William Kloscokowsky, who has been running a small store In the Boulter building on South Main street, will be sold out by Constable M, J. Walsh on Monday next at 2 o'clock In tho after noon. A sad feature of the case Is that tho proprietor Is lying very low with consumption. Miss May Maxey, of Bozcman, Mon tana, has been tho guest of Forest City relatives for the past few days. From hero she goes to Scranton to spend a short time with friends before starting for her western home. Miss Mnxey has Just graduated from the Boston Conservatory of Music. Tho Hillside Coal nnd Iron company'a FIro company has received a splendid new hose wagon. The color chosen wns white, and the wagon makes a very pretty appearance.' Although the com pany was organized nnd is maintained for the protection of Hillside property, yet nt every lire that occurs tho bovs are promptly on the ground working with well directed energy. The people of the borough appreciate the services they havo rendered and will be pleased to noto the recent addition to the com pany's equipment. There are less buildings being erect, ed here this spring than any spring before since Forest City has been a borough. The reason, no doubt, is tho dull times nnd scarcity of money. The carelessness shown by many drivers in blocking the crosswalks and holding pedestrians back or making them wade through the mud, leads one to think that a man may be the best of men In every other way, and every other common law of decency obey, apd yet, nine cases out of ten, he'll stop hla team and talk, with his wagon nt a crossing, standing square across tho walk. This Is putting It very mildly. A convention will be held by Susque hanna county Republicans, at Mont rose, on Tuesday, June 15. The pri maries for election of delegates throughout the county will be held on Saturday, June 12. Forest City is en titled to four delegates, having two wards, but should havo a delegation of at least six. Montrose has little more than half tho voters we have, but yet Is divided Into three wards and conse quently wleld3 much greater Influence in a convention than we do. Working on the county seat plan, we should havo at least five wards, which would give us a delegation of ten. However, Just for tho present we will have to be satisfied. Our delegates will have the opportunity of helping to nominate a prothonotary, Jury commissioner, coroner and three delegates to the state convention. The prothonotaryshlp is the principal ofllce to be filled. For this, It now looks as If H. F. Manzer, of Susquehanna, would receive the Re publican nomination. He Is fitted to fill the ofllce acceptably, and would be as strong a candidate as could be chos en. Of course, a Republican nomina tion means nn election in this county, so the real light for these offices will be In the convention of June 15. AVOCA. Patrick Dunnigan. aged nbout 11 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Dun nigan, of the North End, sustained se vere Injuries about the foot on Tuesday afternoon while jumping on cars on the Erie nnd Wyoming railroad.
