Five Hundred Tickets Given Away.

Upon the occasion of the recent
National Encampment of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, at Buffalo, The
Daily Ne,rS, of Pittsburg, by way OF
compliment to the organization, sup
piled $50 comrades with tickets from
Pittsburg to Buffalo and return free of
charge. 1t has been determined to do
still better next year.
The encampment of 1898 will be held
mt Cincinnati Ohio. The commander
in.cbief of the G. A. II. is Gen. J. p. s.
Goblin, a Pennsylvania. It therefore
behooves comrades of the Department
of Pennsylvania to make an especially
large showing.
To help the event along The Daily
Necs has decided to offer 800 railroad
tickets from Pittsburg to Cincinnati
and return, to be apportioned among
seven posts selected by the general pub
lie. as follows:
To the post whose regular place of
meeting is in Pittsburg or Allegheny
receiving the largest number of votes,
l25 tickets.
To the post in Pittsburg or Allegheny
receiving the second largest number of
votes, 10 tickets: the one receiving the
third largest number of votes, 80 tick
cts.
The following is to the posts whose
regular places of meeting are outside of
Pittsburg and Allegheny: The post re-
ceiving the largest number of votes, 100
tickets: the post that gets the second
largest number of votes, 10 tickets;
third, 80 tickets: fourth, 25 tickets.
This gives all posts, whether large or
small, or wherever located, fighting
chance for one of the prizes, and fight
ing chance is all any Grand Army COM
rade ever asked. Selection of posts is
to be made by means Of voting blank
which will be printed on eighth page Of
The Daily Ne,cs every publication day
between October /, 1897, and July 81,
1898. This runs the contest ten months
If you subscribe for The Daily NeUs at
once your own subscription will bring in
more than 250 votes before the close of
the contest. 1t is not desired that
copies of The Daily Ne,cs shall be pur-
chased from agents or carriers in guam
titles. Every effort will be made to pre-
vent this practice. But The Daily
Ne'cs will feel honored to have comrades
of the G. A. r. and their families and
friends become regular readers of its
pages.

comrade, begin reading The Daily Ne,cs

test lively one

Hotel Beats Arrested.

A constable from New Bethlehem ar
rived here yesterday and took into Gus
tody Lew. better known as "Rube'
Horn, and two young men named Miller
for skipping board bill at Dayton
hotel, where they attended fair last
week. Each one of them owed the
landlord S4.00. The father of the Mill.
er boys paid the bill and costs, $1,000 in
all, and Horn after much trouble,
secured enough money to gain his free
dom. 1t cost him $500. Beating
hotels Is contemplate business, and /,

county that man down that way went
out in his garden not long ago, planted
a cucumber seed and started on a run
for the house, but before he could get
out Of the garden, the cucumber vines
overlook him, wound around his legs
and threw him down; he ran his hand

Because apples are generally cheap
and plentiful people don't stop to
appreciate the real value of the fruit
for medicinal purposes. We know from
personal experience that apples are
very beneficial in aiding digestion. The
Home Doctor says: "Apples are useful
in nervous dyspepsia; they are nutri-
tious, medicinal and vitalizing: they
aid digestion, clear the voice, correct
the acidity of the stomach and are valu-
able in rheumatism, insomnia and liver
troubles. An apple contains as much
nutriment as potato in a pleasauter
and more wholesome form"

Everybody Called Him Uncle.

Last weeks issue OF The STAR con-
tained an article on the death and bur-
ial OF William Mcconnell, one of the
early settlers OF the Beechwoods,
and, hence we will not publish all of an
obituary notice received Saturday from
Rev. A. z. Myers, of Aliens Mills, as
it would be repetition in part of what
we said last week, but the commune
cation contained some facts we did not
give last week and we publish that part
of the obituary which is as follows:
VIM. Mcconnell was born In Centre
county, Pa, March 14th, 1920, and died
Sept. 26th, 1897, aged II years, 6months
and II days. He was twice married;
first to Eliza Mcintosh. To this union
we're born three children, David A.,
living home, Nancy Cooper, living
on an adjoining farm and Reuben, OF
Falls Creek. They were not permitted
to walk together in life long. His sec.
ond partner was Katherine Rogers. To
this union was given one daughter, Mrs.
Eliza G. Corbin, living at Sterling, Kan
sas.
He was one OF large family and is
the ninth OF mature age that has been
gathered to the Beechwoods cemetery
to await the resurrection. Only one
brother, David, living near Brookville,
survives. Few large families are per-
mitted at mature age to slumber in one
resting place.
He was outspoken, frank OF disposi-
tion, and had won many friends. Since
knowing him and since in the commun-
ity we have nearly all called him "Uncle
Billy Mcconnell" We do not know
who is or who is not nephew or niece
and suppose we never shall, as old and
young delighted to call him uncle.
This speaks volumes as a hbOr,
friend and citizen. He never united
with the church, living his own quiet
way. He expressed willingness to
die and seemed to long for release
from his sufferings which he bore with
remarkable fortitude.

