Giving 1t Up.

The Republicans of this county
have at last come to the conclusion
that Kulp will be defeated for Con
gress. Where he ever had any show
this time is puzzler to well-informed
Democrats, but the Republican poll
ticians seemed to think so until the
past Few days. They are now thor
oughly scared and they admit privately
that he will be defeated. They
know that Walsh will come to North
cumberland county with a majority OF
600 in Sullivan, 400 in Montour, and
from 1900 to 1900 in Columbia. To
exceed 1000 in this county they
know is impossible, SO sure defeat
awaits them. The last attempt will
be made to save Kulp on election
day by trading. There is no doubt
that an organized trade will be at
tempted in the coal region, but he is
doomed, despite it, and his defeat is
sure.-SmA6n,y Democrat

Made In a Hurry.
Record for Converting Growing Wheat into
Bread and Trees into Newspapers.

Our readers no doubt remember
the trial, some years ago, on one Of
the large wheat farms of South
Dakota, to determine the quickest
time in which growing wheat could
be cut, threshed, ground into -four,
and prepared for the table. 1t was
something less than an hour from the
starting of the reaper until the steam
ing hot biscuit were upon the table.
This was before the days of the quick
conversion of the standing trees into
paper. A similar test of the power
of invention has recently been made
in Austria-that Of determining in
how short a space of time living trees
could be converted into newsp apers
At Elsenthal, on April II, at 1885 in
the morning, three trees were sawed
down at 9:34 the wood had been
stripped of bark, cut up and convert
ed into pulp, became paper and pass
ed from the mill to the press, from
whence the first printed and folded
copy was issued at 10 o'clock, so
that in one hour and forty-fve min
utes trees had become newspapers.
The poetic declaration, "sermons in
stones," becomes an actual reality as
to trees, and made so by the wand of
the inventor.

The PHILADELPHIA BALLOTS,

The official ballot, as sent out by
the State Department, contains eleven
columns, one of them being the Nc
klnIey Citizens electoral ticket.
There is no reason why this column
should have gone on the ballot in any
column outside of Philadelphia, as it
is purely a local matter down there to
aid a faction in their local ticket.
But the Department certified it, and
1t has to 20 on the ballot in every
county in the state. The names OF
the electors are identical with those in
the Republican column.
On last Friday an application was
made to Judge Simonton, Of Dauphin
county, for an injunction to restrain
the Philadelphia County Commission
ers from printing the Mckinley Citi
zens ticket on the ballot. A prelimi-
nary order was made and the time of
hearing fixed for Tuesday afternoon
at two o'clock. This stopped the
printing of ballots in Philadelphia,
and to be on the safe side, the Com.
missloncrs Of this county telegraphed
to the State Department inquiring
whether they could go on printing the
ballots for this county. 1t was a seri-
GUS matter, for if the work was de
layed until Wednesday of this week,
1t would be simply impossible to get
the ballots ready on time. An answer
was received saying that the injunc-
ton appl ed only to Philadelphia.
TIE official ballot had been received,
the time for filing objection was past,
and there was nothing lett to do but
to print the ballot as it came from the
State Department, and the Commits.
sioners ordered the printing to pro
ceed, and the ballots for this county
are nearly ready for delivery. That
is how the Mckinley Citizens ticket
comes to be on the ballot. There is
too much tom-foolery about this ballot
business, and some changes in the law
are greatly needed

BLO0MSBURG BANKING GO,

Last week Thursday morning at
nine o'clock, notice was posted on
the door of the Blhomsbug Banking
Company to the effect that as they
were unable to realize on their assets
they were compelled to close their
doors, and that depositors would be
paid in full. The day before there
were rumors ahoat that the bank was
financially embarrassed, and some de-
positors who heard it drew their money
out, but there was no general run.
The embarrassment was caused by
the fact that some large notes due at
the bank were not paid, and when the
other banks presented their exchanges
and several large checks came in,
there was not enough money to pay all,
and so the only thing to do was to
suspend. Money deposited after noon
on that day has been refunded 10 the
depositors.
1t is generally believed that the
bank is perfectly solvent, and will be
able to pay all their liabilities in full.
In the next ninety days all their dis
counts will come due, and if they are
paid the bank will be able soon to
pay out the money. If they are de-
layed in the collection of these notes,
it will take longer time for them to
get matters adjusted.

large bag of salt against the door Of
the safe to lessen the shock. The
door was blown off and the salt scat
tered in all directions. No one was
living over the store room. The
thieves secured $475 in cash and $sc

FUNNY ELECTION BET.
Loser Must Ride Donkey from
New York to San Francisco.
Both VIII Wear spectscIes and Cau Upon
the Victorious and Defeated Candi-
dates-Regrets Now Having Made
the Foolish Wager.

