THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, ISO 7. Postmaster Hippie, of Scran ton, has a heap of trouble on hand du< to a letter he received, which wa- I addressed to"The most sensible anu truest single lady, Seranton, Pa." The sender wants the postmaster to hand it to the lady he decides is en titled to the missive, between the ages of 24 and SO. The letter came from a man in New Mexico who is seeking a wife. Since the arrival of the letter the postofllee has been thronged by women of all ages, classes ami colors, seeking to secure the missive.\ The Lehigh Valley railroad com pany has made announcement that they would abandon Harvey's Lake as a picnic ground. Just wby this determination was reached is oonjecture, but it is believed to be due to the fire which destroyed the dancing pavilion and other build ings on the ground. Over 700 citizens of Columbia county have signed a petition, which was presented to court the other day, praying the court to is sue an order that all bars in th * county be closed at 10 o'clock every night. The snow anti-cold snap for the last few weeks has created a big boom in the lumber woods. Jam in son City, Elk Grove, Nord mont and Emmons are the scene of the greatest activity and a couple hundred extra men and teams are taking advantage of the snow to haul the timber down to the mills. Fearful that the sleighing will not last, the work is being rushed as rapidly as possible, and the de mand for men is so great that wag es as high as 82.50 per day is be ing paid. When a man is seized with grip his first thought is of seeing a (lue tic; his second of calling on his friend the undertaker, and his third of paying his debts. Men are the most peculiar persons when they are sick or imagine they are sick and a good case of grip will cause them to think that the end of life is not far distant. And when grip grips a man he makes more fuss than a woman does when she tries on a new dress. Hut the grip is not a" joke, as the hundreds of persons who are now suffering from the ailments can testify be tween sneezes. —Exchange. In the opinion tiie of Franklin Ev ning News there will be "some lively times in the legislature over the subject of vaccination," as oppo nents of the measure will make a vigorous fight to wipe it off the statute books. Members from the various interior counties were elect ed on platforms calling calling for repeal or modification of the law. State Health Commissioner Dixon will vigorously oppose anything in the nature of a repeal. He will probably aak the legislature, how ever, to make some change in the law to bring it into harmony with the compulsory education act. * a Otlicra See Ilim mid in S< en I>> lllmaelf. J. T. Ailuian. secretary of Ilie Penn aylvaniii state grange. remarks that recently at a grange picnic a gentle man. not a fanner, extolled tlie former to the skies. As lie saw It, the farmer is the most Independent mail in the hind. He can scarcely know a want that he cannot himself supply. Ills wife enjoys a paradise, and his chil dren are the healthiest, happiest and most contented to be found anywhere. There is nothing of which he can Justly eomplHln. Soon after n farmer who owns two good farms and a house in town was heard to say: "The farmer is not respected by any body. He KHS n o public recognition. When he goes among other people he is sneered at as only a farmer. He Is dis I criminated against by legislators and I business men. He pays the bulk of the '• taxes, and others fix his prices for him. I A S2OO cheek will be required to pay i my taxes this year. I am tired of it ! My properties are in the market." I There is some truth In what the first ' man said, too much truth in the state | ment of the second. The mission of the 1 grange is to realize for the farm as far 1 ns possible the dreams of the first and ! to correct the evils complained of by : 'lie second. Trained nurses will hereafter be placed on the same footing as people engaged in other professions if the Mumma bill, introduced in the house becomes a law. It provides that any graduate nurse desiring to practice her pro fession must obtain a license from the prothonotary of the county in which she resides, provided she shall present her diploma with a training school at a public hospital for at least two years where she had practical and theoretical training. Graduate nurses from outside of the state en obtain a license but must be identi fied by a resident of the county. A penalty for the violation of the act is a(1no of fifty dollars. The bill do,is not apply to graduate nurses from another state who comes to this state in company with a non resident for the purpose of nursing him. The bill does not interfere with nurses who do not profess to be graduate nurses. Delhert Rogers of West Pike, Potter county, who was admitted I" the Williamsport Hospital with his both hands and both feet badly frozen, will in all probability have to submit to an operation in which all four members will have to be amputate. Gangrene has devel oped and only such an operation will spare his life. He is 51 years of uge. He was frozen two weeks ago while driving a load of lumber through the country near Galeton. lie became numbed from the cold and fell over on his load of lumber. His team continued to their desti nation travelidg several hours, and when the man was found he was badly frozen. Some of the railroads ol' this coun try have discovered that they made a mistake when they fixed the ape limit of men who enter their employ at thirty-five years and they have raised the limit to forty years, I'oss ibly the chief reason for tins change of base has been thedittieulty encoun tered by the railroads in securing competent men under thirty-fiv< years in their several branches, a fact which goes to show that it is not always thh young men who mak< the best employes The sentiment which seemed to prevail among railroad companies and other corporations that a man loses his best faculties w hen he has attained the age of sixty, so prevalent some years ago, has undergone a change and the railroads at least have discovered that it is impossibe for them to runsome of their depart ments without the assistance of older men who have learned wisdom with the passage of years and who are able to do more and better work than ii is possible to induce young men to perform. l)r. Osier's edict against old men in position requiring tin* exercise of brains has not been obeyed to a very large extent by the companies which are wise enough to look after their own interests and who are willing to have" men about them who are trust worthy, though not so active, instead of filling their places with young, who have other matters to distract their attention from their duties a.- employes. Hut the 'yom'K men will learn; and with age they too will prove as valuable to their employers as the old men of today are. The wail that the m<*at packers sent up when the demand was made that their products should bo inspect ed to make sure that they were clean and true to name w is wholly unnec essary. The storm that boat upon then merely blow them into the harbor surer trade and larger profits. Notwithstanding the Government is bearing the entirecvOs of inspection of their go >l-), they hav<j advanced the price of c.inned meats from twen ty to one hunlred percent. Thi-i is probably duo to the fact that they are actually putting potted chicken into the cans instead of pork scraps, corn meal and spices which before went un ler that name. Every resident along It.

