Bennet have movad from this place to South Brook. Attv A. F. Heeas of Dushore, was in La + .e, on legal business Wed nesai Mr. niah Kelly of Ilughes ville, wu, a Laporte business man on .Tuesday. Mrs. PL V. Ingham of Eagles Mere, visited Laporte friends over Sunday. P. M. Crossley received painful injuries by falling from his lumber wagon, on Wednesday. Dr. C. D. Voorhees and wife, and merchant C. A. Starr of Sonestown, were Laporte visitors on Thursday. Walter Spencer of Williamsport, is visiting his grandmother, Mrs. H. 11. Spencer at this place. Walter tips the scale at 200 pounds, and car ries his extra avoirdupois in very neat proportions. A large force of men were called out Monday forenoon to fight fire that started in the brush near the Gansel farm. Before it could be brought under control it had reached Kohensparger's fields and some of his fences destroyed. Mr. Edward Schrader has moved his family to South Brook, near Lo pez, where he takes charge of a large bark peeling job for the Union Tan ning Co. Mr. and Mrs. Schrader extend a cordial invitation to all La porte friends to call at their summer home at South Brook. Howard Lyons made the county seat a business call Wednesday. Ilis usual jovial manner would indicate that he is not worrying over the fast disappearing profits to be made from an investment in a newspaper enter prise. The Hughesville Indepen dent is one of his treasured creations and he has every reason to feel very proud of such a newsy and creditable sheet as the Independent. Friday last Joseph Wrede of this place, Walter Lorah, of Sonestown, and Patrick Donahoe, of Dushore, took civil service examination at Milton for an appointment to the Annapolic Naval Academy. There were thirteen applicants and there will be one appointment made from this Congressional district this year and four next year. Mr. Ray Kessler, one of Nord mont,s most substantial citizens, has resigned the position of superintend ent of the acid factory of the Sutten, Peck Chemical Co., a place he has creditably filled for five years. He is also one of the owners of the grist mill and general store at Nordmont, and is interested in industries in IndiannaCounty which requires his personal supervision, and where he will make his future place of resi dence. Mr. Ernest Botsford suc ceeds Mr. Kessler as superintendent of the factory. Laporte Borough has a grievance. One that grows in seriousness and at once demands the attention of our councilmen. A privilege granted many years ago when the county seat was in its primative state to allow cattle to pasture upon the streets is now considered by some to be a public right. To fill the street with a constantly incresising herd of cattle, swine and horses to trample down ornamental trees, break up sidewalks and fences and destroy gardens and yards, and the worstof all, make liberal use of the sidewalks for purposes for which they were never intended and which seriously offends vision and decen cy is positively not right. We care not to probe this particular nuisance too closely for collectively they have already been punctured by pedes trians a sufficient number of times that everyone fully understands what they are without further suggestion. Unless the authorities have more pride in the administration of this village than has been the custom we must ever continue the abuse and annoyance of having our streets made similar to barn yards. In no other town in this county or state can such conditions be found. Why should Laporte which enjoys the distinction of being a county seat and also aspiring to become a sum mer resort be so miserably neglected by the authorities and so willingly taken advantage of by cattle owners ? We ask, why? j Jim Dumps had tried some time in vain TO ease aa after-dinner pain Which gnawed at him his belt below, And filled his world with indigo. -J. Dyspepsia now can't bother him, X.

The famous Grady-Salus libel bill is law. Now Mr. Publisher will you be good and follow the example of Georgie Washington. Laundry prices are said to be go ing up all over the country, but for tunately we had our shirt washed last week. Democratic editors who have lab ored so hard to prove the existence of a conflict of interests between Sen ator Hanna and the President, will have to guess again. This is the time of year when one wishes that the scientific gentleman who found the germ of laziness would hurry up and find the proper toxin. Laporte should be quaran tined. It is spreading badly and of a virulent kind, taking the strongest hold on the system mornings when rising. Three sensational stories regarding Miss Rosevelt have lately been wide ly printed. All were interesting but untrue. The papers printing them enjoyed large sales, which no doubt accounts largely for such a howl in certain newspaper circles over the Governor's approval of the new libel act. Governor Pennypacker on Tues day approved the Grady-Salus libel bill on which certain publications have been making much unfavorable comment since its passage. The News Item is not a bit worried over the situation. It is not in the libel ing business and in consequence is not in the least affected. So called modern journalism of late years has overestimated its freedom of speech. There is evidence enough that a hault must be called, and using the language of the Governor can no better explain the motives of this Act when he says:"This bill may not be the best possible legislation, but the purpose is commendable,and should experience show it to be de tective something better may be de vised. It ought to be cordially and cheerfully accepted by the reputable press, for they have a special inter est in its becoming a law. Where the tares occupy the ground the wheat perishes. It threatens them with no danger. Seeking to utter the truth and not the falsehood, what have they to fear ?" The press must now stop ita lying, at least in this State. We see nothing wrong in that. Papers will be little dry read ing for some with nothing but plain facts for news, and it may work some financial loss to the "red" kind, usually called "yellow." The Rev. S. B. Bidlack, formerly of this place, on Sunday last officia ted at the laying of the corner srone of the new M. E. Church at Maple ton, which is one of Rev. Bidlack's appointments. A. E. Timmerman, game and fish warden of McKean county, last week arrested Hon. A. J. Avery, Associ ate Judge of Potter County, for hav ing trout in his possession under six inches in size. He was fined SIOO which he paid. Lawrence Bros., who receutly bought the planing mill property of S. E. Sprout and Co., took charge on May Ist. The plant is being thor oughly overhauled and when the improvements are completed it will be one of the best planing mill plants along the river. The gentlemen comprising the firm are thorough business men and all orders intrust ed to their care will receive prompt and careful attention.—Muncy Lu minary.
