According to q Kansas City paper
timed meats have advanced from
ninety cents to $l.75 per dozen for
quarter pound cans. Perhaps there
is that much difference in the cost of
the goods, but whether so or not,
the public would rather pay the
price and make sure they were not
eating offal. Government inspection
is a boom to the packers, instead of
a hardship. The stamp =" U. S. In
spected and Passed" is guarantee
that carries the goods into every
market of the world. The trade has
responded instantly to the new con-
ditions and more timed meat will
be sold in the future than ever be
fore.

The Hotel at Forksville was totally
destroyed by fire eall ly Sunday morn
ing and practically all the contents

j. T. Altman. secretary Of the Penn
sylvania state grange. remarks that
recently at grange picnic a gentle
man. not farmer, extolled the farmer
TO the skies. AS he saw it, the farmer
is the most independent man in the
land. He can scarcely know a want
that he cannot himself supply. His
wife enjoys paradise. and his chill
dren are the healthiest. happiest and
most contented to be found anywhere.
There Is nothing Of which he can justly
complain.
Soon after farmer who owns two
good farms and house in town was
heard to say
"The farmer is not respected by any
body. He gets no public recognition.
When he goes among other people he is
sncered at as only farmer. He is dis
criminated against by legislators and
business men. He pays the bulk of the
taxes, and others fix his prices for him
A 5000 check will be required to pay
my taxes this year. am tired of it
My properties are in the market"
| There is some truth in what the frs!
man said. too much truth in the state
ment of the second. The mission of the
grange is to realize for the farm as fai
as possible the dreams of the first and
to correct the evils complained of by
! the second.

THE members of the Pennsyl-
vania legislature are wanting their
salaries raised. And why not? Our
Legislators have the example of our
United States congressman who only
a week or two ago voted to increase
their salaries from $4,000 to $500.
Possibly if they are given more sal
ary there will be less graft.

In the opinion the of Franklin
Evening News there will be "some
lively times in the legislature over
the subject of vaccination" as oppo-
nents of the measure will make a
vigorous fight to wipe it off the
statute books. Members from the
various interior counties were elect
ed on platforms calling calling for
repeal or modification of the law.
State Health Commissioner Dixon
will vigorously oppose anything in
the nature of a repeal He will
probably AJAX the legislature, how
ever, to make some change in the
law to bring it into harmony with
the compulsory education act.

Some of the railroads of this coun-
try have discovered that they made
mistake when they fixed the age
limit of men who enter their employ
at thirtyfive years and they have
raised the limit to forty years. Poss-
IDLY the chief reason for this change
of base has been the difficulty encoun
tered by the railroads in securing
competent men under thirty-five
years in their several branches, q
fact which goes to show that it is moi
always thh young men who make
the best employees
The sentiment which seemed to
prevail among railroad companies
and other corporations that Il man
loses his best faculties when he has
attained the age of sixty, so prevalent
some years ago, has undergone IL
change and the railroads at least
have discovered that it is Impossible
for them to run some of their depart
ments without the assistance of older
men who have learned wisdom with
the passage of years and who are able
to do more and better work than it
is possible to induce young men to
perform.
DR.. Osler's edict against old men
in position requiring the exercise OF
brains has not been obeyed to a very
large extent by the companies which
are wise enough to look after their
own interests and who are willing to
have men about them who are trust
worthy, though not so active, instead
of filling their places with young,
who have other matters to distract
their attention from their duties a
employees. But the young men will
learn; and with age they too will
prove as valuable to their employers
as the old men of today are.

The wall that the meat packers
sent up when the demand was made
that their products should be inspect
ed to make sure that they were clean
and true to name was wholly unnec-
essary. The storm that beat upon
then merely blew them into the
harbor surer trade and larger profits.
Notwithstanding the Government i
bearing the entirec,sts of inspection
of their goods, they have advanced
the price of canned meats from TWEEN
ty to one hun lred per cent. This is
probably due to the fact that they
are actually putting potted chicken
into the cans instead of pork scraps
corn meal and spices which before
went un ier that name.

Trained nurses will hereafter be
placed on the same footing as people
engaged in other professions if the
Mumna bill, introduced in the

1t provides that any graduate
nurse desiring to practice her pro-
fession must obtain license from
the prothonotary of the county in
which she resides, provided she shall
present her diploma with training
school at public hospital for at least
two years where she had practical
and theoretical training. Graduate
nurses from outside of the state can
obtain a license but must be identi-
fled by resident of the county. A
penalty for the violation of the act
is fine of fifty dollars. The bill

When man is seized with grip
his first thought is Of seeing a doc
tor; his second of calling on his
friend the undertaken. and his
third of paying his debts. Men are
the most peculiar persons when
they are sick or imagine they are
sick and a good case of grip will
cause them to think that the end
of life is not far distant. Aud when
grip grips a man he makes more
fuss than woman does when she

is not a joke, as the hundreds of

FARMER LOSES HIS CASH.
Two Men Are Accused of Robbine
Him of $500.

An aged former, 0. d. Billings, re-
siding in the north part of Aurora
county, was relieved of S420 in bills.
Two young men. Harry Davlin and
Other Hull, residents of P~lankinton,
are charged with the crime and have
been bound over to the circuit court
by Justice Agnes. According to Mr..
Billings testimony the two men came
to his place, where he resides alone,
and upon the pretense of wanting to
purchase a mule from the farmer,
Davlin went with him to the pasture,
while Hull remained at the barn. At
ter an absence of about twenty min
utes the old man returned and on go
ing into the house discovered the loss
of his money. He at once gave chase
and arrived in town but a few min
utes behind the two men. The ac-
cused parties admit being at the farm
er's place, out deny taking the money.
Davlin is a married man and comes
of good family. Hull is a graduate
of the reform school and bears a
shady reputation. Before coming here
his residence was Elkton. Davlin Sc
cured bonds, but Hull was compelled
to take up his residence with the sher-
if.
Billings money has not been re-
covered.

Tuesday afternoon vas an eVentful
one in the Kaufman murder trial at
Flandreau. Features of the day were
the direct and cross examination OF
Peter Erickson. the former hired man
Of the Eaufmanns, and the star Wit
ness for the prosecution, and Kisses
and two other demonstrations on tine
part of the immense audience in the
court room, the Kisses and applause
operating TO the distinct advantage or
the cause of the prosecution.
That the bane of the Kaufman
case, which already had divided sew
eral communities in the state, has
been cast over his community IS
shown by the practical unanimity with
which the hundreds of spectators who
crowded the court room gave spon-
taneous and forceful vent to their
sympathy with the state and resent
mcnt towards the defendant.
The Kisses came while Erickson was
testifying in reference to the pool OF
water incident. Coming from the
brewery one day, where he was en-
ployed. in response to a telephone
message from Mrs. Kaufman he
found Agnes Polreis lying on the floor
in a pool Of water.
VIVA do you think of that?' Mrs.
Kaufman. he stated, asked him.
The witness then went on to tell OF
what occurred. stating among other
things that Mrs. Kaufman told him
sch had put hot water on the girl for
the of getting her up. S.
No sooner had Erickson concluded
telling of the incident than the vast
throng of people, who had been keyed
up to the highest pitch, gave ven to
