cate is having the work done and
hope to have the drive completed by

guests of the 'Mere much pleasure
and will have a tendency to induce
the cottage owners to bring fast
horses to the mountain, as they will
have a chance to test their speed.
The homely proverb that we never
miss the water till the well rims dry,
finds an illustration in the partial
failure of this year's fruit crop.
Even the failure of the peach crop,
bad as it is, is not to be compared
to the scarcity of apples, the effect
of wh'ch will be felt in almost every
household. Neither is there any
foreign field from which supplies
may be drawn. Wo must bear the
deprivation as best we may.
Railroad is the chief conversation
at the 'Mere these days. The peo
ple there are told that a narrow

very hopeful of the railroad being
completed to the count}' seat and
have quite freely discussed the same
with but little satisfaction, our
neighbor town will now join in the
I chorits.

pleasure and I hereby forbid any

VV. A. BROWN.
Montoursville. Lycoming county,
Pa., Sept. Bth, 1890.
We shall take pleasure in an
nouncing the defeat of the Independ
ent ticket of Bradford county, on
the fith, of November. According
to all accounts the article could,
withcuit liesitency, be written and
putin type a week or a month be
fore the 6th, leaving blank the ma
jority that condemned the move
ment until put to use. There are
too many true and loyal Republicans
in Bradford county to permit an
Independent ticket to be elected in
that vicinity.
Voters, remember Saturday,
October 4th, is the Inst day for pay
ment of taxes. To be qualified to
vote, each elector, if twenty-two
years old and upwards, must have
paid a State or county tax within
two years, and at least one month
prior to the election. Electors
voting ou age need not pay a t'»x.
Saturday, October 4th, is also the
last day for naturalization, and natur
alized, as well as native born citi
zens, must pay a tax in order to be
qualified to vote.
Josh Lull of Bernice, was con
suiting his LaPorte friends, on .Sun
day, in relation to his chances of
securing Ihe nomination for Senator
of this district. The conference will
take place at Williamsport on Oct. 2.
Mr. Lull according to a vote of the
recent Democratic convention, was
permitted to select his own dele
gates and has named the following,
viz : Jerry Deegan, of Lopez and
John Finan, of Dushore. Mr. Lull
feels very hopeful of receiving the
honors, we sincerely trust that he
will not be disappointed.
A contract was signed in New
York last week between John L.
Sullivan, Duncan B. Harrison and
Jack Barnett, on one hand, and i.
C. Williamson, the Australian mana
ger, on the other, by which the first
named three agree to place them
selves under the latter's manage
ment during a tour through Aus
tralia and England. A new play is
to be written for Sullivan and Har
rison. Twenty-four weeks will be
spent in Austrlia and the Colonies,
and twenty-six in England. They
will leave San Francisco on July Ist
next.
It useless to say that the two
yonng Germans who BO suddenly
and with such accuracy killed them
selves simultaneously in New York
last week should not have been so
rash. The fact seems to be that the
fool-killer was needed, and not being
on hand when wanted, the fools per
formed the work themselves. This
dying for love mania is growing too
monotonous, but it is something of
a consolation that the majority of
those who are affected with the
mania make successes of the job.
Bungling work has made it possible
for the doctors to save too many.
Pro. F. W, Meylert of La Porte
and Miss Ilosa Miller of Middle
town, N. Y., were married at the
home of Mr. and Mrs A. H. Ayres
of Middletown, on Tuesday last.
Mr. Meylert is a graduate of the
Mansfield, Normal, and for the past
years has served the people of
Forksville with honor, as principal
of their graded school. Miss Miller
who has hosts of friends in this
vicinity is a refined young lady and
leads in the Episcopal choir of Mid
dletown, of which she is a member.
Invitation cards, were extended to
their many relatives and large circle
of friends witnessed the matrimonial
services. A large number of beauti
ful and valuable presents were pre
sented the much admired couple.
Mr. and Mrs. Meylert will leave N.
Y., for LaPorte on this Thursday or
Friday whefe they will remain a
week or ton days when they will
take their departure for Forksville,
and on Monday Oct., Gth Mr. Mey
lert will take up his work as princi
pal of said school. The happy
couple has the best wishes of the
REPUBLICAN together with their
many friends in this vicinity. We
wish them prosperity, happiness and
a loving family.
To the Voters of Sullivan County.
Some reports have been circulated
that if I should be elected to the of
