WAsHINGToN, DC. July 13.-A
special meeting of the cabinet has
been called, and the members are
now arriving.
The war conference with See
retaries Day, Alger and Long and
Admiral Sicard and Capt. Mahan
participating, has been in continu-
Gus session all forenoon.
Important dispatches are being
considered
The conference related to health
conditions in the army before San
tiago.
Information received to-day
from the 9TH army corps indicated
that there was danger of fever at
Sibony and other points.
The exact state of thing reported
cannot be learned, and it NAV be
that the reticence regarding the
conference was due to lack of de-
finite advices as to whether fever
had actually broken out.
The following statement from Sam
Cochran, of Kittanning, expresses the
sentiment of the majority of Republi-
cans throughout the State: ''I believe in
one ring myself, with everybody inside
"a ring big enough to take in the whole
party. But there are always q lot of
fellows who get out over the ropes and
howl at those inc;dc and call them cor
rupt ringsters. Then they form a little
ring of their own and pass a resolution
to the effect that their own ring, COM
posed of the awkward SQUAD who fell
over the ropes, is all right, and that the
big ring is a seething mass of cor
ruption."
Comrade Rufus Herbert Lucore, of
w. p. Scott Post. Tonawanda, N. Y,

A writer in an exchange we'll says:
| Too tightly built houses are not healthy.
Almost every morning some one is
found dead in bed Died for want of
| pure, fresh air. But our education
does not teach us now to live. Great,
| large windows are made in our fine
houses; not to let in light and air, but
for show, and great, costly blinds are
hung over them so as to shut out life
and light.

While Peter Santer was rolling his
buckwheat ground few days ago the
seat broke down, throwing him behind
the roller. The lines got under the
roller, causing the horses to back the
roller upon HIM, breaking two of his
ribs and cutting him about the head.
-[Wellsboro Agitator
A man claiming to be authorized by
the Government to buy horses for the
army is said to be swindling farmers
His game is alleged to be to pay with
worthless check larger sums than are
asked for horses, getting the difference
back in cash.
They say that bleaching the hair leads
to softening of the brain, but there are
many who think that it is the reverse,
and that softening of the brain leads to
bleaching of the hair.
