quirements, it was necessary to issue
one day early.
—Friend Avery, of Eagles Mere,

ed home at Eagles Mere.
—The greatest victory that the
American army has ever attained is
that accomplished against the forces
of diseases in our insular possessions.
In the case of Havana, once the hot
bed of tivpical epidemics, smallpox

yellow fever practically so.
—According to the census there

ably reported a bill to reorganize and

—Attorney General Elk in has fil
ed in the Dauphin county court ex
ceptions to the viewers who recom
mended that the State rebuild the
bridges over the Loyal sock creek at

creek, near Hiilsgrove. The ex
ception that he makes in both cases
is that the creek has never been de
clared a public highway, Elk nor
the Loyalsock at the point where
the bridges were washed away.
Our County Commissioners, most
likely will bring there claim before
the Dauphin county court, and it
will rest with that tribunal to deter
mine when a chartered stream is not
a chartered stream. The viewers
recommended $4,500 bridges to be
erected at both places.

china.

ses this year. Gen. Manager S. D.

believes in the teachings of the Good
Book and has no doubt attached his
faith to some of these passages:
Numbers 20:18: "Thou shalt not
pass." Isaiah 34:10: "None shall
ever pass." Judges 3:28: "Suffer
not a man to pass." Nahum 1:15:
"The wicked shall no more pass."
Mark 13:30: "This generation shall
not pass." John 1:3: "So he paid
his fare and went.".

mittee met at the courthouse Mon

Magargel. Frank Lusch was elect
ed Secretary and the Committee
completed their work with the re
apportionment of Representation in
county conventions, giving Cherry
two additional delegates, Dushoro
and Forks each another representa
tive. Democratic conventions have
at times gone averse to the wishes
of certain ones. This had ought to
fix it.
