USED SPECIMEN BALLOTS.
Official Kind All Used, the Pink Ones
Were Hrought Into PLAY.

Up in one of the districts of Banks
township, when the ballot box was
opened, it was found to contain two
pink specimen ballots, marked, and
the board counted them, just as
though they were official ballots.
This is the way it happened. The
election district did not receive as
many ballots as should have been
provided, and before the closing Of
the polls the supply was exhausted.
As more voters were expected, the
Judge of election took several pink
specimen ballots, had the entire
board aflx their signatures to them
as a means of their identification as
authorized" ballots, and two of
these. were then marked and deposit
ed in the box by qualified voters.
While this proceeding may not have
been regular or legal. and was very
unusual, still it appears to have been
done in absolute good faith. Mauch

NEGOTIATED WITH GERMS OF
TYPHOID.

New York, Feb. 24.-Fort Wada-
worth is a huge scientific laboratory
to-day. over 800 officers and men
have been inoculated with typhoid
fever germs in a voluntary aid to
science. Major F. r. Keefer, Of the
medical corps surgeon in charge of
the post, was the first, and the hypo-
dermic needle sent 500,000,00O
germs surging under his skin.
Every one of the soldiers at the
post, officers and men, caught the
fad quickly. were vaccinated, and
each boasts a miniature case of ty-
phoid. Recovery is rapid, however,
and but one hospital case has re-
suited.
Typhoid fever is the scourge of
the American army, declares Major
Keefer. In the war with Spain
there were 2O,73O cases and 1850
deaths.

ENTIRE NEW GOVERNMENT FOR
PENNSYLVANIA.

A state campaign which is to open
soon will be the most important in
recent years. Seldom in the history
of the state has there been such an
array of offices to be filled at a
single election. These include a gov
ernor, lieutenant governor, secre-
tary of internal affairs, state treas
urer, 32 Congressman, &c state SEN
ators and 207 members of the House
of Representatives. The men elect
ed to the House are to name a United
States Senator for a full term of six
years.
Thus the choice of the voters in
the campaign about to begin will
determine the course of law making
in Pennsylvania and largely influ-
ence that at Washington for two
years, and dominate the entire state
administration for four years, for
the officers now to be elected will
manage not only the executive, in
ternal and treasury departments,
but will either constitute or appoint
the majority of the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings at Harris
burg, which manages the business
affairs of the Commonwealth; the
Board of Revenue Commissioners
with supervision over the collection
of personal property tax and the
selection repositories for state mon
ey; the Board of Pardons, with it's
great power over life and liberty,
and other boards and commissions
charged with important public du-
ties.
With the exception of the Auditor
General and twenty-four who hold
over, every officer and employe of
the state government will either
be elected this year or be subject
to the appointiye authority of one
of the officials thus elected The
people of Pennsylvania are about
to name virtually an entire state
government.

Make free use of printers ink.
Talk to the world about your busi-
ness-the line of goods you carry;
their style, peculiarities and adapta-
bilities. In purchasing do so with
care, remembering that goods well
bought are half sold. Make careful
selections, buy cheap, and make the
selling price reasonable. Tell the
people what you will do, and do as
you advertise every time. Send
out your messages every week. The
people look for it and are disap-
pointed if they see it not; and it is
often the case after your long sill
ence, the constant appeals of others
have caught the eye and drawn
thitherward many a good customer
you once had, who is now patron
of him who neglected not to tell
where to go to get what he wanted.
at reasonable rates. This is as it
will be, and as it should be, in this
busy age. People take and read the
paper for a purpose, and one is to
find out where they can get what
they want without spending day
hunting over town to find it. The
merchant who apprises them of this
fact. in judicious way, will be the
one that catches the trade, builds up
lucrative business, and makes his
calling a success.

MINISINK BATTLE GROUND.
Effort Being Made TO Have Famous
Site Preserved.

Horace E. Twichell is soliciting
subscriptions for the purpose of pur-
chasing the site of the battle of Mini
sink. Mr.. Twichell has made spec
ial study of the battle of Minisink,
which took place on July %, 1878,
east of the Delaware river, near
Lackawaxen, and is making an effort
to have the spot where so many early
settlers were massacred by the In
dians properly protected. The site
is to be decided to the Minisink Val
ley Historical Society.
Mr.. Twichell's plan is that the
Minisink Valley Historical Society
shall take title to and enclose the site
of the battle of Minisink and proper
ly protect it and the monument
thereon. His plan has the approval
of the society.
Mr.. Twichell also hopes to erect a
monument to Colonel Tusten, who
led the settlers in the Battle of Mini
sink and was killed.

