—Our friend and good paying sub
scriber Henry llufl'master made this

with 8.C.1t. Kschinka who enlisted
in our army of readers.
—The fishing season opened on
the Kith, owing to the fact that the
1 ">th came on Sunday. Nevertheless
some of the too ardent disciples of
Izaak Walton baited hooks and cast
lines on the good day.
—Glorious weather on Easter was
greatly appreciated by the inhabi
tants ot this cold section. The sun

all nature seemed to rejoice and put

—Mr. Shopbell, of the firm of

will make work and restore pros
perity.
—Otto P. Behr of Lopez and

ITEM extends congratulations to
the happy couple.
—Secretary Gage has notified
Congress that the revenues for the
next fiscal year will be some S7O,
000,000 in excess of the expenditures
unless some abnormal expenses be
incured. If possible, some action
will be taken to reduce taxation,
but if this has to be postponed to
next session, the country will at
least have the consolation of k now
ing that a surplus is better than a
deficit with an issue of bonds to
save the Treasury from disaster.
—The Ganuski family at the Tan
nery who have been a town charge
on this Borough for some time past,
moved to Scranton last week where
several of the well grown children
have found employment. Their
worthy example might well be fol
lowed by other charges who are idle
and apparently haye more than some
self respecting citizens who support
themselves and pay outlandish taxes
to the poor fund.
—The Lake Mokonia Land Co.
have advertised the lake and sur
rounding land in their possession at
public sale on May 2. It is rumored
that a syndicate composed of pro
fessional medical men are contem
plating the purchase of this property
and develope it into a large sanitor
ium. Dr. Heberton of Hughesville
who has a cottage near the lake and
enjoyes the climate there with in
vited guests whenever his business
permits, is loud in his praise of the
lake and the climate which he has
found to be highly invigorating and
of the kind most desirable for an in
valid or over-worked person in re
cupiating. If the above mentioned
syndicate should make the purchase
it is an assured fact that Lake Mo
konia will have her natural resources
developed.
—The audience that heard Web
ster Davis lecture on the Boers in
Washington last Sunday night was
not composed of anti-administration
men who took up the cause of the
Boers only in order to attack the
President. On the contrary, it hiss
ed down all anti-administration
remarks and applauded only the
parts of the speeches that dealt with
the Boer question alone. Jn other
words, it was a republican audience
and it showed plainly that the
Democrats have no monopoly of
sympathy with the Boers in their
struggle for independence, even
though they do not see what the
United States can do about it.

A Large and Harmonious Gathering of
Party Representative!.
Monday's Republican county con
vention held at the Court ] louse was
perfectly harmonious throughout
and its work was performed with
promptness aud dispatch. The at
tendance of delegates was almost
complete and the voting at the pri
maries in many districts was large,
which goes to prove the. great inter
est taken in party affairs in the
county.
The convention was called to'order
by County Chairman F. I'. Vincent,
at 2 p.m. John W. Rogers Esq., of
Forksville was elected to preside
over the convention. M. C. Mereur
of Eldredsville, and Dan Schonover
of Berniee were chosen vice-presi
dents. The secretaries were F. 11.
Ingliam, Vernon Hull and J. J.
Teevan.
Voting was all done by acclama
tion, there being no contesting for
honors. Chairman Vincent was the
unanimous choice for re-election by
virtue of the excellent manner he
conducts the duties of his office.
The convention acted wisely in their
choice of Walter L. Hoffman as del
egate to state convention, and R. 11.
Guy as alternate. Congressional
conferees are Robert C.lt. Kschinka,
and Ulysses Bird who have the
power to choose their alternates.
The county delegates who so ably
took part in this convention and up
on whom will rest the grave respon
sibility of naming a county ticket
that is able to win at the polls and
one that will net cause dissension
within the rank and file of the party
are as follows:

House at Laporte, at a time to be

Cncle Sum will accept the Del
agoa Bay award rather than give
arbitration a black eye by rejecting
it. Yet the affair furnishes only
one more proof that arbitration is
not practicable where continental
Europeans are the judges. These
will always disregard abstract jus
tice and strike an average between
rival claims.

Where it is Not Necessary to Examine
Goods.
A Laporte lady remarked, but
yesterday, that she thought Retten
burys the most reliable place to buy
from she ever knew, as it was not
necessary togo to the store antl ex
amine what you bought; simply send
your order and the amount you want
to pay, his judgment never fails in
sending what will please you, the
goods will be reliable and exactly
what he tells you. Twenty years
experience, as he says in his adver
tisement, has enabled Mr. Itetten
bury to make all repairs to watches
and clocks in a thorough workman
like manner to which the NEWS
ITEM and his many patrons can tes
tify. lie will tell you what the
cause or trouble is with your time
piece and the price at which it can
be properly repaired and regulated
so as to be reliable.' As every one
knows, a watch or clock that does
not keep correct time is 110 ornament
but a source of vexation. Many
people would be glatl to pay a few
dollars a year to have their time
pieces kept in order, but they don't
know that J. V. Rettenbury is a
competent horologist.
