Republican Editorial Batteries Still
Shelling the Enemy.
FINE WORK FOR ROOSEVELT
The Democrats Are at a Loss For
Ammunition and Many Are Mak
ing Little Show of Fighting.
Pennsylvania editors continue their
effective work in the canipain for
Roosevelt and Fairbanits, and they ar9
not leaving the Democrats any ground
to stand upon in the contest in which
th<» minority party Is so heavily han
dicapped. There has been a constant
and scathing fire from the Republican
batteries, and in many cases the Demo
crats have not even dared to respond.
Here are a few of the latest shots at
the opposition:
Vote For Republican Congressmen.
Suppose that the present Republican
house of representatives should give
place to a Democratic majority and
John Sharp Williams should become
speaker of the house, who would most
likely displace Mr. Sereno E. Payne
as chairman of the ways and means
committee? Possibly Bourke Cockran.
Possibly Champ Clark. Possibly and
probably some southern Democrat
who has always been and always will
be a free trader in spite of Mr. Clark's
declaration that the Democratic party
never was and never will be a free
trade party.
To prevent any such a possibility
vote for your Republican congres
sional candidate. Williamsport Ga
zette and Bulletin.
A Party Without Sense.
The Democratic party, as a party,
has no sense. It never had. For eight
years it has putin its time predicting
things any sane man knows could
never come to pass. The Democratic
campaign keynote has become a yawp
Instead of a promise. It is facing a
prosperous country once more with
all of its predictions discredited and
not a single principle on which to ap
peal for votes. The reason the voters
are not interested in this campaign is
because the Democrats have nothing
of interest to offer. —Northeast (Erie
Co.) Breeze.
Democrats Are Unhappy.
The Democratic campaign is not
many weeks old. but that it has been
unsatisfactory from the Parker point
of view is evident. Ther* have been
three changes In the important post
of commander-in-chief. Taggart was
elected to the office of national chair
man; Belmont, with Parker's conni
vance, took the power out of Tag
gart's hands, and now the astute and
unscrupulous Gorman succeeds Bel
mont as the virtual leader of the cam
paign.—Meadvllle Tribune Republican.
Tariff the Supreme Issue.
A good many important questions
are to be considered in the national
campaign, but protection to American
Industry is still paramount. When
the Democratic platform, adopted at
St. Louis, declared that "protection is
robbery," it made the tariff the su
preme issue of the campaign.—Scran-
ton Truth.
A Timely Warning.
Republican voters should remember.
In order to qualify for voting this fall,
that the last dav for payment of taxes
is Saturday fvt ' - v lh. D» n't for
get this ini| rtant matter See to It
at once and .• lal ■ sure of your \ te
for If osevelt and the whole Itepubli
can ticket. — Warren Mail.
The Truth Tersely Told.
It is beth r for this country t'» fe i
house and clothe our own I 'h-ir it thi>
countrv than to import ton i-n In' or
In other countries with oi r money.
Under protection wi take i m of our
own, under free tin !c we give the
benefit to foreign nations Cameron
County Press.
Should Appeal to Business Interests.
The strongest argument the Repub
licans have in the present campaign
is their appeal to the business inter
ests of the country. There is really
little. If any politics, which is funda
mental, left for discussion - Bradford
Evening Star.
No Danger of a Miracle.
Secretary Andrews, of the Republi
can state committee, says nothing
short of a miracle can defeat lioosi
velt and Fairbanks, and Vermont and
Maine do not indicate that there is
any danger of that kind of miracle
coming to the aid of the Democrats.

