If has been discovered that in Chi
cago .several undertakers have Been
giving trading stamps to widows of
deceased citizens In onlcr to increase
Business. This fact was discovered
when one sorrowing, widow canceled
an order for a coffin given to ati un
dertaker because lie would not give
her trading stamps There is proba
bly nothing legally wrong in giving
trading stamps to recently bereaved
widows, but the practice might be
come dangerous to society if women
should become so addicted to the
trading stamp craze as to hasten the
demise of their husbands in order
to take advantage of the undertakers'
offer.
No doubt the Chicago undertakers
who issue trading stamps did a live
ly business until their scheme was
unearthed, for the average woman
feels that it would be a shame not to
take advantage of such an offer, even
at the risk of being accused of mak
ing light of such a solemn thing as a
funeral. However, the ethics of the
undertakers' profession have been
violated and the trading stamp funer
al directors are likely to discover the
gravity of their offense when the
undertakers' association holds the
next meeting.
Deputy United States Marshall 11,
Laurish arrested Henry Gordon and
James C'anew of Bellfont, on infor
mation preferred by postoffice in
spector \V. A. Rhoads. The boys
who are Under ill years of age are
charged with breaking into a mail
car on the Central railroad of Penn
sylvania, while it was standing near
Bellfont on March-1. The amount
they secured from the mail car is
charged in the information to have
been 19 cents and three two cent
stamps. The case seems to he a
clear one against the boys. They
were held in s:?ott bail fn default of
which they were committed to the
Dauphin county jail for appearance
at the United States court at Ilarris
burg the first Monday in May.
A Salladasburg man is in a peck
of trouble the result of catching trout
under the size specified by State
game laws. The number of trout
taken by the man is said to have
been fifty, which makes a total fine

May in Roaring run and since that
time investigations have proceeded
with the result that he was arrest
ed. He was held in SIOOO bail for a
hearing.

at Sunbury last week, on the Rev.
11. K. Zimmerman, of Omaha, Neb
formerly a Lutheran minister of
Dickenson, Cumberland county, this
State, for sending obscene pictures
through the mails. Zimmerman's
excuse after pleading guilty, was
that lie needed the pictures for a
magazine article, and one of his let

"Send me the hottest going."
A number of the hotel keepers in
Williamsport have inaugurated a
new rule to govern the sale of liquor
over their bars, and if rigidly en
forced by the bartenders will work a
large amount of good.
The hotel men have prepared a
list of names of men known to them
to be of intemperate habits and
others whose presence is undesirable
about the hotel.
This list of names is kept behind
the bar and the bartenders are in
structed not to Allow the men in the
bar room. As new names are found
and placed on the list, the other
hotel keepers sire notified and the
names are also placed on their list.
There are now a number of names
on all the lists in the city, and these
men can,t get liquor served to them
over any of the bars. The hotel
porprietors will keep this rule up
until all the undesirable patrons are
known to all the bartenders.
One man when refused liquor at
the bar hunted up the proprietor and
demanded the reason. He was told
to leave the place and never ask
to be served over the bar again.
The hotel adjoining was told of the
occurrence and he was placed on
that list also.

the barn.
Much of the furniture was destroy

Cortland, N. Y., March 2*. -Judge
Joseph E. Kggleston Thursday after
noon passed sentence upon Horace
L. Cole, giving him a straight sen
tence of three year in the Auburn
state prison. He was arrested last
tail for alleged horse stealing but
broke jail before being tried. He
was captured and brought back to
jail and pleaded guilty to the chi rge
a weefc ago, after making a rather
remarkable plea, in which he in
dicted the supervisors for the con
ditions of the jail, and said that Cort
land county had her pound of flesh,
lie asked that he be given a light
sentence in order that ho might be
in lighting trim to meet the charges
to be preferred against him by
Broome county officials. When
sentenced, he said he thought the
court, district attorney and people of
the county were prejudiced against
him. Judge F-ggleston recalled the
events of his checkered tareej, most
of which are known to residents of
this and Broome county, and said
that his record was against him.
Cole seemed greatly depressed by
the sentence he received.

the advisability of the very effective
Sheiff's fee bill now in force in this
t e, Tioga has supplied it. In 1!>
07, it cost the county $1,312 to col
lect taxes amounting to 5?!)4,47.
During that year, lands returned
—laud on which no taxes had been
paid, the taxes running from 74 cents
a"lot to $20.:!0 —the maximum, foot
ing up >!>1.47. Under the law it
was imperative to sell these lands for
taxes, and the fees for selling were
as follows: Sheriff, $1,10<).;}7; pro
thonotary, $174.1">; attorney's fees
and commissions, #1:12.
It is very evident that if all the
departments of the county were run
on such a ba-is, it would soon be
bankrupt. Under the law the com
missioners are powerless to prevent
this waste.
