THE REPUBLICAN. FRIDAY, JUNE, 2. 1893. Little chickens are numerous. The summer vacation is hfere. It pays to advertise in the RE PUBLICAN. The straw hat is coming into popular favor. Nature is now painted in its loveliest colors. As yet it is pretty cool to discard the underclothing. Philadelphia is going to celebrate on the 4th of July. Atty. F. T. Dempsey of Dushore, has a card in this issue of the RE PUBLICAN. Use plenty of lime about your premises. It is a cheap and good disinfectant. __ The cigar makers of Pennsylva nia will hold a convention in Read ing on June Bth. Fr. Mac of Dushore, held services in the second Ward school house, on Sunday morning. The time table of the W- & N. B. R. R., published in the REPUBLICAN, is correct to the minute. The late Spring is an evidence that the Ground Hog and early Easter theories are fizzles. A trout 15£ inches in length, was caught out of the James Gauscl trout pond, one day last week. Prof. F. W. Meylert and wife of Forksville, spent the early part of the week with friends at Laporte. Mrs. Eugene Ward and Miss Clara Ballard of Laporte, were shop ping in Williamsport on Wednesday. WANTED.—Twenty good carpenters on Williamsport and North Branch Rail road, to work on trestling. Wages $2.00 per day. Inquire at Laporte Hotel, La porte, Pa. FRANK MCGORVIN, Contractor. The farmers are once more happy and are taking advantage of the beautiful weather of the past few days. Mrs. TJ. S. Grant and Mrs. Jeffer son Davis, are spending the summer vacation at the same hotel in New port, R. I. There are 1,000 females and 900 males in the Norristown Asylum. Both sexes appear to be about equally crazy. Trout Gshing iu streams in this vicinity is almost a thing of the pasL The boys go down to Lake Mokoma. N. C. Sebring of Laporte, who has been visiting friends in Monroe county, for the past few weeks, re turned on Saturday. People who have relatives in Chi cago are now watching the mails for an invitation to come out and fctay till the Fair is over. Captain Newell didn't show up court week. Guess he apprehended the danger of meeting one of his fellow townsmen over here. We would be greatly obliged to any of our readers if they would hand In personals or other news from their respective localities. Harry Cassel the watch maker, says he did a good business last week. Wardie Hunsinger, the barber says he did likewise. Prof. Wiggins, the weather prophet, has retired, and will venture no more opinions as to prospective earthquakes, floods or cyclones. There is every indication of a large yield of fruit of all kinds in this section as the trees are covered with blossoms in great profusion. The Eagles Mere railroad com menced operation for the summer, last week. It requires warm weath er to put this enterprise in motion. The Y. W. C. T. U. will meet at the home of Miss Meylert, Friday evening June 2nd. A cordial in vitation is extended to all. LOTTIE MILLKTI, Sec'y. Going to the World's Fair is like building a house. You mav figure •11 you please on the probable ex pense, but it is bound to run way above the estimate. Clide Smith of Muncy, in company with C. Peale, the genial proprietor of the Allegheny Hotel, Eagles- Mere, made Laporte a visit the early part of last week. Hon. M. J. Lull, it is said, has taken a stand as to who shall be P. M. at Dushore. If this be so, Josh's political wire workings at Washington goes very slow. A Phcenixville girl has written the names of three lovers upon as many hens' eggs, upon which a faith ful chicken is now sitting. The young man who*e name is inscribed upon the egg that hatches first will get the girl's heart and hand. Mr. George Bodie of Bernice and Miss Carrie Shaffer of Laporte twp., were married at Sonestown, on Mon day by the Rev. Mr. Campbell. Mr. and Mrs. Bodie will reside at Bernice. F. P. Vincent is anxious to get rid of the Dushore post office, but it would appear that the new ad ministration knows of no better resident of the metropolis for the place. Mr. David B. Crossley of Benton, Columbia county and father of our townsman Mr. F. M. Crossley, is seriously ill and owing to his ad vanced age fears are entertained that he will not rocover. We erred in our last issue in stating that the crew of carpenters were at work on the King trestling of the W. & N. B. R. R. We should have said the Little trest ling. Frank Shaffer of Laporte, is visit ing friends at Muncy. Frank is a member of the Muncy G. A. R. Post, and assisted in decorating the graves of the fallen heroes in the Muncy cemetery, on Tuesday. A large number of court guests witnessed our press and engine in motion on Thursday last and said it was the only first class printing office they had ever visited. A number of the visitors were from the vicinity of Dushore. Don't worry over the cholera even though some one should discover a case during the summer, for medical authorities agree that the virulence of an epidemic may be increased by the element of fear in the public mind. Peddlers either on foot or by vehicle will bo compelled to pay a license hereafter, A bill to this ef fect was passed at a recent date. The tax imposed in the bill is as follows: SSO. annual license for foot peddlers, $l5O for one horse conveyance and j<2so for two horse wagon. Don't fool your time and money away with tho "green goods" men. These people are issuing new circu lars which read very interesting. Burn them up or forward them to the chief of police of some city, when you have looked them over. It might afford the officer some in formation of the whereabouts of the thieves. Judging from rumor there will be numerous candidates in the field seeking the nomination of County Treasurer, subject to the will of the Democratic Convention. At present A. L. Smith of Forksville, is the only candidate announced in the Democratic paper. Gus is a