We agree most cordially with the
sentiments expressed in the following
article from the State Gazette. There
is no doubt that Mr.. Wood will be re-
nominated and his election will sure
ly follow:
There seems to be feeling in pol
itical circles that Congressman Ira
W. Wood should be renominated next
fall, and the people of the district that
he represents will undoubtedly ap.
prove that disposition.
"Since Mr.. Woods election to the
otficesof Congressman this district has
been. faithfully represented. The in.
terests of the people have been his in
terests, He has taken the time and
trouble TO travel from one end of the
district to the other, with the pur-
pose of finding out what his constitu-
ente desired, and no matter how small
and nnimportant that desire might be
Congressman Wood has done his best
To satisfy it
Besides. being a worker along the
lines of his congressional duties, Con
gresham Wood has made himself
popular socially in the national CAPT
tai where he has been ably assisted
by his sister. Miss Ella Wood
I've are Of the opinion that the Re-
publican party could nominate no man
stronger politically in this Congress
sional district than Ira W. Wood.

All the living members of the

who threw the Ballot Box in Copper
Hill Creek, for the purpose of destroy
ing the evidence that would have
landed every one Of them in States
Prison, are against the Voting mach
inc.
Some people who favor honest cleo
tions are opposed to the voting mach
inc; every one who favors dishonest
elections are also opposed to the
machine; If this combination succeeds
in voting out the voting machine the
people who favor an honest election
will in the future regret that they
were so easily fooled.

Electrical Wizards Home,

/ Three miles below Washington =
Crossing, in the Delaware river, the
spot where Washington crossed the
celebrated stream, there is an island,
with an electrical wizard as the sole
occupant. To the initiated visit to
this place would be hair raiser, says
the Doylestown Mirror. James Willis
j is the tenant, and Willis Island is the
island on which he has his cozy bung
allow, which from the outside looks
harmless enough To the curious
ones who row over and look about at
first 1t seems to be simply well con
structed bungalow. When the door
is opened, however, it is suddenly il
Illuminated by many electric lights and
several ten-inch gongs begin iangling.
The wizard is never surprised by VS.
itors. He surprises them. Welcom-
ing his callers always in friendly
manner. Willis invites them inside
and proceeds to astonish them with
the wonders of his home. Every OBJ
ject is connected with some electrical
appliance, light or bell. Pick up an
umbrella, pipe or magazine and bell
gives the alarm. Move chair, open
the Ice chest or try to steal broom
aud an alarm is given. Electricity,
generated by water power, is connect
ed with everything. For long time
the hermit was bothered by rats, but
his genius suggested means of de-
stroying them. He produced an cleo
trio trap approached over leaden sur
face, which serves as a negative zone.
The food is placed on the plate which
is the positive factor. Mr.. Rat puts
his nose to the dish and is instantly
killed.
