EARLY CONGRESSIONAL CON
MENTION.



The national republican congressional
committee has adopted a resolution
recommending the early nomination of
candidates for congress. We are APP
prolching a campaign which VIII in
volve the thorough consideration of new
questions, and the sooner the republi-.
can organization is perfected by the
completion of lis list of candidates for
congress the sooner 1t will be able TO
address itself to the educational work
of the campaign. The Importance Of
prompt organization to republican sue
we'll understood that already arrange
ments for early conventions have been
made i'll many districts.
In Col. Hendersons case the date Of
the convention has of course no impor-
tance, so far as his personal prospects
are concerned. But the district which
has furnished the present congress its
speaker can. do something in the way of
setting the country a good example. IT
the committee in this congressional dis
trict should decide on an early conyen-
ton, its influence would go far towards
securing prompt action in other dis
tricts in which the result may depend
on organization. We can think of no OBJ
lection to the early convention in this
district, but the suggestion at this time
Is offered merely Tor the consideration
of the congressional committee. Mr.
Engler, Its chairman, is abroad. but vii
return in ample timesto act. even If the
republicans Of the speakers distric
should conclude to be first in the tielt
with their candidate.

A CITY BUILT IN TWO DAYS

j. T. Owen, of Greencastle, re-
members seeing a bare spot on
the prairies Of Wyoming become
a rustling city of 1900 inhabi-
tants within two days.
In 1867 he was a bridge build
er ON the Union Pacific Railroad.
In that year the company decid-
ed to move its shops and estab-
lish new town. The site chosen
was on the plains, where there
was neither tree nor stone. Ev-
cry other lot in the town was to
be given free to the person who
would build a house.
The day after the offer was
made the railroad had difficulty
in moving all the people who
wanted one of these lots. Free
trains were run from as far east
as Chicago, and in forty-eight
hours 1000 people were on the
ground, scrambling for a place to
construct a home. AS fast as a
location was secured the building
of a home began. A good many
of the houses were of the "knOcz
down" style of architecture.
They could be folded up and
hauled in a wagon, and some of
the settlers had brought these
houses with them.
For a year the railroad com
pany continued to give away lots.
There were no paved streets nor
sidewalks. A man who had a
home on a roadway where the
sod had been scraped up in a
ridge in the center regarded him
self as an aristocrat.
The city IS standing to-day, but
it is larger and more substantial,
and the "knock down" houses
have given place to something
finer. The city now bears the
name of Cheyenne. - Boston

Written for last week.
The recent developments in
railroad circles, give us hope for
a railroad in the near future
one which will cause the develop
ment of our valuable minerals, Of
which vast quantities underlie a
large portion of our lands along
the proposed route.
For some years this vicinity
has been free from depreciation
of thieves, but recently there has
been some of that fraternity ply
ing their vocation in the neigh
borhood. For some time D. H.
Myers, of South Dublin, has
been under the impression that
his corn was getting away much
too rapidly. On Tuesday night
of last week, about three barrels
of recently purchased corn dis
appeared from the crib. The
thieves were very bold, having
ridden a mule to the barnyard
where it was hitched to the fence,
which was partly demolished by
the animal in it's efforts to get
away. The tracks led to and
from the public road, but there
lost in the multiplicity of like i'm
pressions, and by the fall of a
shower of rain.
Weddings have been quite nu-
merous recently in and about our
village, the most recent one being
that of Blaine Hertzler. of Burnt
Cabins, to Miss Carrie Owens of
Knobsville, on last Wednesday.
The young couple were married
by Rev. Ash of McConnellsburg,
at the parsonage and returned to
the home of the bride at 4
o'clock p. M, where a sumptuous
supper was served to a large
number of guests. After sup
per the guests were entertained
by Gen. Pedden and Capt. Dot
terman of Salvation Army, (who
are residents Of the village,)
with songs. About 8 o'clock, a
number of young folks appeared
on the scene and serenaded the
young couple in an appropriate
manner Thursday morning the
newly welded couple left for
Burnt Cabins where they will
make their future home.

