Thinks the Town Slow
Because It Has No
Poles in Very Center
On a tour of inspection soon after
he arrived here, James T. Tolles, an
Oil City lineman-fireman, ambled
down Market street yesterday. On the
other side of the street lie sighted a
fellow craftsman with a pair of creep
ers slung over his shoulder. At oneo
he yearned for a view of the city from
the top of a gently swaying telephone
pole.
'Say, pard," he accosted the line
man, "give me those creepers. My
legs Just yearn for the grip of a pole."
They were given him and after sling
ing them over his shoulders, he started
for a pole.
"This town is mighty slow," he
laughed. "Why it can't touch Oil City.
You've got no pples, not even in the
business section of the city."
With Tolles were Philip Hyer, Rob
ert Raynor and John Loyzer, three
other Oil City delegates.

against Murphy, and as Commission- |
ITS Taylor. Lynch and Bowman /re- j
fluently put it, "to give a man who Is
charged with an offense or series of of- j
fenses a chance to defend hlmßelf," it

Mayor Royal's appointees of tempor- .
ary police officers to serve during the

1,. Patton, chairman of the committee
on entertainments grabbed the chance
and Harrisbnrg folks, along with the
many thousand visitors, are promised
much of special interest.
The big show reached Harrlsburg
yesterday. It required sixty cars to

Early this morning a large force of
canvasmen began work erecting the
tents and putting the exhibits in
shape. A parade will precede the
opening to-night.
The exposition Is made up of twen
ty-five different amusement enter
prises, assembled from among the
leading entertainment concerns of the
universe. In brand new equipment,
everything brightly gilded, illumina
tions to transform night's darkness in
to veritable day, the very air will ring
with joviat«*Kpirit and popular amuse
ment. The main thoroughfare through
the exposition promises to be a popu
lar place, as safe for women and chil
dren as for men. There will be noth
ing objectionable In any department of
the show.
Some idea of the nature of the
amusements can he gleaned from the
following resume of the attractions:
Captain Ferari's dog, pony and monkey
shbw; the trained tiger, lion, Jaguar
and puma exhibition; the motor
dome, wherein motorcyclists will dash
around the bowl-shaped track at ter
rific speed; beautiful splendora, an
electrical illusion; the pastime of the
Orient; Minnie Ha Ha, the famous
Barnum, "What Is It?"; trip to Mars;
the wonderland; the ghost and mani
kin shows; the peanut, popcorn,
frankfurter and other stands.
Cars running to Reservoir Park,
ilnd on the Hummelstown and Derry
street lines run within a short dis
tance of the show grounds.

T. K. VanDyke Tries to
Justify Democratic Plea
to Liquor Men For Funds
T. K. VanDyke has written a letter
to the Telegraph enclosing a copy of
a letter purporting to have been writ
ten by Neai Bonner, said to be presi
dent of Pennsylvania Liquor Dealers,
ers, which is an appeal to the Phila
delphia liquor dealers to see that
voters are registered. This letter sets
forth that a strong tight is being made
against the Hquor interests by mem
bers of the league and urges members
of the association to get in to the
tight against McCormick and Palmer.
Mr. VanDyke recently addressed a
letter as the representative of the
Democratic State committee to certain
notelkeepers and others in this .city
and county asking contributions for the
Democratic machine which caused a
sensation among temperance people,
who had been led to believe that the
Democratic organization was fighting
the liquor Interests and were shocked
to lind that they were soliciting funds
from this source. Mr. VanDyke, by
quoting the Bonner letter, said to have
been written some weeks ago, evi
dently Is endeavoring to Justify his
I own activity in behalf of the Demo
cratic candidates among the liquor
dealers.
