Good Congressional Timber.

In these days of political unrest and
the great pleasure of the American
people at the ovations to Roosevelt in
Europe, much thought is turned, by
the people, to the American Congress.
There is dei and for high minded,
able and trusted representatives to
Congress. Without any disrespect to
any other representative, the people
of this Congressional district are turn
ing their thoughts and desires to the
faithful, tried and trusted represent
atiye, Gen. Harry White, uf Indiana
Co., Pa. II he will consent to stand
for the Republican nomination In this
Congressional district hundreds will
rally to his standard.
For six years he was Senator In the
Pennsylvania Senate and an able record
he made there. He was also repre-
sentative in Congress and he made
name there which is known throughout
the whole country. For more than
three years he was soldier in the
great civil war, and through the mis-
fortunes of battle on Lees march into
Pennsylvania in 1863, he fell into the
hands of the enemy, and because of his
important and influential position in
Pennsylvania he was refused all offers
OF exchange, and 8 ed solitary con-
finement In the dungeons of their
prisons.
Gen. White has glorious record as
a soldier, as statesman and jurist.
His influence, experience and ability
still belong to the people. Hun
dreds of his old friends are urging
his candidacy and are hopeful he will
consent.

PATIENTS NOT ABUSED.
Gum Hose Used on Insane Patient
Woman Not Injured at Home.

Woihdh ANOt AhIutCb AT kAoIhC.
County Commissioners Reitz, In an
interview with representative of the
Spirit this morning explained the
situation at the county home In de-
tail, and from his statements, 1t would
appear that the first reports of the
investigation by the grand jury were
exaggerated, and that the mid recom-
mendatlons of that body was entirely
In keeping with the situation.
Mr.. Reitz states that Superintendent
Smith had used gum ose on big
Italian, the demented mi, who gave
the physicians at the Punxsutawney
Hospital so much trouble, on
occasions, WIN the big fellow
grew especially obstreperous, but that
he had at no time been I'M red or
marked by use of the cane.
The boy reported by a member of
the grand jury to have had his finger
broken when struck by Superintendent
Smith with cane, is said by Mr.. Reitz
to be a yOungster who does not know
the meaning of the word obedience"
and that he is somewhat harder to
handle than the majority of the insane
patients. The boy had his finger
slightly injured, not broken, when Mr..
Smith endeavored to fan his trousers
with light cane, and the boy placed
his hand behind him and received the
blow on his first finger.
The woman who testified that she
had been permanently injured by being
thrown against table is said to have
been injured before she entered the
institution n.-Punxsutawney Spirit.

The flames. after consuming the

Ancient Uses Of eIoodhounds.
Although the use Of bloodhoundi
ior tracking criminals still survives,
another ancient use Of these dogs
seems to have died out. Bloodhounds
were at one time often called upon
to assist an army in the field, the
forces with which the earl Of ESSEX
suppressed the Irish rebellion In ths
time Of Elizabeth, for instance, being
accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scot
fish clan feuds and the wars between
England and Scotland bloodhounds
were regularly employed in tracking
fugitive warriors, and both Wallace
and Bruce were hunted In this man
ner Wallace is said to have bafied
his pursners by killing follower and
leaving the corpse for the hound to
ind, while Bruce adopted the less
cruel plan OF wading some distances
down a stream and ascending : tree
which oyerhung the xatar.
