Susquchnnnn, Mny 17. Farmer Jac It son, of tho Cascade, Is In a quandary. Some of his family and much of the stock upon his farm have "the blues," In a chronic form. Ton days ago his two bojs waded Into a pool, Just under a large rock, to secure a turtle When they emerged from the water their lower limbs were colored an Indigo blue. The turtle was of the same hue. The lads were unable to remove the coloring and It remains today. Pleased with the noveltv, the boys gave sev eral sheep, the house cat, and a preda tory goat n bath In the pool, and they are as blue as the Queen of Spain, I'nrniei Jackson's cows ale blue to the kni'i'S, nnd the geeHe and ducks do not dlpplay a single while feather. There were four white turkeys upon the farm, but since the bojw gave them a morning bath they sit In the trees. bluer than th aulted houuns above tliem, Housewives In the neighbor hood are bottling water from the pool for laundry purpose, and a Caibon dale syndicate thinks seriously of put ting a new bland of blue Ink upon the market Some scientists contemplate visiting the pool In the Immediate futuie. to nscertaln the exnet minerals which she the wuteis their discolor ation. Furmei Jackson's blue animals me the talk of the two counties. THE IIOKHOHS OF WAR What an awful thing war Is' It took our editor and prlntir.

Is critically 111 at his home In New York Owing to his continued 111 health, It Is repotted that Rev 11. II Abbott, of Carbontlale. rector of Glace Episcopal church In Oakland, will tender his res ignation, and that the congregation w ill unite with Christ ehuich In Susque hanna. There is n strong suspicion that the ptoposed second water company In Susquehanna, to be composed of So an ion capitalists, has already gone glim mering 'inony the things that were. The aged and enfeebled members of the Methodist church weie on Sunday furnished with catriages. Judging ft om the attendance In some of the chinches on that damp day. carriages ought to hae been furnished to a large number of vounget people. Free car liages and refreshments would percept ibly Increase the attendance in a good many chinches, not only on Sunday but at the midweek piajer meeting. Theie Is no patent upon the sugges tion. AN L MISSING The spelling of the word Manila Is vailnnt. With Funk & Wngnall's dle tlonaiy one "I" Is given the prefeience, while Webster puts in tne name two "IV. HonCndale Independent.

Captain W D II Alney. of Montrose has received his commission of colo nel ot Susquehanna county voluntPcis. Hew P. H. Tower, of Thomson, will deliver the Meirwiinl dn.v address In that boiough. Beginning today, the entei prising MontroseRepubllcan Is issuing a dally Doctors now agree thai consumption is curable. Three things, if taken to gether, will cure nearly every case in the first stages; the majority of cases more ad vanced; and a tew of those far advanced. The first is, fresh air; the se cond, proper food; the third, Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver oil with hypophosphitcs. To be cured, you must not lose in weight, and, if thin,. you must gain. Nothing equals Scott's Emulsion to keep you in good flesh. OC rvd $1.00, jlldruKtsU. SCOTT & B0WN1!, CheraUw. Xi York i edition, the Dally nuiletin. The Re publican In publishing a dally in a weekly town may not gain gold ga lore, but It will get very valuable ex perience. There Is nothing slow about the Republican people. Montrose complains that sunflsh, frogs, etc., are found In lt water sup ply. Not every town enn have f resit fish right on tap. The annual teachers examination in this county will not be held this year until after the summer normal The congiegtitlon of the Montrose Presbyterian church has nlmost unan imously requested Rev. Dr A. L. Hen- ton to withdraw his resignation nnd continue n pastor FOR MEMORY AND TOR TEARS. All arrangements for desecrating Memorial Day should be discouraged If the occasion cannot be observed In the proper spirit It should not be ob served at all. IJInghamton Republi can. Right you are! Memorial Day Is not a day for base ball games, picnics and horse races. It Is a funeral day a day for memory and for tears! A WORTHY PASTOR. He wns a worthy pastor, Who saw with grief and care His congregation go to sleep, Or, which was worse elsewhere. He pondered long and deeply, That wise and pious man; And at Inst hit on a single And most effective plan. Next Sunday of his sermon The text ho hnd snld, He slid adown the pulpit stairs And stood upon his head! By thousands Hocked the people That preacher great to hear; And the titistees raised his salary To seven thousand a jeat! IN A LINE OR SO. "I.Ike thieves, In the dark, With an electilc spark, 'Twas done In the night by Spain! In God's broad daylight, In a square open light, We made them lemember the Maine." The Eile shopmen "enjoyed" a half holiday on Saturday Susquehanna's company of volun teeis still drills In the Erie main shop. The funeral of Mrs. George Staeker, late of Harmony township, occurred from the Eansboro Methodist church on Monday afternoon. John Murphy, nn aged resident of the Oakland side, died on Sunday even ing The funeral will occur on Tues day afternoon ftom St. John's Catho lic church The Erie round-house employes have placed a mammoth Hag upon a sKty foot pole. St. Andrew's commandery. No. "fi, K. T., will attend Ascension Day sen Ices In Chi 1st Episcopal chinch on Thuis day evening. Lnnesboro has a Halving "magjzlnc club." Susquehanna will appioprlately oo sore Memoiial Day. Susquehanna never forgets her dead heroes. WHOLLY UNPREMEDITATED. A drowning man will catch at a straw hat. Better an empty house than a bad tenant, unless jou make him sign a tight lease. Forgetting a wione is the best le enge especially if the other fellow Is bigger than you. A merchnnt can get along without advertising. He can also empty a hogs head of water with a teaspoon. A good many people mistake a re fiactmy lier for love. There's a good deal of icllglon in this world going about unlabellcd. RAILROAD RRIEFLETS. The Etle is doing an excellent ft eight business Genet al improvement appeals to be the piogiamme along the Jefteison branch. A new time card took eftect on the Eile's Jeffeison division on Suudav. The Ontaiio nnd Westetn Is said to be doing a fluctuating business, but a gain Is repoited for the ear. The Delawaie and Hudson will heio nftei compel Its emplojes to pay their living bills. The company will no longer be a debt collector. The Eile will reimburse Its employes In Susquehanna, May "fi, for services in April The Eile's leport shows a deficit of r-sfi.riGO. The deficit In 1S9G was $58, 198. The silence concerning the proposed Tunkhannock - Nicholson - I.auesboio load Is so dense at this end of the line that vou can almost hear It. Exclusion agents aie just now won deilng how the war will affect the "ex curtlng' business this season. Whltnev. I'hilndnlphfii Provision VI 11 r lit I.