travagance is official crime." every

PRELIMINARY
HEARING
[Continued from First Page. |
pany's property and after being struck
by a tie.
Amnion Keiser, an operator at the
D. L. & W. station,testified to finding
the key hole of his station door plug
ged with cinder and having to enter
through a window. He gave 110 new
testimony except that he admitted that
the engine of the Scranton train was
waved back with red lights before ties
were placed in front of it.
Diiuiel Blizazrd, a section foreman,
who was next called, testified as the
others did and added liis own experi
ence of hitting a man when the ties
were being thrown and in turn being
hit. For a while after that he was ob
livious to what transpired. 011 cross
examination he professed ignorance of
a car of pick handles being on the train
trom Scranton and a load of Italians
figuring in the case, and in response
to a direct question said he received
no order that night to remcve an ob
struction from the track, but was sup
posed to work without an order.
Dennis '^iueen,another section fore
man, gave his version of the frog-iay
ing.
J. E. Adamsou, chief special agent
of the D. L.it W.,told of arriving on
the Scrauton train and signalling the
engine togo ahead to the crossing at
Mill street at the time ties were being
placed 00 the rails by citizens and
workmen. In the course of his testi
mony it developed, 011 cross examina
tion, what a difficult matter the serv
ing of the injunction on the railroad
people was,the man who tried to serve
it being thrown from the engine. The
witness, replying to question, said
there was too much noise for him to
hear instructions given the wan to
serve the injunction. He denied any
knowledge of an attempt to throw Mr.
Pascoe over a safety gate. After tell
ing of tli3 running forward of the en
gine to stop the work on the frog he
replied to Mr. Scarlet's question as to
the danger of muning into the crowd
and whether he would have stopped
the engiue by saying: "I don't know
what I would have dono." "That's a
very good answer," the attorney re
plied.
E. M. Rine, division superintend
ent, told of the railroad men having
acted under his orders ami like the
other witnesses gave an account of the
happenings of the night of the twenty
second. Asked if the engine was tak
en from the track as soon as the in
junction was served, he said it was 011
the track from 3:55 to 5:80 a m. He
denied trying to throw Mr. Pascoe ov
er the safety gates and said: "No, I
did not strike him, I'm a gentleman."
The witness told of Mr. Pascoo's men
lowering a joint that was necessary to
be put down before tlie engine couH
leave the crossing. The engine was
uuder Mr. Rine's order to run ou the
crossing, the order being givtn at mid
night. He denied knowing th it trains
later rail over the crossing at unusual
speed to knock out the frog and said
he gave an order to have tin 111 go as
usual when told they were going too
fast.
Division Engineer Ray next took the
stand and explained maps and plans
for overhead crossings by Mill streit,
Perry street or an alley route and gave j
figures to show that from an engineer
ing stand po:nt the overhead crossing
was possible, although Attorney Scar- '
let clearly set forth what the blocking
up of 008 feet of Danville's uiaiu street j
would mean and showed that even the !
turning of a load of hay :u a thorough !
faro tiius obstructed would be a com- ]
plicated process. Citizens would be i
inconvenienced by the inability to get .
off at store entrnttces and oue of the j
routes proposed would run directly I
through the vaults of tiie First Na- j
tional bank. The track would have an
elevation ot 18 feet and the curs would
have togo down a sttep grade and
strike the Bloom street track nearly
at right angles, which the attorneys
for the trolley people contend would
be more dangerous than a grade cross- j
ing with guard gates and a watchman, j
Attorney Scarlet objected to the at
tempt to show that another route than
the Mill street one could be used.
However, when Attorney Hinckley
called on experts for testimony they
favored the Ferry street line. En
gineer Baker of New York,a projector
of several elevated roads, and Thomas '
A. Wright, of Wilkesbarre, general
superintendent of the Wilkesbarre
Mountain Valley Traction Company,
gave expert testimony to the effect
that so far as engineering work goes
the overhead crossing is possible. Mr.
Wright gave as a rough estimate $14,-
000 for tho cost of the construction of
an overhead crossing, not accounting
for right of way or incidentals.
Improving Foust Brewery.
The Foust brewery, which receutly
was enlarged and improved, was be
ing cleaned up yesterday, all of the
loose stuff on the grounds b iug re
moved. The roofing of a part of the
addition will be started soon.

FAITH IN EYE STONES
FOREIGNLRS USE THEM TO REMOVE
SPECKS FROM THE EYE.
The Way the StoneH Travel and Do
Their CleaiiNliiK Work—They Are

