—Scouten who sacrificed both 1).
F. McCarty and George Craft to get
his man nominated for Associate

place, represented the Coal Com
pany. J. T. Lenahan and J. 1).
Shea, of Wilkesbarre, were employ
ed to defend the miners. The case
now stands on record as "argued C.
A. V." This means that the Judge
will ponder over it for a time and
render a decision at some future day.
—Mr. anil Mrs. John Reynolds, of
j Washington State, are the guests of
T. J. Keeler and family.
In viewing the political field Boss
Scouten but simply looks into a re
flecting surface. Is it any wonder
that he gets frantic over the con
dition and attains a s-tvage ambition
toward "machine" nominations and
"bosses."
—Mr. Ernest Hegel, who for the
past ten years was bookkeeper for
the Union Tanning Co. at this place,
tendered his resignation several
weeks ago and has accepted a like
position with M. B. Brown A- Co.,
of New York City, who conduct a
large printing establishment. Mrs.
Hegel and daughter left Laporte last
week for the city where they v. ill
make their future home, and win re
the best wishes of many friend
follow.
—The new stave factory und-r
course of erection at this place is
now reaching that stage where evt ry
day make noticeable anvancemeiit.
The engines have been placed and
masonry bedsand the boiler inclosed
in an arch. The large,solid concrete
kiln is complete and a substantial
foundation ready for the buildings.
The railroad switch was completed
last week and lumber is arriving
daily for the carpenters who will be
at work in a few days.
—Boss Scouten seeing that it is his
misfortune to be far from popular
with his yellow paper through which
he has continually attacked the char
acter of honorable citizens, now seeks
to class the News Item as "yellow"
to drag it down to the level-of
the Herald. Having a sense of de
corum which is beyond the compre
hension of its assailant, the News
Item has ever declined to follow
Scouten's indecent examples. His re
fusal to allow the flag to float from
his yellow journal building forms a
fitting crown to a long list of enor
mities.
—The success of NELSON COX for
Sheriff means an honest, trustworthy
man to fill that very important office,
lie is eminently qualified for the
place, for the very reason that the
convention that nominated him did
not have to select a candidate from
three or four seeking the nomina
tion. lie was selected from the rank
and tile of the county for his merit
and qualifications. Show your good
patriotism by electing such men to
office—those not seeking the office,
but the office seeking them a 11.
(Jet together gentlemen.
—AII attachment was issued last
week against John (i. Scouten for
contempt of court and a hearing was
had before Judge Dunham 011 Tues
day. It seems that an injunction
had been issued against Scouten to
restrain him from building a barn
close to the dwelling house of Lucas
Steafather, in Lopez, and Steafather
claimed that Scouten bad violated
t ie injunction by going 011 with the
building after the injunction was
issued. Scouten testified that lu
had not gone 011 with the building
in the manner which Steafather
complained. Judge Dunham refus
ed to hold him for contempt. The
equity case will be heard 011 Satur
day. Steafather, in his paper book,
claims that Scouten's barn will be
within less than three feet from his
house at the foundation, this would
makefile two roofs about connect.
—Scouten's Herald last week asks,
"Do you want a clean man or a ma
chine man for Associate Judge," and
then has the audacity to add, "vote
for James J. Walsh." Let the peo
plt- of Sullivan county decide be
tween the two candidates for Associ
ate Judge as to which is the machine
candidate, in this as everything
else Scouten is inconsistent, and ex
tremely so. 111 the same issue he
says that John I), lteeser is not a
Republican because he would not
vote as Chairman Vincent wanted
him to vote, and that Vincent is the
machine, etc., etc.
The genuine machine candidate is
J. J. Walsh, and Scouten is the "ma
chine" by which lie got his nomina
tion. Why did Scouten give him
the nomination over such repre
sentative men of Sullivan county as
Ralph Litzelman and Anthony
Hohy? Was it because he was a
better qualified man ? Was it be
cause he has more ability to do the
business? Was it because he had
more honesty? Was it because he
had more friends ? Or was it be
cause lie was "Scouten's man."

The newspapers of our surround
ing counties are publishing reports
that Sullivan county has not enough
teachers to open its schools this fall.
The cause is due to the wrong course
our School Hoards are pursuing
which will make us sutt'er In life later
on. They are permitting our eoni
petentjteachers with permanent State
certificates and years of experience
and learning, go out of the county
and far away from home to teach
school, much to the displeasure of
the teachers, and are hiring boys to
till these vacancies because they can
secure them for twenty-live dollars
per month to open and close the
school room and keep up ttres. This
poor management in school work
should solicit from the taxpayers a
little interest at least on their part
in the educational work of their
c«,unty. They ought to make great
er demands from the School Hoards.
For the future welfare of our county
depends entirely upon the character
and abilities of our boys and girls
w ho are now in the school room.

The following resolutions \v<r
passed by a committee appointed I>\
the Christian Sunday School upon
the death of Mr. Harry A. Karns,
who departed this life Sept. 21 1001:
Wiiekkas, ,In view of the loss ui
have sustained by the death 'of our
friend an<l class-mate, Mr. Harry A.
Karnes, and by the still heavier loss
sustained by those who were nearest
and dearest to him, therefore be it
Resolved, That though he has
crossed the Valley of Death and join
ed friends who have preceded him to
that land where sickness, sorrow and
death cannot enter, yet we would
not murmur, for we know he has ex
changed suffering for joy, and labor
for reward. Let us seek to be ready
as he when the Master calls.
Resolved, That we sincerely con
dole with the family of the debased,
on the dispensation with which it
has pleased Divine Providence to af
flict, and commend them for consola
tiontoHim who doeth all things
for the best, and whose chastise
ments are meant in mercy.
ltesolved, That a copy of these
heartfelt testimonials of our sympa
thy and sorrow be forwarded to the
bereaved family, and that the same
be published in the Rcnton Ai«;rs
and Laporte News Item, and lie en
grossed upon the minutes of our
Sunday School.
