On the bank of the Octoraro
creek at White Bock, Lancaster
county, stands a large hollow tree.
Ed Platz, trackman on the Peach
Bottom Narrow Guage railroad, is
only 19 years old, but he is seven
feet high. He loves to fish, and
does whenever he gets the chance.
The other day he got into a canoe
which was chained to the big hol
low tree, and was soon absorbed
in his favorite sport. Ho had
fished a short time when he heard
a loud but musical sound behind
him. Looking around, he saw a
large black ball emerging from the
hollow in the tree. The ball
moved swiftly forward, and, with
out ado, settled on the Octoraro
giant's head. He knew then that
he had been selected by a swarm
of bees to hive on, and he slid out
of the canoe into the water. The
creek was not deep enough for a
dive, so the giant had to hold hitn
self beneath the water by the bot
tom. The bees did not go down
with him, but when he was finally
forced to raise his head to the sur
face to get wind he found a snug
bunch of bees waiting for him and
he had to go down again.
He crawled along the bottom
until he had to have more wind,
and he stuck his head ont again,
The bunch of bees were saunter
ing by, and seeing the head, dip
ped at it again. Down to the
bottom went the giant again, and
dragged himself along the bottom
until he had to have breath or die,
and he lifted his head once more.
The bunch of bees was gone, and
the Octoraro giant came out on
shore.
After he had breathed enough
he went to the hollow tree and
found a store of honey there, so
large that two patent pails were
required to carry it home.
Southern Antidote -For Malaria:
It is Generally known that Simmons
Liver Regulator is relied upon to secure
immunity from all malarial disorders.
Tnls is proven by its popularity, and
anyone who has lived in the south has
seen its curative effects and the protec
tion it gives against this weakening and
dangerous malady. It acts more
promptly than calomel or quinine, with
out any of their injurious consequences.
Wasn't so Fat After All.
Now another question is im
ported into this canvass, and that
is, whether the Democratic party
is in favor of free trade or "ag'in
it." Their attitude on this Ques
tion before and since the Oregon
election reminds one of the storv
of the man who went to a tanner
to sell a dog's skin and by way of
enhancing its value told the tanner
that the dog whose skin he offered
was the d dest fattest dog that
ever was killed; "but," said, the'
tanner, "we don't buy the skins of
fat doers, thev don't mslte frond
leather." "Well," said the seller,
ruminating for a moment Tipon his
blunder, "he was not "so d d
fat after all." So the Democratic
party camot out before our state
election with drums beating and
banners flying in favor of free
iraae, out alter the election they
were not so very much for free
trade after all. From Son. Geo.
S, 'Williams' speech at the Port
land Republican Demonstration,
Oct. 12.
Liberated from Their Fetters
By the helpful, genial action of that most
beneficent of aperients, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the bowels soon throw off the burden
that paralyzed and weakened them, and re
sume their normal freedom of action. The
action of the Bitters, unlike that of average
purgatives, involves no griping ordrenchlng.
It It did It would, like them, be valueless fnr
ordinary use. There is nothing ungentle or
uunaiunu aueuuing lis operation, upon me
liver, no less than the bowels. Its action Is
most benign, promoting a healthful bilious
secretion, and directing out of the wrong
and into the right channel. Conjointly with
costlveness. other bilious symptoms disap
pear when it Is systematically used, and the
stomach Is strengthened as well as regulated
by It. Malailal complaints, rheumatism, de
bility, nervousness and kidney troubles are
completely relieved by It. Sleep and appe
tite are Invariably promoted by It.
Arthur Quill, in Denver JNeios,
says. Cowboy wages are not now
nearly as good as they were in
early days. Formerly a good hand
would get $50 a month and board,
while a new hand would get 35
to $40. Now top wages are from
$30 to $35, and new hands from
$20 to $25. The days for raising
cattle on the same extensive scale
as formerly are drawing to a close,
consequent on the settling up of
the country. The bulk of the cat
tle in northwestern Texas to-day
is held in large pastures, and the
same will be the case all over the
range country before long.
Sak Feancisco, Oct. 13.
Charles E. Beach was this after
noon found guilty of subornation
of perjury in the United States
district court. Beach is a heavy
land owner of Humbolt county,
and for a number of years previ
ous to March, 1888, he is alleged
to have paid men in that county
$50 each for swearing on govern
ment timber land, under pretense
that they were going to live on
said land, but really for the pur
pose of surrendering their right to
him, by which means, it is claimed,
he has come, into possession of
large amount of valuable timber
land. Judge Hoffman ordered
Beach to appear for sentence No
vember 12th.
CAEELESS MOTHEKS.
Many mothers have permitted their
chidren to die before their eyes when
they might have been saed. Any
mother who keeps house without a bot
tle oLACKers English uaoy soother at
hand, runs a risk which she mav some
time regret. It has saved the lives of
inousanas oi emiaren, and is doing so
e er y year. J. W. Conn, Druggist.
British Schooner Seized.
San Francisco, Oct. 12. Capt.
Greenberg.of the Russian steamer
Alexander IT, which arrived to
day from Petropaulovski, Siberia,
reports the siezure of the British
schooner Aurana for illegal seal
ing by a Russian war vessel. The
captured schooner and her cargo
were taken to Vladivastock, where
the case will be investigated.

