Indications point very strong to the fact that the children will be obliged to wade through mud and snow to their daily labors, this winter. Wi f ,h this necessity left undone the enterprise |is just about half completed and the school directors, half of whom sit in [the council chambers and make our ' onlinar.ces, are entitled to some cred jit while much has been left undone which is deemed a necessity by the 1 majority of our people, for the pre serving of the children's health. Hon. Uussel Kama and wife of ! Lt. I'orte, nret with a 'Severe accident | while on their way home from Ben ton, on Tuesday.

Walter Mosteller of LaPorte twp., who was arrested for larceny some two montha since and placed in the county jail awaiting a trial at this | December term escaped frorii jail on j the night of Nov. 20th. His es ! cape was made through the door of his cell by burning oft' the wood j work of the frame of the door and ■ filing oft the iron through which the j bolt entered, lie undoubtedly used ! the stove poker for burning the | wood-work as it remained in the stove in the morning. For filing the iron, it is the opinion of the public that he used the main spring of a watch made into a file. He poison ed Warden Chase's dog as he was found to be very sick the following morning. This we presume was done to prevent him from barking and arousing the inmates of the house. A sheet of paper was found on the table with cross bones, sculls and coftins pictured, and with writ ing to the elfect that whoever pur sued him and overtook him would meet with similar fate. This, how ever, did not have the desired effect of scaring our officials as they made every efiort to captdre him on Fri day but in vain. $75.00 has been offere 1 for the capture of Mosteller. The dis cription of said convict is as fol lows : About 5 feet 8 inches in " heights, weight, 145 pounds, light complexion, light hair, light mus tache, light eyes, iliient talker and 24 years of age.

LaPorte pupil take notice. That communication in the Du sliore Gazette last week commenting on the Prohi. election table of 1881) and 1890 as was given in the RE PUBLICAN in our issue of Nov. 14th, signed "Sullivan County Prohibition ist," was amusing in the extreme. The county' Prohibition vote of 1889 was 123 in 1890, 71, Prohi. claims that the large vote of 1889 was the result of promises made by those of the old party who took part in their "Forksville Convention" during that year and that the 71 votes of this year, is on solid basis and from this fall oft vote they will progress to success. It was our wish to make this arti cle short and had closed here, but j after reading Prohi's communica-j tion over the second time Have con-i eluded to say few words in refer ence to that "Forksville Convention"! of 1889. The facts of that event are as follows: Their organization was j visited by members of both the old parties and a 'tew of this class enter tained the body by addresses '&c. Among those who spoke upon this Occasion were Ex-county Chairman of' the Democratic Standing Committee, A. L. Grim Ksq. In his long ad dress he said that the Republican party were lambs dressed in wolves clothing while the Democratic party was the genuine article (wolves.) Mr. (irim's remarks were listened to with marked attention and after he had finished bis sayings, was follow* ed by 11. A. Conklin who made a few remarks After which it was: Re— solved that all present regardless of party principles who would agree to vote the State Prohi. ticket at the 1889 election might, have a voice in the Convention. This motion was carried and then it was left to the discretion of the voter as to wheth er he desired to accept of the invita tion or not. Mr. Grim was the first to volunteer and from him it went the rounds. We were the last and not wishing to be the only oppos ing vote in the Convention also vol unteered to vote (Johnson) at the Fall of 1889 election. This business being completed a motion was made as to whether it was advisable to place in nomination a full county Prohibition ticket. A vote was | taken and resulted in the negative I and the convention adjourned. Now Mr. Prohi. we have only 7 this to say in relerence to that gath ering, if there were any braihs minus there it was on your side of the house and the more you stirr it up the more ridiculous it makes you ap pear. This is all we shall say upon this Subject. James D. Gill the Prohibition can didate for Governor of Pennsylva nia received 16.175 votes, Johnson, for State Treasure in 1889. received 22,308. "Where, O! where are the votes of 1889 ?" Our theory of this tumble-down vote of the Prohi party at the recent election, is this, and we think that all unprejudice people will accept of it as a fair and jitst prediction, viz: In June 1889 the Prohibition Amend ment was voted upon in this State. The Amendment was lost by a large vote, which caused a certain faction in both the old parties, who were favorable to the prohibiting of the sale df liquor in our State, to be of fended. This faction still angered at the Nov. election of 1889 polled their Vote for Johnson, the Prohibi tion candidate for State Treasurer. Since the 1889 election they have seen their folly and have returned to the old parties, hence the tumble- down vote oi 6,133." A BAB ACCIDENT !
