There were only seven votes on a
collateral question on Mr.. Knox's con-
firmation that appeared to be in op-
position, while there were 43 the other
way. Then the nomination was con-
frmed without division, showing there
were no senators so earnest in oppo-
sition as to call for a record vote. The
debate did not go to the merits or de-
merits of Mr.. Knox, but was con-
fined to the proposition for further
delay in order that his outside oppo-
nents might present fresh evidence as
to his alleged sympathy or alliance
with trusts. In this matter Mr.. Knox
has merely suffered and that only to
very limited extent, by the position of
his party and administration, under
both Mckinley and Roosevelt There
is no doubt the law of 1890 expressed
Republican antagonism to trusts a few
years ago. 1t was used as an cleo
fioneering argument to show the anti
trust stand of that party. For time
it had considerable effect in holding
to party allegiance the antitrust ele-
ment; but that soon became useless.
The trusts to a very great extent alb
sorbed the Republican party and the
law Of 1890 was shelved. Pretense that
it indicated Republican policy was
abandoned, and the Republicans be-
came an ally of the trusts and depend
ed on them for material aid in carry
ing elections. The whole thing makes
a comic episode in our recent political
history, but one that is tainted with
bad faith and betrayal Of public in
terests.-Pittsburg Post

Is. w. Durham, the insurance COM
missioner who leaves his work entire
ly to subordinates, while his official
duties are confined to drawing the sal
nry, is now bigger boss than the Old
Man. What he says goes, and since he
has declared that Elkin is to be the
next machine candidate for governor
that settles the matter. 1t must be
rather discouraging for men who inn
agine that they live under a republican
form of government to have all their
candidates picked out few years
ahead, but the Republicans of boss
ridden Pennsylvania have become so
accustomed to having all their candi-
dates slated by few self constituted
bosses that they submit without
whine, except those who are willing to
be called insurgents" for asserting
their right to think for themselves.

FREELAND, PA. FEBRUARY 3, 1902

Secretary Gage did not leave the
cabinet any too soon to please men
who believe in honesty and fair deal
ing. The shady transaction in con-
nection with the sale of the old New
York custom house casts a suspicion
on his integrity and he never ventured
any explanation, thus giving ground
for the belief that it admitted no solu-
ton consistent with honesty. He was
authorized by special act of congress
to sell the property at public or private
sale for not less than $3,000000, and
then rent it from the purchaser at
per cent. of the purchase price until
the new custom house should be ready
for use. He sold the property to the
City National Bank. the Standard Oil
companys institution, for S3,265 900.
The president of the bank took certi-
fed check for the amount to Washing
ton, and within an hour the secretary
handed back all but $4,000 to be de-
posted in the City National Bank
without interest, though the bank was
not a United States depository. 1t is
supposed that he kept the $4,000 back
in order that the title might still re-
main in the government and thus save
the City bank $4,000 a year in taxes.
The banks profits in dealing with Sec
retary Gage are estimated to have beer
at least 81 900 day for long time, as
it had $l5,000,000 of the government
funds without paving a single cent of
interest The only question about
which there seems to be any doubt in
the public mind is whether the secre-
tary received a share of the swag or
whether in the goodness of his heart
he permitted the Standard Oil company
to keep it all in order to assist strug
Cling infant industry. No wonder he
grew furious in Philadelphia recently
when some one made mention of the
New York transaction in his presence.
1t touched tender spot.

cape from death:
-Four years ago." he says, "the doc

and told hel that could not live two
weeks as I had Bright's Disease, which
meant certain death.
"As a. last resort we thought we
would try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and ac-
cordingly sent to Mr.. Clark's drug
store and got box.
'This remedy worked wonders in
my case. I noticed the improvement
at once and discharged the doctor.

symptom of illness had gone and I
was strong and well.

the width.

Fig. is one-quarter pitch, one
fourth the width.
Roofs can be put on any building
if the above rules are followed.
House rafters should be two feet
from centers, including partitions.
To know how much sheathing is
wanted, get the surface foot of ex-
terror and roof, and the same rule
applies for siding, only it will be nee
essary to add one-fifth more for lap
and waste. Also, add one-ffth more
groove and waste. All floor beams
should be 16 inches from centers, the
same as studding.
One bunch of lath containing 100
lath will cover a space one foot high
and 60 feet long. Seven pounds of
lath nails will lay ten punches of
lath. One barrel of lime will cover
25 yards of plaster, two coats. One
load of sand will mix one barrel of
lime. One thousand shingles will
cover IA square feet if laid five and
one-half inches to the weather. One
keg of shingle nails will lay 10000
shingles.
To build stairs properly, have the
we'll hole not less than one foot
shorter than the height of ceiling,
and to get the height of stairs, meas
ure from floor to floor and see how
many steps it will take to reach the
second floor if they were seven and
one-half or eight inches high. Never
have them over eight and one-half
inches high. Steps should be ten
inches wide. Stairs two feet ten
inches are a good width. Estimate
no less than SIP for each and every
door and window, with castings and
trimmings complete.-John F. Lape,

FARM TELEPHONES.
That They Are Multiplying in All
Parts of the Country Is a Pleas
ing Sign of Progress

