POLITICAL NOTES.


The 'old man" is not downed yet
Jobs majority would have been greater but
for some of his support
Mahanoy City and Pottsville are both
hotter on politics than our own Shenandoah.
Poor Sam Losch He was not satisfied
with one convention, but had to get up a
second edition of his own.
The hot weather has been too much for the
Pottsville Republican man. And all the dele
gates are for Quay, after his frantic howls and
promises to the Combine!
Laubach, of Luzerne, came here to try the
same methods of inducing" delegates that
were worked successfully in Hazleton, but it
was without any serious effect.
Tom Reese, of Centralia, with wad OF
bills i'm his fist was on the floor of the First
district convention to aid the Gilkeson
cause. And yet the virtuous combination
had but twelve apostles to follow them.
'Pottsville politicians, with tears in theii
eyes because they dare not vote for the man
of their choice - 1t was blood, not tears
but the Republican has been color-blind
| through it ALL and could not see the differ

months, and during their stay have done
considerable missionary work, about thirty
new members having been added to the roll

debts of the local corps and otherwise
strengthened their forces. The sermon last
evening was delivered for the benefit of the
public at large, and the one tonight will be
an address to the soldiers of the local Army
The public is also invited to attend. The

Mothers.

"One good mother is worth a hundred
schoomasters, said George Herbert. Men
are what their mothers make them. But if
the mothers are peevish and irritable, through
irregularities, female weakness" and
kindred ailments, they find no pleasure no
beauty in the care of their babes. All effort
is torture. Let all such, who feel weighed to
the earth with weaknesses peculiar to their
sex, try Dr. Pierce's Favortc Prescription.
They will find the little ones a delight instead
of a torment.
To those about to become mothers it is a
priceless boon. 1t lessons the pains and perils
of childbirth, shortens labor and promotes
the secretion of an abundance Of nourishment
for the child

Since 1873 there have been nine epidemics
of dysentary in different parts Of the coun-
try in which Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with per
feet success. Dyscntary, when epidemic is
almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic
cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of the
most skilled physicians have failed to check
its Iavages, this remedy, however, has cured
the most malignant cases, both Of children
and adults, and under the most trying con-
ditions. which proves it to be the best medi-
cine in the world for bowel complaints. For

 G. Gibson With the wnliAms Murder.
 SAN FRANCIsco. April s6-Rev. John George Gibson, pastor of tho Emanuel church, was. again on the witness stand ill the preliminary examination of Theodore Durant, charged with the murder of Min nie Williams. Tho defense believes it has D caso against tho clergyman and will try to show that he and not DurGnt killed both Miss Williams and Miss Lamont
 On the day preceding the finding of BlanCh LamoEt's body hor aunt, Mrs. No ble, received n paper containing the rings worn by the missing girl. On tho paper wore written tho names of George k. King and Professor Schernstoin, the apparent object boing to connect thcse men with tho girls disappearance. The experts de. claIo tho writing to be the disguised hand of Durant.
 In court counsel for tho dofense request ed Rev. Dr. Gibson to write the names of King and Schsrnstoin. Tho ministclktiid so but asked twice how to spell Sohsrn- stein's name Gibson was calm and col lectcd on the stand and was good wit ness. Nothing tangible against him was brought out by cross examination, and his testimony was concluded
 Alfred 0. McElroy testified that on Sat urday evening, the l2th, Inc observed a man resembling Durant waiting on the corner near the church. Soon young woman came along. The man approached her and shielded her with his shoulder from witness observation. Afterward witness noticed a light moving in tho church.
 This testimony was cOrrObnrated by Bert Miner. McElroy's companion. The examination was continued at tho request of the district attorney. Durant has se- cured n desk and an easy chair in his cell and spends his time in studying his notes for his medical examination.

 That is Gallantry," sneered his friend.
 "It comes nearer to being reciprocity. Every few days some man gives my wife or mother 0 seat in a crowded car, so l try to pass tho courtesy on. Only yes terday saw every man in a Gratiot avenue car give up his seat to some woman. Not one was thanked. or look ed as if he expected to be, or indeed gave the woman in the case chance to thank him.
