OhiO's Governor Elect Wants to
Run for Vice President.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Hanna
and his Governor elect of Ohio. Myron T.
Herrick. are reported to be Mt logger
heads, and each feels that he has grev-
ance against the other.
Mr.. Herrick is wildly desirous of being
the candidate for Vice President on the
ticket with Mr.. Roosevelt. Senator Hanna
has steadfastly refused to encourage Mr..
Herrick's desire to go on the national
ticket. and in consequence Mr.. Herrick IS
much displeased. He thinks that since Mr..
Hanna may not declare himself as a can
didate for the presidency himself. he ought
not TO stand in the way of another Ohio
man.
Senator Hanna. on the other hand. COM
plains that Mr.. Herrick has a mistaken
idea as to who won the victory in Ohio
at the last election. He says Mr.. Herriclt
seems to think that the candidate for
Governor was the person who pulled the
ticket through" Senator Hanna had the
impression until recently that Hanna had
something to do with the result.
While Hanna is holding Herricks vice
presidential boom in check. Senator Fair
hanks continues to occupy the field as the
leading candidate for second place on the
ticket without exciting much enthusiasm.

A BARGAIN FOR FARMERS.

The New York Zr16nne Farmer, a
national illustrated agricultural
weekly OF twenty large pages, has
no superior as thoroughly prac,i-
cal and helpful publication Tor the
farmer and every member of his
family, and the publishers are de-
termined to give it circulation un-
equaled by any paper of its class in
the United States.
Knowing that every enterprising,
up-to-to-date farmer always reads
his own local weekly newspaper,
the Nev York ZribuAe Farmer has
made an exceedingly liberal ar
raugement which enables us to offer
the two papers at SO low price that
no farmer can afford to lose the op-
portunity.
The price of the Nev York Ir1-
bHHe Farmer is 81 90 a a year and
THE COLUMBIAN is $I.oo a year,
but both papers will be sent for a
full year if you forward $I.25 to
THE COLUMBIAN, Bloomsbury, Pa.
Send your name and address to
the Neao York T,76une Farmer, New
York City, and specimen copy OF
that paper will be mailed to you.

SUIT AGAINST A PASTOR.
Rev. Or Bridenbaugh the Defendant in viii
Case Witness Suddenly Expires.

The unexpected death of the first
witness brought a sudden close to
the trial of the suit of Ella l..
Coughey, Of Erie, and Frank D.
Shouse and Carrie l.. Thompson, of
Detroit, against Rev. DR.. Samuel
r. Brideubaugh, at Reading on
Nov. 23.
G. William Cleweil was on the
stand when the noon adjournment
was taken. He was apparently i'll
the best of health, ruduy and vigor-
Gus, although "A yelrs of age. He
was returning in tie afternoon to
go on the witness $ and again when
he died Of hea disease as he was
turning the knob of the door TO
Judge Endlich'S courtroom. AS
the old man reel d he was caught
by Clarence Rhode, a juror. With
out a word or sound he died.
The case grows out of the will of
Mrs. Seraphine A. Dissler, who
died at the age o. "a years. She
left will appointing Rev. DR.. S.
r. Bridenbaugh executor and max
ing him her res duary legatee. He
was the pastor OF the Reformed
Church at Reading of which Mrs.
Dissler was member. During
the lifetime OF Mrs. Dissler she had
made presents to him Of real estate,
bank stock and cash, valued at over
SII,oo That is not involved in
this suit, but is embraced in another
action. The will made bequests OF
5000 to others and then the bal
ance of the estate was to go TO DR..
Bridenbaugh.
The plaintiffs in this case, who
are nieces and nephew of Mrs.
Dissler, claim that DR.. Bridenbaugh
used undue influence to have Mrs.
Dissler favor him in her will. That
is the question to be decided in the
trial.
Owing the to death OF Mr.. Clewell
the case has been postponed until
January.
DR.. Bridenbaugh was for a num-
Der of years the pastor of the Re-
formed Church in this town.

A SURE SIGN.

