The Garman State CONVENTION 1t
Harrisburg last week, shows how tho
democratic party has revolutionized
itself. Only four months ago . dem-
ocratic Stste convention met and Dc.
clared for . certain kind of political
action, which the Garmau State oon.
vention last week says is not correct.
Tho democrats will soon be q chang
able % the Nsxicans, who can scarce
ly call . convention to do q certain
work till it ia re called to do its work
over in a different way.
David Divsn, Jr.. aged about %
years, died at the home Of his father
in Walker township, last Friday
morning. It 10 sad ahliction, for
tho young man was full Of vigor and
energy, and . great help to his pa
rents in these days, when years of
life is discounting their fund Of vig-
or and energy. Last Saturday with
nsighbors he went to the wilds of
Licking Creek valley to bring cattle
home from the free pasture lands OF
that region for the winter. There
was rain that day and the party was
thoroughly wet. The wetting gave
him pneumonia and that disease
caused his death.
One Of the most distressing affiic-
tions overlook the family of Mr.. Viii
liam Rannals near MoAlisterville on
the afternoon of the 9Th inst. where
by Mrs. RanDals lost her life, and the
family loss kind mother and Mr..
Rsnnsls an afectionate and helpful
wife. They were making apple but
ter. Mr.. Rannals was called away
temporarily. During his absence
Mrs. Rannals had all the butter max
ing to attend to- Her clothing took
fire. There was no one present at
the time excepting children, who
could not help her in the awful hour
of her need, and before aid could be
obtained from nsighbors she was 80
burnt that she died within IL hours
after the calamity over took her. Mr..
Rannals has the sympathy of the en-
tire community.
The Senatorial Conference COM
posed of Juniata, Perry and Mifflin
counties again met to wrsstle with
the nomination question at the Ash
ton Hotel on Tuesday. On the 49th
ballot Hon. VIM Hertzler of Juniata
county was nom mated for State SEN
ate. It ia Q nomination that will give
satisfaction to Juniats county people
for the county is entitled to . repre-
sentation in the State Senate, and in
addition to the interest that centsrs
in Mr.. Hertzler. because he repre-
sents the political rights of the coun-
ty by the rotation process, he is the
nominee of the county by popular
vote, which should be satisfactory to
all party friends. There are few
men who desire to be caught posing
with a grievance because they failed
to receive a primary nomination, par
ticularly when the nominations are
made as in Juniata by apopular vote.
Those who do 50 are generally laugh
ed at for their immasined grievance.
Mr.. Hertzler won his nomination af.
ter a hard fight with people As met.
tlesome as himself, and now that he
has won the prize, there should be a
hearty support of him all along the
line. He will make an obliging and
hard working State Senator, and will
make his election without . doubt.
The ether morning at the dawn of
day Harrison Casner who lives along
tho Pike, q mile and . half east OF
this town, went to his pasture lot to
bring . couple of horses to his barn.
He IL An admirer Of dogs and had
three dogs with him. Suddenly tho
dogs set up furious barking up q
stump about 3 feet high. Of course
he naturally went to see what the
dogs had treed. Tho day was not
far enough advanced for him to toll
objects distinctly. He was amazsd
aud alarmed to see perched ON the
stump an animal with great large
eyes, and it growled, and he backed
away from the place, but the animal
did not come down. It was afraid
of the dogs, and he felt certain that
should it come the dogs would make
it warm for it, if they could not cap
ture the thing. He went to his corn
field and got long stiff pole that he
had in use as O marker when the corn
was planted. Armed with the pole,
he went to the stump and began to
punch the animal. It dreaded the
punching more than it did the dogs,
and leaped among the barking ami
mails, and then there was battle
that would have cheered the heart of
q prize fighter, but it wasn't long till
one of the dogs ran away yelping and
then another, and soon the third gave
up the fight and stood of barking,
and then for the first time Mr.. Cas-
ner saw what kind Of game had whip
ped his three dogs. It was large
coon. The gamsy animal shambled
off to large oak tree that stood not
far away, climbed it and disappeared
in the opening in the tree, 20 feet
