Senator David 15. Hill is togo on the lecture platform—making his first appearance in thai line before a i Cliioigo audience on December 6.

Pocket stoves for New York policemen are the latest. Tlicy weigh only a few ounces, but the linn that builds them say that they will make the force comfortable in winter weather. As Mr. Roosevelt delights in making things warm for '•the finest,'' he may take kindly to the portable baseburners. If they are loaded with alcohol, however, he may think twice about it. The petitioners for the judicial contest have been directed to appear at the December session of the tri bunal at Laporte, to show cause, H any there be, why the cost of the contest should not be placed upon I hem. Inasmuch as there are but a very few of the whole number o I doners who have any available as sets, those few will industriously ap ply themselves to the task, as they have no desire whatever to shoulder the whole burden of costs. It is not seriously belived that the court will impose the costs upon them, but the judges are not making up their minds without a full hearing of the case.— JEX .tSunitcs ol tlie Local Institute The local institute for Laporte, Davidson and Shrewsbury townships mid Laporte borough was held at Jonestown, Nov. 30. 1895. The meeting was called to order by Supt. Meylert, It was suggested 'hat officers be elected, upon which 0. TJ Davis was elected president, and Anna Karge, secretary. The question box was next In order. The questions were of such a nature that awakened an interest in the work and lively discussions followed. The meeting adjourned until 1:30 p. m. Afternoon session opened by sing ing "America." The program was then taken up. The subject, '"Ob ject Lessons" was opened for dis cussion by E. L. Sweeney, followed by Supt. Meylert, who advised the teachers to collect specimens for object lessons. Some excellent points on the "use of blackboard in chart and first reader classes", were presented by Anna Luseh. "Letter writing," l>y T. 11. Gallagher, follow ed by a general discussion. The subject, "Co-operation of directors with teachers" was ably discussed by A. A. Dunham, M. J. Phillips, ind F. W. Meylert, showing the necessity of co-operation in school work. "School Exhibits," touched upon by several teachers. Supt. Meylert requested the teachers to pay more attention to this work and that a larger and better display of exhibits will be expected at the next fair. "Commercial Arithmetic," by M. I). Sweeney, followed by remarks from Supt. Meylert, emphasizing the necessity of teaching pupils how to write notes, bills, receipts, etc. "Attractive school rooms," by Linda Lawrence, followed by suggestions from Supt. Meylert and directors.

AXNA KABGE, Sec'y. Since the recent election, a worker in the Republican ranks, has taken the time and trouble to look np the stay at home Republican vote in Sullivan county ami on Saturday last this count reached SKS with several of the Eastern precincts to hear from. Among this list is Lopez and the supposition is that, this dis trict alone will increase the numbur to 150. The democratic vote was oat almost to a man. 'Tis true, however, that the independent Dem ocratic and Republican voters ca«t their ballots, so far as our county ticket wan concerned, without refer ence to party principles, but this is so at all elections. The state ticket is the oul 3' basis, and had our vote been gotten out, Mr. Haywood would have received a small majority for State Treasurer. Sullivan county is naturally Republican, and with our party vote out, will prove it beyond doubt. The Democrats are anxious to attend the elections and arc there annually. There is a very good reason for this. In each district iu our county there are from one to six prospective Democratic candidates. These people to guiD recognition in their party, must get out the vote in their respective precincts, hence the rank and file of the Democratic party are looked after by those who ex pect to profit thereby. While on the Republican side we are compell ed to persuade men to take a place on our ticket, hence our workers are engaged, because they are true and tirui believers of Rebublioinism and not with a view of profit. When we have proven to the voter that we iiavea majority of the votes in Sulli van county and stripped the Demo crats of the only means they have of getting out their vote, a big change will follow. For instance, if we should carry Sullivan county by 50 or 10J votes at the '96 election our majority at the '97 election would reach 200 and we would continue to grow stronger annually. Ijet each one of us do what we. can to further our success at the IS9'> election. One hard light, and success achieved .iur future lot will he an easy one. The judicial contest court will meet in Laporte on Thursday, Dec 12th. At this meeting the judges will announce the election ol Hon L. VI, Dunham as president judge <»f the forty-fourth judicial district and will designate who shall pay the costs of the contest. The attornics for the respondent will make a hard fight in behalf of the I counties and argue that the petition i ers shall meet this obligation. Should they be successful, it would I hp pretty hard on our old neighbors mil acquaintances, while on the >ther hand it would seem unjust for \ lot of innocent people to pay a iill contracted by those people. It is expected that the court will reach a decision on the above men tioned date and if tlic argument 'loos not continue until late in the afternoon of Thursday, we hope to announce the same in our next issue. In which event the REPUBLICAN, go ing north may be delayed until the evening train. Ncliool Report. Report of Sugar Grove school for •2d month ending Nov. 29th.

