EuttOr fTeSS:-
The Sinnemahoning Liars Club, Jr.,
held regular meeting last night, with
w. II. Michaels in the chair. After a
hot debate the club visited the senior
organization in body, which hap
pened to be in session same night,
found Pap Berfield working hold to
the old club together. Hanscom struck
Joe Summerson in the eye with a quid
of tobacco, which came near raising
row. Belden came in and restored
peace with promises of refreshments
after adjournment. Harve Smith re-
ported that some of the Emporium
club visited our little town last week
f. X. Blumle and w. L. Thomas. After
four hours ofhard work they succeeded
in knocking out Joe M. .and Geo. .Shafer,
members of the old club. Billy's next
move was Wyside. Here he ran up
against Pap Blodget and he discovered
he had found tartar. The old man
was almost done for when o. l.. Bailey
came to his assistance. They COM
pletely knocked out William in less
than ten minutes. when he departed in
search of bass, taking John Logue
along, who reported catch of fifty
pounds. Norman Johnson says he was
an eye witness TO the catch and says
all they had was one poor club and a
sucker.
We have been looking for that report
from Gardeau club. They have first
class material there for such an organ
ization. If they fail all they have to do
is to take the trolley line down to Siz-
erville, where Martindale and Will
Crawford are watching for them. But
there is no necessity for this. There is
N. G. Strum, he is dandy and has
had sixteen years experience to my
certain knowledge and carries the belt
of two states, earned before he struck
Mexican county. Fred thinner is not
too slow. Too bad Giles Allard has
left there for he was Nick's assistant
Pap Blodgett don't like the idea of
going up to Sizerville without the
shining lights, Dalrymple and Mike Nc
Graw. They can face anything except
one of Blumle's cases.
Tom Snyder set up the tobacco, when
the Club adjourned to Joe MS private
parlor for refreshments.

Twas a Great Year,

The last fiscal year was hum
mer.
Commercially it was year to
cause every American to grow
several inches every time he thinks
of it.
The country's exports reached
nearly a billion and quarter
dollars.
Exports of manufactured articles
were simply phenomenal.
Steel manufacturers are refusing
orders because they have more than
they can do.
In spite of the increase in ma
terial contractors and builders in
cities and towns are having busy
time of it.
Mills, shops and factories are
working over time to keep up with
orders.
Commercial agencies report fewer
business failures than in any of the
past seventeen years.
Liabilities of those who failed
are less than in any year since
1881.
Such commercial activity was
never known before.
Times are good, money plenty
and all but the regulation croakers
are satisfied. .-Ex.

Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain. Plainfield, III. =,
makes the statement, that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for month by her family

could cure her. Her druggist suggested
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption; she bought bottle and to
her delight found herself benefited
from first dose. She continued its use
and after taking three bottles, found
herself sound and well; now does her
own housework, and is as well as she
ever was. Free trial bottles of this

The attempt tOassassinate Maitre
Labori, counsel for Dreyfus, in
Rcnnes on Monday morning was d
most dastardly and cowardly affair,
and it will certainly react on the
men who instigated it. There can
be no doubt that the royalists and
friends OF the army officers under
suspicion of having condemned
Droyfus uniustly took this means
of depriving Dreyfus of his most
valuable counsel, but fortunately
they failed. The latest accounts
say that Labori may recover, and
that the Dreyfus court martial will
90 on. But how weak must the
cause be that is bolstered up by the
assassin's pistol. The French
army has already lost its case. The
crack of the pistol shot that
wounded Labori sounded the
death-knell of royalism in France
for all time to come. But that is
was just like nce.-Harrisburg

ARMY BILL COMPROMISE.
Reported That There II u Hitch over
Increase of stan.


Washington Feb. 25.-It Is reported
there has been a hitch in the progress
of the army reorganization bill owing to
the refusal of the Democrats to accept
that provision of the compromise bill
which carries with it the increase OF
staff provided for in the Hull bill.
The president has repeatedly stated to
the officials and representatives who
had consulted him on the subject that
he regarded this particular provision as
Indispensable, saying the weakness Of
the staff under the old organization had
been revealed by the war with Spain.
There was a good deal of activity in
army circles during the day as we'll as
among the senators who have been try
ing to secure an agreement which shall
guarantee the passage of the reorgani-
cation bill.
1t was said that the terms of the bill
in some Of it's most important provi-
sions are not yet generally known. 1t
was stated by persons who had been
parties to the conference that it was
deemed inexpedient to have the matter
discussed too openly at this stage. 1t
was admitted that the provision relat-
t:g to the $4,000 men to constitute the
nucleus of the army had been misstated.
The plan on that point was that the
present regular army. $1,000 men. should
be increased permanently by the addi-
ton of about 10000 men, including two
batteries of light artillery to each of the
existing regiments. making the total
strength of the United States army on a
peace footing $1,000 men.
To meet the present conditions in the
Philippine and other islands where mil
itary forces are necessarily maintained
the president is authorized to continue
the regular army on it's present basis of
62,0 900 men until 1901 if need be. Then
the regular army would be diminished
to $4,000 men in the absence of further
legiSlat ton.