All the laws enacted by the .Legis-
lature of this Commonwealth should be
published in one or two newspapers in
every county in the State, so that the
people will have little excuse for not
knowing what laws are placed on the
statute books by each session Of the
Legislature. The Pennsylvania State
Editorial Association has taken this
matter up and the Legislative commit
tee Of the Association will, doubtless
frame bill to be presented to the next
Legislature with this aim in view.
How can the people observe laws they
know nothing about? The Legislative
Record Ia an expense to the State that
could be done away with and this

lature after the Governor had put his
signature to the same. The legislation
Of the present year is now in force and
at the present moment is binding upon
every citizen Of Pennsylvania. Yet the
text Of the laws will not be printed for
weeks, and even then the circulation
will be limited to justices, judges and
lawyers. Is 1t the proper caper to pun
ish people for not obeying laws Of which
they have absolutely no knowledge or
notice? 1t may cost more money, but

The press of the country contain
proofs daily that there are many people
who do not believe that, "a good name
is rather to be chosen than great riches.
and loving favor than silver and gold"
at least they don't act accordingly. If
a person wants contentment and the
real sweetness there is in this life, they
will find good name better than riches,
and loving favor better than gold, and
yet 1t is hard to believe there is any
thing quite so good as gold, judging
from the way we scramble for the yellow
stuff. However the gold is a poor sub
stitute for loving favor or good name.

King Solomon said: 81 went by the
field OF the slothful, and by the vine-
yard Of the man void Of understanding;
and 10, it was all grown over with thorns,
and nettles had covered the face there
OF, and the stone wall thereof was brok-
en- down. Then saw and considered It
well: looked upon It and received in
struction." The wise king summed it
up thusly: "Yet a little sleep, little
slumber, little folding Of the hands TO
sleep" BY taking q trip over the
country with your eyes opened you will
be lead to believe, by the appearance of
some farms, that the descendants of the
slothful man whose field Solomon passed
by, are farming in Pennsylvania in the
latter days of the nineteenth century.

Washington, Oct. S.-The state DEPART
ment has not yet been officially informed
OF the purpose Of the Spanish govern
ment to dissolve the cortes in December.
as indicated in Madrid cablegrams. II
was expected. however, that it would be
found necessary for the cabinet to go to
the country in order to secure tho sup
port OF a majority for the Liberal policy
towards Cuba, inasmuch as the present
eortes has a clear Conservative majority
whenever that party's elements can be
brought together. Disappointment is
1eat at the remote e ror the con-
venlng or the new $500. IT it is pre-
sumed that any new programme for the
settlement Of Cuban affairs must be rat
flied by the cortes, and if this is not to
meet until next March the long delay, it
is feared. will give rise to irritation, and
perhaps be beyond the powers of endur-
ance Of the present administration. 1t is
possible. however. that by a prompt dec
laraticn Of policy towards Cuba, couched
in such terms and made public in such
fashion as to bind the government be-
yond doubt, the delay will not be serious
in results.
A cable from Madrid says: 1T IS semi
officially announced that the note which
General Stewart L. Woodford, the Unit
ed States minister. communicated to the
Duke Of Tetuan. the Spanish minister
Tor foreign AFFAIRS is no more an ulti.
matum than 1t is comminatory docu-
ment. In spirit and texualiy it Is
couched in friendly terms. The cabinet
at Washington expresses a wish to know
when Cuba can be pacified. and requests
Spain to reply before Oct. 80 in order
that President Mckinley may be able to
incorporate SPAR rrswer in his mes.
sage to congres .-mier Sagasta, in
agreement with Senor Gullon, the minis
ter for foreign affairs, proposes to send
a moderate reply declaring the policy Of
Spain is to await events and to take such
measures a. consideration and prudence
dictate until the change Of policy in
Cuba smoothes the relations between the
two governments. The answer Of Spain
will rot be drawn up until the pro-
gramme for the reforms in Cuba has
been published"
Another cable from Madrid says: "A
cabinet council at which the queen re-
gent presided was held yesterday. When
the ministers separated the premier, Sc
nor 6agasta. announced to the newspa.
per men that no final decision had been
taken IN regard to the reply
which Spain will make to the

ed States minister. General Stewart l..
Woodfofd. The impartial however,
says it learns that the reply Of Spain will
