Miss Hannah MeOarty of William sport, is visiting her parents here. Monroe Speary of Nonlmont, was in town Wednesday. Mr. Frank McDermott of Buffalo, is visiting at the home of his uncle, Mr. Thomas Sheean. ]\lrs. E. M.. Dunham is visiting her niece, Mrs. J. W. Pierson, at Bloomtield, N. J. The Laporte Tannery has closed temporarily on account of scarcity of hides. Mr. John Flynn, superintendent for the Klk Tanniny Co., is suffering from an attack of quinsey. Mr. Scott Weiland has been ap pointed postmaster at Nordmont, liis brother, A. I'. Wieland, the former postmaster having moved to Say re. Prof. J. E. Reese Killgore of T>u shore, has been appointed County Superintendent of Schools of Sulli van county to fill the unexpired term ofSupt. M. 11. Black, who re cently resigned to take charge of a rural free delivery route at Forks ville. There are several cases of measles in the second ward, and among the little sufferers are the children of William Kennedy and five children in the home of Daniel McCarty. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lauerof Idaho, are visiting the former's mother, Mrs. M. ('. Lauer at this place. Mr. l-auer, who is operating an ore mine in the far west has prospects for a very successful career in the mining industry. The stage route between Forks viile and I)i:shore has been suspend ed and Rural Free Delivery substi tuted. This will be a great conven ience to people along the linos, as thcir mail will now be brought t<> their houses. Postmasters Hannon and Scher will have something add ed to their labors, and Postmaster Hannon something to his profits. The western part of the county with its R. F. D. routes, and telephone lines, is right in town. Real estate ought to rise in value, and proba bly will. \Y. B. Ritter, station agent at this place was taken very ill last Thurs day night and does not seem to im prove very rapidly. Being a suff erer with heart trouble, it is thought that his present illness was brought on exertion while perform ing his duties at th ■ station. Mr. ' Sam Hitter of Muncy Valley is fill ing his father's place at the station, j Mrs. Harry Mutchler of Xord- ! inont, was taken very ill while visi- j ting relatives in Danville, last week. I She caught a very severe cold which j developed into a serious case of asth-1 ma and for a time her condition was-1 critical, but at last reports she was i somewhat improved. A sleigh load of jolly women from ' Bern ice and Mildred passed through Laporte, Wednesday of last week, I on their way to Sonestown, where j they tendered Mr. and Mrs. Basley of the Magargle hotel, a very enjoy- j able surprise. The party consisted 1 of Mrs. Frank Meyer, Mrs. Claud < Transue, Mrs, George Forest, Mrs. i Joseph Ilelsman, Mrs. P.L, Merith-1 ew, Mrs.Charles Pflaura, Mrs.Frank j Allen, Mrs. Lee Johnson, Mrs. Wal ter Wheatley, Mrs. Harris Collins. ; Wiilliam T. Mason, a lawyer aud his family, consisting of wife and j two children, Ellen, four years old, i and Marion, six months, with a ser vant, Annie Wells, losl their lives I in a fire which partly destroyed the . brown stone building occupied by , them in New York city. The thirty-ninth annual State En-1 campment of the Grand Army of i the Republic will be held at Read ing, June 7, 8. and 9. The veterans of that city will leave nothing un done to make the soldiers welcome and the gathering a success. The i : encampment was held there twenty- I five years ago. Notwithstanding recent denials of the rumor that the S. & N. Y. rail-; road would extend its line from Grays Run to Newberry Junction, surveyors have commenced work on the proposed extension. The object of the extension is to have the road connect with the New York Cen tral.

