Five Miles From the Earth's Surface.
The balloon used by Messrs. Spen-
C and Berson, of the Berlin Observ-
atory, in their sensational balloon as
cension in London recently, was in
tiated with pure hydrogen, instead of
coal gas, and reached the remarkable
altitude Of ~, 500 feet-more than five
miles from the surface of the earth.
This record has only once been ex
ceedel, in 1862, by Glaisher and Cox
well, who claim to have gone 1900
feet higher. Allowing, however, for
the superiority of modern recording
instruments, and the extreme debility
which overcame the two aeronauts
even at the lower level, there may be
some reason to question whether Cox
we'll and Glaisher's altitude was aciu
ally reached. Scientific American.

The Philadelphia Bourse meeting indi-
Gates that an element of the Republican
party has determined, if it can be done,
to rid the Republican party of Pennsyl-
yania of the bosses and bOOdlers who are
threatening its life. The move is of kind
TO be commended, no difference within
what party or by what set of men under
taken. If the promoters of the move are
sincere in their purpose they will direct
their crusade against every abuse of OIL :
eialism and corrupt office holder they find
in the state. Neither friend nor foe win be
spared. They will not try to shielda cor
rupt official or coterie Of them simply
because the corrnptionists happen to be
training under their banner. To do so
would simply subject the anti corrupt
ionists to the charge of working only for
stage effect. Such an impression they
cannot afford to let grow into the minds
of the people, because it would prove dis
astrous 10 their cause.
In Somerset County the reform wing is
now in the ascendency, and the way~for
il TO maintain this aScendeney is to show
itself ready TO expose all INSIDERS and
their misdoings, no difference where they
find them. If found in their own ranks
and they shake them from their protect
ing fold. il will convince the people that
they are working for honesty for honesty's
sake and not for something else
The Bourse element of the county have
now first class chance TO prove their de-
votion to their professions. The County
Commissioners stand charged with grave
abuses. Let the BouTse element itself
assist in having an investigation. Let
them aid in every way they can to make
the investigation thorough. Then if the
charges are proved let them cast of the
culprits as unit longer to train with them
as leaders or be trusted with their con-
fidence.

Row DlD he RAIN TT
Milford Township Farmer Wants TO Knoz
HSx His Former Eeighbor Earned the
s955.50 he Drew From tie
Coanty Last Year.

Mr. EDITon:-
IN looking over the auditors report OF
the receipts and expenditures of Somer-
erset county for last year notice that
| Commissioner Good drew SI62600; Kretch-
man Ssi52 90, and Kimmell s955.50, besides
what they drew for travelling expenses.
Commissioner ASimmell and lived in
the same township aud followed the same
avoeatiOn-farming-for many years, and
l must say that George was good neigh
Dor and hard worker. When he was
candidate for Commissioner two years
ago he argued with me and others that if
we would vote for him we would be vot-
| ing for our own interests; that having
once been Commissioner, ifelected again
he conld save the county great deal of
money and reduce our taxes. We believ-
ed him and voted for him aud he was
elected. Our taxes have not been re-
duced the millage is the same as former
years, bat our valuation has been increas-
ed, which, of course, increases our taxes.
Now. while don't think George is en-
tirely responsible for this, do think that
he ought to explain why it is so. know
have worked just as hard, and much
harder, on my farm than he has in the
Commissioners Office for the last year
and didn't earn or make anything like
S955.0O. 1 would like to know and many
Of my neighbors would like to know Just
what work George did each of the 273
days he put in last year as Commissioner
for which he drew from the county $3.50
per day.
We all know that he put in a good
many days down here at his farm, and
few days in telling US how TO vote, bat
don't suppose he charged the county
$3.50 per day for that. How his making
$3.50 from the county while our taxes
were being increased was in our interest
is what puzzles us.
We think the Commissioners ought to
publish a statement of what they did
each day to earn their $3.50 per day, or at
least that George ought, if for no other
reason than to demonstrate TO US how we
voted for our own interests when we vot-
ed for him.
Win yoa, Mr.. Editor, publish state
ment of this kind if George furnishes it?
Yours in his own interest,
Gebharts, Feb. p, rs. FARMER.

the HERALD with a copy of the itenizod

Death Of an Interestiug Child.

Henry Whedon Jeller, only child of
Rev. and Mrs. Jeller, pastor of the NJ. +
Church, Addison, Pa, died suddenly of
cholera infantnm, February IL, lS9S, aged
one year, three months and two days
Whedon was a sweet child, ana had en-
deared himself 10 the parishioners and
others of the charge as no child had ever
done before. Old and Young noticed him
for his sweet disposition and his bright
intellect. He was old beyond his short
span of life. and had it been the will of
Him who doeth all things well, that his
life should have been spared, he would
doubtless have done great good TO others.
He was born at Corsica, Penn'a. whittier
his parents had come from Oregon to at
tend Rev. Jeller's father in his old age.
Sorrow has visited the home of Rev. Jel-
Ter before; he is "a wayfaring man ac-
dnainted with grief" a beloved wife
and two children are sleeping their last
sleep on the far-away Pacific coast, and in
this latest bereavement the heartfelt
sympathy of everyone goes out TO the
parents bereft of their only lovable child.
Death loves a shining mark, and whom
God loveth he chasteneth were never
more especially exemplified than in this
case. May the Father who "tempers the
wind TO the shorn lamb and binds up
the wounds of the broken hearted" sus-
tain and comfort them now while the
dark shadows>ek grief hover over them,
is the wish of
Addison, Pa. a FRIEND.
