Mr. Ernest Lauer of this place has accepted a position as book keeper for a firm in Towanda. Editor Streby says that the men on the Democratic ticket are much superior to those on the Republi can ticket. He is right in some particulars. Rogers is superior to any one existing as a "bill dodger" in the Legislature. As space per mits we will name them for you. At a meeting of the citizens of La porte lit trough to make arrangements for the entertainment of the meeting of the "»sth Regiment to be held at Laporte, Pa. on Monday, Sept. 29th 15)02, met at the office of A.

Secretary is ordered to write to Mr. Joseph Hestetl, New Albany, saying that we have made arrange ment to entertain all survivors of the 58th Regiment. All comrads are in vited to join in the exercises. Peter Witkoskie, convicted of murder in second degree,was brought before the court on Saturday for sen tence. lie was asketl if he had any thing to say why sentence should not be passed upon him, and replied in a voice little above a whisper that he bail friends in Wilkesharre. The Judge then said, you have been on trial for the highest crime known to the law and under the ev idence are fortunate in escaping as you did.. The testimony shows you were entirely reckless at the time of the shooting, if nothing more. Un fortunately there is entirely too much of this in the county, espec ially among your class of people. It has become too common a thing for men to tlraw a revolver, a knife or weapon of some kind, upon the least provocation, or without any provo cation \yhatever, and if there is any thing this court can tlt> to prevent this, or to make crimes of this sort odious, we feel it is our duty to do so; and not only as a punishment to i you, but as a means to deter others from committing similar crimes. We propose to give you what you may deem a very severe sentence, but which seems to us a very reason able one. Cntler the recent law granting commutation for good be ! havior your time will be very much I lessened if your conduct warrants it. | The sentence of the court is that you I undergo imprisonment by separate I and solitary confinement at labor in J the penetentiary for the Eastern dis trict of Pennsylvania, at I'hlladel- I pliia, for the term of IT) years.

We are in receipt of a copy of the "Minutes of Meeting of Kagles Mere Improvement League" but on ac count of lack of space could not ap pear in this issue. A full account of the interesting proceedings of this progressive body of men will be giv en in next week's paper. Sheriff.l. <i. Cott, assisted by hisj brother, Ira Cott, of Duslimv, start ed on Wednesday morning i'or Phil adelphia with the two prisoners, Peter Wotko.skie who was sentenced for murder to fifteen years in the Eastern penitentiary, and John Si mon for larceny to three years in the same institution, Miss Fannie Meylert started on Monday morning for California, where she expects to remain about a year. While her many friends re gret her departure from this place, they all join in hoping that the Western climate may prove bene ficial to her health. Constable A. A. Maker says that he expects to see the laws regulating hunting enforced as well as the lish ing laws, and that any person limit ing on Sunday or killing game out of season will receive his prompt at tention. This is right. I..uvs once made should be enforced and then if the people do not like them have them changed. An advance of ten per cent has been given to all employes of the S. L. A- S. It.it. Co. both outside and in the mines, the same to take effect Oct. Ist 1902. Empty houses are at a premium here just now.

Jackson, deceased, was settled on Tuesday morning by a verdict in favor of the plantiff for the land described in the writ. This land has taken on great value since the coal strike has so ma terially advanced the price of coal. It was for Hern ice W. Jackson that the town of Bernice was named. The ease was heard by Judge Hart of Willianisport, and the array of coun cil was a formidable one. Seth T. McCormick and Addison Candor of Willianisport; it. A. Mercer of To wanda, ami A.

JJCNNINUS. J Forestry as it Effects Ea;(lcs Merc Es. pccially and Svllivan County Generally. The Lake at this plaeo is beyond question its principal drawing card. No one believes for a moment tliat its popularity would continue if tlu> Lake would spring a leak in the bot tom anil so the water disappear. That this contingency might happen in the course of a few hundred years is discussed with considerable equan imity nor has the dismission per ceptabiy reduced the price of build ing lots nor delayed the march of improvement. The other proposition that Eagles Mere would lose a very large share of it.- aMraclivcne&s if it was sur 1-ouinlcd with cultivated lields or hurnt over barrens is a proposition much nearer possibility to the pres ent generation in the latter contin gency. When thick clouds of black fttioke rolled up in the west and were carried by the winds over the village, pretty clearly indicating the path of the lire if it gained serious headway, the more thoughtful of our people looked grave and began to figure on how the fight could be maintained if the contest with the fire fiend should come on. Twenty four to forty-eight hours would be quite sufficient to end the story so that it would never be heard again except as we now .talk of i'elee, Sou friere and Martinique. We wonder at the people of the doomed island not taking thought enough to anticipate the horror even when it was at their doors. Are we any more prudent than they? Our prevailing winds are from the west and the tinder box is there all ready for some reckless or wicked human being to touch it off. This is not the only section of the country in which these conditions exist, and are to continue for some years, and it has no thought or consideration either from business men, county officials or any one else. We are all simply taking the chances. Mean while all the Forestry science and investments of the state are going to other localities. Neither of the po litical parties gives it thought enough to put it into their platforms as a plank that any Legislator or Senator either state or national, that gets the vote of Sullivan county shall pledge himself to see that we shall receive the active consideration of that De partment. A grand Forest Reserve is to be created and a State School of Forestry instituted in the counties close along the southern boundary of the state where no streams head that either water or destroy any part of Pennsylvania, while our region that sends every drop of its water into the great water highway of the state, the Susquehanna River, receives no consideration whatever. Has any voter in the county ever heard of any man elected to the State Legislature or to either house of Congress ever doing anything for Sullivan County? With the wealth of the county being carried away year after year, with a constantly increasing county debt, we are ne glecting the riches that the Creator offers us in the rugged mountains that have once been stripped of the glorious garments that it has taken centuries to produce and that would give us a never ceasing title of busi ness and income in the thousands of seekers after health and pleasure that would come to us if we will only do our share towards perpetu ating and protecting this source of wealth. Perhaps it sounds a little foolish to so designate the thousands of acres of wilderness that have been left behind by the Tannery and the Sawmill but nature is kind and seems to hurry to heal up the wounds that civilization has made. Why not make it imperative that no officer either National, State or County shall get our votes that will not, both in pledge and action, urge on and sustain continued effort in measures that shall turn all the flashings and wild lands into Forest ry Reserve, and so secure to us about the only business that can be had from them after the bark peeler and log jobber have gotten in their work, secure never failing employment to our own people as Forest Wardens and woodsmen and bring us annual revenues of hundreds of thousands of dollars from not only summer vis itors but others who would be with us at all seasons of the year if we would hit do our part in making our mountain home attractive to them?
