Address all communications to THE INTELLIGENCER, DANVIM.K, FA. —IN another column will be seal an article headed "Dare Not Clean House in Mutual," which is but a slight warning to those contemplating taking out insuruiTce. At this time, and forever, if you desire to give pro tection to loved ones, be sure the com pany is good you insure in. The Mutual Life, the Equitable and sev eral others of the larger companies have been doing a great ileal of crooked work, and it was ouly by their immense business with the pub lic and the public's money that they maintained such bold fronts and im posing stabilities, "Mail is not al ways what he seems," neither can we "judge a man by his appearance." —Tim naming meetings of the different political parties will soon be held in our city and throughout the county generally, which should be well attended and petty ambitions and selfish purposes laid aside for the good, not merely of the parties nam ing their choices, but foi the city and country. As the time approaches we are reminded that in the borough men will be named to till very important oHices. That of Chief Burgess is one that should he carefully filled by one capable of serving the people with good judgment and discretion, as he will now be empowered with authority to sit as a squire and hear cases brought before the city government. The tour coiuicilmen and four school directors should be selected frojn among our best and most successful business men, so that the taxpayers may reap some benefit after their elec tion. The office of tax collector, to day, is oue worth holding, and the candidate should be a man worthy and capable to handle the funds and collect the same to good advantage. A poor director should be oue that is not of the hide-bound of either of the two parties, but strictly non-partis ian—free and liberal to wretched mankind. Borough auditor is very important, too; to see that all ac counts are properly audited. Judge ■of election is considered by many as an office of very little importance, but therein lies a great mistake. An ac tive and well-informed judge is one of the best preventives to corruptness in politics. —Till: new .board of county com missioners of Northumberland county is already showing its superior moral training over the one jnst retired by annulling the big bridge contract, be cause a hint had been circulated of fraud and graft on the part of those who had let it. The contract was for a bridge that was to be given by bids. Facts and figures showed that the lowest bid was $51,000, while the job was given lor $124,000. The mandamus was issued on Monday, Dec. 11, 1905; Dec. 22, 1 iH>.">, plans and specifications were filed; Dec. 29, 1905, bridge let; Dec. 31, 1905, the commissioners term expired. This hasty way of disposing of business cause a very dark cloud of suspicion ti> hang low over their actions, and the new Democratic board at once annulled the contract by returning the company's certified check, which they had sent as a guarantee of the faithful performance of their duties. "Something rotten in Denmark" is an old expression, but when we con sider that 873,000 of a difference, Denmark must be changed to North umberlaud county. Northumberland county is now blessed with good officers. Her two judges bear good records as able and conservative jurists and fill the bench with dignity and honor. Mr. Vondeveuder, serving the sec ond term as register and recorded, is a man that is obliging and does his business creditibly. Dist. Atty. Cunimings, is serving his second term and his popularity is best shown when you know he was elected by over (>,OOO votes, when Pres. I!o isevelt carried the county. Thos. Lawler, who just entered up on his service as I'rot honotary, and who braved it all in the face of the reform wave, is a man equal to the position he now has in charge and will care for to the good of the county throughout his term. We think Northumberland is all right now. "A Christian Statesman." [From The Westminister.] "The Hon. William Jennings Bryan lifts been rendering good ser vice for the cause of Christ in Japan. The Rev. Ci. \V. Fulton, of Kana isawa, writes as follows: " 'Mr. W. J. Bryan has been in this country for several days. His visit was in the midst of the naval maneuvres and the excitement caused by the visit of the English fleet. 15ut ha has been, enthusiastically received. He has delivered many addresses, bein kept almost as busy speaking as in a Democratic campaign! It has hoen very gratifying to note that all his addresses have had a fine moral tone, and some ot' them distinctly Christian. His Christian example as a teetotaler has been marked by the Japanese, anil his Christian character and home, life have been held up as exemplary. Ilis address at the Y. sr. C. A. Hall last Sunday evening was a strong positive expression of his faith in the essentials of Christianity. It was listened to by three or four thousand people. The visit of such a man, with his clear-cut faith and courageous stand for the religious life, cannot fail of creating a profound ini pr< s~ion upon the high officials of this country as well us upon the nation as a whole. Missionaries are very glad of his coming. 