Many automobile owners will be in

State Highway Department holds good.
Officials have received word to the tfleot
that after tbe first of January, of the com
ing year, "Joint ownership registration"
of automobiles would he discoutinued
aud the licenses for the operation of any
motor vehicle would be issued In the
name of but one person. Furthermore,
every other person than the owner op
erating a car, will be required to take out
a drivers' license, costing $2. Tbe new
rule is expected to make quite an inoreasa
In the revenues derived by tbe State fiom
automobiles, and no little chagrin among

A complaint comes from Grand Val
ley tbat there it appears as If the game
wardens are a county farce and exist in
na ne only. It is said that within the vi
cinity of Grand Valley the game laws are
a bv word and such a word as "limit" to
the amount of game 1 hat can be legally
killed, Is unknown. Tbe game laws are
openly being daily violated aud, at the
present time, a hunting party from Erie
is being piloted about the hunting
grounds and game is being slaughtered
regardless of law or decency. According
to the ideaa of residents of that section, it
ia high time that the authorities gel after
the "guides" snd see to It tbat they sre
given lessons auob ss local men received
last season. It Is complained that unless
this be done, tbat the time is not far dis
tant when a respectable sportsman will
be unable to got a few birds, It baa been
stated that there have beeu sleuths iu
this section for some time, but whether
they will make arrests juBt now, or wait
until later in the year, as they did last
season remains to be seen. There cer
tainly is a good opportunity fur game
wardens to do work along tbe D. A. V.

The second number of the lecture
course was given Tuesday evening or
last week by tbe Rev. Rosooe Luper
Fuulke, of Erie, Pa., and this number
alone was well worth the price paid for
tbe entire course. Dr. Fuulke has a
good voice, a charming personality and a
pleasing delivery, and he captivated his
audience from the start. His subject was
"Uucblsnled Gems" and dealt with boy
life. He made an Impassioned plea that
the boy be given a square deal, and that
bis audience was In thorough sympathy
with him snd tbe subject was evidenced
by tbe hearty applause accorded hltn
throughout the evening. Indeed be made
sucb a good impression on bis hearers

A Dastardly Outrage.
On Wednesday night before Thanks
giving the good name of our town was
disgraced by the most dastardly outrage
ever committed in the community when
some unknown persons entered River
side Cemetery aud damaged three monu
ments by toppling them from their foun
dations. The stones disturbed were
those erected over tbe graves of Mr. J,
U. Dingman, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Amor,
snd Mrs. Jacob Siggins. In the first two
instances mentioned the pedestals were
pushed from their bases but the Siggius
monument was further damaged by the
top being broken off as it fell. We re
frained from mentioning the outrage last
woek, under agreement, in the hope that
the guilty parties might be ferreted out li'
the matter was not given loo much pub
licity, hut so far there seems to be no
clue. It is thought to have been the
work of drunken hoodlums. It was an
outrage de-ervlug of the severest pun
ishment the law can inflict and we hope
the guilty parties may be found aud
placed where they can neither desecrate
cemeteries or contaminate decent citizens.
