There is a possibility that tbe
bawdy houses have been closed per
manently, because of the airing
they got in court on Monday, and
there is also a possibility that the
inmates will return and resume
business as soon as court adjourns
and Judge Staples has gone heme.
The existence of these houses has
been a notorious fact for some
time, and the open manner in which
they have been conducted ought to
have made it very easy to procure
sufficient evidence to sustain an
indictment. 1
Trestline Carried Away
A rise of twelve feet in the Sus
quehanna on Sunday night resulted
in washing away 150 feet of the
trestling at the Berwick bridge,
from the shore to the second pier.
A steel rail track was laid on the
trestling and there was also a der
rick, both of which went into the
stream. This may put a stop to
the work for the winter.

Judge Staples lias ordered all bars
in Duiville to close from midnight

the ' bridge is the Susquehanna

"Over Niagara Fulls," a new
scenic production from the pen of
Joseph Le Brandt, author of "On
the Stroke of Twelve" and other
successful plays, will be the attrac

Thursday, Dec. 7th.
Some of the picturesque charact
ers in the play are, an old Indian
Chief "Starlight," one of the In
dians of the Seneca tribe and his
daughter "Bess". They show a
side of the American nborigiuee
that is seldom produced on the
stage. Their unique dressing
which is- historically correct, adds
largely to the b.autiful effect of the
various scenes.

JDDQE STApbES ON OIOAEUTTEJ
On Monday morning in his
charge to the grand jury, Judge
Staples again relerred to the cigar
ette law, as he did at September
court. He addressed the jury in
the following words:
Wc also call the attention of this
grand jury to what we tried to im
press upon tin; last grand jury, and
we think it 110 harm that this court
should present this matter at every
term. That is the law as to the
sale of tobacco, cigarettes and cig
arette papers to minors. The law
prohibits such sale. We reiterate,
we called the attention of the last
giand jury to this fact; but since
coming here this time I have seen
boys in Blootnsburg smoking cig
arettes 011 the street. The law pro
vides that no person shall furnish
by sale, gilt or otherwise cigarettes
or cigirette papers to a boy under
the age of twenty-one years. That
law was meant for a good purpose.
There is no sensible; man who will
deny the proposition that the smok
ing of cigarettes is injurious. I
have boys of my own, and I would
rather give my boy a glass of beer
than put a cigarette into his mouth;
for the boy that smokes cigarettes
will soon have the sfong drink to
go with it. I think both of them
are evils but the strong drink is the
lesser evil of the two; the testimony
of physicians is to that effect.
Also it is against the law to fur
nish by sale, gift or otherwise to
bacco to boys under the age of six
teen. It is for the entire commun
ity and for you as representatives
of the county, to do all in your
power to see that these laws are
rigidly enforced, that they tre
strictly observed. They never will
be observed unless the people be
come interested in their observance.
Legislative enactments do not en
force themselves; courts alone can
not enforce them. If we desire to
better the community, to have pub
lic peac?, good order, prosperity,
advancement in the direction of the
good morals of society, we must
begin with the youth of the land
and especially with the boys. As
a Court, we begin with you, gentle
men of the grand jury, and ask
you as representatives of the county
to impress it upon the citizens of
the community from which you
respectively come that it is their
duty as well as yours to see to the
enforcement of these laws.
