Winter Wheat Crop.

Up to Oct. 23rd ths acreage of
wheat planted east of the Rocky
Mountains was smaller than that
harvested this year. In some states
planting has continued but the
prospect is that the seeding this year
will not exceed a breadth any larger
than that harvested, and that is de-
cidedly less than the average for a
series of years. The situation of
that planted is phenomenally poor
Much of the sowing was delayed
waiting for rain, and finally when
sown in the dry and dusty earth the
seed has friled to sprout, and where
it has done so at all it is uneven and
dying out. The American Agricul-
turist says that never in the history
of winter wheat growing has the
prospect at this date been so poor,
and the possibility of growth suffi-
cient to carry the plant through even
an ordinary winter, is not encourag-
ing. Without good rains and a
month of growing weather this
country faces, if not certainty, at
least a strong probability, of the
greatest winter wheat failure in its
history.

ECHO OF THE RIOT.

The fact that eighty-three men
will he called for trial at one time
in Luzerne county on the charge of
murder is of national interest and
Importance, as it will establish a
precedent and define the duties and
powers of sheriffs The trial is set
for November 18th, and is the re-
suit of the wholesale slaughter of
striking miners at Hazelton by Sher-
iff Martin and his deputies, who are
named as defendants in the case.
On account of the feeling in the
county change of venue may be
asked for.

Augusta Mack confssss..

The trial of Martin Thorn for the
murder of William Guldensuppe at
Woodside, L. l., in June last began
this week. Augusta Mack the woman
implicated with him has made a
confession, and Wednesday took the
witness stand and told in detail how
the terrible crime was committed.
Her story does not vary materially
from the one alleged to have been
told by Thorn to Gartha, which led
to his arrest. Guldensuppe was
lured to the cottage, and while in
specting an upper room was shot by
Thorn, his body dragged to the bath
tub and cut in pieces and next day
the packages were deposited by the
woman and Thorn in the river and

HARRIsBURe, Nov. 9.--Now comes
the startling announcement that the
gubernatorial candidates will have
to fight their own BATTLES, Senator
Quay being reported to have declared
that he will take no part in the cam
paign whatever Last week State
Treasurer Haywood spent a few
hours with Quay at the latter's homo
in Beaver, and when interrogated
as to how Quay felt on the situation
said that she will keep hands off
the coming fight for governor, as
most of the aspirants are friends of
his" 1t is a well-known fact that
Stone, Widener and Connell have all
done successful work for the famous
bCubbOIS anu WllOu buCJ ouhOuuCOl
themselves as candidates it put
Quay in quite predicament, for it
was generally understood that Stone
would have his support, but since
then, the readers of these letters are
we'll aware, there have been strange
developments, aud owing to this
Quay has decided to do his work un-
der cover. His large number of
faithful" lieu tenants in the state
will be made familiar with the
situation, and although not receiv-
ing their instructions direct, will be
given full knowledge as to what they
are expected to do and for whom it
shall be done. Quay has again gono
to his Florida retreat and will re-
turn at the convening of Congress,
so nothing of interest can be ex-
pected from him for a few weeks
Since Congressman Stone has estab
lished headquarters in Pittsburg and
flooded the state with personal ap-
peals for support, it is reasonable to
suppose that Connell and Widener
will not forcibly intrude themselves.
However, it is not disputed that
they will enter the contest, not with
the expectation of being nominated,
but in order to keep up their popu-
larity and insure recognition at
some future time. My prediction is
that Stone will go into the conven
tion next year and after few
favorites' names are presented and
withdrawn he will receive the un-
animous endorsement of the con-
vention.

to coma into this State except when
shipped in quarantine to destina-
tion and examined at the expense of
the owner by some one appointed by
the board. This law was passed be-
cause a great many tuberculous cat
tie had been brought into the State.
This resulted in much expense to
tle State and loss to the owners. In
accordance with the act the board
has decided to erect at the veterin
ary department of the University Of
Pennsylvania a building for these

quite distinct from the woman Of
other countries. 1t has become al
most an everyday occurrence for
the nobility and royal blood of
Europe to cross the water in search
Of an American beauty, for the
United States has become famous
throughout the world. The Ameri-
can beauty is a peculiar product of
this country. She has, however,
one formidable enemy, not only to
her beauty, but to her health as
we'll. That enemy is indigenous to
the climate and soil of the United
States. It is called catarrh. AL
most every woman has it in mild or
severe forms. Our climate makes it
well-nigh unavoidable. 1t is the
only natural enemy the American
woman has. Not only is the United
States the home of catarrh, but it is
also the home of the now world
famous catarrh remedy, Pe-ru-na.
The medical profession has at last
succeeded in devising a remedy for
the well-nigh universal disease.
DR.. Hartman, the original COM
FOUNDER of Pe-ru-na, has recent
book on chronic catarrh which he
will send free to any address for a
short time. Address The Pe-ru-na

The Court House Burglary.

