Killing and capturing some 500 British sol diers a week, with no appreciable loss too themselves, seems to be tlie regular thing with them once more. —Testimony in the license trans fer of Geo. Walker to X. J. Walker at Hillsgrove was heard by the Court on Friday. April -•! was fixed to hear argument when the matter will be disposed of. —Colonel Watterson is calling on the Kentucky Democrats to get to gether. It is the general under standing that the original trouble of the Kentucky Democrats grew out of their habit of'getting too vigor ously together. —The old Hill residence on Muncy street has been torn down and in a few days more the saw and ham mer will be heard on the site build ing Prof. F. W. Meylert's new resi dence. The foundation and a dug well are now in progress. —Fire broke out on the roof by the chimney of a company dwelling at the Tannery, Friday morning,but by timely discovery it was extin guished before doing much damage. The tannery whistle caused a stam pede for that section of the town and in a short time the whole bucket brigade was out in tremendous force, whose appearance sti filed the flames and they surrendered uncon ditionally on first sight of our vicious fighting fire department. —The spring elections show no re sult of the tidal wave on the Porto Rican question of which the Demo crats have been telling the country. In fact, taking it all in all, the re sult is rather the other way. —Fredie Kenndy, age 10 years, died at the home of his uncle John Gallagher, of Muncy Valley' Tues day, April 3,. Funeral services were held at Sacred Heart Church, Laport, on Friday last. —Yes, Admiral Dewey now says he will run for President. Did you ever see a "henpecked" husband that wouldn't run. His canvass will simply be a woman's campaign for the ladyship of the Whitehouse. America does not elect Presidents to adorn the Whitehouse and figure in society, which Mrs. Dewey will later learn. —Thanks to the vote of Republi can legislatures and the signature of a Republican President, every dol lar Mr. Bryan receives from his lec ture tours and every dallar coin Ilarvey securos from the sale of his books will be worth 100 cents. —The Hon. Roger Q. Mills, the erstwhile friend of the "plain peo ple," is now engaged in snuggling up to the octopus. The discovery of oil on Mr. Mills' Texas lands has completely upset that gentleman's political doctrines. —The Republican party is broad enough and wise enough to forgive any of its number for sometimes making mistakes, if they would only vote their honest convictions anil stand by them. But when we see Republicans representing the Dem ocrats in State conventions the party can not help asking what their con victions are. —Even the Democrats cannot find a Haw to pick in the "open door" negotiations. They are perfect. No foundation for future trouble is to be found in them, there are no embar rassing conditions—no conditions at all in fact—and advantages of tre mendous value have been gained. Secretary Hay deserves a high place in history for this one transaction alone. —Albert F. Heess law student of Dushore, has received of Governor Stone a commission to do business in the capacity of a Notary Public. Mr. Heess is highly qualified for an appointment of this kind and it should be of considerable value to him in taking of depositions etc. This county is fortunate in having a Notary Public who has a knowledge of shorthand writing and other de sirable qualifications possessed by Mr. Heess. —The Dewey boom for President is most peculiar in that the Admiral is willing to run on any old ticket, if the Republicans would nominate him, lie would be elected, of course. But so would any other candidate, lie is too late in the day to get the Democratic nomination. But the chances are that he will run as an Independent. As such, he will draw the old Palmer Ar Buckner vote, the Democratic expansion vote, the Republican anti-expansion vote, and an indefinite "enthusiasm" vote, chiefly Republican. He will not win, but he may defeat McKinley and turn the country over to the silver men. —Sheritl' < >sler adjourned the HanJ nan sale to Thursday, May 3, 1900. Grange Not en.