right good fellow and one of the best politicians on the Democratic side of the fence, and we predict that his opponents will have to rise early in the morning to do him up. LATER :—Messrs. Eobt. Stormont and J. H. Spencer, both of Laporte, are looking after the treusurship and bad their political cards inserted in the Democratic journal this week. An ANNiguDicut Hi Fostcrta. FOSTERIA, 0., May 28. T. N. Ports hardware company, in which ex-Secrctar}- Foster was interested, was forced to make an assignment late Saturday night for the benefit of his creditors, and Sheriff Berman came over on a late train and pro ceeded to Wood county to attach a farm of Mr. Ports. The farm con tains about forty acres and is lo cated in the oil belt and is a valu able property. Assignee Gorley says it will take at least a year to wind up the ex-Secretary's affairs. It is reported that Mr. Davidge of Jamison City, intends moving his hub factory to Potter county in the near future. Some time ago it was rumored that Mr. Davidge con templated moving his plant to La porte, but we understand that he could not secure satisfactory ar rangements for timber of parties own ing a larye percentage of the same in this vicinity, hence is compelled togo elsewhere. Mr. McCartney who is about to erect a large in dustry at Lopez, was prevented from locating at Laporte for this very reason. We predict that the next generation will observe La porte a busy little town. Too mauy dogs in the manger at the present date. Lancaster county is in a fearful state of affairs. A pest is among the people similar to a flea and was distributed in a section of the coun ty by the presence of an Indian, who was given lodging in a farmers barn. The plague is spreading and soon the entire county and adjoining counties will suffer the pests. The Bernics correspondent to the Benton Argus gives this as a remedy of freeing the house of the plague: "Pour Carbolic Acid on the floors of the rooms, and then close the doors and windows tightly for a few days and the house will be cleared of the pests." The correspondent sayß this is the remedy used in England, which proved a success. B. G. Welch Esq., general manager of the W &N. B. R. R., was in town oa railroad business, Wednes* day. The work of laying track on the extension of the W. &N. B. R. R.» at Satterficld, will be resumed to day, Friday. Among the new subscribers placed on our subscription book last week, were: S. P.

Those who called and renewed their subscription to the REPUBLI CAN, said it was by far the best paper published in the county and that they could not keep house without it. We assure our readers that these compliments are pleasiug to the editor. Are jou an old soldier and draw ing a pension ? If so we would call your attention to tlie voice of the Democratic press on the pension question. If you voted for Mr. Cleveland you deserve the medicine, although it may prove a very bitter [till before you get it down. The rank and file of Democracy expect to see the treasury filled to over flowing through the reduction of pensions, and some of them are ignorant enough to think that it will reduce their taxes or general ex penses, for they believe that they actually pay the pension. What tax does any Democrat pay that is not also paid by his Republican neighbor in like circumstances, or by the old soldier who gets a pen sion p The latter do uot complain ( of being forced to assist in paying pensions. But Democrats claim that they pay it on things they eat, drink and wear, because of the high tariff necessaiy to furnish the re quired amount of funds. This is most ridiculous. To begin with, teas, coffees and sugars arc on the free list. Then we come to wearing apparel—the most ridiculous of all. Every Democrat very truthfully says that this Government is paying more cash for pensions to-day than ever before in its history. Wo ask these same Democrats togo back with U3 to the close of the war, and tlieu trace the cost of every neces sary of life down to the present time. Where is one who can truth fully say that thcro has not been a steady fall in the prices of these necessaries all along the line ? If the cost of living has been gradually tailing and the amount of cash paid for pensions gradually increasing in all these years, will some good old "war-horse" from the Democratic ranks step forth and explain just at what time he is called upon to open his pocket-book to assist in paying pensions ? It seems after all that Rosenwig did the shooting which took the life of Jacob Marks, notwithstanding his published confession to the con trary. Wo suppose to keep up an apparent consistency with the testi mony given by him upon his trial for the murder of Marks, Isaac Rosenwig wrote a confession, which appeared in the REPUBLICAN last week, charging the shooting upon his confederate in crime—Harris Blank. But as the day of his doom drew nigh and more se.*i.ous thoughts orowded upon hit* mind he no doubt thought it would be better for him to tell the truth before it was too late. While the Rabbi from New York was here to give the con demned men spiritual consolation Roseuwig made up his mind to make a "clean breast" of the whole trans action which lod up to the murder of Marks, and he accordingly con fessed that while Blank and Marks were in a suftle over the possession of the jewelry box he slipped up and shot Marks down. This information was not material to show the guilt of either party, but to es tablish the truth as to which did the shooting it was quite important. Blank and Rosenwig were accom plices in the crime and so far as their guilt was concerned it matter ed not which did the shooting. Both would be held alike guilty under the law. No doubt in his ignorance Blank reasoned that be cause he did not do the shooting he was not guilty of the crime of murder