The Sunday School of the Evan gelical church atSonestown will hold a supper and festival pn Saturday, January 21, beginning al •) p. m., for benefit of church. There will be chicken and waffle, and a cooked supper; also Ice cream, cake, pie, sandwiches, boxes and confectiona ry; also music and entertainment. The public'isM'ordially invited to at tend. store room recently vacated £by C. A. Starr. Ilenry Gower of Unityville, was taken tojthe Williamsport on Tuesday in a very serious condi tion, after, having his right hand badly lacerated on a rip saw at a shingle mill. £llis condition i-. very critical, as he lost ,a large quantity of blood. xne uniform Democratic view of tbe postelection stir for tariff tinkering i* expressed by the New York Times: "All over the country we have th« curious spectacle of the successful par ty concentrating its attention with great earnestness on the single Ques tion of how far and how fast it can go toward adopting the policy of the op position." This statement would possess more interest If it possessed more truth. Proof of the assertion that the Repub lican party is about to adopt as it* own the Identical policy which carried its opponents down to the worst defeat ever experienced by them is far from being so abundant or .so palpable as the Times would make it appear. Proof of this intention Is not to be found in th« agitation that has been fomented sin<* tbe election by a few ambitious Repub lican politicians and a few restless edi tors of Republican newspapers. The voice of these is not the voice of the people. There Is no evidence whatever that the great producing interests, the business interests, the agricultural in terests, the wage earning interests, ar« clamoring for tariff tinkering. The New York Times and its breth ren of tl;e free trade Democratic press are mistaken in supposing that the Re publican party since the election has pit ked out of the gutter of defeat the torn, soiled mantle of its whilom ad versary and has decided to wear the rotten rag of "tariff reform" as its chosen costume. No. The Republican party has not stolon the Democratic thunder and has uo intention of steal ing it. It is a bad sort of thunder, and the country has just said so. What the country wants to hear for another four years is the pleasing rumble of moving wheels and cogs, the cheerful hum of industry, the pleasant stir and buzz of prosperity. That kind of thunder tho | Republican party already has iu abun < dance; that kind the country likes best. | The Democratic thunder is of the i wrong kind. Nobody will steal it. No j body wants it. NO REVISION WANTED. Maine's Interest I» In Ilavlnff the Turin Let Alone. j "On the whole," said Representative j Llewellyn Powers of the Fourth Maine J congressional district, "I think it will : be better for Maine and Maine inter ests to let the tariff alone. Our statu stands on the borders of Canada and New Brunswick, and without a protec j live tariff all kinds of industrial devet | opmeut would suffer greatly from Ca | ilndian competition. As the law stands i today our Industries are guarded fully ] and amply. Our farmers ar« safe | guarded from Canadian competition by I having moderate duties on nearly cv- I cry article they raise. Our lumber and : pulp and paper interests lire protected, j and in all history Maine has not been I so thoroughly preserved from outside I competition as it is today. And we are I feeling the impulse of this protection I in all parts of the state. | Maine was never so prosperous as it is today. Lust year one farmer iu Aroostook who had been offering to j sell his farm for $35,000 harvested and ! sold worth of potatoes from the Ofty-live acres he had under culti- I vntiou, which sum, after deducting the I cost of growing and harvesting the crop and paying taxes and insurance j and the entire expense of conducting | the farm, left a net profit of more than u. r > per cent on tii« asking price of his holdings. This is not a solitary case. The county is full of slmilnr instances. All Maine, in fact, is teeming with wealth. Our population and our valua tion are gatning by bounds, and so long as the existing tariff rates arc enforced we shall be swimming in riches." Mr. Powers knows Aroostook thor ■j ou-lily and knows what is good for the t people. In return the voters of Aroos ! took are aware of Mr. Powers' senti ments and continue to stand by him with incre.'.siug majorities every time he comes up for election. Hence when ! we view the t.iriff question in any light . | it would seem that no revision at all j will be the best for Maine.—Bangor Kftwa The ladles of he 12 < * iur.•;i o' Litpiirie, wili ui^' 1 m <»\ster MII»P< HI ih«- home <<f Mi J. t' I'< uoingt i at Nordmont, Fridtty evening.
