Catarrh Cant Be Cured

With LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Cata-rh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure 1t you
have to take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is no
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the
best blood purifiers, acting directly
on mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination Of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing catarrh. Send for testimon-

A Magnificent Appropriation For Public
School Purposes.

The appropriation for public school
purposes in Pennsylvania for the year
1892 aggregates the magnificent sum
of $4,000, 900, which is more than
double the amount ever made by the
legislature for the same purpose. The
main object to be effected by this in
crease Of appropriation was to bring
the school term up to the legal ten
m onths period in all parts of the State
and to pay teachers better salaries. In
some districts, however, instead of us.
ing this money for its contemplated
purposes, the appropriation is applied
to reducing taxation therein by which
tax payers who ought to contribute a
share to the school fund are unfairly
relieved of theirjus Obligations and the
great object of the commonwealth to
improve the benefits of public educa.
ton are defeated to the injury of the
highest possible public interest. The
rates of taxation for school purpose, :,
are not excessive anywhere in the state,
and therefore, they should not be re-
duced anywhere, because the appro-
priatons to which we refer afford venal
directors the opportunity to do it to
the injury of the children for whose
better education the state seeks to
provide. If taxation is reduced by
means Of this appropriation when the
money is exhausted it will be difficult
to increase it again. In the districts
where the taxes are only levied on one,
and in others a half mill, this entire
appropriation is being used to pay Or
dinary expenses, leaving the schools
unimproved, teachers salaries at low
rates and school terms only of the most
limited lengths.
In a number of counties where the
taxes are up to twelve mills directors
intend to apply all the money they re-
ceive from the State to improving the
, schools and keeping up the old way Of
taxation. 1t is the true way to treat
this subject and recognition Of the
public schools to be pla ced where the
commonwealth intends to raise them
on basis of such liberal support as
will make them Of the greatest possible
benefit to the people.
1t is understood that Superintendent
Waller. will prepare circulars on this
subject for the general guidance of
school directors that they my clearly
comprehend the uses to which the leg
islature understood this increase of
appropriation would be applied when
it was made for the benefit Of the
schools. -Xarrisburg Independent.

What is Blaine's Game?

Mr.. Blaine arrived in New York on
Monday evening. where he proposes
to spend most OF the week. He exhib
tied to the crowd of reporters and took
apparent pride in his excellent physical
condition, but his lips were absolutely
sealed as to the candidacy for the Pres
idency. What is Blaine's game?
1t is evident that Blaine is not jog.
ging along in haphazard way on the
edges of the Presidential track. He
has purpose, and that purpose mus,
mean one of two things-either that
he intends to accept the Minneapolis
nomination, or that he intends to hold
his present attitude until the time
comes for nomination 10 be made
when he will repeat his last hour de-
clination of 1888. Which of these is
Blaine's game?
Blaine is quite too astute politician
not to know that he can command no
respect by occupying a halfway atti-
tude on the Presidential question. He
has great party more than willing to
accept him as its candidate; he has
but to indicate his assent to assure his
unanimous and enthusiastic nomina
ton, and his relations with the Presi-
dent are such that he cannot, without
positive dishonor, remain in any am
biguous position.
Harrison proffered him the field sew
eral months ago with the field open
to him alone he publicly and positive
ly retired himself from the list of can
didates and thereby made Harrison
enter the race for re nomination. If
he has now reconsidered that purpose,
and means unCer any circumstances
to accept nomination, common de-
cency r:quires that he should make
that purpose known to the President
before he could intimate it to any 9TH
er. Has he done so? And, after hav-
ing done so, has he decided to be the
Republican candidate for 1899 !?
What is Blaine's gamer
Is Blaine playing his game for Har-
rison's denomination He was accused
by many of delaying his utterance on
the Presidency four months after his
nomination. had been prominently dis
cussed, solely in the interest of his
chief. 1t was charged that he thus
prevented the opposition to Harrison
from concentrating on another man
until Harrison had forged sufficiently
to the font to make his nomination
reasonably safe, and then he retired to
give his chief the field. Is he repeat
ing that game now1
In no way could Harrison's nomi.
nation be made more certain than by
Blaine remaining silent In the face of
the present Blaine tide throughout the
country, until the Convention shall be
ready to ballot for a candidate, and
then send peremptory declination as
he did four years ago. This may be
the purpose Of Blaine's provoking 81
lence, and, if SO, he is playing a win
ming hand for Harrison's nomination.
What is Blaine's game P Times.

