Arthur Miner of Bernice, called
on Laporte friends on Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Bennet have

on .Tuesday.
Mrs. PL V. Ingham of Eagles

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?

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

appointments.
A. E. Timmerman, game and fish
warden of McKean county, last week
arrested Hon. A. J. Avery, Associ

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
