THE REPUBLICAN. FKIPAY, APRIL 81. 1893- The streets are dusty. The weather is changeable. A. J. Ettinger moved to Dushore on Monday. Arbutus hunters will soon be scour ing the mountaiu sides. Everybody hails with delight the gentle zephyrs of spring. To-day, Thursday, is pay day on the W. <fc N. B. railroad. The farmers in this section are busy repairing their fences. Sunday, with the exception of a little windy, was a beautiful day. Hotel Kennedy will g' ve a trout supper and dance in the near future. R. W. Bennett, ol the 'Mere, was doing business at Laporte Monday. Mrs. W. M. Cheney was visiting fribnds in Towanda Saturday and Sunday. Joseph Middendorf, ot Dushore, was doing business at the county seat Monday. • Our people say they are going to take the train at Laportc when they leave for Chicago. There is one thing that no man, is too proud to do—ask his neighbor for a chew of tobacco. H. Cassell, the watch repairer, is doing a good business and his work is giving good satisfaction. Two Italians, accompanied by a large cinnamon bear, was in town Friday. They amused the little ones. President Lincoln was assinated in Ford's Theatre, at Washington, twenty-eight years ago last Thurs day, April 14. Rev. W. A. Lepley of Muncy Valley, will hold services in the M. E. church at Laporte, ou Sunday April 23d, at 11 A. M. A. A. Baker, of Laporte, town ship, caught seventy-six trout on Saturday, the first day of the sea son. Who can beat it ? People who are anxious for a change of climate should come to Laporte. We have a change every twenty-four hours. During the past month we have ordered two quires of paper added to our bundle. Fifty new sub scribers a month is a pretty good showing. Mr. John Paulhamus and family, formerly ol Cogan Station, Lycom ing county, recently moved to Ti voli, Mr. Paulhamus was anxious to reside nearer his work. Attorney E. M. Dunham and Al phonsus Walsh, both of Laporte, were present at the assignee sale of real estate of John G. and Geo. C. Wright at Forksville on Tuesday. The seventy-fifth anniversary of the order of Odd Fellows in this state will be held at Muncy, on Wed nesday the 26 inst. It will be the occasion of quite a large gathering. Frank Maynard has partly made up his mind to place several turning lathes in the old saw mill and manu facture hubs, broom handles, etc., hence the industry will give employ ment the year round. H. Green, returned from "Washington, D. C., on Wednesday of last week. John's sojourn in Washington during the past three or four months has improved his health quite noticeable. Correspondents will please sign their name to letters for publication in this paper, otherwise they will be thrown in the waste basket. We trust you will comply with our request in the future. Wc turned out about fifteen dol lars worth of job work last week. The REPUBLICAN is the office to call on when desirious of first-class work. We have the best job printer in the county and will wager our last year's straw hat on it A car loaded with coal and miners' tools was shipped from Pottsville to Chicago for exhibition at the World's Fair. There were 163 boxes of coal in the shipment, and all the tools and implements used by miners in removing the coal. A. J. Bradley, who ia studying law with Attorney E. M. Dunham, was doing business at the county seat Tuesday. Jack finished his term of school at Sonestown on Thursday last, and will spend the summer at Laporte reading Black- Stone. TJw Rwcsmcap, 0«ly 11,00 a year. The preliminary skirmish over Home Rule is about over. With the return of Balfour and Gladstone to the floor of the House, the real battle will begin. It wid be a bat tle royal. The result depends not a little upon the physical endurance of Gladstone. The men doing the excavating in Boss Park are pushing the work with four teams and scrapers. Recently they turned up two tomb stones, and this morning they uncovered two skulls. A. E. Page & Brother, undertakers, are to take charge of the remains when they are exposed. Times, April 15. The Old Liberty Bell which is to be sent from Philadelphia to the World's Fair at Chicago will pass through Williamsport about the 25th inst. The train on which it will be transported will make a stop of two hours at Williamsport, when hundreds of sightseers will take a look at the old relic. The Post-Office inspector in the postal guide for February says; Dauphin county coutaines fifty-one Post-Offices, eleven of which are graded as "excellent." Lancaster county has 198 Post-Offices and sixteen are marked "excellent." Lebanon county has thirty-nine Post- Offices and four are "excellent." Rats can be driven out ®f any house by depriving them of water. They can almost live indefinately without food and when hard pushed will not hesitate to eat each but no rat can go tweny-four hours without a drink, and if every possible means of obtaining water is taken from them, they will desert the vicin ity. The Elmira Advertiser's Waverly correspondent says that the records show that there were 222 marriages performed in that village during the year ending April 1. Of these 201 were from Pennsylvania. At an aver age of $5 for each of these marriages this would mean SIOOO of Pennsyl vania money in the hands of Waverly ministers. Attorney E. M. Dunham has been exceedingly busy for the past two weeks at the Prothonotary's office, looking up the brief and title of timbered land