The present indications are that quite a number of the witnesses in the judicial contest will lose their pay through failure to file their claims in time for consideration at the next session of the judicial court. The only notification sent out is through the newspapers, and as in some of tlm back districts they have no use for such things, the chances of their knowing anything about the matter are slim. However, what they lose the district will gain, and it is not the first instance in which a man has lost more than the sub scription price of a weekly paper b\ not taking it, —Tunkhannock JVew Age. Very little honey has been gather ed in many localities this year as a direct result of the unusually long drought. Flowers were compara tively scarce and the bees seemed to get but lit tie honey from what, flow* 1 ers there were. In several parts of Pennsylvania, it is said, there is ' danger of tho bees starving to death • during this winter. In many dis ' tricts there is no honey to gather , for the market, the little collected being needed by tho bees for their own use. NATURIIAVN HUNT A UK.INU NIWCKNM. Upl, ItwlTwrd and III* Crew Win* By 155 I'oiittM, The grand hunt ns announced in the REPUBLICAN last week, took place on Saturday. It was a large day and all was excitement. Every body who could, joined the army and during the day tlie "bang" of guns were heard on either side and in quick succession. Old soldiers su.y it reminded them of the army of the Potomac. The day was not favors able however, it was cold and the game laid low and was not on the move. CHOOSISTO UP SII)K3. On Friday evening the Captains- Messrs. J. W. Ballard and A. J. Ilackley and a large number of those who took part in the day's sport, met at the store of T. J. Keeler and made their selections and chose judges. The sides and count were aa fol* lows : J- W.

It is only fair to say, however, lhat only one person, Mr. Voorhees, chosen on Mr. Ballard's side, failed to take part in the hunt, while foui persons chosen by Mr. Ilackley did not take part. They were T. J Keeler who was detained because ol sickness in his family, F. II Ingham same cause, W. M. Cueney was call ed to the sick bed of his mother at Ragles Mere, and Samuel Miller who is trackman on the W. & N. 8.. •la led to get a furlough. These absentees, had they been present, might have added to the count of iheir respective sides. This is sup position, however, and it was game the boys were after. Mr. Ballard and his sharp shooters won nicely and they now call themselves the boss shooters of the county. It was suggested lhat because of the absentees the judges decide the contest to the side that made the best average, This the judges re fused to do, and it was almost the universal opinion of those present that they did right-. It was Oapt. Hockley's misfortune that his men Tailed to join the party. THE SUPPKtt.

Ernest Laner was detained home several hours Saturday morning in -earch of his dogs—they hal (led. J. W. Ballard, Lewis Umnble and Arthur Minor shot seven times at a white rabbit. They didn't ruffle a feather. Oscar Snyder has the audacity to say that Newt Maben shot a wood pecker on an apple tree near the barber shop. Judge Dunbnm and Atty. A. J.

A question with a nice legal point whs argued before Judge Metzger at WilliainHport, Thursday morning on tlie application for a writ of habeas corpus to secure thoreloase from j >ll of .loh'i Smith, (.he man arrested on the charge of perjury and held for court miller SI,OOO bail. Smith, it wiU he remembet'od, was a witness for the plaintiff in the case of Sarah llews against the \\ iliiaui sport & North liram li railroad, in' which a verdict of #IO,OOO was re turned for lhe plaintill". He swore that hw was in tiie cab of tlie engine with the crew when the accident occurred, while the six men com prising the crew swore positively that Smith was not there, and a day or so after the verdict was given Smith was arrested for perjury as stated. The ground taken by the attorneys! for Smith in their application for a writ of habeas corpus is tbat a wit ness in a ease cannot be legally ar rested and imprisoned on a charge of perjury until the case has been iiiifllly disposed of. After hearing argument on hotti sides, the court decided for the present to reduce the bail from SI,OOO to 300, and stated that he would give the matter further consideration, the following order being made: •'And now, to-wit, November 21, 181)5, after hearing argument of councel, and after due consideration it is ordered that John Smith, the prisoner, give bail with one or more sureties in the sum of S3OO, con ditional for his appearance at next court of quarter sessions of the peace to answer the charge of perjury, and that he be remanded to the custody »112 the sheriff in the meantime. This order to be subjected to revocation at any time, if, upon further consid eration, the court or judge should be <>f opiniou that the prisoner was im properly arrested."

Tuesday afternoon of last week I'eter Frontz, a miuer who 'ive.l in the suburb of that city and whose wife kept a boarding house, was badly injured in the mine. He died the same night and nis wife and three children the uext day appeared in mourning. They received the sym pathy of the neighbors and the sym pathy of John Strong, one of »he boarders, was noticeable. Thursday afternoon the funeral took place, the >vidow, tlie children and John Streng and several neighbors followed the body to the „rave. Tlitusday night he mother and JohnStreug told the children they were going out. In tu hour they returned and the wo man introduced Streng to the chil dren as "your new papa." Tin* Farmer* Here Afraid. A smooth tongued sti anger claim ing New York as his homo, was cir culating among ihe farmers of Her rick recently. He desired to make | a contract for the removing of stone from a fanner's land, which were to be ground up and used in making pavements in 'die city. He also de sired to secure board with the farm ers for half dozen men and several teams which would be used in the work. Those whom he approached were very chary about signing an} contracts, according to a correspond eut, and they were probably doing a wise tiling when tbey hesitated about putting their names to a paper for an}' stranger—Towanda Jiev.