Obtained From the Crawfish.
The druggist was examining a dozen
small objects that looked like tiny
brown and white agate marbles split
lu half when one of the men who had
bought cigars asked hint what they
were.
"They are eye stones," said the drug
gist, with a smile.
"Great Scott!" cried the man who
WHS supporting the cigar case. "L>o
you mean to say that you keep those
things?"
"Yes," said the druggist, and there
was a note of sadness in his voice; "we
keep them. We keep tliem because we
can't sell them.
"In h store like this,"he continued
after a moment's collection, "there Isn't
much demand for them, but In a place
where foreigners form the majority of
the customers these stones, like leeches,
sell like liot cakes. If you get some
thing in your eye you monkey with it
for awhile, and tlien If it won't come
out you goto an oculist. That's the
way it is with most people nowadays,
but the foreign born residents—the
Italians, the Hungarians, the Slavs and
Poles and some of the others—have so
much faith in the virtue of these stones
they hie themselves to drug stores and
get eye stones.
"You know and I know that in these
stones themselves there Is no life, but
you can't convince some of these for
eigners of that fact. They insist that
because the stones 'travel around' in a
person's eye, or, rather, under a per
son's eyelid, they 'must have life.*
It is true that if a man—or a woman,
for that matter—puts an eye stone un
der his or her eyelid it will 'travel,' but
that is not because there is any life in
these things. It Is due entirely to the
action of the eye. As the eye turns it
moves the stone, and it is that which
makes it 'travel.' When you put one
of these things into your eye the stone
becomes sticky from the moisture, and
as it 'travels' It brushes against any
thing that may be on the eyeball. Now,
If this foreign substance Is a si>ock of
dust or something that isn't embedded
in the ball it will adhere to the sticky
stone and coiue out with It.
"With some of these foreigners there
Is nothing that is more serious than the
getting of something in their eyes and
the using of these stones. It is all very
solemn to them. They seem to think
that they cannot use these stones un
less they goto bed and tie up their
heads. As soon as one of them puts
an eye stone under Ills eyelid he places
a lot of bandages over his eye and lies
down. If the stone behaves as any self
respecting eye stone should behave, it
'travels' about the eyeball, making a
complete circuit, and works its way
out, and if it does its work in the prop
er way it brings with It whatever may
have been in the eye unless, as I said
before, the substance Is imbedded there,
as small pieces of steel often are. In
that case the stone won't budge it, but
that fact doesn't shake the confidence
of some of these foreigners. If it means
anything to them, it is simply the fact
thut the stone is 'no good,' and that is
generally taken as proof that the drug
gist who sold it Is a 'skin.'
"There is no doubt that in many
eases these stones do all that Is expect
ed of them, but few persons aside from
the foreigners fool with them, because
there are other and quicker ways of
getting rid of whatever there may be
In one's eyes. It usually takes a long
time for one of these stones to get
around an eye, and, while It doesn't
hurt to have It there, the troublesome
speck remains on the ball and keeps up
Its fine work all the time that you are
waiting for the eye stone to do its stunt.
As a general thing, it is a simple mat
ter to remove any foreign substance
from a person's eye. If you catch hold
of the eyelash and draw the lid down
and out and then roll the eye, it's dol
lars to doughnuts that you will soon be
rid of the pain producing atom, and if
that fails it is j_' in ■.■ ally easy to re
move the speck with the corner of a
handkerchief. If that doesn't work,

TO IMPROVE THE
TROLLEY ROAD
The Columbia an<l Moutour trolley
roal is to bo extensively improved ami
a new power plant that will occupy a
50x50 foot buildiug will be erected at
Berwick. In it will be installed a 200
kilowatt generator and a iioO horse
power engine. It will be just an aux
iliary pi wit. A 150 kilowatt rotary
converter will be stationed at Willow
Grove, where now there is a 100 kilo
watt converter, and the new one will
make it possible to continue operation
even if accident should befall one
machine. This work will be done
within six months.
A charter has been granted for the
Berwick belt line, an extension of the
Columbia and Moutour, which will
reach Nescopeck as soon as the brHge
is up. It will run up Market street,

An absurd and reprehensibly destruc
tive practice is the building of fires be
neath a tree "In order to get the draft,"
says a writer lu the Rpringfleld Repub
lican. The fools that do this kill great
trees for nothing but a campflre. There
is no sense In that wretched practice.
A tire for camp cooking should be built
in the open, and nothing is easier. A
bare rock is the best place, and if you
are to cook by it put up a barrier of
loose stone Just extensive enough to
make a fire as large as a kitchen stove
would hold, put a flat stone over these
walls, and you have all you want. You
can fry bacon and your corn cakes and
boil your coffee on that stone. This is
as good for winter as for summer. And
if you want a hot old campflre clear a
space of all combustibles and begin
small, gradually adding a stick or two,
and the heat beneath will soon grow so
strong that you can keep it up fora»
many hours as you please. But be sure
that you let It get down to the ashes
before you leave. Nobody knows what
may happen ufter you leave a blazing

