It is Governor now that Matt Quay
is said to contemplate running for |
as a step in the campaign he is sup- j
posed to have undertaken for cap-
{ tilling the Presidency. The people i
j who are originating all these stories
j about the quiet junior Senator, evi.- j
dently realize that he may reasonab
;ly count upon getting almost any
j position, whether State or national,
i that he may think proper to ask for. ;
jln the meantime, Senator Quay, as
usual, is keeping his own counsel, j
I and will only disclose his wishes j
I • '
I when it suits him to do so, and j
when, in his opinion, the time is
ripe for such step as he may decide
upon taking.
Five texas ponies were brought

of the heard claimed that one of the
horses was ridden by a texas law
breaker who blew open a safe and
stole over one hundred thousand
dollars. The horse successfully car
ried him to his den with several
police in his persuit. The animal
weighs in the neighborhood of nine
hundred pounds and is well built.
The above spoken of horse was
purchased by Deputy Slierill It. 51.
Stormoilt on Wednesday and is
I claimed by Rob, to be the fastest
• runner in town, for money.
The Democratic candidates for
the nomination of Sheriff, are un
usually busy these days. Democrats
in this section say that Crossley
takes the lead and will make the
nomination easy. It matters not
to the Republican party who the
lucky man may be, if such he is
called, as we will knock him out in
November.
The K. of L. ball given by the
Dushore lodge at that place on
Monday evening, was largely- -at
tended. The receipts of the even
ing were considerably over one huu-,
died dollars. The occasion was
represented by a goodly number of
LaPorters who express themselves
pleased with the evenings entertain
ment.
A piciiic will be held at Tivoli on!
this (Thursday ) by the P. O. S. of;
A., composed of the entire district. I
The Sonestown P. (). S. of A.» will
take part. It is said that there will j
be at least two thonsan,d participants.
Prominent speakers will be in at
tendance and will address the meet-!
ing. Excursion rates from Nord
mont 25c. All are cordially invited, j
The figure "9" in our dates is
with us and has Come to stay. No
man or woman now living will ever
date a document without using a 9.
It now stands on the extreme right
—IBB9. Next year it will be in the
second place—lß9o, where it will
remain for ten years. It will then 1
move up to the third place—l9(lo.
and there it will rest on3 hundred
years.
Will it be consistent for the La-
Porte Democratic politicans who have
taken a prominent stand to secure the
Democratic nomination for John Utz,
to vote for the Crossley delegates ?j
It looks to us as if they were held!
to the bull's ring by their brother
Democrats and that they don't have j
much to say about the wire pulling
about home. This sort ot things,
must be humiliating to the little!
side. Some people would use the j
word "mum."
Children** Day (Sunday last) was'
duly observed at LaPorte. The!
teachers of the many Sunday School j
classes spared no pains to make the!
day enjoyable to their pupils. The

ed by all. Among those who re-j
cited were: Miss Clara Mallard,!
Miss Mamie Uallard, Miss Uerthaj
Crossley, Miss Eva Lawrence. Miss j
Grace Lawrence. Miss Emma Tinkle-!
paugh and Miss Mable Spencer. j

Of the many social events that
have enlivened the season at La-
Porte, by far the most unique was
the party*given by Hon. T. .J. Ing
ham and wife at the brick Mansion
on Thursday of last week. The
spacious rooms and halls had been
tastefully decorated with flowers
and evergreens and the broad ver
andas and extensive lawn were
brilliantly illumiratod with a profu
sion of •Taj janese lanterns. About i
seven o'clock and elegant supper
provided by the ladies was partaken
of by the large company, in genuine
picnic style, after which all repaired
to the large parlors on the first floor
and with the enlivening strains of
music the merry dahce began. At
midnight lunch was served after
which dancing was resumed and
continued until about 1 o'clock
when the company, having bidden
the host and hostess and each other
"good-night" returned to their
homes delighted with the enjoyment
of the occasion. Music was furnished
by F. C. Lusch of Onshore.
There were three arrests made in
1 inshore 011 Friday last for the vio
lation of the whiskey law. The
parties were John Carroll, Michael
Carmody and John Utz. The af
fidavit, of the prosecutor sets forth
that the above mentioned parties
furnished stirnnlance to parties un
der 21 years of age. The prosecu
tor, C'has. lloffa, was arrested lust
winter for selling liquor without
a license and it is well known that
Mr. Hofla is clerk for Mr. Pomeroy
who owns a drugstore in Dushore. The
arrest w is believed by all to be spite
work. In fact the entire list as above
quoted may be brought about by
petty grievances and they should
one and all be? mutually settled he
fore Sept. court. The tax payers
of Sullivan count}" have enough
legitimate expenses to settle with
out thrusting upon them a large
amount of cost which is the result
iof "revenge." It is true, however
that one should not escape unless
all are acquitted, and we verilly be
lieve that should the people of Du
shore come together and be neigh
borly and not harbor the jealous
feeling which now exists in that
I town, they would live a much liap
j pier life.

1 MIL. EDITOR:
! It is scarcely worth while to j
j make us appear to the outside world
1 any worse off than we are. .Al
though there may not be any lum
! her at the "LaPorte Sawmill," there
is enough m the i?oro to erect sever
al school houses, and Mr. Keeler had
ino difficulty in finding it,. You
; must remember the Boro is larger
! than it once was, and we would sug
j gest that you add another story to
! the "Flynn Stoi - e" before you paint
j it, as the view of your surroundings
i may become enlarged.
| The arrangement made between
the builder and the school trustees
j for the completion of the work was
I satisfactory to both parties, and it
is to be hoped that the architecture
of the building when it is completed
may be more acceptable to the tax
payers than that of the one you
I mention. Respectfully Yours,
AN INTKRKSTKM PARTY.
We take it for granted that the
above article refers to a local notice
appearing in the REPUBLICAN last
| week.
Mr. "In'erested Party" speaks of
be-littling our town by a scarcity of
dry lumber. We must confess he
takes a very different view of ap
pearances than that entertained by us.
A sear'-'t'y of lumber in a community
whe* sawmills are plenty is con
clusive evidence that our people are
utilizing the same by erecting build
ings which is a credit to our town
and must be acknowledged so by
all. We concede that there is ample
lumber in the Borough for the erec
tion of several buildings outside of
that in stock at the LaPorte saw
mill, but we were told by one of the
School Directors that this was the
cause" of the delay and so informed
our readers. In reference to the school
building being more acceptable
to the people of LaPorte, when com
pleted than the one we mentioned,
will, we arc positive, afford good
news to the tax payeis of LaPorte
• Borough. [En.]
