Scurinan of Dushore was in town Thursday of last week. Miss Hattie Lawrence of Dushore is visiting friends in town, Mr. A. P. Wieland of Nordirtont, was a business man in town Wed nesday. Mr. S. F. Colt and family of Buf falo, N. Y., are guests of Mrs.Ann Meylert. Mr. and Mrs. Win. Cheney have returned to LaPorte after several days visit with Benton friends. Atty. E. J. Mullen and wife are taking an outing at Atlantic City this week. M. E. Keeder is in the South looking alter his lumber interests in that section. Mrs. 11. T. Downs, after spend ing several weeks in Williamsport, has returned to this place. Miss Jessie Hornet of Wyalnsing was the guest at the home of her uncle, Judge Ingham, last we"k. Mr. William Storniont and fam ily of New York are taking their usual summer vacation at this place The guests of Mr. and Mrs. Kobt. Storniont. Mrs. Nancy Kochenfijwirger who has been in very feeble health for the past several months, remains in an unchanged condition. The Democratic congressional conference met at Laporte Thurs day and placed in nomination ('has. Dickerinan of Milton, for long term and A. Billmyer for short term. The social held at the home of Mrs. E. I'. Ingham, Tuesday even ing by the Episcopal Church (Juild was largely attended. The home was beautifully decorated with Japanese lanterns, and various games made the evening enjoyable to all present. Ice cream, cake, coffee and candy were the stock in trade, while music and fortune tel ling also added to the receipts of the evening which amounted to over S")0. "After crying 'Boss Scon ten' for three full years the News Item of last, week declared that lie was not successful in landing a single candidate.' Should he be charac- j terized 'a boss' since he bosses nothing, as admitted by the News] Item? Please explain, Mr. Wing." j Sullivan Herald. The fact that the''Boss" did not boss is not an unheard of thing by any means. There are basses and bosses and Boss Scouten was one of the bosses who was not success ful in landing a single candidate last year. Hard luck. (letting too well known. Rev. Alvin Williams, Pastor of the M. K. Church at Picture Hocks. Pa. will fill Rev. S. B. Bidlack's appointments next Sunday. He will preach at Cherry Grove near Nordinont. at 2.150 P. M.and at Lal'orte in the evening at M o'clock. The Herald credits us with hav ing good business ability and wants' us to tell them the secrets of our j success and also demands a straight i forward answer to his question: j "If the auditors of Laporte twp. i were able to secure better rates' from the Herald than elsewhere, ! did they not manfully discharge their obligation to that municipali ty by accepting the best rate obtain-j able." Most assuredly they did. j If a man is obliged to make an ass i of himself, it is best he should afford a little profit to others while doing so. In our experience we have learned that as yet the miracle of commercial success by selling a product for less than it cost to pro | duce it has not been revealed to j the gentiles up to the time of going !to press. Happy to say the News I Item does not have to practice such | methods to get business. While! ! our prices are moderate our work I excels. It cannot be imitated jit Sullivan county. That's the I secret, and we don't care wlioj ; knows it. FORKSVILLE. John Randall and H. 1). Lancaster I were at Dushore Sunday.

Hiram J. Smith, 1 Hitter known as "Bird," who was living with his brother, Harry Smith, near Xordmout. while trying to shoot a squirrel with a revolver accidently shot himself through the head near the temple, early Saturday morn ing. lie lived until the following morning without gaining conscious ness. Dr. Randall was called and dressed the wound, but slight vitality could he restored by the use of hypodermics. Coroner R. J. MeHenry held an inquest ami selected for his jury M. D. Horn, Glen Peterman, H. C. Arms, N. 1». Hess, K. C. Peters ami Andrew Small who decided that the shooting was accidental by his own hand. The accident occured in a work shop where squirrels were frequent ly found and had been previously hunted by Biid The manner in which the ball penetrated the plate of the building after passing through his head shows that he was standing upon a saw-horse,and the supposition is that he must have lost his balance and in some careless manner discharged the weapon in trying to save himself from a heavy fall. Mr. Smith was a single man 27 years of age and was well respected. He leaves a mother and three brothers to mourn his loss. The funeral was held at the Evangel - ical church at Nordmont on Mon day afternoon ami his remains laid to rest in the Cherry Grove cem etery. Carl, the little son of Franklin Mullen of Millview, met with a shocking accident last week. In company with another small boy who was driving a colt that l>e came unmanageable and started to runaway, Carl thought to save himself by jumping from wagon, and fell with such force as to break his leg. the bone penetrating the tlcsh and running into the ground where he fell. The boy was sent to theSayre Hospital. Scouten's paper litis been teach ing law by questions and answers for some time, but there seems to l»e some law which the teacher needs to learn,and therefore we will post him in thiswise:— Question- What is embracery ? j Answer. The offence consists j in any attempt to corrupt or in fluence any juror by endeavoring | either in conversation or by writ-1 ten communication, or by per suasion, promises or entreaties, or! by any other private means to bias j the mind