Chas. Herman, a hrakeman on the ]

tible death Friday night between
Sonestown and Muncy Valley. The
train oil which he was employed
broke in two and coming suddenly '
together threw Mr. Herman beneath
the cars. He was standing between
two cars when the train broke. His
body was horribly mangled, his head
being severed from his body. The '
funeral of the unfortunate young man
was held at Iluglusville on Sunday.
A special train was run from Sat- :
terfield to Hughesville on Sunday 1
for the benefit of those wishing to
attend the funeral of Mr. Herman,
the unfortunate Brakeman. On re
turning at about Bp. m., owing to
an axle breaking on a freight car
attached to the train, the passenger
coach was thrown from the track, J
The passengers received a severe
shaking up and were badly frighten
ed. Among the number was Mrs. i
F. M. t'rossley of this place, who
fainted in the excitement and did
not regain consciousness until near
midnight after being hurried to her <
home on the locomotive which left
the train and took the passengers
aboard the tender. Mrs. Crossley is
slowly recovering from the shock
which caused a serious action of the
heart, extremely alarming to her
friends at the time.
For stile or rent. A desirable

Editor News Item.
Dear Sir:—l luive been much
impressed by the enumeration of
two hundred and fifty-tive (255) bills
upon which Sullivan County's Rep
resentative? failed to vote. After
reading over the whole list carefully,
I have .asked myself the question,
was Sullivan County represented in
the last State Legislature? Or are
we any better otf than -we would
have been had we sent no one to
Harrisburg?
I admit that his failure to vote on
so many and important issues have
puzzled me. The rmirdn show that
he was absent from the Capital only
one day; he >vas surely present then,
lie was not detained at home because
of sickness or other justifiable ex
cuse. He was in Harrisburg. Then
why did he not do that for which
he was elected? If any of the bills
were good, why in the name of all
that is reasonable did he not support
them? If bad, why did he not place
Sullivan County upon record as be
ing opposed to them?
Can it be that he desired to dodge
issues which demanded attention at
his hand? Can it be that lie was in
fluenced to neglect tie' duties lie
swore to perform? Can it be that lie
really did not understand what they
were all about and was afraid togo
on record either as favoring or op
posing them?
Whatever the reason, li< 4 cannot be
excused. We want no dodger as
legislator! We want no man, who
under the easily detected disguise of
Scouten Reform is present to vote
for what his patron, Scouten, calls
the most iniquitous piece of legis
lation ever enacted, but is absent
when 255 bills of importance are be
ing legislated upon.
What claim has lie for re-election?
He stands condemned by the very
man, who, like the weather vane,
lias now turned and works for his re
election.
II is record condemns him. We
want as representative a man with
enough intelligence to form an opin
ion and enough back-bone to assert
that opinion. We want a RKPKK
SENTATIVE!
In A. L. Dyer we have such a man.
A man of inteligence, courage, and
business ability of the highest order.
A man, who, if elected, will goto
Harrisburg ready to assist in the
conduct of the affairs of State, with
the same judgement, integrity and
ability which have enabled him to
achieve success for himself.
Albert Dyer's word is as good as
his bond. His integrity unquestion
ed, he stands the representative of
that push and pluck which has en
abled so many young men of Sulli
van county to acheive success.
Here's to the success of A. L.
Dyer!
One Who Knows Him.

RESULT OF REPUBLICAN RULE
Figure* From 'Official Sources Which
Cannot Be Denied —The Corporation
Taxes Help Every Township and
Village In the State Under the Re
publican System of Finances.
Harrisburg, Oct. 14. —Here Is a state
ment that is at once startling and
striking. It comes from official sources:
"There Is not a single county in
Pennsylvania which does not get di
rectly back from the state treasury
more money than the state collects
from all its citizens, excepting so far
as some of them may bfe indirectly
taxed as stockholders in banks, rail
roads and other corporations. The
largest excess repaid to the counties
goes to the less wealthy ones having
the smallest proportion of property
subject to state tax In relation to their
population."
SOME REPUBLICAN PACTS.
This Is a sample of what the Repub
lican party has done and is doing for
the pcoplp of Pennsylvania. It is only
one re;ison why Judge Pennypacker
should be elected and the Democrats
defeated, because they left a state debt
of $40,000,000 to be paid off by the other
fellows.
The following figures are taken from
official records here fn Harrfsburg.
They are given for the purpose of ex
hibiting more clearly the fact that the
people get back more than they pay
Into the state treasury. How is it
dons? The corporations pay the taxes.
What the individual citizen pays into
the state treasury is for liquor license,
mercantile tax, tax on money at in
terest, etc.
The first column in the following ta
ble represents the total amount paid
Into the state treasury from each
county from all sources, Including per
sonal property tax, tax on municipal
loans, collateral Inheritances, fees of
public offices, writs, wills, deeds, etc..
mercantile, liquor, billiard room, brok
ers, peddlers and other kind of taxes.
The second column includes the money
returned to each county from the state
in the shape of salary of judges, appro
priations for hospitals and other insti
tutions and for schools. The figures
are for the year 1900.

From this it appears that there is no
county in Pennsylvania which pays in
to the state treasury as much in taxes
as it receives back in taxes collected
by the state to be turned into the coun
ty treasury for the purpose of reducing
local taxation. In other words, under
the state tax laws enacted by the Re
publican party in Pennsylvania, the
corporations pay the entire expense of
carrying on the state government and
pay into the Btate treasury $7,481,484
besides, which is returned back to the
counties.
