In many localities, he said one can hardly travel because of the ruts and holes and stones in the road and the danger ous places that are left unguarded. That people complain to the super visors and other responsible parties only to have their complaints ignored. These remarks were called out by the request of Attorneys C. C. Evans and Gustav Hahn for a suspension of sen tence in the case against Nescopeck township. The supervisors were call ed and testified that since the verdict they had repaired the road and that its bad condition previously was due to the fact that they could not secure men to work. Judge Lynch remark ed that they seemed to have no trou ble after the verdict. In passing sen tence ine court saia trie law imposes the duty upon supervisors and town ship commissioners of keeping the highways in good repair at all seasons ot the year. 1 hat this was the second time the township had been convicted on the same road and that the court believed the verdict was entirely pro 'per. He then sentenced the town ship to abate the nuisance within thirty days and to pay $30 fine and costs. Siir)1m $123,001) deposit your savings in Frank Ikcl'r, (ieo S. Uoliliins, I.ouis Ciiii-s J. H.

On October i, 1875 the present proprietor of The Co lumbian purchased a half interest in this paper and alter two changes in partnership he became sole owner ten years ago. For twenty-eight years we have tried to furnish the public with a clean, reliable news paper, and feci that our efforts have not been entirely unsuccessful. In 1875 there were four newspaper otliocs in the county. Now there arc nine, besides three or four job printing offices. This speaks well for the business row th of the county, for the pop ulation has not grown at all in pro portion to the increase in the num ber of printing offices. The increase in population has been less than twenty per cent, while the printing offices have increased two hundred per cent. Twenty eight years ago The Columbian office was as well equipped as any office in the county. Today it isihe best. Then we had one job press; now we have five, with all the modern devices for stapling, punching, uumbering, cut ling round corners, and other machines that are required in an up to date printery. The following persons have been connected with The Columbian, either as sole owners or partners, for the time specified, since 1S66: Geo. II. Moore, - 35 weeks J. G. Freeze, about 1 year C. B. Brockway, - S years H. L. Dieffenbach, - 3 years J. K. Bittenbender, - 13 years Geo. E. Elwell, 28 years Our term of service is exceeded only by J. C. Brown of the Republi can, who put ou the harness two months earlier. It has . not been twenty-eight years ou a bed of roses. There have been great trials, and at times great discouragement, but we are still here and expect to spend the balance of our days in the editorial tread-mill. A very important decision in re gard to liquor selling has just beeu made by Judge Lyon of the supreme court of New ork state. Mrs. Eliza Westbrook of Ithaca sued Joseph Miller and seven other liquor dealers of that city for $1,000 dam ages each for injuring the health and morals of her son by selling him liquor after she had forbidden thvtu to do so. The liquor dealers made a motion to have the case dis missed, but the judge refused, and orders the casi to a jury trial. This decides that the case is tryable and in such a case a person has just cause for civil action. It is the first time such a question has come up in the courts of that state and it provides parents with the most pow erful weapon ever put in their hards to fight the saloon. Judge Bechtel of Schuylkil county on Monday ruled that illiteracy is no bar to a citizen serving as jury man.

The excitement was oc casioned by the arrest of one Joel Heinbach, of Danville, charged with having offered an insult to a little eight year girl of town. Ac cording to the charge he had pro mised to pay for a ride on the merry-go round, if she would ac company him tj a nearby orchard. It was iu truth a big fuss over nothing. Heinbach, when arraign ed before Squire Jacoby, denied the accusation, and explained his flight by saying that the proprietor of the merry-go round had called a police man, and he was trying to avoid arrest. He admitted that he had paid for a ride on the merry-go round for the little girl, but not until she had asked him for a ticket, she evideutly thinking that he was one of the proprietors, and that he didn't see her after that. The affair created great commotion, and some overexcited person went so far as to fire a shot after the fellow, when he was trying to evade arrest. The case being one which is covered by an ordinance, Squire Jacoby could not give him a hearing. He was locked up for the night and given a hearing before Mayor Townsend this morning. lie was fined $10, on two charges, one for being drunk and disorderly and the other for using profane language. The charge against him, relating to the girl was not substantiated. Two farmer lads, presumably- from Greenwood township, although we didn't ask them their residence place, strolled into the Columbian office on Friday, to see the equip ment They are tired of rural life and desirous of obtaining positions in town. They didn't ask us our advice, or we should have told them to return to the farm. On tne larms ot tne united states are the most hopeful generation of boys of which the world has knowledge. They are the very seed corn of the nation. From tbem will be recruited not only the successors of their fathers as managers of the farmers and breeders of the stock of this great nation, but future C'ptains ol industry, mighty mer chants and talents for the halls of legislation, the boards of trade and all the duties of statesmanship. The fathers of these boys will make a great mistake, to teach them that they must leave the farm in order to succeed.

Tarbell has recently returned from a two months' rest abroad to take up the work on the second part of her " History of the Standard Oil Company," which will begin to appear serially in the Decem ber number of Mc dun's Magazine. In Paris where Miss Tarbell has spent the greater part of her time, and where she is well known, she found that everyone seemed to know about her Standard Oil History and to be reading it, and everyone wanted to have her talk about it, which was flattering, but somewhat inconvenient, as Miss Tarbell had gone abroad for the express purpose of forgetting all about Mr. Rockefeller and his trust for a couple of morths.

There is an upward tendency in wheat and just where it may end is no telling. Expert students of government crop conditions and of domestic and foreign demands de clare that ninety-cent wheat will be a certainty within a few weeks and that the dollar mark may be reached. With a falling off of one hundred million bushels in the winter wheat crop and half that amount in the I spring crops there presents a situation full of promise for a higher level of prices. Already the price of Septem ber wheat is well established above eighty cents, whereas three months ago it was quoted at seventy cents. Europe has a short wheat crop this season and will call on this country for 200,000,000 bushels. American exports of wheat are said to have averaged more than 200,000,000 bushels for the last five years. CARLISLE INDIANS BUCKNELL F00T- ball.
