The least excitement wouhl lning on the most distressing palpitation. I had scarcely taken a halt-bottle of the Heart Remedy be fore I could see a marked change in my condition.

Beachey is not the first high flyer Williamsport has ever seen. Thomas Moran of Binghamton is spending the week with his par ents in this place. Messrs John and Frank Ilileman spent the past week doing plumb ing work in this place. T. J. Keeler returned to Roselle Park, N. J., Tuesday where he is employed at the carpenter trade. What's become of the old fash ioned boy who always went around with his sore toe tied up in a rag? Prof. Ford's outiug for boys at "Camp Mokoma'' opened last week. The boys arrived 011 Satur day. A review of the past month will bhow that there has been no cur tailment in the June bride in dustry. Somebody inquires for a way to make the fly stand still while he is being swatted. Why not put salt ou his tail? The liigest point in the air reached by Beachey at the aviation meet in Williamsport last week was 8,700 feet. Mrs. Leo Fritz returned last week from Glen Mawr where she was caring for her father John Hall who has been in failing health.

It has been discovered that frogs and toads are the greatest fly eaters in the world. And in addition to this they do not object to giving free concerts nightly. Attention is called to the fact that Jack Johnson has been the greatest man on earth for only one yoar. But he has lived as much as a dozen ordiuary .men in that time. Guess some of New Albany's citizens do not approve of a safe and sane Fourth. The residents were surprised upon that morning to /ind the town decorated in crepe.

Ellery Carpenter of this place, who has been pitching base ball lor Nescopeek in the Susquehanna League has signed with the Blooms burg team for the next series. Bloomshurg won the championship in the first series and their secur ing ''Buck" as a pitcher means that Laporte's fancy twirler of last season is playing the game in the proper manner this year.

On Saturday afternoon a coal train 011 the Bernice Branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad covered several miles of rack in about as many minutes. A short distance below Satterfield near the horse shoe curve the train began to gain speed owing to defective air brake connections and in a short time was going at a teritlic pace. Brake men in the caboose endeavored -to crawl over the cars to set the wheel brakes but were unable to do so. Before the Dushore trestle was reached the caboose was cut loose from the rest of the train which in a short time had gone from sight, tearing across the trestle at about 45 miles an hour. A short distance below Dushore the train was again brought under con trol and no damage resulted from the wild trip. The Celebration. The glorious Fourth of July celebration in Laporte was a de cided success despite the fact that j the new power boat was not afloat | on its maiden journey owing to the fact that the engine did not arrive in time to be installed. The parade and exercises in the high school auditorium were car- ' ried Out in a very creditable man ner by the participants, in the fore-noou. „ The afternoon was given to sports at the lake and a base ball game on the athletic grounds between Hughesville and Laporte. which resulted very dis asterously to the Laporte .iin, the score being 10 to 1 iu favor of Hughesville. Still the game had many good plays that kept the in terest of the onlookers. ( All day the bathing beach was , crowded with those who sought comfort in the waters of Lake . Mokoma and the lake itself was well covered with row boats and ( canoes. The big merry-go-round j furnished amusements , for both ] young and old and those who pre- j ferred dancing were welcomed to \ the dance paviliou by a good ] orchestra. The Hughesville band j furnished creditable music both at \ the lake and in Laporte. The dis- J play of fire works at the lake in J the evening was very liberal and j of good variety. J Taking everything into consider- J ation the celebration was a credit J to the Lake Mokoma Company j and others who worked to make it \ a success and it can be truthfully J asserted that, those who came to J Laporte for a good outing and en- j joy able Fourth on the mountain j top, were given more than the \ worth of their time and money. j Harry W.

I !! t Must Pay For Paper Taking a paper out of the post oflice makes the recipient liable for the bill. O. D. Austin, a Butler (Mo.") publisher, sent his paper to Charles Burge. The latter paid for it twice and then refused to pay again. He said be ordered it stopped. But the court of appeals holds that mere acceptance of the paper created a liability. It adds: "The preparation and publi cation of a newspaper involves much mental and physical labor as well as outlay of money. One who accepts the paper by con tinuously taking it from the post office receives a benefit and pleas ure arising from such labor and ex penditure as full}' as if he ap propriated any other product of an other's labor, and by such act he must be held liable for the sub scription price." C. Walter Haas of Williamsport, representing the F. P. Light and Heat Company, was in Laporte part of the week. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