Scare head lines in our ootemp-
orary last week announced that an
attempt had been made to burglarize
the Court House, and the startling
news was promptly telegraphed to
the city papers. The fact is as we
were informed at the time, that one
of the county officials had been in
advertently 10 ked in his Office by
some one and in getting out simply
pulled the hasp of his door, and
spread the outer doors until they
opened. Hence the startling report
of attempted burglary.

to find out who she represented,
this she accomplished by asking
questions that could be answered by
Eyes or no." Mrs. w. V. billiard

Choir Refused to Sing.

The choir of Rev. Thos. Dixons
church refused to sing last Sunday
out of sympathy with Professor
Agramante, their leader, because the
pastor in a sermon the previous
Sabbath advocated the election Of
Seth Low for Mayor. The Cuhans
feel that Low was opposed to in
tervention, and has stood against
the cause of Cuban liberty since the
outbreak of the last war.

A Deer Visited Milford.

Last Friday a deer came slowly
ambling up one of the streets of
Milford and after being "shooed"
out Of two or three door yards along
the way by ladies, it went up on
the farm Of Col Lewis just outside
the Borough and laid down. Some
sportsmen pursued and finding it
there shot it, Probably the poor
animal had been chased by dogs un-
til tired out, and was slowly return
ing to its haunts, when overtaken
and killed.

The three-year-old boy of j. A..
Johnson, of Lynn Center, H., is
subject to attacks of Group. Mr..
johnson says he is satisfied that the
timely use of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, during a severe attack,
saved his little boys life. He is in
the drug business, member of the
firm of johnson Bros, of that place
and they handle great many
patent medicines for throat and
lung diseases. He had all these to
choose from, and skilled physicians
ready to respond to his call, but
selected this remedy for use in his
own family at time when his
child's life was in danger, because
he knew it to be superior to any
other, and famous the country over
for its cures of Group. Mr.. johnson
says this is the best selling cough
medicine they handle, and that it
gives splendid satisfaction in all
cases. Sold by Druggist and Gen.
eral Merchants in Pike County.

DEPARTMENT NOTES.

The Chester Times says It is
generally understood in Chester
county that Senate Sergeant-at
Arms T. Larry Eyre is booked for a
good federal appointment, and that
this was largely the reason why he
declined to enter the fight for the
Republican nomination for the Office
of Recorder of Deeds.
1t is expected that when the sold
iers' orphan school commission
meets next month. Captain George
w. Skinner, pension agent at Pitts
burg, will he elected superintendent
of the Scotland industrial school,
Mayor Patterson, of Harrisburg,
will also likely be elected perman-
ent secretary of the commission.
Governor Hastings and staff win
attend the dedicatory services at
Chattanooga Monday next. They

DECISIONS IN LAW.

An opinion given by Deputy At
torney General Reeder to Auditor
General Mylin decides that when a
license for an opera house is paid the
person paying the license does not
have topay treasurer's fees or fee
to an appraiser, as has been the Gus
tom in a great many places.
In the case of the State against
the World Benefit Association, of
West Virginia to have the associa-
tion's license revoked in this state,
Judge MCPHERSON, of the Dauphin
county court, ordered that the H.
csnse heretofore granted to the as
ISOLATION to transact business be
hereby revoked and annulled. The
association was represented to
be in unsound condition and it was
represented that the Post Office De-
partment at Washington has ad-
judged it to be fraudulent and re-
fused to deliver mail to the home
Office at Wheeling and the branch
office at Philadelphia.
Deputy Attorney General Rseder
has decided that the business of the
Philadelphia Underwriters Associa-
tion, an association of two fire COM
panies is illegal. It appears that
the Fire Insurance Association and
the Insurance Company of North
America organized the Underwriters
Association about a year ago merely
to reduce the number of agencies
and lessen Office expenses. Persons
holding policies in the Underwriters
Association will not lose on account
of the decision, for each of the two
Companies concerned will issue poll
cies for half the amount carried
with the Underwriters.

Cuban and Philippine war news re-
mains very much as it was. 1nat is,
one cannot believe word that comes
over the wires. Weyler has started
upon a mysterious expedition, which
will end in the usual smoke. There is
a talk of selling Cuba to the patriots,
but that idea does not seem a very
feasible plan, seeing the patriots claim
they have a winning hand. 1t looks as
if Spain wanted to get last squeeze
at the fruit which she has to let go.
But the Cubans are no fools and any
such project as this would be repud-
lated by them. They are in to win by
the sword and do not intend to start
out their Government hampered by Il
big debt to Spain. They have debts
enough of their own. In the Philip
pines a more incompetent general than
usual has been appointed Poor Spain
it is in bad way.
