Farmers for Free Trade.

The Union of Tuesday morning pub
fishes communication from Lobb's Run,
Pa, written by Supervisor Heath, of
Bowling. After writing feelinglY of the
scenes of his childhood home, and the
tender "reminiscences brought to mind,
Mr.. Heath describes the condition of the
farmers there and how they regard the
tariff as affecting their class as follows:
Farming is about as unremunerative
here as in the west and the farmers are
more generally dissatisfied, although the
crops are very fine with the exception
OF oats, which will be failure, caused by
bug of some kind) but the prices are
! below the cost of production aud what
surprises me most is that every farmer.
regardless of politics, is out and out for
free trade. While have not been over
very extensive territory yet / made it q
point to inquire of every farmer could
see, and found the sentiment the same.
A more complete fiepover has not been
witnessed here since the war of the rebel
lion began. Intelligent men, who three
years ago claimed that free trade" would
ruin the farmer. now say that ''free trade"
is the only salvation. The home market
theory is here of no account, because
western grain, meat and hay are brought
here and sold here for less than the
farmers here can produce them. The
same may be said of butter. eggs and
poultry. The coal business is dull. but
every other branch of business is boom
ing, especially iron, steel and glass. Good
productive land that rented for $40 per
acre would be hard to rent now at 81;
aud have been told by the most solid
farmers in the country that land has de-
preciated 33 to So per cent, according to
iocslity-that is, for farming purposes
while for building purposes fabulous
prices are being paid. The county farm
eight miles from the city-containing
$50 acres, is now offered for sale. The
price asked sd. 900 per acre-it is said,
will be paid by Carnegie & Co. for build
ing purposes.

Notice.

1t has been the custom for the city
council TO set aside for one day-the
Fourth of July-an ordinance which pre-
vents the use of all kinds of fire arms and
explosives within the city limits. By
some oversight this matter was over
looked this year. While there is no in.
tention on the part of the city authori
ties to quell the patriotism of young
America, it is our duty to take all neces-
ssry precsution for the prevention of &C.
cidents and fires which are liable TO occur
when all combustible is as dry as a tin
der-box. The police force will keep a
strict watch for any wanton violations of
this ordinance and will arrest all persons
throwing lighted fire crackers at passing
teams or in crowds upon the streets We
would ask the cooperation of all citizens
TO aid US in this law.

Arrested for Drawing Funds That Did
Not Belong to Him.
CHICAGO, July 2.-Charles p. Packer,
the president of the Park National bank,
which failed week ago, was arrested yes
terday on charges preferred by Bank Elk
aminer Sturges that Packer hao, while
president of the bank, drawn check for
5000 although at the time he had but 81,
900 on deposit. 1t is not alleged th at there
was any attempt on Mr.. Packers part to
cheat the concern out of 81 600, and it is
not denied that after the check was drawn
there was more than the 1900 on deposit
to his credit.
Only a Technical Offense.
A prominent banker said yesterday that
Mr.. Packers act was probably technical
offense against the law, but no one would
consider it a fragrant error except the
bank examiner. Mr. Packer gave bonds
in &, 600 to secure his appearance for pre-
liminary examination before United
States Commissioner Hoyne. Mr. Packer
and C. +. Bell, the cashier, resigned their
positions yesterday and their designations
were accepted.

Health IN Old Age.

Edward Cellinson, Queens, N. Y,
says:
IL commenced using Brandreih's pills
over fifty>five years ago. l first bought
them in London. and have continued US
ing them since | came TO this country in
1886. l am now over seventy-five years
old, hale and hearty, and attribute nv
wonderful health to the persistent use of
Brsndretb's pills. Occasionally have a
bad cold or severe attack of rheumatism,
indigestion or biliousness, but four or five
doses of Brandreth's pills always cure
me Whenever nv children have been
sick with scarlet fever. measles, humps
acid stomach. disordered digestion or
costiveness. few doses of Brandreth's
pills restore their health at once
Brandreth's pills are composed of nu,
merous vegetables so combined that each
multiplies the virtues of the rest. They
never can do any harm. Their action is
always the same. no matter how long or
in what doses they are taken. They pu-
rify the blood. They stimulate the liver
They invigorate digestion. One or two
at night for a week will demonstrate their
power and is generally sufficient to cure
ordinary diseases
Brandreth's pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store. either plain or sugar
coated

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of The ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that Is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an ipflamed con.
dltion of mucous lining of the Eustsch-
ian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or i'm perfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
fiammatiOn can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness-caused by catarrh
that we cannot cure by taking Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

OF opinion that electricity has a great

siderable Inconsistencies of some of the
beet and most remarkable achievements
that persevering inventors have made in
developing the great practical side of this
science. The article continues:
For electric railways and electric light
ing return might proftably be made to
the principle of producing electricity by
batteries of carbon zinc and acid COM
pounds. Proceeding upon this idea Mr..
Geo. B. Pennock has perfected system
which completely distances any other for
providing electricity for electric motors
for railways. and for the purpose of cleo.
trio lighting. The ordinary electric rail-
way. such as we see in large cities. is far
from being perfect. The expense of
maintaining power houses is very con-
siderable. Mr.. Pennock, by his pri
mary batteries. can do awav with
the necessity of storage batteries. dyna
mos, overhead wires. etc., altogether. and
yet run the cars as fast as ever, and at
mere fraction Of the cost. The batteries
are placed on the motor Car and the lat
ter can thus be run on any track. No
cells are wasting when out of service, and
no local action is allowed on the Pennock
porous cup. The system costs about one
fifth of other electric systems, and about
one-twentieth Of the cable system.
The speed and power attained are said
to be far greater than with the steam en-
CINE. as will shortly be shown by train
TO be run between Chicago and New
York by the inventor himself. For cleo
trio lighting the system is exceptionally
