PENNSYLVANIA MAN TO START
OSTRICH FARM.

w. H. Hile of Bloomsbury, Pa, ar
rived in New York last week, with SO
ostriches which he had captured in
Abyssinia and which he intends to
make the nucleus of an ostrich farm.
Last year he brought over a few
young birds and they have thrived.
The surprising part of this is that
they have done we'll in a cold eli
mate, for the ostrich is commonly
supposed to be bird that demands
warm weather. Mr.. Hile says this is
not the case and intends to further
prove his theory. But his plans for
getting rich quick out of his os-
triches are really the interesting
part of the story They may bear
fruit, but they at least sound like
the hopes of the man who is about
to start raising chickens and who
calculates a million eggs from their
offspring within three years. Mr..
Hile saye that an ostrich is full
grown when IA months old and is
then producing as good feathers as
it ever will. There is a new crop
of feathers every eight months and
each bird produces about so

TO REPUBLICAN VOTERS.

l am asking you for promotion to
the office of Prothonotary. For the
past six years l have served you to
the best of my ability as clerk to the
County Commissioners and my term
will end January 1, 1912, therefore
l am asking for the nomination for
Prothonotary on the Republican
ticket. You know that my duties
prevent me from being absent from
the Commissioners Office because of
the work connected with the coming
primaries. l have given personal at
tention to the filing of petitions for
county, township and borough can
didates, and it will be necessary for
me to attend personally to the print
ing of the ballots. Mistakes will oc-
cur even with the closest attention,
but many will be discovered and cor
rected by comparing proof with pc
titions. Therefore you will realize
that | cannot go campaigning, but l
am willing to trust the people whom
l serve to deal justly with me.
l am a native of Manchester town
ship, was educated in the common
schools and academies of the county
and was for ten years a teacher in
the schools. For nearly fourteen
years l was employed by the Wayne
Independent and most of you have
met me personally. In whatever ca
pacity l have been employed 1 have
endeavored to perform my duties
honestly, fairly and in the interests
of my employer. My record is open
to any who wish to investigate.
The Office of Prothonotary and
Clerk of the Courts is an important
one and the person who fills it must
give it personal and careful atten-
ton. If am chosen to perform the
duties of that office, l pledge myself
to do this, and will guarantee to
every person fair, careful and courte-
Gus attention. will you help me?"

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caus-
ed by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube 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 condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Doh
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

scene on Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
of one of the largest and prettiest
church weddings held in this village
this year when Miss Della Harriet

church, performed the ceremony in the
presence of very large gathering of
relatives and friends of the contracting
parties. The bride was given in mar
riage by her father, and was becomingly
gowned in white chiffon satin, trimmed
with real duchess lace and pearls and
wore a white picture hat with large
pumes. She carried shower bouquet
of white roses. The bride was attend
ed by her sister, Miss Frances Piper, as
maid of honor. She was dressed in
pink crepe de chine over silk and wore
a black picture hat and carried a shower
bouquet of pink carnations, The best
man was John D. Woods and the ushers
were H. Wright Caswell, John Calhoun,
DR.. Howard L. Averill and Philip E.
Crane. John A. Arnold presided at the
organ during the ceremony. lmme-
diately following the wedding ceremony
a reception was held at the church
parlors, music being furnished by Wit
tum' S orchestra. A later reception to
immediate friends and relatives took
place at the home of the bride on Wey-
bridge street, the reception room being
trimmed with ferns and carnations.

Narrow Escape for Col. and Mrs.
tISIey.

Col and Mrs. Ilsley had very narrow
escape from serious injury last Satur-
day morning when their horses started
on run down Seminary street The
horses have been driven with a high
check and it is thought that the checks
being loosened before they started on
their morning drive was the cause of
the high spirited animals starting on
the run. When nearing the corner of
Seminary and Pleasant street the
driver, Frank Trudo, attempted to hold
them back but the foot brace and dash
board gave way which gave them free
rein and in turning the corner upset the
wagon. All the occupants were thrown
out and it was at first thought that
Mr.. and Mrs. Ilsley were badly hurt as
they were buried under the wagon.
They were quickly taken from the
wreck and conveyed to the Addison
house when it was found that beyond a
severe SHAKEN up they were uninjured
The driver, Mr.. Trudo, also escaped
injury. The horses, freeing themselves
from the carriage, ran as far as the
John Hammond place, where they were
caught.