Some of our readers have lately
mentioned in letters the convenience
of the telephone. They save many a
long, hard drive in the cold. One
farmer arranges to go to the post Of
fee, to the store or neighboring vii
lage or railway station for the neigh
borhood and so half days work or
more is saved to man, for men and ami
mails. 1t is economy in time, in wear
and tear of carriage, in the exposure
and use of horses, and in ways too
numerous to catalogue.
But one of the chief uses of the farm
telephone, as we conceive it, is in its
social benefits. 1t brings the people
in touch. What one knows of impor-
lance can be known by all. If there
is a farmers institute, lecture. a
meeting of the lodge or grange, par
ty or social event of any kind, the fact
is easily communicated. This gives
real, live, friendly social touch. You
are no longer an isolated family, left
out in the cold; you belong to COM
munity. You are not whitening away
or rusting out in rural or pioneer
home, bur you are in healthful contact
with those who sympathize with you
and are ready to lend a helping hand
if you need it. You may not need it,
but the knowledge that you can have
it and that you are a living part of a
modern, civilized, Christian commune
ty is a source of comfort and of equa-
nilnity which has its own value.
Dollars and cents do not make up
the whole of life. Why do Americans
flock to the cities? One reason is that
they feel the need of the social con-
tact and the various privileges which
come from community life. If our
wives and daughters win be made hap
pier, if the killing isolation can be
overcome and our families be brought
more into organic connection with the
great live world, it would be worth
more when life's history is written
than anything that can be computed
IN money.-Farm, Field and Fireside.

Nurses Experience.

Medical men say that a good nurse
in difficult case is better than med
lclne, but when we can get good
nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands much better chance of re-
covery. The few words of advice
given below by nurse Eliza King, are
well worthy the attention of all
readers:
al have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations I have occupied as
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent remedy-well rubbed in. 1 can
strongly recommend it after several years
use and experience. 1t should be in every
household"
Sister CAROL INA, ST. Andrews Hospital,
writes: 81 have found ST. Jacobs Oil most
efhcacious remedy in govt ; also in sprains and
bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it
constantly"

MIX Must He Cooled Quickly.

In cooling milk the work should be
done rapidly. 1t is not enough to set
the cans in cold air; they should be
set in cold water. Anything cools more
rapidly in cold water than in cold air,
for the reason that the air is to con-
siderable extent a non-conductor.
Water absorbs very rapidly heat from
any object placed in it. If it is de-
sired to have the milk cool in a very
short time it should be stirred after
it has been in the cold water for some
time, as the milk at the sides of the
can will be quite cold while that in the
middle of the can will be still hot

SOME LUCKY FARMERS.
Money and Other vnIuab1es That
Went Astray Recovered by IlIi-
nois TilIers of the Soil.

Illinois farmers and country people
have the most wonderful luck in re-
covering lost money, valuable papers
and other articles. Names and places
are given in instances of recent date
when large amounts of money have
been recovered.
A few weeks ago c. o. Johnson,
who lives on farm near Sycamore,
discovered that he had lost 1910 in
money and some insurance papers.
He had kept the money in box in
an upper room, and having occasion
to go to the box he found it missing.
He made up his mind that it had been
stolen, but a part of the contents of
the box was found in one of the out
houses few days later. A portion
of the money was recovered.
Within the last ten days Mrs. Mary
Crowell, of Oregon, ILL.,, lost a 500
bill. She advertised in the Ogle Coun-
ty Republican for it and finally got
it back by an extraordinary run of
good luck John Reed, the janitor
of the Presbyterian church, gathered
furnace, in which there was a fire.
Reed thought he saw something that
looked like a crisp note and jerked
it out of the furnace before it was
ablaZe. In the dim light he took it to
be dollar bill, but when he got near
lamp he found it worth 100 times
that much. He took it over to Mrs.
CroWell, who promptly gave him
tent:l of it.
TIL eodore Rossow, a German farm
Ell living near Bloomington, went into
town one afternoon recently, and it
was on Friday, too. Rossow drew
$500 from the bank. 1t was in crisp
bills and he slipped the whole of it
in large envelope. Then he went
to the hitching post where he had
left his horse and buggy, and did an
unheard of thing. He took the en-
velope out of his pocket and showed
it, money and all, under the seat
cushion. He had some more errands
to do, and when he got back to the
hitching post the animal, buggy.
money and all was gone. After look
ing all over town for his rig, he APP
piled to the police, who joined in the
search. In an hour or two stray
horse and buggy were reported in
remote section of the town, and Ros-
sOw's turnout was there discovered.
A search under the seat cushion dis
closed the envelope with it's valuable
contents.
Within the last month farmer liv-
ing near Sterling sold some farm
products for which he was paid sum
of money considerably over $1,000 i'll
cash. 1t was late in the evening, the
banks were closed, and the man was
afsaid to keep the money in his
house. During the afternoon he had
killed a calf, which he intended to
ship to South Water street in the
morning. The carcass was hanging
in The shed, and wrapping the money
in an old newspaper he secreted it
inside the carcass and went to bed.
The next morning the old man over
slept himself, and by the time he was
we'll awake he found that his hired
man had shipped the calf to Chicago
and the money went along. The
farmer got aboard of the first train
and landed in South Water street on
the same day, soon finding the COM
mission man to whom it had been
shipped. He found the carcass and
inside was the package of bills.-Chi-
