PECKVILLE.

A committee from the Wilson Fire
company will attend council meeting
this evening for the purpose Of bring
ing before that body subject that has
been discussed in the fire laddie circle
for some time, that is, the purchase OF
a team of horses to be used in pulling
the fire apparatus to and from a fire.
At present the firemen are obliged to
haul their carts by hand, and there
have been times when in responding to
alarms on the outskirts they could not
get their carts to the fire on account Of
the heavy carts sinking so heavily in
the mud. If council would purchase
team and let such team do borough work
and be kept at the hose house il would
save the borough money at the end Of
each year. Another proposition that
Will be advanced is that the fire COM
pany purchase team, the borough to
pay for the keeping The time has
come when council should show their
appreciation of our fire laddies, and
whatever action council takes TO favor
the firemen will meet the approval OF
the citizens.

Bees from the Philippines.

From the Chicago Tribune.
There is ono race inhabiting the Philip

American citizenship and will be afforded
every facility and inducemcnt to immi-
crate to the United States ana engage in

This is the giant East Indian honey bee,
and investigation of its work and inn
mcnse capacity for making honey and
wax has interested the Department pf
| Agriculture in the consideration of an
early effort to introduce it into the Unit

connection with the proposed importation
| Of these bees to the United States that q

and n swarm of the big Philippine honey

soon as the question of their value ana

also be an appropriation requested for the
study of the agricultural and kindred

tinued happiness, while from many
states came congratulations and low

some presents was over $50 in gold coin.

THIS AND THAT.

1t is probable that for the first time
in our history the United States will
this year be surpassed by Russia as a
producer of petroleum. Reducing the
totals to the common standard of me-
tric tons, we produced In 1897 a total
of 7,T0S 236 tons, while the quantity re-
ported for Russia was 100000 tons.
For the first half Of last year, how
ever, according to Russian official fig
ures quoted by the "Chemilker Zeit-
ung," the output was 1898, 300 metric
tons, which points TO a total for the
year approximating 100000 tons. The
output of the United States for 1898
will not differ greatly from that of
1897; if anything will be somewhat
less, so that we may expect to fall to
the second place The Russian growth
is the more remarkable, as produc-
ton in that country continues prac-
tically confined to the small area of
the Apsheron Peninsula, and no new
fields of Importance have been opened
The imports of American iron and
steel into Germany showed a notable
increase last year. according to the
official returns, the total imports for
the full year 1897 included 20S3S tons
of iron and steel in various forms and
II .652 tons of machinery, while for the
eight months OF the current year tO
the end of August, the totals were
1904 tons of iron and steel and l6, 1876
tons of machinery. Thus, while the
business in raw material indicates a
considerable growth, that in machinery
was actually much greater in amount
for the eight months than for the whole
of last year. Comparing the figures
for eight months the imports Of Amer
lean machinery SHOWS an increase OF
IS per cent; and they formed this yeai
2S per cent. of the total from all coun-
tries, against Is per cent, last year
This growth in trade has been a rapid
one, and is causing the German manu-
facturers uuch concern.
The last season of navigation, out of
Buffalo, was a good one. The total ship
ments for the year reached 2,455, ,19l
tons. OF this amount 1,O73,771 or nearly
one-half went to Chicago. OF the re-

mainder 534, 500 tons went to Mil
waukee 297,S0S to Duluth and 2lS,2l2
tons to Superior. The rest of the ship
ments We're divided among As other
ports. One new shipping point made its
appearance during the year-DepOt
Harbor-- and it took mn tons. The
heaviest shipments We're made during
August, when 443925 tons were moved,
September being the next best month
wl.n 396,Sl5 tens. Freight rates were
steady during almost the entire sea-
son, the 20-cent rate prevailing almost
continuously until the close. The re-
cord for big cargOes was broken, there
having been four larger than 5000

DON'T NEGLECT.
A COMMON CASE OF PILES.
1t May Lead to Serious Results.

When people generally understand
that all such fatal diseases as fistula,
ulcer of the rectum, flssure, etc, almost
invariably begin in a simple case OF
Piles, they will learn the wisdom OF
taking prompt treatment for the first
appearance of trouble in this quarter
The Pyramid Pile Cure will certainly
cure every form of piles, itching, bleed
ing protruding or blind piles, and hun
dreds of lives have been saved by using
this cheap but effective remedy right
at the start, because at such a time a
single package will affect q cure while
I'm the old chronic, deep seated cases,
several packages are sometimes neces-
sary before a lasting cure is affected.
Physicians are using the Pyramid
Pile Cure in preference to surgical
operations and with uniform success.
The remedy is prepared by the Pyramid
Drug Co, of Marshall, Mich, and for
sale by druggists everywhere at 80
cents and 81 per package.
