IfCovnty Scat \ Local and Personal Events! i Tersely Told. J Miss Eliza Shaut left Thursday evening for Towanda. Atty. A. J. Bradley came up from Philadelphia to east his vote hereon Tuesday. A. E. Botsford of Nordmont, has moved from that place to Connecti cut, where he has been employe! for some time past. Charles Covert of Nordmont, has moved his family to Opp, Lycoming county. Jerome Reed, of this place, has moved to Mr. Covert's farm near Nordmont. Mrs. Clara Baker has gone to Ath ens to live with her daughter for the winter. Wedding invitations are out an nouncing the marriage of Mr. John V. Finkle to Mrs. Rosa Mead on Thursday, November 12. Jasper Gasperlne of Bridgeport Conn., was visiting old time friends in the second ward, Tuesday. S. W. Brown of Philadelphia, passed through town Tuesday eve ning on his return from visiting Es tella friends. Mr. Brown is engaged in the insurance business in the (Juaker city. Some one was successful in calling up the Laportc telephone exchange Monday and in sending the news to the Williamsport Sun of the #OO 11).- bear killed by Gordon Warburton at Estella, the story got converted some where along the line into giving F. \V. Gallagher the honor of the vic tory and it was so published. You can begin to make yourself familiar with these facte. Mrs. W. B. Ritter spent Wednes day with her daughter at Satterfield. Miss Bessie Flynn of York State, is visiting her brothers, John and Michael, and later will visit her brother Edward, at llillsgrove. Joseph, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. John Fries, last Sunday fell off the porch where he was playing and hurt his arm quite badly. It was at first thought that his arm was broken, but on the arrival of Dr. Randall who was called to attend him, it was found to be only a bail bruise. Patrick D rsey, who was admitted to the Williamsport Hospital, last week suffering with a broken back, died on Thursday. He is survived by a wife and several children. Mr. John Henly and Miss Clara Hat ton, both of Mildred, were mar ried on Wednesday, November Ith, by Rev. W. J. Campbell of Dushore. Patrick McHale of Sugar Ridge, Bradford county, 8"> years of age, was burned to death while trying to extinguish forest tires near his home Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Martin Gallagher, formerly of this place is one of the nine survising children of Mr. McHale. We have no hesitancy in voicing our belief that an election judge who gets so tilled up with happiness that there is no room within him for any other emotion or to be able to exer cise any faculty while serving on an election board, and his friends pro nounce him intoxicated and lias to leave his honored station, is of that class of citizens who regard executive dignity with about as much concern as could pass through the eye of it needle. It would be a rather mellow joke on the editor of this paper for having been obliged to swear in his vote on Tuesday, owing to the assessor fail ing in his duty to place our name on the registry list, but for the fact that many others were subjected to un necessary delay in their voting for the same reason, places the joke in that class which has no funnyness about it that we can see. There "is little room for excuse in placing such an erroneous registry list in the hands of an election board as was in use at Laporte Tuesday. The law never intended that a resident and real estate tax jwyer of many years should chase up incompetent assessors to examine their books for omissions It is their duty to make the list cor rectly from the assessment books, if that is not done they are either in competent or uselessly neglectful in those affairs. However when such incidents do occur we believe a gen tleman would offer some manner of apology, but we have learned to share the common knowledge that all assessors are not gentlemen.

A TARIFF CAMPAIGN DEMOCRATS MUST MAKE IT THE ISSUE NEXT YEAR. They Can Accomplifth Nothing by It t nlenN Republican* Are Foolinh ( F.iioukU to Divide and Scatter Their Strength. Every Indication points to tbe tariff as the issue for 1004. By all means let It be so. The Philippine question Is set tled; our splendid financial laws, if amended at the coining session of con gress, will be as near perfect as pos sible. and there remains only the tariff for the Democrats to take up. And where will they land? Will they dis cuss wages? What will they say to the 20,000.000 laborers In industrial pursuits who are employed full time and at wages individually and collec tively greater than ever before known? Will they discuss prices? What will ihey say to the 10,(KM),000 farmers who •ire getting profitable returns for their work, while the consumer, with his large income, is willing that his cost of living should be in proportion to the ;>rice which lie receives for his product —labor. Will they discuss savings? What will they say of the $3,000,000,000 in the savings banks of tbe country? Will they discuss foreign trade? What will they say of our billion and a half sf exports? Will they discuss Internal business? What will they say of our more than $ 100,000,000,000 of bank jlearings? Will they discuss railroads? What will they say of Increased earn ings year after year, of increased num ber of employees and about $100,000,000 ncrease In wages annually? No, they will not discuss any of these juestious. They will diseuss, first, trusts, not foreign trusts, which are ready to swoop down on our markets and strangle our industries if we let down the tariff bars. No, they wll! <ay nothing of these great foreign com binations, but they will twang the harp ind ring the changes on .\merican '.rusts, which mainly do not exist. But •>ven that will not avail, for the people know that under our Industrial combi nations they are having work and wages, and the farmer knows he Is getting good, fair prices, and so the irust demagogy will fall on heedless ■ars in 1004. But never mind, there Is still tlie great card—reciprocity—to play, and it will be played by every free trade orator and every free trade edi tor for all it is worth. Why? Because they believe in it? No, indeed! Did not the Democrats repeal ail the reci procity treaties in 1894? Why the change of front then? Simply because there are foolish Republicans enough to encourage them. Divide and con quer is the cry, and so long as Repub licans aid and encourage and abet the Democrats, so long will there be dan ger of the outcome. Despairing of get ting free trade for years to come, they are willing to accept the entering wedge, reciprocity, in any form and to any degree. Here, then, is the issue for 1004. --American Economist. Whatever farmers are doing as farm ers should interest every farmer. A Pomona'a Lofty Idenla. A recent meeting of the Chautauqua county (N. Y.) l'omona grange was held in the Volusia M. E. church at an alti tude of 1.557 feet, says an exchange. The response to the address of welcome was made by Louis McKinstry, editor of the Fredonia Censor, first lecturer of the first grange ever regularly organ ized. J It may not be generally known 1 that a law was passed last winter | which couipells all tax col lea tors under a penalty of S2OO to col- I ect and settle their tax duplicates jon or before the Ist day of May fol lowing the tax levy. For instance, the tax for 1903 must be settled by May next and the 1902 tax is past due. The Hug-hesville Mail is responsi ble for the assertion that Eagles Mere will soon lose one of its enter prising citizens in the person of Mr. Walter Trappe, the efficient plumb er, who will move to liughesville where he will make his permanent home. Three Polanders of Bernice, were arrested for nearly killing one of their lountrymen in a light last week, and brought to the county j jail to await trial at court. There are now five prisoners under Slier iffCott'scare, and all of them are foreigners. Administrators Notice. In re' estate ol F. B. l>arby, late ol Klkland towusluip,.Sullivan County I'a.

Because—absolutely without restrictions. Because—non forfeitable from date of issue. Be cause—cash loans are provided after second year, on demand at 5 per cent interest without fee or other charge. Because—if death does not occur an accumulative policy is a highly profi table investment for the policy-holder who lives. Policies now maturing to living policy-holders prove this. In fact NEW YORK LIFE policies do not leak. Health and Accident Insurance also written.