An exchange notes that one ofthe
surest signs that, on the whole,
the recent elections were favorable
to Democrats is the fact that divers
gentlemen are examining their light
ming rods to see if they are in best
conditions to attract the PRESIDENT
al lightning. Your Uncle Grover
is out in one of his characteristic
bids. The friends of Mr.. Olney
are declaring that the trend of
things political in New England is
toward the Democrats and that he
would. if nominated, sweep Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. The same claim is made
for Governor Garvin of Little
Rhody." 1t goes without saying,
though it is said thousands of times
every day, that the November
elections have strengthened Hon
Arthur Pue German of Maryland.
1t is talked of everywhere that
Mayor Carter H. Harrison of
Chicago will enter the lists. May
or George B. McClellan-"Little
Mac, Junior, has host of friends
who are asserting that he is man
Of destiny and will go up higher,
even unto the White House. Judge
Parker still has adherents galore;

boom is growing apace, and so ON
to the end of the chapter. To this
situation the old saying The more
the merrier" applies. 1t is a good
thing to have a multiplicity Of
candidates and a genuine contest.
All these men and others not in
foregoing list would not be burnish-
ing their armor and preparing to
struggle for the nomination if they
considered it an empty honor.
They believe that the chances of
electing a Democrat are frst-rate,

DETECTIVES ARE STILL HUSTLING
But Report That There is Nothing New IN
the Clendennin Case.

There is nothing new in the Glen
denim murder case, but the detec-
tives are hustling around and run
ming down every clue.
There were promising indications
Saturday that the detectives were
on the trail of the murderer, when
watch which had been sold TO a
farmer by a stranger and claimed to
be that which was taken from the
murdered operator, was reported to
the authorities, but Investigations
proved that the watch was not
Clendennin's.
The watch was very similar to
that taken from the murdered man.
1t was taken to Jersey Shore by
Alexander Craw, of Corning, who
had been sent to Smithboro to Sc
cure it. George Hammersly, of
Youngdale, who had once owned
the Clendennin watch and others
who knew it was summoned to ex-
anime it but it did not prove to be
the sought-for time piece.
Sheriff Shearer and Officer Bren-
del went to Youngdale Monday
morning where they met Detective
Lupold and two of his associates.
The five officers moved from place
to place i'll Wayne township ques-
tioning those whom they met, with
a view of running out clue on a
new suspect. The officers haven t
seen fit to give out the result OF
their investigation, hence no one
outside of the little band of officers
know whether or not this new clue
may or will tend to fix the blame
on someone in that community.

HOLIDAYS AND ROLYDAYS.
To THE COLUMBIAN:

To THE COLUMBIAN
SIR: In a late patent medicine
almanac, l observed printed among
the Festivals and Holydays of the
Church, such secular anniversaries
and legal holidays as the following,
to wit New Years day, Washing
tons birthday, Lincoln's birthday,
St. Georges day, Decoration day,
Independence day, Labor day, ST.
David's day, and St. Pa.rick's day
Certainly, one would think that
even a patent medicine advertiser
would have had more respect and
reverence, than to have thus mix
ed up the we'll known and religious
ly observed Holydays Of the Christ
ian Church, with mere secular and
legal holidays, set apart to be OBJ
served as such, by Act of Assembly,
or by proclamation of President or
Governor, as political or common
anniversaries.
1t would have been quite easy &c
have made two tables distinct from
each other. One of Church Festi.
walls for religious observance and
another for secular and legal OBJ
servance, for the gatherings oI
citizens and peoples for such cele'
brations Of anniversaries and birth
days and speeches and toasts as tc
them seem meet.
The purposes are different, the
words are different, the spelling il
different, the definitions are differ
ent, and the pronunciation is differ
ent. By all means let us keep then
separate. J. G. F.

ed 20 succeed in his pastorate,
for he is laboring under burden
that no man can carry. If, how
ever, he is so constituted that
he cannot get in touch with his
people, and has none of that
personal magnetism hic h
draws people to him, a congre-
CATION can scarcely be blamed
for losing some interest. If a
preacher finds his congregation
gradually melting away, and can
find no remedy for it, it matters
little whose fault it is.
When such a condition arises
it is just as much the duty of the
people to arouse themselves and
try to infuse new life into their
church, as 1t is the pastors.
Give him an encouraging word,
and a helping hand Take an
active interest in all the activi-
ties Of the church, or at least in
some one of them, and see how
it will brighten and gladden. the
pastors heart, and help him to
perform his duties in a far more
acceptable manner. 1t is com
mon to attribute all the slug.
gishness in church life to the
mismanagement or inability OF
the pastor, when the real fault
lies in the coldness and indiffer
ence of the congregation.
