Rabies Kills Friend of Doq.

Scranton, May Prank Hill, aged
A years, who was great friend of
dogs, died at the Hahnemann hospital
after suffering eighteen hours from
hydrophobia in its worst form. Hill
had habit of patting on the head
every dog he happened to meet. Three
weeks ago he was playing with one of
these chance acquaintances, permit
ting it to lick his hand, on which there
was small scratch sustained while
Hill was at work in the mines DR..
John F. Snyder says Hill thus became
infected with the disease.

In noting the expense accounts of the
candidates at the recent primary election
last week as filed at the Prothonotary' IS
office in this county, the REPUBLICAN
stated that the account of w. E. Rice,
candidate for President Judge, had not
yet been filed. This may have been mis-
leading to some extent. 1t seems it is
necessary for district candidates TO file
their accounts in the county in which
they reside only, and this provision Mr..
Rice had already complied with by filing
his expense accounts covering the district
with the clerk of the court of quarter ses-
sion of Warsen county.

Concerning Third Terms.

An Associated Press dispatch to the
Herald says that between 300 and 400 let
ters are received daily at the White House
urging President Roosevelt to run again.
These letters come from all parts of the
country, it is said, from members of all
political parties, and in them various
arguments are used by the writer's to in
duce Mr.. Roosevelt to again accept a
nomination.
The letters have increased in volume
in the last two weeks and some of them
are said to be almost tragic in their ear
nestness. The writers argue that the
President is in the thick OF his campaign
for the establishment of complete govern
meut control over interstate commerce
and other reforms that it is impossible to
transfer this work successfully to another,
since Mr.. Roosevelts personality is a
powerful factor in achieving this success
that the Republican party cannot afford
TO nominate any man who is not sure OF
election, and that the President is the
only Republican who would he certain tc
defeat any other candidate.
In all Of his replies to such letters the

The Republican State convention was
held at Harrisburg a week ago today and
partook largely of the nature of ratitica-
ton meeting, that is, rstifying Pennsyl'
vania's choice for President. Senator
Knox was given the most flattering en-
dorsement in resolutions that have no
uncertain sound, and that he will be sup
ported by the solid delegation from this
state at the Chicago convention goes with
out saying. Judge William d. Porter
was re-nominated for Judge ofthe Super
ior Court without opposition. Thirty
four Presidential electors were named,
and a strong platform was placed before
the voters. Senator Penrose was en-
dorsd for re-elo ction, and the administra-
tions of President Roosevelt and Governor
Stewart were warmly commended. Col.
Wesley r. Andrews was unanimously
reelected chairman of the State COM
mittee.

NeighbOrhOOd Notes.

Most men with swelled heads wear
awfully small hats.
Joseph Donahue, aged 25 years, of
Titusville, met death by drowning while
canoeing on the creek at Mystic Park,
near that city Sunday afternoon.
While tearing down an old barn at
Clsrksville, Mercer county, on Tuesday,
workmen came upon glass jar contain
ing $500 in gold. No one has as yet put
in claim of ownership of the treasure.
G. l.. Morlock, who has been cashier OF
the Sheffield National Bank since it
opened, resigned May lst. He is sue
ceeded by A. H. Bailey, who for many
years has been auditor and general pas
senger agent of the Tionesta Valley Rail-
road.
Pearl Snyder, aged 10, committed sui
eide by drowning herself in pond with
in few yards of her home at Mosier-
town, Crawford county, Friday morning.
Her action is supposed to have been in
duced by i'll health, which had extended
over period of more than two years.
A report sent out from Brookville, JEFF
ferson County, is to the effect that Frank
Swineiord. farmer, living near Knox
dale, Saturday night shot and killed an
unknown tramp who had forced his way
into the house by kicking down the door.
Swineford fired three times to frighten
the intruder, who continued advancing
upstairs. Swiueford then killed the rob-
ber with the last shot in his revolver.
The dead man had entered and robbed
three other nearby houses earlier in the

Deafness Cnnnot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this lube restored TO its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

OUR good brother Smith, of the Punk
sutawney Spirit, who, we regret to say,
went down in the recent battle of ballots
for Congressional honors in his district.
has already forgotten the sting of defeat
and turned his attention again to writing
good things and sensible for his paper,
which, by-the-way, is quoted the world
over. One of Brer Smiths favorite top
les of discourse is mans perverted appe-
tite, and many good lecture has he
written on dietelic economy, and so it is
that when we find a good thing in his
paper we always like to reproduce it and
thus give it good circulation. Here. for
instance, is paragraph worth reading:
1t is generally admitted that the greatest
cause OF i'll health is overeating. Mans
stomach is the furnace that supplies the
power to run his physical and mental
machinery. He clogs 1t with food be-
cause of the sensual pleasure of eating
and drinking. A locomotive fireman
who would use as bad judgment about
throwing fuel into the furnace would be
discharged for incompetency in week.
Now, every sensible reader will recog-
nize the truth of this statement at a glance,
but will it do any good? Would you be
surprised to find the writer of it seated at
table devouring platter of frog legs
high enough to hide behind, with another
loaded with French-iried potatoes as a
side dish, and nothing but pot of coffee
strong enough to float goose egg to wash
it down with? We wouldn't-because
we've seen it in our day and generation.
oh, the "foolishness preaching"

President simply reminds his correspond
ents of his former declarations on the
subject and reiterates that his position is
unchanged.
In this it is pretty we'll understood that
he simply means to stand like adamant
by the principle laid down by Washing
ton and Jefferson, that two terms should
be the limit of any presidents incum-
bency.
In taking such a stand Washington
was influenced by wesriness and advsnc-
ing age, while Jefferson dared not stultify
himself The former also feared that the
followed by bitter contest, while the
latter arranged with Madison and Monroe
for continuance of his policies, and vir-
tually made them his successors.
So, strictly speaking there are holes in
the precedent; while Mr.. Roosevelt was
elected only once, as President.
Nevertheless, the people have come to
regard two terms as enough for any man,
as even General Grant was compelled to
discover, despite Roscoe Conkling's brill
liant leadership.
What Washington would have done
had the people demanded that ho retain
Office, we do not know. That Jefferson
would have regarded such call as man
datory, there can be no doubt.
But all this is merely academic. Pres.
ident Roosevelt has said emphatically
that he will not run again. The Republi-
can party has plenty of men competent to
conduct the presidential Office with an
eye single to the honor and glory OF the
cOuntrv

Witherspoon, with others, forged
a mortgage at Rich Hill, by means
of which the Walton Trust Com
pany of this city lost 5000. For
ten years the officers of the Trust
Company have been looking for
Witherspoon, and in that time
many clues have been followed
and everything possible was done
to locate him and affect his cap.

following clues Mr.. VIM. E. Wal.
ton, president of the Trust Co,
succeeded in compiling an inter.
esting history Of Witherspoon's
life. A short time ago it was
learned that the man who had
been looked for for so many years
was serving a sentence in the
Kansas p~enitentiary at Lansing,
and on Sunday Mr.. Walton went
to that place to see him. He stat.
ed his errand to the warden and
was courteously received and
given access to the penitentiary,
and was shoWnthe man he had
been looking for. Witherspoon
has been in the pe~nitentiary for
four years and is convict No.
