Karns and family of j Benton, drove to Laporte in their I auto Saturday and remained over ! night as the guests of Mr. and J Mrs. T. J. Keeler. Mr. L. M. King of Nordinont ! was a county seat visitor Monday. Considering the serious injuries he received last winter by a log roll- I ing over him, Mr, King is regain | ing his usual good health as rapid- j j ly as can be expected. A charter has been granted by ; Governer Stuart to the Wyoming j ! and Sullivan railroad company to construct and operate a line eight miles long from Nordinont on the Williamsport and North Rrunch railroad in this county, to Ricketts on the Lehigh Valley railroad in j Wyoming county. It will have $8o.0<)0 capital, the ofiicers being: ! Theodore G. Wolf, Scranton pres-1 ident; L. A. Watrous, Scranton, vice president; Jacob Griffith, G. .J. Ileint/.lemen, Richard Hughes, C. M. Hileman, R. Kessler, Jr., James N. Anderson, and .J. H. P>ryden, directors. This road will be used mainly for the conveying' of wood to the acid factory at Nordmont, j In anticipation of a disagreement; , over the terms of the next wage set-! tlement, the operators in the anthra cite coal fields are reported to he planning to store 10,000,000 tons of coal before April I, 190!), at which time the three-year agreement tin der which the miners are now work ing will expire. If this plan is car ried out, 140,000 men will be given 'steady employment for the next | year. : A decision just made by the board of food experts of the department of j agriculture will play havoc'with the ; sale of no end of fake mineral waters. Hereafter manufacturers alleged : mineral waters must state clearly on ; the label whether they are artificial '| or imitation. The producers will ■ have the privilege of the choice of "artificial" or "imitation" but one |of the adjectives must be applied to ' | all waters the result of human art and not bottled direct from their j source. A tine game of baseball is being arranged as one of the attractions for the 4th. of July celebration at Laporte. It will be a content be tween Sullivan and Lycoming county, combination teams. A Jersey Shore farmer about six years ago made himself a home made potato planter which he has successfully used ever since and his neighbors occasionally borrow it. It is built on two runners, upon which is a platform on which the hopper stands. A hopper that holds a couple bushels is in front of him, and while a driver looks after the horses, he drops tin; pieces of pototoes into the end of a tin pipe that extends d >wn to the rear of a shovel plow-share, set vertically, just back of the pipe are two cultivator teeth set so as to throw the soil over the potatoes after they are dropped. It does good work, and the tubers are planted very rapidly by its use. It is noted by a Monroe County newspaper that many young men are returning to the farms in that section from the industrial towns in tin Lehigh Valley. A few years ago wlr;n everything was booming, <rre.it numbers of young men left the farms and found employment in the shops and manufacturing establish ments. Now that business is dull many of them are out of work, and as they have not heeit able to save enough to support them very long in idleness, they are getting back to the farm and bringing others with them What is true of Monroe county is true of many other sections of the state. The old farm is a pretty J>OO<l thing to rely upon in some em ergencies, and very likely it will re quire a most extraordinary boom in things to <*et some of these young men away from home again. There is always plenty of work on the farm, and generally a pretty good living. ((liver M. Keinp, a farmer at Elev en mile Potter county, left his house early last Wednesday afternoon to goto a distant field to blow out some stumps. He carried several sticks of dynamito in a basket. A few I minutes later a terric explosion was I heard. Workmen hurried from a I nearby field and found Kemp sit - | ing on the ground, still conscious. Moth hands had been blown oil'. A jacknife had been driven through his right lung. Both eyes were blown out. fie asked the men to carry him home, where he died in a few minutes. There is little doubt that for a time there will be boom in Wall street, which will have a sympathetic reply in business. Congress is out of the way, and the new currency bill al though temporary nnd a makeshift, has given Wall street a stiffening | that will draw out money anil we I may expect stocks togo up, and ; bonds, stocks and securities come in jto the market in great volume. ; While the nominations still lower, I with the big crops promised, and : the depletion of stocks of manu jactured goods, there must come i better business conditions. St. Louis has re-employed thou ! sands of men who have remained j idle since October I. In the Kansas I City district thirty-five thousand j miners who have not used a pick in I many a day have returned to work. I The South cries for more men to | work in her cotton fields. Ship building has been given a healthy impetus on the pacific coast. * irders for finished steel from imik | ers of farm machinery and other miscellaneous sources are more nu merous, and employment in (lie I mills around Pittsburg, Binning" : ham and other iron centers is stead ! ilv increasing, while sentiment in : tho trade is reported as becoming noticeably confident and hopeful. ; The copper market also reports a I broadening of demand and the prom ise of an early appearance therein of ■j the large consumers. Dry goods circles in New York leport an in crease in inquiries and some gain in actual business, while the word from the cotton manufacturing ceu ] ters of Southeastern New England is 'that the tide has unquestionably ; tunr <1 and improvement is notice | able all around. The first real buying movement of pig iron since the October panic last year has resulted ifi the placing of I contracts for fully 8">0,000 tons in the : I three great distributing districts; ! in the East Central West and in the II territory tributary to Chicago.
