LAPORTE, PA. FEBRUARY 21st, 1890 L33AL DEPARTMENT The grass is green in spots. Sunday was a Spring like day. Lent began on Wednesday last. Court will convene on Monday next. Washington's birthday, next Sat urday. Republican Convention March 4th '9O. Tuesday was a fine day for elec tioneering. The lengthening of the days is be coming quite perceptible. The people of To wanda will be taxed S 2,340 per year for electric light. .John W. Carroll and wife of Du shore, registered at Hotel Kennedy on Monday. James MoFarlane Esq., was called to New York city; on business, Weduesday. Sheriff Utz, of Dushore, was called to the county scat on ollicial business Wednesday. Jaihcs Miller Esq., superintendent of Muncy Valley tannery, was trans acting business in town, on Satur day. Mrs. M. C. Lauer and daughter Mrs. JOB. Barrows of Laporte, spent several days last week, with Iriends in Athens. Mrs. Jefferson Davis is engaged in "writing a book on the life ol her husband, which will soon be ready j for the press. A bundle of spider web, not larger j than a buckshot, would il straighten ed out and untangled, reach a dis- j tauce of 3f)o nines. Taking whiskey straight makes | niauy a man crooked. What have ; 'you to say to this; isn't it as straight l as a temperance lecture '! If a man desires io go through < life and please everybody, he will j be obliged to travel back and untrod- i den ro-uls. This i.i a fact beyond doubt. } \Ve understand that the people of! Fox twp., will remonstrate against j the granting of license to Henry E. j Thomas, of Shunk, at this teiin of court. Republican county convention j will convene in the Court i louse, at LaPorte, on Tuesday, March 4th '9O. A general attendance is re quested. Persons desiring a place to stop during court week can be entertain ed by Mr. Wm. Meylert at reason able rates. Call at the store of Meylert <fc Co. The annual session or the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church will be gin March 19th, in James W. Busier memorial hall, Carlisle. The Mite Social for the benefit of the Y. W. C. T. U., will meet at the 'home of Harriet E. Grimm, Friday Feb. 21st. at half past seven o'clock. All arc cordially invited. A surprise party was given by the young people of Laporte, at Fairview cottage, in honor of Miss Emma Tinklepaugh, on Tuesday evening. The event was enjoyed b} 1 all present. Robins are quite numerous through this section. Their warble from the tree top, is heard almost daily. Spring will soon be here and pre dictions of snow will be a thing of the past. The party given at Hotel Kennedy on Wednesday evening of last week, was attended ' y about 20 couple, and all present pronounced it the boss dance of the season. An ele gant supper was served at 12 m. When Mrs. Cleveland was ill the White House she was treated with the greatest courtesy by the Re publican press. In marked contrast is the treatment of Mis. Harrison by the Democratic newspapers, to their shame it must be said. The vote on the erection of a new school house in Dushore boro., on Tuesday last, stood 112 for and 17 against. This surely is good proof that Dushore will soon have a new school building, in which event at least 112 citizens of Said boro. will iejoice. A. T. Armstrong of Glensharon, was transacting business at the count seal, oil Wednesdaj-. J Chief Deputy Collector, E. P. Ingham of Philadelphia, will be in attendance at court next week. He is expected on Saturday evening. His many friends throughout the county will be pleased to see him. j There is a possibility that tke English will issue silver certificates jsomething of the character of onr i ! own. If this is done, the silver , stocks will have a real booin, as the I ; price of silver must go up. Senator Key burn of Philadelphia i will serve the unexpired term of ,the late Judge Kelley in Congress. | This decision was made by the people | of the Fourth Congressional district of Philadelphia, on Tuesday. August Buschhausen of LaPorte has recently purchased a horse. Aug. saj's he can drive this horse to Dushore in 1J hours and we guess he can "do her" if the back bone don't play out, which is very pecul iar y shaped. It is said that a large delegation of Dushore people will be in at tendance at Court next week, sub poened on the case of the Com'lth vs John \Y. Canoll, for violating the liquor iaw. Young men as well as old are entwined in the circle. { The President's proclamation opening the Sioux reservation in South Dakota, to settlement, was issued on Monday of last week. : Thousands of people took up