MINOR NATTERS
OF INTEREST
Dr. J. J Kl'ne of Alleutown, who
is at present sojourning in Danville
tells a story ot his well-known English
Setter, "Dave," that will be enjoyed
by all lovers of dogs. When Dr. Kliue
lived iu Danville Dave was the faith
ful wa'ch dog of his stables. He was
a uoble animal, kind aud companion
able, aud yet a stern and fiithful
guardian of his master's property.
There were few persons whokuew the
doctor who didu't know ''Dave."
When the veterinarian removed to
Allentown Dave went along. The
doctor says the dog is getting on in
years and he prooured a younger dog,
•o that while Davo still had a welcome
home, he WHS no longer au indispens
able commodity.
Some time ago Dave formed an at
tachment for a ltdy friend of the fam
ily, who lives in Trenton, N J . oue
hundred miles from Alleutown. She
expressed a wish to own the dou,
which was granted. Dave very willing
ly accompanied the lady to her distant
home a.i I news came back that he was
doing well.
Another letter followed after eorne
we>'ks stating (tot the dog had disap
peaie.l. Dave had net turned up in
Allentowu. bat a day or so later, as
the Doctor was looking down the
street he was greteed with the famil
iar sight of Dave slowly trotting along
The kindly doctor was very much af
fected by his old dog's return, while
Dave capered around and wagged his
tail as hard as lie could to tell how
glad he was to get back to his old
home again. Dave left Trenton one
Wednesday, traveling the one hundred
miles in ten days. The veterinarian
thinks it piobable that his dog made
the journey in easy stages, probably
forming acquaintances among the
farmers on the way and resting sever
al days at a time. The dog was taken
away in the cars and the rare in
atinct that enabled the homesick annu
al to find his way back over the strange
country is a nice thiug to reflect upon.
Charles Hilcher. victim of appendi
citis, will leave for Philadelphia to
day, where he will be operated on for
appendicitis in one of the Hospitals.
Last week he went to Wilkesharre for
treatment, but on arriving there it
was uot deemed inadvisable to have
an operation and he returned home
on Saturday evening. In the interval
following the acute attack he has been
able to give attention to his business.
It is witli the hope of warding off tiie
next ha'd attack that the operation
lias been decided upou. Dr. Stock has
the case in charge.
The abuudauce of snow since the
latter part of January is just the tiling
that was needed to protect the wheat
and to make anything like a full yield
possible. A well known farmer yes
terday stated that the outlook was not
at all ercouraging for a while after
the Holidays There was a lack of
anow accompanied with alternate fre> z
ing and thawing, which was hard on
wheat. The old-fashioned winter pre -
vailing siuce that time, he said, is just
what is needed.
February court did not prove a very
weighty proposition. Only one day
was actoallv spent in the trial of cas> s.
However, instances can be recalled
when ttie court of Quarter Se-sions in
Montour Oonnty was dispensed with
altogether and the jurors were notifi d
not to appear.
Publish the Laws.
Representative Reituieyer, of Ly
coming county, has introduced in the
House a bill providing for the publi
cation of the Acts of Assembly from
■essiou to session in a sufficient num
ber of newspapers IU each county. For
years there las been discussion of the
necessity of such a measure. Every
two years a large number of Import
ant laws are passed and with the ex
ception of a comparatively favored
class these acts are unknown to the
people As a result thete are many
violations of law through ignorance of
tbe-e enactments, especially such acts
as those regulating the sale of foods,
the hunting of game and fish, and
similar measure-"
There has been much hardship as a
result of legislation of this class and
the propose 1 law is one that will com
moud itself to the people of the Com
monwealth. While ignorance of the
law is no excuse uuder our system of
jurlsprudeure the fact that new laws
are unknown to the peop'e ought to be
a mitigation of the offenses frequently
charged against them. About all that
many persons buow of the new Acts of
Assembly is what they see in a frag
mentary way from time to time dur
ing the consideration of the bills bv
the Legisl iture Mr Reituieyer has
th" right idea As New York has been
publishing the laws of that State in
the newspapers for many years there
ought to be no opposition to the bill.

the shoulder of one. She was unable,
however, to ideutify the defendants as
the two men who stole her chickens,
although they corresponded in siza as
she was able to discern them in the
darkness. She saw tlie men disappear
in the direction of a loafing shanty
maintained at the rear end of a lot
nearby aud the nest morning found
that tiie tracks from the hen roo-t led
direct to the shauty in question, at
which place she fouud a htmiful of
white feathers, which was the color of
tha chickens stoleu. Theodore Poeth,
John Hanagan and Jacob Winters
were also witnesses in the case.
The two defendants, who give tlieir
ages respectively as lt> and 17 years,
entered the pie* of not guilty. They
were without counsel and when their
prerogative was explained to them
they desired togo upon the stand in
their own behalf. Tiny admitted that
they spent the nijiht of February 14.in
the loafing shauty, r. maiuiiig until ?
o'clock in t.'ie morning. They denied,
however, tint they stoie any chickens
or that chickens weie brought to the
shauty by any one during that night.
Oue of the boys confessed that he was
unable to read ox write; the other one

of Commonwealth vs. Ueorg6 Arnold
was attached in which tha charge wa
aggravated assault and bait ry with
intent to kill aud is one of tha two
cases which grew out of the shootiug
atlriy Friday night.
In the counter action of Common
wealth vs. William Keefer, the Grand
Jury ignored tha bill, placing tin cost
u[>on the prosecutor, George Arnold.
William Keefer, who ha 1 been cinfin
eJ in jail siuce his at rest, was accord
ingly dischirgei from custody.
Shortly baiore 4 o'clock ilia Jury in

sion of sentence and a new trial.
William Keefer was tli • first wituess
against Arnold wh n tha lath r was
placed on trial to answer tha i-lnrge
of aa-iault and battery with n teut to
kill. He described the cireum tan es
of the shooting as made public at the
time of the occurrence. He exhibited
tha bullet wound in his abdomen to
the jury, showed tha bullet holes in
his coat and identified tha revolver
produced as tha one wh cli ha hid as
sisted in taking from tha prisoner. It
was the secoud hliot, he said, which
had taken effect in Ins abdomen.
William Truitf, of Buffalo, who is
employed on the river bridge, was the
next witness. He said he was looking
for the home of a cousin who lives on
Welsh Hill aud with a companion
William Javins, was passing by the
Railroad crossing when the shooting
occurred. He was a witness of the
"whole transaction." Arnold, lie Haiti,
was the fir-t to draw a revolver and
shot four times before Keefer replied
with a shot. Javius also testified cor
roborating Truitr.

testimony of odicer Voris.
At 4:80 the Commonwealth rested.

Bladder troubles most always result from

can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald

unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon

Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
