"A letter received Wednesday from a
friend in Salamanca by a lady residing in
this city, and who contemplated a visit to
that place, advises that Bradford people
shnuld nnt yiait Salamanca or tho nrauont
time owing to the prevalence of smallpox.
The letter states that at West Salamanca
there are now 81 cases of the disease, and
that in Salamanca proper several cases
have broken out, some of them serious.-

John M. Zuendel of Starr was a caller
Monday, having dropped in TO claim the
special prize of a years subscription to
the REPUBLICAN offered at the late poul-
try show for the best pen OF brown Leg
horn chickens. He produced the proper
document from the managers and got his
prize all right. And it's one of the best
that was offered, and there were some
good ones in the bunch, too. John has
made a success of chicken breeding and
is making it pay.
Rachel, wife of Frederick Brook
houser, died al her home at East Hick-
DRY, about six o'clock yesterday norm
ing, after an illness of several weeks, of
tubercular trouble. She was aged about
10 years, and was a daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel Sollinger of Hickory. Her
marriage to Mr.. Brookhouser, formerly
of this place, took place about eight
months ago. Besides her husband she
is survived by her parents, three brothers
and four sisters.
"A case of considerable concern to
Maccabees was decided by the New York
court of appeals last week by which Ben
jamin c. Beach, of Delevan, receives ST.
900 on his policy for disability. The case
was hard fought through the courts by
Beach's attorney, George Il. Spring, of
Springville. In 1887 Beach had a policy
in the Maccabees which provided that in
case of his permanent ''or' total disahill-
ty he was to receive 81, 900 from the order
During that year he injured his right
arm so that he has since been unable to
use it. The order refused to pay his
claim. Later the order changed its by
laws so that the policies issued after that
would pay only in case of permanent
land" total disability. 1t was a matter
of but n word, yet the case was decided
in Beach's favor on that word. This last
finding of the court of appeals afirms
the findings of the lower courts which
were all favorable to Beach.
Mrs. Kate Sotfel, OF Biddle Brothers
notoriety, who has been billed to play
through this section in "a Daring Wo-
man." is meeting with considerable OPP
position. The w. G. II. U. and the min
listers of Connellsville have filed a vigor-
Gus protest, and those of Charleroi have
followed suit. While the motive which
inspires this opposition is undoubtedly a
good one, the wisdom of this method of
procedure is open to question. The mis-
directed efforts of the ladies and gentle
men of the cloth are liable TO have an eff
fort exactly the opposition of that intend
ed, they may assist materially in BOOM
ing the play instead of suppressing it.
Mrs. Soffel is by no means the first wo-
man who has tried to make money by
going on the stage, with nothing more
than the notoriety acquired from a ques-
tionable career to recommend her. If
she has the nerve to exhibit herself, after
all that has been said and written about
her, we fail to see why these good people
should insist on advertising her by their
opposition. 1t is doubtful if Mrs. Lang
try would have scored the success she
did had it not been for the Prince of
Wales and Freddie Gebhardt accessories,
and nobody would have gone across the
street to see Sullivan, Corbett, Fitzsim-
mons or Jeffries in their theatrical stunts
had it not been for the notoriety they Sc
cured as prize fighters. There is no law
compelling anybody to attend Mrs. Sof-
fel's show, but if she is determined to
parade herself before the public the best
thing to do is to iust let her alone.-Oil
