County Sues Poor District
J. A. Hev, Ivlisha Ringrose and
Charles II. Pohe, commissioners of
Columbia county, have brought suit
against the poor directors of Cen-tralia-Conyngham
poor district to
recover $1005.50, money due for
the support ol the indigent insane
of that district, who tire incarcerat
ed in the hospital for the insane at
Danville.
Columbia county has paid this
bill, and has now brought suit
against the negligent district, in or
der to protect itself from losing the
interest on that amount, which
would be $60.33 annually.
At the present time there are in
carcerated in the hospital 16 indi
gent insane people, who were resi
dents of that district and the cost of
their keeping is $1.75 per week.
This must be paid by the district,
but the law makes the county lia
ble for the amount.
When the district failed to pay
it, the State sought to collect from
the county. The commissioners
had, therefore, nothing else to do
hut pay. and, as a result, the suit
was brought. A judgment will no
doubt be secured, and in that man
ner Columbia county will he paid
for the use of its money by the poor
district.
Since the above was written the
suit has been discontinued, the dis
trict having made satisfactory ar
rangements. A Genuine Comedian.

as he possesses a singing voice of
much clarity and sweetness, some
thing very few in his special line of
stage work enjoy.
He is as clever as the best and
performs it with much more ease
than any other performer m his hue,
He responds to his encores aud ex
hausts his responses to the audience
Wherever Mr. Tyrrell appears he
wins a loyal clientele.

Open Season for Pheasants.
Sportsmen over the state are very
much exercised over the law passed
which, according to the press re
ports, makes the open season ror
pheasants from November 15th to
December 1st just fifteen days.
This, however, is a mistake. The
season opens on October 15th in
stead of November 15th, and lasts
for iortv-hve davs.

ABOUT CHARTERS.
The Act of April 29, 1874, P. L.
73, after enumerating the powers
granted to corporations; divides
them into classes, the first class
corporations not for profit: second
class corporations for profit.
It is intended to deal here only
with the first class corporations
not for profit.
In this class there are enumerated
13 purposes for which charters
may be asked for and granted, and
of the second class 25. And the
act is very careful to give very full
enumerations of the businesses and
methods of incorporation. It is
only intended to speak hereof some
details of practice in the applica
tion for and in the granting of
charters
1st. The charter should be care
fully prepared by counsel.
2nd. The application must be
advertised in two newspapers in the
proper county for three weeks,
twenty-one days in full.
3rd. It must be on file in the
office of the Prothonotary during
this time.
4th. In Columbia County, un
der Rule XV of the "Rules of
Court" a Master is to be appointed,
who shall carefully inquire and re
port to the Court concerning the
lawlulness ofths corporation, and
whether it is likely to be injurious
to the community.
Under these rules it would seem
that any persons opposed to the
granting of the charter may appear
before the master, with counsel and
witnesses, and the counsel for the
charter in like manner, with wit
nesses, and examine and cross ex
amine. And the master might
call before him such persons as he
believed could inform him as to the
matters cf inquiry submitted to
him.
The evidence is taku under oath
and committed to writing by the
master together with his report as
to the inquiries submitted to him
under the rule. The evidence and
his report are filed with the appli
cation and original charter in the
office of the Prothonotary, and are
by counsel submitted to the Court,
with his motion for a Decree.
The final approval of the charter
i, by the Act, committed to the
legal discretion ot the Judge; and
if he approve he shall endorse his
approval thereon, and upon the re
cording thereof in the Recorder's
office of said county, the subscrib
ers and associates shall be a corpora
tiou by the name therein giveu.
This Master
Waste Paper.
The Phila. Record says:
"Director Clay has taken steps to
put a stop to the practice of litter
lug the streets with waste paper
and rubbish. The nuisance has
grown to disgraceful proportions
and it is well that the ordinances
covering the subject are to be en
forced. Now if the Director will
turn his attention to the enforce
ment of the law against the circu
lar nuisance which, by the way,
has a great deal to do with the un
sightly appearance of the streets
he will confer another boon on the
long-suffering public. The dodges
which were at first practiced to
evade the ordinance prohibiting the
distribution of circulars from door
to door have of late been abandon
ed, and reams of advertising litera
ture are daily thrown on porches
and stuffed under doors, to the
great annoyance of householders,
Why is the Anti-Circular law a
dead letter?"
We again call the attention of
our Town Council to the waste
paper nuisance. It is a most de
testable practice and must be abat
ed. Do they care about the clean
liness of the town? Is this year to
be as the past years have been?
Dogs, waste paper and dirty alleys?

