Judge Metzger, Eyeoming county, has
scored the aldermen and justices of that
county for sending trivial cases To the
grand jury. He said, in speaking of a
case where the parties were unable to
pay the costs: "The jury in this case
would have been justified in putting the
costs on the alderman, who probably did
not know that he could be mulcted
for costs. 1t is evident that an alder
man was behind the scene, and such al
dermen should be returned as prosecu-
tors. / suppose there is no alderman in
this county who is aware of the fact,
but they can know it now, and I want
the aldermen TO take notice that if they
choose to return cases to court every
time men or women scold a little, and
especially i'm cases where the parties can't
even pay the costs, but ompel the coun-
ty to be at the expense, they will likely
be returned as the prosecutors and pay
the costs"

When the Chill Mists Of the Morning

Hang like a pail over the surface of the
earth, it will be well for you before ven-
turing into the raw vaporous air, charged,
perhaps, with the seeds of malaria on
provocative of rheumatic twinges, to take
wineglassful of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, and thus shield yourself from
atmospheric influences threatening to
health. If you happen to get showed,
sleeted or rained upon, use the same pre-
ventive, and avoid the rheumatism or a
dangerous cold. The agreeable warmth
infused into the circulation by this genial
stomachic, its invigorating and regulating
properties commend it to all appreciative
of the fact that prevention is better than
cure. Use the Bitters for dyspepsia. bill
iousness, nervousness and kidney trouble,
sick headache and debility.

Look Out for This Swindle.

A slick fellow il working swindle in
nearby towns, and this is the way he
works: Entering a business place he will
beg the privilege of addressing an en-
velope at the desk, and will then ask il
he can be accommodated with n $40 bill
for small change, as he wishes To send
that amount i'm the letter. IL he gets the
bill he will carefully place it i'm an en-
velope, which he seals, aud then taking a
handful of change he lays it upon the
desk, thanks you politely for the favor
and starts leisurely out of the place
When the change is counted it il found
that it is p cents short, and of course the
stranger is hailed and acquainted with
the fact. He comes back, expresses sur
prise, says he just took it in for $40 at q
store around the corner and asks that il
be given him while he goes back and has
the mistake rectified, at the same time
taking the addressed envelope which sup
posedly contains the so bill, and handing
it to the other to keep until he returns.
He sweeps the 1915 into his hand, goes
out and does not return, and when the
dupe looks inside the envelope for the $40
bill, il has vanished also. The fellow has
two envelopes and thus deceives his
victim.

Yesterday was the prettiest election
day witnessed i'm this county in many
years past, and was in striking contrast
with election day one year ago, when
snow fell continuously and roads were
almost impossible on account of mud
and slush. In fact the atmosphere yes
terdsy was so balmy that hundreds of
voters remained at home and attended 10
their farm work rather than exercise the
right of franchise. But few more than
one-half Of the voters of Somerset town
ship visited the polls. Yesterdays elec-
ton was exceptional, too, in other res
poets than the beautiful weather. 1t is
the first election in the memory of the
oldest citizen that was not preceded by
a single pJblie meeting or stump speech.

When a person begins to grow thin
there is something wrong. The waste is
greater than the supply and it is only a
question of time when the end must
come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble is
with the digestive organs. If you can
restore them to a healthy condition you
will stop the waste, put on new flesh and
cause them to feel better in every way.
The food they eat will be digested and
appropriated TO the needs of the system,
and a normal appetite will appear.
Consumption frequently follows a vast
ing of bodily tissue because nearly all
consumptives have indigestion. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial will restore the
stomach to a healthy condition in vast
majority of cases. Get one of their books
from your druggist and learn about this
new and valuable remedy.

Last evening Mr.. Jacob Glessner and
Miss Lille NJ. Berkley were united in
marriage AT the home of the bride, who
is the youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joel Berkley. DR.. krener was the Off

of the nuptials a sumptuOus and elegant
dinner was served, about sixty invited
guests partaking.
After an Illness of twelve days, Franz
Nowag, one of the oldest citizens of Ber-
lin, passed peacefully away on Sunday
evening, Oct. q, at p. VI. The deceased
was born in Breslau, Prussia, August 81,
lSl6. and came to this country i'm ls49, To-
eating in Cumberland. Md. In the fall
of 1850 he moved TO Berlin and worked at
the tailoring trade for Joseph Heffiey &
Sons until 1875, at which time he went
west. After a sojourn of nine years he
returned to Berlin.
The patrons of the post office were con-
siderably surprised this week TO learn
that the present postmaster, Mr.. +. Ii.
Collins, had rendered his resignation and
that it had been accepted. Mr.. Collins
gives as his reason for resigning that his
other business interests prevented him
from giving his time to post office duties.
The resignation was rendered last week
and accepted the fore part of this week.
Capt. Heffiey has sent in a petition to be-
come Mr.. Collins successor. Mr.. Col
lins gave general satisfaction while he
had control of the Office and we believe
