1t is only three short years since
the democratic party was clamorine
10 have the republican law for the
purchase of silver and the issue of
silver certificates repealed, and they
prevailed on President Cleveland to
Call an extra session of Congress to
repeal the republican silver purchas
lug law. Now they have metaphor
speech making Bryan travelling
through the country shouting fo1 the
enactment OF law for the issue of as
much silver as the world can dump
INTO the mints Of the United States
for coinage.
Thomas Casner and family travel
ed from Michigan to Juniata county.
They arrived here in .Nifiintown on
the 9th of August, having been
three weeks on the road. They had
an Old fashioned outfit, two-horse
wagon with bow top covered with
canvass, IN which bedding, cooking
utensils, &c, were stored. To facil.
ltate the travelling, hs had horse
and road cart. Mrs. Casner and three
daughters accompanied him. They
expect to remain here about three
weeks and then return. Mr.. and
Mrs. Casner quarter of a century
ago, lived in Walker township.
1t is a wise thing for the Water Co.,
to place a reservoir on the hill north
west OF Patterson to insure strong
pressure for the whole plant in case
OF fire and to insure supply of wat
er for Patterson in case something
should happen TO the pipe on the riv-
er bridge. The company takes it for
granted that this side of the river is
safe from any mishap that may over
take the pipes on the river bridge by
frost Or food, but the truth is this
side Is constantly menanced by tho
same elements. At Lost Greek where
the pipe crosses the stream on the
old pike bridge, and if at anytime
frost or food interferes with the pipes
on the river bridge, the same inter
ference will in all probability be ex.
perienced at Lost Greek bridge.
Whatever defects the system reveals
will doubtless be corrected by the
company.
The past ten days were good for
bass fishing in the river. It was
found out that the fish were nosing
along the shore, and that caused fish
ers to cast their lines close to shore
in places where bass were least
expected. No enthusiastic fish story
teller has vsntured to tell of bsss bav-
ing been caught on the bank of tbs
stream, but stories are numerous Of
large strings of large fish that were
caught from shore On the slenderest
poles in water so shallow that the fish
were scarcely more than covered, and
that the women have been catching
bass IA numbers to beat the men.
Fishermen say they believe the long
dry weather has lowered the streams
SO that no fish food floats in the mid
die of the streams and The fish 90 to
the shore to feed on bugs and insects,
that get into the water from the
banks of the stream.
Harry Cssner and George Vernes,
both of Fermsnagh township, attend
ed festival ct White Hall school
house ia Fermanash township last
Saturday evening. On their way
homo noout midnight, they ran
against 8 asfety POST along the bank
opposite the Academy at the north of
town. If it had not been for the
post they would have gono over the
bank and landed somewhere in the
neighborhood of ex sheriff Mobiles
stone house On the bank of the canal.
BY contact with the post, the two
msn were thrown out, and their road
cart was wrecked and left hanging On
the substantial post, while the horse
ran on to Port Royal, and there met
bis fate on the railroad, which he at.
tempted to cross in front of a fast
running passenger train. The loco
motive struck and killed him. It is
reported that the young men were
indulging in a race on the road when
they encountered the post. Casner
had two fingers broken and was 9TH
erwise bruised and Varnes was SO
verely shaken up.
Apropos of Mr.. Cornelius Wander
bilt's disagreement with his son, and
the latter's marriage to woman very
much older than himself, tho editor
Of the Cosmopolitan in the Septem-
bsr issue, seriously discusses the ed
ucation most useful TO modern life,
and substantially, if not in words,
asks: "Does modern college educa-
ton educate!' The September Cos

azine can do. gives four complete
stories in this single number, by such
noted authors as Frances Courtenay
Baylor, Maurice Thompson, Gertrude