quart jers in the new lieUi, immediately on the announcement of the same. j The law provides that the heads of families who refuse to give tiie census enumerator information con cerning his family, can be lined S3O. iWe trust that there will be no line i imposed on our Sullivan county ! people. Assist the enumerator to : complete his work. i It will cither rain or snow next | week as is customary during court weeic. We predict that we will have the greatest fall of snow of the seas on. \V ith this assurance lumber men can put themselves in readi ness for a busy time. A pine tree thirteen feet in cir cumference was cut in Wyoming county, recently. T : \e tree scaled 4280 feet. If hemic k are to be in cluded in the make up of a good sized ''up a tree" story. Sullivan car knock the bark olffrom the above mentioned sapling. it surely begins to look as if Tlios. B. Reed,speak er of the House, had placed himself on the lop most round ofthe ladder of the Republi can party. Speaker Reed is to be congratulated for the course he is pursuing, in what might he termed a "Wild West Show" not inclosed by j canvass but slaight roof. Don't forget the grand ball to be i given in Carey's Hall Dushore Pa., \ on Friday evening, Feb. 21. During j the evening there will be a concert consisting of banjo solos, and clog dancing by artists engaged especially for the occasion. All are assured a good time. We learn that .John Gansel of Muncy Valley did not attempt to commit suicide last week as was stated in the REPUBLICAN Feb. 14th. He was handling a self cocking re volver at the time stated and carless |ly discharged it from which the I story originated. A. A. Baker of Laporte twp., left on Monday for Bradford county where he anticipates purchasing a shingle machine. He will erect the same on the old mill site at Celestia where he will manufacture the useful article. We understand that August Buschhausen of Laporte will enter partnership with Mr. B. in the new enterprise. Success to the new cor. poration. Frederick H. Keller, Esq., Repub lican nominee for Mayor of William sport, was elected by a lmndsom majority, (135) on Tuesday last. The fight existing for that honor between James Forestnan and the gentleman elected was warmly con tested. The entire Republican ticket was elected with the exception of Controller. Much honor for this victory is due the Gazette and /lulletin which paper took a very promirent part for Keller in the campaign. We congratulate you upon your success. Every ten years this county comes to its census. M. L. Keller, Esq., express agent at Souestown, received a telephone message on Monday that both his father and mother, who reside at Light Street Columbia county, were seriously ill ami requested him to come at once. Mr. Keller will take his departure 011 this (Friday) and remain with the old people several months. It is authoritatively stated that Robert E. Pattison will take the Democratic nomination if it is tend ered him. lie is the strongest can didate the Democracy could nomi nate and in the event of the forced nomination of an unpopular candi date by the Republicans he would have a good fighting chance to win. The editor of the Gazette should not be held to too strict an account ability but he really should avoid making himself out-botli untruthful . and a fool in oue and the same article. Last week he says"the Republicans held a County Con vention which was attended by only two persons, and that devoted a half column to the proceedings of the convention." The truth is, j the meeting was a Standing Corn j mittee meeting, not a convention, and j j that five members were present, (as many as either party usually get to gether when merely formal business 1 is to be done) and that one-half column i I report gave the names of the Vigil ance Committee for the several dis-i I tricts. It only goes to show thatj j Streby is both ignorant and un- 1 truthful. Ignorant not to know the! ! " i difference between a Standing Com mittee meeting and a Convention 1 i (and yet this man is an EDITOR!! j Heaven save the mark!) and un-j | truthful instateing the numberiu at tendance, thus attempting a slur up-1 j oil his Republican neighbors. This) same man who edits (?) the Gazette | is seriout'ly a candidate for county 1 Tiei>>urer. If he should, through j any public calmity. get elected to! tiiat oliiee we hope his bondsmen j ! will make sure that he knows enough jto make a hole in the snow, with a! • cane, before they become bound, at! 1 J I | present Ueorgie could Y<t qualify. 