Your Stationary.

1t is getting to he the proper thing
FOR farmers as well as merchants and
other business men to have printed sta
tionary. And we can see no reason
why they should not take their proper
place among business men by adopting
business methods in as many ways rs
possible There is combination Of
business and sentiment in giving your
farm name like Valley View Place. -
Maple Spring Farm Hillside. or
something of the kind, AZ it lends a GER
tain dignity and individuality to the
Place, an increased sense of pride IN the
proprietorship thereof. rs well rs add
tonal importance in the eyes of produce
dealers or commission merchants with
whom you are dealing. A small invest
ment in printed stationary giving your
residence and business such as breed
ing Of thoroughbred stock, the maniac
ture of dairy produce, etc, might prove
of no slight advantage to you, as well
as giving certain degree OF satisfac-
ton. And when you conclude TO have
some note heads and envelopes printed
remember that the same can be had Mt
the CITIZEN Office as cheap and good as
anyw here.

Remain Outside.
Published by request. ]

Published by request
Lines suggested by seeing young men
outside the church during service.
As we today in the church did meet,
And sadly thought of the painful truth,
That the companions of our youth
The pride of many parents heart,
Could thus with the scoffer bear part;
And letting the precious moments glide
So thoughtlessly,
Still remain outsidel
We saw with pride that few there were
Whose brows were not marked by age
or care,
Who waited to hear the word today;
Nor did with the thoughtless numbers
stray,
And we felt their lives would brighter
be,
And happier far, their eternity
Than theirs though the doors be open
wide,
Who still will choose
To remain outsidel
But, OH young men, when your youth
And it's brightest hopes are withered
and dead
When age has drawn its lines on your
brow,
And your limbs are no longer as active
as now
Will the thought of the hours now idled
away
Brighton the hours of declining day4
And will you recall, with pleasant pride,
The days when you choose
To remain outsider
And when death has stilled your now
beating heart
And from all your loved ones on earth
you must part,
And you at the bar of the Just must ap
pear,
To render an account of the deeds done
here;
And when you gaze on the land of th'
blest-
See others enter into the place of rest
And see the pearly gates, as they opeI
wide,
Will you then be content
To remain outside?

HARRISBURG

The laying of the cornerstone OF the
new capitol took place at noon yester-
day in the presence of a large gathering.
The grand lodge of Masons Of Pennsyl-
vania were in charge, and some of the
most distinguished men of the State
were present to honor the occasion. A
heavy rain fell during the ceremonies,
and yet it did not dampen the ardor OF
those who took part.
The cornerstone is that used in the
historic capitol destroyed by fire in Feb
ruary, 1897. The guests OF the capitol
building commission included State
officials, judges of the supreme and su-
perior courts and members Of the Legis-
lature.
At the close of the ceremonies COLA
tion was served in the supreme court
chamber. Colonel A. K. Mcclure, OF
Philadelphia, who delivered the oration
at the laying Of the stone, was enter
tanned at luncheon that afternoon by
Governor Hastings at the executive
mansion.

WAR RECORD


On Friday our army entered Quay
anna, after a skirmish, the Spanish
forces retreating, and, according TO re-
mort throwing their dead into well.
The Spanish Cabinet was yet consider
ing the terms Of peace and Mckinley
and his Cabinet were anxiously await
the answer.
During the latter part Of last week so
many cases of yellow fever appeared IN
the army at Santiago, that it was de-
cided to send Gen. Skaters army home
az soon as the Spanish prisoners were
embarked for their own country. Two
regiments of cavalry left Santiago for
the q. s., Sunday.
On Monday the reply of the Spanish
government to the peace conditions
arrived in Washington in seven sections
all in cipher-and the French en-
bassy was kept busy deciphering It.
A fight occurred that evening in the
outskirts of Manila between some Span
ish troops and the 10th Reg. P. V. |. in
which the Spanish were repulsed with
heavy loss. Our loss was put at 9 kill
ed and "A wounded.
Tuesday afternoon the French minis
ter at Washington and his secretary
appeared at the White House and pre-
sented President Mckinley with copy
of Spain's answer to his peace terms IL
English. The President and Secretary
Day discussed the matter with the two
Frenchmen for an hour and half, bu'
afterwards gave out no news The
Spanish reply is understood to have
been very lengthy, going into details
and insists that the Uuited States
retains control of Cuba in order to &C.
cure Spanish interests in the island
On Tuesday word reached this
country via Hong Kong of a battle
that had been fought at Manila on July
31st and Aug 1st and 2nd between three
: or four regiments Of our volunteers and
5000 Spanish troops, in which we hah

while the Spanish losses we put at 35t
killed and and 900 wounded
1t seems that the Spanish garrison at
Manila took advantage of local feast
or holy day to attack our lines, when
the insurgeants would not fight, but
they were repulsed. The battle was
fought during tremendous rain storm.
Several members of the 10th regiment
whose homes are in Washington and
Westmoreland county were killed.
Yesterday Secretary Day and Ambas
sador Cambon agreed upon a protoco
of peace which includes the evacuation
of Cuba, the cession of all the othel
Spanish West Indies to the United
States, and the cession of the Ladrone'
to the u S.,-the PHILIPPINES and Other
matters to be left to Peace Commission
