A Candidates Troubles.

A question has arisen i'm this con-
gressional district over the manner of
counting votes which occasions Rev.
T.. f. Dixon, Prohibition candidate,
some trouble. He was nominated
this year by that party but the State
Department at Harrisburg returned
the certificate for the reason that the
official retuans failed to show any
vote for the Prohibition party for
Congress two years ago. The facts
were that Hon. w. S. kirkpatrick
was nominated by both the Prohibi-
tionists and Republicans and when
the official returns We're sent in all the
votes were merged in the Republican
column giving the Judge 1856.
Now Mr.. Jones, State Chairman,
holds that if this vote was merged,
the Prohibition party, so far as a
nomination certificate is concerned is
entitled to the credit of the entire
vote. There are four counties in this
district and one returned an average
of more than 900 for the Prohibi-
tion candidates, and the number re-
quired to nominate by certificate is
500.

PICKED UP BY THE RAMBLER.


Somebody came very near catch
ing something nice for attending to
duty Next thing will be something
else.
Mrs. Geo. McCarty and family,
of Montague, visited relatives over
here last Sunday.
Glad to see John Tremp out again.
Sorry to hear that Ross Van Auken
does not improve.
Always do right, live right, and
when meeting anyone in the road
be sure and turn to the right.
Is the little dog still among the
missing?
White kittens are in demand.
Hereafter no game can be killed
in New Jersey and taken out of the
state. Penalty twenty dollars.
That measure was passed by the
Legislature of New Jersey which is
strongly Republican. Better have
Democrats, Populists, or Prohlbi-
tionists repeal that law before some
poor hunter gets his foot in it.
1 am glad Sandyston agrees with
us on the Chinese question. Doub-
ly glad to note the remark in your
last weeks church column regarding
tile influence city people have on
our churches. Nothing 1 have
heard uttered in pulpit was more
out of place than n remark made by
a speaker in one of the churches
here not long ago chat CITY people
degraded town" That speaker
was talking through his hat.
1 do not believe that a resident of
Pike county was guilty of the act of
swiping the flag on the evening of
Sunday 25 of Aug. last at Cummins.
Sleep baby sleep. But don't lay
down in the middle of the sidewalk.
Squire in last weeks Herald re-
marks "Rambler can take care of
himself and then asks Sandyston
where 200 dollars were saved, and
what became of the books belonging
to the Fuller school. Why James
there were 200 dollars dumped into
the treasury of Sandyston last year
by the state of New Jersey, that be-
ing the amount allowed for every
teacher employed. The township by
closing the school saved that much
minus the cost of transporting the
children to another school. But
this year the shoe pinches to reopen
the school. As appropriations are
always based on the returns of the
proceeding year the township will
tall short 200 dollars which if the
school is opened will have to be
raised by special tax this year.
When Montague employed an assist
ant teacher for the Brick house the
money necessary to pay the assist
ant the first year was raised by spec
ial tax, this year it comes from the
state. Capitalization may be all
right for some but very inconven-
lent for others.
Sorry to note that Mrs. VIM. Stru-
BILE and Mrs. II. Ludwig are both in.
disposed. DR., Barckley attends
both.
What has become of the annual
Camp meeting which used to hold
forth in the Glen?
During the past warm spell there
appears to have been a kind of
friendly rivalry among men aud
woman to see who could stand the
most hot sun. You see women with
bare arms almost burned to a Bills
ter, their heads without covering to
see how much tan there was in Pike
county sun. The boys to offset tried
their best to appear in undress, as
near rs possible. No hat, no coat,
and shirts without sleeves. Verify
this is a time of queer fashions.
