Gansel of Hillsgrove visited his parents here over Sunday. Hon. M. J. Phillips of North Mountain visitedXaporte on Wed nesday. E. V. Ingham of Eagles Mere is recovering from a severe attack of gripp which confined him to his room last week. F. W. Ga'lagher, Thos. E. Ken nedy and F. M. Crossley journeyed to Williamsport on Wednesday to witness the boxing exhibition by Fitzsimmons and Jeffries. Atty. W. P. Shoemaker is attend ing the Masonic lodge dedication exercises at Williamsport this week. Laporte is represented at the M. E. Conference now in session at Al toona, by Rev. S. B. Bidlack and Miss Myrtle Bryan. James H. Gansel has secured the contract for erecting the abutments for the iron bridge near Hillsgrove, which will be constructed by the state. Mr. Gansel will commence work the first of April. Joseph Sunlen, a foreigner em ployed by the Union Tanning Co., was taken from here to the Will iamsport Hospital on Monday, suff ering with inflamation of the bowels. He died the day after arriving at the Hospital. Mrs. Esther M. Gregory, daught er of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Brewster, has entered the nurses training school of the Garfield Memorial Hos pital, at Washington, D. C., where she will take a three year's course in professional nursing. The notorious Mr. Rathbone and some of his friends among the Dem ocratic editors have construed the silver service presented to general Leonard Wood by the fashionable tennis club of Havana, as a bribe presented by a gamblers association. Michael McNellon Jr. left last week for Williamsport where he will assist his father in sprinkling streets this summer. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Cowell of Ber nice, and Mrs. Alice Cowell of South Branch spent a. few days last week with Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Cowell. It is estimated that, with no legal obstacles, it will be at least a year and a half before actual work can be gin on the Panama canal. A Chicago man has gone to court for an injunction to keep his wife from pulling his whiskers. Men of that kind have a remedy in their own hands, and that is better than whiskers in their wives' hands. It is, to shave. Mr. Ernest Frycklund a former pastor of the M. E. Church at this place, and who was for the past two years engaged in the mercantile bus iness in Patton, Pa., has accepted an appointment as pastor of a church in the Pittsburg conference and resum ed his ministerial duties again. Chas. Bryan of Forksville was do ing business at the county seat on Wednesday. Owing to the damage done to his farm by log driving he has found it necessary to sell his per sonal property and cease farming. He will engage in selling a new pat ent sprayer among the farming dis ricts of Sullivan and Bradford coun ties. A change in the W. A N. B. time table took effect on Monday which makes the north bound train No. 525 one hour later than formerly, and now arrives at Laporte from Halls at 9:27 a. m. This gives the patrons along the line as far as La porte the daily morning papers. The R. P. O. clerk makes his transfer to the South bound train at the La porte Station. The Rev. J. T. Bradford of the Baptist church of Barnesboro, Pa., and a former pastor of the Laporte Baptist church, is in very poor health, suffering with brights disease. Constant and watchful care is given him continually. He has resigned his pastorate and is not expected to live long. His many friends of La porte and Eagles Mere will be pain ed to receive so sorrowful news. He has their greatest sympathy as also his family. Carter Harrison is running for re election as Mayor of Chicago on a platform which provides for munic ipal ownership of traction, tele phone, gas and electric light plants. Were there not so many objections to Mr. Harrison personally, the re sult might be taken as an indication of the sentiment of the second largest city in the Union on this most im portant question. The electrical roads of the country have a nominal capital of $1,600,000,- 000, employ three hundred thousand persons who are paid $250,000,000 a year and run sixty thousand cars over twenty thousand miles of track. Ten miles of electrical track are building to one of steam. Rev. S. B. Bidlack who is attend ing the M. E. conference, writes : "Our conference convenes away out here in the great Allegheny Moun tain metropolis—Altoona. The Bth Ave. Methodists have erected a large church cathedral costing $66,000 which has been equipped for our daily sessions of this years confer ence. There are in my course of theological studies thirty young men now present taking examina tions. We hope to finish them to morrow. Our conference will last a few weeks. Our continuance in adding facili ties to the News Item equipment rankles most deeply in the breast of the Review man. Newell is alarm ed at our "abnormal growth of facil ities" and advises them cut off for the good of our health. The upshot of the whole matter is that our compet itors are beginning to realize the fact that the News Item office is the most complete and modernly equip ped in the county and our superior work and low prices prove the be neficent results of our investments, and the Review's continuance in advertising these facts but recalls the proverb of the bird that makes its own nest disreputable. As the Review phrazes It, our brain is a "negative quantity." Very likely. That is a substance not required in the newspaper business, which ac counts for Newell following the occupation. Many columns of the Review, however, have been wasted in a vain effort to establish a belief among Newell's reader that he is a very eligible quantity in a class which is hard up for eligible quan tities. His mental excellences would be more quickly recognized by the infrequency of his public utterances in relation to other people's affairs and his own expanded virtues. It seems to be pretty well settled that the new railroad from William sport to Binghamton will be via New Albany and not through Du shore. It it said that Dushore is to be left by the way side on account of the high price for the right of way throung that town. We believe that to build by the New Albany way will be a mistake for the company and for Dushore. If the owners of property want more for the right of way than the railroad feels that it can pay, we suggest it would be ad visable for town itself to raise the money. As the price of real es tate will be enhanced the property owners no doubt will be reasonable in their demands. Dushore is the chief business town of our county. A very large freight business would be done there, and it is clearly the interest of the railroad company to reach that point. On the other hand the new road would give the Du shore merchants a competing line and greatly increase their facilities. Taxing coal is only another way of making poor people poorer. It would be better to reduce the num- j ber of office holders and the salaries of those now in office. This rage for ' taxation and thirst for a new lot of officials is a bad sign and no credit to the State or nation. For sale or exchange.—A reliable 100 egg Incubator and a out-door brooder same make. Price for both, sls; cost $35 two years ago. LEON H. C. MINTZER, Ricketts, Pa. For sale.—one good road horse, harness and light spring wagon. For further particulars, inquire of J. M. ZANER, Laporte, Pa. For Sale. —One new carrage, 1 second hand lumber wagon, one bay horde 7 years old. Will be Bold very reasonable. W. L. IIcFKMAJf, Hillegrove.
