During the history of the ixswis
town Division of the I'. !:. !!.,
freight traffic has not been so heavy
as during the week just past, not
only the regular crews were kept
busy that the freight could lie hand
led, hut in order to do so it was ne
cessary for the regular local freight
crew to make several extra trips at
night, beside.-- their daily trips. Sun
dav the entire list of freight men
were revised, a new crew organized
and promotions made accordingly.
The dailies of Tuesday give an ac
count ol a man at Hutchinson, Kan.,
by the name of John Moore, who
left his live children perish in 'lames,
because lie was toomuoh excited to
go to their rescue. This reminds us
of a man at Selinsgrove during the
flood of 1893 when a stable took lire
from lime stored therein. One of
the citizens became excited and
rushed to a pump and got a bucket
of water and wuded waist deep
through the rushing stream to put
out the fire while now Sheriff Rittcr
and others were going there in a boat
and saved several buildings.
Deeds Must be Rerorded.
It does not appear to lie generally
known that a law was enacted by
the Legislature a year or two ago by
which the bolder of an unrecorded
deed is liable to lose it 'br want of
record. The law requires that all
deeds and conveyances must lie ac
knowledged and recorded iu theoflice
of the recorder of deeds within nine
ty days after execution of said deed,
and that every deed that is not prov
ed and recorded may lie adjudged
fraudulent and void.

Don t Give up the Ship.
The Main Shoe Factory Company
of Catawissa w ith whom the citizens
of this place have been nesotiatinff
to locate at this place, have decided
not to move as the people of Cata
wissa have raised some money and
they have decided to remain. If must
be slid, however, that the Main Shoe
Factory had not agreed to any speci
fic contract to come here and hence
they were not breaking anv contract
in deciding to remain. The refusal
of this company to locate here is no
reason for giving up the idea ot
getting up some industry for our
own. A stock company can he
raised here, two or threeskilled men
brought in and an industry started
that will employ from 50 to 100
hands and it should he done.

A Good Counterfeit.
A remarkably good counterfeit of
the half dollar of 1898 is being ex
tensively circulated. The coin was
slightly lighter than the genuine,
hut it rings clear and pure. It can't

that in the figures of the date the

are depressed iii the genuine are
elevated in the spurious coin, ow ing
