We placed several new subscribers on our list, last week. This cold weather has been severe on new made gardens. Ilazleton is constructing a reser- Toir at a cost of $210,000. All are requested to take part in the Memorial day services. Make arrangements to call and pay the printer, court week. Dress yourself according to the temperature and not the calcndai. A numberof little ones of town are suffering with the whooping cough. An electric railroad between Can ton and Towanda, will be laid in the near future. Supervisor Walsh is doing some work oil our streets in the way of •"slicking up." Heavy frost Tuesday night. lr. Williams, the contractor, re marks that if no bad lock overtakes him, he will have the road complete ed by the 15th of June. $1.0(1 pants at 50c at Jacob Per's, Ilugli es ville. The entertainment given by the Ladies Aid Society of Laporte, on Friday evening last, was a success in every particular. The receipts of the evening was $17.55. The mem bers of the eocity extends thanks to the people ol' Laporte and vicini ty for their liberal patronage. W. M, Stevens Esq. of William sport will deliver the memorial dress at Sonestown, and A.J. Brad ley Esq., of Laporte, will address the G. A- 11. Boyß at Laporte. We re-print the programe for Memorial Day in this issue of the REPUBLICAN. We fail to see wherein the court crier is of any earthly good in atten dance at the contest court. Either Judge could open and close court and it would not mar their dignity in the least. This step would save for the tax payers of the county $3 a day. A new wire l'ence bus been erected around the W. T. Watrous lot on the corner of Muncy and Meylert streets, which adds very much to the appearance of the same. The shrub bery on the North corner of the lot and in front of the dwelling, is very prominent find pretty. T. J,. Keclor can fit your boy with a suit of clothes from $1.25, up. Upon request of the County Com missioners. Judge Peck has appoint ed M. E. Lilley, Wm. Maxwell, S. W. Little, It. A. Mercur and Henry Streeter a committee to confer with and advice the commissioners in the coming work of building the new Bradford county court house.— Towanda Review. Our bicycle riders give exhibitions 011 our main streets, each week-day evening. Chas. Wing, our foreman, is considered the fancy rider, and Lewis Mahaffey, the lightning splitter.' Arthur Miner, S. B. Karns and Leo Wrede, ride very nicely, but thus far have taken no special course. Atty. F. H. Ingham who recently invested in a wheel—rides. •Judge Dunham only part of the time. Jacob Per of Hugbesville, Pa. is closing out all lines of goods at 65 cents on the 112. A few Democrats apprehend that there will be a high and entertaining commotion in their convention to be held on the sixth of August. The woods are full of candidates and each one leels that he is entitled to the nomination. Those on the list of candidates advanced in years, claim that their opponent or oppon ents too young, and that they should have the preference. Numerous other claims are argued by either candidate. The plain fact of the matter is, the man who receives the nomination will be the worst off, in the end. The Republicans will make a clean sweep of it this fall as they did last November. The Dem ocrats, excepting the "Ring" admit this. Ladies, li«ve von seen the new dices goods at T. J. Ivceler's. He can astonish vou, both in quality and price. The old soldiers arc not pleased with the fact that May term of court interfere with Memorial Day servi ces. They think court week should be set for one week earlier or later, as the case may suit. Why wouldn't it be a good idea for each Post in the county to name a committee of one to meet in Laporte some day during court week, and request the court to change the date of the con vening of May term? Such a move we are quite sure would have the d '.sired effect. Atty. F. 11. Ingham, while enjoy ing the recreation of jumpping, one evening last week, sprained his ankle and was compolled togo about on crutches for a day or two. Wife—"What do you think of my new walking dress, Charles ?" Husband —"Should think there was room for quite an extensive prome nade in the sleeves alone." The farmer who held his potatoes for higher prices when they would have sold for 70 and 80 cents a bush el, is now bringing them to market and disposing of them at 45 cents a bushel. A good time to sell is when produce can be disposed of at a reasonable profit.