Dushore.

home Monday from Williamsport,
where she had been attending Potts
Shorthand College.

ville, Wednesday morning to spend
several days with relatives at that
place.
—Mrs. William Montgomery, who
lives lear Laporte, had the misfor
tune to sever the end of one of her
little fingers, Wednesday morn
ing while in the act of closing a
large pocket knife belonging to her
husband.
—Saturday last, at Benton, fire
consumed the coal dock owned by
H. F. Everett, entailing a loss of
$1,500 to that gentleman. How the
fire started is not known, but it is
supposed to be of incendiary origin.
—General Funston, who was re
cently operated upon in the Phillip
pines for appendicitis, will soon be
given leave of absence and return to
the United States to recuperate.
According to advices, the general is
recovering rapidly.
Carrie Nation, the Kansas smash
er, will pay Williamsport a visit,
says the Sun. Whether she has
heard of any Williamsport "joints"
that she thinks should be token care
of, or whether her mission is one of
peace, has not yet developed. But
one thing is certain —she will be
there some time next week. If
there-are any holes-in-the-wall there
they had better keep a sharp look out
for Carrie and her hatchet; for the
smasher has the reputation of drop
ping in on such places without warn
ing, or waiting for the formality of
an introduction.

Seth Low Defeats Tammany.
Tammany has been defeated in
New York, and for the next two
years that city will be under a Re
publican administration, with Seth
Low at the head. The exact figures
by which Boss Crocker and his or
ganization are to measured are not
obtainable. But even the Tamma
ny leaders admit Low's election by
a plurality of 30,000. It is proltable
that the official count will show
Shepard's defeat by a much larger
majority.

The Democratic party in this coun
ty has shown that it will not con
sent to be used as a tool l>y one man.
The vote shows that the party is
tired of Scouten and Walsh; as he
run decidedly behind his party vote
in every democratic district. \\ alsh
made surprisingly large gains in
Fox and Elkland, but these two
townships are alone in Walsh's big
gains.
Nelson Cox made a good showing
and he has reason to feel proud of
his endorsment in his home districts.
His vote in Bernice shows that Sul
livan county would have made no
mistake in electing him.
James Deininger's vote was an
endorsement of him where best
known, and against almost any
candidate except Thos. E. Kennedy,
would have been elected. Mr. Ken
nedy has a strong personal following
which could not be overcome, and
he owes nothing to the boss for his
election.
State Gives a Big
Republican Majority.
AS LARGE AS TWO YEARS AGO
Republicans Sweep the City
of Philadelphia.
Republican counties show major
ities about as large as two years ago,
when Barnett had 110,000 plurality.
Nearly every Democratic county
shows a loss. Fusion proved a very
disastrous experiment. The esti
mate so for received, with compu
tations on others based on the last
State election, indicate a majority
for the Republican ticket of about
100,000.
—Dr. E. J. Gray, president of
Dickenson Seminary, announced
last week that, by order of the board
of directors, all fraternities at the
school must be abolished. Dr. Grey
denounced the fraternities detrimen
tal to the advancement of the i/.'pils
in literary knowledge. "The sole
object," he said, is for feasting. It
is sometimes the ease that a member
desires to obtain an official position
within the gift of the Seminary.
Then the fraternities are used for
electioneering purposes, and the
members usually take more interes
in that kind of work than study,
which results in much harm.
Last Sabbath was a victorious day
in the M. E. Church for the aged
people. By previous announcement
Rev. Bidlack invited the public and
especially the old folks of our com
munity to attend a special program
which he spared no time to prepare
for their benefit.
The church edifice was gorgeously
decorated and festooned with ever
greens, flowere, ferns and many
kinds of vegtables. The rocking
chairs for the aged people, and the
pumpkins, squashes, apples and
corn gave to the room a puritan ap
pearance that resembled a home of
our early fathers when log cabin
were considered mansions. And
fruits were prepared for the long
winters by drying them on strings
and racks. The most impressive
adornment was a beautiful cross
trimmed in deep green runningvine,
and hung above the pulpit. The
old fashioned "Love feast" was ad
ministered by the pastor in the
morning at 0:H0 lasting an hour.
The choir sang two beautiful se
lections prepared for the occasion,
and old familiar hymns were sung
with feeling. Rev. E. G. King of
Williamsport, preached a strong
sermon on"The Holy Bible our
safe guide." And administered the
Holy Communion.
The attendance was large.

Virginia Forest Fires.
Roanoke, Va., Nov. 1. —Forest fires
are now raging along the slope of the
mountains In Tazewell county be
tween Graham and Flat Top Yards,
and owing to the fast falling leaves
and the absence of rain for several
weeks the flames are fed by ample
fuel to cause great alarm. The entire
mountain is a sheet of flame, and a
vast amount of fine timber and fencea
have been burned up or ruined.
