800 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
Catarrh Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being con-
stitutional disease, requires a constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucuous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list OF Tes-
timonials. Address,

OF Interest to Taxpayers.

Under the new revenue law the
Sheriff's Of the Commonwealth will have
TO make full and complete settlements
with the Auditor by the first day of
December, which will push the collect
ion Of taxes, somewhat And provis-
ion in the law requires the taxpayer to
have his receipt before the Sheriff can
settle, which will make rather hardship
on some Sherifis, especially, where they
have, in the past, whenever the time OF
final settlement came about, been adj
yancing the money to meet whatever
there was until the taxes could
be collected. Now it is quite different.
All unpaid taxes in few days longer
will necessitate the Sheriffs Of the State
Of making levies to meet the require
ments OF the law TO the letter. Eliza

Fire at Skillman.

The residence of James +. Couty, Of
Skillman, together with all his household
and kitchen furniture and $400 in
money was totally consumed by fire
last Sunday morning while they were
away attending Sunday school. The
cause OF the fire is not known. Mr..
Couty thinks it was from defective nue
while others think il was set on FIRE for
the purpose OF robbery. The money be-
longed TO he and his brother and consist
ed OF currency and silver. 1t had been
in the house for some time and they
forgot to look after it on this particular
morning. The house was two story
log dwelling and one OF the oldest in the
bottom. 1t Is known as the old Hog
Mansion and stands directly on the river
bank. The loss falls pretty heavy ON the
Couty boys as they had no insurance.

Tenth Senatorial District, as Democrats,
Is to quit this pickering, put on our fight
ing clothes TO annihilate, politically, the
enemy He's right in the door in the
person of Hon. Chas. Blandford and Mr..
Elisha Ashcraft. We want to fight one
as hard as the other, because Democratic
nominees are their opponents, and how
any man can profess TO be Jeifersonian
Democrat and be luke-warm on the sub
iect is all past any womans coInprehen-
sion. The Republicans work as unit
and are as quiet as a statue. But watch
the sequel II the Democrats don't be up
and wide-awake in November.
A soft October wind was blowing gent
ly in at the open window last Wednes-
day afternoon, an October sun brought
message and freshness and beauty from
the world out side, when there came
cheerful voice at the door saying "I've
brought you something TO read and /
want you to read it aloud that we may
enjoy IL together" My old schoolmate
Mrs. Linda Moremen was the speaker
and as we sat, reading "John l.. Stod-
dard's Portfolio OF Photographs and
sketches OF the Fair from the Shawnee
News, great many happy combinations
OF circumstances came ',trooping up of
when We were girls together thirty years
ago and would meet to study, to read, to
sing or dance in each others home with
out care, free as birds. But 'all the
same" we are still young in heart and as
we perused the admirable series new
glimpse of this progressive world was be-
trayed as vivid and attractive as those
recollections OF the past. The folio is
instructive and interesting, the photos
themselves, an historic treasure. OF all
the silhouetts and sketches I've read of
the Fair the ideas of young Harry, of
Shawneetown, are the most far seeing
and conclusive He has written up and
printed out the most interesting features
in each building and each in many de-
partmeDts. His letters are laconic, but
not terse, not too volumnous like most
OF writer's on the subject. He remained
four weeks and adds 81 didn't see near

THE decision OF Judge McBeath in the
Gross Richardson contest need not
have been a surprise TO any one There
was nothing in the election law confer
ring jurisdiction lin the Circuit Court,
and the case was properly dismissed.
But Gen. Gross wishing to be fair, and
having all along coveted full investiga-
ton OF the matter did not care TO have il
thus summarily disposed Of He propos-
ed TO arbitrate, but Richardson's attor-
neys objected. All OF these propositions
from Gen. Gross and his friends have
certainly been sufficient TO allay any and
all suspicious OF collusion or fraud. II
will not be contended that irregularities
did not exist in the primary but they
were not 30 palpable AZ 10 have made
Gen. Gross nomination illegal lie got
IL fairly 80 said the Canvassing Board,
and that should have settled it. We
presume now that IL is settled. In as
much as Mr.. Richardson has openly de-
clared his intention 10 support the nomi-
nee, we infer that all is well and that
every Democrat in the district will do
the same thing.
