A large number of young people of Eagles Mere attended Baptist church at Laporte, Friday evening, Henry Huflmaster of Cherry twp., and a good republican, will be a candidate for Commissioner this fall. Editor Streby of Dushore, gave the REPUBLIC\N a call, while at the county seat on business, Thursday. Dan Darling of Davidson twp., has the Commissioner's bee in his bonnet. Dan is a good Republican. March "came in like a lion" and it still remains very "lionish." As to its going out, that remains to be seen. A very good portrate of Samuel Colo, burgess of Dushore, appeared iu the Philadelphia Press on Thurs day last. County Superintendent F. W. Meylert, was visiting schools in Western Sullivan, the early part of the week. Candidates are numerous on either side. A large number of them will get left. Its too bad wc haven't more offices to fill. F. W. Gallagher, poor director of Laporte borough, was transacting business in Monroe county, Tuesday and Wednesday. Proth. Lawrence has leased the W. T. Watrous dwelling on Muncy street and will take possession of the same on April Ist. The Laporte township auditors, ■with their clerk, met in the court room and audited the road accounts of said precinct, Monday. A. A. Baker of Laporte twp, has announced himself a candidate for county commissioner, subject to the will of the Republican convention. Williamsport was founded on July 4th, 1790, and a movement is on foot to have a big centennial cele bration on the coming glorious Fourth. Gov. Hastings has appointed Chas. B. McMichael to the vacant seat in the Common pleas court of Philadelphia,caused by the death of Judge Reed. There will be an adjourned and argument court on Friday, April 3, 1896, at 10 o'clock a. m.

The Evangelical conference held •t Newberry this week, placed Rev. W. J. Campbell in charge of the Muncy Valley district and Rev. D. L. Kepler, the Dushore district. The contest court will meet In Laporte on Monday, March 23d, to close up the last details of its work, ami will then adjourn finally. The last toll of the bell of these proceeds ings will be welcomed by our people, A large Roohester lamp while lighted, fell in the Laporte Hotel diningroom on Saturday evening and nearly caused a disastrous con flagration in our midst. The flames from Ko burning oil were smothered »nd put out by the use of bed quilts. In forty-Ave counties of the State, the county superintendents of pub lic schools are serving their third ' terms. In some other counties no change has been made in the offices for flfteeu years, Amos Little of Nordmont while in town on business, Monday, called and renewed his subscription to the REPUBLIACAN. Mr. Little is a good business man, hence, is prompt with the newspaper fraternity. C. L. Magce of Pittsburg is a can didate for the State Senate in the 43d district. This is one of the four senatorial districts of that city and has been represented by Mr. John Upperman for the past fifteen years. It is rumored that the officers of the Union Tanning company now locat ed in Ridgway, Pa., will locate in Williamsport on April Ist. The officers are: O. P. Grant, president; M. T. Hammond, treasurer and M. K. Williams, auditor. E, S. Chase of Shrewsbury twp., would make a first class county commissioner. Shrewsbury has never been recognized by the repub lican county convention, and her claims are large - Encourage Emly to enter the field. The Lancaster Republican county committee decided to place the names of the leading Republican candidates for President upon the ballots to be voted at the primaries. The national delegates will be in structed to support the winner. Conrad Kraus of Cherry, and a right good fellow he is, too, is a candidate for the nomination of Associate Judge, subject to the will of the Democratic convention this fall. Conrad is a first class business man and has hosts of frionds in this section of the county. An exchange says. "Sow cabbage seed on the 31st of March between the hours of 7 and 10 a. m., or on the first day of April between the hours of 10 a. m.and 2 p. m., and your plants will grow and withstand ! a draught and keep quite free from worms." County Treasurer, A. L. Smith, is in receipt of a warrant on the State treasurer for the return of three fourths of the State tax on personal property for the year 1895, amount ing to $551.94 This will help to pay Sullivan county's share of the contest cost. Mr, C. F. Cheney and mother, Mrs. A. M. Cheney will invest in the mercantile business at Eagles Mere, this spring. The interior of the store property owned by Mr. Cheney, at said place, is being ro modeled, and when finished will be convenient, for the purpose intended in every respect. We publish a condensed report of the First National Bank of Dushore, in this issue of the REPUBLICAN. Our readers will take notice that the business of this institution is very much in advance of last month. This enterprise is conducted by business men and