By special act of the Pennsylvania Legislature enacted many years ago the treasurer of this county is directed to ad- vertise the sale in all the papers in the county, bur allows him only one dollar per tract to perform this.

To pay this bill I am allowed only $281, or one dollar per tract; and as did not feel it incumbent upon me to pay the balance of the $1,963.50 out of my own pocket, I did just exactly as my predecessors in office did und that is, at Pine Hall next Thursday and Friday, | | gave it the widest circulation possible for the money allowed, and for which do not deem myself guilty of wrong-doing. explanation. | Hence this Respectfully, | Joun D.

As a result of being shown how the gallows works, Mrs. Daisy Ulrich Opie Grace, under indictment for shooting her husband, was thrown into a faint in the Atlanta, Ga., jail and is still in a hysterical condition. Mrs. Grace was lonely and asked the jailer to show her over the prison. The well meaning official, trying to cheer her, took her to the galiows room. Here he exhibited the black cap and showed her how the noose is ad- justed. For her benefit the trap was sprung and she was told how with the pulling of the big lever the condemned ! man's body falls six feet into space, bringing up with a jerk, which nine times out of ten breaks his neck. As the jailer sprang the trap Mrs. Grace screamed “Oh, I can't stand it,” and fell in a faint. Physicians were called and revived her, but she is hysterical, claiming the picture of the gallows is fixed in her mind. I ——— Commission Rule For Atlantic City. The commission form of government was adopted by Atlantic City, N.

No party lines were drawn, and the contest throughout was on the merits of the proposition in the estimate of the voters. Some of the members of the organization favored it and others opposed it, as was the case among the city councilmen. The First and Fourth wards gave majorities for the Des Moines system, while the Second and Third wards op- posed it by small majorities. The elec- tion was one of the most peaceful seen in Atlantic City. Child Perishes In Fire.