—Towanda Rep. T. J. Keelercan fit you out with Boys, Youths nwl Mens ready made clothing at bottom prices. Atty. A. J. Bradley, who occu pies the office formerly occupied by Prothonotary Walsh in the one story county building, has hung his shingle to the breezes and it is no small concern, either. The letters, "A. J. Bradley's Law Ollice" are distinguishable from Main street. The officials of the W. & N. B. railroad held their annual meeting in Hughesville on Wednesday of last week, and elected the following oflicers, viz: Hon. 11. C. McCormiek, president} R. E. Eavenson, G. V. Forman, Hon. J. Henry Cochran, E. R. Payne, J, Raymond Claghorn and Seth McCormiek, directors. Mr. McCormiek has resigned the presidency, as interfering with his official duties. Joliu Boyd jr., is ill at his homo in Dushore. John has been serving as compositor on the Bainbridge Republican for the past six months and evidently enjoyed a good po sition, as the Republican is a first class semi-weekly paper. We trust that his sickness will not be of long duration and that he will be able to go about again in a few days. The Lawrence Bros., did some grading about the courthouse on Monday and Tuesday. The com missioners were of the opinion that the Lawrenco Bros, should do a portion of the grading and the boye complied with their request. This move on the part of the Lawrence Bros., has pleased the commissioners and will continue harmony in our temple of justice. N. C. Sibling formerly of Laporfe and who went from here to Ilazel ton in August '93 to engage with his father in carpenter work, was taken ill a few weeks after reaching his new home and has been unable to do anything ever since. He is being treated by the best physicians of Ilazleton. Unless there is a change for the better in the very near future, Nelson will visit a Phila. hospital. If the town merchant believes in holding onto the home trade he should set an example, by getting all his printing done at the home printing office. In fact he should be the last person to make purchases elsewhere. Make your purchase here, and if you need anything outside of your business, call on your neighbor who keeps it for sale. The baker, the tailor and the candle-stick maker should recriprocate and by so doing you help yourself as well as your neighbor. Th« WttUontown Allitir. Coroner Shindle's post-mortem examination ol the Huff girl, who died at Watsontown Friday night, confirmed his suspicious of her con dition. Her death was caused by an overdose of oil of savin. The regular dose is five drops, but she took several drachms. The young man who purchased the drug at a Milton drug store is in Canadaigua, New York. The coroner will en vestigate the matter more fully. The girl's name was Gertrude and she was only IT years old. All the parties implicated are to be arrested. —Shamokin Neio». Make it a point to visit my store before you buy your clothing. Not ouly will you save money but you, 11 get larger and bet ter selections, and better goods, We have clothing to suit everybody, no matter how critical, how bis or how small, even an large as a 52 iueh breast. Jacob Per's Hughcsville Pa. Plymouth has a genuine heroine and she is the envey of all the other girls in town. The Shickshinnv Democrat gives the whole thing away as follows: At the theatre the other night a naughty mouse crawl ed up her skirts. She did not scream or make a scene, but quietly gripped it through the folds of her gound and held it there until the end of the act. Then, excusing her~> self to her escourt to "see a friend" at the back of the house, she repair ed there, gave it an additional squeeze and shook it to the floor. And it was a mouse too, a horrid mouse, mind you t There is a fakir traveling through the country painting advertisements on buildings. He pays a small eons sidcration to the owners if they agree to allow no one to paint a sign over his, and takes a receipt therefor, which ultimately turns up as the proverbial promissory note. Be ware of him. SI.OO pants at 60 cents at Jacob Per's Hugheaville. Mr. Ilenry Kohensparger, propri etor of the Eagle Hotel, about one mile from town, on the Sonestown road, will entertain court guests next week for the small sum of 50c a day. The table at the Eagle is always spread with the best. The deduction in price is given owing to the distance from town. The Scripture tell us that Christ went about doing good. He did't eit in a comfortable place and indulge in scandle and gossip about others, as some of his professed followers are doing. Such professed followers of Christ are simply wearing the livery of heaven to serve the devil, and are wolves in sheep's olothing going about seeking whom they uiiy devour c with their lying gossip."