owned by Hoyt Bros., and James McFarlane & Co., tan ners, who contemplate entering the tanning trust now being organized throughout the states of Pennsyl vania and New York. County Superintendent Moses E. Black, refused to insert the notice to the school directors, of their con vention on the 2d day of May, in the REPUBLICAN, but gave it to the other two county papers. Should Moses aspire for the honors of governor, congressman, senator or member in the future, he of course will expect them to return the compliment. On Tuesday, May 2d, 1893, the convention of school directors, for thiß county, will assemble at the Court House, in this place, for the purpose of electing a County Superintendent of our common schools for the ensueing three years. The candidates, so far as we have heard, are: Prof. F. W. Meylert, of Forksville, and Prof. M. C. Miller, of Dushore. James Cunningham, the hardware merchant, of Dushore, will place on exhibition at the World's Fair, his great American Steamless Kettle and Farmer's Friend Outfit. So far as we have learned these arc the only ex hibits that will go from Sullivan county to Chicago. Jim will arrange to take orders on the ground, and the supposition is—he will do a lively business. The REPUBLICAN wishes him success. All companies engaged in the manufacture of rubber boots and shoes have combined and formeel a rubber trust and have advanced the price of all their goods to such an extent that all retail dealers have been compelled to make a consider able advance in the price of such goods. The sole leather tanneries arc also forming a trust, when they have completed this organization we may look for an advance in prices of boots and shoes. The people of Eagles Mere are very much elated over the new drive way now being graded around the lake. This enterprise, like the W. & N. B. R. R. through Laporte, had been maped out on paper a great many times during the past years, and now that it has come, the people of the 'Mere have a right to wave the bandanna. We understand that Ithe park will be made perfectly level and sixty feet in width, and that several trots will take place thereon during tbe coning summer, Charles Lauer, of Laportc, shot and killed an eagle at Lake Makoma on Thursday afternoon last. He was in a boat when the bird flew over at close range, and at the re port of the gun down came the mon ger striking in the water close by his boat. The bird was riot killed outright, and when Charley at tempted to land it in the boat be re ceived a warm reception. The eagle clinched his fingers in its claws as firm as a vice, and it was sometime before he with Mr. Conklin's assis tance, could get it lose. The wings measured nearly six feet from tip to tip. The members of the legislature seem to be having a high old time just now. The Harrisburg Patriot thus describes how a part of Fri day was spent in the house. It says : "Members hurled paper balls and books at each other, pounded upon their desks, yelled like Comanche Indians, run up and down the aisles and did everything but that which is expected of them by their constit uents. Mr. Tewksbur}', of Colum bia, was in the chair and hard as he tried he could not preserve order." It is such men that make the laws of Pennsylvania. Fishermen arc just now interested over a proposition to stock the Che mung and Susquehanna rivers with German trout, says the Binghamton Herald , a species of the finny tribe which grow to weigh ten or twelve pounds each. The State fish hatch eries introduced this specices ol trout into this State four years ago, and they thrive and grow rapidly in small streams. They arc said to be as gamey as black trout, and make better angling, owing to their size. In two years from the time they are placed in the stream thej- will aver age two and one-half pounds each. 'L'hey multiply rapidly, and ave not preyed on by other fish, so that in a few years a stream stocked with them beepmes an anglers paradise. On Wednesday the 2Gth of April the Odd Fellows' Anniversary is to be held at Muncy, and if there are fifty persous from Nordmont and Sonestown combined, who desire to remain in Muncy for the evening services the W. & N. B. railroad will run a special leaving Muncy about 9 o'clock, after the close of the meeting and run to Nordmont, making the fare for the round trip SI.OO. Members of the Laportc Lodge who desire to attend this meeting will please notify this office by Saturday evening, when we will notify Mr. Welch the total number of this section desirous of attending. Rev. Ragbir.tlie hindoo missioner, did not goto Laporte from here, considering tlic weather to inclement for a tropic bred per son, besides objecting strongly to u nine mile stage ride. With the completion of the railroad the county seat will be able to see a great deal more of the outside world. —Dushore Review. Of the latter prediction we would state that the people here take but little stock in Blatherskite, whether his suggestions be good or bad. We come to this conclusion from the fact that only a half dozen or so of Laporte people take the lieview and they a; - e mostly "deadheads." Our people acknowledge the fact that the jawbone of an ass is not as powerful these days as it was during Samp son's career, when lie slayed a thou sand men with an instrument of that specie. With the completion of the road down Loyal Sock by October Ist, we will guarantee the