Both ladies showed marked ability in their line of art and measured fully up to the ex pectation of their hearers. Laporte would gladly welcome this musical and literary treat at any future date. —At the home of Mr. W. J. Law rence, Monday evening was given a delightful lawn social by the Misses to their many friends and associates of Laporte. Large lights, flowers and evergreen decorations added beauty and art to the green lawn, which was graced with wick er chairs and seats. Although oblig ed to resort to the parlor# of the house tai-ause of the storm, yet no pleasure was lost, for humorous games, guessing contests, jokes, mu sic and songs kept a continual and hearty laughter, known only to a jolly concourse of young people, reigning throughout the evening. Ice cream, cake and other delicacies were served. Near the close of the entertainment, the subject of an or ganization of a Literary Society, for for the young people, of Laporte, 1 was very profitably and encourage ingly discussed. Each of the thirty one young ladles and gentlemen, as they departed for their homes, heartily expressed their appreciation and gratitude for the excellent time and high order of entertainment given them. —The Laporte Lumber Company operating at Jakersville in the man ufacture of turned articles has dis solved partnership and John J.Web ster has purchased the interests of Messrs R. J. Yothers, ll.N.Nell'and Austin Rainey, and enters into par tenership with M. A. Rosencrants of the former company. The busi ness will be conducted under the same name of the old company. The Philadelphia Inquirer of Mon day published a two column cut of Miss Ina Osier showing her in ' .ie act of holding a fugitave priso .er captive on top of a fence wl re she caught John Kirk, who "s --caped from the jail several d ys ago while plumbers were at work on the jail and neglected to give it pr..per care when going out. Miss Osier seeing the prisoner running from the jail started in pursuit, caught a firm hold on him and clung on like a porous plaster until assistance arriv ed. Miss Osier is now figuring quite conspicuously in the press for her bravery and prints her statement of the incident as follows: "I reached the fence just in time to catch hold of his leg as he was about to drop down on the opposite side, and 1 hung onto that leg like grim death. I knew if my bold loosenened lie would escape. I was a little frightened when he threaten ed to kill me, but I was determined to hold onto him until help came, lie reached down several times and struck me in the face and threatened to kill me if I did not let go, but I held fast until assistance came." Two young ladies who are attend ing the Summer School were doom ed to remain in the town of Laporte over Sunday. <>n Saturday after noon they saw their landlord start out equipped with fish pole and basket and without waiting for an invitation Misses May and Bessie took the opportunity togo fishing and started for the scene of encounter. They cast their line and sat by the water's edge waiting long and patiently. At last a bite came ; it was a bass and it was pulled out in triumph. By and by there was a pull on the other ladies' line, she hauled it up, and horror of horrors, there was a cat fish. Then a lively scene took place. Both were afraid to take it from the hook. At length the last mentioned lady summoned courage, wrapped .her hand iu the folds of her skirt and removed Mr. Cat Fish. After debating long and earnestly on what to do with it they finally made a basket of a hanker chief and entombed the future break fast therein. After eating heartily of it they were unable to get to school early Monday morning. * * Bonestown. R. S. Starr is home from Will iamsport Commercial College.
