"We are to have a circus, Satur day. Court will convene on Monday May 28th. Will Rogers of Laporte, lias -pur chased a new bicycle. Sundaj's rain made vegetation "peep" from the ground. The small boys are wearing their last year's shoes and they don't lace up either. Republican delegate election on Saturday, passed oil very harmo niously at Laporte. Jos. Pennington and family of Laporte twp., attended church at iiaporte, Sunday. A rain and wind btorin passed over Laporte Sunday. No damage was done, however. Quite a number of Pensioner 8 were in town and did business with Prothonotary Walsh, Friday. Mr. John Hill, father of our ■townsman Dr. Hill, of Hughesville, is visiting friends in Laporte. T. J. Keeler returned from the •city on Friday, with a brand new lot of goods of all description. Esq., Dunham has laid a brand mew board walk in front of his resi dence, on North Muncy street. Atty. E- M. Dunham of Laporte, was called to Easton on legal busi ness, the latter part of last week. Mrs. C. C. Faries, of Upper Front street, has gone to Chicago on an ■extended visit.—Milton Record. The Laporte Building Association Lave begun the foundation for two dwellings on South Muucy street. Mr. and Mrs. Fied Sehrader of New Albany, spent Friday and Saturday with friends in Laporte. Atty. R. J. Thomson of Dushore, was called to Nebraska the early part of last week on legal business. The miners at Bernice have re sumed work and a strike has beeu averted. This will be good news to all. A large number of people came up from Muncy Valley to attend Catholic services at Laporte 011 Sun day. James Mc Farlano is kept busy de livering lumber to the Ist ward. He has several teams engaged in .this work. The side curtains and top of Dr. Hill's buggy presents a muddy color. The doctor ought to give it a coat of water. It is now a city fad to increase population by annexing suburbs. Cincinnati thus grew 15,000 in one day last week. The W. C. T. A. will give a social at tha residence of Mrs. M. C. Lauer on Friday evening may 11th. All are cordially invited. The roof of the barns of Clias. Little and W. E. King both of La porte twp., were damaged by the wind storm of Sunday. They say Hon. M. J. Lull would like to be Prothoootaiy of Sullivan county. Well now, Josh would'nt make a bad Prothonotary. Mr. B. F. Crossley and sister Miss Bertha of Dushore, spent Sundax with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Crossley, of this place. "Shun dirt, debt und the devil'" was a motto proposed at a recent Alabama negro conference. Pretty good motto for white folks. Miss Lottie Miller and Harry Kerns of Laporte and who are at tending school at Towanda, spent Sunday with friends in Laporte. Miss Mahle Spencer of Laporte, is learning the art of millinering in Williainsport. We predict that Miss Mable will lie an apt scholar. The many friend* of 11. M, Sylrara of Dushore, will be pleased to know that he has returned from a Philadel phia Hospital entirely cured of a growth of cancer in his neck, The Wheeler Bros, circus is com ing. They will reach Laporte Saturday and will pitch their mam moth tent on the ball ground east of town. Miss Fannie, daughter of J. \V . Rogers and Miss Blanch, daughter of A. A. Collins of Forksvllle, were visiting friends in Laporte on Satur day last. John J. Low of Laporte twp, sold his farm to John Watnon of Nordmont, last week. Mr. Low will look after the farm on shares this season. There are two reasons why some people don't mind tin ir own busi ness. One is that they haven't any mind; and another, that they haven't any business. Considering that most girls are afraid of the dark, it seems strange how read 3 r they are to turn out the light in the front parlor when the right fellow is there. A town in Massachusetts pro poses to tax bicycles- The wheel men will not object, providing the income thus raised is applied to highway improvements. A newspaper cannot be run to suit the individual taste of its read ers. It should be treated a3 a bill of fare—you take the things you like and leave those you dislike. The officials of the W. & N. B. R. R, have requested that their em ployees dress in uniform. Station agent Bitter expects the tailor here about Friday to take his measure. The Wilson tariff bill has at last become responsible for some work. Hill is working hard to defeat it. and the other Democratic Senators are working hard to get it through. John Connor, proprietor of the Dushore restaurant, died of liver trouble on Sunday morning. De ceased had hosts of friends through out the county who will mourn his loss. W. E. Purdy who forged B. W. Jenning's name to a check, is now resting in the Towanda jail. It is expected that he will be brought be fore the Bradford county courts this week to answer the charge. Congressman Sibley, a Democrat with populistic tendencies and an unlimited bank account, which he is willing to draw against for political honors may be the Democratic can didate for governor of Pennsylvania