1 " G Bi/l's Opinion on the Situation Was Built Surprised and Disappointed at the Replies on His Paragra/ h pf Two Weeks Ago. SCHUYLER, JANUARY 17, 1900. MR. EDITOR:— When I wrote thut paragraph two weeks ago, calling to tho minds of the voters of this county the poopriety of seeking candi dates for the several offices to be titled next Fall, 1 did not expect to' hear so promptly from .John Lauterbox, but did from Jerry (iri.nos. I John's grievance seems to lie in the fact of unfairness toward Antony'" heretofore. If he, and many others besides, would just get to work and do something, "Ole Antony" would have no reason to complain of unfairness, nor need to stand in fear of having thj little, that is left, stolen. If the voters of the country districts will demand fair play they can have it, since they outnuuibjr thoie of the town, and any candidate from there, to win an election, must come out into the country to get the votes The plea that "them fellers" are too sharp for us. is no good. They s> imply carry their point because we allow them to. We have "fellers" who are as sharp as any in the county. . As long as we sit down and fold our hands and let "them fellars" run things, just so long they will win, and we have no business to complain about it. Now lam no politi cian, and have no aspirations in that direction and no desire to build up a political machine, even with the aid of Jerry. If John has read the papers since last November he has known the fate of the machine all over the country. The people are tired of that kind of rule and will not tolerate it any longer. It is this that makes far better times and ought to encourage every voter to do his duty instead of being so pessimistic in his views of political affairs as John seems to be. I do not know why he thinks lam paving the way togo to the Legis lature, nor what I over did to deserve such a fate. lam not willing to havo my reputation damaged by becoming a member of the Leg.s lature, especially since the pass system has been abolished and no chance for graft at the capital. If John thinks "them fellers" in tend to come to "old Antony" to steal what they still have, he must meet that fate by tying his property down good and tight and guard it day and night, as that seems to be the only way to kesp posses sion. I did not know Jerry was so badly handicapped that he cannot do anything else than to support "Scoot Ammen." 1 admire the spirit that prompts him to stick to "Scoot." It is worth something to be helped out of a bad scrape even if it does involve turkeys. : But that reason does not apply to "Mike Ilrickbill's" case. Now I don't quite think Mike wants it again. The office has been forced upon him by the gratefifl people of this county so often that it is be -1 coming monotonous, and if they continue this ho may rebel against accepting it any longer. There is such a thing as overloading a man with good things and there may be another, somewhere in the county, who might be induced to relieve Mike of the responsibilities and burdens of office long enough to give him a rest.

STEPS TO HEAVEN, The Legeud of How Mount Omi'a Stairway Wan Cat, Mount Oml, 011 the border between western China and Tibet, has the long est staircase in the world* On top of the mountain there stands a Buddhist temple, around which gather some of tlie holiest traditions of that religion and which is made a Mecca to the Chi nese. To facilitate the ascent of its slippery sides some 20.000 step 3 have been cut In the mountain, forming a single flight, up which the pilgrim toils. Because of its inaccessibility few Eu ropeans have ever visited the spot, but a number of travelers have ascended the stairway and are positive that It Is 110 legendary myth. There is a legend thnt In earlier times the pilgrim was forced to ascend the mountain without artificial aids until the monks eoncoived the p!an of requir ing every pilgrim who would gain es pecial benefit of his journey to cui a single step.

The leaf before It has opened is pre pared for the manufacture of hats. It then consist* ?f a bundle of plaits about two icet long and an Inch In di ameter called a "cogollo." The green outside is stripped off. and by means of a forked instrument it is cut into narrow strips of uniform size. The co :<>llo is next boiled to toughen tl:e fiber and hung In the sun to dry nnd bleach, when the strips shrivel into cordlike strands ready for use. It takes sixteen cogolbs for an ordinary hat and twenty-four for the finest, and a single hat U plnfifd in from four days Jo as many months, according to its texture and quality.—- Mexican f(#rai<L SEND us m A COW, Steer, Bull or Ilorse HOBiS hide, Calf skin.

