Honjjen Plead Guilty And Paid Fine. R. J. Ilongen of Weissport, Car l)itn county, president of the Dusli ore Water company, 011 Monday ol this week before Alderman Frank H. Brown of Wilkes-Barre, pleaded guilty to buying brook trout con trary to section lL' of the Act ol May 1, 1909, and was lined £'J(J and the costs amounting to 815.85, making a total of $35.85. Mr. Ilongen paid the amount reluctant ly. expressing the belief that he could win out should he carry the case to the higher courts. Mr. Ilongen, it will be remem bered, was coining to Dushore on the evening train over the Bow man s Creek branch. He bad six pounds of nice trout, which lu l proudly showed Fishwarden Shoe maker. who happened to be on the train. The officer was informed that the trout had been purchased at a commercial hatchery, and then Mr. Shoemaker asked to see the bill of sale or invoice which the law states in so many words must accompany fish and be shown upon demand. Mr. Hongcn had no invoice, and so Mr. Shoemaker took possession ol the lish and told Mr. Ilongen that he would 1M; summoned to ap pear before a justice. r l he matter was taken up with the Department of Fisheries and much squabbling resulted, but Commissioner Median would not give in a peg, and told Fishwarden Shoemaker to fight the case until the end. But the end has come sooner than expected and as the line and costs have lieen paid this celebrated case of a few days ends. —Towanda Daily Review. Sones Nominated. Chas. W.

All these marching men belong to the Sunday School, and tlit thought uppermost in the minds o many of the spectators who liner the sidewalks was expressed on out banner, '"Where the men lead tin boys will follow." A huge mass meeting for men, with ringing speeches by Rev. Dr. Homer (' Stuntz and Rev. Dr. S. Parke; ('adman, followed the parade.

The United Spanish War Veter ans Association was organized t< promote the feelings of comradeship among the survivors of the wai with Spain and the memories of a service to our country theresults oi which in National reputation am] extension of our national domain were of great magnitude. This order inculates patriotism, charity and fraternity and standi for the groing soldiers interests in state and national legislation as the G. A. R. has so worthily stood foi the interests of the veterans of the Civil War. The thinning lines ol the G. A. R. reminds us that in a few years their place will l>e only in history, and our living veterans those of '9B—'o2. The IJ. S. W. V. grew out of the union of many veteran associations that sprang up after the war with Spain and is now of truly national proportions, having Camps in every state and teritory, in Porto Rico, Cuba, and in the Philippines even has enough Camps for a depart ment. It welcomes regulars and volunteers, soldiers, sailors, and marines who served Old Glory al any time from the Declaration ol war against Spain to the proclama tion of peace in the Philippines on July 4, 1902. Charles F. Moore Camp No. (J, U. S. W. V., is the only camp in our section. It was chartered tc meet at Towanda, in 1901, as No. 208 of the Spanish American Wai Veterans and iu 1904 was reehar tered as No. G, Dept. of Pa. U. S. W. V.in August 1907, Charles T. Moore Camp was moved to Say re where it now meets on the 2nd and 4t.li Wednesdays of each month "in in City Hall at 8:<K) p. in.. Oil its rolls it has men who have served in more than twenty-five regiments and veterans of nearly every branch of the U. S. military service. Many of the young veterans have failed as yet to join any Camp, but will have an opportunity to do so at once on most favorable terms as Charles F. Moore Camp on the special meetings of June 8, and 29, and July I.'}, and 27, oilers to receive recruits for 51.50, half of the regular rate for muster fee. '1 here ought to be "lively doings" at these meetings with recruits from Bradford, Sull i\an and Wyoming counties ami from over the line in York state. Flios. W. Stalford Adj.
