Nw T0 BSE Sewer Question and Town Hall Proposition Should Be Dispos- ed of Before Summer Months Arrive Now that the new council has been duly organized why not get down to” business and dispose of some of the questions that have been agitating the citizens of Sayre borough for nearly a year. The sewer question is still in the hands of a council committee and so is the town hall proposition. Both questions have been dragging along under the plea that more time is needed and that questions of such importance can not be determined quickly. It will be conceded that matters of this character cannot be attended to in a minute, but it scems as if a year ought to be suf- ficient time for the council to make up its mind what is needed in the shape of sewers. A sewer system and a town hall for Sayre are need- ed badly and before the summer months arrive, both questions should be determined either one way or the other. LOCAL NENTION John Bull of this place has been appointed administrator of the es« tates of Stephen and Sarah Osborn, both deceased, in place of John R. Post, resigned.

The meeting was attended by a large crowd of local machinists, and the remarks made by Mr. O'Connell were of a highly interesting nature, His address was particularly direct- ed against the piece work sytem which he characterized as being in- employe. He insisted that machin- ists who were employed on piece work were likely to slight work in order to get it out quickly, and as a result bad workmen were thus created, while the employer is fur- nished an jnferior quality of work. Mr. O'Connell also spoke against the “handy man,” and said that the practice of using them where they did work usually accomplished by a machinist, should be discouraged. Mr. O'Connell is a forceful and en- tertaining talker and his address great attention. CHARGED WIT ARCER BY BALE Gately Furniture Co.

EC PES SPEAKS AT ELNIRA at | That City Spoken of by the | Press in Most Flattering Terms The Elmira daily papers speak in the most flattering terms of an address delivered by the Rev. E. C. Petrie, pastor of the Sayre Presby- terian church, before the Current Topic Club of the former place on Monday evening last. “Mormon- ism" was the subject of Mr. Petrie's remarks and the Gazette and Free Press of last evening has the fol- lowing to say concerning it : “The address on the subject was | most ably composed and was well | delivered and the members of the ‘club learned much of this strange |creed of which they had hitherto been in ignorance. He began his remarks by telling of the founding of Mormonism by Joseph Smith, who told of strange visions which |came to him when he looked upon a curious crystal, found in digging a well near Palmyra. The Mormon church was founded with five or six members following these visions, and the wanderings of the Mor- mons from then until they finally {took up their abode in the valley {of the Salt Lake in Utah was graphically described. | “The speaker said that there are ‘now 280,000 Mormons in Utah, or | three-fifths of the population, and {that Mormonism practically con- [trols Wyoming, Idaho and Indian | Territory, and thousands of Mor | mons people the states of California, | lllinois, Michigan and Iowa besides | “A short time ago Rev. Petrie | traveled in Utah, and for a time [saw the conditions as they exist in | Salt Lake city, and he told of the [Strange customs of polygamy and |of the practices which make Mor- |monism abhored by civilized gen- tiles. The doctrine of Mormonism was explained and the important part that it plays in the politics of part of the land in which it reigns supreme was shown to be all powerful. “Rev. Petrie dwelt on the lives of the more prominent Mormons —thé Smiths, Brigham Young and Reed Smoot, prominent of late because of the efforts to deprive him of his chair in the United States - Senate. Reed Smoot is not a polygamist, but the efforts to oust him must show that he is an apostle of the Mormon faith which by its oaths of allegiance binds one even above those of his country. An interesting dis- cussion followed the address in which several additional points were brought out.” te A ——— COMING NEXT WEEK The forthcoming annual visit of the Murray & Mackey company will no doubt be warmly welcom. ed by the lovers of all that is good in comedy and melodrama. The opening play for Monday evening is Beware of Men.

GENGER'S CHANGE Edward Ginger, who has been the night foreman of machinists at the round house for some time past, has resigned to accept a day- posi~ | tion. Mr. Geager is one of the Le- {high Valley's most popular and respected employes, and the night {machinists at the round house very | much regret his decision to change. i | Denny Norvak, an Austrian, who resides in Sayre has filed his notice of intention of becoming a citizen of the United States, He is 29 years of age and came to this in 1901.
