle, wh is a widower, became engaged to his 17-yearold daughter, Lulie Belle Rebuck, famous in the neighbor- hood for her beauty. Trogle and his fiancee left the home of Rebucks Jan 5 to come to Chalnbersburg to procure marriage license They wore to be married that day.
 The girl appeared at the home of her par ents Jan. 13 a raving maniac, having walked all the way from Trogle's home in the night time. In her lucid intervals she told of her abuse by Trogle; how he had failed to marry her, and had kept her In his house for a week. She became insane from shame and disappointment. The mind of her mother also became unbalanced because of the girls treatment.
 Yesterday the father and his brother came across the Maryland line heavily armed to compel Trogle to make reparation. At the point of the pistol they compelled him to ar. range for the expenses of keeping the girl in a private lunatic asylum, but when they went to Mercersburg to let Trogle draw money from the bank he had them arrested Both will be able to obtain ball. as they are large property owners.

A TIE UP IN BROOKLYN.

Deacon Rlchardson's Railways and the
 WOrkmen.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 2d-An the horse car lines of the Atlantic Avenue Railroad com pany of Brooklyn, seven ill number, or which roads Deacon Richardson is president, were tied up yesterday by the employees This was caused by the deacon's edict of Thursday. The deacon is confined to his house by illness, and is not able to confer with his men. Thursday all day Deacon Richardson had been holding conferences with committees of his men, but practically without any good result. The men then threatened to tie up the road, but the deacon would not yield his points or agree to the terms of the men. When the men brought their cars to the depot they left them there with the determination not to take them out again until some arrangement could be agreed upon whereby they could have $2 a day for ten hours work.
 The police have perfected arrangements for keeping the peace. No trouble is apprehendsd, however as the men are orderly and quiet.
 The deacon said he was determined to carry his point, and advertised for men to take the places of the strikers.
 The company has issued a circular notify ing striking employees that those who re- port for duty before Monday next will be allowed to resume their former places, but that new men employed in the meantime will not be discharged to make places for those who have left the companys employ. The company will attempt to resume opera tion of their lines with new men to-day.

Wonderful Things Guaranteed to Reading
 f..<ple Who Purcb ased Them-A Potts-
 town Baby Buried to Cure a Skin Disease.
 READING, Pa., Jan. 26.-A stranger de 3cribing himself as Dr. John H. Crate was committed to jail here charged with oper- ating among the poorer classes OH the back streets, selling them ail sorts of curious charms to cure a variety of complaints. District Attorney Grant has gathered lot of evidence in the shape of charms alleged to have been sold with written guarantee that possession of them would bring about wonderful results. One charm worn by a sufferer would turn an offending witch into a fish, and that fish would be eaten by the woman who possessed the spell; another was to drive out an evil spirit that caused St. Anthony's dance. All the charms had odd characters written upon them. At some places pieces of ordinary white paper GOV cred with hieroglyphics in ink were sold for fifty cents each.
 The man appears to be in earnest in his work and says it is not swindling. It Is claimed that reputable witnesses will ap- pear in court from other counties, who will swear that the charms they bought operated as represented. One woman will swear that Q charm Sno wore Killed WlUcn III nef stOIn- ach and cured her of dyspepsia that had re- duced her to a living skeleton. Dr. Crate halls from Lehigh county.
 PoTTsTowN, Pa., Jan. 26.-A curious affair occurred here illustrative of the superstitions of the Hungarians. Several children were seen running around on the frozen ground barefooted in the Hungarian quarter. They were all beating tin pans with sticks and ex- ercising their vocal organs in a manner in dicative of considerable excitement
 A closer examination developed the fact that ill the center of the circle described by the barefooted children i'll their evolutions a live baby was buried in the ground up to its head over which light shawl was thrown, and around which snow and ice were piled. Inquiry elicited the information that all thN was being done in order to drive away an affection of the skin with which the pool little thing was afflicted, their theory being that the ground drew the disease from the child, and that the noise of the children, to gether with their penance in running over the frozen ground barefooted, propitiated tho evil spirit that caused the disease

Years ago, when Charlie Adams, of the Pennsylvania road, used to run ticket od1ce, he was obliged to open is on Sunday from 6 A m. until noon. Ono Sunday he closed up about 12:S0 and strolled over to State street to catch . car for home. Professor Swings church was just out, and the car Adams boarded was filled with members of the con- gregation, among them his old friend Charlie Leonard. After exchanging the usual greet inKs Leonard asked Adams where he had been. "Oh, I've been at work, 1" said the witty and good natured passenger man. ''That's just the difference between us, {" said Leonard. "Now, Two been to church." Adams took hold of Q strap, leaned over to Leonards ear and whis. pered: 'Yes, and, judging from the smell of your breath, should think you had remained to communion. ."-Cbicago Herald.
