Mrs. Margaret Mapes received a ' severe blow on her forehead by j being struck with a piece of wood which she was cutting Wednesday. Sir Thomas Lipton has furnished the American people with a fine: example of a good loser. The weather prophet who pre dicted "prolonged drouths" for J this summer lias been drowned out. The European squadron, which has been ordered to Beirut, con sists of three vessels, the Brook- j lyn, San Francisco and Macliias, with combined crews of 1,051 offi cers and men. To advertise once is better than to ; never advertise at all, because one | time, if it is done properly, takes the kinks out and paves the way for the second time. An exchange advises its lady read-' ers to have their weather eyes open and a club ready for a peddler of table linen that is not linen neither is it worth what is asked for it. Miss Cloyd Burnley, a teacher of i chemistry at Yasar College, Miss! Dorothy Shank and Floyd Waltz of Williamsport, after spending a short vacation with Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Randall.

Eleven years ago nineteen deer were placed in the park, which covers thousands of acres. The animals have multiplied so rapidly that they now number over 2,000. It is said that the sandy condition of the road alone prevented the wheels from cutting the boy's body in twain. Farmert report that the potatoes are rotting in many sections of the j county. The blight which is caus | ing the rotting of the tubers first "at tacks the stalks which begin to with er and die at the top and in a few days the potatoes begin decay. Some farmers think the cold nights have caused blight while others believe it is caused by the wet weather. Chicago now boasts of a women's detective bureau. The new enter prise will doubtless develope a lot of talent that is going to waste in sew ing circles. The Chicago man who is offering his first wife's costly tombstone for sale at reduced rates as it stands on the family lot, is said to be unduly under the influence of his second wife. The Rev. Clias. A. Brewster, of Florida, who is at present visiting Eagles Mere, will administer the Holy Communion and preach at the morning service in the Episcopal Church next Sunday.

A sad accident occured at Jamison City on Wednesday, August 19, by which the seven year old son of Sam uel Secules, until recently a resident of Muncy Valley, received fatal in juries. The boy was riding on an empty bark wagon with his father and several other workmen, and when the rapidly moving wagon gave a sudden lurch the boy was thrown to the ground under the wagon, the hind wheels passing over his Jbody, breaking the ribs and otherwise injuring him, from the ef fects of which he diet! the following Monday. The stage route from Laporte to Forksvslle, via Eagles Mere, estab lished over fifty years ago, will be discontinued on October f>th and a new route established between the two points by the Loyal Sock road, making the distance five miles less, a much easier road for travel and serving a greater number of people with rural free delivery along the line. The department has posted notices for bids for the carrying of the mail on the new route. The schedule time will be to leave La porte post office at B:4f> a. m. arriv ing at railroad station at 9:00 where another pouch will be received from the mail clerk 011 the train, starting for Forksville at 9:30 arriving there at at noon.

The bookbinders' union has filed its charges against William Miller, their expelled member who was re instated by order of the President. The burthen of the charge is that Miller was illegally married some wenty-five years ago and, although he has lived happily with his wife ever since, it is claimed that he can not therefore, properly bind books. As Hamlet sayeth, "Treat a man according to his deserts and who would escape hanging," and as Kip ling says, "We are all of us liars, are half of us thieves and the rest are as rank as can be."

Beginning on Tuesday, Septem bor 1, the retail coal dealers advani *d the price of all sizes of coal, except pea coal, ten cents a ton, according to the schedule arranged by the coa'J companies last spring. It is not un likely that there will be a raise in pea coal before winter sets in. The consumer for the past two years has been compelled to pay several 'ad vances in price of coal, 'amounting altogether to more than a dollar on a ton. Hydrophobia has broken out in the herd of cattle of a farmer of Montour county, and last week it was necessary for him to kill his fifth cow. Four were killed the pre vious week, all showing every symp ton of the rabies. The disease is supposed to have been caused by a mad dog which ran amuck through that section some weeks ago and which was killed later. It was fear ed then that some of the cattle had been bitten, and the death of the aforesaid cattle proves that their fears were only too true. The State Department at Ilarris burg has for sometime been engaged in the preparation of a ballot in ac cordance with the new law passed by the last legislature. The matter was placed in the hands of Chief Clerk Thorn, and after a thorough study of the law he has prepared a ballot which it is thought conforms to every provision. The new bal lot contains all the party names in the firs* column, instead of at the top of separate columns as formerly The offices to be filled follow in col umns, the name of every candidate for each office to be voted for beiflg under the head of that office. A candidates name is on the ballot but once, but the name of every party which nominated him is set opposite that one name. The circle is elimi nated., but a square answers the same purpose, and there are no sepa rate columns for each party. It has the effect of shortening the ballot, and the same candidate of more than oneparty can occupy but one place on it. Administrator's Notice. In re: estate of William C.
