NJ l. Davidson, manager for j. A
Criswell's Livery barn, while dressing
the foot of lame horse was struck
over the right eye by the horse foot
and was partially stunned by the blow.
and is carrying very sore eye around
at the present.
Mr.. Young. of Evans City, was in
town today and says business Is quiet
in their town
DR.. J. c. Barr is still adding improve
ments to his property.
Hello! there who pasted you in the
eve is the greeting Davidson gets when

The Burlesdue Comedy Co. will give
a show in the Opera House on Thurs
! dav evening. Come one and all and
have good time.
Mrs. Florence Comfy is building a
| fine residence in town, and will occupy
il with her mother in the near future.
Dodds & Son, our millers are doing
| good work and report trade increasing
and as they are right men in the r1ght
place we wish them many prosperous
| days.
Mr.. Dick Hutcnman had valuable
horse stolen the other night and has
| had no word of it yet. 1t seems so
strange that people can get away so
easy seeing that we have the advantage
of the telegraph and telephone. and can
communicate with all sections of the
| country in very short time that we
| can't hear n word-they must disappear
by magic or have hiding place IN
some out of the way place and stay
| there until the excitement Is over and
then come out and sell the horse and
| 90 out and steal another, as 1t looks
| to me it is done by an organized Dand
and they have it down to a system.
Secret Orders got slaughtered right
| and left last night by Rev. StCughten,
who gave lecture and chalk talk IN
| the R. P Church on the initiation OF
| the different orders and claimed there
was no benefit to be received by them
| EDWARD Langtry died in the Chester
Lunatic Asylum while Mrs. Langtry
was entertaining a select party OF
| sporting friends at dinner at the Savoy
| Hotel in London They were celebra-
ting her winning 5000, 600 in bets on her
| house. Norman. which won the
Cesarewitch stakes.
After her husband had been taken to
| the asylum the officials there had no
| communication of any sort from Mrs.
Langtry. Were it not thst ne had a
| small income he would have been treat
ed as pauper inmate. By the irony of
| fate this income now passes, under the
marriage settlement, to swell the hoard
| accumulated by the famous Jersey Lily
IT has come to be recognized fact
| that the year after Presidential cleo
| ton is year of sluggishness in political
| affairs, and the State campaign now
| drawing to a close is no exception to
that rule Up to this date there has
been little indication that the people at
| large take any interest in the matter,
| and it is doubtful whether the majority
| of the voters know on what exact date
| the election is to be held. And yet on
next Tuesday-the second of November
the ballots are to be cast and counted
| that are to elect important State Off
GERS and in this county two Jury Com
missioners No doubt this apathy Is
| mainly due to the general belief that
| the Republican candidates are sure to
be chosen, and that the only question
to be determined by the election is the
| size of their majorities.