or judgment of suchj juror, as to any case pending in the court to which such juror has l>een summoned, except by the i strength of evidence, or arguments; of his counsel during the trial. Question. What is the penalty for the offence of Kinbracery 112 Answer. A line not exceeding five hundred dollars, or imprison ment not exceeding one year, or both or either at the discretion of the Court. Question. What is the pertin- j ency of this information ? Answer. In Scouten's news paper last week there was publish ed the names of the jurors sum moned for Septeml>er court, who are expected to try the case of Com monwealth vs J. G. Seouten for Malicious Libel, and in the same paper there was an editorial stating that Judge Kraus had not com menced this prosecution of his own j violation, but that he had stated to James H. Gansel,"that he was] compelled to prosecute Mr.Scouten for libel ;that his friends compelled him to do it,"and further that he j had told M. D.Conner, "lie did; not wisli to push the prosecution, ; and was desirous of stopping it." The lips of Judge Kraus areelos-: | ed by death, The rules of evidence j j prevent any witness from testify-j nig in court as to his statements, j j hut in this manner falsehood can i be made to reach jurors l»efore the; I trial. The inference draw n by j Seouten that Judge Dunham is the ! parent of the prosecution is false, | and can l>e so proven; hut we are i not upon that branch of the case, now. Mr. Seouten ought to be j thankful for the lesson contained lin this article, but he may prove I ungrateful. Eagles Merc Nomenclature. It is often said that "a Hose by any other name would smell ac sweet" hilt while* it is sin accepted proverb it is not <|uite correct. At j least we would hardly think so. II ! u lot of Americsin Beauties and Alar ■ eehal Niels were referred to as the Smiths or the Browns the text would I scarcely seem a.s poetic and the fancy j would be that something was want ing even in the perfume. Though nature has been lavish in creating the attractions of our sur rounding we have been strangely lacking in the co-operation that should give euphonious names to definite locations. "The Three Mile Drive" or "The Four JMile Drive" certainly have nothing poetic in their tith-s and no suggestion of scenic beauty. "The Outlet" would never stir the soul of the idealist nor furnish materials for a Poets Dream as does the winding stream itself. While the family record is a wor thy one "Biggers,s" does not im press the imagination and "Bole Bridge Bun" is not much better. Nothing invidious is meant in these suggestions but only a sincere at tenip to cali attention to a direction in which we are certainly lacking. With a country full of attractions to the pedestrian, tin' rider anil the driver we are utterly at a loss to di rect our visitors intelligently because localities are without names and roads are not indicated by sign boards nor are our people prepared to act as conductors or guides and tell intelligently the stories of our vi cinity. There is nowhere available a bright boy or young man that is able or willing to entertain a party on a tramp so as to make the most out of it for their pleasure. Not a single street or road in Eag les Mere or vicinity has a name board for the direction of our thous ands of visitors, neither of the hotels has on it a sign except Hotel Eagles Mere. No pointers are provided to facilitate the rambles of the walkers. Excepting a list in the ottice of the C'restmont the writer has seen no effort to inform guests of points of interest. Mr. Warner is entitled to credit for an attempt in the direct ion of sign boards but most of them have either disappeared or become illegible. Remembering that more than five thousand different individuals come here every summer, many of them for the first time and large numbers for only a day or two, it is to be de plored that something is not done to assist them in getting the most pleas ure out of their time. We who live here know all we need to know to get around but the fact is that but few of us know enough to direct the anxious inquirer. of course it may be said that peo ple will come to Eagles Mere any how but it is possible to be over con fident and at any rate we should feel that we are all materially concerned in keeping up the march of progress and learning the problem that it is only by adding to the comfort and pleasure of our guests that we can expect prosperity to abide perma nently with us. It ought to be pos sible that every one of our resident population he full of business during the summer in looking after Un people and their wants and that we should be just as busy all the rest of the time getting ready for the next season. In nothing does it seem to the writer is the lack ifiore striking than this want of names and then provid ing signs to indicate directions and localities. With Princeton, Lafay ette, Lehigh, Bucknell, I'niversity of Pennsylvania, Yassar, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Wellesley and all the others of both sexes so abundantly represented in our sum mer crowd it ought only to be nec essary to call attention to this need to set the inventive faculties to work for appropriate names and then the local authorities shoud see to it that sign boards were liberally supplied. It may only be fair to say that a number of the Chautauqua streets are already provided with signs but at no point except the new railroad station is there anything to Indicate to the stranger that lie is in the Chautauqua grounds.
