PA. MONDAY DVE'G, APRIL, 11, 1S98. IF IT BE WAR Jf dt be war, and very likely it will be, it should be war to the knife, and war, sole object of which will be the driving from this hemisphere of the hated and bloody Spaniard. One by one the colonies possessed by Spain in this section of the world have been wrested from her untii only the few islands soutih of us remain, and her brutality towards the eople of those islands has been such as to compel this country to go1 to the rescue. If it be war, we should never let up until the atrocious acts referred to eloquently by Senator Proctor are tnade impossible and the people so cruelly oppressed are free aad independent.

If it be war, the people of this country I stand solidly, back of WClliam and give the money, the men, and tfhe war material sufficient to prosecute it vigorously and successfully. If it be war, we have no fears of the ultimate result. There can 'be nothing but victory for this country. S.pain, bankrupt in purse, with a population that is steadily decreasdnig, with mo army to speak of, with no friends among nations save Austria to which it it? bound by blood ties, will have very little show against a nation that has millions of doilars to burn as powder, millions of men to carry rifles, a constantly increasing population, wonderful resources and friends everywhere among nations, and a just cause. It may be true that Spain has a better navy than the United States possesses, but that is a matter that need concern us very little.

In a very short time we shall be as we and betterequipped thtan Spain, and it will be only a question of time whet Spain must haul doWm her colors. If it be war, then let it be fierce and furious and without delay. The people of this country have been very patient Tinder the most trying circumstances, and they will be satisfied with nothing less than the elimination of Spanish rule in this part of the world. It takes the United States a long time to make up its mind to fihit, but once in it there is bull dog tenacity in the way it holds on to an enemy. Good evening, in case of war how's your rheumatism? Spain dallied too long.

All talk of concessions at this late day means that she does not intend to make any concessions, but is talking to gain time "sparring for wind," as they say in sporting circles. The chances are that if Spain was given another respite she would again sin away her day of grace and do nothing. The United States is slow to anger, but she is aroused now, and it is too late to make another plea for delay. There is going to be trouble. It has been discovered that the monitor Miantonomah, at present at League Island, from which great things were ex pected in the fighting line, is practically useless by reason of a defect in her turret machinery.

The machinists who were paid high salaries to overhaul her should be given what is termed "the grand bounce." We can't have any incom petency in the naval repair works at this time. It is not only costly, but exceeding ly serious. General Woodford, our minister to Spain, soys he will remain until the last chance of serving this Government at Madrid has disappeared and his passports are given him. He is an old soldier and does not run while under fire. It is quite probable, too, that Lee would not have left Havana if he had not received orders to that effect.

Funny to read that New York is getting ready to send her National Guard to the field. Down here in Pennsylvania the National Guard has never been anything else than ready from the time there was first talk of war. Other States may "getting ready," but not this State. She is ready and sleeping with one eye open. We will all be Jingoes before this week is over, for the reason that William Mc Kinley will then be a Jingo.

But, it must be noticed that William McKinley will not be forced into obeying a Jingo. He took his time, and when all other means failed he joined the army again, and he is as full of fight as any of them. The Ninth regiment of United States eavalry will be given the honor of first being sent to Cuba. And the Ninth regiment is composed of colored soldiers. It is an organization thirty years old, and it has never done anything but fight.

Governor Pingree recommends to the Michigan Legislature that it vote a war fund of $500,000. Say what they will of Pingree, that he is a demagogue and all that, he is a patriot. There are a great many cases of Dutch courage floating around telling how they will wipe Spaiu off the earth in twenty four hours. They are too swift. It may take a week.

Frank skarbuck, the great racer has returned to Lewisburg. where he will remain until the weather gets more favorable for outdoor training, lie has arranged for several match races, one with Kaiser, champion un paced rider of Europe, and one with Taylore, of France. The first will be a five mile pursuit race at Ambrose Park, Brooklyn, on May 21st, and the second a twenty mile paced race at Willow Grove track on May 28th. This week the National League's season of '98 will open. From the present outlook it will not be either numerically or scientifically, a magnificently successful opening.

