Que man's sunshine may be auoth- | er's darkness. Adversity is powerless to subdue the brave and resolute spirit. Sometimes it looks to one as if truth has mighty few followers. Those of us who are iu tho minority ! are not necessarily wrong. The sting of disappointment, paiu- i ful as it is, may bring health. Ignorance and illiteracy are two vastly different tilings. Language is not always equal to the j emotions of the human heart. A political obligatiou should be as | sacredly regarded as any other. The socialists talk of nominating W. i D.

While Tennessee has 3,575 miles of railroad track it is rather unevenly distributed, for there are fourteen counties iu that state that never hear the whistle of a locomotive. Up to this time anti-local option organizations have been formed in forty-six counties iu the State, to op pose candidates for the State legisla ture who may favor the submission ot the qin -tion of local option to a vote of the people.

C. C. Evans, president judge, and Associates I 'fi. G. Blee and Hou. L. W. Welliver being on the bench. Each application J for license was gtanfed. | During the session Judge Evans took occasion to define his position very j clearly,not ouly as to the enforcement j of the liquor law, but also the law ro | ,'ating to slot, machines. He explained ' that it had been brought, to the atten j tion of the court, that a number of slot j machines are Iu operation in Danville. He was not prepared to state whether this report was well founded or not, but he wished it distinctly understood that, if slot machines are maintained iu Montour county they will have to SO. In Columbia county there were j three prosecutions for maintaining ! slot machines. Conviction followed ; iu two cases, fine and costs in one case approximating 8400.00. The operation i ol slot machines is contrary to tho act of assembly and Judge Evaus warned all dealers that if prosecution occurred j in this county and conviction follow ed the court could be relied upon to follow the mandate of the law. j William Ease West withdrew the ! application of William Spade for li i cense in the Trainor building. North i Mill street. Before taking up the oth er applications Judge Evans read a i communication addressed to tho court and signed by six married women, in | which it was ohargod that the liquor laws are violated at the Cilendower i housc—tliat boys and girls between ; the ages of IB and 20 are iu the habit ! of frequenting the place,playing baga telle and drinking. Joseph Smith, the proprietor of the Gleudower house, was summoned to the caurt, house aud called before Judge Evans. Ti-.e court apprised him of the charge brought against him, inform ing him that it was only just that he should have au opportunity to auswer. Mr. Smith,the proprietor, emphatic ! ally denied the charge. Iu no inst ance, he said, are any children ever ! permitted iu his hotel. Judge Evaus stated that similar re ports affeotiug another house had reached him and he sounded a note of warning to tho effect that if such re ; ports could bo sustained prosecution 1 would follow aud iu case of convic tion the full penalty of the law would be imposed. Judge Evaus stated that in his opin ion there are too many licensed places iu Danville. This, however, he said, is a matter for the people of tho town to take up. It will be only a matter of time until a number of houses will have to go. It will be a question of the survival of tho fittest. The dealers who violate the law will be the first to lose their license. Judge Evaus stated also that he lias heard that the order requiring licens ed places to be closed between mid night and 5 a. m. is being violated by some. This order, he said, is still in force and must bo obeyed. The court after looking over the ap plications selected a batch that repre sented houses now licensed, where the applicants are the same as last year. In view of the fact that no remonstr ances were filed these applications were granted. There were still remaining three applications representing houses at present licensed, but where the ap plicants are new. These men were one at a time called before the court aud examined as to their character and general fitness for the business. Thomas Gernhiyt of Anthony town ship, who was an applicant for license ,it Strawberry.ridge at the hotel stand formerly occupied by Mr. Beaver, was j lirst called before court. Among the witnesses who testified iu his favor w ro Joseph W. Koons and .loliu A. Ellis, of Anthony township. Francis Slietler. who has purchased the Fred Moser hotel in Valley town -hip and who had applied for a license for that stand, was next examined. Frank Ellis aud John A. Ellis of An thony township testified as to his character and standing in the com munity. Charles A. Rausch of this city was an applicant for license at the Trainor i house, formerly kept by William Spade. George R. S. | sitting iu license court this wetl< has I decreed that no musical instruments shall be operated played or n-■ . 1 in bar-rooms, and license* may be sum mar ly revoked for a vlolatl"n r.t rhi order.

Han is and Hiram Temple are younger brothers of W. H. or "Bill" Temple, and live with their father iu another part of town. The three brothers were immediate ly placed iu the loßfc-up for safe keep ing until the time arrived for taking the traiu. On the way to the lock-up Hiram practically acknowledged com pl city iu the robbery, explaining to Officer Voris that himself and Hariis merely remained outside while the elder brother went through the store. Iu the interim,before the train left, the three policemen, accompanied by Mi. Boyer, went out to the residence of W. H, Temple on Montour row and there recovered and identified oue blouse,oue pair of overalls,two -darts, three pair of gloves three pair of chil dren's shoes,one pair of gums aud two pairs of felts.

IS DEFEND NNT Alleging that the York Bridge com pany was negligent, aud that it used old and worn timbers in supporting the traveler on the new Mifflinvillo bridge, which collapsed,sending seven men to their deaths, Mrs. Anna Mus selman. widow of Adam W. Mussel man, oue of the victims, has brought suit in the Colubmia county conrty to recover 810,000 damages. Clinton Herring, of Bloomsburg, Frank Wagenseller.of Selinsgrove.and Herring aud Wolvertou, of Suubury, are the attorneys for the plaintiff. They filed the preliminary papers in the prothonotary's office Wednesday afternoon.

For this reason she seeks to re cover pecuniary damages for the loss of her husband. John Morrison, a teamster of Anda lusia, Bucks county, was struck by a Pennsylvania express train on Mon day. His wife, who had waited a long time for him. went iu search of him and found his mangled remains j scattered along the track. .Tust as the funeral services at the home of Samuel Searfoss, of Norris town, over the remains of a young son, were concluded on Monday, a twin brother died in an upper room, adding greatly to the grief of the par- I ents.
