Franklin.—The experiment of con-
tinuing school during the summer
months so that pupils in the seventh
and eighth grades and the high school
were given an opportunity to make up
work in which they had failed during
the winter term, has proven a suc-
cess beyond all expectations. There
were 38 pupils, who were placed ip
two rooms with one teacher in each.
In one room all except five passed
examinations, and four of these five
are being given another test under
direction of the city superintendent,
N. P. Kinsley. Fifteen out of nineteen
The summer school will become a per-
manent institution in Franklin.

Scandia.—Snakes are more plentiful
than huckleberries near here, and a
woman, Mrs. A. C. Walker, single-
handed, slew 32 in one day. The berry

office of burgess and that of councilmen have a number of aspirants
for the nomination and presumably a number are actively at work
for the nomination. Every voter is under a tremendous obligation.
If he is really a good citizen he will be true to himself, he will be
fair, and honest, and will only vote for such men as he really be-
lieves are the best fitted for the work—the work of serving the peo-
ple best and most acceptably, doing those things which bring credit
to the municipality. That is the issue that confronts every man In
Meyerdale, to vote at the primany election for the man who in his
judgment will make the best burgess, the best councilmen and
down the line to the lowest office. Religion, lodges, relationship.crgan’-
zations of whatever kind,—all these should be secondary. Letmen
be honest with themselves in the primary election. ‘‘I'o thine own
gelf be true, and it must follow as night the day, thou canst not be
false to any man.”’
Mexico's Struggle.
While Mexico is still in the throes of civil strife, and her atti-
tude towards the United States bitter, the fact nevertheless is that
on the surface, the southern republic has cooled off considerably
and the probabilicy is that the difficulty will be surmounted, and in
due course of time the republic will again live at peace with itself
for awhile and at peace with the world.
While a democratic republic or a republican democracy is ac-
cording to the ideas of a democratic or republican form of govern-
ment, the best form of government, yet for people to govern them-
selves, they must have a proper conception of the rights and prero-
gatives of the governing body and of the duties and obligations of
the governed, and as people rise in intelligence and training they
become better fitted to rule and be ruled. A strong hand, govern-
ing the illiterate, by the hard law that might make right is not the
government that should obtain in the 20th. century, but Mexico is
still in a large measure an anlettered people, who are superstitious,
ignorant and unreliable. Whether the man who had an Intimate
knowledge of Mexico was right or not, when he said every man is
a liar and every woman a strumpet we do not know, but Mexico
does not appeal to us as possessing those qualities which are the
pride and honor of free republics, whose influence elevates and
ennobles humanity.

Thaw is a Hero in Canada.
Harry Thaw has been guilty of shooting White, a wealthy and
prominent citizen of New York some years ago. Jerome was dis-
trict attorney at the time and handled the case against Thaw in a
masterly manner. Thaw was finally saved from the death chair
only to be taken to Matteawan, because he was insane when he
slew White. Every effort since then. that Thaw made to be freed
from the insane asylum. Jerome has come to the front and foiled
successfully every attempt. Thaw made his escape from the asy-
{um to British soil. Jerome is still his Nemesis, still hounding him,
and making every effort to get him back to the great state of New
York, the state which has two governors—and Charles F. Murphy,
but Tom Platt is dead. He is after Thaw because he is a violator
of the law, but, Jerome while on British soil indulged in a quiet
little gambling game. which according to the law of the land, north
of New York, was also a violation of British law, and as a conse-
quence he is charged with the violation of a law, whose penalty is
a year in prison. Thaw: is being followed because he violated the
law of the state of New York, and Jerome is his particular antago-
nist; while Jerome is in Canada, he is guilty of violating the Cana-
dian law and is out of jail on $500 bail. Canadian sympathy is in a
2 marked manner on the side of Thaw, and gradually the sympathy
of this country is going towards Thaw notwithstanding the fact
that he killed a man.

jing ?

ager of the company for several years,
will be retained.
Wilkes-Barre.—Sheriff Lewis P.
Kniffen declares that those women of
Luzerne county who have drinking
husbands are his best detectives and
furnish him with all the evidence
necessary to attack saloonmen for
violation of the liquor laws. Several
months ago the sheriff began an at-
tack on the speakeasies, and he says
he has rid the county of this evil.
Now he is directing his attention to
saloons where the laws are being vio-
lated, and he has already asked the
court to revoke fifty licenses.
Warren.—The September term of
criminal court was remarkable for its
brevity. Although there had not been
a session since last term, not a single
case was tried and the petit jurors
were discharged the same day they
reported. The grand jurors were kept
two days because they visited the
county farm and other public build-
ings.
‘Meadville—Consumers of milk here
are protesting against a raise in the
price. They are now required to pay
eight cents a quart. The reason the
Meadville dealers gave for the ad-
vance was that the loss by reason
of the non-return of bottles was heavy.
This aroused persons who return the
bottles. They said that they should
not be taxed for the inability of the
dealers to compel consumers to return
bottles, and suggested that the price
be made eight cents with one cent
credit for each bottle returned. To
offset this other excuses were made.
Selinsgrove.—Banks Dreese, man-
ager of the Middleburg tannery, was
arrested by Fish Warden Holland,
and after a hearing before Justice of
the Peace Doebler, was convicted of
stream pollution by permitting
refuse of the tanpery to drain into
Middle creek near by.
Columbia.—Charles Hines, driver
of a delivery wagon here, has been
the victim of a chain of accidents
that seems quite unusual. Not long
ago the horse he was driving bit off
the tip of his thumb and before that
had healed another horse bit him in
the shoulder. Then he struck his
thumb on a stick, which opened the
wound afresh and he was obliged to
gt to the hospital for a second treat-
ment. About a week ago he removed
the bandages from his thumb, which
ter which he was trying to catch flew
off the nail.
