Clean up Your Premises.

Every householder should now see
that their premises are put in good
sanitary condition. The hot weather
is here and neglected places are apt
to breed unpleasant smells. Weeds
should be cut down and disinfectants
applied where necessary. Let every
one take little care in this direction
and the town will be made much
more attractive and pleasant. IT
should hardly be worth while to call
attention to this, for every one with
perceptions as to the proprieties of
the season and the desirableness of a
healthy and comfortable habitation
ought TO be prompt to take the little
care requisite to obtain this end.

A Long Silence B-oken.

William C. McCarty a former re-
sident of Milford, whose absence
for many years has been a mystery
has recently written a line to the
Port Jervis Gazette, presumably
from New Mexico as the paper says
after returning from New York City
where he had been on business. He
had spent day in Port Jervis and
wrote concerning its attractions ms
place for summer boarders. He
is a brother to John H. and A. v
Nc Carty, of Dingman township,
where he was bora and lived until
he entered the employ of the late
John H. Wallace.

The Sussex Register among other

quarry on the farm of j. B. Patter-
son near that town which was open
ed 80 years ago, and then abandoned.
1t was considered fine place to gel
hearthstones and whoever wanted a
stone got it free of cost. One man
went from Deckerton to get stone
to flag his cellar bottom, ignorant Of
the fact that he had on his own farm
quarry which he afterward sold
for $40, 900. The stone used for the

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.


(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., July %, 1860.
Secretary Hays able aud adrolt
handling Of the diplomatic end of
the Chinese trouble is far sighted
statesmanship of the highest order,
which will ia the end pay big divi-
dends in dDllars aud cents as we'll
as in the goodwill of the Chinese.
He has treated the Chinese Minister
at Washington in an open frank
manner, implying confidence in him
as man, aud the belief that his
government was doing the best il
could under the circumstances, while
the Chinese ministers at all the
European capitals have been and are
being treated as though they were
spies to be watched and to even
have their free use of the telegraph
in communicating with their gov
ernment curtailed. The result is
that today China regards the u $.
as the only friend she has among
the nations with the possible ex
ception of Japan The Chinese
Minister is deeply grateful for Sec
retary Hays acceptance of the tele-
gram from Minister Conger, as gen
uine, and his continued assertion of
his belief in the good faith of the
Chinese government, in the face of
official European doubts and sneers.
The European governments all
have selfish reasons for wishing to
throw dlscredit on the Chinese gov
ernment, while we have not

The New Five Dollar Bill.

The first of the new five dollar sill
yer certificates have been printed and
are in the treasury for circulation.
From an artistic point of view they
are said to be among the prettiestever
printed. The face of the bill bears
the portrait of the typical American
Indian of other days. On one side of
this portrait is the blue seal of the
treasury and on the other side big
letter V and the word "Five." "
These are printed in blue. The fig
ure 5 is repeated over the bill. On
the front of the obligation it is found
in each corner. The back of the bill
contains considerable scroll work,
two large open spaces and the usual
lettering.

Mr.. John T. Hartman, promi-
nent lawyer and active Republican
of the State of Washington, who is
now visiting the National Capital,
said of the political outlook in his
state THE Republicans win score
big victory in Washington this
year. Mckinley and Roosevelt's
plurality will not be far from 5000
Four years ago Bryan carried the
state by 10000 In 1898, the Re-
publican plurality was $500. We
are sure to add considerably to the
1898 figures THIS year, and if Brvan
talks anti-imperialism too much
there's no telling how great the vic
tory will be. Every Republican in
the state favors expansion, and l
doubt if you could find a dozen DEM
ocrats ia Washington, who, down at
the bottom of their hearts, do not
believe it is the right policy. Not
only are we going to carry the state
for Mckinley and Roosevelt, but we
are going to carry it without asking
the Nationel Committee for single
dollar, fora single sheet of campaign
literature or for a solitary orator.
More than this, we are going to have
some money to contribute to help
along the cause in more doubtful
states"

nations concerned, including that

The Negroes Who Killed Marshal
Myers at Davis in Custody.


We learn by phone to day from
Davis that two negroes have been
captured, charged with the killing
of Marshal Myers at that place
Saturday night.
Lyman McHarley was captured
yesterday on the Washita and
lodged in the calaboose at Davis.
Pink Bruner, another negro, was
captured three miles from Henne-
pin, where he had stopped to have
his leg dressed, he having been
wounded by Myers. He was also
placed in the calaboose at Davis.
Bruner says that McHarley is
the cause of the trouble, he having
planned for some time to kill
Myers.
There was some talk of lynch
ing, but better counsel prevailed
and the prisoners were turned over
to the United States authorities,
who took them to Pauls Valley or
Purcell to-day for safe keeping.
The funeral of the dead officer
took place yesterday afternoon un-

But the stock in the wreck GER
tainly present pitiable spectacle.
On all sides the MANNED and
bruised bodies are lying in heaps,
the dead and living being dumped
together indiscriminately as they
are taken from the wreck. No
effort was being made to put them
out of their misery, but they were
dragged out bleeding and mangled
and left to drag out the remainder
of their short lives in suffering and
torment.
Those that were uninjured, and
they were comparatively few, were
rescued and driven to the pens at
the oil mill where they will be
cared for along with those that
were in the remaining cars of the
train which were not wrecked.

loss at $15, 900.
