Until to day Mr*. Randal), wbo baa been untiring in her attendance npon him, has hoped against hope tbat be would rally from biasinking condition and take a new lease of life, but even she has now abandoned all expectation, and haa prepared herself for what appears to be bis inevitable and speedy death. For two days th) ex- Speaker baa recognized very few of tbe members of bis family, and to day lie knew no one except Sister B ai ic>, of Providence Hospital, who has been bis nurse in nitny sicknesses. All day he lias been very low and in a constantly einkinc condition. At midiijbt t< -light he is not conscious of h i surroundings and recognizes no one. Hia entire family aro at his bedside waiting for the end. It is possible that tbe fine constitution of the ex Speaker may enable him to tight death successfully for a few days, but both his family and his physicians admit tbat tbe end may come at any moment.

THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CLAYTON North and C. O. Wilson was formed January 1, 1890, and in order to relieve the minds of some people who are always busy attending to other peoples' business, we think it best to advertise the new firm. Our SPRING STOCK is coming in daily, and trade is keeping up wonderfully, notwithstanding the monopoly the Sheriff has been trying to have over the business in Punxsutawney. Our trade could not be better. We fife positively THE LEADING ONE PRICE CLOTHIERS of Jefferson county, and what is more, there neisrer was a ONE PRICE STORE in this town until we came, and now to see some of our competitors advertise, you would think they had been born One Price Clothiers. There are always people who would claim all the glory, no matter at whose expense. We are still the original One Price Clothers. We have first place and intend to keep it. Our Spring Stock comprises everything new and novel. We have just received a brand new line of PANTS, some of the nobbiest styles you ever saw. In mens suits we have everything. The only way you can form an idea ot our stock is to call and examine it for yourselves.

April 7.—For two weeks a bright little girl, aged abont 12, has wandered abont the streets here. To day she was taken to Pittsburg and was placed in charge of the Children's Aid Society. The strangest thing about the girl is that she knows nothing whatever of where she came from or how she got here. She says her name is Mary Gardener and she has no parents. 830,000 In Sight Drafts.

The insurance firm of Jno. F. and O. E. Brown, of Clarion anil Brookville, had a largo portion of the insurance in Punxsutawney at the time of our great fire of 1886 and it is not flattery to say that their adjustments were prompt and sntistactory. Every loss was settled and paid by sight drafts, over $30,000 being paid by their companies within 60 days after the fire. That fire did not dis courage them and they have written most of the new buildings and stocks. Their busi ness has increised so much that they have opened an office in Punxsutawney, in tront room of second story of John Zeitler block, and placed Walter S. Brown, one of the brothers, in charge.

HUGHES, BOEON DENTIST, The saloon keepers say that they will keep their saloons closed until the present fury is over. Mr.Thompson, for the brewing company, left for t . Louis this evening. Tho fever is spreading, and tho women of FredericVtown are now holding meetings and making arrangements lo wipe out tho saloons in that vicinity. Farmidgton, Mo., April i.—The petticoat oruBidors, led by Mrs. \Villiam9, Mrs. Foster, Mrs. James and others, continued their raid to day. It was decided to sack the saloons at 10 o'clock, but information of tho contemplated raid reached tho saloon keepers and they all promptly closed their places and barred tho doors. When the scouts of tho crusaders brought back news of the closing of the saloons the women appeared disappointed, but as they had large spots of red blood in their eyes they would not be put off in this fashion. Another consignment of beor was due at Delassus and they drove over to the station to take chargo of it. Axes and hammers formed the armament, and at 2 o'clock Delassus was reached. A wagon load of beer consigned to the saloons at Doe Run was found standing on the sidetraok and was promptly attacked. In a short time the bungs begau to lly and the neighborhood was deluged in beer. A big crowd of men and women witnessed the destruction. Tho beer was the property of tho Klausmau Growing C0111- paty, of St.Louis. —A man named Oscar Harden, of Piko county, Ga., some time ago killed his bride nf a few months by a pistol shot lie lias made a oonfettsion lliat ho shot at her three times because "lie didn't think liacculil h't her."

Holland is lecoming exceedingly fidgety about lior militia affairs, says a,' letter In the New York Tribune. Thei national defenses lire in a disorganized' condition, and tho Dutch would bo unable to offer much resistanco to any in-| vasion. Reform ia fho cry on ovory< hand, and universal oonseriptioni is advocated on r.ll sides; but no one seoms to feel disposed to carry, the matter through. A t things now are' no Dutchman neod servo in tho regular army if he can pay for a substitute. The conseqnonce is that tbo rich aro op-j posed to tho universal conscription, flfecauso they do not want to servo, and the poor are against it berauso they wouldi no longer receive tho largo sums which their children earn by serving1 as substitutes. Every man, howovor, botwjen the ago of twenty-flvo and forty ia forced to belong to tho militia, or schuttery, a* it is designated in Holland. Tho latter numbers about two per cent, of the ontiro population. But it is quito harmless, and partakes to a certain extent of tho nature of the opera comiquo. 1 Nothing can bo moro amusing than t# watch tho schuttcfs on their way to drill lato in tho afternoon of summer and autumn days. They can scarcely b»| desoribed as prcsorfing a martial appcarance in thoii i«» J red uniforms* •with their shakoes po- . >* rakishly on one sido of their head, iho chin strap barely reaching do- ~n to tlio nose, a cigar or pi/o *'i the ...outh, and an antediluvian-lookiii& old musl»ot carried over tbo shoulder, V.i'.t end upward. j In winter when if • Ins or snows the) monthly drill at . icrdam, Amsten-I tho schutters dovoto far moro attorn dam and other important citios, usually takes pi aw under cover in tho hours® after tho business of tho day is ovorJ Tho drill sergeants, however, dislUw this; for it doubles their work, si) to tho figures of tho afternoon si quotations, still chalked upon tho' board, than to tho figures of drill. Tho officers of tho militia regiments are exceedingly gorgeous creatures, with their long, clanking sabers, thoir plnmcd hats and thoir profusion o* gold laco. Their knowlodgo of things mtlt-i tary is but ono degroo superior to that of tho men under thoir command, for ■they havo been forced to drill for " -o hours a week during a period of sir, "weeks with a regular lino regi-| ment. Under ordinary circumstances! they manago to fulfill their duty) after a fashion, but during the) annual maneuvers they aro sub-| jected to groat trials. A scliutter Captain will bo standing iu front of hisj company, when a corporal acting asorderly approaches with the following] message: "Tho enemy la closo at hand.' Tho Colonel sends you his very best' compliment's and wishes to know if you would oblige him by loading your men to attack." All at once tho latent patriotism and military ardor of tho Cap-1 tain blazo forth. Ho draws his sw >*d. pnd, calling on his soldiers to follow him, rushes to meet tho imaginary orv. cmy. Suddenly his advanco is checked! by a shallow ditch filled with muddy, water. Tim causes hits fierceness u» abate, for ho would not for all tho world; soil his uniform. Ho pauses for a few seconds.
