EXTRACTS FROM SPEECHES MADE BY
HON. ANDREW L. FRITZ CANDI-
DATE FOR CONGRESS, WHILE HE
WAS A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLA-
TURE.
During Mr.. Fritz's Legislative
career he made large number of
speeches in the House Of Repres-
entatives which will show that he
looked closely after the interests of
his constituents. When the bill
providing for the equalization of
taxation was before the House in
1887, which is as applicable now as
then, he made lengthy speech from
which we quote the following:
The equalization of taxation be-
tween all classes of persons and all
classes of property is a subject
worthy of the consideration of this
House. Session after session Of the
Legislature, petitions and memorials
have been presented from all parts
of the State, and perhaps more re-
quests have been made by the people
of this Commonwealth for a change
in our system of taxation than fol
any other object. The farmers and
real estate owners i'll my section o.
1.-THE State are almost unanimously ii
! favor Of some measure that will more
equally divide the burdens of tax
alton. There is no subject before
the Legislature that more directly
and deeply interests the people thar
taxation. 1t cannot be denied tha
many inequalities exist. The bur
den of local taxation for county
school, poor and road purposes falls
almost entirely upon real estate
The corporations, the farmer, the
mechanic, the laborer, and all othel
classes of citizens should be put up
on an equal footing. Shall VIZ

COLUMBIA O0UNTY'S TURN FOR
CONGRESS-.

This Congressional District was
formed ID years ago and by rotation
Columbia county is now entitled to
the Democratic Candidate. In 1888
the nomination was conceded to
Columbia county and Senator Buck
alew received the nomination and
was elected for his first term in this
District He was a candidate for
his second term aud was defeated
for the nomination, the first time
by Senator Wolverton, but he was
afterwards nominated for his second
term and defeated at the polls.
| Northumberland county by rolling
up large Republican Majority
gave this District to a Republican
| Congressman for four years. So
that Northumberland was repre-
sented in Congress eight years
from 1890 to 1898, the first four
years by Senator Wolverton a DEM
ocrat, and the next four by Mr..
Kulp a Republican. In 1898 and
in 1900 Montour' late popular
Congressman was elected. Be-
tween Northumberland and Colum-
bia we cannot go back more than
fourteen years, as previous to that
time Northumberland belonged to
another district, and had nothing
whatever to do with the nomination
and election Of a Congressman for
this district.
AS Sullivan and Montour are not
claiming the nomination, all who
take a fair and unbiased view of the
situation say that the present NOM
iuation belongs to Columbia. In
1898 Mr.. Fritz carried Columbia
and gave his conferrees to Mr..
Polk and afterwards stumped this
county and assisted largely in re-
deeming the District from the
Republican ranks where it had beer
the four previous years. In 1906
Columbia gave Mr.. Polk the con
ferrees without opposition, aftel
which this great Democratic strong
hold rolled up second time large
majority at the general election fol
our late esteemed Congressman
| The voters of Montour county vii
no doubt take into consideration
what Columbia county has done
for her during the past four year,
and concede the nomination tt

rotation.
With Mr.. Fritz as candidate
Columbia county will give major
ity of about three thousand vote S

RECOGNIZED A VETERAN.

1 Prince Henry's Compliment to an Old 1th C. " Veteran. 1 The Washington correspondent of the Hartford Couranr tells the following story;
 There was one incident in connection with Prince Henry's Washington visit on February 27 that was well worth re- cording as showing his alertness and
 QUICK appreciation of a hero wherever
 he meets him.
 certain senators asked General Flaw
 ley for the liberty to use the homesone
 committee room of the senate commit
 tee on military affairs for compli
 mentary luncheon to the prince Of course he granted the permission the same thing had been done freduentIv ana the senators who had it in charge or course made up an elegant luncheon.
 The messenger of the committee. aD- pointed by General Hswley, is Charles H. Hooks Co. Fl, Seventh C. V., whose left arm was shot off near the shoulder at the battle of SecessionviIle, when he was serving in General Hawleys com mand. His duties are to watch the room door. answer calls and go to the postoftice and to the document room for documents, bills, etc
 The day the prince was being escort 1 ed to luncheon Hooks. of course, was on | duty at the door and the prince came near without giving any names or in | troduclng him. Looking at Hooks emp. | ty sleeve, he grabbed his other hand | and gave it good, hearty shake, noth | ng being said on either side. Words were unnecessary.

