HOW BUSINESS DEPRECATED.
A Showing of Democratic Maladministra
ton That Beats All Records.


The total bank clearings of the coun-
try from April /, 1898, to March 81,
1894, showed a loss in the volume Of
trade in the United States as reported at
Do different cities amounting to more
than $1S, 500, 900, 900 in money. Inves-
tigating this same interesting subject
during the second year of the present
administration, we find that from April
to June 80 the bank clearings at the
same 80 different cities have been even
less than they were during the same
three months Of 1898. And comparing
these three months Of the present and
two preceding years we have the follow

Deafness Cannot 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 inhamed
condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation 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 inhamed condition of
tie mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Preacher in Trouble.

Rev. Jacob X. Gearinger, who,
until within few weeks ago, was
pastor Of the Nagle Street Church of
God in South Harrisburg, is in Jail
at Chambersburg charged with rape.
The father Of Annie J. Miller, of
Conoy street, is the prosecutor. 1t is
alleged in the information made before
a ChambersDurg magistrate that the
crime was committed in that town.
August ii, while Miss Miller, who is
but fifteen years old, was visiting
relatives there.
The recent arrest Of Gearinger at
the residence of John Railing, on
Hanna street, Harrisburg, created a
sensation in the southern section of
the city and was still the topic of
conversat ion last evening. Gearinger
was popular among the members of
the little Church Of God who looked
upon him as being a man of excellent
parts. He had not taken full course
in the institution at which he had
been preparing himself for the ministry,
but it is said the eldership needed
his services at this church and he was
prevailed upon to come. He grew in
favor with his Pensioners.
Gearinger was entertaining and
eloquent in the pulpit and during his
pastorate much interest was taken in
the affairs of the church. There were
missionary meetings without number
and the Sunday school grew numeric-
ally. The girl who is alleged to have
been Gearingers victim was converted
during his pastorate, but subse quently
joined another church of the same
denomination in the city.
Gearinger was taken to Chambers.

Secretary Edge of the State Board
Of Agriculture is after fertilizer agents

Secretary Edge of the State Board
of Agriculture is after fertilizer agents
who are not complying with the law.
The other day he issued the following
circular: "The attention of agents
and others offering or selling CONNER
cial fertilizers is hereby called to the
fact that they as well as the manufact,
urer, are personally responsible for a
heavy penalty, one-half of which goes
to the informer, if the fertilizer offered
have not been branded in accordance
with law; or if they are found not to
be up to the guaranteed analysis.
Some manufacturers have become
careless about renewing their license
promptly on the first of August of
each year; any agent handling the
fertilizers of such manufacturers is
liable to full penalty prescribed by
law. 1t is the duty of the agent, if he
desires to protect himself, to know
that the fertilizers which he sells are
licensed according to law"

1t is announced that a trial of more
than usualinterest will come up at the
present term of criminal court in
Delaware county because of the wide
acquaintanceship of the party. 1t will
be remembered that Prof. Swithin C.
Shortlidge, of the Academy at Media,
most cruelty murdered his wife in
December last while walking together
on the public streets OF Media. At
the time of committing the deed he
was sick and was pronounced insane.
Since then he has been confined in
the Norristown Asylum. But notwith-
standing this fact a former grand
jury returned true bills against him
for murder. The family OF Mrs. Short
lidge are determined to convict him if
possible. His mental condition shows
marked improvement since his incar-
ceration. Expert testimony will be
adduced both pro and con and it will
be contest between scientists

A Boy Bandit.

