The opening gun of the Republican campaign in Bedford county was fired Tuesday evening--and it is the consensus of opinion that the discharge did no damage to the enemy's efirthworks.

la fact, it looks as if the "grand old'' musket kicked the man who pulled the trigger with more disastrous effect than its oontents had upon the target at which it was aimed. The big posters announcing the mass meeting and two brass bands drew enough people to the court house to put standing room at a premium for awhile, but before the enrtain was rung down there were accommodations for all on the benches. The unusually large number of people who were here to attend court helped to swell the crowd. About a dozen women graced the gathering with their presence. Boss Reynolds rapped the meeting Comment on the Happenings of the Past Few Days.

"I am tired ofliving. her I love. She is with me now. I will return again." This is the message left by William B. Hughes, a molder, before committing suicide at Wiikinsburg on Thursday of last week.

Controlled by a fancy born of spiritu- to order and chose Hon. Jacob H. Longenecker as presiding officer, He then rapidly read a long list of vice- presidents, but whether or not they were present and willing to serve and who some of them were are matters for conj-cture, for those mentioned were not invited to come forward and Eeynolds' rapid-fire reading made it impossible for the audience to catch all of the names. Judge Longenecker lost no time in introducing the speakers. The orator of the evening, Hon.

Hampton L. Carson, of Philadelphia, erstwhile an eminent and energetic reformer and anti-Quayite, made the first address. He is a graceful, fluent speaker, but foolishly wasted his energy and eloquence in paying a panegyric to Pennypacker, whose career he traced from the time he was a tiny toddler until he pulled on the famous boot that the North American haa so cruelly but cleverly caricatured. According to Carson, Pennypacker is such a very, very good man that even the prince of political poltroons, Matthew Stanley Quay, could not swerve him the fraction of an inch from the path of rectitude he has always trod. We believe Carson could have made a really effective speech if he had not been so heavily handicapped by orders from headquarters He was to steer clear of the questions at issue.

The ripper and other rotten legislation which marked the last legislature was to be norefererce was to be made to the multifarious villainies of the state administration; nothing was to be said of the infamous trolley franchises which gave the leaders of the Bepublican machine an opportunity to fill their pockets with ill-gotten gold; the brigandage and bribery of the heartless political pirate that plucked Pennypacker from the bench in order to Rive his ticket a semblance of respectability were not to be mentioned. And Carson obeyed orders. The. next speaker, Congressman Alvin Evans, of Cambria county, who would like to succeed himself, grasped the "grand old" flail and frantically threshed the straw on the Bepublican barn 3Xr. He tackled the trusts, the tariff and imperialism with all the I go to meet vigor he possessed, but whe'n-the job was finished there was nothing to show that he had been at work but a pjle of chaff.

Evans was a great disappointment. As a statesman and orator he seems to be in the primary glass. Attend at least one of the meetings which will be held in the county today and hear the issues of the campaign discussed in an able and impartial manner by our standard-bearers, Pattison, Gnthrie and Nolan. David B. Henderson, Eepublican, speaker of the house of representatives, has declined renomination in the Third Iowa district because he found that many of hia constituents were in favor of reducing the tariff as a means of fighting the trusts, a policy to which he is opposed.

Daniel's. Horn hasn't a sincere Democratic adviser in the county of Bedford who does not tell him to keep his word and withdraw from the ticket. His violation of his pledges to withdraw has released every Democrat in the county from voting for him. The only ones urging him to remain a candidate are machine Republicans who never intended to vote for him. When the Union Republicans met in Philadelphia in convention a gang of roughs with police protection were organized under orders of the Republican state and city organizations to break up their convention and to give Pennypacker the endorsement of the gang.

Mr. Carson, from Philadelphia, seems to think the voters of this county never heard of this outrage. Mr. Carson came all the way from Philadelphia to persuade the voters of this county that Mr. Pennypscker would not be controlled by his wicked cousin, Mr.

Quay. As Mr. Quay nominated Pennypacker and, if elected, he will owe his election to Mr. Quay's gangs of repeaters and thugs of Philadelphia, it doesn't seem quite safe to adopt Mr. Carson's teachings.

The speakers at the Eepublican meeting this week never once mentioned the stealing and jobbery of the last legislature, the voting away of millions of the people's money and property in which the Republican state ring are to share. They want the people to forget ths open corruption of their party leaders and to give them a new lease of power and more opportunity to steal and enrich themselves. Aa an investment the meeting at the court house Monday night last did not pay the Republicans. There was not a Democrat in the county fooled by it. The persons present were generally Republicans drummed up by the house officials and Eepublican eandidates.

The Democrats treated this meeting as a joke. The Bepnolicans went away disgusted. anybody was hurt it was the Bepub- lican managers of the meeting. TRAGEDY AT CUMBERLAND. Two Men Killed by Drinking: Carbolic Acid Whloh They Thought Was Whisky.

As a result of drinking carbolic acid, which they mistook for whisky, Conductor William G. Little, of the B. and Cumberland, and John Steckman, of Hyndman, lost their lives. The tragedy occurred at Cumberland early Sunday morning. The two men had been together late Saturday night and it seems that just before they parted to go to their homes they took a drink.

In searching the clothing of Steckman a half pint whisky bottle, labelled "Carbolic Acid" and containing what is known as the "red aeid," employed chiefly as a disinfectant, was brought to light. The resemblance to whisky being very marked, it was readily seen how easily the one might be mistaken for the other. An inquest was held Monday afternoon and the jury found that the deceased came to their death from carbolic acid poisoning, the liquid being taken in a manner unknown to the jurors. Mr. Little was aged thirty-two years He was a native of Harper's Ferry, Va.

