Gillespie Tax Collector Plumstead is get- ting hot after delinquents. Yester- day one man was arrested for non payment of taxes and the collector says there are a number of others who will get in trouble if they don't settle. Of the many books that Bertha M. Clay has written, none has had the popularity and been so widely read as “Dora Thorne.” This ex- cellént love story has been drama- tized by Lem B. Parker and will be produced here on Friday at the Loomis.

MAN MISSING Albert H. Otis, a Bradford county farmer who lives near To- wanda, has been missing since Saturday and his family are becom- ing alarmed. Otis went to the county seat on Saturday forenoon. Saturday night at 11 o'clock he left the home of Sherman McCor- mick in that place and has not been seen since. It is said that he intended to board a train for Rum- merfield. The night station agent at East Towanda says that a man answering Otis’ description jumped aboard a freight train on Sunday morning, but further than this the man’s family have been unable to find any trace of him. He has five children and they are of the opin- ion that he has met with foul play. MN. BROWN'S REPUTATION The “Binghamton and Elmira papers speak in glowing terms of Kirk Brown and his company which is booked for the Loomis this evening. The company is declared to be the best popular price organization that has yet appeared in either of these cities and the theatre-goers have simply gone wild over the performances In Binghamton Mr. Brown played a two weeks’ engagement and each night the Stone opera house was packed to its capacity. A large crowd went to the Loomis this] afternoon to witness the matinee | performance and the indications | are that the house will be packed | again tonight.

The male portion of the inhabitants of the place devoted their cfforts to saving buildings adjacent to the hotel and by a dint of hard work were successful. The loss will probably reach $3,000, which is partly covered by insurance. Coggswell and Swingle, former residents of Towanda, were the proprietors of the burned hotel.

The other day in a place down the state a funeral party was compelled to wait for three hours in order that the grave digger might complete his job as the law required. In this case the deceased had died of a contagious disease and the law requires that the body shall be buried within thirty-six hours after death. The grave dig- ger claims that the time is insuffi- cient to dig a grave that will meet the requirements of the law.

Fleischutt was arrested by Chief] Walsh and after being taken into| custody wanted to give bail. As the law does not permit bail to be entered in such cases Fleischutt then wanted a hearing. The law again proved and obstacle and the matter was finally adjusted by the pnsoner giving security that he the delinquent taxes within five days. The amount of the taxes and costs is $8.40, and Nick Stafford, of the firm of Staf. ford & Hope, the Thomas avenue grocers, became Fleischutt's secu ntp and thereby obtained his lib- erty.
