Tho Progressive Shoo Storo Loft Hospital, Went to Jail. Some weeks ago Northumberland county was startled by the news that Nick Gedro, of Marion Heights, with five bullets in his body, was dying at the Ashland hospital, the victim of Andrea Yunado, an agent of the Black Hand. It stems that Gedro was adverse to passing away while his assailant was still on green earth, and liable to no greater punishment than that imposed by the average lenient Northumberland county jury. And so Gedro recuperated as quickly as nature would permit, intending to buckle on his stiletto and revolver and goon Yunado' s trail as soon as he left the hospital. But the hand of the law stayed his intentions of blood thirsty revenge. As he step ped from the hospital Saturday morning he was arrested by Ser geant Yan Yoris, of the State con stabulary, located at Shamokin, and Deputy Sheriff Condy Lang don, of Centralia, on the charge of stabbing William Murtou, of Cen tralia, on March 7th, and an aggra vated assault on L'has. hetterman, of Centralia, which took place on the 41I1 of August. After stabbing Murtou, Gedro left Centralia and nothing was heard of him until the accounts of the shooting affray were seen in the papers. Gedro now lies 111 the Columbia county prison at Blooms burg. . - LIBRARY FOR HAZLET0N. John Markle, the Jeddo coal operator, has offered to present a building for a free public library at Hazleton, and the offer has been accepted. Mr. Markle's proposal is accom panied ty a drawing ot the pro posed building, which is to be known as the "Markle Memorial Library," in memory of Geo. B. Markle, father of John and Alvan Markle, and one of the pioneer coal open tors in the anthracite held. The drawings show a beautiful romanesque marble structure to cost $40,000. Mr. Markle will put up the building complete and also furnish it. All the association will need to do will be to supply the books. The only stipulation in the gift is that the association shall apply its entire income from whatever source arising, and also the pro ceeds of the library tax, to the maintenance of the library as a free and non-sectanan public library forever. Deeds Recorded. The following deeds have recent ly been recorded by Recorder Mil ler: Wm. J. Daley et al. to Sarah Daley for lot No. 3 in block 119, Centralia. Barton Shaffer and wife to Chas. L.

The Republican leaders are great ly perturbed over the passage of the Soldiers' Pension bill. It passed the Senate with only one opposing vote in the expectation that it would be deleated in the House of Representatives and it passed the House by the same overwhelming majority in the hope that the Gov ernor will veto it. According to report fiom Hariisburg, luwever, this expectation will lie disappoint ed. The Governor will sign the measure, gossip alleges, regardless of results. That action will necessi tate some deep cutting into the ap propriations for local charities, but the Legislators rather than the Governor will suffer on that ac count. The pension bill will involve an expenditure of five or six millions of dollars annually. It isn't a pro digious sum when the resources of this great State are considered. But it raises the volume of expenditures considerably above the total of the revenue and will inevitably lead to treasury deficits and bankruptcy. Of course the calamity may be post poned for a period by cutting the hospital and other charity appro priations. But these institutions are of great service as well as of in finite advantage to the communi ties in which they ate located, and crippling them will work hardslr'ps on many deserving people. The benefit to the veterans ol the war, meritorious ns it is, will hardly compensate for the damage to the hospuals. The measure was introduced in good faith, of course, but it wasn't passed in that spirit. Senator Cochran, during a visit in Maine, met a man who had long been a resident of Williamsport, who said he returned to the State in which he enlisted because it paid a pension and he needed the money. But in providing for a pension to the soldiers of the .State the Legisla ture of Maine also provided reve nues to meet the expense and thus performed a patriotic service in a business and statesmanlike way. Our boss-ridden and machine con trolled Legislators neglected the most important feature of the affair and pensions soldiers at the ex pense of others also deserving. Belief ante Watchman. My Choice The Jersey. Many years ago I fell in love with that hazel-eyed, gentle, timid, fawn-like creature that has not only a proud pedigree of blood lineage for many, many generations, but presents to the world the greatest pedigree of profitable dairy produc tion of any bovine 10 existence to day, originated and matured by those sturdy Normans to whom the world is indebted for many of the great things it today enjoys, 111 the fertile garden valleys of old Nor mandy, transplanted later to those genial garden oases of the English channel known as the Channel Is lands, says L. W. Lighty in Nation al Stockman: There the same people of sturdy body and vigorous brain entered into a co-partnership with that no blest and most useful so-called brute creation, and in that co-partnership have not only shown the world the possibilities of a small patch of soil but have developed a machine that for its contribution to human wel fare has never been surpassed. Because those inhabitants of the little Island of Jersey have for many generations fed those cows the best and most complete ration of food daily year in and year out, have in every way cared for those cows to the best of their ability and have made