Mr. Steckman was twenty-seven years of age and was employed in the brick yard at Hyndman. He was a son of John Stockman. He is survived by his parents, three brothers and two sisters. The body was taken to Hyndman and interred at that place.

Last of the Pledge-Breakers.

The following editorial, which ap peared in Welnesday's Philadelphia i American, is proof positive that ihe Democracy of Pennsylvania is sin cere in its efforts to purge the party of Quayism. ''In the turning down of A. D. Boyd who sought renomination for state senator from the Fayette-Greene dis trict, the Democracy of Pennsylvania completes the work of purging itself of Qnayism. Coal-land Grabber Boyd is the last of the gang of Democratic traitors who disgraced their party and covered themselves with infamy at Harrisburg laat winter.

He is one at the few who had the insensate effrontery to ask the betrayed people of their districts for endorsement and He put his shameless head within reach of the club and got it whacked with admirable promptness and satisfactory vigor. PILFERED PARAGRAPHS. M. Meyers was appointed inspect- John H. Jordan, of Bedford, made the last address.

He rolled up his sleeves and pitched into hia old enemy, the Democratic party, with characteristic fury. His blows fell thick and fast, but, as usual, they lacked steam and were not the least bit effective. He went at the Onion Republicans, hammer and tongs, but his abuse was not kindly received by the audience. One sentence from his whirlwind oration gives a glue to its character, namely, "I say to you that no man who has filled any state office has ever proven false to his duties or to his Further comment is unnecessary. It is the universal verdict that the people who attended Tuesday evening's meeting were disappointed.

They expected to hear the issues at stake in this campaign discussed by able speak- rs, but they heard nothing of the kind. Thirtieth Anniversary. Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. John Blymyer celebrated the 30th anni- ersary of their marriage at their home Bichard street.

John B. Drenning. John B. Drenning, a well known citizen of Cumberland Valley township, died Saturday afternoon. He was a son of Samuel Drenning and was born in Bedford township on October 21, 1832.

After working on his father's farm for several years he learned carpentering and was engaged in that occupation until 1885, when he again took up farming and fruit growing. He was one of the pioneer apple growers of the county. Mr. Drenning was well posted in horticulture and his advice was often sought by his neighbors. In 1881 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Wertz, daughter of Paul Wertz, of Cumberland Valley.

Mrs. Drenning died on December 10, 1893. The subject of this sketch is survived by five sons--Jasper of Bedford township; Capt. Henry A. and Frank, of Wilkinsburg; Charles of Swissvale, and Hanson, at home.

The following brothers and sisters also survive him: James Drenning and Mrs. Mary Deremer, of Cumberland Valley township! Samuel Drenning, of Fostoria, Henry Drenning, 'of Wilkinsburg! Jacob Drenniug, of Bedford township; Mrs. John Brown, of Tunnelton, and Mrs. George Donahoe, of Belden. The funeral services were held in St.

Thomas' Catholic church, Bedford, Monday morning and were conducted by Rev. Father Oashman. Interment was made in the new Catholic cemetery. Mr. Drenning was a stanch Democrat.

For ten years he served as a school director of Cumberland Valley township. He was an industrious man, an obliging neighbor and a. good citizen. William Foster Dead. William Foster died at his home near Six Mile Run, September 3, 1902, aged eighty-four years.

Mr. Foster, better known as "Uncle Billy Foster," was a natural born geologist, having prospected for and opened up coal in Bedford, Huntingdon, Clearfield, Cambria, Jefferson and Blair counties and The ninth annual convention of the Bedford County Christian Endeavor Union met in the Mt. Zion Lutheran church at Ray's Hill Wednesday evening, September 10. Nineteen delegates enrolled, representing nine societies. I think all present will vote it a very successful convention, as that does not depend on numbers, but on the spirit pervading the meetings.

All the meetings were well attended and were full of interest. After the opening song service, M. N. Staily, in well chosen, happy language, welcomed the delegates to Ray's Hill. The president, Eev.

A. C. Lathrop, of Everett, gave a hearty response in behalf of the delegates. The principal address of the evening was delivered by Eev. A.

Fulcher, of Everett, on the subject, "Unused Power." "There is a great deal of unused power in the church; we actually possess it, but do not recognize it or know how to use it properly. Endeavorers should know what God's Holy Spirit is--what is His will. If we would allow ourselves to be led by God's Spirit we would find that the Christian Endeavor work would be more easily accomplished. The matter of success in our work is not a matter of chance; it is simply carrying out the divine law." These are but a few of the good thoughts given. The keynote of the Thursday morning session was prayer.

Many excellent thoughts were given on the topic, "The C. E. Prayermeeting: Its Scope; Its Preparation, Its Results." J. F. Morris, Rev.

F. Johnston, Rev. M. L. Furst and others took part in the discussions.

"Prayer blesses not only those for whom we pray--it returns again to bless us. Prayer should be more emphasized in the prayermeeting. Our prayers control the Divine Power which rules the world. We work the best when we pray the most. The results of prayer depend on us--on our faith." The keynote of the afternoon session was worU.

"Junior Work" was discussed by Miss Mary Reeve and others. The importance of laying a sure foundation for the future church by training the children waa dwelt upon. "General Society Work 1, Temperance; 2, Missions; 3, Good was the next topic. The subject of temperance lies so near the hearts of Christian people that I wish all could have heard the eloquent talks given on this subject by J. H.

Van Horn, Rev. C. H. Campbell and others. The importance of training the young aright was emphasized.

"Train the boys to hate the saloon with all the hatred of which they are capable, for it is the embodiment of evil. Keep the boy away from the saloon and then take the saloon away from the boy. Everyone is affected directly or indirectly by strong drink." Feople Who Move Hither Thither In Tills JBvwy World. 'Squire J. B.
