Honor whom sIon.ris Duc.


The temperance crusade is over,
and too much praise and thanks can
not be given TO the ministers who
fought so hard in behalf of local
option. Our people will ever hold
them in grateful remembrance, and
we would especially commend and
praise the noble. untiring efforts Of
Mr.. William T. Bundick, of Oman
cock, who stood shoulder to shoulder
in the hottest of the fight with the
ministers of our county-pouring
forth in his natural, eloquent and
earnest style the words OF truth and
soberness. Such appeals have rarely
been heard in behalf of Temperance
from which speeches great good must
ultimately result.

THE CONVICT PROBLEM.

1t Can BE Solved by Employing Prisoners
In Road Construction.
The convict labor question is a very
knotty problem that is still waiting for
solution.
1t knocks at the door of nearly every
state capital, during each session of the
legislature, but is usually turned away
with a promise of more consideration
at some future time.
The good roads problem is also a ques-
ton of importance in the land. In some
localities one of these problems is per-
mitted to solve the other. Two birds
arc killed with one stone.
That the present mode of employing
convicts is very unsatisfactory is proved
by the unsettled condition of the ques-
ton in nearly every state where it is
done. The following is from a recent
issue of the Dayton TO- Herald:
The Ohio penitentiary seems to suffer
from the general business depression. The
annual report Of the board of managers
shows that in 1898 the surplus of earnings
over expenses was s31 ,079; in 1884, the de-
felt Of earnings was s., 49, and in 1895 the
deficit of earnings was So, 46I %. The board
ascribes several reasons for this change
OF about SS6,600, among them the passage
OF a law requiring the branding of all
prison-made goods, and the passage of the
Llewellyn law, restricting the number Of
laborers engaged IN making any one kind
or goods in the penal and reformato in
situations of the state to ten per cent. OF
the free labor employed in making like
goods in the state. These have led, as the
board claims, to a Generalization of the
contract system. 1t recommends the re-
peal of the last-named law, the first hav-
ing been declared unconstitutional or if
this cannot be done, then that the limit
fixed by the Llewellyn law be raised to at
least % per cent The situation is one of
great interest, and will probably lead to
further agitation of the difficult questions
OF employment of convict labor.
In this connection it may be said that
whether or not the penitentiaries are
self-supporting has nothing to do with
the case.
The more money the conyicts make
for the state under the Ohio system, the
more free labor is deprived of. Thriv-
ing penitentiaries are not the most
hopeful of signs.
1t would be even better to tax free
labor to support idle convicts than to
have the convicts rob free labor of it's
means of support.
At the present time the work OF max
ing magnificent systems of highways
appears to offer the best means of en-
ploying many of the convicts. They
should not be permitted to compete
with free labor in the manufactures.
Roads should be made better.
When, oh, when, will the immemorial
moss-gatherers known as legislators
awake to the needs of the hour FL. A.

The pleasure drivers of township
in Huntington county have made it a
rule for the past two years to present a
visors of the townships for keeping the
roads in good repair. Mr.. Allison
and his successor, Thaddeus S. Jackson,
have each been the recipient of gold
watches and chains. This is a new
thing for public road supervisors, but a
very common thing for railroad section
supervisors to receive a prize every
year for the best sections of road beds
in each division of the Pennsylvania
railroad. This action on the part of
the officials make it an incentive for
good work and good roads beds.-Media

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Some growers advocate mulching
with strong manure pear and peach
trees, the mulch to extend out as far as
the limbs extend.
To keep off the mice and rabbits
rub on axle grease lightly for two feet
from the ground. Keep all loose bark
rubbed off the trees, for under these
scales is where insects like to hide.
AS we approach the northern limits
OF the apple belt. the number of varie-
ties that can endure the climate rapidly
diminishes. Obviously then, the num-
Der of varieties of first quality that may
be grown on the northern confines of
the apple region must be comparatively
very small.
The apple leaf crumpler is an orchard
insect of peculiar economic importance,
because it winters on the tree not more
than half grown and attacks the young
leaves as fast as they put forth in
spring. 1t thus does vastly greater
mischief than it could little later in
the season.-Farmers' Voice.

intervals. Wagon wheels would run
easily on fat rails eight or ten inches
wide, with fanges ON either side to pre-
vent the wheels slipping off. Except
upon main travelled roads the cost might
be pretty heavy, but there would be al
most no limit to the loads that could be
drawn upon such a track. Bicyclists
could easily use it. The appearance
might not quite equal that of a good,
well-crowned macadam road, but the
idea is worth considering, especially in
regions where macadam stone is scarce.
One beauty of the steel track is that
wagons with narrow tires could safely
use it. Macadam necessitates broad
tire law, which causes some opposition.
How true it is that there's nothing
new under the sun! Here we are again
back at the old plank road idea. A steel
plank running lengthwise instead of a
wooden one crosswise; that's all the diff
ference.
And in the west, the last few years
have seen the temperance of the prai-
rie schooner and the freight wagon.

