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. The phenomenal success of Rowland & Clifford's new produc- tion, “Dora Thorne,” has shown that the popular taste appreciates something more than vaudeville or reet, left on train 8 this morning visit friends in New York. water rents are now due and at the office of the com- ~ Ten per cent discount will 1 I | il ARE Nl INA DIENNA INSTANTLY NILE = | Has Been Ordered by Commis- Struck by Lehigh Passenger No. sioners to Collect a Certain Tax 8 at East Waverly This Morn but Finds He Has No Legal ing Means of Enforcing the Order Tony Carr, an Italian section Collector Joha Plumstead and hand, aged about 20 years, was Attorney I.

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.

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.
