UNIFORM PRIMARIES.

Objection to the uniform primaries
has come from some of the townships
ON the ground that the farmers would
be compelled to 90 twice to the polls,
once for the nominations and another
time for the elections. Yet IN many of
the townships nominations are at pre-
sent made by caucuses and conven-
tions, and this places upon the voters
as much of an obligation to go to the
nominating places as the uniform prim
aries would impose. This has been the
custom in populous townships especi-
ally. No greater duty would be placed
upon the voters by the uniform prim-
ary system than has been imposed by
the old system. They can shirk the
former as they have shirked the lat
ter. But the uniform primary plan
would be more of an incentive to go
to the polls and assist in making the
nominations. There would be the as
surance that no intermediate influence
would be in the field to tempt the cor
ruptionists. 1t is hoped that the bor
oughs and the townships will adopt
the new plan without hesitation.

FOR BENEFIT OF
STEVENS MEMORIAL

There will be only one evening ell
tertainment during institute week and
this will be one which should interest
all friends of the common schools, as
aside from the interest of the enter
tainment itself it is designed to hon
or the memory of Thaddeus Stevens,
the great advocate and supporter of
the public shcools in those days when
the system needed champion such as
Mr.. Stevens. AS explained III a pre-
vious issue the Stevens memorial will
take the form of an industrial school
for INDECENT orphans. The proposition
is to erect 5000, 020 building with an
endowment fund of $500, 000 The
money left by Thaddeus Stevens for
such school today amounts to about
$50, 600. The Legislature has appropri-
ated $50, 900 toward the project Sixty
three counties of the State have in
dicated desire to participate in the
movement and now little Montour
goes on record as one giving practical
assurance of more or less substantial
aid. Governor Pennypacker is warm
friend of the movement and the prop
osition to hold the entertainment
here for the benefit of the fuud is in
line with the recommendation of State
Superintendent n. G Shaeffer, as set
forth in the recent article.
The entertainment for the benefit of
the Stevens memorial fund to take
place here on Thursday evening, Dec
ember 9Th, will be in the form of a
eading or recital and will be given
by Miss Lands, of Millersville, a tai
ented and cultured young lady, especi-
ally accomplished in her line. She is
the daughter of Hon. John H. Lands,
former member of the legislature and
at present superintendent of the Unit
ed States mint at Philadelphia. Miss
Lands will be accompanied by her ia.

talk on "Thaddeus Stevens. " Mr..

Boy Shot With Revolver.

The dangers of inexperienced hand
ling of firearm has again demon
strated and as consequence Thomas.
the twelve year old son of William
Schlegle, Of Shamokin. is lying in .
critical condition at the Miners hos
pital with but very slight hopes for
his recovery
MONDAY afternoon together with a
youth named Tyson young Schlegle
went out on the hillside near his home
i TO shoot mark with an old revolver.
In his endeavors to cock the trigger
Schlegle was unsuccessful and Tyson
went to assist him. He took the revolv
or, which was an old style one, and
was engaged in trying to get the trig-
ger back. Young Schlegle was stand
ing close by watching. Suddenly the
ID BANNER went back short distance
and before Tyson could lock it in
position there was a loud report, fol-
lowed by a sharp cry from Schlegle
who lay moaning and writhing on the
tr und.
frightened almost out of his wits
Tyson led the youth to his home and
e., hurriedly summoned DR.. Bickle. The
latter found that the ball had entered
the forehead and lodged behind the
right eyeball, bulging it from the
socket, and after temporarily treating
and bandaging the injured optic order
ed him to be removed to the Miners hos
pital. Advices from the hospital last
evening were to the effect that there
were but slight hopes entertained for
his recovery.