fice of county commissioner I would
favor the erection of an expensive
jail and other extravagant counly
expenditures; I deem it proper
therefore to state my opinion that
the finances of the county will not
warrant the erection of a new build
ing fur a jail at present, nor within
the next three years.
' It should be remembered that the
commissioners alone have no au_
thority to erect a new public build
ing; the approbation of two suc
cessive grand juries must first be
obtained. It is not likely that two
grand juries, each consisting of
twenty-four tax-payers taken from
all parts of the county, will recom
mend the erection of a new jail be
fore the mass of the tax-payers are
in favor of it. If elected I
will in all matte r .-i favor a just and
economical administration of county
affairs with a fixed purpose to re
duce the county taxes.
W. M. CHENEY.
The Republican State League con
vention convened in Philadelphia,!
on Tuesday. It was one of the'
largest like gatherings ever witnessed,
in the State of Pennsylvania.
Caught and Jailed.
J. B. Blue, agent for the Blooms-;
burg it Sullivan Hhilroad, at Orange. 1
vi lie, I'a, skipped the town last
Friday in a hired livery team. His
absence excited suspicion an i an
investigation resulted in finding his
accounts short £SOO, besides having
appropriated an express package
containing a like amount. Detec
tives were placed upon his tracts
and he was caught at Canesvillc,
Sullivan county, where he had stop
ped for the night. He was out of
; bed and brought back to Blooins
burg, and placed in jail to await
trial on the charge of embezzlement.
The affair created a big stir in the
social circles of Orailgeville, as
Blue Is well connected and was look
ed upon as an exemplary man and
well fitted for positions of trust.
He was quite prominent in the M. E.
Sunday school of that village, and
enjoyed the confidence and esteem
of the citizens generally.— Ex.
vass which Senator Delaniater is'
making is causing the esteemed
enemy a great deal of trouble. They
have reached tlie conclusion that it
will be a good idea for their candid
ate to stir around a little. Senator
Delaumter's canvass has been a most
effectivo one so far. He is clear'
headed and earnest, and has a way
of saying something to lit the oc
casion. besides having an agreeable
presence and a taking manner, which
is remarked by all who meet him.
Those who keenly observe the
political drift have not failed to see
the Republican candidate lias steadi
ly grown in popular favor. That
this will continue from day today
during the remainder of the cam
paign there is not the shadow of a
doubt, and that means that his ma
jority will be overwhelming.
"Little Trixie," the funniest
comedy ever written will exhibit in
the LaPorte Hall, on Monday and
Tuesday evenings Sept. 29, 30, un
der the management of llohbins
Russell. This show is spoken of
very highly by the Press and prom
ises to be one of the best ever wit
nessed in our hall.
This is what the Milton Jiecord
has to say about the entertainment:
"A large, appreciative and de
lighted audience filled the Grand
Opera House Thursday night to
witness the admirable performance
of ltobbins k Russell's "Little
Trixie" Company. The entire audi
ence was kept in wrapt attention
and round after round of applause
followed as the play progressed.
Everybody present is unanimous in
saying that, it is the best musical
farce comedy ever presented upon
the Rtage in this city. May Smith
Robbins is a thorough artist in
every sense of the word and her
dancing alone is worth the price of
admission. Miss Russell possesses
a pure, sweet voice of much power
and did some fine singing. Of the
other members of the company sul
tice it to say they did their parts to
perfection anil caught the house by
storm."
JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS
Is a mutual exercise taken by a great many people, and, as is natural-,
they sometimes overleap the mark.
A CASE IN POINT:
A mail was looking at our suits a day or bo since. lie admired them,
thought them stylish and etc. But when be learnftd the price was only
$15.00 a suit, he said : '-THEY CAN'T HE ANY GOOD AT THAT
PRICE."' '• Why not ?" we said : "Well," he replied, "I never yet saw
a good suit as low as that." The man was reasoning from his experience
among high-price dealers. It's astonishing how these dealers have im-,
pressed the popular mind with the idea that nothing good enn he; hnd
below their figures. WE ARE HAVING TO FIGHT THIS PREJU-'
DICE, and we're doing it with deadly effect. When once the public
finds by actual test, that our $15.00 suit is the peer of any SIB.OO suit
they ever bought, good-b}'to Mr. High Price Our Sib.oo dollar suit
arc the wonder of the season to those who DO NOT JUMP AT CON
CLUSIONS-
