Important Notice.

BLOOMSBURY, Pa, Aug. 2, 1898.
In view of the fact that adhesive
stamps have been received by T. F.
Penman Collector of Internal Revenue
at Scranton, Pa, in sufficient quanti-
ties to supply the demands OF all tax
payers who may need them, there will
be no reason in the future why busi-
ness men who sell proprietary articles
shall not comply with the law on ac-
count of failure to secure the proper
stamps. Notice is hereby given that
the law requiring stamps to be affixed
to articles enumerated in the war
Revenue Act of June I3, 1898, will
be strictly enforced. All parties who
have failed to pay the tax on account
of their failure to procure stamps,
should at once submit written STAT
ment of all articles sold by them with
the retail price of each, SO that the
tax may be determined and an assess
ment made for the same.
RoBT. BUCKINGHAM,
Deputy Collector.

SCARLET FOR JUDGE.

The Republicans of Montour coun-
ty held their county convention last
Saturday, and among other things,
nominated James Scarlet Esq, for
Judge. Upon being notified Mr..
Scarlet appeared before the conven-
ton and made the following remarks :
"GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION :
i am deeply sensible of the honor
conferred on me by the people
through you. To merit the esteem
and appreciation of ones fellow-citi-
zens is one of life's greatest pleasures,
and an assurance that one has not
lived wholly in vain. To be chosen
as a candidate for the position of
Judge, to sit in these halls and ad-
minister Justice, bespeaks a conf
dence in me which having won I will
never betray. l began the practice
of the law in these courts twenty years
ago, under one of the most illustrious,
dignifed and just judges that ever
graced the bench. l learned to prac-
tice law with such men as Comfy and
Baldy, two of the brightest ornaments
of the bar of Pennsylvania and no
act of mine as your candidate shall
dim the lustre of this bar, or discredit
the action you have taken. l accept
the nomination, not from any selfish
ambition, though it is an ambition
which any lawyer may worthily enter
tain, but from sense of duty which I
owe to the party and the people, and
to myself as member of this bar, in
an effort to redeem the judiciary of
this district from the control of design
ing politicians. So long as the con-
stitution and laws are honestly and
fearlessly administered in all of our
courts, the country is safe and the
rights of the people are secure. When
the judiciary is corrupt, when justice
is administered through fear or favor,
then, indeed, is the beginning of the
end. Now, more than ever, comes
the demand for integrity In nigh
places. The country is entering upon
an era of expansion, is surging for
ward to fulfill its destiny, and to per-
petuate it without impairment of its
high design, the rights of the citizen
and the stranger within our gates must
be preserved. am convinced from
the moral fibre displayed by our
heroes in the present war, that at its
close the people will the more deeply
feel the necessity of stamping out the
spirit of corruption which seeks to
pervade the avenue of judicial admin
istration and sap the integrity of the
nation. By the power which you
have this day placed within my hands,
the trust you have reposed in me as
your candidate, so far as in my power
lies will see to it that the walls
which have echoed to the voice of an
Elwell, Comfy and a Badly shall not
become the sport of unholy hands and
impure impulse. With this mission
before me, 1 have accepted your
nomination, and with unfalterlng pur-
pose will protect the trust you have
this day confded to my hands,"

Does Baby
hrive?

IF your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of Scott's
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott's Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
Ask yoar doctor If this rs not fyss.

Century riding is cruel recrea-
ton as indulged in on Sundays by
many clerks, book-keepers, and
others, who stand at counters or
desks six days in a week, with
scarcely any outdoor exercise.
They are in no sort of condition
to ride one hundred miles at a
stretch, and the frequent results of
this sort of OVERRIDING are insomnia,
staleness, and general un6tness for
work, physical or mental.

Five Year Old Girl and Sister We're
Playing Around the Fire Place
When the Formers Dress L.

Absent.

Special to THE srN.
GEoRGETowN, DEL, Feb. G.-The five
year old daughter Of Abner Messick,
colored, was burned to death yesterday
near Shortley ina fire that destroyed
the house in which Messick lived.
Abner Messick is an empl"ye Of VIM
gate Elliott, a prominent fa lner living
on his farm near Shottley, a town about
six miles south of this place.
Messick resided in tenant llnuse on
the farm with his wife and tive children,
aged five and three years respectively.
Yesterday the mother went to a neigh
boris house nearly mile from her home
and left the two children at home.
1t is supposed that the children were
paying around the open fireplace when
the eldest girls dress ignited, and there
by started the fire. The child, living
torch, feel upon the floor and in this way
the carpet soon caught fire, and in
another minute the entire room was in
Il blaze.
The younger child made her escape
and hastened to her mother, nearly .
mile distant, to inform her of the calam-
ity. The little one was in a fainting
condition when she arrived at the
neighbor's house, and frightened 80
badly she could not tell about the fire.
Finally by gestures she made known the
fate of her sister, and the mother, ac-
colnpanied by her neighbor, rushed to
the door, from which place they saw the
burning Messick home.
When they reached the burning struc-
ture they found that they we've too late
and that nothing could be done to save
the life of the tive-year old child.
The building and all its contents were
totally DESTROYED and while it was being
consumed two friends of the crased
mother had to hold her to prevent her
from rushing into certain death in the
hope Of saving her child.
When the father returned ne and SONS
friends searched among the ruins for the
remains Of his child and found only
few charred bones.
