CATARRlI CAN BE CURED

BY cradiciing from the blood the
scrofulous taints which cause it. Hood s
Sarsaparilla cures catarrh, promptly
and permantely, because it strikes at
the root OF the trouble.
The rich, pure blood Which it makes,
circulating through the delicate pas
sages Of the mucous membrane, soothes
and rcbuiils the tissues, giving them a
tendeLc, - health instead Of disease,
and ultimately curing the affection.
At the same time Hoods Sarsaps-
rilla strengthens, inyigoratcs and ener-
giz.s the whole system and makes the
dcbilitated victim of catarrh feel that
new life has been impaired.
De not daily with snulfs, inhalants
or other local applications, but take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and cure catarrh
absolutely and surely by removing the
causes which produce it.

THE FARM MANS BURDEN.

Take up the farm mans burden,
Send Off the best you've got,
Unto the city markets
For some one else's pot.
Go meet your daily labOrs
In brown Kentucky jeans,
You're sure to get living,
Ifoll pork and beans.
Take up the farm mans burden
And sing your little song,
No matter if your work days
Are eighteen hours long.
Don't holler if your products
Don't bring you what they're worth;
You've Rural Free Delivery
You can't expect the earth.
Take up the farm mans burden
And bear it with grin;
Go work with mind and muscle
While the sweat rolls off your chin.
Quit cussin' those Republicans;
Don't blame the Democrats,
There are lots of chances open
Why don't you raise "tomats?'
Take up the farm mans burden,
Then with perspiring brow,
Go juggle with the harrow
And wrestle with the plow.
Don't fret about your trouble,
Put on a smiling face,
The next electric road, perhaps,
Will ccme right through your place.
Take up the farm mans burden
And bear it with will,
(There wouldn't be no hollow
If theIe wasn't any hill;
So when the load gets heavy,
just whistle up tune;
Good times are on the road now,
They'll get here pretty soon.

The Raid on St. Albans.
THE HEROINES PART IN CHARLES
COUNTY, MARYLAND.

An article in one of the Baltimore
papers recently gave a lengthy history
of the underground telegraph, 'Nestab-
lished during the Civil war between
the South and her sympathizers, on
the north bank of the Potomac. Mary
land had twenty-five thousand men in
the Confederate States Army and many
more sympathizers in the cause of the
South within her borders.
After the Reverned Kensey John
Stewart, a relative of the great General
Robert E. Lee, was banished from
Alexandria because he insisted that
Virginia was part of the Confederacy,
and, in obedience to the orders of the
Bishop of that State, he prayed for the
health and success of President Davis,
according TO the forms in tie Episco-
pal Prayer Book, the writer shows
what a conspicuous part this reverend
gentleman took in establishing this
system of communicating wills friends"
in the North, and of the many narrow
escapes ''by flood and field he had in
this work. The writer then introduces
the heroine from Charles county, Miss
Olivia Floyd, and recites the following
episode:
In the fall of 1864 there occurred
the daring raid by handful of Con-
federates from Canada on the town of
St. Adams, in Vermont. This expedi-
tion was carried out by twenty-one
Confederate officers and soldiers who
had escaped from Northern prisons,
and was organized by the brave and
daring young Kentuckian, Col. Bennett
H. Young. The undertaking was
planned in the Confcderacy and had
the full approval OF the Confederate
Government. The twenty-one bold
men, all fully armed, went by rail from
Canada to St. Albans, and there at the
hotel, where they took rooms, they
made their arrangements to get pos
session of the money from the five
banks OF the town. They divided the
party, a certain number going to each
bank at fixed hour, (2.30 o'clock in
the afternoon). The bank officers,
completely taken by surprise, made no
resistance. eve are from the Confed-
eracy," said one of the raiders, "and
we'll just take charge of this bank and
run it," The amazed and unarmed
bankers opened their vaults without
word, and S243,0O0 changed hands,
transferred from the Federal banks to
the exhausted Golfers of the Confeder-
acy. In order to secure themselves.
the raiders captured all the men they
INST, and without firing shot they
marched their 800 prisoners to the cel.-
tire of the town. Only one man was
killed, and that was by accident. The
citizens of St. Albans, a town of 1000
inhabitants, were completely y paral yzed
at finding themselves, in their remote
ness from the Confederacy and the
theatre Of war, suddenly, without
moment Of warning: feeling the mailed
hand of the Southern enemy reaching
down to them from the British domin-
ions on their northern border.
But when the Confederatcs had left
the town and were making their way
back to Canada, the whole State was
aroused, and the people turned out en-
mosse to capture the daring raiders.
Twenty Ave thousand men, it was said,

WHY so MISSHAPEN?

He looked up from the article he
was reading with the superior air that
man invariably assumes when he
thinks he has discovered something
that seems to reflect on the Judgment
or common sense of woman. "An
authority of our sex,' he said, "asserts
that woman's arms are so crooked and
she is generally misshapen in this day
and generation, Because Of the outland-
sh way she dresses, and she hasn't
sense enough to know 1t. ''Naturally,
she replied "Why naturally?' 2 he
demanded. Because she explained,
there never was one 80 misshapen yet
that some fool man wouldn't call her
an angel and in other ways warp her
judgment"
He (tellng hairbreadth adven-
ture)-.' -.'And in the bright moonlight
we could see the dark muzzles of the
wolves
She (breathlessly)-"Oh, how glad
you must have been that they had the
muzzles on!