must be successful. The Dushore bank is solid in every par ticular. Jos. Little of Nordmont caught a large catamount in a trap on Wed nesday morning of last week. He brought it to town on Monday, and all of our old residents were of the opinion that it was the largest ani mal of the specia they ever saw. It would weigh, in good flesh, about 30 pounds. W. C. Mason, Esq, purchased the pelt. The republicans throughout the count are urging Hon. B. W. Jen nings to accept the nomination for Member this fall. Worth's knowl edge of the way they do business down there, makes him the most available candidate in the county. It is the wish of the REPUBLICAN that Worth will accept the nomina tion. His election will follow. The total costs in the judicial con test for the Forty-fourth district, comprising Wyoming and Sullivan counties, were $11,144.96. The ap portionment to Wyoming $7,295.40. Court ordered the commissioners to pay the money to the prothonotary of Sullivan county, fixing 10 o'clock as the limit of time. The commis sioners of Wyoming county refuse to obey, contending the order was unjust. They may be summoned for contempt.— Ex. We understand that the judges in the judicial contest case have dis covered that they cannot compel Wyoming county to forward her share of the costs over to Sullivan county, and thus allow the officials of that county to toll it to the tune of about SI,OOO. The costs of this county will thus be certified to the county commissioners, or should lie, and they stand ready to pay all claims as soon as they have the authority—Tunkhaunock Hep. Summer Normal »t l^aporte. Prof. L, L. Ford of Philadelphia, Dr. Bowlus of Pittsburgh, and Prof. John W. Moyer of Philadel phia have united to establish a. teach er's summer normal and special school at Laporte. These gentle men have been looking for a suitable location for such a school for some time and they have concluded that Laporte, on account of its high ele vation, pure air, and cool summers, offers unusual advantages for such an institution. The school will open the latter part of June and will continue in session six weeks, closing just be fore our annual Normal Institute begins. Classes will be formed in all the branches now required to be taught in the public schools, and in addition to these the course will in clude Methods of Teaching, School Management, History of Education, Algebra, Geometry, Literature, Rhetoric, Latin, Philosophy, Chem« istry, Botany, Natural History, Elecution and Drawing. Prof. Ford fills the chair of maths ematics in the Northeast Training School of Philadelphia; Dr. Bowlus occupies the chair of science in Dus quesuo College, Pittsburg; Prof John W. Moyer was formerly a res ident of Lycoming county, lie was at one time principal of the schools of Jersey Shore, afterwards a teach er in the Muncy Normal, then teach er in Wood's College, Williamsport. This position he resigned to accept the vice-principalship of a Philadel phia manual training school. A special teacher in Drawing and Elo cution is also to be secured. This is a strong faculty and the teachers and those, who expect to teach as well as advanced students in the schools of this county should : bo quick to accept the opportunities . that will be afforded them. The i tuition rates ave mule very low—ten dollars being the price of a scholars ship for the entire session. Our hotel proprietors and other citizens have signified their intention to offer 1 accommodations at very cheap rates : to all students. To co-operate with the faculty, an ; Advisory Board has been organized ; at Laporte. Its officers are as fol- . lows: President lion. E. M. IThnham; Vice-President, J. W.Flynn; See re- ; tary, Morgan P. Gavitt; Treasurer, j \V. C. Mason, Esq. Announcements of the school will . appear in all the county papers later, | and circulars will be forwarded to all teachers and prospective students, j It is expected that a large number! of teachers and students from the ! surrounding counties will also be j enrolled. Classes will be formed to accommodate any and all who RW»>nd. | Gahart lless of Thornedale, r5- cords the arrival of a young son on Wednesday, snd Ilarwy Hess of Nordmont, a daughter, the same date. The big snow storm of the season came on Wednesday and Wednesday night. The depth this morning is about ten inches, and the storm has not entirely subsided. The wind has blown a steady gale and moun tains of snow are piled in our high ways and travel is at a standstill. Dr. NoliatU-r May Accept. Tiie Harrisburg Patriot says: "Superintendent of Public Instruc tion Sclieatfer may retire from office before the expiration of his com mission, which runs until June, '97. He has been tendered the possition of superintendent of the Reading schools to take the place of Samuel A. Bear. The salary is $2,00(1 a year and it is likely that Dr. Scheafl'er will accept, as there is hardly a boubt but that Governor Hastings will appoint a