Ernest Lauer returned on Monday
from Philadelphia where he was en
gaged as a time keeper for a street
contractor. He will remain at home
during the coming summer.
The ice harvesters on Lake Mo
koma were compelled to end work
abruptly on Saturday on account of
rain. The unfavorable weather has
not permitted any further progress
and has made it impossible to prop
erly protect the crop already harves
ted. Messrs. Mason and Fox antic
ipate bad results from their invest
ment if the present conditions pre
vail much longer.
Owing to the increasing business
of the W. &. N. B. railroad several
changes have recently taken place.
Mr. Knipe has been assigned to take
charge of the Eagles Mere railroad
with office at Sonestown, and Mr.
Newman will assist Mr. Townsend
in the office at Hughesville.
The W. & N. B. railroad company
have opened a boarding house at
Satterfield for the accommodation of
their employes who are compelled to
secure their meals and remain over
night at that end of the road. Mrs.
Gal higher has charge of the house
and will see that her boarders are
well cared for. She will also serve
meals to the traveling plublic.
There is a report and the rumor
is well founded, that a wealthy com
pany has purchased all the wood
from the Union Tanning Co. which
can be converted into paper and will
erect a large paper mill at Wheeler
ville, near Shunk. The mill will
have a big outfit and will employ
about 300 men. It is expected that
the mill will make a kind of paper
that can be made from wood pulp.—
Canton Sentinel.
Postmaster Newman of Hughes
ville, and one of the interested stock
holders and directors of the new
weakly paper soon to be started at
that place, transacted business at La
porte on Wednesday and also made
the News Item a pleasant call.
Hughesville's new paper will have
unlimited capital behind'it, and will
be ablv edited by Mr. Schuyler, for
merly editor of the Williamsport
Evening News.
The tie vote between Amos Little
and Harry Fiester for auditor of La
porte township, resulted in the ap
pointment of E. C. Peters on Tues
day. Mr. Lyman Harvey being ill
was unable to be present at the Au
ditors meeting on Monday. The
work was postponed until Wednes
day when the accounts were adjust
ed by Messrs. Peters and Botsford.
Prosecutor, Morris Freman of To
wanda, and defendant Eugene Shaf
fer of Williamsport; appearances,
Meylert for prosecutor and Mullen
for defendant were the principals in
'Squire Heeler's court on Saturday.
The charge was that of obtaining
money by false pretense. The evi
dence was such to cause the defen
dant to effect a settlement.
The editor of the Review believes
he is telling the truth in saying that
the News Item must feel cheap and
ridiculous in giving half our space in
taking public notice of the Review
editor That journal guards with
jealous care any comment on its ed
itor, it seemingly desiring to reserve
this riglit exclusively for itself, and
as a matter of fact takes delight in
overworking the privilege by highly
inflating the paragraphs with exal
tations and flattery for its high chief.
No othir paper but the News Item
was ever known to lend assistance to
the Review in praising Newell and
he now admits it looked ridiculous
to Bje so much space thus wasted.

"Don't tell me any more that New
Torkera are not polite," chirruped the
young man wlio "takes a powerful
Bight of notice" to the old man who
reada as he ridea as the pair left an
elevated train. "Saw something a lit
tle while ago that convinces me there
are others besides blanket Indians on
the Manhattan reservation."
"What was it?" queried the man who
reads and sees nothing unless per
chance it be a vacant seat spotted afar
off over the top of his newspaper.
"You didn't notice it? Of course you
didn't. You were too busy forgetting
the fact that there were women in the
aisle of the car. It happened between
Ninety-third and Elghty-flrst streets,
and it almost made me feel that the
days of chivalry had returned. An old
woman was holding on a strap and
standing In front of a dapper chap
with a blase face.
"Step up farther In the center of the
car!' shouted the guard, and the old
lady was about to obey when the dap
per head opened and its owner gallant
ly said:
" 'Don't move, madam. I get off at
fifty-third street and Eighth avenue,
and If you'll wait you can have my
seat'
"Such gallantry on an elevated train
In New York almost brought moisture
to my eyes, and if I had had a baseball
bat I am quite sure that I could not
have restrained myself from bringing
moisture to that part of the blase face
which on the gridiron Is usually pro
tected by a rubber guard."—New York

Health Hakims Storm*.
What the tide does in the ocean of
water storms do In the ocean of air—
deleterious and poisonous germs are
removed or killed. The noticeable
smell of ozone after a thunderstorm
and the Increased bodily comfort are
well known. Storms, in the main, are
due to the action of our atmosphere In
resisting the escape of the radiant
heat. Even at the equator great cold
exists at the trilling height of four
miles above sea level, which Is reduced
to three during the night. One week
of continued night in the tropics would
lock them in the grip of eternal frost
and put an end to all life. Now and
again the upper fluid Is punctured, so
to speuk, and through the breach so
caused a downward rush with rotary
movement Is made till equilibrium is
again restored. Storms, therefore, are
essentially beneficent, both to health
and life. They reshape for use the
necessary life giving air and warmth
as earthquakes do the crust of the
earth.
What we ne«d la action. The glory
of the Lord depends upon thoae who
will take hold and move forward.—
