WILL ORGANIZE NEW GUARD.
Men who Have Offered to Form Com-

Harrisburg, April 27.-It is said to he
the intention of Governor Hastings to
form new Pennsylvania National
Guard as soon as the present guard, now
assembling at Mount Grctna, is mustered
into the regular service. The services Of
the thousands of men who have VOlun-
teered their service i'm defense Of their
country will be utilized i'm the formation
of the new guard.
1t is probable that the many men who
have offered to form companies and regi-
ments will be called upon to perform
their self-imposed tasks. The governor
will likely issue a Colonels commission
to John Wanamaker who has offered to
equip regiment at his own expense.

WEST SIDE COUNCIL.

The West Side Council had one of
their interesting sessions last night,
with Mayor Hardin in the chair and
the following aldermen present:
Ferguson, Thompson, Carmichael,
James, Estes. Mercer and Graves.

they we're accepted.
A compromise was announced
with parties living on Rose Hill,
who have not paid city taxes for a
number of years on a claim that
they did not live in the city, or were
taken into the city by fraud. They
proposed if the city would give them
credit on back taxes and wipe out
all against them, they would COM
mence paying taxes. The vote was
taken and their delinquency was
forgiven.
DR.. Mcmahon wanted the city
council to give him some of State

Another War with Spain.

Some newspapers think the Span.

to seize Cuba and Porto Rico again,
and get back what they lost during
the late war. We do not believe
these rumors. Enemies cannot sue

the United States. Neither can
diseases successfully attack strong

to sciendu for making strong con-
