"A Splendid Circus.

The Walter L. Mains show which
pitched its tent in Rochester and gave
two exhibitions Saturday pleased every
body and was literally patronized.
Everything was shown as advertised.
One of the pleasant features of the day
was the entire absence of street fakirs,
the only one of that stripe attempting to
do business being from Peru, and was
promptly arrested on complaint of the
showmen. Walter Main should enlarge
his tent when he comes to Rochester
again.-Rochester, Ind, Sentinel.

DRlFTON ITEMS.

The hint which was given last week
in regard to destroying township prop
erty seems to have but little effect. The
small army of boys who congregate
about the No. school houses appear to
not haye diminished any although the
warning was plain enough to be under
stood by everybody. Since then, how
ever, little care may haye been used,
but it is bad place for them to gather
when there is plenty of room elsewhere.
The boys may think there is no harm in
it, but if it comes to case of law the
parents will probably think different.

of town, were among the applicants for

their sincere thanks to the young ladies

Early Transportation of Coal.

AS early as 1892 company was orga-
nized to carry coal from Schuylkill coun-
ty to Philadelphia, according to Saward' 8
Coal Journal. An ark was freighted and
sent to that city. 1t remained for year
heap of black stones, exciting the curl
osity and jeers of the idle and knowing
ones, and a monument of the supposed
folly of those whom it was thought ex
posed their ignorance by attempting to
apply these blocks of stone to any use
full purpose.

The habitues of Spangler's grove

the 31st instant. There was a good
attendance in the afternoon, and re-
marks Oy G.. W. Stinson Of Phillips

recorded vote of thanks. Among
several ideas, new to us, was a good
one about injury being done by the
Alliance. ''The farmer feeds and
clothes us, and any movement he
earnestly thinks necessary to better
his condition, will not be detrimental
to the residue of mankind. Another
about inherited politics caused merri-
ment. Of course others have referred
to the same subject, but not quite in
the same way.
He was followed by Mr.. Miller with
an address that was as a listener ex-
pressed it, like opening food gates
and letting the water rush OUT. His
vital assertions were ably verified by
apt selections, read from unquestion-
able authorities-the comptroller of
currency, monetary commission, SUI
preme court decisions, etc.

Fairbanks and Oudaby's in Chicago,

and thousands of tollers in that very
city. Do we wish prosperity on such
conditions? Referring to the discon-
tent attributed to "the howlers", he
arose almost to the sublime, affirming
