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

a day.

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

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

The farmer who held his potatoes
for higher prices when they would

a reasonable profit.—Towanda Rep.

Atty. A. J. Bradley, who occu

small concern, either. The letters,

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

mated that there were about one

Tuesday afternoon, hence they were
allowed ono extra day (Monday).

regards for expense.