We regret to be compelled to report, after
a thorough study of the system Of county
accounts, that 1t is imperfect and mislead-
ing. It was only after great labor that we
were able to make an analysis and classif-
cations of the accounts that will with some
degree of accuracy show the application OF
the county funds. We believe 1t TO be Of
the highest importance that more improv-
ed methods of accounting be introduced in
the county offices.
We beg to renew the recommendation in
our report of last year that the period of
the annual audit be changed from Jannary
to July. The county's fiscal year, strictly
speaking, closes on June 30th, and an
audit to that date would show with greater
certainty the state of the county finances.

NEUROLOGY
MRS. NARY ANDERSON KELLY.

MRS. MARY ANDERSON KELLY.
The sympathetic heart of Middietown
was never more generally and more deeply
stirred than it was yesterday morning
when announcement was made that Mrs.
George FL. Kelly, nee Miss Mary W. Ander-
son, had died Thursday evening, July goth,
in Butte, Montana, after child birth. The
news was a great shock to the community
for all who had known the deceased ad
mired her character and those who knew
her best loved her most. Her sister, Miss
Bessie Anderson, was in Philadelphia at
the time, returning home yesterday morn
ing accompanied by her friend, Miss Laura
Buckle.
Mary. w. Anderson was born Dec. 2, 1865,
the daughter of Charles E. and Eliza Ander-
son, whose lives were spent in Middletown.
She was married on Oct. IL, last to George
Fl. Kelly, of Butte. Montana, fomeriy of
Middletown. Her life has been beautiful
one-gentle, generous, kind, c3nsiderate
The writer never knew more lovely char
acter-so womanly, SO true 50 sincere in
every particular. She was woman Of in
telligence and of Christian fidelity. Her
church was a part Of her life But the
most marked characteristic was the bond
OF union between her and her sister. They
for years lived for each other apd the sept
ration only nine months since was hard to
bear and in the longer separation Provi
dence has decreed the burden Of bereayed
heart is with the living. The consolation
fyears Of sisterly affection. of the Chris
tian life of the departed one, of the universal
sympathy offriends, must ever remain, and
as theyears grow apace the solace viii be
tn sweeter.
/ Mr.. Kelly telegraphed that be would
bring the body to Middletown for inter-
ment. 1t is not known at this writing
when he will arrive but all the notice pos
sible to friends will be given through the
Philadelphia Record and the Whining
ton papers. The shortest time possible fol
the journey is four days, and there may be
delays after the sad journey is begun.

SKETCH OF COLONEL wATREs.
What a Writer in the Philadelphia
Inquirer Thinks of Him.

The Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday
contained snap shot picture of Hon.
L. A. Watres and the following sketch
of him:
From the ranks of the humble work
ers of the coal mines of Lackawauna
county he rose to be lieutenant COVER
nor of the commonwealth, and today
he is one of the wealthiest and most
successful coal operators of the state,
a lawyer of marked ability and pow
er in the financial interests of Nor'h-
eastern Pennsylvania. Briefly, that Is
the story of the honorable career of
Colonel Louis Arthur Watres, pf
Scranton. Governor" Watres. as he
is familiarly known throughout the
state, is man of marked individuality
and positive character. He was thrown
upon his own resources early and with
wonderful energy and determinatio1 I
educated himself and rapidly forged
to the front. He denied himself many
pleasures and studied law at night ar.
ter he was through with his regular
labors, and not long after he was ad-
mitted to practice he was elected coun-
ty solicitor of Lackawanna.
Then he was sent to the state SEN
ate for two terms, and in $780, although
the Republican candidate for governor
was defeated by 1900, he was elected
lieutenant governor by a plurality of
over $4,000 votes. He was the Re-
publican state chairman in the success
full campaign Of 1891. For fifteen
years he has been actively identified
with the national guard. was inspector
of rifle practice under Governor Beav-
er and was recently elected colonel of
the Thirteenth regiment, N. G. P. Few
men are more intimately connected
with the electric light. traction, water
and financial corporations of Lacka-
wanna than is Governor Watres. He
is of modest and retiring disposition
and is devoted to an interesting family
including three children. He was 4S
years old last April

WILL GIVE THREE LECTURES.
Rev. I. j. Lansing to Speak for the
Ladies' Aid Society.

Rev. I. ]. Lansing will given three
popular lectures in October for the
benefit of the Ladies' Aid society of
the Green Ridge Presbyterian church.
The subjects will be Physical Gull
ture or the Training of the Body for
the Uses of the Soul" Oct. 10, Ideals
and Foundation Principles" Oct II,
Helps and Apparatus; Including Gym
nasiums and Accessories" Oct. "a.
Right Movements and Reasons for
the Same"
Mr.. Lansing has given this subject
many years of most careful and
thoughtful study, having examined
and made use of many of the best of
all known systems. The results of all
these experiments and observations he
will summarize in a few simple and
Ineligible lectures the value of which
can easily be verified by those who
are desirous of deriving strength and
health from Natures method of build
ing up the human body. The lecturer
will illustrate the method which he
indorses and will teach plainly the
principles of self culture which any
one can follow out to his own advan-
tage. A greater privilege than to hear
these lectures would be difficult to set
before the residents of Green Ridge.

HE rs NOT THE MAN.
McKeever's Field Suicide Is Not
Dennis Phillips,

Detective Moir received a letter yes
terday from n. b. Phillips, of Sugar
Notch, Franconia, N. H., in answer
to a letter sent last week by Chief
Robling in regard to the finding of the
bundle of letters and the statement
signed Dennis Phillips in Lohmann's
hotel
In it Mr.. Phillips states that the
handwriting in the statement is his
brothers. but that the photograph Cf
the suicide found in McKeever's field
is entirely unlike his brother. The
clerk al Lohmann's was evidently mis-
taken when he said that the man who
left the bundle was a tall, stout man,
like the one who committed suicide
The identity of the latter is still a
mystery. as are also the whereabouts
of Dennis Phillips, his brother stat