some new LAWS
WE MAY EXPECT

The next Pennsylvania legislature
will go into session with comfort
able Republican majority in both
branches; so the people of the State
will naturally look for the enactment
of such laws as were promised to them
before election.
There is no diversity of opinion
among the Republican State leaders,
as to the introduction and passage of
q measure giving trolley companies
the right of eminent domain so far as
may be necessary for their successful
building and operation, and the right
20 carry freight. as the Republican
platform sets forth "Iu order that the
products Of the fields and farms may
reach the market at the least possible
cost and inconvenience. This legis-
lation is demanded by farmers all
over the State. and it is predicted that
the railroad companies will not be
able to sidetrack it as they did in pre-
vious years.
An effort will be made to pass a con
stitutional bill to prohibit railroads
and transportation companies being en-
gagged in mining coal. This is for
hidden in the seventeenth article of
the constitution, but the companies
engaged in this business never accept
cd the constitution of 1874 and it is
doubtful whether they can be reache d
by the proposed legislation.
The Republican party is pledged to
pass an employers liability law. Cor
porations and large employers have
heretofore been able to prevent the en-
sctment of law which would make
them liable for damages to employees
injured during the time of their en-
ployment. If drastic bill of this
character were passed 1t is held by
labor leaders that there would be few
er accidents in factories and large est
Adjustments because employers would
take greater care to protect their en-
ployes.
a law which will extend the provis-
ions of the Shern act to county officers
and their employees is included in the
reform legislation proposed. This law
will apply to county officers all over
the State.
A bill to prohibit mercantile ap-
praisers holding any otner Federal,
State. county or city Office, was recon
mended by the Republican State plat.
form.
"A law which will meet with the ap-
proval, as it will mean more money
for local purposes, will be one to re-
turn to the counties all the personal
property tax and license fees collected
therein. This legislation is recon-
mended by the Republican State con.
vention.
Other laws proposed by the Republi-
can State platform embrace increased
appropriations to public schools, hos
pitfalls and charitable institutions, and
tSfor hospitals the separate care of the
criminal insane, the erection of dis
pensaries, hospitals and sanitariums
for the treatment of consumption and
liberal appropriations for the construc.
tion Of public highways throughout
the State.

COUNTY DIRECTORS
ASSOCIATION

County Superintendent c. W. Derr
having fully arranged the program for
teachers institute is giving thought
to the annual meeting of the Montour
county school directors association,
which will take place sometime
in January. He is casting about for a
good practical speaker for the occas-
ion, and as soon as he secures one he
will arrange a program for the meet.

The annual meeting of the school
directors association takes the place

erly feature of the county institute.
1t is an improvement on the old order
One or two practical addresses, the
reading of papers prepared for the oc-
casion and general discussion in

directors an opportunity to learn what
is new and most approved in methods
of instruction and in school manage

meeting is entitled TO n per diem OF

3 cents per mile, paid by the district
in which he serves.

A MANS MOTHER.

The Venango Daily Herald is with
in the realm of truth when it declares
, that "no man ever gets so old that he
can afford to be ashamed of the natur-
al love Of his mother. Some young
men who have just sprouted up from
boys appear to think that there is a
great disgrace in showing a loving
tenderness for their mother in public.
Nothing will vouoh so thoroughly for
the proper training of a man as the
fact that he still loves his old mother
and Ia not ashamed Of it, -"

MENACE TO THE FARMERS.

THE burning of barns in this part
OF the country" said farmer, is one
of the constant menaces we are expos
ed 70, and it is now very serious
matter, and causes considerable anx-
iety to me and others l know. What
should we do when a tramp comes
along and asks to sleep in the hay
NOW? Charity would say Yes, but it
is dangerous, either to let him do so
or to refuse him. The loss of farm.
er's barn at this time means much
financially. The insurance never COW
ers the loss when the crops are all
harvested, and at this time, no one
could rebuild his barn at anywhere
near the figures it was originally built
for. Farmers have more to fear in the
way of fire than property owners in
towns and cities, as the latter are pro-
tected more than we are.

PROPHETS DISAGREE.

There is lively contest on between
the weather prophets, who have been
predicting hard winter from the
fact that the muskrats' coat is thick
and the squirrels and chipmunks lay
ing in a good supply of winter food.
Others contend that since rain fell on
st. Martins day the winter is bound
to be soft. 1t seems a toss up between
st. Martins Day and the iauskrats
aud chipmunks and it will require
time to vindicate Que or the other. The
surest way is to go right ahead and
prepare for winter.

A PUBLIC

In deciding to divide his big orch
ard into small tracts and sell the
same, J. j. Hagerman will confer
upon the Pecos Valley one of the
greatest benefits of the many with
which he is credited. In spite of the
difficulty of giving personal attention
to the details of managing this great
orchard, Mr.. Hagerman has made
the enterprise pay. Then, how much
greater will be me profit on each for
ty or twenty acres when placed in
the hands of a settler who a de-
ote his entire time to caring for a
small orchard.
The Record has reason to believe
that Mr.. Hagerman has for some
years had in mind the subdivision
of mis- orchard into smaller tracts
n selling all but the home place,
after he had demonstrated to his
own satisfaction that by so doing he
would be comforting a benefit upon
the community. He did not wish to
become a monopolist-it was the joy