— Ex. A big lot of $2.00 suits to bo closed oul at 75c at Jacob Per's, lliighcsville, Pa. A jackass at the head of the gov ernment is a costly experiment to the people of the government. The income tax experiment cost the people of the United Stales about SIOO,OOO and the wood-ba law has been condemned by the United States Supreme Court, hence the money thus spent lias gone to the winds, Notwithstanding this, our government issues U- S. Bonds against the people of the govern ment and dispose of them at 5 per cent interest, whenever a dream or an impression calls their attention to it. Turn the would-be honest boys out and give us a matured head in the Presidential chair. Two bills of interest to ecbool teachers passed the House during the past week. One of the utmost importance, and the passage of which may be regarded as a great victory, is that which gives female teachers the same pay as male teach ers. The bill provides that female employes in public schools shall in all eases receive the same compen sation as is allowed to male teachers for like service when holding the same grade of certificates and are employed to teach an equal grade as male teachers. The bill carries a penalty clause, which says that con trollers and directors violating the law shall be liable to removal from ofliee on complaint of a teacher who shall prove the fact before a court. The House also passed finally a bill permitting teachers to swear one another when being inducted into office. The principle of the bill is purely that of accommodation. A C'OHtly Experiment. The experiment of reviving the income tux has been irMier a costly one to the United S 23 treasury. Up to date the cost 01 preparing for the enforcement of the law now de clared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, aggregates about §IOO,OOO. All the printing done in preparing blank forms of returns is of course n dead loss. There were appointed 250 deputy collectors ot Internal Revenue for the especial purpose of handling this tax, all of whom will now be gradually dis missed. At some of the larger offi ces a few special deputies may be kept for a short time to assist in closing up the work of refunding the money already paid in. Up to May 1, the amount paid in was about $73, 000. Since that date about $7,000 have been received, making the total in round figures 880,000. This money will be refunded under sec tion 3,220 revised statutes upon ap plication being made to the Com missioner of Internal licvenue, through the Collector to whom the tax return was originally made. One application has already been fil ed for a return of the tax paid in ft was made by ex-Senator Camden, of West Virginia, who filed it five minutes after Chief Justice Fuller announced the decision of the court.

It was esti mated that there were about one hundred and ten •witnesses present. The subpoenas in .several instances read that the witness shall be press ent on Monday May 20th, hence a number of them arrived on that date. Of course they were not. placed on the witness stand until Tuesday afternoon, hence they were allowed ono extra day (Monday). This move on the part of the coutes tants will cost the taxpayers of the county several dollars which might have remained in our treasury with the same result so far as the evi dence is ooncerned in the case, Ihe contestants, thus far, have shown no regards for expense. The witnesses arc called on the stand at the rate of about 10 an hour and they are asked the same old questions—"Did you vole for judge at the '94 election ? 'Have you paid a lax for '93 or '94 V On answering the last question about 24 out of 25 make a dive for their inside coat pocket and produce a tax re ceipt. Two or three bench warrants were issued on Tuesday for witnesses of Dushore and Lopez who failed to be in attendance. It is now predicted that tlio test will go 011 to the end. The attornif s present at tbis session are: For contestant, James Piatt Esq., Chas. E. Terry Esq. and J. G. Scou teuEsq. For the respondent, Judge Ingham, D. C. DeWitfc Esq., Hon E. J. Jorden, F. H. Ingham Esq. and A. J. Bradley Esq. The contestants, so Tar as SullivaD county is concerned, closed their evi dence on Wednesday afternoon. At this writing (.Thursday a. 111.) the contestants are offering in deuce alleged defective affidavits ol Wyoming county. Memorial Day Arrangement*. ( HEADQUARTERS J. R. JONES POST, NO. 436. I G. A.
