FARMERS who understand how TO ham
die their land and market their crops
have little to complain OF in the present
condition of agricultural industry. In
recognition of the present enviable stand
ing of the thrifty husbandman the Phila-
delphia Inquirer says: Tho reports of
bankers and commercial agencies all
over the country indicate that the farmers
were never more prosperous. There are
fewer mortgages, more hank balances,
while the demand for high grade manu-
factured goods is uneXampled. A COM
parison of wholesale prices OF farm pro-
ducts now and eight years ago shows that
they have risen almost exactly one-third.
AS the cost of farm production has little
increased, it can he seen that the farmers
are doing we'll. Those who 1--we in cities
and know what 1t costs to maintain the
table are certain that somebody must be
making money out of the increased cost.
There is demand from all over the
country for more farmers. There is
plenty OF soil that has never been
scratched which can be made to pay ex-
cellent returns. The man who in these
days prefers living in a close office to
max ing good living on farm is to be
pitied.

PEOPLE THOROUGHLY AROUSED,
Fight Against Leasing Of philadelphia
Gas Works Continues.

Philadelphia, May 22.-The oppon'
ents to the leasing OF the city gas
works to the United Gas Improvement
company continue their efforts TO de-
feat the deal. The committee of 20, a
municipal.reform organization, and the
committee of nine, appointed at a
mass meeting held to protest against
the lease, held a joint session and de-
cided to call public meeting in every
ward of the city and arrange to finance
the movement against the lease
It is the plan of these organizations
10 bring to bear all the pressure pos
sible on the councilmen to induce them
to refrain from voting for the gas
lease over Mayor Weaver's expected
veto. The mayor will be asked to de-
fer action for 10 days. He held sew
eral conferences with the members of
councils who voted against the lease,
and congratulated them on their ac-
tion. The committee of nine and the
committee of 20 passed resolutions
commencing the mayor.
Thomas Dolan, president OF the
United Gas Improvement company;
Israel w Durham, leader of the Re-
publican organization of this city, and
other party leaders refuse to discuss
the situation. Members of councils
expressed themselves as confident
that the gas lease ordinance will be
passed over the mayors veto.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly falling to cure with
local treatment. pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney IL
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspooniul. 1t acts directly on the blood
ard mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails TO cure. Send for circulars and tes-
timonials.

THE Norristown Herald finds that In
Montgomery county there is only one
divorce to $50 families, which leads it to
believe that conditions in Montgomery
are quite favorable to marital harmony.
The paper is puzzled, however, by the
fact that in two-thirds of the cases that
come up it is the wife who seeks the sep
aration. The fact is that man cannot
find as many excuses for such action as a
woman, and in general man has fewer
reasons 10 take to court

Recommendations of the Grand Jury.

At the session of court last week the
grand jury made the following report:
We have visited and inspected the
county buildings and find the Jail TO be
In good condition, but that the court
house is in need of repairs in various
halls, Cfiices and jury rooms; the cutters
and spouting of the roof, and the outside
doors; also the walk and steps on The
north side of the Jail require repairs, We
find the County Home in excellent con-
dition. We recommend that better lights
be provided for the vault in the Record
er's office, and for the offices of the Treas
urer and Register and Recorder. That
the coils in the juvenile prison be rear
ranged so as to have the door face an out
side wall, and that the outside stairway
be provided with an entrance TO the sec
ond story opposite the door to the cage;
that an electric button or other suitable
means of alarm, connected with the
sleeping quarters OF the Sheriff, be pro-
vided in each cell for use in case of
fire. We further recommend that the
barn at the county home be raised and
properly drained. We find that the pub
lie road in Tionesta township, from the
Green township line TO the Oldtown
school house, is in bad condition. We
find that there are many dead trees along
the public roads, rendering them unsafe
in many places, and we recommend that
all road commissioners be instructed to
have all such cut down.
