PETER DIETRICH
BEFORE COURT
The matter of admitting Peter Diet- j
rich to bail came up before court at;
a special session yesterday. Dietrich,
looking perfectly well and cheerful,
was brought into the court room by
Sheriff Williams about 11 o'clock It
was not until a few minutes before 12
o'clock that lie was called before court
Meanwhile, he was an interested spec
tator of the proceedings, which relat
ed to the issue between E. W. Peters
and Prothouotary Viuceut concerning,
tax liens.
When, iu compliance with request, !
he took his place before court Judge !
Evans referred to the order made on
July 11th fixing bail at J15.000, con-:
ditioned on his appearance in the!
court of oyer and terminer in Luzerne
county on September 14. 1908, and ;
asked him if he was ready to enter in-;
to recognizance. Dietrich's answer j
was that he was not ready, explain- j
ing a circumstance that prevented him
from having all details arranged.
The court accordingly made the fol
lowing order:
To D. C. Williams, High Sheriff of
Montonr county :
Peter Dietrich having failed to en
ter into recognizance as directed yon
are hereby directed and required on or
before the first day of the next term

order as to recognizance, there to be
safely kept by the jailer of Luzerne
county until discharged or otherwise

conveying him to the jail of Luzerne
county you be allowed one assistant.

Ml I BEST
REFUSED 10 PLEAD
Alexauder M. Best, charged with
assault and battery, who was commit
ted to the county prison Saturday iu
default of hail, appeared before court
yesterday for the purpose of availing
himself of the provisions of the act of !
1907. The indictment, however, was
not in such shape as he expected to
find it and the outcome was timt he
reconsidered the matter and went hack
to jnil.
District Attorney C. P. Gearhart |
explained to the court that the defen
dant had decided to plead guilty to
the indictment and take his sentence.
The charge, however, was found to be
"assault and battery." At the hearing
before the justice the defendant plead
ed gnilty to assault but he denied the
"battery". When lie saw the indict
ment yesterday, which charged both,
he accordingly refused to plead guilty
Under the circumstances the court
explained that nothing remained but
to remand the defendant backjto jail.
I Best, therefore, after an hour oi free
dom, was escorted back to the county
| bastile, where it is possible he may
j remain until the next 'orm of court,
:n October.
MEXICAN POLITENESS.
In the State of Michoacan Chivalry li
Compjulsory.
I "If any man opines that the days of
chivalry and the true knight errant
i spirit have gone forever, let him start
; forthwith on a far southward journey,
not halt his steps until he brings up
In the town of Morelia. which is the
capital of the Mexican state of
Michoacan," remarked a traveling
man.
| "Having arrived in Morelia, he will
at once see that the chivalrous spirit
still survives. I was down there not
long ago, and the gallantry of the men
and their extreme readiness to extend
courtesies to the fair sex pleased and
surprised me. When I noticed the
alacrity with which the native males
jumped up on the crowded street car
to offer their seats to the first senorlta
that entered, I thought to myself how
much more gentlemanly are these
Mexicans than many of my own coun
trymen. They do not wait to see W
some other man Is going to get up, but
each tries to beat the other In cour
teously proffering his seat to the lady
i"I spoke about the matter to the pro
! prletor of the hotel and immediately
j he began to laugh,
j " 'You must understand, senor,' said
j the Innkeeper, 'tliat the governor ot
j our state issued a decree that if anj
i man keep his seat In a street car.
i thereby compelling a woman to stand
; he is liable to arrest and a fine. The
[ police have been instructed to execute
j this order severely, and I think this
! has much to do with the prompt polite
ness of which you speak, since none of
j our population wishes to become in
volved with the police and to lie pub
licly branded as lacking in gentility.' "
—Baltimore American.
His Reason.
J "I desire to swear off my taxes,"
said the millionaire.
"Of course we understand that,"
suggested the official, "but it Is neces
sary to give some reason—merely as a
form, you know."
"Why, it's so much easier to sweat
off than to pay them!" replied the mil
lionaire, somewhat bored.
The rest was the merest routine.*
Iteggy—You rude ruffian! I'll knock
your brains out.
Dennis—Shure, an' thot's phwhere

