recovery. 11
The popularity of the News Item i
throughout the county was empha- >
sized in court this week, when in the i
selection of a jury for the murder I
trial nearly every witness testified i
that he read of the affair in the i
News Item.
The rumor that found fts way in
to these columns last week to the ef
fect that the non-union men at Ber
nice were on a strike, proved to be |
untrue. Work is progressing as us- j
ual. As we now understand no dis- |
tinction is .being shown the union j
and non-union men when services ,
are needed. ■
The stave factory closed for the .
season on Tuesday, having complet- ;
ed the cutting of all the stock placed <
in the yard last winter. The facto- i
ry this year has turned out the larg
est number of staves in the shortest ••
space of time yet accomplished. *
Win. Sykes has been in charge of <
the work and the capable hands |he i
selected accounts for the good results. '
The work of jointing the staves and
loading on cars, will commence at
once. 1
The court room has been uncom- 1
fortably crowded this week with
spectators to hear witnesses testify
to the ill treatment of an aged an
infirm woman by her son. Had all
these deeds been acts of kindness the
case would not have been considered
interesting enough to have even at
tracted the attention of the jury.
It would have taken an endless
amount of good deeds enacted for
Wm. Saam to have attracted such
wide attention and notoriety. The
public pays too high a premium for
badness. Fact is. it's not popular to
be good these days. Virtue is only
a name.
It is reported that Laporte will
have a grand celebration on the
4th of July. Rev. J. A. Enright
will bring his annual church excur
sion to this place on that date, if
rumor be correct. Further partic
ulars and announcement will be
published in a later issue.
Cattle owners of this Borough are
beginning to agitate the question as
to whether it will pay to have the
cattle removed from our streets. It
cheapens the cost of milk to the con
sumers who buy and affords free
pasture to those who desire to keep
a cow. It also keeps the grass crop
ped and saves the cost of mowing.
It is believed by some that it will
be of great injury to the inhabitants
to have all these advantages remov
ed. We have heard of men reason
ing left handed, but this way of reas-

oiling is left handed on both sides.
Putting aside the annoyance of hav
ing well manured sidewalks and
looking at the financial end of the j
question it does not require a very j
keen insight to see the "penny wise
and pound fool" policy in advocat
ing that it pays to pasture the streets.
Will it not be more profitable to
boom the town for a summer resort
than use it for a pasture field ? Re
peated attempts have been made to
associate summer guests with cattle
at this place, but so far the attempts
have turned to dismal failures.
There are too many other villages
more neat and tastefully kept for
Laporte to hope to compete with in
her present state of appearance. We
have a number of property owners
who are offering to sell at a great
sacrifice, but there are no buyers to
take advantage of these bargains.
Exactly. A pasture field never has
the appearance to yield much value.
Capital is very sensitive and shuns
all places where it is abused and not
allowed to expand. With a proper
administration, different from what
we have been having, Laporte real
estate if consistently handled could
lie made to double its value in five
years time. Why then continue
using it for a pasture field ?
Republicans Name Ticket by
Acclamation.
The Republican state convention
held at Harrisburg Wednesday nom
inated by acclamation the following
ticket: Auditor general, William
1\ Snyder, of Chester; for state treas
urer, William L. Mathews of Dela
ware; for superior court judges, John
J. Henderson of Crawford county;
and Thomas A. Morrison of McKean
county. The platform commended
and approved the administration of
President Roosevelt, who with great
ability, fidelity and vigor has enforc
ed the policies of his lamented pred
ecessor, William McKinley, and of
the Republican party. His nomina
tion and election to the presidency
in 1904 is favored and thus pledged.
Senator Ilanna and the state of
Ohio have yielded to the popularity
of Teddy and now stand pledged to
his support.

be spread upon the records of the
lodde and a copy be sent to the fam