Mending Straw Hats.

1t is convenient to know how to re-
pair straw hats, as those of the child
rem of the household get sadly batter
ed in brim and crown. One should
always keep one old straw hat OF each
of the ordinary colors-black and
brown and white-to supply materials
for repairing, and to this end it is wise
to avoid buying the fancy straws, as
the plain braids are much more dura-
BILE and useful, Black thread No. 40
is used for all sewing of straw, except
the finest grades of hand-sewed hats,
and tine domestic milliner may well
follow the trade rule. The straw
should be wet or dampened as it is
sewed, as this will prevent its break
ing. When a brim is ragged, rip off
the torn braid and taking braid that
matches, deity weave the ends to-
gether and sew around the hats edge
as many rows as are wished. The
brim can be made to turn down by
stretching the upper edge of the braid
tightly as it is sewed, or made to roll
up by holding the upper edge of the
braid loosely, the mender guiding the
results by her taste and judgment as
she sews. Torn crowns are replaced
in the same way. Braids that do not
match can be utilized wherever the
trimming will hide the patel, and un
fashionable low crowns may thus be
transformed into those of any desired
height. Harpers BaSar.

The Case Ag,inst Banker Dill.
ALL ATTEMPTS AT A SETTLEMENT WITH
CREDITORS ARE ABoRTIvE.


CLEARFIELD, May "a.
Eversince last Thursday, when the
case against William II. Dill, ex-presi
dent of the defunct First National
Bank OF Clearheld, was supposed to
have been settled in Pittsburg, the
people of Clearheld and surrounding
county have been in high spirits, as
they thought, judging from the liberal
proposition of the Dill people, that
every depositor would not only get his
money, but that the stockholders would
get at least 60 per cent on the face o.
their stock instead of being called on
for an assessment.
This was tine true state Of affairs,
and all these hopes or expectations
would have been realized had the
settlement been carried out as agreed
upon by both sides in Pittsburg, but
on Saturday last various rumors were
ahoat concerning several differences
already in sight. O. l.. Schoonover,
of Kylertown, this county, who was a
heavy stakeholder in the defunct
Phillipsburg Bank, of which Jonathan
Boynton, Dill's father-n law, was the
nominal president, on Saturday issued
on a judgment he had obtained against
the bank for $4,000 and levied on
the Boynton homestead, which was a
part Of the property to be turned over
to the First National by Mrs. Dill.
Everybody here believed, and be-
lieves yet, that Boynton decided this
property to his daughter, Mrs. Dill,
and this move Of Schoonover's caused
considerable commotion and, together
with the refusal Of the Dill people to
agree to some of the minor details Of
the settlement, had the effect Of putting
both sides on their mettle. First the
Dill side refused to accept a certain
deposit mentioned in the settlement as
a deposit Of Mrs. Dill.
They then refused to consider Ger.
tain household articles as part of the
property and claimed they we're not to
go with the realty, and SO on until the
attorneys on either side considered all
arrangements off and notified their
witnesses to go to Pittsburg. This
aftern )on, when the 4.o7 train for
Tyrone pulled out, the principals and
witnesses started for Pittsburs and will
be on hand tomorrow morning when
the case is called in the United States
Court.
Since the above was in type the
case has been settled.

KANSAS City, Mo-, May 2I,-The
Missouri River rose about an inch
last night, and is now stationary again.
Reports from above indicate that a
iall is coming. The Kaw fell six
inches at Manhattan. The wind blew
almost gale from the northwest all
night, greatly increasing the discom
tort of those who are camping on the
elevated roadbeds of the various rail
roads.
AS the water begins to go down an
estimate is being made of the actual
damage done in this vicinity, and it is
believed that half a million dollars will
not cover it. There are now in Har-
lem, Argentine, Armourdale, and
West Kansas, over one thousand
houses which have been deserted and
are surrounded by water. 1t is i'm
possible to more than make a rough
estimate, but it is believed that the
damage, actual and resultant, will
amount to fully $1,000, 900 in this i'm
