FRANK STRICKLAND, March, 17, 1911. Hillsgrove, Pa. THE FOURTH AT LAPORTE Extensive preparations are being made for the Fourth of July cele bration at Laporte. The excursion train on the W. & N. 13. Railroad will leave Halls at. 7:43 and stop at all stations arriving at Lake Mo koma at 9:04. This train will re turn after the display of fireworks at night. At 10:00 a. 111. there will be a street parade and at 10:30 appro priate patriotic exercises, consist ing of music and speaking, at the high school auditorium. The afternoon will be given over to amusements and sports at Lake Mokoma. Everyone is invited to pack a basket, bring the family and have a good time at the Lake. The new power boat will be in op eration for the first time on that day, and will make regular trips about the lake. There will be dancing in the pavilion and a regular program of sports. The day's celebration will conclude with a fine display of fireworks from the lake in the evening. The special excursion tickets will be honored 011 the regular south bound evening train to ac comodate all who do not desire to remain until the excursion train leaves. It was an observing young lady who remarked that, '"the way those aviators risk their lives is certainly killing." A "school of smiling" for girls has l>een opened in Boston. Bet they don't teach the 57 varieties that Sullivan county girls use. The fuss made over Thomas R. Ryan's boil makes us shudder at the consequence if J. Pierpont Morgan should have the tooth ache. It is unpleasant to contemplate what might happen to anyone else who spoke as plainly concerning the United States as Justice Har lau does. Governor Tener 011 Wednesday vetoed three bills designed to in crease the pay of election officers on the ground that he does not think the advance is justified. Philadelphia now enjoys the distinction of supplying the House at Washington with father of the House, General Bingham and the baby, the son of Mayor Reyburn. The new school code and tax laws have certainly made collectors sit up and take notice. The new laws make many changes in the system of tax collection that make "ignorance of the law excuses no one" mean sDmething. AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON. CURRENT NEWS OF THE WEEK AND EVENTS OF IMPORTANCE IN WHICH PENNSYLVANIA FIGURES. Special to the News Item. Representative Wilson of Penn sylvania has introduced a bill "To provide employment in the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor for persons sixty-five years of age and upward, and prescribe the duties and fix the pay of same, and for other pui-poses." lie also has another measure providing the manner in which prisoners arrest ed for a crime in one state, where the offense was committed in anoth er state, shall be extradited. The measure seems to cover the affairs of cases like that of the Los An geles Times dynamiters, and is in line with the Democratic criticism of the existing laws. The debate 011 the Democratic wool bill has been brought to a close and in the consideration of this important subject of legisla tion the delegation fmu Pennsyl vania have taken a prominent part in the debates. The venerable Sereno Payne, author of the Payne- Aldrich tarriff bill, has been in charge of the Republican side of the debate, and his great know ledge of (he subject of the tariff has been the means of strengthen ing his party position before the country. Of course it has been a foregone conclusion that (he action of the Democratic caucus would settle the fate of_ the bill in the House, as this latter great body has simply l>een the echo of the caucus agreement since the begin ning of the special session. No one seriously believes that the bill will pass the Senate, and it is even doubtful whether it will be considered in that branch of Con gress. There is an apparent deter mination to investigate anything, everything and exerybody, and to do it right away ! In Washington it is well known that the State Department has always spent small sums of money for secret investi gatoins, most of which have been carried 011 in foreign countries. There never has been a time when such expenditures have been brought into question. The Dem ocratic probers have been picking out the items that appear in the record of the State Department, and by insinuation have sought to cast discredit upon Secretary Knox and other officials. Of course, Washington understands all this, and pays no attention to this last attempt" to make political capital, but in the country itself the neces sity of expenditures of this char acter are not so well understood, and it is a part of the "peaunut politics" that are being played in the Capital to attempt to create an impression that a great branch of the federal government has been subjected to petty graft. Representative Field of Kentucky must be disappointed in view of the fact that a resolution intro duced by him two or three weeks ago asking information as to whether criminal prosecutions have been begun or are now pending against the American Tobacco Company and other institutions af fected by the recent decisions of the Supreme Court, has got no further than the pigeon hole of a Committe. Some of the Republi can members have suggested to the gentleman from Kentucky that it might be well for him to read the newspapers. There is considerable speculation as to who will manage the next political campaign for the Repub lican party, and it is stated that Postmaster Hitchcock will not be the man, owing to the duties of his official position. It is said in Washington that C. D. llillis, now Secretary to the President, is carry ing on most of the details of camjkign