BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITERs

Who infest the market and are the
means of robbing sick people of their
money, and what is of still greater con-
sequence of not unfrequently aggravat-
ing the complaints under which they
labor. 1t is an act of duty we owe to
society to warn the people against these
dangerous frauds. A little care on the
part of the purchaser will protect them
from imposition by bearing in mind these
facts: Never buy where it is offered in
bulk lin kegs of jugs as the genuine
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are sold only
in bottles having the handsome steel plate
label displaying the combat between st.
George and the dragon, and hoving at the
bottom a miniature not of hand for 1 cent.
bearing a facsimile of the signature of
the president of the comapny. Over the
cork is a metallic cap on which is i'm
pressed the name of the article together
with q medallion head in the center. Any
person selling the counterfeit Hostetter's
Bitters we will not hesitate to bring to
justice as we never fail to convict.

GENERAL GRANTS WAY.

Col. John s. Mosby says that Secre-
tary Stanton ordered the paroling of all
Confederates in Virginia on the same
terms given to General Lee, excepting
the guerrilla chief, Mosby." The day
this order was received by General
Hancock, General Grant ordered him to
give Mosby the same terms with the
rest and it was done.

a large and well known firm of bankers

in Georgia and other Atlantic States,
are renting all the available warehouses
in New York and it is rumored that a

A CITY POINT "REMINISCENCES
How an Indiana Squad Got Into tn,
Guard House and Out Again.

Soldiers who were encamped around
City Point in the fall of 1862 will re-
member the handsome little frame cot
tage, with the large grounds surrounded
by picket fence, which was situated
near the river and short distance below
the town. Some person of distinction
evidently had that as his home, for the
orders against foraging on the premises
were strictly enforced by the command
ing officer having jurisdiction over the
neighborhood. The latest pigs and
the plumpest turkeys and chickens
roamed with perfect freedom and safety,
seemingly aware of the fact that the
Yankee soldiers would not dare to dis.

LoCKPORT, n. Y, Oct 15.-The disposi
tion of 1000 acres Of land near Marinus,
Fla, hinges on the outcome of suit to
determine whether Rastus G. Gage for
merly well known business man of Mid
dleport, this state, unlawfully welded two
women. The land in question was the
property of Miss Elizabeth Hawkins, whom
Gage married in Florida in 1876 She died
in 1898 and there being no children, Gage
inherited the land Robert 6. Hawkins,
a brother of'the dead woman contests this
disposition of the property on the ground
that the marriage of Gage to Elizabeth
Hawkins was null and void it being al
legged that Gage had married a Jane Rey-
nolds at Middleport in the COS, and that
she was alive at the time of the second
marriage. Evidence will be taken tomor-
row at Middleport.

that all danger of a strike in the Clear6eld

present, but the agitation for an advance
will be resumed later on. The convention
at Clearfeld this afternoon will be well
attended by representatives from the cen

among the Clearield and Beach Creek

Recommendation for Better Water
Supply In Public Meeting.
Special to EVENING HERALD
ASHLAND, oct. 15.-Thc citizens Of this
town held large meeting in the Metropolitan
Rink last night for the purpose of discussing
the water question and expressing pre-
ference as to the best method for procuring
an adequate supply. The discussions were
earnest, but good feeling prevailed through
out the meeting.
McIIenry Wilhelm, Esq, called the meet
ing to order and DR.. c. s. w. Schomo was
made permanent chairman, The latter gem
tleman spoke in favor of the storage system
and his sentiments were conceded by Mr.
Wilhelm, who made a strong speech EX-
County Solicitor Minogue also spoke but de-
voted his time chiefly to finding fault with
the Borough Council and intimated that he
was in favor of Lexow investigating com
mittee J. Harry James, Esq defended the
Borough Council and favored the storage
system.
A vote of the audience was taken and it
was in favor Of the storage system and in
crcasing the capacity of the dams.
The water committee, known as the citi-
zens' committee of nine, will report to-
morrow. 1t is believed they will favor
storage. There is an impression that the
committee will favor the purchasing of the
lIaupt dam at Frackvile At all events
they will favor storage. 1t is also said they
will favor horizontal boring and the purchase
of the Haupt dam. The opposition favor a
system of perpendicular bore holes
Many of the people believe the town has a
sufficient supply if it is properly husbanded.
They claim the great fault lies in
leaks and waste. They are opposed to
the beer pumps being used when the water
is scarce One gallon of water is used for
every glass Of beer pumped, This has been
demonstrated both in Shamokin and Ashland.
1t is claimed these pumps ought to be turned
off as well as the motors when the supply is
short.

Malcy, the jeweler for silvcrware, watcf
and iewelry, 16 North Main street.


A case of diphtheria reported to the Board
of Health has revived discussion of the
necessity for strict observance of the Board S
rules regardless of any legal penalty that
may be incurred by violation. The Board
seems satisfied that the case arose through
visits to the house of victim of the disease
As to a question of lapse of time between
such visits and the development of the
disease case is recalled in which a child of
town contracted the disease from an old
satchel which had been thrown from house
in which diphtheria existed year previous.
The safest course to pursue is to avoid houses
where contagious diseases exist until the
crisis is past and the house has been properly
disinfected.