officers of the Sullivan County Agricultural Society a large representation from this sec tion, at the County Fair. The peo ple up here ask—"Will it be neces sary to haul those Forks township people over the coals again before the public can have their rights ?" If so, ignite the coals. The people here and in the Western part of the county have a right to ask a respect able thoroughfare between the two places. We have driven a cow path long enough, and it matters not on what township the bulk of the ex pense of the grading of the road falls. It is the law that each town ship shall grade their respective parts. In this case, perhaps the larger portion of the road does lay 1 in Forks township, but who is to blame for that ? The season for picnics and ex cursions is fast approaching. With the completion of the W. <fc N. B. to Lake Makoma, we can expect thous ands of people to visit us during the excursion season of the year. La porte will be quite renown for ex cursionists from Ilarrisburg, Sha mokin, Milton, Sunbury and Wil liamsport. It would be hard to find a prettier place for an outing of this kind, than the banks of Lake Ma koma, and the groves surrounding them. We understand that the offi cials of the railroad will have con - structed several switches at Luke Makoina, for the express purpose of standing cars, übed on these occa sions, hence the railroad officials con template much business in this di rection. Lnporte will be the busiest and the metropolis of the county during this season of the year, when wo invite our neighbor Dushore friends to come over.and see some of the outside world. The people of Columbia county are dissatisfied with the appoint ment of the new postmaster at Ccn« tralia. Here is what the Blooms burg Sentinel has to say about it: "The more we hear about the ap pointment of Barney J. Doyle as postmaster of Centralia the more we are convinced that a great wrong has been perpetrated upon the pub lic. In enumerating the qualification necessary for that position we fail to recognize the fact that Mr. Doyle possesses a single one, entirely un qualified to perform the duties of the oilice. In Cleveland's former administration D. F. Curry, an hon orably discharged union soldier "and well qualified for the position, filled this ofiice and with credit, too, and as we understand equally as good ma terial could again been had from among the citizens of Centralia. We cannot understand what motive could have induced the Postoflice Department to appoint B. J. Doyle. Mr. Doyle represents everything vicious in our politics, a leader of the most dangerous element, noth ing too desperate that ha would not undertake to carry out the wishes of those who procure his assistance believes in, and thrives by his pecu liar politics. The democracy of this county believes in honorable, straightforward and upright public ollicials, and are opposed to reward ing with public trusts those who represent everything that is vicious in our politics, besides being entirely incompetent to perform the the duties of this responsible place." James McFarlane & Co Laporte, Penna. Will sell at public sale on THURS DAY APRIL 27, 1893, their entire stock of blooded cattle. P. 8. —Those of our farmers who desire a good cow should attend this sale. WASHINGTON April 14.—The an nouncement of the hauling down of the American llag in Hawaii and the withdrawal of the United States Marines under instructions to Com missioner Blount is construed by the Republican Senators and tbeir friends as not only unfriendly to the aggressive policy established by the late administration, but they are fearful it means an abandonment of the scheme of anncxatian. The State Department authorities as well as the Democratic members of the Foreign Relations Committee, understand the attitude of President Cleveland, emphatically deny that this is a step backward or that it has any bearing upon the future policy of the administration. To Count the Money. WASHINGTON, April 15.—A com mittee of clerks in the treasury has been appointed to count the money in the vaults of the compt-oller of the currency preparator 1 J turning the oflice over to the new comptroller, J. 11. Eckels. The iucomplote na tional bank notes to be counted ag gregate about §42,500,000, besides other money and securities. Hotel Changes, J. W. Perry, D. L. ]lusted and W. F. Stohner, all of Sugarloaf, were early arrivals in town this morning. They have business at oourt. Quite a change in the hotel business has taken place up there. Mr. Husted takes Perry's place, known as the sportsmen's headquarters, at Elk Grove, and Perry takes E. P. Albert son's hotel at Central.

Many who would like to visit the World's Fair are not thoroughly ac quainted with Chicago, and will not know where to go—and will be pretty sure to pay two or three prices for a place to stay, and get into poor and often questionable quarters. W. D- Boyce, the publisher of the Saturday Blade and Chicago Ledger, now issues a certificate to every annual sub scriber of either of these papers, which entitles the subscriber to apply at the oflice of the Blade and Ledger. 115-117 Fifth Avenue, Chicago any hour of the day or uiglit, week day or Sunday, during the World,B Fair, and there be placed in the hands of an employee of the oflice, who will locate the subscriber in a good private family or hotel, at whatever price said subscriber wishes to pay.