Stories by Normal Students.
William's First Evening of Vacation.
For the last two weeks Win. Din
glebender looked an though he were
not well. But on Friday he looked
belter, as vacation was drawing
near On Friday morning, the sun
shone dimly through the clouds,
and moved so slowly that it seemed
as if it would never reach the ze
nith. Towards the close of the last
period Wm. be:atue restless, for
he thought the bells did not ring
and he would surely miss the train.
But the boil rang on time and he
was off like a shot. He arrived at
home soon after dark. He ate little
supper, for hU appetite was taken
by his anxiety to see his friend
Carol Dunkelberger. Soon after
supper he started down the road.
As he walked the familiar path
through the woods, he no longer
remembered Caesar with its pleas
ant stories; geometry with its theo
rems, axioms, and corollaries; nor
the stu.y hall compulsory attend
ance rules; for his soul was as light
aud happy as a blue bird's in cany
spring. His eyes were fixed in
tently ahead to get the first glimpse
of the light that hud greeted him
many time.1 in the distance through
the darkness. As he passed the last
tree in the woods, his stepn were
quickened; a warm flush ran over
his face; his heart, like F.vangel
ine's, when she was near Gabriel,
beat faster, for he was coming near
er and nearer to her who was wait
ing to greet him and welcome him
back. He rounded the curve, and
in the distance he saw Carol's light
near the window, winch seemed to
beckon him to move faster. And
there at the window he seemed to
see Carol sitti.g with tears trickling
down her cheeks thinking that he
had forsaken her, for it was already
7:30 and he was not there. He fi
nally reached the door; his knuck
les tapped liihtly on the outside;
theu he heard the familial footsteps
of Carol. As she ueared the door
and her hand slowly turned the
knob, he heard within the beating
of a heart that seemed to keep time
with his own. As he stood on the
threshold, the door swung on its
hinges; he beheld the blushing face
and the welcoming eves of her
whom he had longed for many
weeks to see.
He was welcomed back and given
an easy chair near the warm fire
Lone before the hour when the
hands of the clock were at right
ansrles. he wished that Mr. and
Mrs. Dunkelberger would retire.
About 9:15 ,Wm. and Carol were
left alone and in a short time the
chairs they occupied were quite
near each other. As they sat near
the warm fire, his arm stole quietly
around her waist, which made her
blush. While she was still blush
ing, he geutly pressed his lips
against hers. He then no longer
remembered his oratorcial phrases
but expressed his thoughts in these
simple words, "I love you still.'
The hours seemed to them like
minutes and long before they wish
ed the time came for them to part
As Wm. was about to leave he
said. "It will be hard for me to
leave vou. but 1 am to go to the
Philippines and shall go tomorrow
She at once burst into tears, and as
they like torrents rolled down over
her face, said to bim, "Will you
come back for me soon ?" William
replied. "I will." Both with tears
in their eyes said good-bye.
William left with a heavy heart
and reached home in time to hear
the rooster say, "Good morning,
Willie."

A GREAT OFFER
For You Only
Read this announcement. It is your opportunity.
If you don't read it you will miss your chance. The
greatest magazines in this country have combined to be
offered together at a greatly reduced rate. Never before
was such an offer given to the public, and it is safe to
say never will be made again. This year several maga
zines have increased their subscription price, which
shows how much greater this offer really is. The only
reason we are making it to the people of this vicinity is
because the magazine finds they have not as many sub
scribers as they desire in this particular locality. But
only a limited number will be sold at this price, there
fore we advise every one to accept this offer without
delay. When we have received a certain number we
shall withdraw the offer.
