It is understood that the Demo cratic managers arc treasuring a "roorback" which they intend to spring later in the campaign with the hope that it will injure one of the people's candidates.

George Streby of the Gazette re marked in his last week's issue that Morgan Gavitt and A. Walsh were the only two people in the county who can fill the office of Prothono tary with credit to the county. Now, just how this remark can help the Democratic ticket, we fail to see. There are numerous Demo crats in the county who feel that they are competent to fill this posi tion. Mr. Streby's remark sets these people one side with all of the Re publicans and Prohibitionists in the county. All things considered ac cording to George's view, our county is in a pretty bad state of affairs But we do not believe his assertion. There is Frank Lusch, Ed Franke and E. E. Mecum who were candU dates for tbe nomination of Prothon otary in the Democratic convention and we think either of these gentle men could All the office of Prothon otary with credit to tho county. These are the people that Streby says, "might possibly do" and there is Atty. H. T. Downs who has been tried and proved himself an able officer. If this sting of Mr. Streby's is not resented by many Sullivan county voters at the polls on the sth of November we (ball miss our guess., With Russel Earns proprietor, things look "oldstimcs" about the Laporte Hotel. Thirteen people of Williamsport interested in the Lake Mokoma Land Com piny, visited Laporte and Mokoma Thursday of last week. They partook of a first class dinner at tbe Laporte Hotel. The Mokoma steamer was fired up and the visitors were ushered up anil down and nil over the beautiful bay. The purpose of the meeting was to suggest and plan for improve ments to be made about the promises in early spring, but they didn't do a thing. T, J.

Scranton, Oct. 20.—A shocking, accident at Wavorly, tbis county, i last evening resulted in a probable . iatal injury to Mrs. James Green, n j farmer's wife, at the bands of Hugh. I the 15-year-old son of President, fudge 11. \\ r . Archbald. Hugh had ' been hunting with three young men 1 md stopped at the farmer's house to get a glass of water. As ho was taking t.lio glass from the lady's hand, his gun fell from his hand and was discharged and the ball piercing her lungs. She ran into the house and was found there unconscious with the blood pouring from her mouth. Medical assistance was summoned from Scranton, but her recovery is not probable. Ladies, li'ive vou seen the new dross at T. J. Iveeler's. He can astonish vou, both in quality and price. The friends of Messrs. Frank ■Lusch and Ed Franks have not for gotten the proceedings in the recent Democratic convention, when Mr. Lusch desired that delegates present iu his interest should be allowed to vote for the nomination of Mr. Franke for Prothonotary. Had this been allowed Mr. Franke would have won easily, but the leaders wouldn't have it that way, resulting in Mr. b'ranke's defeat, when it was con ceded that he, with the help of Mr. Lusch, had a majority of the dele gates in the convention. Some people say that this had the appears ance of a slated ticket, to be nomi nated, at all hazards. The pamphlet laws of the last ses sion are so full of errors made either in transcribing or printing that some of the acts are rendered utterly use less. To the extent that these blun ders were made in the printing they should be corrected by printing a new edition and recalling the vol utucs now out as little better than junk. It is hardly probable that the Superintendent of Public Printing, knowing the defects as he must from his ofllcial position, and taking into account the character of the work, particularly the binding, lias appov» ed this job. If he has not approved it the work should be done over again, and done properly, at the ex pense of the contractor. That would be the only successful way to com pel the contractor to do the work as it should be required to be done, and as he undertook to do in the con tract. The State has been disgrace fully imposed upon in these printing jobs.— Ex. l)r. W. B. llill formerly ofLaporte died in Philadelphia of apoplexy on ■Saturday morning last, llis remains were brought to Hughesvillo on Mon day where the funeral services were held on Wednesday. Because of full particulars we delay further notice of ins death until next week. EXI'KKKNIO\ OJ l ' CONDOLENCE. Lycoming Comity Hcilical Society lake Action on the Deu< of Ur. W. B. Hill. A special meeting of the Lycom ing County Medical Society was held Sunday morning at the hos pital for the purpose of taking action on the death in Philadelphia on Saturday of Dr. W. B.

"The society also extends its mosl heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved wife anil family in this their hour ol sore affliction and will send a com mittee to attend the interment at Hughesville, Pa." It was ordered that a copy of tlit above minutes be.sent to the famih of Dr. Hill and one bu furnished the daity papers for publication.

The\ j should be well posted as to tin friends of the people's ticket, and tups of several miles bhould be made for a single voter. These peopU should be well paid for their service ai. 1 they should bo compelled to do their work well by the- workers o! the party. It this is done ther. need bo no fear concerning the re sult. The standing committee would be the proper persons to call the meet ings and enforce action. Here is a list of said committee, Bernicc.—Cbas. Watson; Cherry.—A. L. Cox; Colley—.Win.

One good man and team we think would be sullicient here. Cost, say S3. Cherry would require three men an! teams, cost $9. Col!e\ would require as many as Cherry, $9. Dushore, Charley Lawrence's team with a good driver would bi sufficient, cost nothing. Davidson, three men and teams would be re quired here, cost $9.

We predict that if this work is done systematically it will cost less than if let go at lose ends and the result will be more satisfactory to all concerned.

BLAXOI REEDE, Teacher. Many Wyoming county farmers depend on Scranton for a market for their pototoes, and tljid year went there as usual to dispose of their crop. They were disappointed however, to find that market flooded with potatoes shipped in from Can ada. This is rather discouraging, and the cause can be traced to only one source—a Democratic tariff. Oar farmers must have protection to insure a market for their products, and protection must coino through tho success ot Republican principles ind the farmer is the man who must choose in the matter. Will you vote for or against your own interests? Vou should not wait for a Presiden tial year to roll around in order that you may have an opportunity to help strengthen the Republican party. That strength must be secured at the minor elections. This year is the time, to approve or disapprove of Democratic rule. If you wish n home market lor your produce be* jin this year to vote for it, that it. tin 1 only way U> succeed. Tunkhan uock Jiep. Hulked to College. Rev. Ilallock Armstrong well known in this section and a former pastor of the Presbyterian church ut Moiiroeton, visited Lafayette college I'ist week. A correspondent writes of iiiin as follows: lie v. Ilallock Armstrong, an hon* orman of the class of '4B, and ex eliaplain of the 50th Pennsylvania ilegiuieut, led the chapel exercises on Wednesday, lie said that com ing to this college tlfty-one years :igo, from lits home in Bradford Co. dressed from bead to foot in home spun, lie walked all the way and reached Kaston with two dollars in his pocket. He struck the hearts of the sophomores by saying that he went through the four years course without forming the acquaintauce of a single lady in the city, but later on made up that "condition" by estab lishing a home of his own, from which have gone out ten children and ten grandchildren. He has a prosperous charge iu Nelson, Tioga county. JEv. The Rev, Mr. Armstrong is well ami favorably known in this vicinity having taught several terms oi -chool in Laporte many years ago.

Importeut to Nckool I>ircetor*> The last legislature passed a law which is of considerable importance to the different school boards of the State, the text of which is as follows: "That the board of school diiec tors and controlers of each school district of this commonwealth, be and they are hereby required, at least once during each full school term, and prior to the first of Jan-, uary of each year, and within thirty days after the close of each annual school term, to have taken out, re moved and hauled away all excre ment and waste matter from every out house or water cbset, connected with or standing upon the premises of any public school house in the Commonwealth, or have the same properly disinfected; and they arc required to have every out house properly scrubbed, washed out and cleaned, the Inside walls ed, and the vaults or receptacles cov ered with a layer of fresh dirt or dry slacked lime within ten days of the opening of each annual school term.
