A Wonderful Clock.

A clock which the inventor claims will
run 1000 years was recently constructed
by an Englishman. The motive power
is small piece of gold-leaf which is
electrified by smalNquantity of radi-
um salt. He also claims that it will
keep correct time but costs about one
thousand dollars to make. Among med
iciues' the most wonderful is Hostel
-ter's Stomach Bitters, being first COM
pounded "a years ago. 1t should there
fore appeal to every sick man or woman
who desires 70 be made well again.
One trial will convince you that there
is nothing else like it for curing sick
headache, flatulency, poor appetite,
heartburn, sour risings, dyspepsia, in
digestion, cramps, diarrhoea, or malar-
la, fever and ague. Try it today. 1t
is guaranteed under the pure drug act
OF June 80, 1906.

Old Goals Were Rekindled.

The marriage of DR.. George E.
Repp, of Dayton, Ohio, to Miss Elite
F. Garman, of Shady Grove, near
Waynesboro, Pa, few days ago, was
the elimination of an interesting ro-
nance Of twelve years ago. At that
time DR.. Repp lived near Clay Hill
and Miss Garman lived near Shady
Grove. They were lovers and were
then pledged to be married. There
was Misunderstanding and DR.. Repp
left for the West. He married and
three children were born to him. His
wife died several years ago.
A few days ago DR.. Repp came
East on visit to his old home. He
boarded a trolly car at Greencastle

Repp recognized Miss Garman and
his love for her revived. He asked

ing to festival at Zullinger. She
consented and for several evenings
DR.. Repp called. He was soon de-
claring his love for her and finally
asked her to become his wife. She
consented, as she had never ceased to
care for him, though many years had
passed.
DR.. Repp, remembering his former
experience with Miss Garman, urged
an immediate marriage. Miss Garman
pleaded for few days time, in order
that she might prepare her trousseau
The prospective groom, however, won
her over and she consented to an i'm.
mediate wedding. They boarded
trolley car at Shady Grove, and going
to Greencastle, found minister and
were married. After the ceremony
they left for Dayton, Ohio.

A SEQ. GOO. ooo surplus.

Tie enormous imports have been
partially, at least, responsible for tbe
excellent fuancial condition Of the gov
eminent. 1t is estimated that the sur
plus financial receipts for the fiscs : year
viii exceed the expenditures by nearly
800, O00, 900.
Secretary Shaw's estimate OF the sur
plus for the fiscal year 1907 was s5S,-
900, 600. or about $S2, 600, 600 short of the
actual figures. The surplus is IL per
cent. Of the total revenue.
The net surplus of the government
since 1900 aggregates the enormous sum
Of 1874, 196, 949. An authority estimates
the receipts for the fiscal year 1905 at
over Sic, 100000.
By putting up" the price Of spool
cotton one cent spool, the Spool Cot
ton Trust will increase their annual
receipts 100000. We often hear
of what the federal government is go.
ing to do to these trusts, but the gov
eminent can do nothing, because the
government itself is doing just what
these same trusts are doing. 1t is a
practical certainty that when the fig.
ures are made up the government
receipts for the fiscal year will be found
to have exceeded the expenditures by
something like nintey millions of dol
lars. No doubt a surplus is better
than deficit, nevertheless the possess
ion of go vast sum is temptation
to extravaganza. That the people
should be compelled to pay into the
treasury of this country from their
hard-earnel money such an enormous
sum when the government has no
actual need for it is certainly bad
management, to say the least. This
ninety millions is not needed to run
the government, so the wise financial
interests see to it that this same money
is deposited in certain banks or sub
treasures, and by these banks loaned
back to the people at from 5 per cent
to per cent interest. This is a matter
that every citizen should be interested
in, and should think about. For each
one of us has contributed to the gov.
eminent ninty million dollar surplus
fund, and only in the most indirect
manner have we any say as to how
this immense surplus shall be dis
posed Of. W.

dragged some distance, rendering her
unconscious. She was taken TO Der.
ryville, where she died few hours
later, her skull having been fractured.
She was 25 years of age and popular
and accomplished girl. Yesterday
Annie Locke, aged l6 years. and
Ernest Simmons, 20 years old, were
arrested and placed in Jail, charged
with placing the obstruction in the
road with a view to wrecking auto
mobiles. 1t is said that distractions
had been placed in the road at the
same place several times before.

The State of Virginia has scored a
victory over the railroads and made
Federal Judge Pritchard take water.
Recently, in accordance with the law,
the State Corporation Commission
proceeded with the necessary meas
ures to require the railroads to put
into effect two.cent passenger rate.
The railroads induced Judge Pritchard
to enjoin the commission and refused
to reduce their rates. The State au-
thorities thereupon made It plain that
they would not be subservient to the
one.man power Of federal judge,
and Governor Swanson prepared a
call for an extra session of the Legis-
lature that would in all probability
enact drastic measures. Then the
railroads surrendered. They have
now agreed to put the two-cent rate
into effect not later than the first OF
next October, and though the matter
will be taken through all the courts,
the reduced fare will prevail in the
meantime. All Of the prominent
roads operating in the State, includ-
ing the N. & w., and G.. Is O., and
the Southern, have agreed to adopt
two.cent fares.

The greatest fine ever imposed in
the history of this country was that
assessed against the Standard Oil Com
pany last Saturday in Chicago by
Judge K. M. Lands. The Standard
Oil Company having been convicted
of receiving rebates from the Chicago
and Alton Railway. Judge Lands
imposed a fine Of 500, 900. the
maximum amount provided for under
the law. In his decision, Judge Lam
dis compared the officials of the COM
pany with counterfeiters and mail
robbers, and bitterly scored them for
their willful violations Of the law. or
course the company has taken an ap-
peal, but the fact that this rich and
powerful corporation has been made
to feel the heavy hand Of justice is a
warning that monopolists of high and
low degree are reaching the end of
their string.