The following illustrates the vicious
effect OF cheap literature upon aspir-
ing youth.
MOUNT STERLING, ILL.,, Sept. a.
This place, the county seat Of Brown
County, was the scene of sensational
bank hold-up at 1920 this morning,
Ralph Conklin, an eighteen ,year. old
youth, being the robber. Conklin is
native Of Brown County, his parents
residing a mile and half northeast
Of Mount Sterling, and he has been
given to poring over such literature
as the " Life Of Jesse James, &c.
The young fellow left home this
morning with an old fashion, muzzle-
loading, double -barrelled shotgun and
made for Mount Sterling. On his way
he met Mace Dunbar riding horse
back. Levelling his gun at Dunbar hel
compelled him to dismount, and then
got on TIE horse himself and rode into
Mount Sterling.
Riding to the rear of the Bloom
field Skiles Bank, Conklin dismounted,
and, leaving boy to hold his horse,
donned a mask, entered the bank by
a rear door and ordered the cashier,
]. d. Milestead, to put up his hands.
Milestead refused at first, saying
"What are you doing What's the
matter with you ?"
"Hold up your hands or I'll show
you what's the matter" retorted
Conklin, drawing bead on the cash
ier.
AT this Milestead ran out through
the tear door. Conklin lost no time,
and in few minutes had gathered
up all the money in sight, $4I1.
Ed. Allison, who was in the bank,
had in the mean time run out into
the street and given the alarm.
After pocketing the money Conklin
went out through the rear door, and
was just mounting his horse when
Alf Snodgrass, the constable, ran up
and grabbed him. Conklin jerked
away and ran down the street in the
direction of the courthouse. Jack
Nightswonder tried to intercept him
and Conkln fired on him, the shot
passing through Nightswonder's coat,
but doing no bodily injury.
BY this time Conklin was being fol-
lowed by a crowd of citizens. Reach
ing the courthouse, Conklin tried to
seize horse and cart, but he was
knocked off by brick thrown by one
OF the farmers.
A few blocks north of the court
house Conklin was confronted by
Jules Cox, armed with gun, and
compelled to surrender. The mask
was torn from his face, and his identity
was learned then for the first time.
All Of the stolen money was still on
his person.
The bank is on the most prominent
corner in the city, directly under the
new Bloomfield Hotel, and the robber
had to pass through the hotel and
through Ricker's drug store in order
to get into the bank.
In jail Conklin said that four men
came to his house Sunday night and,
drawing their pistols, made him prom.
ise that he would rob the bank this
morning. He said that if given his
liberty he would give the names of
the men. No one takes any stock in
this story.

A HANDSOME PAIR.

The Czarina of all the Russias is
pretty as picture if the newspaper
cuts don't flatter her, and the Czar
himself strongly favors Grant in his
boyhood days. 1t is much to be hoped
that the subjects of this newly wed.
ded and highly elevated and respected
pair may find much less occasion for
terrorizing their lives than they had OF
thought they had in the case of the
recently deceased and buried Alexan-
der III. No doubt higher order Of
civilization and christianization is
quite possible with the anarchist Rus.
sian subject. Where cruelty and
stringent government fails we think
the more merciful conditions of sim
pie Democratic government a con-
summation devoutly to be sought.
The freedom of the press, unknown
to Russia, we rather apprehend would
be the greatest blessing that could be
fall both the rulers and the covering
subjects of this cold region.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 80, 1894.
CONGRESS-.

Congress will assemble again next
week. 1t is not likely that much
more than an organization and the
arrangement Of committees will be
effected before the usual holiday ad-
journment. AS at present constitut-
ed there is but little likelihood of
sufficient harmony between the execu-
tive and the legislative branches OF
the government to warrant the con-
lecture that the expiring Congress
will do much of anything either on
the tariff or financial issues over
which so much discordant feeling ex-
listed previous to election. 1t is init
mated, however, that some action
may be attempted upon the supple
mental tariff-bills looking toward free
raw material. If there are not some
sarcastic farewell criticisms before
final adjournment we shall miss our
guess about it.

The Five Per Cent. Bonds.

In the matter of disposing of the S
per cent. :. bonds there was not the
least trouble about it. The chances
are that bonds bearing lower rate of
interest would also have been taken.
Hundreds of proposals were made
and letters received from capitalists in
the hope of patriotically helping the
government, Of course. individuals
wanted them and syndicates con-
spired and combined for them through
love Of country and the root of evil
In fact, considering that the interest
is payable in coin, we wouldn't mind
shouldering million or two ourselves
Of course it would be somewhat more
satisfactory if it were plainly stipulated
that the accrued interest was payable
in gold coin, as under the terms o.
agreement they might run in lot O
cheap silver on fellow. At present
writing it looks as though Drexel, Nor
gan & Co. in combination with syn
dicate would gobble all the bonds the
government now offers. Twas ever
thus,
