A grand old ccleoration is anticipated. Hon. Russel Earns of LaPorte, took a trip down to Columbia coun ty, to look after the interest of his farm, Monday. The richest people ol'teu want the most for nothing. This strikes a certain class that visits the 'Mere, and don't you forget it.

Earns mail contractor be tween this place and Forks ville, drives a brand new two seated skeleton wagon. It is a good looker and a desirable vehicle for the business. Wiien a fellow's best girl points out to him the place where ice cream is sold he alludes to a recent account of three deaths and a hundred per* sons made sicK by eating food of an icy nature. Atty. J. G. Scouten of Dushore, passed through town enroute for Wiiliamsport, Wednesday morning' before half of our people were down stairs. We bid the gentleman good morning. LaPorte is to have a celebration on the 4th after all. Committees arc actively at work making the necessary arrangements and success will no doubt crown their efforts. Picnic and dancing will be the order of the day. The Gazette claims that they do more job work than either of the other county printing offices. This may be facts so far as the Review is concerned, but we will wager our Sunday boots that the REPUBLICAN receives on an average, *5.00 more for job work each week than does he Gazette.

The potato bug has not shown up in very large numbers thus far to the great joy of all, and unless some other unknown insect conies to light with an appetite for this vegetable, we can expect a good crop.

A SALARY —With expenses paid will come handy to anyone who is now out of employment, especially where no previous experience is re quired to get the position. If you want a position, see advertisement on editorial page headed, "A Chance to Make Money." Many of our people are of the opiniou that the railroad now under construction from Lopaz to Thorne dalc, will not end at the latter place, but will be continued to connect with the W. &N. B. at Nordmont. It certainly don't look reasonable that these two companies will loave a space of 6 or 8 miles of unbroken forest between theui from which millions of feet of lumber would be cut and shipped. Hon. William Mclvinley was on Wednesday of last week nominated for Governor of Ohio by the Re publican convention in session at Columbus. There was no opposi tion and he was nominated with a hurrah. lie is one of the big men of the country, made doubly so by being the author of the McKinley tariff bill, and if the people of Ohio know what they are about they will give him such a majority as the old Buckeye State never heard of be fore. Detective Max Freeman of Phila delphia while attempting to arrest a person supposed to he Gideon Marsh president of the defunct Key stone Bank, at Como, N. J., was struck on the head bj a bar of iron inflicting serious injuries, on Friday night last. Como is a resort and the building at which the arrest was attempted, was vacant and owned by 11. 11. Yard. Many are of the opinion however, that the building was headquarters for tramps and that it was a tramp who struck Freeman and not .Marsh. Fourth of July, one week from this Saturday. Telephone connection from LaPorte to Wiilinmsport, was cut oil short on Monday evening. A stroke of electricity at this place made short work of it, however, the wire was putin repair on Tuesday and Wednesday and the machine is working all right now. Prof. J. E. Bond gave a very in teresting performance on the slack rope and trapeze at LaPorte Satur day evening. The performance was witnessed by a large crowd of peo ple who were well pleased with the entertainment and considered it much more interesting than the average similar performance in a circus. A collection was taken up and all donated liberally. In the evening he entertaine'd the boj's by doing slighfy hand performance He is quite fly at this, also. During a thunder shower on Mon da}' 'evening lightning struck the residence of T. J. Keeler on Main St., doing considerable damage. The bolt came down the parlor and kitchen chimneys splintering a good part of the floor in the latter place to k.ndling and tearing the paper from the wall in the parlor. It also came down the eave spout 011 the south west corner of the house trenching its way into the well. Mr. Keeler was passing from tLe house to the store at the time of the bolt and had just stepped oil' of the well platform and was decending the store steps leading from the house, a distance of about four feet from where the bolt entered the well. Miss ltidcr the servant, had just gone from the kitchen to the dining room. It certainly was a very close call for both of these people. The others of the family wore in the store. The coper and ground telephone wire which was attached ta Mr. Iveeler's house leading to Judge Ingham's oilice was burned entirely up nothing being visible of the same except where it was melted and spluttered against the hall window pane. The bolt entered Ingham's oilice where the phone is located and set lire to the building and but for the presence of Air. Ingham the building would have gono up in smoke. Children's Day at J-aF'orte. Children's day was most appropri ately observed in the M. E. church at LuPorte on Sunday last. Music was furnished by a, very large choir of young ladies accompanied by the organ. The recitations by the older a s well as the younger ones, were never equalled on a like day at LaPorte. The church near the pulpit was handsomely decorated and the wreath over the word "Religion" under which the Queen was seated was beautiful. In fact the entire evening's entertainment was a suc cess and much praise is due to those who took such an active part in teaching the school their parts, as we all know such tasks are very tiresome to even the patient school "marin." A large audience listened to the exercises. FOLLOWING IS TUE I'IIOGRAM : Singing by the choir, "Hale the glad season;" Prayer by Ilev. J. F.

It makes telegraph, tele phone and other electric companies responsible for the damage done to shade trees by cutting them down or disllguring them to make way for their wires. "There has been great complaint for many years because the linemen employed by these companies caused much ruthless damage to ornamental trees, in many cases seeming togo out of their way for the purpose of inflicting injury maliciously. Owners of property may be trusted to enforce this law to its full extent. Grangers Speak. From tho Blooinsburg Sentinel.

WUKitEAS, Grant Herring, Senator from this district, before his election, iu reply to the question of equaliza tion of taxation, answered, "I am and have always been in favor of the support of measures lor the equaliza tion of taxation." In as much as Senator Herring did not fulfill his pledges and proved himself a servant of the corporations. Resolved, that we emphatically condemn uis course on the Tax Bill and consider him unworthy of the otlice lie holds. Resolved , That a copy of these resolutions be otl'ered to the County papers and Fanners Friend and Grange Advocate for publication. WM. MENSCII, Master. Attest: H. M. GROTZ, Secretary. This is not a very grand send oir for Grant Ilerriug who would like to bo the Democrat choice for State Treasuror this fall. A Snake and a Cup. It is a common thing for a snake to follow the cup but a mighty un common thing for a cup to attach itself to and follow a snake. Such a story comes to us from Hancock, and the editor of the Herald vouches for its truth. He says there was brought to that village Saturday by M. B. Kelsey a rattlesnake killed by Joseph Drake at Tyler's Switch on Dry Mountain. The snake had six rattles and measured about three feet. As rattlesnakes are mighty common things in this section, this dead snake would amount to but little but for what he was carryiug around with him—no less a thing than a half-pint tin cup. His snakeship carried the cup as a camel does bis pack, the cup being right side up and ready for receiving the dews of heaven or his just portion of a much needed rain. The snake had pulled his body through the handle of the cup half the length of his body, where the fit became too tight, and the cup stuck there. He couldn't back out of it because the scales held him fast. The cup had evidently been fast to him some time, as lie was lean down to the enp, whereas below his "belt" he was very large. The cup showed signs of long exposure and hard wear. Whether this was the original tin plate liar and was caught by n Republican crawling olf to commit suicide, or whether he was taking "the giant product" of an American tin plate factory to Major McKinley as a souvenir—deponent deposeth not. But certain it is that he was carrying a half-pint tin cup with him.— lloncsduic I ml.