Kelly By GRACE THOMSON Copyright, lUUS, by 11, Sutrlitfo No doubt he had another name, but when the gray haired old cashier had asked what his iirst name was lie had explained that Kelly was enough. "If I tell you the rest, you'll lie callin' me some kid name, an' I'm a man now," he announced. "I'm goin' t' earn my own llvlnV The cashier whimsi cally entered him upon the payroll as "Mr. Kelly," and so It had stood. Kelly had graduated to the dignity of long trousers and considered himself a veteran in the service of Edge & Lut ton when Kathleen came, a dainty, sen sitive little woman, fresh from business school and yet very milch unversed in the ways of business. She won Kelly's heart by calling him "Mr. Kelly," and thereafter any of the boys who dared play a trick on the new typewriter Invariably turned up at the office the next day with a bruised Hp or a blackened optic. Few of them played more than one trick, for when he was but six Kelly could thrash any eight year-old youngster on the block. Kathleen, all unmindful of his cham pionship, merely noticed that the boys were better behaved, and told her mother that life in a business office was not as hard as she had supposed It would be. "It's so very different from what we thought I should have togo through with," she explained, "and the little Kelly boy is Just a dear." Later on, wlien Lutton began to take notice of tlio pretty typewriter, Kath leen changed lier mind, but she did not tell her mother of the invitations to drives and the theater. It was hard enough that Mrs. Lansing should be compelled to do without the luxuries to which she had been aeeustonied during !• *r husband's life without having to I'.uow that the money that procured their bare livelihood was earned at the ( >st of keeping silent under covert in -\lt. fiiitton was careful not to make his overtures too patent, and only Ivellj w the little things which made Kath i' .'u's work so hard. She put aside his invitations with a quiet dignity that mitted of no argument, and Lutton, ji'lng at last of a campaign of courte sy, began to find fault, it was he who dictated most of the rrespondence, and there were letters i lie copied over because of some triv ia! mistake. Night after night Kath ( *n had tj remain copying letters, with !y Kelly for company. And when at Ist she sought the street she never ! ew that only Kelly's presence saved hr from further attention from Lut i >n, waiting i*i the cafe across the way. .'■• lie thought it merely one of Kelly's little courtesies, never suspecting that Kelly, idling at the window, had seen Lutton crossing the street and had di vined his intentions. Hut while Kelly's presence saved her from trouble in one way it Increased lier burden in another, for Lutton, smarting under his rebuff, grew more vindictive. The firm Was inn pool in Y. and JJ. G„ and the operations were conducted from the ofliice. Somehow in spite of caution some facts leaked out prematurely, and tho whole operation resulted In a crash from which the firm barely escaped with a whole credit, Tho whole otilce was uneasy. That there was a suspicion that same of the clerks were believed to be guilty of treachery was apparent, but John Edge would not have any one discharged un til his guilt was proven, "We must bo careful for awhile," ha had said to Lutton, when tho latter urged wholesale dismissals, "but if wo let every one out we could never again command the confidence of our em* ployees." Lutton let the matter drop, but when it was decided to make a raid on Mem phis preferred and tho news reached the exchange almost boforo tho coufoi'. enee was broken up, even the senior partner was forced to admit that some thing must be done. Lutton very promptly discovered that Kathleen bad access to all correspond ence of the firm and that it must have, been silo who in some manner had gained the Knowledge that had resulted i;\ a gain of thousand* to some one on the outside. - Even then Edge did not want to work on circumstantial evidence. "Take it easy. George," lie urged. "Watch her carefully, but do not dis miss her." And Lutton had s»U)iled Wi der his heavy mustache, lie had Btt 1, ea that he could kiil two birds with a single stou?. "That red waded kid seems pretty thick Willi the typewriter," lio said. "I shouldn't bo surprised if they worked t aether. You remember he brought a t legraiu in Just as that Memphis deal v. "ts put through." "Kelly?" said Edge. "Why, lie's a part of the oliice." "All HID same, I could show you"— ijtlgo waved 11 protesting band. He r nild not believe In tho guilt of any tun in the office. "Very well," lie said wearily, "I J. we the matter to you." Thai afternoon Kathleen waited aft er' closing 11 nip to finish off her book, l; !ly, as usual, constltatod himself her escort. but he could not resist the temp tation to steal across the street to get the baseball scopes, Lutton was there when he came back. Kelly heard him before he opon eh tho door and stood for a moment In the hall. "Bo you see," Lutton was saying, "I can dismiss yon, pud you will leave un der suspicion of having foptfayed your employers. You can't get a Job aft<T that, I fancy. Now you say you'll take 111 the beach this nuj.ng or I'll let you out tomorrow—you and that brick topped kid. Now. give mo a kiss and say you'll go.' There was a sound of a struggle, and Kelly burst into the room. "You quit that!" he said hotly. "I'm wis. to you. all right, and you make trouble and I'll tell on you." "Mr. Edge won't believe you," sneer ed Lutton. "lip." liilt ssijit alfe tt'lli retortT Lutton made a div<f for "Kelly, and the boy dodged. There was a chase around the table until Lutton, realizing thai he was cutting no digul- Ued figure, stalked out. At the door ho |>:tused for an instant. "I was just joking al>out dismissing jou, "MissLansing," he said. "1 beg that you will pardon me. We will say nothing more about it." The door slammed aud Kelly gravely executed a double shutUe. "To a stand still." he cried joyously. "You come (Mi home. 1 guess Lut won't kick If those letters don't go out tonight. If lie ,s:iys anything I'll fix It." There was a conference the following afternoon, and Kelly, as his work took him in and out of the room, seemed bursting' with excitement. Several times he eyed Lutton wan a glitter of triumph in his eye r and Lutton felt un comfortably. At last a decision was reached, aud Sears, the head of the pool, looked around the table. "Then it is agreed that we run Tennessee Southeastern up to 06V' he said. There was a murmur of assent. "We should make a twenty point profit," he continued, "unless there Is a leakage." There was a crash from the window, and Lutton, who had gone over to ad- Just the shade, turned toward them with the cord In his hand. "There ain't no leakage this time," anuounced Kelly Jubilantly. 