The weather throughout the country has generally been severe for this, time of year, and preliminary practice has been knocked galley west. Then the great probability of war has knocked the interest. If lie latter element continues, or worse still, reaches a sanguinary climax, the schedule for '98 might as well be put away for another year.

The Successful Remedy for NASAL CATARRH Must be non irritating, easy of application, and one that will by its own action reach the inflamed and diseased surfaces.

ELY'S CREAM BALM combines the important requisites of quick action and specific curative powers with perfect safety to the patient. This agreeable remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact. Ail druggists cheerfully acknowledge that in it the acme of pharmaceutical skill has been reached. The most distressing symptoms quickly yield to it. In acute cases the balm imparts almost instant relief.

By Absorption. Catarrhal sufferers should remember that Ely's Cream Balm is the only catarrh remedy which is quickly and thoroughly absorbed by the diseased membrane. It does not dry up the secretions, but changes them to a limpid and odorless condition, and finally to a natural and healthy character. The Baku can be found at any drug store, or by sending 50 cents to Ely Brothers, 56 Warren street, New York, it will be mailed. Full directions with each package.

Cream Balm opens and cleanses the Tvnanl nnssnc pa. ailavs inflammation. thereby stopping pain in the head, heals and protects tne memnrane ana restores the sense of taste and smell. The balm is applied directly into the nostrils. Birthday of Hope.

Miss Marv Poffenberjrer as "Joy," with, twelve young misses as attendants, and six little girls from the primary department, all dressed in white, made a most beautiful n.ndl innwessive tableau. Miss iMIary Fickes, as "Grief," entered upon the scene clad bid mourning, but this attire under the kindly influence and teaching of the hopeful and joyous group was soon changed to spotless white and 'her name changed to Itesignation. Tiie cnurcn was crowded, and all were pieased with the rendering of the programme and the music by the Sunday echooi choir, and very deeply impressed with the lesson taught.

Mesamh'a Ctrrat'Kutt r. It was a iovous Easter Sunday at Mes siah Luthenan Church. The church was crowded at all services and the communion was nuite large. Pastor De Yoe was assisted by Rev. Dr.

Some 21 new were received and the day's offering amounted to $2,505.20. Of this the F.rst department of the Sunday School contributed the Second de partment $181. and the ThSrd department xnis almost cuts tne cnurcn debt in half and Pastor DeYoe announced last evening that in a year and a half at most the debt would be entirely wiped out.

In view of the fact that no special effort was made, yesterday's offering was quite gratifying. The newly elected church officers will be installed Wednes day evening.

Aprio 11. The horror on the Dyea trail is growing in magnitude hourly. As the work of rescue proceeds it becomes more apparent that many more lives were lost than at first thought possible. It is now believed that between fifty and one hundred men and women were killed by the avalanche. Many bodies will never be recovered, until the sun melts the tons of snow and ice that now bury them from sight.

Two or three thousand men are working in relays of as many as can stand side by side shoveling away the debris in search of the dead and dying. Twenty two liodies have been recovered and identified and 25 have been taken out alive. Seventeen employes of the Chilkoot Railway and Tram Company who went up to the summit on the morning of the slide to work, are missing and it is feared that they are among the lost. It is estimated that 10,000 tons of outfit are buried under the snow and ice. There were several smaller slides before the death dealing avalanche was started.

About 2 A. M. a small slide occurred which buried several cabins. The alarm was spread and many people were endeavoring to work back to Sheep camp when the biggest occurred. The snow storm was blinding and crowds were coming down by the aid of a rope when overtaken The exact location of the slide is given at two and a half miles above Sheep camp and one hundred yards above the Oregon Improvement Company's powei house.

