W. i iallagher has had an iron fire escape attached to the rear of the La porte hotel, leading from the top floor to the ground. Mrs. Ivato Butcher who was con victed, ;it last term of court, of fil ing liquor without license was last week sentenced to six months in county jail and to pay a tine of *.">oo. Announcement is made of the coming marriage of Mr. Arthur Miner of llerniee, to Miss Yerna Foust of Nordmont, at the home of the bride's parents on January 27. Fire was discovered in the resi- i dence of W. A" Kennedy Monday j night at a little past eleven o'clock. The ilume had broke through the ( roof near thechimnen when first dis covered Timely assistance ex ten- < guished the tire before much damage was done. I layman 11 err, the popular clothier of .Muticy Valley, registered at the 1 Laporte Hotel Tuesday night. Mr. Ilerr recently purchased the interest Jacoli I'er held in his business and is < now sole owner of the large store in 1 Muncy Valley. The nine-ye:ir-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. lit I ward Worthington of glirewsbury township, died Jat the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Fulnier, at Kagles Mere, Jan. 11, of pneumonia. The funeral ser vices were held on Wednesday, Kev- S. I>. I'idlack officiating. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Keeler were calh '1 t>> Benton Saturday by the 1 illness of 1 heir daughter Miss Win ifred, who was visiting her sister Mrs. S. It. Karns. Mr. Keeler re turned mi Monday and reported his daughter much better. Mrs. Keeler will remain until Miss Winifred is able to return s\ itli her. Ii is rumored that on account of; the great niinntily of snow in tin ; woods, said to l>e upwards of four] feet in depth, the people of Sone>-i town are getting uneasy about tin- j splash dam on the outlet of the lake j at F.agles Mere. It is said to he ur.-i safe, tin-west end of it having already j partly given away. Disastrous con- j sequences i- feared if soft weather j sets in I official reports from the Kastern j Penitentiary WHS reported to this, county last week, stating that from j the results of freezing, three toes on one foot of Barney Sliwoski were amputated. Also that Lewis Wal lace had two toes and one foot ampu-1 tilted as the result of ths same | cause. These men are the two who j escaped from the county Jail Christ-! mas night and wandered about thej vicinity of Nordmont in trying to j reach Bernlce. A new schedule on the W. & X. B. j railroad went into effect Monday, and j the change is hailed with approval! all along tlie line. Passenger service j on this road is now considered the I best had in several years. There- j vised time-table elsewhere in this' issue shows the morning southbound j train two hours earlier, which gives passengers an opportunity to reach ! Williamsport in the forenoon. The j evening southbound also brings j passengers home an hour earlier' to n-t from their journey. The Sullivan Herald last week ventured to offer an explanation! why the News Item, with its largest j circulation of any paper in the. eoun-j ty, was ignored by the Sheriff in his ! advertising patronage. The Herald , states that "if the story be true" we j offered the Sheriff a "rake off" for a share of the advertising required from his oftice. This mode of mod ern commercialism is so original in ! this section that we believe the alleg-, ed story refered to altove, to have j hatched in the germ-breeding attic! of the Herald editor's upper story. If not, we must take the privilege to state here, very frankly, that we consider it a devilish awkward way of giving us "the tip" on how to solve the mystery. Convinced as we are, that this is not the case, N\ei hold the Herald as author of thej story. Disclaiming it, however,] we would like to have the Herald state just how much of a "rake off" is required to monopolize the adver tising iu question, as the Herald jnow does. A little competition ! started iu the matter ot "rake offs" might make some offices much more ! lucrative to the incumbents way of ;thinking. I TymcnesjviWk LMH RIFLE AND PISTOL MmUM | CARTRIDGES.

A decree of Pope l'iti* X has reached this country directing lliat women vocnllsts l«e excluded from participation in the service* of the Catholic churches. The order it is said becomes operative in every Roman Catholic church in the Unit ed States. The pope's orders not on ly revolutionizes vocal music in the churches hut directs that pianos be forbidden in the sacred edifices, us well a« bands, drums, cymbals and the like. "Since modern music,' the decree* says in part, 'has risen, main ly to ~erve profane uses, greater care must be taken with regard to it in order that the musical compositions of modern style which are admitted to the churches may contain nothing profane and be free from motifs : adopted in the theatres." Whilethe pontiff has not excluded solos, they must be sung by boys. The decree has not yet been received by the in dividual churches. The generosity of Andrew Cur-1 negie has reached our little comity, j and the Eagles Mere Presbyterian ■ church, the object of his beneficence, ; will have a handsome church organ, j of which one-half the cost will he paid by Mr. Carnegie, who already has sent his check for the amount to 8. 1). Andrus, the music dealer ol . Willianisport, who will place the organ in the church. We would like to inform the charitably inclined Mr. Carnegie that Laporte is'only six miles dis tant from Eagles Mere, and has sev-' end needy churches that would up- ■ predate a gift of less that one-half! the cost of a grand organ, should he i chose to deviate from his chosen hobby of giving organs ami libraries.