selection and breeding for definite results a life study, they were enabled to give to the world that wonderful queen of dai ry, the little Jersey. The cow that can eat 12 times her weight of food iu a year and will manufacture therefrom nearly her weight of the finest yellow but ter the world can produce. Reared and nurtured in the genial clime of the Island of Jersey, she asks for plenty of good feed at all times, a comlortahle stable and t.he gentlest of treatment and she will respond so liberally as to repay you many times over for all this. Yes, I am prejudiced, possibly; but that little Jersey has enabled me to pay my debts; she has ena bled me to provide the necessities aud comforts, besides some luxu ries, for my family. Yea, she has enabled me to turn a cast-away farm home. She has done all this aud much more, because she is bred for a purpose, and by using her with that end in view I was ena bled to reduce the cost of produc tion to the very bottom notch and at the same time she enabled me to make a butter that at all times sells readily at the very top price in my market. There are other ex cellent dairy breeds, but for me and my work the Jersey is certain ly the flower of them all. L. W. Lighty. IlEVIEWS THE DEMOCRATS. Hon. W. L. Nnsbit. ol Northumberland. Sayi Porj inncl ol Home Wa Abnvo tho Ordinary. Hon. W. L. Nesbit, member of the house of representatives from Northumberland county, writes an teresting letter to the Milton Standard on the legislature in which he reviews the personnel of the De mocratic side ot the house. 1 he letter follows : The regular session of the legis lature of 1907 has passed into his tory. It is possible, though hardly probable, thtt there may be an extra session next winter. Iu any review of its work that is fair and unprejudiced it would, I think, appear that much good work has been done, and on the other hand there have b.-en failures and shortcomings. Speaking for tl house I think it may be fairly said that in personal character no pre vious house has presented a higher average standard 111 its member ship. 1 believe I might safely make this statement much stronger than that. .So far as came under my own observation there were but three or four cases of flagrant drunk enness, on the part of members, during the sessions, and these with one exception were not in the hall of the house, but in the corridors. On the other hand a very large proportion of the membership was composed of men taken from the best citizenship of their respective districts. On the Democratic side a dozen conspicuously able, capable and faithful representatives could be picked out of their fifty members. Several of these came from more or less strongly Republican districts as, for instance, Sterling, of Fay ette : Gearhart, of Clearfield; Minehart, of Franklin ; Davis, of Chester, and Dersham, of Unicn. These are all men who have made records of which their friends may be justly proud. Without intending any dispar agement to any former representa tive I feel justified in saying that I do not belieVe that our neighbor ing county of Union has ever been more honestly, faithfully and capa bly represented in the house than at the late session by Hon. Frank L Dersham. Questions of national politics cut no figure in the late session and if it were possible, as it could be by an amendment to the federal constitu tion, to take away from the legisla tures of all the states the election of United States senators and elect them directly by the popular vote it would be a great gain not to the senate itself, but also in raising the standard of the membership of our State legislatures. The voters would then be more ready to dis regard prrty lines when question of the personal fitness of the candid ates arise. The acknowledged leader ou the Uemocratic side was ot course "Fanner" Creasy. No more valu able man, to the people of the State at large, has ever sat in the house. His retirement, if that were to happen, would be a great loss to the people of the entire State. It is not likely to happen. The good people of Columbia county who have stood by him for so many years, to their great credit, are not likely to commit the folly of super seding him now. For twelve years he has been regularly returned from Columbia county as one of her representatives and now, since that county has lest a member under the new apportionment, her sole repre sentative. He has been a hard and faithful worker during this, as in previous sessions, and the fund of information that he has acquired on all subjects upon which the legis lature is called upon to deal with, in the ordinary course of business, is of the highest value. Ably supporting Mr. Creasy and sitting by his side was Blakeslee, of Carbon. He was the humorist of the Democratic side of the house ; but withal a most diligent, efficient and faithful worker. This was his first term ; but he rapidly forged to the front as one of the most valua ble members of the house. Annner nian, of Montour, was kept out of the house, most of the time, by his service on the capitol investigating committee. This of course inter fered with his opportunity to tal e much active part in the legislative work of the house. Beside the men above named the Democratic side had some excel lent men whose work was done chiefly in committee rooms, men like Beck, of Northampton ; Mc Gowen, of Berks ; Brown, of Clar ion ; Snyder, of Perry, and others. Taken altogether the Democratic representation in the house was made up of a very creditable body of men. OABTOniA. Bean tU lhe KM Vuu Haw Alwa,S ""J" I THE CLARK STORE Special Sale of Lace Curtains.