WHERE LIFE is STRENUOUS.
One Dollar Reward for "shooting
Up" Hungarians.

The Good Roads Committee of
the Board of Supervisors, of Orange
county, N. Y, was down in the town
of Newburgh. Monday, acquiring
rights of way for the Newburgh-
Cedar Hill road. They found a very
interesting section of the country
where the slate-ribbed hills are coy
cred with fruit orchards and vine
yards, almost every available acre
yielding large revenue to the indus
trious occupants. They were shown
one place of comparatively small
acreage from which $4,000 worth
of fruit had been shipped each day
for number of consecutive days
last season.
In that locality forty years ago
large dairies used to be kept, but
now there are none Here and
there a COW is still to be found, but
milk production has given way to
fruit growing.
One feature of life in that locality
would doubtless appeal to ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and al lothers whose
systems are filled with the red cor
puscle. Daniel d. Barnes, one of
the big fruit growers. informed the
committee, that the greatest trouble
connected with fruit growing was
the pillaging of the orchards by the
Hungarians brickyard hands, and
instances were cited where they had
stolen $500 worth of peaches from
one orchard in one night. 1t is the
custom to keep guns loaded with
bird-shot for these poachers and in
the fruit season doctors are kept
busy picking fine shot out of the
men who couldn't get away fast
enough A standing reward of 81
is paid to all employees who shoot a
Hungarian and some of them spent
their Sundays and holidays behind
the orchard fences waiting for
chance to project load of shot into
the anatomy of some fleeing brick
yarder.

BALLOTS WE'RE ILLEGAL.

The ballots furnished for the re-
cent election in Pike county. were
not legal as they did not contain
the endorsement with the fac-simile
signatures of the commissioners on
the back and as it was, in a number
of districts, a straight ticket could
not be voted on account of bungling
work in printing. This should be a
warning TO the county commission
ers not to entrust this important
work of printing ballots to novice
in the Milford Dispatch.

tlemen we're headed matrons of that
time. We clamor for more and get
less. Why? If they are losing
prestige, it is because they are los
ing intelligence and helpful quail
ties, and are not managing our
homes and training our children in
solid worth as they did. We never
used to hear much said about boys
leaving the farm, or girls having to
go out from home to earn money to
dress themselves with. The love
of finery and fashion had not been
instilled; to pay ones debts was
a higher achievement than to keep
up style, and housewifely duties
were deemed better than silks and
velvets. Martha Washington could
receive guests in linsey-woolen
gown and ply her busy knitting
needles while she conversed with
them. LAS the twig is bent the tree
is inclined. We nave given our
boys and girls the leaning towards
what they are. Keep the child in
dressed up idleness all his young
years; give him polished society
training: graduate him at the best
seat of learning; and then set him
out in the world to earn money and
establish good home. VIII he do
it? He hasn't been in the way of
doing it. We can't lay our hands
on many successful people who
came up that way. The school of
life is broader and deeper than any
set of text books can compass.
Webster was right when he said
observation and reflection is the
way to intelligence; and without
a fair degree of this commodity we
must be failures everywhere"

If | were a business man and
were given permission to manage
the affairs of the Government |
would run them at $3OO,0OO,OOO a
year less than it is now costing to
run them" BY the employment
of proper business methods" said
Senator Aldrich, the ordinary ex-
penditures of the Government can
be reduced at least 10 per cent, or
100000 year. At present
the executive departments are being
managed on obsolete business
methods or none at all. The Amer
lean people are never ruffled by re-
form or disturbed by the truth. The
cost of arranging system of mod
ern business methods would be but
a trifle compared with the great
saving made possible by their adop-
ton. From the speech of Senator
Aldrich, Republican leader of the

GO along the streets of our bor-

boys, who in the next decade, will
be the grumblers and growlers.
You will see them standing around
idle, smoking cigarettes and squirt
ing tobacco juice. In ten or twenty
years from now they will be doing
the same thing and declaring the
world has been made all wrong.
Never having made an effort to do
anything for themselves they do
not like those who have; having
nothing themselves, they look upon
every man who has gained property
or high professional reputation
through unceasing toll and economy
of time and means, as having wrong
