Russell Karns and wife are spending the week with friends in Benton, Columbia county. On their return they expect to occupy the Lamoreaux house, on Centre Main street. R. A. Conklin, of Laporte, is building a couple of pedestals for the I. O. 0. F lodge room of this place. He is erecting them of cherry and when completed will be a hand some and a well made job.

W U. Hitter, station agent at La porte, is assisting in the office work at Ilughesville, headquarters along the Hue of the W. k N.

The Union Tanning Company re cently purchased of Davidge A Crarey several thousand acres of land, situate in Colley township. The deed was a long one—24 pages of fools-cap. Notwithstanding the length, however, Prothonotary Walsh recorded it in one day. Six bodies hare so far been re covered from the Gaylord mine, in which 13 men were entombed about the middle of February, All of the bodies so far recovered have been crushed so badly that the persons could only be recognized by their clothes, A lot of enterprising Omaha couu terfeiters are turning out silver dol lars that are equal to the genuine in every respect. They use the same proportions of silver and alloy that the government does, the seignorage giving them sufficient profit. They clear about fifty-one cents on every dollar turned out. E. S. Chase, of Eagles Mere, was doing business in Wilkes-Barre on Friday and Saturday of last week. Embly was formerly of Wilkes-Barre and notes many changes made at his old home since his absence. He is of the opinion that Wilkes-liarre ranks among the prettiest cities in the state. In learning to swim, if you have confidence in yourself and your powers, and strike out strongly, you will succeed. If, on the other hand, you make a few wild movements and then stop, you will sink. So it is in advertising. It's the man who knows what he is going to do and does it that gets on in the advertising world. Coxey's army of tramps left Can ton, 0., enroute for Washington, D.

Spenrj', of near Nordmont, has purchased the farm known as the Thomas B' 1 farm in Benton township, Co' -«oia county, and will move on the same the first week in April, diet, is a good neighbor and a hard working young man and will o doubt make a success of his ad venture.