and this perhaps is what led him to make the declaration as he was ascending the scaffold—"Before God and man I am not guilty,"— Ex, MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES. Interesting Eierelio at Both La- Porte and Sonestown. A finer day than last Tuesday could not have been had for the celebration of the exercises incident to Memorial Day. Very often the weather seriously interferes with the program and largely lessens the number in attendance, but this year everything was favorable and the exercises were largely attended and a pronounced success in every par ticular. The order of exercises as an nounced in the REPUBLICAN were carried out under' the direction of S. S. Simmons Post No. 477 G. A. R. About nine o'clock people be gan to arrive at the county seat and by 10 o'clock an unusually large con course had assembled. Upon the arrival of the drum corps and the delegation of Grand Army boys and citizens from Sonestown, the line of march was formed and proceeded to the M. E. church. After an ap propriate selection of music had been rendered the usual exercises by the members of the Post were gone through with. Commander Low then introduced the speaker of the day, Prof. F. W. Meylert. We are sorry that space prevents our giving Prof. Meylert's address in full as it would be well worth the perusal of all who were not fortunate enough to hear it. After a brief introduction showing the duty of every loyal citizen to participate in the exercises connected with Memori al Day, he showed how general the observance of the day bad become and how appropriate the character of floral offerings as the tribute of a grateful nation. He then reviewed the causes that led to the terrible struggle and gave a glowing record of the most important cam paigns of the war. Many interest ing incidents and deeds of heroism connected with the work of the union ariny were graphically pictured. The benefits that have come to the nation as the result of tlje war were touched upon. The address closed with a glowing tribute to the soldiers and fully showed the great debt of gratitude that as a nation and in dividuals we owe to the brave fol fowers ot the flag. After the address the decoration of graves was declared in order and all proceeded to Mountain Ash ceme tery where the graves of fallen comrades were strewn with flowers. The floral offerings were unusually fine. After the exercises at the cemetery were concluded the ranks were broken. Shortly after dinner, the notes of the fife and drum called the people togolher again and a large company proceeded to Sones town, where they arrived about 2:30 o'clock. At 3 o'clock the line of march was again resumed and a large concourse of people repaired to the M. E. church where, after music by the choir, and the usual exercises by the Post, a very ex cellent and able address was given by E. J. Mullen, Esq., of Du- .ore. Mr. Mullen spoke of the manner in which other nations expressed their gratitude to the soldiers who fell in defense of their country and of the great heroism displayed by Ameri cas soldiers wherever they had done service for their country. He paid a high tribute to the exalted character of American institutions, and to the gallant soldiers who had preserved and upheld them. After the address the march to the cemetery was taken up and the graves of the soldiers were decorat ed. This closed the exercises of the day and all went away feeling that the observance of Memorial Day had left impressions and les sons that would strengthen our loyalty for our country and increase the sentiment of patriotism in the hearts of our people. NOTES. The day was exceptionally fine. Mr. Newell formed a small part of the procession. They said about one fourth of the G. A. ft. members were absent. The G. A. R. boys recited and did their parts very nicely, indeed. The drum oorp« furnished good and appropriate music for the oc casion. The choir at both Laporte and Sonestown received many compli ments. The speakers of the day were con gratulated by all for their appropri ate addresses. The decoration of flags and bunt ing, on buildings In both towns, were about the same as of former years. While our boys were decorating, President Cleveland took the train ' a t Washington for a fishing cxpedi tion at Hog Inland in the Chesapeake Bay. Both churches were packed with people, however, it was noticeable that Sonestown had the larger gathering. Sonestown and vicinity was large* lj' represented at Laporte and so was Laporte at Sonestown. This is as it should be and reminds us all that the best of friendship exists be tween the two precincts. The Review agent was circulating in Sonestown and vicinity last week and met a number of people down there who told him just what they thought of that paper and the Re view man. While at Sonestown on Tuesday we made inquiries of how many Reviews were addressed to that office and were told by re sponsible parties that 1, 2, 3, 4, were mailed to said office; which is the centre of one of the largest town ships in the county. We weVe also told that one of these four met Mr. Newell at Sonestown on decoration day and ordered his paper discon tinued, hence the number is now reduced to three. They mean to reduce the number to oin a short time. The people of Davidson are true blue and don't take any stock in Blatherskite. The REPUBLICAN and Gazette friends, in that vicinity, are numerous. Tuesday evening, May 30, Mrs. L. M. Dunham, of this place, re ceived from her grandchildren, Miss Gthlin M. Dunham and Mr. John L. Dunham of Broughton, Clay county, Kansas. A box of most beautiful flowers to be placed upon the grave of their father, Lieut. H. R. Dunham, whose remains lie buried in our cemetery. These flowers although they came through the mail for nearly 2000 miles were remarkably fresh and beautiful.
