Washington Excursion in December
iu now beintr discussed Former
students wishing to take this trip
may indicate their desires in tins
matter, and if a sufficient number
is secured the trip will be under
taken. Mrs. T, M. Fields died at her
home on Sixth street on Monday,
after an illness of four years, aged
57 years. She is survived by her
husband and eight children. She

M. E. church. The burial took
place on Wednesday.
Ha who attempts to split his tick
et at the cominsr election will prob
ably get mixed. The ballot is so
large and complicated that the only
safe way IS to put a cross auer uie
word "Democratic" in the left hand
column, and thus vote the straight
ticket from top to bottom.
Dolly, the horse of C. B. Gun

that she was shot last Wednesday.
She was purchased by Thos. W.

For the past three years the office
of Register and Recorder has been
occupied by Frank W. Miller. 'He

officer, and is now seeking an elec

him a popular official, and he will

One of the leading issues of the
campaign is economy in public ex
penditures. There can be no perm
anent return to prosperity in this
country so long as the government
sets the people an example of such
re-kless prodigality as has been
practiced under Republican rule in
recent years.
At the last Congressional election
in this district Hon. John G. Mc

Northuniherland. A prominent cit

made the statement that on the
present outlook Mr. McIIenry will
carry the county by over 1,000 ma
jority. If this prediction holds out
Congressman McIIenry will he
re elected by the largest majority
ever given a congressman in this
district. He will be re-electe.l any
way, and well deserves to be.

Phenomenal Weather.
Prophet Predict Ideal Weather Until No
vember.
The piesent ideal autumn weath
er, which is so invigorating and
healthlul is destined, according to
the statements of prognosticators
of the weather to continue until
the advent of November and per
haps, longer. This season, with
its intensely hot and dry summer,
and the still later extended and
severe drought, has been an exceed
ingly remarkable one surpassing,
in its peculiar conditions, all pre
vious seasons, not even that vera
cious individual, the "oldest in
habitant," remembering anything
equalling the weather phases that
have prevailed throughout the
United Mates.
Freeze Quick has had long ser
vice in the Prothonotary's office,
and is thoroughly familiar with all
the business in that department,
His nomination for Prothonotary
without opposition was a merited
compliment. His election is a fore
gone conclusion, but no Democrat
should stay at home on election
day because he thinks the party
candidate will be elected anyway.
A sufficient number of that kind of
Democrats might ' elect the other
fellow. Get out, and bring your
friends.
Vote for Quick.
Sentenced for Six Years.
Six4 years confinement in the
eastern penitentiary, a hue of S250,
arid the costs of prosecution is the
penalty Michael Lavaerera, of Cen
tralia, must pay for the killing of
Luy Salerna, last March.' He was
sentenced by Judge Evans at
Bloomsburg on Saturday morning,
after Attorney Harman withdrew
his motion for a new trial.
In sentencing him Judge Evans
said that the court would take
heed of the jury's recommendation
to the mercy of the court, and
would give nim less than half of
the limit, which is twelve years in
the penitentiary and $1,000 fine.
District Attorney C. A. Small
will succeed himself in that office.
Under his administration the busi
ness of the office has been conduct
ed with dispatch and ability. He
has endeavored to protect the inno
cent as well as to punish tbe guilty.
Since the influx of the foreign ele
ment in this county, the criminal
list has largely increased, and there
have been a number of murder
trials. All of these Mr. Small has
handled in a creditable manner.
He is entitled to a second term,
and every Democrat in the county
should support him.

