County Seat Indices.
AND GLANCES AT THE TIMES.
—Misses Alma Lauer and Martha
Ambrewster are visiting friends in
Dußois, Pa.
—M. A. Scureman, was at the
county seat Wednesday writing life
insurance.
—Mr. R. A. Conklin will make a
business trip to New York and Phil"
udelphia the latter part of this week.
—Joe Gansel has nearly recovered
from the outbreak of anthrax on
11is face, and was able to visit his
parents at this place, on Sunday.
—The tie vote between W. B. Bit
ter and A. J. Ilaekley for school
director was placed before the board
of directors to cast lots and resulted
in the election of Mr. liackley.
Dr. and Mrs. W. 11. Randall ar
rived at Laporte Tuesday from Wil
liamsport and are now settled com
fortably jn their new home on West
Main street.
—George Gorman, prior.to his de
parture for Tennessee will dispose of
his personal property at public sale
on his farm near Nordmont, Tues
day, March 11.
—A. B. Kilmer, Esc. of Sliunk,
was doing business a the county
seat Tuesday. The 'S jire is enter
ing upon his third term as justice of
the peace.
—John V. Finkle announces to
the patrons of his shoe repair shop,
that lie will continue to do business
at the old stand. His daughter Mrs.
Fraley, having moved to New Or
ange, leaves him alone in his large
residence, whic. 1 he is willing to
share liberally with a suitable
tenant.
—At a regular meeting of the
Borough Council Saturday evening
the new board was organized and
W. B. Bitter appointed secretary.
.Martin Gallagher was selected to
serve as street commissioner and
John Minnier for chief police.
—l)r. Rose Morgan, left Laporte
Wednesday for Warrensville, where
she will take a much needed rest
before locating for the practice of
her profession in Williamsport"
She was highly successful in her pro
fessional work in this locality, and
the alleviation of suffering humani
ty made heavy demands upon her,
to which she conscientiously attend
ed with marked ability and success.
Dr. Randall kindly proffered her a
position to asssist him in his large
practice, but with much regret she
deemed it necessary to decline the
offer. A host of friends unite in
wishing Dr. Morgan success and
prosperity in full measure in her new
field of labor.
—Scouten in his Herald last week
expressed the opinion that the Coun
ty expense for jurors is extravagant,
and that jurors should only be sum
moned once in six months. He say*,
"during the last six months we have
had only two and a half days Jury
Court."
It wasn't so when he was at the
liar. He could stir up trifiing crim
inal cases sufficient to employ jurors
from Monday until Saturday, and
the misery of it was that in many
of his cases the prosecutors and
defendants were alike irrespon
sibel. If the defendant was convict
ed he was immediately released
under the insolvent law and the
county paid the costs. If the defend
ant was acquitted, and cost put on
the prosecutor, he also was released
and the county paid the costs. Bus
iness was brisk then, and the county
debt rolled up fast. Soon after this
Scouten stirred up the judicial con
test and made business for the county
for about six months. That rolled
up the county debt a few thousand
dollars more.
If instead of grudging the jurymen
the few dollars they get, Scouten
will pay to the county the expense
of that judicial contest, the people
will think more of him.
' —Rev. S. B. Bidlack has been on
the sick list for the past few days,
" "*t is now convalescing.
—*.*»■• Us have been greatly delayed
the past week owing the crippled
train servce on all the roads.
—Mrs. Wm. Fraley and children,

Orange, X. J., where they will
make their future home. Mr. Fra
ley has been employed at that place
for the past several months, and ha«
decided to take up his permanent
residence there.
—Mercantile Appraiser .Tames H.
(jiansel is in the Western section of
the county this week on his fin sh
ing round. Owing to the imj iss
ablo roads he was unable to «. <m
plete the work at the usual appoint
ed time. The notices will apj ear
next week.
—Mrs. Susie Willson, widow of
the late Dr. Willson, on W ednes lay
moved from this place to her fo ni
er home at Warrensville. For the
past two years she has been it wel
come addition to the best soci ity
in Laporte, and a large circle of
friends express their best wishes for
her future welfare.
—The prompt censure by the Son
ate of the participants in the dis
graceful scene which violated its
dignity on the 22 of, February, and
the immediate intimation by the
President that one of the Senators,
who had been invited to dine with
Prince Henry, was no longer per
sona grata at the White House, is a
gratifying evidence of a higher
standard of decorum in the upper
chamber of Congress than prevailed
in the anti- helium days. No such
prompt retribution was nieted out
to the participants in the Foote-
Benton imbroglio nor to the assail
ant of Charles Sumner.
