An uncommonly well-designed booklet descriptive of Eagles Mere and its various hotels is sent by the Eagles Mere Railroad Company. It is very attractive externally and be sides the valuable information found in the interior there is added life to artistic composition. We extend thanks for the copy received. Randall and Meylert are putting in a large engine at their mines near Bernice. The engine will take the place of the mules heretofore used in drawing cars out of the mine, and will also run the steam pumps they have recently put in. Thorough preparation is being made for a large volume of business the coming season. The excellent train service on the W. AN. B. road made it possible for Attys. Meylert and Mullen after hoeing their gardens Tuesday morn ing to make a journey to Wilkes Barre, argue a case befor Judge Wheaton and retured home for sup per the same day. This could have been done had the hearing been in Towanda or Williamsport. Who wants better service ? A desire on the part of the News Item to have the county seat of Sul livan county enjoy a better reputa tion for having cleaner streets can not be too heartily commended by property owners of this village in particular and throughout the county In general. These results can only be accomplished through the Boro. Council refusing to allow cattle to pasture on the streets. Side walks can then be kept clean and in good repair, and many of the unsightly fences removed. Since mention was made of this growing evil in our last issue one of our public spirited coun cilmen has shown considerable in terest in the subject. An extra copy , of the paper was purchased and the ' Jin Dump* gued out on sidewalk* hot HpyWai And looked in nin for one cool spot; % P jji ytrm?

His announced pur pose comes at a time when a mtyor ity of the property owners are more than unusually impressed with the need of such a move. Before Laporte can hope to bloom into a lustrous summer resort it must first polish up and put on an attractive appearance. Nature has done wonders for this locality along the lines of a summering place for worn humanity in search for comfort, health and vigor, but neglectful in habitants have done much to mar dame nature. Besides remedying the barnyard nuisance come other needed reforms which can be begun at once. One is to stop the dumping of back yard refuse, the most noticable be ing tin cans, old shoes, odorous linen and decayed vegetables, close along the road side adjacent to the Boio. limits and even along the streets within the Borough. The only way to keep the streets clean and looking healthful is to insist upon a more careful method of disposing of such unsightly refuse as is seen along the road way leading to the Cold spring. A delightfully shady pathway in that locality is obliterated and made almost impassable with such filth. It is only the result of carlessness and want of pride which can be rem ided if orders come from the right quarter. It is a vile practice and should be stopped at once. A com mittee ought to be placed in charge of its immediate removal. The real estate owners of Laporte who take pride in their property and have hopes of a brighter future for the county seat should no longer delay in petitioning the council for relief and demand that our streets be made presentable. If the Council be prone to action as heretofore, these instances of neglect can be greatly remedied by refrain ing from using the streets as a recep tacle for dirt. The result will fully justify the effort. Let us have a change, if for nothing more than a gamble with a change of luck. Communication. Philadelphia, Pa., May 10, 1903. My Dear Mr. Wing: Will you kindly allow me to thank the good people of Laporte for their defence of our summer home against the forest fires last Saturday and Sunday ? In the near future there may be a way to make these thanks in a more material manner. It has been in my mind for some time past to write you con cerning the Library that your town and our town is building up for the use of the school. It may be that we can aid in such a manner as to further on the worthy project with collections of books from time to time. Allow me to say that of all the papers that come to us there is none that Is missed more nor more eagerly read than the Republican Newsltem. May you live long to make it inter esting. Again thanking the good people of Laporte and yourself, and hoping to be with you for the summer in a few weeks, I am, Very respectfully, L. L. FORD. NOTlCE. —Parties desiring team work can have prompt attention by applying to the undersigned. After May 11, 1903, the charges made for this service will be 46c the hour. MICHAEL COLLINS, Laporte.

The non-union miners employed by the Sullivan State Line Railroad at Bernice, have gone on a strike for better wages. For the past three years the miners employed by this company have been on a strike, but their places were filled and the col liery was operated the same as us ual. Board Members Came and Llewellyn of the United Mine work ers of America, are in Bernice for the purpose of making an effort to have the union men reinstated by the payment of the wages originally demanded.
