An idea evidently prevails among many persons who have not seen rue revised form of ballot that stickers can be used on the ballot to paste over any name printed the icon. This is wrong. None of tho officially printed names can be erased, crossed out or pasted over. Stickers may be used, but they cau be legally placed only in the blank spaces in tho last column of the b:ulot left for that purpose, and not over another name. In these blank spaces the voter may insert any name he pleases, either by means of a sticker, by writing or by stamp ing. The people have no fear but that Mr. Huckell will vote for»the equali zation of tax. While 011 the other hand Mr. Lull is held in doubt and their is ample reason for a suspicion, lie holds a lucrative position for the great Reading gigantic coipora tion and should he do otherwise than their request his services will be postponed. Josh is sharp and shrewd and don't mean to fall a prey to the little folks of Sullivan. Mark our word, Josh Lull will never vote to tax the Railroad Companies, should he be elected. Thomas Pottroiny a mason on the railroad and who will be remembered as the harp player, met with a pain ful accident on Thursday of last week. He was working about the derrick near the tannery school house when something about the) windlass broke. Tom hail a firm hold of a rope attached to the machine at the time and was hauled twenty feet in the air. The rope pulled through his grip and burnt and wore the flesh off from his hands in a frightiul manner. Dr. Hill did up the wound and Tom is doing as well as could be expected. The harp, however, is hung 011 a weep ing willow tree. Thos. Maliaffey who is seeking the election of Sheriff of Sullivan county aiul who was put up by one or two bosses, called on Nathan Persun, tax collector of Dushore boro. for 1891 and paid his twenty five cents county tax for that year, the other day. The farmers of Sullivan county like Tlios. Simmons paid their taxes tor 1891 last October. This tax receipt, how ever, will give Mr. Maliaffey the light to vote this fall. After the payment and 011 Mr. Mahuffey's absence, it was remarked by the col lector that, that was the first money he had received from the Maliaffey family in the way of taxes. Elmer Skyman, general superin tendent of the LaPortu Hotel barn, sheds etc., met with a sad and most painful accident while sight seeing along the line of the railroad on Saturday morning The accident might not have happened some peo ple, but Blaym:.n went down to sight-see and felt duty bound to take it all in. This is the way it happened A heavy blast was set oil in the rock cut near the dam cf Luke Mokoma. These stones go up very high and make a fine sight ns thoy drop into the lake. The water splashes high in the air like a foun tain. Well, Mr. Slawnan bad his eyes on this sight when a stone of good size came down "liana" ou the visitors delicate foot. He jumped. It hurt. —» t Jame? Cunningham formerly of tlie firm of Cunningham & Cole of Dushore, is a natural genius, lie has got OMt several patents, but the last one takes the cake. It is called the"American Steam Kettle,'' and is simply constructed, but you know those are tl e kind that 6ell best. The kettle is made of American tin, and the bottom part is much smaller than the lid of the stove, a rim near ly the depth of the kettle is soldered on the out side Mid a space of an inch and a half is left between the two, hence, the fire blades up be tween and your potatoes are made to boil iu four minutes. There are several other good qualities about the concern, but we haven't time to tell on. Just call 011, or write Charley Zupar, Dushore, Pa., he is general agent for the"Ameri can Steam Kettle" and learn all about it. It is a hurry up dinnei concern and every woman ought to have one. Honey bees can outfly the swiftest pigeons A wager was made at Brudiord to test the matter. Jere miah Williamson took six honey bees and three carrier pigeons two miles from home. He rolled the bees in flower to mark them, and then all were libeiated. The bees reached their hive a quarter of a minute before the first pigeon a liglited upon the dove cote. Vote for D. T. Huckell the people's candidate for Member. Mr. and Mr*. N. C. Maben'i Infant Child Nearly Killed by a Runaway Team. N. 0. Sebring who drives Judge Ingham's team was engaged in picking apples in the orchard at the upper end of town on Thursday. He had tied the horses to a tree when one cf the animals, a colt, slipped the bridle. This is sup posed to hare frightened the team and both horses struck pell mell across the field and running a stride of an apple tree smashed the wagon in several pieces and loosened them selves from the same. The colt ran down Cherry and King streets to Main and thence to Muncy to Dun ham's corner where it turned togo up toward the Mountain House barn. Mrs. Maben was wheeling her child