-THE new board of county COM
missioners of Northumberland county
is already showing its superior moral
training over the one just retired by
annulling the big bridge contract, be-
cause hint had been circulated of
fraud and graft on the part of those
who had let it. The contract was
for bridge that was to be given by
bids. Facts and figures showed that
the lowest bid was sol 900, while the
job was given for S124,0 900. The
mandamus was issued on Monday,
Dec. II, 1905; Dec. %, 1908, plans
and specifications were filed; Dec. 80,
1905, bridge let; Dec. 81, 1905, the
commissioners term expired. This
hasty way Of disposing of business
cause very dark cloud of suspicion
to hang low over their actions, and
the new Democratic board at once
annulled the contract by returning
the company's certified check, which
they had sent as Il guarantee of the
faithful performance of their duties.
Something rotten in Denmark" is
an old expression, but when we con
slider that S73, 900 of a difference,
Denmark must be changed to North
umberland county.
Northumberland county is now
blessed with good officers. Her two
judges bear good records as able and
conservative jurists and fill the bench
with dignity and honor.
Mr.. Vondevender, serving the Sec
ond term as register and recorded, is
man that is obliging and does his
business creditibly.
Dist. Atty. Cummings, is serving
his second term and his popularity is
best shown when you know he was
elected by over 5000 votes, when
Pres Roosevelt carried the county.
Thos. Lawler, who just entered up
on his service as Prothonotary, and
who braved it all in the face of the
reform wave, is man equal to the
position he now has in charge and
will care for to the good of the county
throughout his term.
We think Northumberland is all
right now.

An old manual of etiquette shows
that the people of bygone days were
not so different from those of the pres
ent, for the treatise thinks 1t necessary
to state that one should never ask
friend where she bought her gown and
the uttermost farthng of Its cost. To
this rule, however, IN astonishing ex-
ception is made. One might ask these
things. 1t seems, IL one really wanted
to get Il gown exactly like the one In
question and were therefore asking sim
cerely for Information. Evidently in
these days, when sisters thought it
smart to dress exactly alike, it was
considered compliment to copy u
friends gown. Another interesting
statement Of this precious manual Is
that no lady looks worse than when
"gnawing a bone"

Sick
Headache

When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys-
tenn, centering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom-
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss OF
memory, inflammation, epi-
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
They stop the pain by sooth-
ing, Strengthening and reliev-
ing the tension upon the nerves
not by paralyzing them, as
do most headache remedies.
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do
not contain opium, morphine,
chloral cocaine or similar drugs.
"Sick headache Is hereditary in my
family. My father suffeSed a great
deal, and for many years l have had
spells that We're so severe that / was
unable to attend to my business affairs
for a day or so at time. During
very severe attack OF headache, took

The naming meetings of the
different political parties will soon be
held in our city and throughout the
county generally, which should be
well attended and petty ambitions
and selfish purposes laid aside for the
good, not merely of the parties nam
ing their choices, but for the city and
country. As the time approaches we
are reminded that in the borough men
will be named to fill very important
offices. That of Chief Burgess is one
that should be carefully filed by one
capable of serving the people with
good judgment and discretion, as he
will now be empowered with authority
to sit as a squire and hear cases
brought before the city government
The four councilmen and four school
directors should be selected from
among our best and most successful
business men, so that the taxpayers
may reap some benefit after their cleo
ton. The Office of tax collector, to-
day, is one worth holding, and the
candidate should be a man worthy
and capable to handle the funds and
collect the same to good advantage.
A poor director should be one that is
not of the hide-bound of either of the
two parties, but strictly parts
ian-free and liberal to wretched
mankind. Borough auditor is very
important, too; to see that all ac-
counts are properly audited. Judge
of election is considered by many as
an Office of very little Importance, but
therein lies a great mistake. An ac-
tive and well-informed Judge is one OF
the best preventitives to corIuptnes'
in politics.

SEED FOR MEADOWS.

AS rule farmers are little inclined
to ask for help in the way of advice
In working out the troubles of the
farm. A man will go to his tailor and
rely Ga the latter's judgment as to
material and cut; he will be guided
by the advice of his grocer to some
extent, and so all through the list
of those from whom he buys with the
one exception of the scotsman. This
seems to be particularly true in the
matter of the selection of grass seeds.
Seedsmen who make specially OF
grass seeds have experimental proper
combinations for use to the best eff
feet on certain soils.
1t is safe to say that if farmer
will describe in detail the character
of his soil, and the purpose for which
the grass crop is to be used, the seeds
man can make a selection of grasses
which would give much more salts
factory results than if the selection
were made by the farmer himself.
So to some extent with the State
experiment stations-many of them
have experimental extensively with
grass seeds and are in a position to
advise planters as to selection. Farm
ers ought to make more use of the
information that may be had from
numerous sources for the asking than
they do.-Indianapolis News.

OH. WE WOMEN.

man missed the mail that insured the

sigh and the remark that she must

behind the window was twice called to

4Qre he had disposed Of the author

errand was this: She had an awk-
w&rd parcel she wished to send some
0f4tanCe, and was undecided between
the mail and express. Perhaps the
@Npress ONCE had been attacked in
similar fashion, but, at all events,
she listened to a careful explanation
OF the rules of the Government and
the necessity of reducing the package
to conform with the four-pound limit.
She was advised to use the express.
as the company had facilities for such
business and were responsible for the
safe delivery Of all parcels. Then
she asked questions covering all the
ground once gone over and meditat-
ed at length between them. The
clerks patience was remarkable, but
would dislike to repeat to her scraps
Of conversation overheard after she
had taken her departure without
word OF thanks to the man or an apol-
ogy for distressing others. A dis
gusted man remarked on the stupidity
of the sex and wondered how men
were forced to deal, to any extent,