B. E. Fernow. in an article in the In.

ously increasing revenue. Under con-
servative management the annual cut
is 100000 cubic feet of wood, and the
net income from the sale is, in round
numbers, SIS, 900 a year, or $3.50 an
acre year, which is good return from
soil unfit for agriculture. Formerly
the district was without good roads,
but in 1875 the forest manager per-
suaded the city fathers to appropriate
enough money to construct a frst-class
road system, which was gradually COM
pleted. In 1891 $4,000 had been spent
ON roads, and I41 miles of these roads
were in good order. The manager kept
an account of the influence of this i'm
provement on the profits and cost of
his forestry operations, and he was
able to show that the annual cost of log
cling had been reduced by S2,450, the
cost of hauling by $3.50. and the result
of the sales due to the fact that much
formerly unstable material could now
be disposed of and all could be trans
ported more conveniently was increased
by 1926, being a net increase of ss,255,
or nearly 80 per cent. Of the amount in
vested in road Improvements. On one
road which was macadamized and main
tanned for a year at cost of 81 40 an
instructive comparison was made be.
tween the cost of hauling 47O, 900 cubic
feet of wood over the old and over the
new roads. On the old road 4,273 loads
were required of ITO cubic feet each,
and costing $500, or amounting in to-
tai to SIS, 2s2.S0. On the new road the
same quantity was moved in 1859 loads
of 1T cubic feet each, and the cost, at
the same price load, was S9,547.2O,
which means that the saving in haulage
alone was s5,735, or IS per cent. of the
cost of the road in one year.

The Cost of Bogus Butter.

We have often been asked what prof
its the dealers realized on the sale of
oleomargarine, but no definite or posi-
tive reply could be given for the very
reason that it has been difficult to get
at the facts from the manufacturers.
Dairy Commissioner Van Valkenburg.
of New York, has been looking into this
matter, and he gives the following
formula, together with cost: Twenty
four pounds of leaf lard, 81 pounds of
oleo oil, II pounds of cottonseed oil,
9 pounds of salt, is pounds of milk.
This will make 100 pounds of cleo,
which costs S5.91, and WHOLESALERS at
from 16 to 20 cents per pound.-Farm-

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inf1amed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out

KNOW THYSELF.
Science Helps You to Be Your
Own Doctor.
Ihe story or . Woman Who Kept Posted
ON tho Work of Science and Saved
Her Own Life.
From the Era, Bradford. Pa.

Too few people are acquainted with the
rapid advance of medical science. and toe
many doctors are still plodding in the old
paths. Once it comes to pass that people
know themselves, that ali physicians are
abreast of the worlds knowledge, much OF
our suffering will come TO an end. Medic
al scientists are not deiving into the depths
OF knowledge for the mere benefit of brother
physicians, but for the benefit of the
world. They place in the hands of the well
man means of keeping well, in the hands
Of the sick q means of recovery. To the
parent they give the power of saving the
child. Science is working for you-will you
accept the proffered help!
Mrs. George Rowend, an estimable lady
who resides at No. 216 East Main Street,
has cause to feel grateful toward the
science of medicine.
One day recently, a reporter, learning that
Mrs. Rowend had been greatly benefited by
the use Of new medicine, interviewed her.
She stated that she had been suffering with
female trouble for many years. She had
been doctored for the ailment for long
ume-in fact, nearly all her life-and had
never received anything more than tempo
rary relief. During the last three years her
condition grew worse and was aggravated
by an affection of the heart. Her health was
so poor that she found it almost impossible
10 perform her household duties.
''I never believed in proprietary medi-
cines." said Mrs. Rowend ssbut one day last
fall read an article in newspaper which
told of the cures effected by Dr. Williams
Pink Pills, and decided to try the medi-
cine. Before had taken the contents Of
one box began to feel better. The depress-
ing weakness which had bothered me for so
many years began to disappear, and the ac-
ton of the heart at once became stronger
and more regular.
II took nine boxes of the pills and I am
now feeling better than l have for several
years, and have unbounded faith in the
medicine
Mrs. Rowend Is steadily gaining in health
and strength and gives all the credit for her
restoration to health to DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from DIR. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y, for
20 cents per box, or six boxes for $3.50.

SUMMARY OF CONTESTS.
OF 1876 Claimants for Seats Rejected,
SIxty-Two Were for Mckinley.

OF 1856 Claimants for Seats Rejected,
SIxty-Two Were for Mckinley.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June L. An analysis
of the work of the national committee
in regard to the les contests which
were filed with it shows that 1876 cases
were acted on, some of the original
number having been abandoned. while
several, notably those of Delaware
and a portion of the Texas delegation,
were referred to the convention. In
many cases both contestants and con-
testees were Understood to be Mckin.
lev men, notably in all of the
Mississippi and South Carolina dis
tricts, and in certain districts from
Tennessee, Virginia and elsewhere.
OF the 136 claimants rejected by the
committee, slxty-two were avowed
Mckinley men. The impression
which prevailed during the consider
alton of these cases, that the COM
mi tee was deciding q large ma ority
of the cases in favor of Mckinley,
doubtless grew out of the fact that in
nearly all of the states where there
were a large number of contests, both
the contestants and contestees were
avowed Mckinley men, and, as q
natural and necessary result, more
Mckinley men were seated than were
anti Mckinley men, since in SO many
of the cases contestants and con-
testees were, according to their own
statements, Mckinley men.

of Mr.. Stanley. When the African trav-

used often, from want of fiat surface,
to spread his maps and charts upon
the floor, and one day the cat OF the
house, which had taken an extraordinary
liking for the great explorer and passed
most of her time in his rooms, went
to sleep on chart that was spread out
on the hearth rug. BY and by the
chart was wanted, and one of Stanley's
assistants was going to turn puss on
it when 1.-The man who found Living

the chart till she wakes up. II you
only knew how good the sight of that

of comfortable security, peace and OF