OF all the election bets of the season,
perhaps the most extraordinary has
just come to light, in spite of the pre-
cautions taken by the parties thereto
to preserve the secret. In order to pre-
serve his honor and carry out the condi-
tons of the bet, he so rashly contracted
with Benjamin Tillard, publisher of
New York, a modest and dignified
young society man of Brooklyn must
ride donkey from New York to San
Francisco.
1t was only by accident that the
news has finally got into print. Robert
p. Woodward is the unfortunate man,
and deeply mortified he is, realizing IS
he now does the rare amusement he is
to afford his friends and the public in
general.
When asked if the report Wee true,
MIR. Woodward's surprise was too gen
uine to admit of its denial.
YES" said he, II bet on the silver
candidate and lost, and as Mr.. Tillard
would surely have made good his wager,
] shall do no less than carry out my part
to the letter"
When do you start on your journey2"
Immediately after Thanksgiving"
Mr.. Woodward replied. 1T is hard to
have to do such an absurd, disagree
able thing, but | have purchased my
donkey and made my will, and 1 shall
go. think if am so lucky as to reach
the coast, shall go right on round the
world-but not on a donkey. 1 don't
care to show my face, in Brooklyn for
some years to come"
1T is not the overland trip that is SO
shocking to them and to me-" he con-
tinued, "but-but the conditions. You
see. | must parade on my donkey GER
tain popular thoroughfares in New
York city before starting. No, 1 de-
cline to name the streets. don't want
to see Il familiar face ON that occasion.
Both my steed and myself must wear
spectacles and l a frock coat and silk
hat, and on my transcontinental trip I
must visit both the victorious and the
defeated candidate. must start within
one month after election day."
And Mr.. Wocfward's countenance de-
picted utter disgust as the reporter de-
parted.
Mr.. Tillard was found in his office in
New York and on learning that his CO.
better had explained the terms of the
bet, said it was all true. He would give
no further information.

KILLS A WHITE DEER.
Exceptional Luck of an Ohio Hunter in
Maine.

Exceptional Luck of an Ohio Hunter In
Maine.
Elijah Lukins, of Wilmington, o., a
member of hunting party that has
just returned from Maine, enjoys the
distinction Of having killed a white
deer. This species is exceedingly rare,
for in all the history of deer hunting
there has never been but three preyi-
ously killed in that state, one in Mich
igan in 1910, and one was seen along the
Ohio river, which is believed to have
been afterward killed in Wisconsin.
Luleins is justly proud of his good for
tune, and brought the skin home and
had the head and hide mounted.
He refused an offer of $50 for the skin
alone. Atithe time he shot it he was
ignorant of the species of animal it
was. He saw it coming up brook near
Rock mountain. 1t came within so
yards Of him and stopped with its head
down, he shooting it back of the shout

within the last few days, and is on exhi-

oHIo'S ENORMOUS GRAPE YIELD
Nearly Million Baskets Gathered, Yet
No One Made Money.

No One Made Money.
The yield of grapes in Ohio this sea-
son has been the heaviest ever known
and yet growers, shippers and handlers
as a rule have lost money. The excep-
tionally large crop and the quality of
the grapes, which was generally below
the average of former years, made the
price very low-about one-half what it
was a year ago.
With the exception of the Catawbas
the quality this year has been poor.
The Concords were too ripe and they
had too much rain. The Delawares and
Niagara varieties were also compare
lively poor. The Catawbas, on the other
hand, were better than usual The
yield of the latter was also good and
about 200, 900 baskets were shipped from
Cleveland and tributary towns.
In the northern Ohio grape belt from
Avon to Unionville the shipments were
about 3,760, 900 baskets. Counting the
local consumption of this belt with the
amount manufactured into wine, the
yield will reach over 5000, 900 baskets.
The great abundance and the low price
caused many growers as well as the
regular manufacturers to make more
native grape wine than for several
years. The amount of wine made and
the number of grapes used can only be
roughly estimated, but prominent
grower put the amount at near /, 000, 900
baskets.