TO PREVENT DAMAGE
BY ICE TO BRIDGES
Experiments are to be made this
year to prevent damage to bridges by
ice gorges in the Susquehanna rivar.
Last spring the bridges at many points
were greatly damaged by the gorges
It is planned to place heavy steel
bars along the vulnerable points of the
stone piers. They will be firmly fast
ened in such a manner as to keep the
piers from being injured by the great
blocks of ice that are loosened with
the breaking of the gorges and the
flooding of the river.
The bridges along the lower section
of the river aro to receive attention
first.
The work of putting ou the steel
bars will require several months.
"Human Hearts."
The visit of "Human Hearts" at the
theatre tonight will no doubt bo
warmly welcomed by the lovers of all
that is good in melodrama. "Human
Hearts" is beyond question,one of the
strongest and most interesting plays
that has ever visited our city. The
author belongs to that all too small
group of dramatists, who understands
how to reach the heart aud hold the
attention of theaudiouce. In "Human
Hearts" he has constructed a play
that will never grow old. The
theme of the play is Hope,aud has not
some author written, "Hope springs
eternal in the human breast?" Hope,
the one bright ray of sunshine, that
breaks through aad illumines the
clouds of despair that almost over
whelms poor Tom Logan. The hope of
a good, pare woman's love; the hope
of brighter, better days; the hope of
an honest man, unjustly accused of
crime, that the criminal will ba de
tected and his good name restored.
Mr. Reid has handled his subject with
the consumate skill aud ease that
shows the true dramatic instinct.

glimpsos of it here about the city iu
the changing foilage of the trees and
color ou the nearby hills, and iu the
Ireshuess of the breezes. And those
wise and self-contained individuals
who have postponed their annual vaca
tion to this time depart with joy fcr
the delights of duck hunting along the
rivers or of nutting in the woods.
There is a good deal of time yet before
the Winter closes in upon ns in this
latitude, aud the early Autumn is the
most precious aud delightful of this
transition period.

QUO WARRANTO
PROCEEDINGS
Argument was heard before Deputy
Attorney General Fleitz yesterday on
the petition of the Danville and Sun
bury Street Railway Co. for a writ
of quo warranto directed against the
Danville and Riverside Street Hail
way Company and the Danville and
Bloomsburg Street Railway Company,
requiring the latter to show cause why
thf*y should not be dispossessed of
their charter rights. A decision is not
expected for some days.
Both the petitioning and respondent
companies wers chartered under the
Focht street railway act of 1901. The
Danville and Snubury Company allege
that the Danville and Riverside com
pany never attempted to exercise any
of their charter rights, nor to make
use of the provisions of the franchise
granted them by the borough of Blooms
burg.
They also claim that the original
charter was defective in that it con
tained a clause permitting the Dan
ville and Sunbury Company to use
2,500 feet of the route of the Berwick
and Bloouisburg Street Railway Com
pany, which clause the Supreme Court
lias declared to be unconstitutional.
Tiie Danville and Bloomsburg Com
pany sets up the defence that because
of the unconstitutionality of this
clause they were justified iu getting
out a charter for the same route before
the required two year limit had expir
ed. The Danville and Sunbury Com
pany secured their charter after the
expiration of the two year limit.
The suit means much to street rail
way interests iu general, and involves
about 1250,000 already expended by the
Danville and Bloomsburg Company
whose line between Dauville and
Bloomsburg was only opened for travel
this week.—Harrisburg Patriot.
The Danville and Bloomsburg Com
pany were represented by Hon. Grant
Herring of Bloomsburg,Ex-Judge KOTII
of Reading and James Scarlet, E q .
of this city. The interests of the D u
ville and Sunbury Company we"e look
ed after by Hon. Lyman D. Gilbert of

Timely and Valuable Suggestions.
Many people,especially women who
lead closely confined domestic lives,
suffer from what in general terms is
callel "nervousness." Among all
forms of treatment none has even ap
proached in success the intelligent use
of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy, of Rondout, N. Y., which
promotes an easy anil natural action
of tho digestivo organs and imparts
tone to tho nervous system.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
In an address before the Lynn,Mass.,
Y. M. C. A., Attorney General Moody
said:
"Everywhere that the Young Men's
Christian Association has come Into
rivalry with the saloon the latter lias
been worsted and the people of Lynn
can make no better investment in be
half of the young men of the city than
to give liberally toward the fund for
the erection of the proposed structure.
Many of you will remember that I
was once prosecuting officer of Essex
county, and as such I probably knew 1
more about the trials and temptations
of our young men than auy of you,
and I tell you that you will find the
costliest Young Men's Christian As
sociation building that you can erect
for your young men, where they will
be brought under good influences,
cheaper to support than a courthouse
and district attorney. God has given
some men a taot or indefinable some
thing which enables them to accumu
late wealth, and this money is giveu
them for a purpose—to help their ♦el
low men—and in the Y. M. C. A.
there is the grandest of opportunities
for using money."
Will Never Work Again.
George Schley, who was injured by
falling to the bottom of one of the

side is paralyzed and he will not again
be able to work.
