THE GREAT VALLEY.

In this section the drought has been
more general than in either of the other
divisions, and, as a result, vegetation Is
more backward. In a few places local
showers have fallen and relieved the SIT
uat!on somewhat. but even these have
been insufficient for crop purposes, ana
the need for more is becoming imperative.
The dry weather Is affecting grass ana
pastures seriously and delaying farming
operations. The southern counties OF this
section are suffering the most. Wheat
has fallen off from its previous condition.
and is heading low, and is short In straw.
Corn is reported coming up quickly In
most localities. and is being cultivated.
Fruit Is holding its own.

COLORADO VOLUNTEERS.
They VIII March overland to Florid'
and Defy Interference.

They Will March overland to Florida
and Defy Interference.
Denver, Colo. Dee 14-It is claimed by
the leaders in the movement to send
troops from Colorado to fight for Cuban
independence that more than 1,0UO names
have already been enrolled. John Nc
Andrews, middle-of- the-road Populist
candidate for Attorney General at the re-
cent elections, has been chosen command
err with the title of colonel. In reference
to their plans, Mr. McAndrews said
The volunteers will not leave Denver
in small bodies and stealth as was ORR
ginally proposed Neither are they like
" to go to the Gulf coast on railroad
trains. Instead they will move overland.
Upon reaching Florida they will have
swelled to such a mighty host that the
United States army will not care or dare
to interfere with their embarkation for
Cuba"
Colonel McAndrews further asserted
that the interference with their plans
would, he believed, precipitate a revolu-
ton in this country.
THEIR EXECUTION POSTPONED.
Havana, Dec l4--Gen. WeyIer said
tonight that the crew of the Competitor
would not be executed tomorrow, and
that the trial Of their case would in fact
be continued for a long time yet.
Madrid, Dec. IA long story of the
circumstances attending the death OF
Antonio Maceo, by Zertucha, his physi-

saying: "Maceo always admired the bray
cry of the Spaniards, and had little liking
for Americans"
Madrid, Dec. 1.-THE newspapers of
this city confirm the statement cabled
exclusively to the Associated Press yes
terday that the Spanish Ministers at the
cabinet council, to be held tomorrow,
will postpone taxing any decision in re-
gard 10 the statements made by Presi-
Cleveland on the Cuban situation in his
recent message to Congress. The gov
eminent here will await the arrival by
mail OF the text of the Presidents mes

M'K1ssIcK FOR A MARSHAL.
To Assist at the guration-Specula-
ton as to Senatorial Outlook.

Washington, Dec. .-(speciaD-
There are several North Carolina men in
Washington now. Among them are III
Gudger and J, Wiley Shook, who are
candidates for the Internal Revenue
collectorsip of the Fifth District Mr..
Shook says that Messrs. Moody and
Smathers are also candidates for that
particular place. learn that 9. A. Rey-
nods, of Winston, the Lieutenant-Gov
ern-elect, will have n strong following
Congressman Bower, of the Eighth
Congressional district, has been here
for two or three weeks. When asked
about the fight for the Senatorship, he
said that he thought a free silver Repub
lican would be elected. He had no idea
whom Senator Butler favored, but he
thought that the Senator could never con-
sent to the reelection Of Pritchard under
existing circumstances. Mr.. Bower said
that ex-Congressman John NJ. Brewer,
who is mmeber of the Legislature from
Surry county, is q candidate, and that
Congressman Linney, of the Eighth dis
trict, has been much talked about in a
quiet way. He thought that Lieutenant
Governor-elect 9. A. Reynolds would be
selected by the Republicans to succeed
Linney, in case the latter were transfer
red to the Senate. He had no idea that
a Popuist or Democrat could be elect
ed to succeed Pritchard.
az am told, however" said Mr.. Brewer,
that n. Il. Broughton, of Raleigh
might, if nominated by the Democrats,
draw considerable strength from the Pop
ulsts and Republicans. There are good
reasons for this belief, and the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Broughton by the Democratic
caucus would, in my opinion, place our
people in a position to make such terms
with the opposition which might prove ex-
ceedingly valuable to the party in the
United States Senate and in the National
House of Representatives | think the
opposition to the Southern Railroad lease
will have something to do with the case,
and that the large class of people, parti-
cularly the Baptists and members of
the Junior Order Of American Mechanics,
who want to get their work against sec
tartan appropriations, will demand GER
tain assurances not heretofore insisted
on. In that case Mr.. Linney would have
a strong pull. If he were elected G. A.
Reynolds would be pushed by the same
influences for Linney's seat in Congress
from the the Eighth district"
'Do you think that you or Mr.. Dough
ton could beat ReynOldsY l asked.
THAT would depend on future develop
ments,' said Mr.. Bower.
1t was said to-day that =. z. McKis-
sick, of Battery Park Hotel, Asheville,
will be appointed assistant marshal on
the staff of General Porter, chief mar
shall Of the Inauguration ceremonies.
The Republican members OF the North
Carolina delegation have written General
Porter requesting McKissick's appoint
ment.

