Republican State Candidates Here.

Tionesta had visitation from the Re-
publican candidates for State Treasurer
and Auditor General, respectively Hon.
j. A. Stober and Senator A. f. Sisson, on
Monday night. They were accompanied
by Speaker John f. Cox of Allegheny,
and Capt. j. F. Austin of Cory, and the
distinguished party was met at the station
by Hon. q. A. Randall and a delegation
of citizens and escorted to the Central
Hotel, where an informal reception was
held till late in the evening, and during
which great many people from all Sec
tions of the county met aud shook hands
with them, it being the first dav of court
week and many from out-of-town being
present. The callers were very favorably
impressed with the candidates, who are
men Of integrity and ability and who are
most popular where they are best known.
There seems to be nothing in the present
campaign TO arouse more than the ordi-
nary party opposition, and so it is reason
able to suppose that they will be elected
by the usual large msjorities. The party
left on the 1853 train north yesterday
morning to continue their Journey
through the state.
Senator Penrose, in his speech at Al
toona Thursday night said:
Pennsylvania Republicans have moth
ing to apologize for in this campaign.
Our treasury is free from debt and our
Auditor Generals department has shown
a wonderful vigilance in the collection of
this money which comes from tax on
corporations. There is not a citizen who
pays one cent for the maintenance of the
State government. The appropriations
for charity are many times more than
any other state. In the long history of
Pennsylvania under Republican admin
istration the state has never lost a dollar
by malfeasance or neglect Of any of its
fiscal officers.
"0ur candidate for State Treasurer has
had long service in the legislature and
good business training, He is one OF the
great army of men who offered his life in
the preservation of the navy. l am told
that he is the most popular individual in
Lancaster, the third Republican County
of the State. He is fitting representative
to uphold the high standard of honesty
and excellence of the treasury depart
ment. In Senator Sisson we have a man
whose legal training aud long service in
the senate makes him an ideal incumbent
of the Auditor Generals Office"

Against Leagthening School Hours.


The following appeared in recent issu,
of the Grit, and is written by the princips
of the Kellettville high school:
"Eor longer school hours" is the sub
iect of the article that won second prize in
Grit's issue of Sept. 3. This contribution
is the first of its character that ever saw

the writer, viz that school hours be in.

OUR democratic friends are becoming
sgitated in spots over their State ticket
this year. Inasmuch as the part they will
play in the election next November will
be largely perfunctory, their sporadic
protests against the Republican nominees
will not cut much figure in the outcome.

themselves "the decent, self-respecting
voters OF Pennsylvania" will be panied

The voice of the people of Pennsyl-

of the party of the great majority of our
people, rings out clear and strong for the
maintenance of the protective tariff
principle. The old Keystone State has
never wsvered in its allegiance to the
policy that has fostered American wage

The pelican is not an attractive bird.
He offends both the eye and the nose.
But he Is commercially regular in his
habits. The parent birds catch fish and
after eating their fill deposit the others
in their pouches under their bills and
carry them to their young. These
pouches will hold from three to eight
pounds Of fish. They are elastic and
when distended TO their utmost nearly
touch the ground. When empty. the
pouch lies close up under the big bill!
and is merely mass of wrinkles. 1t is
this pouch that gives the pelican his
characteristic and disagreeable odor.

The pelican's legs are short and strong,

NO HEIRS TO THE PROPERTY
State of Wisconsin Is Made Richer
by $4,000. =

Madison, Wis, Sept. 27.-The state
Of Wisconsin is richer by some $4,000
by reason of sale of real estate at
which State Treasurer Dahl acted as
auctioneer and Matthew Lampert, a
clerk in the state land Office, as clerk.
The sale was of some valuable pieces
of real estate in the city of Milwaukee
and vicinity which had become the
property of the state through the death
of persons without heirs, the law be-
ing that property to which there is no
heir becomes the property of the state
of which the decedent is resident at
the time of his death.
The property has to be held in trust
by the state a year for the appearance
of heirs and then, if none appear, it is
sold.