Republican at the expira tion of his term. Mr. Bear is a candidate for the Democratic nomi nation for congress in the Berks- Lehigh district and will not make an effort to retain his present position. NOTICE —To whom It may concern. The undersigned having disposed of their store at Sonestown Pa . desire all accounts due them settled at once. The accounts are with John W. Buck yet for a short time before placing them for collection. All persons owing us will please settle at once as it will be to their interest to do so. BODIUE A WARN, Souestown, Pa., Mirch 10, 1800. Horn on February 20. A son was born to Select Council man and Mrs. Victor Lauer to~day who will have the unique distinction of being the first boy in this city who will bo able to vote on his fourth birthday. When he has cel ebrated his fourth birthday he will be a full fledged citizen of the United States It will be eight years before he can celebrnte his first birthday. This is because of the fact that the month of February will not again have 29 days in eight years, move ment of the spheres having arrived at that stage where the extra day must be left out of February in 1900 in order to keep the calendar con sistent. Because of this tiie lad cannot have a birthday until 1904 and as he eau have one only every fourth year after that he will be 24 years old on liis fifth birthday.— Scran ton Times. Strawberries have mado their ap» pearance in the city markets. Mrs. Chaa. Lmdon of Laporte, who has been seriously ill for some time, is convalescent. The Lehigh Valley pay car will visit the Bernice branch of their road and distribute the monthly wages to their men, on March 34th. Now that the plans have beon ac cepted it will not be long before the work of constructing Bradford coun ty's new courthouse will be under way. On Monday, Mrs. Chas. Wrede of Laporte, gave a party in honor of the 12th birthday of her daughter Mollie. A large number of children were present and they enjoyed a delicious feast and entertaining games. Mr. J. W. Buck, who has had charge of the mercantile business owned by Bodine <fc Warn at Sones town, has purchased the same of the above mentioned firm, and took possession of the business last week. Mr. Buck is a thorough business man and will no doubt make a suc cess of his adventure. Sap pans, pails, spouts, etc., at lowest prices. Coles Hardware, Onshore I'a. A. B. Killmer (Republican), of Shuuk, would like to adorn our Judge's Bench, as associate. There is no reason why Anthony couldn't till tho bill. Ho has dealt out the law in the capacity of justice of the peace for many years, and would bo at home in the court room. We wish Anthony success. Dr. King's Lecture, Dr. Byron W. King of Pittsburg, entertained a very enthusiastic and | appreciative audience at the court j house on Thursday evening last, 112 This was Dr. King's second appear ance at Laporte and he fully sustain ed the enviable reputation made at his lirst visit. His impersonations and dialect readings show the skill of a master, lie is a real artist of expression. Dr. King will be warm ly welcomed to Laporte at any future time. During his lecture he alluded to tue establishment of a Summer, School at Laporte, and spoke in! high terms of Prof, Ford and I)r.; Bowlns with both of whom he is intimately acquainted.

Steel wagon roods, as advocated i by .Martin Dodge, State Itoad Com missioner of Ohio, are likely to have a thorough trial in several States this year, predicts the American Ai/ricultwiul. These roads consists of two rails made of steel the thick ness of boiler plate, each formed in the shape of a gutter five inches wide with a square perpendicular shoulder half an inch high, then an angle of one inch outward slightly raised. The gutter forms a conduit for the water, and makes it easy for the wheels to enter or leave the track. Such a double track steel railroad, 1G feet wide, filled in between with broken stone, macadant pize, woulo cost about 80,000 as against 87,000 per mile for a macadam roadbed of the same width, but the cost of a rural one-track steel road would be only about §2,000 a mile. It is claimed that such a road would last much longer than stono, and that one horse will draw on a steel track twenty times as much as on a dirt road, and five times as much as on a macadam, Urlng your estimates early and get low prices on Steel Wire Nails at Coles Hardware, Onshore, Pa. President Cleveland has ended the Democratic controversy over the two remaining Federal olHcee in this city by appointing James M. Beck to be United States District Attorney and ex-Congressman Reil ly, of Schuylkill, to be United States Marshal. Both appointments are fairly !iood,and both will emphasize the influence exerted by the man of the Democratic National Committee with the present Admin istration. Mr. Beck is Mr. Harrity's law partner, and no appointment could have been more significant unless it were that of Mr. Harrity himself. Mr. Reilly