matters and that he may Iff chosen as the head of the Committee. Collector Loeb of New York, is also looked upon as a likely person for National Chair man. Candidates for the Presidency of Panama are besieging President Taft for aid in securing the coveted place. In order to set aside all question as to his position, Mr. Taft has indicated that he will take no part in the election of a President of Panama and is inter ested only in the construction of Panama Canal, and will not lend his support to any candidate. This announcement was made afr the White House. Chairman Penrose of the Fi nance Committee, has reported the Canadian reciprocity agreement without recommendation. The long siege of discussion has begun and before the vote is reached every member of the Senate will likely express his views on this great question. President Taft and his advisers declare that the victory is won, and that the Sen ate will ratify the pact. The Appelby Case. That justice sometimes miscar ries no one can deny, but it is not always when a rich criminal is in the dock. The Appelby murder case in Tioga county, is a glaring case in point. Appelby killed his young wife, deliberately, while | drunk. A jury of his peers adjudged him guilty of murder in the second degree, and the judge sentenced him to an indeterminate sentence of from five to twenty years. If lie behaves fairly well he will be out again in five years. A couple years ago another man in Tioga county murdered a horse and was given seventeen years. It would thus appear that a horse is worth about three and a half times a woman in Tioga county. What we wanted to call 'particular at tention to was the fact that it was not money that saved Appelby. He had none to amount to any thing. It was simply the sym pathy or the jury with a drunkard. If Appelby had been rich, and had hired world famous lawyers to de fend him, we should have heard the old cry about the power of money to free a criminal. It was not so in this case. Appelby sat indifferent, smiling, all through the trial, and to all questions replied : "I don't remember; I was drunk. - ' and 011 that evidence the jury saved his neck.—Canton Sentinel. Son Wires Father of Elopement. "Married; don't worry at home," read a telegram received by A. S. | Buckley of Williamsport, from his son Bruce, Thursday, under the date of Wilmington, Del. Bruce is a partner in the business with his father, and the latter had not known that he was out of town. Young Buckley and Miss Marion Seamon left Williamsport Wednes day night. Mr. Buckley, who stole the march 011 his relatives and friends, is a brother of Mrs. S. Bergen Park of Towanda, and has frequently visited here, where he has many friends.—Towanda He view. Secures State Position. Michael J. Walsh has been ap pointed special agent of the Dairy and Pure Food Bureau of the Pennsylvania Department of Agri culture, The position pays 8125 a month and expenses.

Walsh, but has been a resident of Wilkes-Barre for the past 32 years. He has lieen prominent in Wilkes-Barre politics and temperance society work. Allen —Turner. Theron W. Allen of Powell, and Miss Ethel Turner of Standing Stone, were united in marriage in Towanda on June 15, Rev. H. H. Craves, pastor of the Universalist church, performing the ceremony. —Towanda Review. ROYAI!

MILDRED AND BERNICE. Born to Mr. and Airs. David Spence of Mildred, a son. Judfion Harney and wife of Scranton are visiting the gentle man's parents in Mildred. It was very quiet on Saturday; only one runaway and no damage done. 11. W. Osier and wife of Ber nice visited friends at Elkland. The Ex-sheriff was greatly missed. If it costs eight hundred dollars to shovel the snow from twenty three miles of road six feet wide with live feet of ditches on each side, how much would it cost to shovel snow oil' from twenty-three miles of road, twelve feet wide with two feet of ditches 011 each side. James. 11. Spenec, the Republi candidate for school director was looking over his political fences at Covey town one da}' last week. J. A. Helsman, the popular Repub lican candidate for County Treasurer, was a Laporte visitor Wednesday. Mr. Kellar and wife of Benton are visiting their son, Harry at Mildred. Miss Sarah AVotson of Mildred left for Philadelphia Saturday. 11. W. Osier, Frank McMahon and Dr, Swope were county seat visitors last week. John Hamer and wife of Dushore spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Morris Leverton. Constable McMahon escorted George Tabir to the county seat 011 Thursday, where he Mill be the guest of Slieritf Brown. George is a firm believer in Teddy's theory 011 race suicide. He left a wife in the old country, it is alleged, and when he settled in the Keystone State lie though of the old proverb, "it is not good for man to be alone," ami hunted himself up another woman, with whom he lived /or eleven years, the couple having four children. Everything was running smoothly until two weeks ago when woman No. 1, made her appearance and from that time there was something do ing. No. 1, wanted him and No. 2 would willingly let him goon condition that she should receive $l5O and No. 1 waa to take care of the children, while No. 2 was to have the privilege of visiting them once a month. No. '2 broke the agreement, according to report, and visited George every day, with the inevitable result that two wo men cannot live in the same house at the same time, and so George is taking his summer vacation with the sheriff. Jos. MeDermott, Democratic candidate for Associate Judge was calling on friends here Thursday. Celebrate the Fourth at Laporte. "Dr. Miles' Nervine Completely Cured Our Litde Boy of Fits."