Bumor Officially Denied.
San Fbancisco, Oct. 12. CoU
onel J. M. Donahue, who has just
returned from the east, denies
that the San Francisco & North
Pacific Coast railroad has been
sold to the Union Pacific, as has
been frequently rumored since his
departure. He says bonds have
been floated to aid in the comple
tion of the road into Mendocino
county.

General Schofield will remove
to "Washington in a few weeks,
and he will probably take up his
quarters at the Ebbitt house. He
gets no increase whatever of pay
or allowances, and the actual
salary of $7,500 hardly allows the
head of the army to live as he
would be obliged to do if he kept
house and entertained.
HOW DOCTORS CONQUER DEATH.
Doctor Walter K. Hammond says : "Af
ter a long experience I have come to
the conclusion that two-thirds of all
deaths from coughs, pneumonia and
consumption, might be avoided if Ack
er's English Cough Iteniedy were only
carefully used in time." This wonder
ful Remedy is sold under a posit ne
guarantee by J. W. Conn, Druggist.
The reports of the Hydrographic
bureau at Washington declare that
the sailing tonnage of the world is

that this relative proportion is

A married ;man at "WinEeld,

printed verbatim.
A farmer at Hood river shipped
sixty sacks of potatoes weighing
about 100 pounds each to this city
a few days ago. The potatoes
sold here for forty cents per hun
dred pounds, the top price. The
freight was thirty cents per hun
dred, the drayage two cents and
commission two cents, which with
six cents for the sacks, consumed
the entire proceeds of the sale,
leaving the farmer not a cent for
his seed, the labor of plantiner, cul
tivating, harvesting and shipping
which, as any one knows who has
hoed, dug and picked up potatoes
is no trifling matter. This is not
right, and whether the wrong is in
the railway company charging $-18
per ton for freight, or in the pota
toes bringing such a low price is
what is puzzling the poor farmer.
It is pretty tough to work all sum
mer and after sending one's crop
to market not get a cent for it
and have no potatoes either.

Sweet Oil in Scarlet Pever.
A physician tells of a simple and
effectual treatment for scarlet fe
ver. It is the application to the
whole body of warm sweet oil,
well rubbed in. He says: "There
is something curious in its imme
diate good effect. Almost twenty
years ago I had five patients in
one family sick with the anginos'e
or throat variety of scarlet fever,
and had them all brought into one
room for convenience sake and
seclusion. Five little heads re
turned my greeting every time a
visit was made, and all .clamored
loudly for the oil bath. It was
plentifully used, then a woolen
nightgown put on, and nothing
else done. No medicine was giv
en, and but little food was needed
to supplement absorbed oilT And
in recovery-there was an absence
oT usual complications, so that
in my western town oil baths
came to be used with excellent re
sult."
Its superior excellence Droven in millions
oi homes lor more than a quarter of a cent
ury. It is used by the United States Gov
ernment. Endorsed by the heads ot the
Great Universities as the Strongest. Purest,
and most Healthful. Dr. l'nce's Cream