Superintendent N. C Schaeffer
calls attention to the fact that Fri
day, October 23rd is arbor day and
urges that the day be observed by
the planting of trees and other suit
able exercises. Dr. S haeffer says:
"The conservation oTour natural
resources lias become a problem of
universal interest to the American
people. Our soil, our forests, our
mineral wealth and our water sup
ply cannot be wasted without im
pairing the country's greatness and
prosperity. The sources of our
wealth should be preserved and, as
far as possible, restored for the be
nefit of posterity. Whatever is
put into the schools will appear
in the life of the nation. Studies
which tend to improve our
industrial conditions should be
fostered and encon raged. The
planting of trees for shade and for
fruit, the process of budding and
grafting, the methods of desfoying
noxious insects and the prevention
of fort st fires should be studied by
the pupils in both public and pri
vate -schools.' The dissemination
of this kind of knowledge has been
greatly stimulated by the observ
ance of arbor day. The perpetua
tion of the laudable custom of cele
brating arbor day when all the
schools are in session. Friday, Oct.
23d, is hereby designated as au
tumn arbor day, and all connected
with the schools are urged to ob
serve the day by planting trees and
other suitable exercises.

as ) rt of the in ichlnerv of j notice
lias been railed in question recently
by high judicial authority. Promi
nent among the judges who hive
expressed opinions to the effect that
these juries could be advantageous
ly dispells -d with is Judge Savidge,
of the Northumberland Count
Court, who regards them uhkIi i
the liht of a li ill wheel to a waj
011. The Judge has given some
plausih'e reasons for discontinuing
the sjrvke f Grand ltiries. but h
is
vieAs are not sustained by Judg
Bell, of Hlair county, wlio does 11
ot
favor the abolition of the Grai
Jury system. At the last term
of
nis court, in defining the duties an
enlarging upon the service wind
such juries can and should render
he sai l:
"It is the duty of the grand jut
ors in considering cases to separat
lb; wheat Iroin the chaff You are
to carefully iuvestigite trivial case
and consider whether the Common
wealth Ins made out a prima faci
case. Where there is a doubt am
vou hesitate as to w.iether there
can be a conviction, then all sue!
cises should be ignored. There an
many triv ial cases of quarrels be
tween neighbors that get into court
.and the parties are generally poor
Even if conviction follow sucl
cases the parties are too poor to p.i
the costs, and they are perhaps
sent to tail and subsequently reieas
ed. In such case the grand jurors
might as well put the costs on the
county at once, and thus avoid the
expense ol a tiial in court "

the Democratic candidate for coun
ty treasurer. His popularity was
evidenced by the vote he received
at the primary election.
Probably no man in the county
is better known than John Mourey.
His occupancy of the office of sher
iff for two terms gave him the op
portunity to make acquaintances
all over the county, and where he
has made acquaintances he has al
ways made friends.
Vote for Mourey, and when you
see his genial facs in the county
treasurer's office, it will be a plea
sure to feel that you helped put him
there.

Bishop Darlington and about
twenty-five clergymen will be in at

be public. A general invitation is
extended to the evening services.
when addresses will be made by
various clergymen.
It is expected that the Rev. John
Hewitt of Bellefonte, a former rec
tor of St. Paul's will be present.
Don't Be Misled.
If any Republican candidate asks
a Democrat to vote for him merely
as a compliment because his Demo
cratic opponent will be elected any
way, don t be misled. Republicans
are not in the habit of giving com
plimentary votes to Democrats as a
general thing, and it is a poor rule
that won't work both ways.
The only safe and sure way is to
vote a straight Democratic ticket.

Water Famine Threatens Scranton,
Only 35 Days' Supply in Storage
Scranton is on the vere of n
water famine. The threatened con
dition constitutes a erave menace
to the health of the city. Only
thirty-five days' supply remains
in the storage reservoirs of the
Scrantou Gas & Water company.
Once the reserve supp.y is gone
and the people have to depend no
on the natural flow ot the streams
and the normal amount of rain
only five million gallon a day
could be had as compared to about
thirty million gallons being con
sumed at present per day.
This would mean that there
would be a lot of closets without
water and anvbodv now easilv
understands what a situation of
that kind can result in.
Furthermore there would be
parts of the city that would have
to do without water or cart it from
springs in the mountain or get it
from wherever it could be obtain