B. G. Welch general manager of the W« & N. B. R. R., pasted through Laporte en-route to Satter field 011 the noon trsiiu Tuesday. This is Mr; Welch's first trip over the road since the sad death of his daughter, Mr. G, H. Lancaster of Wayue county, was a visitor to Laporte on Tuesday, Republican Convention da}". Mr. Lancaster was here in the interest of Jack Robinson and made a very good impression upon our people. Our railroad otllcials should have the roadway about the Laporte de pot, repaired. It is fearful and a disgrace during the muddy season. A few dollars spent there would make it much more convenient to the traveling public. The small children of town en joyed a pic-nic in the band pagoda in Maple Park, Saturday. Friday was the last day of school and the children were celebrating the oc cason. Prof. Davis, their teacher, lent thera a helping hand. Only* fourteen out of every one hundred farms in England are culti vated by the owners and tho result is that the state of agriculture in that country is in a very unsatis factory condition and the lands are becoming impoverished. Now that a majority of the gardens have been made and others are undergoing that process, those al lowing their chickens to run at large had better take the hint and pen thera up at once, and not allow their neighbors to lie annoyed with them. The April blizzard was destructive jto bird lil'e. The dead bodies ol many robins have been found under trees and in thickets where the little songsters had sought refuge from the cold storm. They had fixed the date of their engagement to sing too early In the season. Sometime ago a festival was given and money raised by subscription for the erection of a wire fence around the Davidson cemetery. On raising the required amount the money was placed in the hands of the proper otllcials who ordered the wire last summer, anil on its arrival stored it away where it has remained ever siucc. The people of David son are somewhat indignant that the proper officials have not carried out their eoulract and erected the fence as the euUcnptiou paper required. Look out for fellows running about selling alleged gold spectacles. They are a very poor imitation of gold, have ordinary plain glass in them and are worth about 15 cents, although they will ask you any where from #I.OO to 553.;">0. It is rumored that J. C Brown editor cf the Bloomsburg Republi can, will be a candidate for Con gress subject to the will of the Re publican conference of this district. M;\ Brown is an able man and no doubt would make an excellent Con gressman. Hon. Chas. R. Buckalew of Bloomsburg, registered at the La porte Hotel, Tuesday. Mr. Bucka lew is looking for more honors at the hands of the Democratic party. He has a good opinion of himself as a Congressman and thinks he ought to be returned. The citizens of Laporte interested in the movement to provide a way to keep our cattle off the railroad track near Lake Mokoma, will meet at Spencer's store in Laporte on Saturday May 12th at 11 a. m., for the purpose of organizing and elect ing proper officers to pay out moneys subscribed for said purpose. A mob of 25 masked men armed with axes visited Bert Will's saloon, at Burlington, ludiana, on Friday night, knocked in the heads of bar rels and kegs, broke the bottles, and after chopping the fixtures into kindling wood, removed them to the street and made a bonfire of them. A year ago the same place was blown up with dynamite. The trial of M. S. Phinney, of To wanda, for manslaughter, began Tuesday afternoon of last week at Towanda. On Oct. 24, last, while attempting to eject Richard Fitz gerald from the company's store at Loug Valley, Phinney hit the latter over the head with a pick handle in flicting fatal mjuries. The jury acquitted Phinney on Saturday. Mr. Wm. Meylert of Laporte, is very desirous to obtain at this time such information as can be given relative to all families residing in the county for the last thirty years. Much has already been furnished, but an impartial history cannot be given without additional informa tion. His health in not equal to the undertaking of visiting his old friends at their homes, but always glad to see them at Laporte, and it will especially give him pleasure to read and arrange all historical papers that they may forward to him. The Muney Luminary credits the REPUBLICAN, with saying mean things of their town regarding the small pox scare. In conclusion they say: "Muncy is free from contagon of any kind, and neither Muncy's phy sicians nor Hoard of Health need any' advice from the Sullivan county papers, as we are entirely capable of taking care of ourselves." We would remind our brother editor that we had nothing to do with that petty slur. The article should have been credited to the Dushore Review the chronic kicker. Darby Kennedy, proprietor of Hotel Kennedy, was stricken with spasms caused from kidney coin plaint, on Monday morning and for a time it was thought he could not recover. The children were