It is rather expensive to keep a

The Teachers' Association held at
Dushore last Friday and Saturday
was a success in every respect. The

Petitions have been circulated and
forwarded to the department asking

Hills Grove mail route to Forksville.

would very much improve the pres
ent mail facilities of the western por

There are several dwellings in our
town on which the boards used by
the mechanics for shingling the

the future, is, to "pull them down."
The man whom the Farmers' Al
liance elected Judge in Kansas Ju

they are running that Judicial dis
trict, it will likely have to go.
That Democratic ox-roast which
was to come off at Dushore to-day-
Thursday, has been postponed for
various reasons. The most essential
of all is, the democrats of that sec
tion are willing to share the Patti
son victory with the Independent
Republican voter and for fear of of
fending this weak minded popula
tion of our county, have given up
( the jolification.
J. W. Troxy and p. F.* Krause,
both of Mauch Chunk and employees
of the L. V. railroad, were in town
last week. They were equiped with
a barometor giving them the heights
aud degrees of the country in which
they were traveling also a milage
guage. They were on their way down
Loyal Sock from Lopez to Will
iamsport. What the result of their
explore may terminate, in the future,
remains to be seen.
The holidays will soon bo here.
The country merchants are making
preparations for a large harvest
about that time.
We stat6<t in a recent issue that
the contract for erection of the poles
for the telephone line from Forks
ville to Muncv Valley had been let
to W. E. Miller of Forksville for
$143. The amount should have
been stated $243. The people of
Forksville and vicinity have raised
this amount by subscription. The
W. &N. B. R. R. Co., put on the
wire and own the line. Forksville
will soon be on "speaking terms"
with neighboring towns.
Wm. P. Drinkliouse representing
the Brad Street Mercantile Agency
of Philadelphia, was registered at
the LaPorte Hotel, on Monday.
Mr. D. is quite interested in poli
tics and is a Republican. We asked
him the question, why Republicans
of the Quaker City were so i:ithusi
astic over Pattison, and he remai ned
that one man bossism would not be
tolerated in the city of Philadelphia
and the sooner the bosses fc".r>d it
out the better for the party. The
Republican club of which Mr.
Drinkliouse is a member, all voted
Pattison together with many others
of the city and this is why a Demo
cratic victory.

The story that was circulated
hereabouts, last, week and created
much sensation to the etleet that
Elish Allen his brother and two
other boys were guilty of the murder
of old Mr. Crouse of Lairdsrille,
some time since, is said to be un.
founded and untrue. Our Lycom
ing county exchanges, all contra
dict the story and s:iy that it is false
from beginning to end. Allen, who
is only a boy, resided with bis father
at LuPorte some two or three years
past, hence the story created much
more excitement here thau it would
have otherwise.
11. W. Meylert and wife of Suscu
vi lie, Lassen county, California, will
visit their parents Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Meylert of LaPorte, on or
about the first of December. How
ard settled in California in 1882 and
lias not been home since that time.
He engaged with his uncle, Ger
trude Meylert, as head clerk m his
large store at Susenville, and short
ly after he had become a resident
of said place was appointed post
muster and in 1887 was elected coun
ty Treasurer. At the recent elec
tion be was re-elected Treasurer and
is now serving his second term.
Howard's many friends of old Sulli
van, will be pleased to see him.
Now that our Democratic friends
have stopped yelling long enough to
hear, will some of them kindly in
form us what possible use their
party can make of the victory it has
obtained over the Republican party
by a skillful combination of all the
elements of opposition, including
the Republican sore heads, and a
liberal expenditure of money among
the "floaters ?" With its two-thirds
of the House of Representatives, the
Democratic part}" cannot repeal a
single law now upon our statute
books, nor can it enact a law unless
it meets with the approval of a Re
publican Senate and a Republican
President. These facts seem to be
over-looked by the too jubilant
Democrats.
The democrats of Dushore pro
pose to celebrate the well earned
victory of the lato election this
(Thursday) and have issued posters
to this effect. That's right. A
party who has lived so mauy long
years on the empty husks of ex
pectancy have reason to eDjoy once
the fruits of realization. Go in and
have a good time and make it a
loud one. Victory comes so seldom
it ought to be celebrated.
LATTER. — The celebration has
been postponed indefiuately. Too
i bad.
A bill of exceptions has been en
tered to the report ot the Master by
the defendant in the case of the
Williamsport and North Branch
Railroad company against the Phila
delphia and Erie company. Thns
another legal step has been taken in
the controversy as to the rights of
the two companies in the matter of
the proposed crossing in the eastern
part of the city. The Supreme
Court will have the final say in this
interesting dispute — Gazette and
Bulletin.

Squire Brink of Eagles Mere, had
business at the county seat on Thurs
day last and early in the morning
shouldered his gun saying to his
family that he would take a hunt on
his way over and if he finished his
business as early as he anticipated
in the day, he would continue his
hunt on his way back to the 'Mere.
This was all right and the family
did not think anything about it, but
when 8 o'clock p. m. came and Mr.
Blink did not putin an appearance,
then something was wrong. The
family notified their neighbors of
the absence of Mr. B. and it was
generally thought that he had be
come bewildered and lost in the
forest. The neighbors, about ten in
number stationed themselves on
Glass Hill and fired muskets, repeat
ers and revolvers that the old gentle
man might catch on and groop his
way back to his family. All
this was going on when John Au
miller who had visited LaPorte that
day drove up 'Mere ave. and on his
kit sat perched high in the air the
dignified and lost Squire, who had
remained at I.al'orte until 8 o'clock
for a free pass on John's buss. The
neighbors pulled in their horns and
the family ceased their sobbing, while
the Squire enjoyed a hearty laugh.
The Volley Reaching Out.
J A. Beeber of Philadelphia the
master appointed in the suit of the
Williamsport & North Branch R. R.
Co., against the Philadelphia <fc Erie
11. R. Co.. has filed his opinion in
favor of the former company. This
action of law grew out of the efforts
made by the Pennsylvania to im
pede the progress of the Williams
port «fc North Branch R. R.. to
bring into Williamsport the Lehigh
Valley R. 11. Co., and the fact that
the master decides in lavor of the
plaintiff indicates that the efforts of
the Pennsylvania to keep the Le
high Valley out of the city will not
be successful. The Williamsport
and North Branch people are feeling
very good over the result. They
anticipate that the Lehigh Valley
will enter the city over their line at
an early date.— Towandu Review.
A Frighiful Experience.
Edward Smith, a young telegraph
operator of New York, had a fright
ful experience on the Mountain
Saturday night, near Wilkes-Barre.
The. Central Railroad of New Jersey
runs its trains through a tunnel in
the mountain, and on the east side
of the tunnel is a telegragh office.
The place is so lonely that it is a
hard matter to keep an operator
there. Young Smith accepted the
olaee last Monday. At midnight
Saturday night the usual quiet was
broken by terrible yells, and Smith,
looking out, saw his shanty sur
rounded by bears, wildcats and other
wild beasts. The wildcats dashed
against the window and Smith
fought them with a red-hot poker,
while the bears climbed on the roof
Smith telegraphed in haste to White
Haven, and Operator McAndrews
responded by sending down an en
gine and a number of section hands
At the approach of the engine the
wildcats fled. Subsequently two
large wildcats were killed. Smith
said he would not spend another
night in the place for a fortune, and
when the next tiain came along for
►New York he boarded it.
