The fall election this year will occur on
November Sth, the latest it can occur un-
der the law, which fixes it the first Tues
day after tho first Monday. The last pres
idential election which occurred on that
date was 1864.
Lightning struck the opera house ut st.

distinctly. Rotten or bad wood will

An examination of the "penny and
nickle in the slot" machines all over the
country might solve the problem of the
scarcity of money, When ten thousand
pennies are found in a single machine, as
was the ease in one instance, the amount
of money they contain can be better ina
gined than described.
An exchange gives this bit of sensible
advice: In betting ON election remember
that when that bet is decided the cold
winds of November will be blowing
through your homes. Before putting you.
money up on sure thing look into your
coal bin, and examine the condition of
your last winters nannes and overcoat.
You may decide to adopt the only course
that is absolutely sure, which is to hang
onto your money. This is no joke"
rolling item gathers no moss. Some
wagon maker who had been dumb for
years picked up Il hub and spoke" this is

his plane and saw u deaf ranchmau went

erman caught barrel of herring and

There appears TO be some doubt as to the
ability of the Marquette Manufacturing
company to turn out all the election booths
necessary 10 supply the several counties of
the state for the approaching November
election. over 10000 of the %, 600 required
are still TO he manufactured, and the man
ager OF the company says it will require
steady work with no mishaps to complete
the contract by November LIST. The state
pays for the booths, annexes and guard
rail, while the expenses of supply ing bal
lot box, polling houses and extra large
table is borne by the county.
This month the new postal money orders
will go into use. The system is such that
there is little or no complication, and at
the same time it is good way TO send
money. A sheet calling for amounts from
one cent to 50, has been prepared, and
which on payment of one cent and the
amount to be sent, will he torn OF about
the same as an express order. There will
be no writing on it by the postmaster, the
ta2n l,.s. IL
The government guarantees its safe trans
portation. 1t is thought that the new sys-
tenn will be used extensively by senders
Of small amounts.
Some people take offence when mention
is made about girls ''gadding" the streets,
and yet the results Of such indulgence fire.
quently speak in unmistaSable terms of
the baseness which it leads to. Tho girl
or girls who are found on the streets every
evening smiling at the boys and making
"mashes" generally bring disgrace 10 their
parents and gain for themselves the repu-
tation Of being disreputable characters.
If the practice is commenced in tender
years and followed up disreputo is almost
inevitable. When a girl has once lost her
reputation by such practice, eyad though
her virtue be untainted, yet shd' ever
after be ostracized from good soEiety. Az
ter girl has had her own way for few
years and becomes noted as a gadder, par
entail restraint or even the law is of no
avail. The time to check such perform
ances is in the beginning. .-Reynoldsville

The Blizzard blames the Franklin News
man of taking in the Conneautville fair
and there being "taken in" by a farmer
boy in a cute fashion which the news de-
scribes as iollowes: AT the Conneautville
fair last week a farmer lad worked a trick
that discounts the Heather Chinee. lie
was selling "cold tea, and did it with a
peculiar wink. lie only had two or three
pint and half pint bottles in his pocket at
a time. lie taxed" 70 cents per pint, and
after getting his cash he slid the bottle in
to the purchasers pocket very adr0itly
for AN honest farmer boy The supply
came from a house near the grounds,
