Ex-Senator Ingalls, of Kansas in a recent communication to the St. Louis Republic says: "The issues of 1900 are not yet formulated, nor are the candidates designated. The Chicago platform is archaic. Its honry top is gray with antiquity. The free and unlimited coinage of silver is a Joe Miller. Free trade and tariff reform are embalmed. The war questions, sectionalism, the negro, have been canned. McKinley, the most adroit politician of the century, appears to be sure of renominstion, but he is on the rim of a crater and an eruption may take place before Congress meets again. The Republicans have but thirteen majority in the next House, and among these are some inanr- Knts. Party line* are coffused. Party • set lightly.

Several ladies sat in one of the Colonial club parlors, a few evenings ago, discussing the virtues of their husbands. "Mr. liingleton," said one of them, referring to her life partner, "never drinks, never swears, nor does he chew." "Does he ever smoke?" someone asked. "Yes; he always likes a cigar just after he has eaten a good meal. Rut I suppose that on an average he doesn't smoke more than once a month." Some of her friends laughed, but she didn't seem to understand why. ."3 Matting. ftfamlatee. Dame Fftsliion Unveils Her Millinery Ribbons-Downing Prices. SKIRTS.

EBERHART, OUR MOTTO:—Samo Price Samo Day to Everyone. JOHNSON BLOCK, Hair Grafting' The Falls Crook San is authority for the statement that a barber of that place ha* made a useful discovery. It lari: "Jamaa Cochran, the barber, rolled op hi» ahirt sleeves the other day with the remark that "it la fonny why other people's hairi grow on my arms." The remark elicited considerable opposition for a while nntil with the aid of a pair of tweezers the discovery was made that his observation is based on facts. Here and there over the forearm short hairs of an entirely different shade than that provided for him by nature had taken root and were flourishing. Othora had barely began to "vegetate," while the very latest transplanting coald be extracted withoat showing the sign of a root, as it wore, and withoat pain. The theory ovolvcd is that short stubs of "healthy" hair from the clippers get into the clothing,pass through it end foremost into the tlesh, tho same as the quill of the porcupine operates, and after a certain length of time take root, become engrafted, so to speak. Here is a "cue" for the bald-headed individual." New Shoes, New Shirts, New Hats, New Neckwear New Furnishing Goods. New Suits, We have a large stock of these. The finest of all Easter plants, at low prices. Ksst End Greenhouses. Do not keep an article that does not suit you. Your money back if in any way dissatisfied. While Brookville did not haveaSt. Patricks day oelebration or parade, another event, the reception of Mr. and lira. H. G. Verstino, and Mrs. Sue L. E. Horn, Mrs. Verstine's sister, at Mr. Verstine's residence on South Pickering stroot, will not soon be forgotten by those who participated in the festivities and enjoyed the hospitality of the occasion. Tho elogant and commodious house was decorated and illuminated in a manner to reflect groat credit on the tasto displayed by Mrs. Vorstlne and Mrs. Home, her sister, these ladies being tho mastor minds in superintending tho ornamentation of the already beautiful rooms. The parlors and halls were tastefully decorated in green and white, and the ball room in the national colors and green and white. The gaeats began to arrive shortly after eight o'clock and were received by Mr. and Mn. Yerstine. Mrs. Home and Mr. Albert Baur. After the formalitiea of the reception had been gone through with, the guests played progressive euchre until refreshment* were announced. The ball room floor had been covered with craah, and Mating room furnished for nearly 200 persons who did ample justice to the elegant and bonntlfal repast. The Inner man having been fully satisfied, the ball room wa* cleared, and the Ideal orchestra of Brookville, which had been stationed In tha lower hall wa* transferred to the ball loom where they diioonned iweet music to the strains of whioh nimble feet kept time nntil admonished of the dawning of another day' when the happy assemblage loth fully departed, all uniting in beat wlshsa for the gentle man and ladies whoae hospitality had been the sou roe of so much enjoyment. J. M. Chostnutt, proprietor of tho new Commercial Hotel, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for the office of Sheriff of Jofforson county, returned a few days ago from a short visit to tho southern tier of Jeffeeson county townships. Ifr. Chestnutt fools much encouraged by assurances he has rereceived, and thinks his chances at the primaries in Jane will prove a trump card for him. He is well known) throughout the county, having been a candidate three years ago, but was defeated for the nomination by Sheriff E. C. Barns, after which he took off his coat and worked with might and main for the sacceasfal candidate. Oar town has been much excited over a problem in arithmetic which has kept a large namber of citisens figuring and in a state of opposition against each other, the sides being aboat evenly divided, bat arguments on the subject are heated and always end by neither side giving in. The proposition is: A man sells a hone for fifty dollars; the next day he bay* him beck for forty doUan, and again sells him for forty-five dollars. It is evident that the man has made fifteen dollars in the different transactions, bnt can show only fifty dollars on hand at the termination of the last deal. The question was referred to the Pittsburg papers to decide. Their verdict is that the original seller has made fifteen dollars from beginning to end. The sides persist in remaining unconvinced, and the fight still goes merrily on. The open moetlng on last Saturday evening of E. R. Brady Post No. 212 Q. A. R., was well attended, th<> hall being woll tilled. Anontertaiuing program of vocal and instrumental music, recitations and "war talks'' by a number of comrades was well recoivod and gavo goneral satisfaction These open meetings, inaugurated several weeks ago, seem to bo appreciated by the public and will be continued until warm weather sets in. The starting of Messrs. Cook and Graham's saw mill on Monday morning was a boon to many bauds who have been idle for sevoral months. Tho starting of this mill and tho new woolen mill, together with the anticipation of an oarly opening of work on tho now railroad givos much encouragment to those who havo been predicting hard times for the coming summor.