1 Marriage is not a failure in the, wild hustling west. A bill iias just been introduced into the Wyoming! 'Legislature taxing bachelors over! ■ thirty-five §2.50 a year. Wonder| 1 what the old maids will contribute.! If anything, and a law of the same! nature should be passed in this! section, the cost of the county ad ministration would be tlxed. Census enumerators will be paid as follows: For every living person, two cents; for every death, two cents; for every firm, twenty-five cents; for every factory, thirty cents; for each veteran or veteran's widow, five cents. In special cases an enumerator may be paid by the day, not to exceed $5. The cost of taking the census of 1860 was over $2,000,000, and the one this year is estimated at fiiteen millions larger than in 1880. The work of enumer ating will be done during the mouth of June next. We learn from a Democrat that the announcement in the Gazette last week stating that Josh Lull will remain in the county and be a can didate for Member this fall, is not correct. The gentleman in conver sation called our attention to a similiar announcement made by that paper just before last Fall's election iu which it stated that a certain party would not be a candidate for oliiee, and said that there was just as much truth in the former state ment as the one just made. Judg ing from the break Streby made in his article last week in reference to the Republican county convention convening, at LaPorte recently, we imagine that the boy is not alto gether balanced in the upper story. The editor in chief must have been absent from home when this unparalleled blunder was put iu print. Had the article purported anything but a slur, we would have given it but little attention, but the idea of a man racking his brains (?) to say something which he con sidered smart, containing such a 1001-head-blunder as did this article, then we say that the purporter is beyond recognition among the 'editors of the present age. The LaPorte W. C. T. U., are making every effort possible to pre vent the granting of licenses to the LaPorte Hotel and Hotel Kennedy. They are now engaged in circulating remonstrances against both houses. A recent decision of the courts maintains that if a man wants togo faster than another ahead of him on the road he is going, he has a right to pass, and if he is prevented by the other, and an accident should happen thereby, the man thus ob structing the road is responsible for the damage done. No man has the right to infringe upon the right" of others, however, in trying to pass. 111 Lathrop, Mo., on Veb. IG, the temperance women called a meeting and resolved to break up the saloon business in that village. They formed a procession in front of the Opera House headed by a minister and marched down Main St. forceing open saloon doors and demolishing whiskey barrels and beer bottles in a most frantic maimer. The dero gation was composed of the best families of the town in which were 50 women with their husbands in league, but who refused to aid in doing the work. They say, how ever, that they will sltoot the tirst man who attempts to arrest a single women who took part in the ailair. The saloon keepers, with blood in their eye have vowed that each and every one who took part in the scheme shall be brought to justice. The cause of the riot is supposed to have originated from a murder which was perpetrated 011 the 27th of Jan. caused by whiskey obtainod at one of tue demolished saloons. The out come of this rash act will be looked for with interest by the cominuuity at Large. POSTMASTER EMEHY. ' Congroeuman McCormick Finally Makes a Selection. ASUINGTON, Feb. 15.—The light for the Williamsport postollice is at | last settled. Congressman Mc ! Coimiek to-day decided to l'ecom-. \ mend the appointment of John li. Emery. Mr. McCormick lias reach 'ed this decision after 110 little dif | liculty, and says that while theie I must necessarily be some member of ■ the party disappointed, yet he lells j certain that the appointment will ' give very general satisfaction. lie i selected Mr. Emery he says "because 'he is a prominent and successful j business man, who will give the i city a good administration, because |hois a leading man in the G. A. R., - and carried a musket during the j war, because he was lor many jeais Chairman of the Republican Coun ty Committee, and because he is a young man with every capacity. As to his endorsements, they were of the best. I could not have asked for more." "011 the whole," said Mr. McCormick, in conclusion,, "1 regard the selection as above criti cism."