GET WELL AND STAY WELL
GET RID OF WHAT MAKES YOU
SICK ANO STAY RID OF 1T.

1t is so simple to be well that we won
der why there are so many sick people.
Come to think about it, must be because
they don't know what's made them sick.
If they knew that, they could prevent
it, and when they were sick in some cases
cure themselves. But, so long as we
don't take more care of our health, we
shall always be more or less sick =
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means; Don't tolerate indi-
gestion. Cure it with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. A stomach full of undigested,
fermented, putrid food is the unhealthiest
thing you can think of.
Half of our disease and troubles come
from the poisons OF undigested food.
More than half of them could be cured
with Shaker Digestive Cordial
More than half, because often when
we think we are sick, we are only weak,
and a course of nourishing food digested
without effort by the stomach with the
aid of Shaker Digestive Cordial, would
re-invigorate the system and make us
well.
A ten cent trial bottle will prove it.

We hear a great deal about
purifying the blood. The
way to purify it is to enrich
it. Blood is not a simple
fluid like water. 1t is made
up of minute bodies and
when these are deficient, the
blood lacks the life-giving
principle. SCOTS Emulsion is
not a mere blood purifier. 1t

boarders had jollifcation in the house and
partook freely of beer. Two Of the boarders,
Joe Strubashevsli and Simon Vanawicz late
in the day found Mrs. Lestuski in an isolated
part OF the house. They seized the woman
and knocked her down with the intention of
ravishing her, but her cries brought TO her
assistance another boarder named Victor
Puskawicz, who attacked the woman S
assailants with such vigor that he put them
to flight. Strubashevski caused the arrest Of
Puskawicz on a charge of assault and battery.
Mrs Lestuski appeared and told her side of
the story, whereupon Justice Toomey put
Strubashewski under arrest ON a charge of
assault with intent to Tvish. Vanawicz was
in the Office ready to testify in behalf of his
friend against Puskawicz, but, seeing the
turn affairs had taken, he slipped out Of the
Office and has not been found since. Puska-
wicz was put under $500 bail on the charge
against him and Strubasheyski was taken to

Policeman Tosh and Lee to-day on a charge
of burglary and committed to the Pottsville
Jail without bail. Shortly before o'clock
this morning Cussakawicz smashed a large
pane of glass in the front door of william
Novicki's shoe store on Centre street, just
east Of White street. He ran away after
committing the act, but hid in the vicinity
and upon finding that the noise of the
breaking glass had not attracted attention,
he returned to the store. After satisfying
himself that he was not being watched
Cussakawicz crawled through the opening
into the store. Policemen Tosh and Lee
were upon his heels and pulled him from
beneath counter. When first arrested
Cussakawicz laughingly told the police and
Justice Toomey that he went into the place
to steal, but at the hearing he claimed to have
been drunk and irresponsible.

THE BOARD oF HEALTH.
Proceedings at a Regular Monthly Meeting
Held Last Night,

He'd Last Nlght'
The Board Of Health held a regular
monthly meeting last night with the follow
ing members in attendance: Messrs Spald-
ing Miles, Morrison and McIIale.
The reports showed that since the last
meeting, held on May 22d, there were 81
deaths Of local residents. OF these died at
the Schuylkill Haven almshouse and at the
Miners hospital. Twelve of the deaths were
due to contagious diseases enumerated as
follows: Typhoid fever, 2 measles, l +;
membaneous Group, scarlet fever, l I;
diphtheria, 1.
DR.. Clifton Robbins appeared before the
Board to answer a complaint that child
named Lizzie Tobias had died on the 4th inst
Of membraneous Group and the doctor had
failed to report the case. Dr. Robbins said
the reason he made no report was that in his
teaching and reading on membraneous Group
he had learned that there were two kinds
the contagious and non-contagious, and the
case referred to being non-contagous he did
not consider that he was bound to report it,.
The law bearing upon the case was read
and a motion to excuse was adopted.
