An Open Letter Centralia, Pa., May 4th, 1905. Mr. J. C. R utter Jr. Bloomsburg, Pa. Dear Sin Having read your announcement as a candidate for the office of Regis ter and Recorder, in which you call yourself "A Loyal Democrat" I deem it my duty at this time for the information of myself (and no doubt it will be of interest for tbe voters of Columbia County) to be enlightened on the following prop ositions: 1st. Do you know that the Democratic Convention of 1904, unanimously passed a resolution that tha office of Register and Re corder should be considered a two term office. 2nd. What have vou done in connection with the resolution of the last Democratic Convention in which you and V. B. Allen were requested to account for the moneys which passed through your hands as Treasurer and Chairman respect ively, and is it not true that about $4569.00 passed through your hands as such officials ? 3rd. What did vou give in re turn, or what must you give in re turn to Republican Congressman E. W. Samuel of this district for the endorsement he gave to have your son, James Boyd Rutter, which has secured him a College Course at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, at the expense of Uncle Sam? 4th. What did you do to secure the election of Hon. E. W. Samuel? 5th. How much have you made in the office of Register and Re corder as Notary Public which you should have accounted for in the receipts of your office? And is it not true that when the fees for ack nowledgement are greater wheu you perform them in the capacity of Notary Public, you act in said capacity instead of the capacity of Recorder of Deeds? 6th. Now talking about fees kindly tell the voters how much you have made by holding the of fice of Notary Public and Register and Recorder? And how much of same the County was entitled too? 7th. Suppose that your proposi tion tor a third term or longer, would be favorably considered, bow many of the competent men in the Democratic party would get a chance to draw by self and clerk hire $3500.00 (keeping it in the family) per year, if you could be elected to a third, fourth or fifth term, making your term nine, twelve or fifteen years or if you please for a longer term? 8th. In making your canvass through the County how many full paid receipts did you issue aud how many do you expect to issue for a full years subscription to the Democratic Sentinel, receiving no cash value in return? ytb. Don't you think the Demo cratic Party has taken pretty good care of you and your purse-filling the past decade? Kindly give these matters your consideration, the Democratic voters are talking about themand would like to know. Respectfully, Frank W. Miller. Marriage Lioenses- Clerk Terwilliger has recently granted the following licenses to wed: D. S. Milnes, of Espy, and Effie Miller, of Espy. Reese Cole, of Benton, and Ger aldine Coleman, of Benton.

Dull bays for Newspaper Man, In these dull days in local affairs a country editor cannot but help wishing that he had a field to work in like Chicago affo.ds. Here in the country a newspaper man faces a pretty hard proposition. He is expected to fill his columns week in and week out with crisp news items whether the people of the community make any effort to stir up such things or not. How differ ent in the big cities, say Chicago. There is something "doing" all the time. A reporter would be required to expend little effort in filling his news columns there where report says they have a death every fifteen minutes, a birth every eight min utes, a murder every seventy hours, a suicide every eighteen hours, a serious accident every four minutes, a fatal accident every five hours, a case of cssault and battery every twenty-six minutes, a burglary every three hours, a hold-up every six hours, an arrest every seven minutes, a fire.every hour, an arrest for drunkenness every seven min utes, a marriage every twenty min utes, a new building completed every hour, a railroad train arrives every fifty-six seconds, and nearly two thousand letters are delivered by tbe post office every minute, day and night. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany has bought up all the water rights along its main line, irom Harrisburg to Pittsburg, and an nounces its intention of laying a pipe line parallel to its tracks the entire two hundred and fifty miles and that it will sell to towns and cities along the line what water they require. This move was made necessary by the drought of two years ago, when they experienced great difficulty in getting water for their locomotives. Storage reservoirs will now conserve the supply, and the company hopes to sell enough water to make tbe scheme profitable, and get their own water for nothing. I1 Get PA.
