WORTHY oY THE HONOR.

Lincoln Times: As a representative
Mr.. Wilson has proved himself to be a
public servant in every respect worthy
of the honor conferred upon him. He
has worked faithfully for the interests of
the state, and has accomplished as much
as any man could have done in tho
position. He carried the state by a
grand majority and will do 1t again this
Iall.

FARMERS WAREHOUSE SYSTEM.

Garfield Enterprise: The advantage
OF the farmers warehouse system is
clearly shown by q transaction on
Eureka Flat last week. The farmers had
pooled %, 900 bushels Of wheat and guve
the different buyers chance to bid on
it. Tacoma, Seattle and Portland buy
ers competed sharply for the grain
which was sold to Tacoma for 81 n cents
clear of sacks, equal to about 26If cents
in the Palouse country. 1t was the
highest price paid for wheat so lar this
season. The farmers at Garfield can
pool 200, 900 or more, tempting bait for
buyers.

DEATH OF HON. ALFRED GILMORE.

4
News was received here last week of the
death of the Hon. Alfred Gilmore, in New
York City, on June 10Th ult., in the 18TH
year of his age.
As Mr. Gilmore was former and rather
prominent citizen of Butler a notice is due
his life here, although there may be few
vet living who remember him. His father,
the late lion. John Gilmore, was one of the
earliest settlers in Butler and was very
good and prominent man, occupying many
positions Of honor and trust, among them
State Treasurer, member of Congress and
member of the Legislature in the early
days of this county. He owned the square
on East Diamond where the Riddle build
ings stand, and lived in house that stood
where the residence of the late Capt. Jacob
Zegler now stands. Alfred was one of his
Youngest sons and with his brother, the
late Judge Samuel A. Gilmore, composed
a law firm here, practicing law for many
years and until, in lS4S, Alfred was elect
cd TO Congress from the district OF which
Butler Co. then formed part He was re-
elected in 1850 After serving in Congress
he left here and, with the late Amos n.
Meylert, went into the coal business at
Scranton, Pa, which was his principal
residence since then. Samuel became
Judge Of the Washington and Fayctte Co.
district about the same time, and died IN
the latter county some years ago. An only
sister Of theirs was the late Anna Lena
Gilmore, who became the first wife OF
Eugene Ferrero, Esq, and was noted in
her early days as quite a society leader
here. The death Of Alfred, We believe,
removes the last remnant of one OF the
most active and influential families who
ever lived in Butler. Not single one OF
large family, nor descendant Of one, re-
mains to tell the story of their former
residence in this place.

Gen. Fremont Dead.


General John Charles Fremont died at
his residence, No. 40 West Twenty-fifth
street, last Sunday afternoon. His death
was sudden and unexpected, and resulted
from an attack of peritonitis. DR.. Martin
attended the patient, but was unable to
afford relief The General was out on Fri
day in apparently good health. His son,
who lives at Sing Sing, was notified of his
fathers illness, but was unable to reach
New York before death occurred.
Since the close of the war General Ere
mont has taken little part in public affairs.
From 1873 to 1881 he was Governor of Ar
izona. At the present session of Congress
his rank of Major General was restored to
him and he was retired as such.
General Fremont was a man of wonder
full achievement, ,indomitable courage, great
perseverance, bitter hater Of slavery
though born in the South, and great
lover of the Union. His services won for
him much renown both at home and
abroad.

HOW 1T rs VIEWED IN MERCER.

MERCER, July l4.-The Congressional
situation is the leading topic Of converse
ton here. The great majority say that
Mcdowell was fairly nominated, that they
will stay right with him till the close of
the polls, and that his big majority will be
an answer TO the charges Of corruption
brought against him. They say his nom
ination Yves fairly made on the nineteenth
ballot, and fairly made again on the clos
ing one, and that too, against the lending
ring politicians of the whole district.
Ugly insinuations arc made against Sen
ator Quay. II is said that Mcdowell talk
cd much moro plainly to Matthew four
years ago than Is the custom with men
who expect political prcferment, and that
Mr.. Quay still holds grudge. III the fight
continues Delamater will likely see much
less majority in Mercer County than he ex-
poets. Republicans here also assert that
Townsend's nomination two years ago was
made under circumstances that the less
said about 1t the better fer the credit oi

When love has bound the heart,
IT'S hard, so hard to speak the words
We must forever part
Dearest mother, we must lay thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face
What is home without mother9
You will never, never know,
Till that mother lieth low,
Low beneath the budding daisies,
Free from earthly care and pain;
To that home so sad without her,

was again retired for crookedness. Then
he went to Washinton, Pa, and was eject

wife also charges terrible brutality and
scandalous conduct and shocking actions.
The husband charges that his wife is q

brilliant chance of moving up into second
place, perhaps up to the head of the col

gone and President Lond solemnly babe
farewell to the two handsome trophies.

with the lead. 1t was a grand

pretty uphill game n crept along stead

lap. They caught up in the tenth frame,
as it closed with the teams tied. An
extra frame was rolled. 1t looked as II
the victory would fall to the visiting
team, as the last man closed with a big
total. The last bowler of the home club
did equally as well, aud the Volunteers
won by three pins.
The Volunteers opened with 1874. while
the C~enturys made a weak start. They
had only III in their first frame. This
was a lead of Al for the South Bergen
boys. The second frame was In. almost
even one. 1t closed with the Volunteers
in front by so pins. In the third the Cen
turys began to cut down the lead. They
brought it down to 81. In the fourth
they gaided 2, and in the fifth they gained
10. The first half ended with the Volun-
teers in the a by rs pins. In the sixth
the Centurys were 10 behind, In the

The eleventh and extra frame was
opened by Beiderhase with a break and
Lusch with a strike. which gave the Vol

We're again in the lead by a fair majority.
Then K. Del Orme and Hanle had breaks.
and the Centurys slipped back. as
Roehner and Kaiser had spares, Foley
had a strike to Hulse's spare, a gain
for the Volunteers. George Del Orme
had a break and Fulton a spare and the
Volunteers recovered the lead by 4 pins.

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home
Sufferers are not generally aware that these
diseases are contagious, or that they are due to
the presence Of living parasites in the lining
membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes.
Microscopic research, however, has proved this
to be a fact. and the result of this discovery is
that a simple remedy has been formulated where
by catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are
permanently cured in from one to three simple
applications made at home by the patient once
in two weeks.
N. B.--This treatment is not q snuff or an oint-
ment; both have been discarded by reputable
physicians as injurious. A pamphlet explaining
this new treatment is sent on receipt OF ten
cents by A. FL. Dixon & Son, Nos. 337 and $50
