Consumption, died in that city, Sun
day evening, November Is, 1900. The
report came only II few days before that
his health was improving, and that
their household goods were to be ship
ped to the MetroDolis of the Rocky
Mountain region. Hon. G.. Alfred
Schoch, his uncle, Monday received a
letter from the deceased written last
Wednesday. While it was not expect
ed that he could live long, yet the sud-
den summons was surprise to Attor-
ney Pawling's many friends in this
County.
He was born in Penn township, the
second son of l. ,wis f.. and Amanda
Diana (Schoch) Pawling. Albert s.
and Emanuel F.. are the surviving
brothers and Susan, Alice and Dclilah
Elizabeth are the Surviving sisters.
Deceased graduated from Missionary
Institute (now SuSquchanna Universe

lcgc June 1880 and was admitted to
practice at the bar Of Snyder County

March 10, lS9S to Harriet Richter, of
Sclinsgrovc. The remains started for
the East Monday evening and are cx-

death in the Snyder County bar with

THE LIVE STOCK TRADE.
Iarmers Who Would Re Successful
Must Note the Changing Wants
of the Market.

The changing wants Of the live
stock market go on almost i'm
perceptibly, but they are followed
more closely In sharp competitive
times like the present, than in the
past when +hs volame of live stock
was SO large that dealers were not
obliged to note closely trivial features
Of the market. For instance, a few
years ago, hogs avera. a.ed heitVi r than
they do now and the heavy or lard
making kind were more salable be-
cause The lard was in good demand
at comparatively better money-mak-
ing prices than at the present. The
use Of cotton seed oil with lard has
helped TO keep down lard prices.
People used more clear pork years
ago; now the general demand Is for
Workers. and medium weight hogs.
For some time there has been q search
ty of bacon and prices have held rath-
er firm with good demand. One rea-
son for this is that bacon hogs are
not so easy to get, as they must be
long and feshy, but not fat, and aver
age $50 to $50 pounds. These condi-
tions depend on the feed. In Canada
the farmers feed PEGS and pea meal
so generally in preference to corn,
which is higher for them than for
us, that they produce bacon hogs and
they get better price for them,
The cured bacon brings n higher price
In Canada by three to four cents than
It does here.
The point TO be remembered by the
producer is to mark well the changing
conditions of the trade ana to follow
them very closely by every means
of information possible. You can't
get 700 much information about a
market. You may pride yourself on
the fine quality of the hogs you feed
and on your skill, otherwise on your
farm, but II you fail, from lack Of
market knowledge, to get fair price
for your products, you are throwing
away money that you might just as
well save. A study Of the conditions
of the live stock trade shows that
there are many changes, and, surpris-
Ing as it may seem, that many ship
pers will persist in ignoring the facts
after they are repeatedly instructed.
Don't be backward about grasping the
situation, loading yourself with facts
in regard TO markets to which you
ship, and you will then discover why
some Of your bright friends get bet
ter prices sometimes than you do

Hon. John Wanamaker comes in for
good share of abuse from the Quay
organs on account of the hard tumble
their patron saint received in the SEN
ate They blame Quay's failure to be
seated on Governor Stones certificate
to the influence of Mr.. Wanamaker.
There is no doubt that he contributed
more largely to the desirable result
than any other man, and he doubtless
considers the criticism that arises on
account of 1t as the highest praise.
Mr.. Wanamaker has for years been a
persistent and consistent enemy of
Quayism, and has given both Of his
time and his means to bring about
a better condition of affairs in his
party in Philadelphia, as well as in the
state. 1t was due almost entirely to
his speeches in 9S and to the efforts of
the Business Mems League, of which
he is leading spirit that Mr.. Quay is
not an honored II not honorable mem
Der of the United States senate today
Mr.. Wanamaker says that there has
not been an honest election in Penn
sylvania in 15 years except in spots
and that Philadelphia has not within
the memory of man been so governed
as to ensure fair elections. He is not
loved by Quay men, be they Quay DEM
ocrats or Quay Republicans, but he has
the respect and good will of all those
who desire honest methods in political
matters. Mr.. Wanamaker is not an Of
fee seeker but If the time comes when
the Pennsylvania Republicans want a.
man for high official position who has
ability and integrity, and who is doing
more than any other one man to purify
his party, Mr.. Wanamaker will not
long remain without a call.

Prof. Goldwin Smith, who left high
political position in British politics
and professorship in Oxford universi-
ty to live in Canada, says that England
will no doubt ultimately win in her
contest with the Beers, but he consid-
ers the measure of glory in so doing
will be about the same as that gained
by England in burning Joan of Arc.
The credit to be derived by the United
States in subduing the Filipnos may
be likened to the glory we gained in
hanging Mrs Surratt because she kept
a boarding house.

The broom corn trust has 10000 tons
OF stock on hand, but refuses to sell
for less than 5000 per ton. This is far
beyond the real value, and as a result
a Chicago factory has imported 500
tons from Hungary at total cost of
sl20 ton laid down in Chicago This
is the first broom corn ever imported
for American factories, and this would
not have been bought abroad had not
the trust played the hog game little
too hard. The broom corn trust will
now doubtless ask congress to raise the
tariff on broom corn in order to pro-
tect the American farmer, and unless
congress rises above its usual plane Of
criminal stupidity in dealing with such
questions, the demands Of the trust will
be speedily complied with. Anything
and everything, no matter how out
rageous, goes under the lying plea of
protection.

The supreme court Of Michigan de-
serves credit for rendering a decision
against the railroads and in favor of
the people. 1t Is a sorry fact that
courts of last resort usually decide in
favor Of the corporations. The laws
of Michigan provide that when the
earnings of passenger trains shall
reach certain sum the fares shall be
reduced from three cents to two and a
half cents per mile. The report of the
Wabash road for 1898 showed that its
earnings had reached the amount fixed
by law to institute reduction of fares.
The road set up the defense, however,
that the mail, express and baggage
carried on baggage trains are not prop
erly counted as part of the earnings
of such trains, and refused to pay on
the ground that earnings of passenger
trains exclusive of these items did not
reach the amount calling for the reduc-
tion in fares. The court decided, how
ever, that the profits from baggage, ex-
press and mail are properly a part of
the earnings of the trains on which
they are carried.