The}' will use the first floor of the hall building at said place and will employ six experienced cigar makers. We wish the young men lots of suc cess. The hard times are driving many people from the cities who are llock ing to the country to become farm ers. In some sections in Berks county every farm could be rented ten times over. Consequently the price of farm laud has taken a jump upward and the rentalu haye increas ed. Many of those who are returns ing to the farms formerly went to the city from the country. The Philadelphia Record never uttered a more patent truth than when it declares that "the Augean stables at their filthiest never needed a Herculean cleaning out worse than does the United States Senate. It is full of schemers, incapables and political upeculators who know nothing of patriotism except as a convenient cloak with which to cover sinster designs that will not bear the light. PHILADELPHIA, March 24.—Orga nized labor in soon to engage in a battle that will airect international interests and may ultimately lead to international complications. War to the knife is to be declared by the Knights of Labor against the twen ty or more breweries in St. Louis which are controlled by the English syndicate, and it is given out by those who know whereof they speak that before many months the plant of every brewery concern will be ab solutely idle and that millions of dollars of English capital will be come unproductive. Atty. H T. Downs and John E. Gallagher Laporte Boro. auditors, completed their work of auditing the boro. account, on Tuesday. The result of their work will be very gratifying to the tax payers of our tuwu. They have gone over the aocounta thoroughly and with ex actness and find the liabilitiea in ex cess of our resources just This is an excellent allowing. The statement will not b« published until the school audit is made. This Ukws pl»c« in Juno. D. M. Speary, of near Nordmor.t, made the BBPUBLIOAN ofllce a very pleasant call one day last week. Mr. Speary was an old soldier and like the majority of his comrades, don't like the proceedings of Hoke Smith. The old soldier, deserving of a pen sion, has a right to condemn the ways of this administration and especialty in the Pension department. Charley Sadler of New Albany and formerly of ilills Grove, has com posed a piece of music for three horns and piano, lie has addressed it to Washington to be copyrighted. The title of the waltz is : "Sundown at New Albany." Charley is a good musician and we bespeak that the piece he has written will take equally as well as "After the Ball." A move has been made in the di rection of organizing a building as sociation in Laporte. The associ ation will be made up of home peo ple and with the plans completed will commence the erection of four dwellings this spring. We un derstand that the sites selected for the buildings are; two on East and two on West Main street. Our townspeople should interest them selves and take a hand in the project. The Carbondale school board has adopted the following very sensible rule : That any pupil using tobacco in any form or smolving cigarettes of any kind on the school premises shall suffer expulsion from the schools. The catching of a twelve year old boy smoking in the school house corridor and his declaration that he smoked ten cigarettes a day is what led to the adoption of the rule. The "Pomeroy Family Quartet"' will visit Laporte on this Friday evening and will give an entertain ment in the M. E. church. Follow ing is what the Rev. G. V. Savage, pastor of the M. E. church of Eyers Grove, Pa.,savs of the entertainment: "Everybody was well pleased. It was the best we overheard, consider ing their ages." The following is clipped from the Mountain Echo , published at Shick shinny, Pa : "The Pomeroy family made such a favorable impression upon our people that an encore con cert has been requested." It seems as it there would never be an end to the schemes to defraud farmers. The latest one is this : Agents go around under the pretense of getting data for a county map. If a man does not subscribe for the map they ask him to sign a certifi cate which innocently purports to show that those who are mapping out the country have been on his farm and have the dimensions, etc , of it. This certificate turns out to be an order for the map at about ten times its worth. Trouble ensues if the map is not taken and the price paid, in which the "subscriber" gets the worst of it. The license asked for the Glen Mawr Hotel, G. W.Knox, proprietor, was refused in the Lycoming county courts on Saturday last. After re jecting the license Judge Mezger made the following statement, viz : "That he is becoming tired of heavy complaints about this house, and he would settle it for one year, at least, and see how that would go. "The law must be obeyed," ho con tinued. "I have had enough trouble with this house. Some people are always kicking about granting new licenses, but I think it would prob abl}' be better to grant a few new ones and cut off some old ones." The directors of the Lake Mokoma Laud Company held a meeting in Williamsport 011 Thursday last, and if all rumors are correct, it was a lively meeting, too. The fact of the matter is, our people have been put aside by those Williamsporters con nected in the Mokoma Land Co., just about as long as they intend to be, and have resolved that they know what investments will pay about the property equally as well as our city guests. Accordingly, Judge Ing ham maile a motion in the meeting that the Lake Mokoma Land Co. place a steamboat on the lake this summer to cost not less than twelve hundred dollars. As a matter of course our Williamsport friends ob jected and said it would not pay. Hon. Russell Karns was a silent listener for some little time, but as the debate waxed warm he could not stand it longer and sprang from Ills seat and with an emphatic expres sion, fcaid it would pay and that lie would pay ten per cent, on the money invested. This ended the controversy and a vote was taken and carried, hence, we can announce to our readers that a steamboat will without fail, be placed on Lake Mo koma this summer. A let <>f s;s 00 l» hauled to the Muncy river bridge aic carried out upon the bridge aid dropped into the: water, with tlwfrog of a switch tied to it, presumably among the wreck age of some freight cars that went I down to the boitoui of the river] from the old river bridge the time of the big flood Rooker is said to have explained tkat he was in the game, but had nithing to do with the shooting. Rooker was b'ought Lome from llarrisburg fc'attrday and is now under the care o.' a physician. It is said that he has denied the story in every particular. People in Muncy generally discredit the story, and place 110 credence in what Rooker says. DISTRICT ATTOI:N:Y GOES TO MT7NCY. District Attorney Gilmore was seen by a reporer this afternoon about the latest louseknecht rumor and when asked if he had anything new on the subject he replied that lie had just heard of the report, and knew nothing ab»ut it. lie had heaid nothing from Muncy lately, he said, and the re-« port of an allege! confession was news to him. Ife said, however, that he would go down to Muncy this afternoon, and investigate the matter. NOT KNOWK IN MUNCY. whatever the s'.ories may be here, the people of Mur.cy don't seem to know anj'thing alout it. The Re publican has telephoned to a num ber of parties the e to-day, but has been unable to vtrify the rumored confession, or in fact any rumor for that matter. One party said in re ply to the question put by the Re publican, that tiere was nothing new at all, that it was talk, if anything.—Willimisport Republican March 26th. Was all a Fake. It turns out that the startling fTonseknecht mystery story attribu ted to Jacob Hooker, of Muncy, which was published yesterday is all a fake. District Attorney Gilmore went to Muncy yesterday afternoon to in vestigate the matter, but as he left for Philadelphia early this morning the result of his investigations couldn't be gotten from him. The Republican received a tele phone message from Muncy, how ever, to the effect that the district attorney had seen Rooker, and that the latter had denied the whole busi ness. The district, attorney there fore paid no further attention to the matter.—Williamsport Republican March 2".
