McHenry's Good Work.

Washington, d. c., March 23.
Special Correspondence.
That Representative John G.. Nc
Henry's earnest work in Congress
is attracting wide spread interest
may be inferred from the following
comment in the Washington HcraM
Of March 10:
The House Committee on Mines
and Mining yesterday listened to
the testimony of several mining cX-
perts in its hearings on the McHen-
ry bill, proposing to create Bureau
of Mines and Mining under the
Department of Commerce and
Labor.
Former Governor A. B. Fleming
of West Virginia and l. c. White
of the same State, appeared before
the committee and testified to the
advantages which would accrue to
the mining interests of the country
through the formation of such a
bureau.
Governor Fleming is the owner,
in part, OF the great mines near
Fairmount, West Virginia, in which
the great disaster of the early will
ter occurred. His testimony was in
favor of the bill as was that of Mr..
White"
Mr.. McHenry proposes to urge
the passage of the bill with in.
creased energy in view of these
favorable opinions of experts and
mine owners. He made a most elo-
quent and forceful speech in sup
port of the measure on "Wednesday
afternoon, a copy of which hope
to be able to supply for publication
next week.

ion. OF Our newspapers | regard

The big newspaper is a business

enough hasn't the training of an

write editorials Tor him.
The editor who has kept him
self alert with what is going on is
so busy that he doesn't accumulate
money. Great city newspapers are

others. The man who is not per-
mitted to put his conscience i'll

WatsOntOWn Man Heir to Millions.

Samuel Raup, Of Watsontown,
says the Sunbury Daily, is an heir
to great estate in Germany in
which several Sunburians are inter-
ested, and by the establishment of
his claim the difficulties attending
the disposal of the estate will large
ly be overcome. The Countess
Maria Ursula Won Peterhaltz, heir
ess to an estate of $Ioo, 900, 900
owned by her father, in Germany.
came to Pennsylvania in 1850, and
married George Raup, a handsome
employee of her fathers. They had
nine children, of whom eight have
been located by the heirs. The
ninth, Philip, disappeared. and
there was considerable difficulty ex-
perienced by the heirs of the other
eight in settling the estate with no
knowledge of him. Mr.. Raup, of
Watsontown, has in his possession
the marriage certificate of his grand.
father, who was Philip Raup, the
missing heir. The slight change in
the name doubtless came about in
the many years that have elapsed
since his death, and probably was
the reason for his not being found
before. Attorney Chamberlin, of
Milton, has charge of Mr.. Raup's
claim and will endeavor to estab-
lish it.

The Trout Season.
Streams Promise to be In Better Condition
this Year.

Only one more month until the
trout season will be on. Then the
mountain streams will be whipped
from mouth TO head. Successful
trout fishermen are of the opinion
that the streams will be in much
better condition this year than last
season. They contend that the
winter was quite favorable to the
propagation of spotted beauties"
Trout fishing. at least with the ar
tihcial fly, is considered great sport,
and there are many fishermen who
seldom use the red worm or other
similar bait, except in the early
part of the season.