in his county I has been the representative of the Harrity end of his party, which will likely be strengthened there by the improvement of those opportunities which come in the way of a United States Marshal. Mr. Reilly was a candidate for District Attorney, in which ambition he has been disap pointed. The fact, however, that he abandons everything else lo ac cept a not particularly prominent Federal appointment is public notice of his belief that a Congressional nomination on the Democratic ticket in Schuylkill this year will not be worth having, aud he is right,— I'rcas. The Greatest In Fcuii») lv»ui». Wood's Wilkes Barrc Business College now lends the commercial schools in Pennsylvania. This great school has had a phenomenal growth The nineteenth century policy and up to date methods have attracted not only the young but the business and professional men, and this great school has an attendance surpassing any similar College in the State. The absorption of the old WilUes- Barre College leaves the institution without a competitor, and Prof. Wood is now on the sunny side of Easy street, with a business greater than any Commercial School east of Chicago. THe First Ballot at St. I.oni*. The Pittsburg Dispatch has print ed telegrams from all the States and Territories showing the Presiden tial preferences of Republicans, and with there dispatches as a basis it makes public un estimate of the first ballot of the St, Louis conven tion. Of this estimate Senator Quay says that it is far off from the actual existing situation. He thinks however, that McKinley will have about 800 votes on the first ballot. The Dispatch table is as follows: McKinley 835 Heed, 215 Morton 07 Allison 80 Quay 76 Cullom, 88 Bradley 2g Davis 22 Scattering, lfj Total, OCT It will take 359 votes to nominate and if Quay is correct, McKinley is likely to fall 159 votes short of a nomination on the first ballot. Thursday afternoon of last week, the greatest excitement in the his tory of Centre county, took place in the borough of Woodward, which is j ■situated in the extreme eastern end j of the above county near the line of J Union, thirty-six miles from Belle-j fonte nnd the nearest railroad sta-i tion is CoburD, a point eight miles! southwest of the scene of the ex- 112 citement. A desperado named Et-j inger shot Constable Barner, who j was attempting to serve a warrant upon him. Following the shooting I came a reign of terror, Etinger! locking himself iu the house and firing upon every one who appeared i in view. To capture the criminal it was necessary to burn the build ing in which he was located. When tho roof of the building was about j to eolapse Etlinger with his wife and two children stepped out, the children and wife ran in either direc tion, Etlinger firing three shots ut his wife, but missed his mark. His object in doing this is unknown. He then remarked to the Sheriff of j Centre county and his regiment of deputies that he would not permit them to take him alive, and placing a revolver to his head, fired and blew his brains out. The charge for which Etlinger was to have been arrested, was assault and battery. To Wbnt Did It Belong. Headers of the "Advocate" will doubtless remember that an account was published about three.years ago of the finding of huge bones in the excavation of the Lake Greeno dam. We stated that bones of an immense size had been unearthed, but none of them were brought to town. W. 11. Earl, who was at Lake Grceuo the first of the week, receiv ed one of these relies and brought it to town yesterday. It is a portion of a jaw bone. This bone was, be fore workmen broke it, three feet long. It held four teeth. Mr. Earl's specimen, which is now to be seen at the store of P. 11. Bajiglmm, will give an idea of the immensity of the entire member. This piece is appar ently the back part of tl.e lower jaw. A large piece, where the jaw con* nected with the head is missing; however, the piece 011 exhibition, which has undergone perfect petrifi cation, measures as follows: Length around largest part, 19J inches; around center and over top of tooth 1 Si inches; length of tooth, 3 inches. Now, the jaw bone, as it came from the ground, was three feet long and carried four teeth like the one measured here. To what sort of be ing this immenpo bone belonged re mains for our scientists to state. It was found 135 feet under ground, and this fact filiows clearly that centuries must have passed since it was de posited there. One or two other bones of huge proportion were nn earthed, probably belonging to the same animal. This is indeed a curiosity, and we should like to have it classed where it belongs. The relic is at Banghaiu's store. Will some of our local scientists tell us there views as to the thing ? We clip the above from the Lassen Advocate , published in Susanville, Lassen county, Cal. The paper was addressed to us by 11. W. Meylert of said place, and formerly of La» portc.
