At con- ference held by the Tioga state sman with , number ot party managers at the Fifth Avenue ho el 1t was practically agreed to accept the suggestion of Chairman Hack stt of the state committee and refuse here after as party organization tO hold itsolf responsible for tho acis of the mayor.
 Furthermore 1t was practically agreed that all legislation desired by tho mayor tho committee of sev, nty and the Good Government clubs shall he indefinitely hung up at least until thorough under standing is reached with the mayor, and that probably, should a oanyaS of the leg islature show majority for it, power of removal bill shall be passed enabling Gov ernor Morton to out of Democratic heads with us much facility as Mayor Strong is now doing it
 Incidentally, it may he observed, the adviSahility of pushing Governor Morton forward for the presidential nomination in 1896 was suggested, and should he stand hy the state organization in its bat tie with the mayor he wi be promised the support of the Empire State delegation to tho next national convention. should he cast his fort unes with the mayor. perhaps this prize may ho danind him

This was no sine cure, as Bill had killed scores of men in fair fight and never needed second shot in an encounter. During thu war ten desperadocS under the leadership of ono MvKandlas attacked him in q cabin in south Nebraska. and Bill killed every one of them single handed. During the fight he was stabbed in lS places and had II huck<hot in his body

To show how valuable this information is considered to be for the housekeeper. the last time we put this in print as an ad. it was copied by an out of town daily as reading matter. We say:
 For Cup of Delicious Tea" the Kettle must be filled with Fresh water and boiled quickly for about five minutes. There will be a sparkle from Tea made from fresh boiled water. that wiH not re- ceive from the hot watE< that has been boiled long and repeatedly. For moderate strength. it requires one tea spoon of good tea to half pint of boiling water. An ordinary teacup half full to & quart of " ter will make strong and in fusion for five persons. An earthen or china pot is the best vessel for drawing tea. Then put she tea in. allowing to heat for few minutes, adding the boiling water just ten minutes before it is wanted to be poured out.

So In this event the counter-charge
gained by the men is decided victory
for them and in the end an enormous
cost to the company. kilograms have
been received here from Kansas City
to men to come on. as business has
started up again, and it is said several
will leave right away; and as there is
nothing much doing here, it is perhaps
a proper move.
Jasper Fitzpatrick is home for few a
days visit from Flat River. Several
OF our Granitev1lle people are work

The ladies of the NJ. E. Church will
give a Coffee Supper Thanksgiving
evening. and it goes without saying
that everything will be in readiness
and taste on this occasion.
A series of meetings will be held at
Workman's Hall on each evening of
this week. Services will be under the
auspices Of the Presbyterian church
and conducted by Rev. George II.
Duty. All are cordially and urgently
requested to attend. The topic of
of work laid out for the week is ..in-
struction."
Rupert Smith has returned home
for visit to his parents here, and will
probably spend the winter in Granite
Vile.
Henry Rutschilling, our q. S. mail
carrier for this route, has, we under
stand, sold out to Walter Hale-horse,
wagon and contract; but as Uncle Sam
is mighty slow and not quick in APP
proving such changes. it is likely to
take some time to make the transfer.
Money consideration $85. We learn
that the contract price for this route
is $40 per year; trips a week; dis
lance q miles; time required 8 hours
each day. So with little figuring it
is readily seen there is money in this
Star route and is calculated to enable
the carrier to retire after having serv-
ed one term of four years, with q
handsome fortune.

heavily burdened with all sorts of ed

ton. Eighteen dollars in money and
groceries was presented to the Rev.

appreciated.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season. but perhaps more gen.
orally needed in the Spring, when the
languid exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
is felt. A prompt use of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will
act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion. Con-
stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. Only fifty cents per bottle at
