IT is conceded that ex-Speaker
Thomas Il. Reed, of Maine, will be
chosen Speaker of the House in the
coming Congress. As there will be
two hundred and forty-four Republi-
can members TO be provided for and
assigned to committees that will be
satisfactory to them, it will be seen at
glance that Mr.. Reed has very
troublesome, and possibly a perilous
duty TO commence with. There are
about a hundred Republican Represen-
tatives who were reelected, and each
of those, 10y virtue of former service,
will claim the craftsmanship of a COM
mittee. Then there are over one hun
dred and fifty new members who have
! had no experience in legislation to he
satisfactorily assigned to committees
Among the older members, (older in
| length of service there will be a strug-
gle for the chairmanships of the prom
inent committees, AND this may give
rise TO serious complications and hts.Trtt :
burnings that may seriously affect the
chances of Mr.. Reed for the Presiden-
tial nomination for which he is prom
inent candidate. He has had, how
ever, considerable experience in deal
ing with matters of this kind, is
proverbially shrewd, aud will have an
eye wide open on his future political
, prospects. He will also, during the
session, have TO run the gauntlet
through the friends of the other Presi-
dental candidates in the House. Al
together, Mr.. Reed has not been IN
vited 10 bed of roses.

EDWARD HOOVER, Sheriff.
A Bedford County Robbery.

\ special dispatch from Bedford to the
Altoona Tribune says:
''On Wednesday night the house of DIR.
Davis, of Six Mile Run, this county. was
entered by unknown parties, who. after a
short search. opened the trunk belong
ing to the Doctor. which was standing in
his room, taking therefrom the sum of
$500 belonging to the School Board, of
which the Doctor was Treasurer; also
some private funds, which had been
placed there for safe keeping.
"A queer complication arises, mas
much as Doctor Davis bond had never
been accepted by the School Board.
Therefore, the Directors are equally
responsible for the sum, which included
AN appropriation received from the State
a few days ago of s, ,200, which DIR. Davis,
his bond unapproved, was not authorized
To receive, and which the School Board
is at fault for allowing to be placed in his
hands,"

the Convention will be he'd about the

San Francisco, Chicago and Pittsburg

places and each CT these cities will
doubtless put forth its best efforts to
secure the prize.

But even when the weather is not tenn
pestuous he is liable to sickness. They
who traverse the gigantic wetness''
should be provided with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which quiets disorder
ed stomachs with gratifying speed and
certainty. To the hurtfnl influence of a
tropical malarious or too rigorous or damp
climate, as well as TO the baneful effects
of unwholesome diet and bad water. il is
reliable antidOte. Commercial travel
ers by sea or land, mariners, muers
western pioneers, and all who have to
encounter vicissitudes of climate and
temperature, concur in pronouncing it
the best safeguard. Ii prevents rheuma-
tism and pulmonary attacks in eonse-
quence of damp and cold. and il is an ef-
ficient defense against all forms of maIa-
ria. 1t can be depended upon in dyspep-
sia, liver and kidney trouble.
