FARMERS TAKE NOTICE !
On:ce of Kerr Brothers,

Ofl:ce of Kerr Brothers,
Wrghtsville, Pa, Feb. 16, 1897.
We are informed by reliable farmers from
your section, that Il certain lime burner from
Western Maryland has been circulating re-
port in your neighborhood that our lime will
analyZe only 60 per cent. carbonate of lime
and the remainder IS insouble and magnesia.
Now ne desire to brand this lie from the
whole cloth, and it is not the first time this
INSCRIPTIONS gentleman has tried to pass this
little scheme of his around, and this is only one
of the many schemes he gets up in order to dis
pose OF his socalled combination lime. We will
take pleasure in having test of lime or lime
stone as to increase in shaking, analysis, or re-
suits.
We run no persons lime down, but are will
jig at all times to have our lime come in COM
petition with any of the agricultural lines in
the market, and will guarantee it to analyze as
high in carbonate of lime. You must also take
into consideration the vast difference in the
weight of bushel of lime. We are sure some
of this combination lime as 1t is called, will
weigh from 100 to 40 pounds to the bushel.
Trusting you will consider well before you
purchase your lime, we are the old reliable
firm.

The rumors which have been flying

making arrangements to settle in New
York on the expiration of his present
term in Congress, are set aside by what
appears to be an authentic denial by Mr..
Reed himself.
We may hope that the assurance is we'll

whom New England cannot afford to
lose. He is not only distinguished cit
lzens but remarkably fine example of the
pest New England type. 1t might have
been to his advantage had ne been born
In Massachusetts, to be sure: but Maine
Is the child of Massachusetts, and the
Old Bay State has lively grandmother
~ interest in the sons of her Down East
daughter. Tom" Reed has always been
one of her favorites. Had Massachusetts
had her way he would have been given
the chance which Hanna grabbed for
Mckinley year ago.
MIR. Reed is quoted as saying that New
York is chock full of statesmen without
him. But even if there was no such pie
thora of craftsmanship in the Empire
State, we hope. Mir. Reed would not think
seriously Of severing his ties here. He
Will probably never be President, for the
reason that his party does not put for

can enjoy the assurance that everybody

STATISTICS OF THE DAILY PRESS.
Curious Facts Relating to Newspapers and
Population.
(From the New York sun.)

(From the New York SUM-
There are 10000 newspapers in the
United States, of which $3.50, or more
than 10 per cent, are published daily.
These daily papers. however, are not gsdls-
tributed uniformly throughout the several
states, and there seems to be no clear rule
Tor the discrepancies to be found in some
states. New York, for instance, the
largest of the states in respect to popula-
t1on, and the one, too, having the largest
number of newspapers, has only 1873
dailies, whereas Pennsylvania, the popu-
alton of which is $50, 900 less than New
York's, has 201. Missouri, with popu-
lat1on of 10000 900. has only 81 daily
papers, while Indiana. with population
OF 800, 900 less, has 1877, yet the Hoosier
state, with Illinois on one side and Ohio
on the other has not usually been noted
for its public enlightenment. On tn e
other hand Missouri has 700 wee KY papers
whereas Indiana has.57 The. population
OF Massachusetts by the last census taken
the. state census of 1S95-was 1880, 900.
The.population of California at the same
time was 1850, 900, or just one half.
Massachusetts, has long had high rank
in all matters connected with education
andgrublic enlightenment 1t is the state
of several universities, it is prominent in
all educational matters, and it is one of
the very oldest Of the states of the coun-
try in.point of settlement. Yet Massa-
chusetts has only IS daily papers, where
as California, with one half tine popula-
tion of the Bay State. has 113. These are
some of the discrepancies which seem to
require explanation.
The distribution of daily papers
throughout the country is in other re-
spects singular. Mississippi, with a
population Of 1.250,0G0 and with large
mercantile and agricultural interests, has
only nine daily papers, whereas Arizona,
with a population 1-12th as large and
much of it made up of persons wholly
Delaware, including the thriving city of
Wilmington, and with no foreign popu-
lation numerous enough to be considered,
has the same number of daily newspapers
as New Mexico with population 25, 900
less, and considerable portion of it In
dians and half f-breeds. There are only / 8
daily papers in the state of Tennessee,
only 10 in West Virginia, and 80 in Ken
lucky. But in North Carolina, state
destitute of large cities, there are q daily
papers and in Arkansas that are 26. New
Hampshire and Vermont are neighboring
states; their population is about the same
between $50, 900 and 375, 900. Yet New
Hampshire has Is daily papers and Yer
mont has four only. Connecticut has,
relatively, more daily papers than has
Massachusetts. Iowa has more than
Texas and Idaho has fewer than any other
state or territory, with the exception of
Alaska, though this condition may not be
permanent when the belated returns
have been received from the Klondike,
where heretofore journalism has not flour.

daily papers than any other country, but
their distribution is peculiar.

If the Hawaiian treaty is not ratified by
the Senate an attempt will be made, it is
said, to annex Hawaii by joint resolution
passed by both houses. 1t was in this
way that Texas was annexed. While it
requires a twolthirds vote of the Senate
to ratify treaty a majority vots of each
house is sufficient to annex in the Texas
fashion. But the feeling seems to be
pretty general among the Senators that
the treaty will be ratified. Senator.-White
its strongest opponent, seems to hold this
view himself, though he says that in
some cases the favorable vote will not
represent the real opinion of the Senator
who gives it. 1t would seem, however, if
there was ever a question that ought to

pointed. He can increase or diminis
their number according to his will.
Neither the President nor any head of
department has anything to do with
their selection or appointment. Hence
their terms of office, according to the
opinion of Mr.. O'Connell, should and do
expire with that of the collector. With
gaugers and storekeepers it is different.
They are appointed from the eligible list
upon recommendation of the civil service
commission and therefore are not subject
to removed by the collector. The same
line OF reasoning will apply to deputy
United States marshals.

1896 there were lat, 758 depositors out of a
poulation Of less than 700, 600 with 4,311,-
634 pounds to their credit. The income
from investment of funds is sufficient to
meet the interest charges due depositors,