Here an immense gorge rises at a very steep incline into the hills and it was down this the avalanche came. The telephone office here has been thronged all day and night with people anxious to get some word of friends believed to have been iu the disaster. Many people have gone from this city and Dyea to Sheep camp to aid in the work of rescue. It is believed that when the full returns are iu the dead will number nearer one hundred than fifty. A FARE EXPLODED.

So Action Taken lw the Caaa of William V. Ilarrlty. Washington, April 11. Senator Jones chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has submitted the correspondence and other papers bearing upon the effort to secure the removal of Hon. W.

F. Harrity, of Pennsylvania, from the position of member of the Democratic National Committee from that State, to the other members with a view to securing their votes upon the question. The movement is the result of the action of the Democratic convention of the State of Pennsylvania and of the executive committee of the Democratic Committee of that State, in which Mr. Har rity's removal was urged on the ground that he is not in harmony with the Democratic party of the United States, and James M. Guffey was recommended as his successor.

The information regarding this action was forwarded to Senator Jones by State Chairman Garman, and Mr. Jones was requested to take the matter up. The latter forwarded Mr. Gar man's letter to Mr. Harrity and received from him a reply in which he asserts that the charges upon which his removal is sought are unfounded and defends his record as a Democrat.

Mr. Harrity's letter was then submitted to Mr. Garman, who made no reply. These are the principal papers constituting the record of the case, which has been sent through the mails in printed form to the various members of the National Committee within the past day or two. The members are expected to send their votes by mail to the chairman and the case will not be decided until all the votes are received.

Hence final action probably will be postponed for several weeks. BUROEKEI WHtEClCK'l OA MB. Hr Made a Practice of Extorting; Moist) from laandlord. Lancaster, April 11. It ha beeo learned by the authorities here that Ralph W.

Wire back, who murdered Bank President David B.

Testimony will lie offered at Wireback's trial that he threatened several days ago to kill Mr. Landis if the latter tried to turn him out of the house he occupied. Wireback has retained C.

Thirty years of buoccss entitle Dr. It. V.

Pierce to the absolute confidence of everyone who needs liielp. The operations of his medicines are as logical operations of nature because they are natural. Plant a seed, and you know that in so many days (according to the seasoni aind climatic conditionis), the seed wil; swell, a green slhoot will push through the soil, leaf and stem will cotiie in their order, and by and by the perfect plant. Dr. Pierce's remedies are "seeds of health." In a certain time (according to the consititutionaJ conditions under wlbach they are administered), the medicine begins to manifest itself, the gretti; shoot of health, springs up in the unkindly soil of disease, and the green shoot grows and spreads until a condition of perfect health is attained.

What Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription does for motfliers and their children is well exemplified in the experience of Mrs. II. M. llansrote.

of Magnolia, Morgan county, W. Va. In a recent letter to Dr. Pierce she writes: "I commenced to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription something over two years ago.

"Af ter my little boy was born, in 1894, I was very weak and sick and could not keep anything on my stomach; I thought 1 would never be well again. My husband got me a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and before I had taken the third dose I was better, and when the medicine was all used I was well; could eat anything I wanted, and do all my housework. The past winter when I was suffering with female weakness and the many ailments due to pregnancy, I procured a bottle of 'Favorite Prescription' and was instantly relieved, and I know it saved me lots of suffering, as I was only in labor a short time and got along well, I have taken one bottle since baby was born (three weeks ago) and am doing all the housework for a family of six, besides caring for baby. I never lose an opportunity to recommeud your mediciue and there have been a number benefited by it who took it at my request.

I have also received much benefit from Dr. Pierce's Pellets." In a letter to Dr. Pierce. Mr. E.

B. Schwartz, of 14 Lake Avenue, Rochester, N. says: "I wish to express my sin cerest thanks to you as being the origin ator of so great a medicine as 'Favorite My wife used it previous to confinement, and to day we have a strong, healthy child, weighing ten pounds.