1 tacked til? shade down." "What do you mean," demanded Edge. For answer Kelly led him to the window. "See Cunningham's windows across the. waj?" he asked. "Mr. Lutton sig nals with the curtain. I got it out of one of Cunningham's clerks. Cunning ham buys or sells aecordiug to how Lut ton tolls him, and they divide. They made twenty thou, apiece out o' that Memphis deal. Then he tried to blame Miss Kathleen for it." Half an hour later the discredited Lutton was leaving the office In which he was no longer a partner. He met Kelly coming in. "I suppose you think Miss Lanshig will marry you now?" he answered. "No such luck," said Kelly placidly. I "She's goin* to be hitched to a lawyer ' chap uptown. The best I get f'r mine Is best man; but, say, I ain't klckln'; I ain't no hog." A Judgment of Solomon. The ancient and famous Holyrood Sanctuary For Debtors fell Into disuse when imprisonment for debt was abol ished in Scotland. The most famous worthy who took advantage of It was Thomas DeQulncey, author of "Confes sions of an English Opium Eater." The sanctuary boundary at the foot of the Canongate was marked by a row of stones in the roadway, which was known as the Abbey strand. There is a most humorous story con nected with the institution, says tlio London News. A reckless debtor left the retreat and strolled up the Canon gate. He was espied by a vigilant sheriff's officer, whft promptly gave chase. The debtor turned and ran like a hare sanctuary ward. He iripped and fell at the Abbey strand, but with his head within the protected area. All the same, lie was arrested by the minion of the law and immured in the debtors' quarters In Carlton jail. Ife sued the sheriff's officer for Illegal arrest, and the court of sessions judge who tried the case gave a decision in his favor. Ills lordship held that the head, the intelligent part of the man's anatomy, which contracted the debt, was within the sanctuary and thus se cure from capture. The trunk and limbs were undoubtedly liable to ar rest, but they could not be detached from tho head without fatal injury to the subject, which was contrary to the spirit of the humane law of Scotland. The Orliilnal Paul I*rj. Thomas 11111, familiarly called Tom my Hill, was, says Dr. Brewer, the original rani I'ry. It was from him also thflt Theodore Hook drew his char acter of Gilbert Uurney, J'lanehe la his "Beeolleetlons" says of Hill; "His specialty was the accurate Informatiou ho could Impart on all the petty de tails of the domtotjo economy of his friends, the contents of their ward, robes, tlicir pantries, the number of pots of preserves in their store closets and of the table napkins in their linen presses, tho dates of their births and marriages, tho amount? of their trades men's bills and whether paid weekly or Quarterly. Ho had been on the press and was connected with the Morning Chronicle. He used to drive Matthews crazy by ferreting out his whereabouts When he .left London anil popping the information in some paper." ESlliinettt* of Bygone Day*. An old manual of etiquette shows that the people of bygone days were not so different from thoso of the pres ent, for the treatise thinks it necessary to state that one should never ask a friend where she bought her £jwn and the uttermost farthing of its cost. To this rule, however, an astonishing ex* peption Is made. One might ask these things, It seems, if one really wanted to get a gown exactly like the ono lu question and were therefore asking sin cerely for Information. Evidently In these days, when sisters thought it smart to dress exactly alike, it was considered a compliment to copy a friend's gown. Another interesting statement of this precious mauual it that no lady looks worse than when "gnawing a bone." LIQUID LITIGATION. Th.

The one thing which a woman most dreads—barring, of course, a mouse and being out of stylfc— Is a thunder shower. Many most estimable wo men of character and force who can lead great crusades and revolutionize society go all to pieces at a clap of thunder, and a good many men, too, for that matter. It Is not agreeable to be struck by lightning. Nor ts it at all necessary. There is a sure preventive—as sure as It Is simple, Inexpensive and always accessible—a pair of rubbers. If a wo man will simply put on a pair of rub bers when the lightning begins to flash and the thunder to roar and will stand on the floor so that sUe touches noth ing else she will be as safe as If she wero sealed in a glass cage. Kubbcr Jo a nonconductor of elec tricity, and if the lightning has togo through a sheet of rutiber to get at you it will leave you alone and take some thing else. In other words, wheu you have 011 a pair of rubbers and are not in contact with anything you are per fectly Insulated, This Is not u theory merely. It is a fact proved by Innumerable experi ences. A pair of rubbers has saved many a life in a ♦hnnderstorm. Tlie Sliuiurock. In Ireland only one shamrock Is known.

This- irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stom ach causes nausea, vomiting. This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in of memory, inflammation, epi lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc. Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles' Anti-rain Tills. They stop the pain by sooth ing, strengthening and reliev ing the tension upon the nerves —not by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills do not contain opium, morphine, chloral,cocaine or similar drugs. "Blck headacha la hereditary In my family.
