A MECHANICS VIEWS.
On the Most Important Local Question
We Have at Present to Discuss.

Opinions expressed publicly through
this newspaper by people in the commoner
walks of life who live in some distant
State lack the interest which is attach
ed TO opinions held by residents of the
Western part of Pennsylvania. The
former have always n suspicious halo
about them which is absent in the lat
ter. To put II plainly. the reader would
sooner believe the statement of a man
living in Greensburg. Pa. than the state
ment of a resident of Woonsocket, II. l.,
and when the Greensburg citizen courts
inquiry, the experience which follows can
certainly be depended upon. Mr.. Amos
Eisarnan. painter, whose office and shop
is at 331 w. otterman street. lives on
Brushton avenue, Greensburg. Pa Write
him If you are in doubt about his state
ment, and ask him if IT is not true. Mr..
Eisaman says: Il can thank Deans Kid
ney Pills for the good health / am Row
enjoying. i never felt better than have
since l took the pills last winter lSA
My kidneys have been weak and have
troubled me more or less ever since l was
boy. but the last few years very severe
iy. The pains through my loins were
often so severe that | could not get around
TO my business. and to do any work ne
cessitating STOPPING or lifting was entire
ly out OF the question. The secretions
were irregular, frequent and distressing,

ment. / had doctored a great deal. but
without getting any satisfactory results.

commended so highly, thought would
try them, and got box at a drug store.

until was thoroughly cured. ! now have
no more trouble, and 1 am glad to rec
ommend remedy which has proven it

THAT Dingley bill is getting in its
work. 1t prohibits European tourists
from bringing in trunks full of cloth
ing and other personal possessions free
OF duty, and consequently prevents
these same tourists from buying their
clothing abroad. To regain part of
their losses the fashionable furnishers of
London and Parisare considering plans
Tor opening branch establishments in
this country. II they do this they will
be subject to the same conditions as the
resident dealers, snd all will be equal,
and the government will no longer be
deprived Of the revenue to which it is
entitled.

Donoghue's License Valid.

PITnsBURG, Pa, Oct. ia petition for
an appeal from the Superior Court de
cree reversing the lower Court in refusing
Jeremiah G. Donoghue liquor license al
Philadelphia was refused blythe Supreme
Court here, and the petition dismissed.
The case is an interesting one. Dono-
ghue was granted license one year by
filing stipulation with the Court, in
which he pledged himself in considera-
ton ofa license being granted him not
to apply again, and the lower Court held
him to his pledge.
The Superior Court held that the lower
Court in the first place had no right 10
make such terms with applicants. BY
Its action the Supreme Court uphOlds the
Superior, and settles..a knotty problem in
License Court matters.

Injunctions Too Frequent.

DENVER, Oct. ll.-Judge Wilson, of the
Court of Appeals, with Judges ThOmp-
son end Bissell concurring.. handed down
an opinion to-day in which: he makes a
vigorous attack on excessive use of in-
functions 49,
"we cannot approve practice" said
Judge Wilson, NOR subscribe to a doe
trine which permits the exercise by the
courts of the extraordinary power of in
junctive relief for every wrong or in
fringement upon the rights of another.
Such course of procedure, if carried to
its ultimate natural conclusion, would
tend to entirely subyert the principles
upon which our system of laws is
foundedn

Pearl Finds in Georgia.

CALHOUN, Ga, Oct. lo.-The pearl ex-
element which developed in Arkansas
has appeared in upper Georgia Jack
Bennit, farmer on the oostanaula
River. read an account of the discovery
of pearls in the rivers and lakes of Ar
kansas. The following morning, with
his little son, he went down to Johns
Creek, a tributary of the Oostanaula, and
gathered pearls for which he received
$50 from Baltimore, Md. This put the
neighborhood in a fever of excitement,
the result being that entire families are
camping on the river and creek.
Charles Sims, little son of Squire s.
]. Sims, found pearl, for which he re-
ceived $40. All the streams in this vicin-
ity abound in pearl-bearing mnsse1s, and
for many years children have collected
the gems and used them as luck balls
and marbles.