Andrews horn M-.iy i.i. is") I Mini died January 30, 190". »i«e r><; years 8 months and 17 days. Ser vices were condueted by Rev. Tlios F. Hippie at the home of the deceas ed near Eagles Mere on .Sunday morn ing February 8, at 10 o'eloek follow ed by services at th.» Baptist Church at Eagles Mete at 11 o'clock. Inter ment was made in the Little Ceme tary. The deceased is survived by a widow and eleven children all of Eagles Mere; two brothers and two sisters. Mr. Andrews received in juries while working on a saw mill at Aettle Creek some months ago from which he never fully recovered, this trouble developed into Cancer of the Stomach from'which he died. For the many services rendered by neighbors and friends during the sickness and death of Mr. Andrews his widow wishes to express her gratitude. Aurand Ilunter was born Novem ber 18, 18f)9 and died January 30, 1907 age 47 years 2 months and 11 days. Funeral services were held at Eaglesmere on Saturday February 2 at 9:00 a.m. followed by a church service in the Nordmont Evangeli cal Church at 2 p.m. Interment was made in Cherry Grove Cemetery near Nordmont. The services were con ducted by Hev. Thus. F. Hippie of Laporte. The deceased leaves a widow and three children Brady, Floyde and Eunice, four brothers Sanuel, Fred, Clell and .lames all of Nordmout and two sisters Mrs. Ilarvey Arms of Nordmont and Mrs. Maggie Bow er of Emporium, Pa. Mr. Hunter it will be remembered was struck by a falling tree while working in the woods near E-igles mere on the morning of January .'s() and died the afternoon of the same day from injuries sustained. Mr. Hunter was a hardworking, law abiding citizen and his sudden death will be a sad blow to his sor rowing widow and children. Mr*. Hunter desires to express her gratitude for the sympathy extend ed and services rendered to her at the sudden death of her husband. Hotel at Forksvillc Burned. The Hotel at Forksvillc was totaly destroyed by fire eaily Sunday morn ing arid practically all the contents were consumed. The fire was first discovered by the proprietor P. S. Scanlen nbout 2 o'clock. The fire started in the upper story and the flames had gained considerable head way before discovered. The piano and a few pieces of parlor furniture were the only things saved. The building is said to be well covered by insurance. According to a Kansas City paper tinned meats have advanced from ninety cents to $1.75 per doaen for quarter-pound cans. Perhaps there is that much difference in the cost of the goods, but whether so or not, the public would rather pay the price and make sure they were not eating offal. Government inspection is a boom to the packers, instead of a hardship. The stamp " U. S. In spected and Passed" is a guarantee that carries the goods into every market of the world. T'ie trade responded instantly to the new con ditions and more tinned meat will be sold in the future than ever be fore. TIIE members of the Pennsyl vania legislature are wanting their salaries raised. And why not? Our legislators have the example of our United States congressmen who only a week or two ago voted to increase their salaries fron $5,000 to $7,500. Possibly if they are given more sal ary there will be less graft. "Printers are begining to see the point that they can no longer operate their business at the same prices ask ed for their work a half dozen years I ago;" truthfully says the Port Alle- I gheny Reporter, "Every job turned I out of a newspaper office ought to ! bring twice as much as it did six years ago. Everything the printer buys is twice as high labor, paper, J inkjandjrent; besides, most people re quire better printing than would satisfy them the»." 75C PER YEAR lit P's. C.

It was generally sup posed that the act relating to the primary elections and which, it was decided, does not apply to this county would.free jdl candidatesjbefore "the primaries or caucuses from filing pap but a careful perusal of this act shows that this is not the case and every candidate who was nominated for a borough, ward township or other of fices at the [primaries that are now being held generally throughout the county will have to file his state ment or affidavit showing that his nomination did not cost hiai s">o or lie cannot take his'olßce. This will mean a great thing in the way of accumulated papers as there are hundreds of candidates in cluding school directors, auditors, couneilmen and others Humiliated in the county duriug the last l'cw weeks not to mention the number who were candidates or who were not nominated. The interpretation of the law has given the clerk of the courts all kinds of trouble as he will probably have to enlarge his office vaults to care for the tna#s of docu mentary literature that will necessar ily have to be filed and cared for un der the law. An extra clerk will probably be needed to care for the extra papers. After the candidates are elected they will have to file a second affidavit of the same charac ter, showing that the election did not cost them more than #">o or giv ing a statement of the expenditures. There is absolutely no connection be tween the primary law and the co rupt practices act. [The law giv«s candidates thirty days after the primary or election in which to file the affidavits.—SunburyAmerican.