A Boston Bellies Part III the War

One of the first women to offer
her services to the country at the
outbreak of our civil war was
Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis, a fa-
nous belle and leader of Boston
society. With the firing of the
first gun at Sumter she put ev-
erything aside and gave her time
exclusively to the cause of the
armies of the North, never ceas-
ing her work until peace had been
restored. "She had charge of
the depot of goods and money for
soldiers" writes Mabel Percy
Haskell in the May Ladies' Home
Journal, "and no small degree of
heroic fortitude and tirmness
was required to carry out the
great and beneficient objects of
the organization, yet Mrs. Otis
did this with an entire disregard
of her own personal comfort.
She wore the plainest, coarsest
of clotees, and many a time she
was to DC seen trudging across
the Common in a long waterproof
circular, the hood over her head,
and under each arm an immense
bundle of soldier clothes. 1t was
all Il labor of love with her. To
show how entirely she disregard
ed what is usually a woman's
chief consideration-her dress
she did not purchase a new gown
nor have one remodeled during
the four years of her labors for
the soldiers. She took in and ex-
pended over one million dollars. "

What Made Him Poor.

An old man raped at a door,
and when it was opened by the
gentleman of the house he said
he was hungry, y,and begged some
thing for his breakfast. He said
he would willingly do some work
to pay for it,. A good meal was
given him, which he ate as if he
was really very hungry. When
he was about TO go he stood with
his old hat in his hand, his thin,
gray hair blown by the wind.
His face was thin, and wore rath-
er piteous expression. Said he:
Il thank you sincerely for this
food. | was hungry. And, while
| thank you, / want to warn you
against coming into the condition
| am in. When | was young l
worked hard, and made money.
| spent it in the saloons. 1 put
hundreds of dollars there. Now
| am too old to work. | must
wear rags for clothes, and beg
for living. The saloons drive
me out and give me nothing. Last
night | was driven from one, and
would have been in that terrible
storm, but for the kindness of q
man who let me sleep in his
shop"
He is only one of many made
poor by the use of strong drink.
1t is, indeed, a deceiver, and no
respecter of persons.

Our Growth in Population.
There were but 5, 300, 900 people

There were but 1900, 900 people
in America when this century
opened. France had five times
as many people; Germany, and
even Austria, had four times
Americas population; Italy had
three times as many, and so had
Great Britain. Even Spain had
double our number of people, and
little Portugal was almost our ri
val in numbers. We have more
people now than any European
nation except Russia, which alone
leads us. We have as many peo-
pie as live in all Great Britain and
France combined. We have one
half more people than Germany.
We have, practically, 75,000,0 600
people in the United States, and

Old Maids Are Invaluable.

81 like the term 'old maid, ,"
writes Margaret E. Sangster in
ladies' home Journal. ga spin
ster means any unmarried wo-
man; a girl may be a spinster
An old maid is, well-iust that
She may have her little ways, land
thankful she may be that no one
is privileged to interfere with
them. If she keep house, as
many an old maid does in these
days of independence, it is very
daintily done, with an exquisite
finish and neatness surpassed by
none of her sisters. Probably
the lady has plenty of people to
stay with her-nieces to chape-
ron, nephews to chaperon, invalid
relations to coodle-all sorts of
people to counsel and comfort
In society she is simply invalu-
able. AS an unattached person
who at an emergency may be
called upon in the family by any
one in need, brother or sister,
father or mother, to take the helm,
she is simply worth her weight
in gotd."

A Handsome Book.

We have had the opportunity
of examining proofs of the cuts
which will appear in the book en-
titled "Pennsylvania at Chica-
mauga and Chattanooga" work
which has been compiled under
the direction of Capt. Skinner,
treasurer of our Commission, who
for several years has also been
filling the position of secretary of
the Chickamauga- Chattanooga
Battlefield Commission. This
work which is being published
under the authority Of an act of
the last Legislature promises to
be of great interest to the surviv-
ors of the Pennsylvania regi-
ments serving in the vicinity Of
Chattanooga. Each of these will
receive copy. Judging by the
proofs, the book will be handsome
ly illustrated. 1t will contain
about 500 pages and will be ready
for distribution about July LIST
next. xt.-Scotland News.