Elkin is Confident.

HARRIsBURG, Oct. 1l.-State Chairman
Elkin conferred with the party leaders
here to-day. He said the reports from
the county chairman are extremely en-
couraging. and the outlook is favorable
for a substantial Republican victory.
Beacon and McCauley are being greeted
by large audiences wherever they 90, and
there is no indication of detection in the
Repu ublican ranks. Mr.. Eikin predicted
Republican plurality of at least iS0, 0,0o0.
He said the Swallow sentiment was
scarcely noticeable in many sections OF
the State, and the w. X. Thompson party
had not attained threatening proportions

IT WOULD be interesting to know
whom f. ]. Kooser and his "fake'i
County Chairman will support at the
coming election. LAST fall they did all
in their power to elect Free Silverite
to congress, and this spring they hoped
to secure control of the Republican
county organization by holding a fake
primary. 1t is reliably reported that
they have secured enough signatures
to place their flake" candidates on
the official ballot by nomination papers,
but viii they do it? Aed if so, under
what name?

Brown, farmer, went to the Farmers
and Merchants National bank at FL
Dorado to-day and told the cashier he
wanted to pay off 81 800 mortgage which

The Long Drouth in the West Broken at
Last

CHICAGO, Oct. ll.-Rain to-day was
general over the whole territory east OF
the Rocky mountains and in the Missis-
sippi and Ohio valleys and the lake re-
gion. There is a promise of continued
downfall for the next "a hours. All over
this vast expanse of country this is the
first important rain that has fallen for
from six weeks to two mouths. Ii breaks
one of the most long continued and dis
astrous droughts on record. Crops have
suffered, fruit has been blasted and prai-
rie and forest fires have done great DAM
age Conservative estimates place the
reduction in acreage of winter wheat a,
p per cent. Thousands of acres through
out the affected district have not even
been ploughed, the ground being in such
condition as to render farm work next
TO impossible. To stock raisers the rain
is godsend, as pastures which have been
dried up for weeks will be available once
more.
The rain was particularly valuable in
Texas, where the drought had lasted
since early in August. II had damaged
the corn crop, lessened the cotton crop
10000 bales and greatly retarded prepa-
rations for fall planting. Preparations for
seeding a big area of wheat will now
begin

WHILE IT is not definitely known at

down from their position and will not

day, is the last day for filing noniina-

return to their original intention, and
file them, in which event the names of

A Fortune In q Bustle.

BosroN, Mass, Oct. ll.-In the Suffolk
County Probate Court to-day a hearing
was had on petition for partial distri-
button of the estate left by Almira NJ.
Perham. The fact that Mrs. Perham LEFT
any estate whatever was a surprise to
those who knew the woman. II was
common talk that the woman was likely
TO be found dead some day from starva-
ton. A search of her rooms revealed
$1,000 in bank bills in an old hustle,
while in a iilapidated trunk were bonds
and other securities which bring the val
ue of her estate up to s6l, 900.

JUsT how many votes w. r. Thomp-
son, the Independent candidate for
State Treasurer, will receive in this
county will depend largely on the num-
Der of voters that will again permit
themselves to be duped 10y the leaders
of the late fake primary. As burnt
child breads the fire, it is not likely
that the Thompson vote will cut any
considerable figure.

Fayette Democrats Despondent.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, Oct. THE Demo-

of getting their nominee for judge on the

the fight at Harrisburg, and arrived home

the party have given up all hope of elect
ing anything.

Guess Work in Medicine is yalueiess, Es-
pecially So in Eye, Ear. Nose and Throat.
Hundreds of people write specialists
they have some ailment to which they
give a name, and ask if it can be cured,
and how much will ii cost. Think of such
a proposition one moment and see how
impossible to answer.
The worst cases of failure in medical and
surgical work are owing to incorrect
tliagnosis-treating for the wrong thing.
A correct knowledge of a disease or con-
dition can only be gained, even by an ex
pert, by careful examination. There
fore, if you have. any ailment Of eye, ear,
nose or throat worth spending money on
at all, do it right by having an examina-
ton first.