tele graphed of his condition and arrived at his bed side on Monday evening and Wednesda}'. At this writing (Wednesday) however, he is report ed some better, but still unconscious, and the family enteitain faint hopes of his recovery. Drs. Waddell of Dushore and Hill of Laporte, are in attendance. The additional train service over the \V. &N. B. spoken of in the REPUBLICAN, last week, will com mence on next Monday. The train will start from Newbury at 6 a. 111. and run through to Towanda where they will remain over night return ing to Newbury the next morning, lieuce will remain over night alter nately at Towanda and Newbury. The train will pass Laporte at about 8::s<) a. m. Herman A. Knipe will he the conductor nnd Peter Bisel nti old railroad conductor on the Head ing, will take Mr. Knipe's place as conductor ou tho now, regular pas senger. Father Euright, accompanied by F. W. Gallagher, made our people a visit 011 Monday with subscription (taper, for the purpose of raising funds to build a Catholic church at Laporte. The party met with pleas- j ing success both at Laporte and | Eagles Mere, for which Father En right desires to extend through the j columns of the REPUBLICAN, his many thanks to the citizens of the | 'Mere and our home people. Fr. Kuright informs us that work will commence on the churoh in the very near future and also, that a I churoh will be erected in Berniee tliiM summer. Pennsylvania farmers are not gen erally aware of the distance of a law that allows that five dollars a year for maintaining a public water trough along the highway. The law was passed in ISSG, and the only restriction is that not more than one trough shall be maintained on a live mile stretch of road. Let the farmers of Sullivan county earn those five dollars a trough. The Populist state convention was held in iiarrisburg on Tuesday of last week and Jeroine T. Ailinan, worthy lecturer of the Pennsylvania state grange, was made the nominee for governor; Jerome B. Aiken, of Washington county, lieutenant gov ernor ; Victor Lotier, of Danville, and B. F. Greenman, of Bradford, congressman-at-large; Abraham Lon der, of Erie, secretary of internal af fairs ; 11. M. Deisher, of Berks, auditor general. It is said that the only female delegate present was Nellie Quick, of Susquehanna coun ty. T. S. Laird of Nordmont repre sented Sullivan couuty. Cambria county exchanges send out the following warning of a good swindle that has been working that community for some time. A man well dressed, with a business like air, called upon persons in the rural districts and represented himself as a government detective, with the statement that there was much counterfeit coin in circulation and requested them to show what coin they had in their possession. He would then use a chemical, which would turn the coin black, declare it spurious and take it away, inform ing them that another secret service oflicer would follow in a day or two and redeem the coin taken away, l'he victims said nothing about it for some time for fear of being ar rested for having counterfeit coin in their possession, and by this time the swindler was far away. McmoriHl l>i»y l*rogr»iii SONESTOWX, Pa.. April 28, '94. At a regular meeting of S. S.

The world was melodious with the joyous strains of "Grover, Grovor, four years more of Grov; In he goes, out they go, then we'll be in clover." To-day our pants bag at the knee and we gaze with reproach at the estwhile glorious helmet. Our hearts are heavy and our wallets light; we seem to hear around u« in the financial gloaming the old familiar strain—but changed Loren zo, changed.— "Grover, Grover, three more years of Q rover, Wilsou bi|)s»Silyer l?ill —wliere iq 's the clover V For oranges, lemons, bananas, sweet potatoes, etc,- goto UODINK & WARNS, Souestown, Pa. We can sec no possible good that Coxey could have accomplished by his scheme in marching with his army of inen upon Washington and matting a apeeeli from tlio Capitol steps, but so long as he observed the peace, carried no fire aims or used no threats of violence or insur rection, we believe he had the very same right togo with a body of men on foot to the nation's seat of government to influence legislation, whether right or wrong, that the hordes of other men have who roll into Washington on palace cars. It he had not, why not? We believe! lis is misguided in his ideas and that his demands are irapracticable but there are hundreds ami thou sands of men in this country to-day who havo been educated to believe as he does thai the province of government is to make business prosperous and that the passage of jceitain laws will make good or hard times. The partisan press of th< ' oountry is largely responsible for the wild theories entertained by such uien as Coxey, but right or wrong, we claim he has just as good a right to inako an effort to influence national legislation as the hordes of lobbyists who arc to-day sw*nuiog ' about the national capital, IIn*TURSM IIOCMU.
