made, but was lost by a vote Of 81
to IL. Then motion to declare
Hess the nominee was made and
carried without opposition. A num-
Der of the South side return Judges
voted against the motion to make
Shuck the nominee for the reason
that they believed that the spirit of
the party rules was for one candi-
date from each side Of the river.
Among this number was Chairman
Hover, who in answering to his
name, stated that his voice had
always been raised and his vote re-
corded for the recognition of the
South side, but as he believed the
intention was to have one candidate
from each side, he had voted against
the motion.
c. M. Terwilliger was then nom
mated for Prothonotary; Frank w.
Miller for Register and Recorder;
Harry Rhodes for County Treasur-
er; Jerre Hess for Commissioner
from the North side and Charles L
Pohe for Commissioner from the
South side; c. A. Small for District
Attorney; John J. O'Donnell for
Mine Inspector, and Clyde L. Hirle-
man and Harry B. Ceasy for
Auditors.
The committee on resolutions
made the following report which
was accepted:
Resolved, That with Greasy and
Harman in the Legislature and
Cochran in the Senate our county
and district is ably represented by
the Democrats of towering strength.
Taxpayers of all parties in this
county point with pride to their

in recognition of faithful services
rendered we herewith endorse their

Pretty South Side kuptal Event.

A very pretty wedding was SOL
emnized at Catawissa on Tuesday
when Miss Charlotte Martz a tascin-
ating and popular school teacher of
that town and Clifton Culp formerly
of Bloomsbury but now of Cumber-
land, Maryland, were united in the
bonds Of matrimony. The cere-
mony was performed in the Re-
formed Lutheran church which was
very beautifully decorated for the
happy event, by Rev. Altpeter, pas
tor OF the church, assisted by Rev.
John Knittle of Trinity church
Williamsport,
The wedding party was compos-
ed of the bride and groom, maid OF
honor, Miss Sara Martz, sister OF
the bride; bridesmaid, Miss Maud
Berninger Ray Jones of Blooms
burg, best man, Bright Wagner,
page, and Hazel Hartman flower
girl Mrs. Minnie Hartman pre-,
sided at the organ and rendered
Mendelssohn's wedding march.
The ribbon bearers were Sue Bern
niger, Lottie and Bulah Shuman,
Lydia Greasy, Katie Longenberger
and Sara Baldy. The ushers were
Ralph Kline, Frank Harter and
Sterling Young.
The bride was very becomingly
attired in white dotted swiss over
white silk. The maid of honor
wore a light blue gown of silk and
the bridesmaid a gown of light
green
Following the ceremony a recep-
tion to the immediate families and
intimate friends of the couple was
held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. O. Hartman.
The bride, who is a dughter of
William Martz, is popular favor
ite in large circle of friends
The groom is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Culp of Bloomsbury,
and Tor an extended period was
head book keeper for the Car Mfg.

vote, the nomination shall be de-
termined by casting lots.
WHERE two persons are to be
nominated for the same Office, the
two candidates receiving the high

mated" "
Fifth. That under the provis-
ions of this section, the said William
B. Shuck, the petitioner, respect
fully requests the Chairman of said
convention to declare the said Will.
lam Shuck one of the nominees of
said party for the Office of county
commissioner.
Sixth. That the amendment Of
said rules which reads as follows:
That hereafter when two candi-
dates are to be nominated as two
members of the legislature, two
county commissioners or two county
auditors, each voter shall vote for
one candidate from the district ly-
ing North of the Susquehanna river,
and one candidate from the district
lying south OF the river" is not in
the way of the petitioners claim.
Said amendment does not repeal
expressly or implicitly Section four
above quoted. 1t only directs how
each voter shall vote. There is
not word or line in the same,
which requires the convention to
nominate a candidate for said Office
of commissioner from the North
side of the river aud one candidate
for said Office from the South side
of the river.
The absence Of such repeating
clause, shows that it was not the
intention to repeal section 4. The
petition further refers to the circum-
stance in support of his claim, that
nine years ago, Hon. William
Krickbaum, and Mr.. John w.
Gordon, two candidates from the
North side of the river were nomin-
ated and elected commissioners by
such convention, on the ground
that they received the highest num-
Der Of votes. This precedent should
be followed by the convention.
Moreover, Mr.. George w. Sterner
and Mr.. Bogart. our present county
commissioners, are both from the
North side. Until Section a of
Article II above quoted is repealed
the petitioner claims that he should
be declared the nominee of the con-
vention with Mr.. Pohe, and most
respectfully requests the convention
so to declare by its chairman, and
in case of his refusal SO to do, to
appoint committee to pass upon
the claims of the petitioner.

Elected TO Chair Ct History.

DIR. Paul +. Peck, of the depart
ment of History at the Normal
School, was on Tuesday apprised OF
his election to the chair of history
in the Iowa College at DesMoines,
Iowa, from which institution he is
a graduate. The doctor is one OF
the most popular members of the
Normal faculty, and the fact that
he has decided to leave will be
deeply regretted. He had just
about completed arrangements pre-
paratory to taking a trip abroad,
but has now changed his plans, and
will devote his vacation to shaping
his affairs in order to be ready to
accept his new position in the fall.

X c BAKING POWDER.
The Best Example Of What a Pure
Baking Powder Should Be In DUAL.
lev and Drir.

A popular and efficient baking powder re-
quircs two things-iirst, that the food made
with it shall be absolutely wholesome
second, that II shall be sold ut a reasonable
price.
In talking about the hcalthfulncss Of
baking powder, II must be remembered
that baking powder is not an article OF diet
any more than compressed yeast. One
would be quite as Objectionable for food as
the other except that of the two the blk-
ing powder might be preferable.
We do not eat either baking powder or
yeast. What we do eat is the biscuit and
bread raised with them. When placed upon
the Ia BILE no yeast remains In the bread aud
no baking powder IN the biscuit. Both
lcavening agents have been destroyed in
the acration and the baking; otherwise, in
stead of light bread and biscuit we should
have mass of heavy. hard baked dough.
One well-known brand. X & Baking
Powder, Is sold under a t0l.OOJ guarantee
Of its healthfulness and purity. There can
be no doubt that baking powder so guar
antced Is absolutely wholesome and perfect
ly reliable Even II ii did remain In the
food IL could do nothing but good

cent an ounce, II 1t costs more the price Is
