under the roots of an oak tree. One
of the forelcRH Is missing. One of the

knee. A part of the head was In tho
crevice of a rock nearby. Lime water
falllnjr on the hones had turned them
Into stone. The outlines of the body
nre quite perfect. The teeth are six
inches Ions, and quite regular.
Some of the vicinity farmers believe
tho bones to be thofe of some giant
animal of the horse species, while a
local Geologist is sure that they are
those of a mastodon. There arc foot
prints In a soft rock In tho vicinity as
largo as a half-bushel measure. Th
hones have been carefully packed and
pent to the professors at Syracuse uni
versity. Their verdict Is eagerly await
ed by the people of Starrucca and
vicinity.
SOMR PERSONAL PICKUPS.
Colonel Charles C. Pratt's boom for
mate senator for this district is In a
healthy condition. He is in every way
splendidly equipped for tho position.
William J. Pike, of Hallstead, Con
gressman Grow's private secretary, Is
luxuriating under orange trees in Cali
fornia, seeking health and recreation.
Hon. James T. Dullols and family,
of Hallstead, are speeding homo from
Switzerland and the Paris exposition.
A warm welcome home awaits them.
Captain II. P. Peardsley, of Mont
rose, I3 tho only major general In Sus
quehanna county. His veterans, like
himself, have all seen real war. All
too soon they will pass over the river
and rest in the shadow of the trees.
John M. Kelly, esq., of Montrose, the
choice of tho Democracy of Susque
hanna county for congressman, has
not yet engaged quarters in Washing
ton. All the same, "John M." would
fill the position with ability and credit.
Some sweet day this district may be
Democratic, and then !
CAUGHT EN ItOUTE.
It seems that a good many people
went to Paris, forgetting that there
was no box car route back.
A "Hopper" is defined as a man that
leaves his party because he cannot
take it with him.
An exchange thinks the Democrats
would have a good chance If they were
to sue the Poxers for damages to the
issue of antl-lmperlalism.
It Is easier to love a poor girl than
a rich one, because there Is less com
petition. When one woman out of a hundred
has nothing to pay, the other ninety
nine are asking what is the matter
with her.
A philosopher says a nice kind of a
person Is one who does not hold you
responsible today for what you said
yesterday.
FAMILY REUNIONS.
It Is an Inclement day when there is
not a family reunion somewhere in
Susquehanna county. These are an
nual occasions, when rich relatives tol
erate their poor ones; when execrable
cooking passes muster without cuss
words; nnd when "the oldest inhabit
ants" swap lies to their heart's con
tent. And yet there are mote afflic
tions than annual family reunions.
CHURCHES AS SOCIAL CLUBS.
Rev. John Watson, widely known as
"Ian Maclaren," Is of the opinion that
many churches are rapidly becoming
social clubs. The text of his criticism
was founded on a postal card sent out
by a Young Women's Christian asso
ciation, which read word for word as
follows:
DO NOT FORGET.
The next social.
The next candy-pull.
The next entertainment.
The next song service.
The next Gospel meeting.
The next meeting of tho debating
club.
The next chlcken-plo dinner.
The next date when you ought to
make the secretary happy with your
cash.
SOME NEWS MATTERS.

ni association will enjoy a steamer

Mrs. Icelyna Pest, of this county,
Is suing for dlorce. A coldness seems
to have sprung up between her nnd
her husband. Perhaps her name did
It.
POPULAR AT HOME.
Our congressman, Hon. C. Fred
Wright, Is popular with tho people of
his town nnd county, because of his
fair and honorable methods of doing
business, nnd all slanders against him,
put In circulation by disappointed nnd
disgruntled people, will fall as seed
sown wheie is no depth of earth.
Tho best criterion by which to Judge
a public man is by his reputation and
popularity at home, nnd It Is certain
from the strength of Mr. Wright's for
tifications that he will scarcely stoop
to notice tho attacks of blood-suck-lng
Insects which nttempt to buzz
nround him from certnln sections out
side of his own county. Mr. Wright
has made a most excellent record In
congress, nnd ho will be returned by
n handsome, Increased, majority.

Oliver Civllnhnn, 415 Vine street.

Richard Roberts, 1303 Hampton

Yesterday was the first day In some
weekB when there was no chances In
the standing: of contestants In The
Tribune's Educational Contest. David
V. Blrtley brought In the largest num
ber of points, but Oliver Callahan also
made some returns and Is still several
points ahead. Arthur Kemmerer suc
ceeded In getting; a Utttle nearer to
David C. Spencer, but In his case, as
In the others, the gains were not suf
ficient to result In changes.
With cooler weather and people be
ginning" to return from summer vaca
tions, the opportunities for securing
subscriptions Increase. Contestants
should bear this In mind and endeavor
to make every day count. That Is the
only way to maintain a position in the
list, for Inactivity Is sure to result In
a gradual dropping to the rear, while
the more ambitious climb, step by stpp,
to the top.
Success means work, and continual
work, but the labor Is not hard. It Is
honest, clean employment, and the re
sults within reach of all are well worth
earnest efforts.
THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York. Aug. 14 Today's .tocl: market
gave a marked exhibition nt strength, reflecting
ecu it did an upward movement in all classes ol
securities. No eloubt the chief Impetus to the
rii-e was manipulative orders, particularly so in
the steel group. Reports ol a poaible amicable
adjustment of tho wage kchedute wan responsible
for a rise cf 3 points in American Tinplate and
lal',4 in kindred iiropertlcK. The buoyancy ol
this group radiateil throughout the entile mar
ket nnd inllurnccd pool operations in other
stocks. As )esterdav the leading railroad shares
occupied a commanding position in the markt
eccpt large blocks of the Atchlsons, Grangers
and Pacific) being taken at improve incuts tang
ing from a large fraction to l's In St. Paul.
Practically the only laggards to the upward
trend of railroad stocks were Baltimore and
Ohio nnd Southern Pacific, the first mentioned
was sold heavily on its July earnings, whkh
tell off SATU'Jfl net. An effort was made to raid
Southern Pacific on the announcement of Presi
dent (', P. Huntington, but the opening offer
of a block of 2,60) bhares at 3-Hi, which was
of one per cent, umler yesterday's clcte, was
readily ilMorhecl. Indie ationic that the stock was
to bo fiupportcil influenced the- bears to transfer
the attack to sugar This tdock displavcd a
good deal ot irregularity and ended lVi off. As
the effective buying ol the railroad stocks be
came more marked mam- of the usually inactive
stocks participated In the ilealings and Improved
materially. Total Mies, U'JT.fiuO.
An increni-e w.ls noted in bond transactions to.
day, belt the inquiry was generally for the

quite firm. Total Falei, par value, )7.15,O0O. I',
