of the Immense strides in invention
nnd the adoption by newspapers of
eery avenue of pi ogress has made it
absolutely nocessaiy for everyone to

ago the man In a small town who took
a dally paper was regarded as an ex
tremely enterprising citizen: today the
small farming communities are count
ed upon to furnish n very substantial
portion of the cln ulatlon, and no town
lias pioen too small to be neglected
by the canvassers of an enterprising
newspaper.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER.
Patrick Henesy Tries to Shoot Yard
master Fred Blown at Coxton.
Special to tho Semite n Tribune
Pittston, July 22. A bold nttempt
was much' Kiiiluy aftemoon to take tl,e
life of Fted II. Iliovvn, of West Pitts
ton, aidmaster at the Coxton atd of
the Lehigh Valley lnllioad sstem, but
the attempt was fiustr.Ued tluough
tho piesence of mind and prompt ac
tion of Mr. Drown.
Tor seveial houis duiing the day a
man was noticed wandeilng through
the yaid. evidently in search of some
one. About 2 o'clock, as Mr. Hi own
was about his duties In the yaid, he
was approached by the stranger, who
Inemlied If his name was Ilrovvn. As
the yaidmaster leplled In the atllima
tlve, the stranger muttered: "Well,
you're the I'm looking for,"
and with a volley of oaths, he drew a
levolver fiom his hip pocket nnd lalsed
It to the. Quick as a Hash Mr. lb own
seized hold of the man's hand nnd held
on till neaibv woikmen came to his
assistance.
An olllcer was quickly In ought to the
scene, and the man placed under ar
lest and taken to the West Pittston
lockup. This evening he was given a
hearing hefoio 'Squire Khiet, nnd held
under $1,000 bail, in default of which
he was committed to jail.
The man gave his name as Patilelc
Henesy, and sold he lived In Glen Lyot.
He wns evidentlv undei tho lmpies.
slon that Mi. Hi own had a grudge
against him. Mr. Ilrovvn recognized
Henpsy as a man who was employed
as fireman at tho holler house In the
yaid In 1!9G or '97. nnd who had been

This Is thought to bo tho only plausible
cause for Ilenesy's notion.

AVOCA.
To marshal the Idebtedness of a bor

average councilman. Year after year
the election returns gives us ofllcera
whose ancestors even have nover own
ed a Bqunre foot of grund in Avca. Tho
taxpayers have emerged into a stato
of lassitude, but "even a worm will
turn when trampled on" and the out
rages that have practiced by these, pol
iticians will be avenged by the citizens
who have always had a desire to Im
prove the town, but who refuse to
I esort to the despicable means that
i just be practiced at tho caucuses and
primaries, Tho marshal Is now com
plete and the result shows, nccoi cl
ing to Saturday's Argus, a special tax
of $10,836.55. The foltowing are tho
principal eye-openers: Standard Eleo

costs $101; Paul Sherwood, $79.33; in
terest and costs, $39.G1; Sptlng Brook
Wntcr company, $120 00; ndvettlslng,
$00. This means a levy of 310 mills on
all taxable property. No wonder peo
ple shudder when they must give up
their comfortable homes elsewhere
when their occupation compels them
to lcsllo In the town. The resouues
now amount to $2940 and the expenses