! walks of life publicly endorse Peruna Peruna does all that is claimed for it. Ii cures catarrh.
 MT. John K. Burns, 2s Spring Garden Road, Halifax, N. S., Water Inspector writes:
 can hardly find words that can ex- press my thanks to you for what your remedy has done for me. I have been troubled with catarrh of the head for q couple of years, and I was persuaded to try Peruna and found great benefit after using three bottles, and I can recom- mend it highly to anyone suffering from the same" JOHN F, BURNS. Perunn Cured Catarrh of Several Years
 Standing.
 Mir. G. l.. Martin, Hartford, Ont, choir leader at St. Pauls Episcopal Church, writes:
 "Peruna is wonderful remedy for troubles. I have been troubled with catarrh for great many years, and always trying something for it, but was able only to secure temporary relief until I used Peruna. Only five bottles rid my system of all traces of catarrh, and I have not noticed the slightest trouble for several months. My head was stopped up, my breath offensive, snd it is 8 relief to be able to breathe freely once more." c. l.. MARTIN.

Spring Time the Best Season of the Year to Treat Chronic Catarrh.
Catarrh.

Notwithstanding that great number of people have been cured of chronic catarrh by taking Peruna during the past cold season, yet it cannot be denied that the cold, wet, stormy weather has retarded many cures, and, in some cases actually prevented cure.
 But springtime has come at last, and now is the time for all catarrh sufferers to begin a systematic course of treat ment for this disease. The greatest diff culty in the way of treating chronic catarrh is that the patient is so liable to catch cold during the treatment and thus delay cure
 This liability at this season of the year is, in great measure, removed, and no one should neglect the opportunity to take treatment.
 Peruna is acknowledged by everyone to be the only reliable and unfailing cure of catarrh wherever it may be located. When you take Peruna you are not experimenting with an unknown remedy.

 Pray for me" said the divine, "that l may speak delicately loyalty. If the king brews beer what can be wrong in the subjects drinking it.? What inc klns does is likely to be initiated by others. His majesty is more than man, and must regard all questions from kingly viewpoint. If the king goes to Sunday concert, as he did re- gently, he deals a deadly blow to inc Fnslishmans Sunday.

NOVEL ENGINEERING
In New Compressed Air Plant in Nor
 WiCh.

WlCh.
 A remarkable feat of engineerins
 which has attracted the attention of ex perts all over the United States is the
 construction of the compressed air plant 1 at Norwich, which has just reached | completion. This plant, which is the 1 first of it's kind to be built in this coun-
 try, is, 1t is thought destined to have
 an important bearing on the economi- 1 cal production of power for mechanical 1 purposes.
 Of the four great sources of mechan- 1 ical power, viz water. steam, electric ity and compressed air. the last named has. up to the present time. been the least employed by reason of it's great cost.
 The Norwich plant cost nearly $500 900 and is located on the Quinnebaug river, narrow but swiftly running stream, which has good depth of wa ter at all sea sons of the year It emp ties into the shetucket river which in turn runs into the Thames river, and from thence into Long Island sound.
 The building of the plant has taken a year and half, as the progress of the work last winter was seriously inter- fered with by freshets in the river.
 The system, briefly described, is as follows:
 A shaft is sunk in the earth near a waterfall to any desired depth; an iron pipe is placed within the shaft at the bottom of which is a tank or separating chamber to receive the air The falling water is conducted to the top of the pipe and discharged therein, the water falling through the pipe to the bottom of the shaft and returning to ;he sur face
 The shaft is constructed of sufficient | size to allow the water to return to the | surface within the shaft on the outside | nf the down. flow pipe.
 The falling water entrains the air in -he form of bubbles, which are carried to the bottom of the shaft at this point -he air frees itself from the water and in the chamber below, the wa CT finding its way out UP the shaft and nto the stream from whence it came Mains connected directly with the sep rating chamber convey air to desired joints
 As the pressure under which the air s delivered depends solely upon the weight of the returning column of wa CT any pressure desired may be had Y sinking the shaft to a greater or less I T depth The Norwich plant will give 1,865- { orse power a a pressure of siehtv-hve ounds per square Inch The shsft was | lasted through granite to depth of , 'S feet and its diameter is twenty four , 'et The compressor pipe extending to ~ le bottom is of steel plates rivete1 to- 7 ether and is thirteen feet in diameter. ~ ne head of water obtained by the con , ruetion of a dam is eighteen and one . aif feet, The air will be piped to the !. tN proper, a distance of four miles at ~ loss or less than , per cent in trans v ission. le