in a baby carriage, and was on this crossing opposite Dun ham's house, when she observed the horse. She snatched the child from the vehicle and run and had only got about 10 or 12 feet from the carriage when the horse came along. Straps of the broken harness were flying in every direction and one fastened onto the carriage and the animal dragged it a distance of two hundred feet. It surely was a very close call. A business man ami a good busi ness man of Dushore, was over to LaPorte the other day and in a political conversation said—''he was a Democrat, but that lie did not be lieve the Democrats did what was best for their party in selecting their nominees at the convention, lie further said that he had given Mr. Mahaffey numerous papers to serve and notwithstanding the fact that he, Mahalfey had done business in the Sheriff and Constable's office for the past 10 or 12 years, was ignorant of how to proceed with the papers and would guess aud was most apt to guess wrong. lie further said that he believed the of fice should be given to an older resident and to one whom it would do some good. He cited the fact that Mr. Mahaffey had been given the office of Sheriff of Lycoming county and that ho believed it was the salary of this office that caused dissipation in his family." This coming from a man and a Demo crat, who has done business with Mr. Mahaffey for the past ten years, will no doubt have much weigh with the Sullivan county voter. One glance at, the true facts of the matter ought to convince us that Mr. Mahaffey is not the proper per son to elect to this office. Mr. Ma haffey was placed in nomination by the assistance of one or two ling bosses, hence, the party is under no obligations to give him their sup port. But few Sullivan county Democrats would have taken the nomination under similar circutn- stances The horse racing at Dusbure last week was very good. The receipts at the gate figured high—a good part of it was given away in prizes, however. This speaks well for the managers of the Park, as it proves the enterprise is not a money bag scheme. "Barber" the La Porte run ning horse won the first beat on fhursdax in 1:05. He lost the second and third however, which was won bv "Lady L glit Foot" of L"pez and owned by Martin Brown. The best lime made b> "Light Foot" was 110, hence you will perceive that "Parber" inade tlie distance in live seconds less than Light Foot. Had' Barber' been trained for the occasion he would have continued his speed and won easily. ''Qrover Cleveland," a pony owned by (J. E. Jackson of Bernice, was entered in the race, but he was nt in it and Charley ought to have had more re spect for the Deraogratio nominee than to have called it "Urover." Mr. and Mrs. A. A Collins, of Forksville, mourn the loss of their youngest son, Jesse, a young man about 21 years of age. 110 was taken sic't about two months ago, with malignant malarial lever. The progress of the disease was not rapid, and he was confined to the bed only three weeks. The de ceased was a young man of great promise and his untimely death is a severe blow to his parents and brother and sinter. He wan a faith ful mem tier of the M. E church and a young man of Christian character. He was a graduate of the Forks vide school, class of '9l, and last winter taught a successful term of school in HillsQrove twp. The funeral was held last Friday and the business places and schools were closed as a mark of respect. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. P. K. Pittman his former pastor. His death has cast a gloom over the entire community and the sincerest sympathy of all is extended to the afflicted family in their hour of bereavement. Lilt of Qrand Jurors Drawn for Deo.

Mad Dog on Chestnut Street. Pit I l adel I'll ia , Oct. 16 A sensa tiou was created on Chestnut street at 7:30 o'clock to-night by a mad dog, which bit a dozen people. The canine, a diminutive, yellow cur, started from Third and Chestnut streets and ran up in the middle of the latter thoroughfare for several squares. When it took the pave ment, people rushed hither and tliilher to give the rabid animal a clear course. At Sixth street the dog attacked an unknown Russan girl ol about 12 years, but her cloihiug is thought to have pre vented her from injury. At Seventh street, John Boyd could not get out of the way of the frothing canine and was severely bitten. At Eighth street William LI. Bonner, Dr. F. B. Hazel, L. Meyers and Charles H. Ehinger wero all attacked and more or less severely bitten. Re serve officer Jones then gave chase, and at Ninth street stunned the animal by a blow on the head with his cane. He ended its career by smashing its skull with his black jack. Six or seven other persons whose names cannot be learned >»ere also bitten, but so far as known none ot the victims were taken to any hospital. It is said, that on the completion of the W. & N.