IHMS
IE RE-ARRESTED
To be arrested, commit ted to prison,
liberated, rearrested after returning
to his home and securely locked be
hind the bars tor the second time, all
within the Bliort period of five days is
an experience -that does not fall to the
lot of the average person who is called
to answer to the law.
As explained in these columns An
drew Koilack, Stephen Majaskon and
Michael Manariek, young miners of
Mahauoy City, on Friday, were ar
rested by special officers Parsley and
Buery for illegal car riding. In de
fault of payment of fine and costs they
were committed to the county jail at
this place. On Saturday the board of
county commissioners, acting on what
they considered to be good precedent,
decided they would not pay for the
maintenance of prisoners arrested for
illegal car riding and ordered the three
car jumpers released.
Sheriff Williams yesterday explain
ed that he did not like the idea of
turning the illegal ear riders loose
and protested that he had no author
ity to do so. However, when lie saw
that the board of county commission
ers was determined in the matter he
followed directions and let the pris
oners loose Saturday afternoon.
Bv ilonday the sheriff found that
his miSft iviugs in the matter were
well founded. Early in the dnv he re
ceived a communication from the at
torneys of the P. & K. Railway com
pany at Sunbury, which revealed the
whole mutter in a new light. The
communication was peremptory in
tone aiid made it clear to the sheriff
that but one thing remained fcr him
to do in the premises and that was to
get the three prisoneis back in jail
without the least possible delay. As a
matter of fact yesterday was the limit!
of time fixed during which the sheriff j
was to get the men back into their!
cells.
When the sheriff received the com
munication the three car jumpers had
been at liberty a couple of days and :
there whereabouts were unknown. As-1
suming, however that the men had re- j
turned to their homes the sheriff de-1
spatched his deputy, George Maiers, '
to Mahanoy City with instructions to
rearrest them, if they could be found.
By a stroke of sheer good luck the
car jumpers were located. Unsuspect
ing, after their unexpected release
they had gone directly to Mahanoy
City. Two of them were found in
their homes, aud the other in the coal
mine, where he had resumed his job.
That the poor fellows were surprised
at the unexpected turn taken by events
no one will doubt. They were brought
back to Danville by Deputy Maiers
yesterday morning and placed in the
county jail.
INDIAN MARRIAGES.
Peculiar Rites of the Hopi and the
Navajo Tribes,
Marriage among tlie Topi, a tribe of
the Pueblo Indians, Is an institution
regarding which those moet concerned
have least to say. When the parents
of a girl find It expedient for her to
get married, they look up an available
man and negotiate with his parents.
After the matter has been arranged
tlie principals are notified. The girl goes
to the home of the groom's parents
and grinds corn for them for three
weeks, while the groom makes a kind
of sash for the bride. Then one morn
ing at sunrise they both bathe their
heads In cold water, which completes
the ceremony. There have been in
stances of the groom's refusing togo
through the performance, which has
then proceeded without him and been
accounted valid, and several weeks
later he has yielded and had his head
bathed.
The Navajo ceremony is much more
elaborate and Impressive, but then the
Navajo girls are much nicer. The reg
ular tariff on a Navajo girl entering
the port of matrimony for the first
time is twelve horses. On the second
occasion the tax is nine horses, while
subsequent entries are free.
This is not purchase money, but is
merely a tribute of respect to a
mother-in-law and a token of apprecia
tion of the care and expense Involved
In bearing and rearing the lady, a
recognition not unworthy of considera
tion by civilized On the other
hand, and deserving of great condem
nation, is that law of many tribes, un
written, but of much sanctity, fliat a
man and his mother-in-law shall never
meet after the ceremony.—A. W. Dim
ock in Outing Magazine.
The coin of smallest value ever Is
sued is the "mite," so called, such as
the widow of the Bible story contrib
uted to the poor. Its shape was hex
agonal nnd its face valuo one-fiftieth
of a cent. Five thousand mites are
the equivalent in value of one Ameri
can dollar.

BRICK SUGGESTED
FOE SM ROADS
It is believed the time is not far dis
tant when state roads in Pennsylvania
will be constructed of brick instead of
macadam. While macadam is a great
improvement over dirt roads, brick is
rapidly displacing the former and is
becoming more nopular as its advant
ages are made known.
One element in favor of brick is the
matter of cost. It is asserted that a
properly constructed brick highway
can be built at even less cost, especial
ly in this section of the country, where
much of the macadam material has to
be shipped in at a cost much in excess
of the material's value. The prepara
tion of the toad for brick is no more
expensive than that for macadam, and
its lasting qualities are much greater.
It is a fact that however carefully
macadam road is built it wears out
rapidly and requires almost constant
attention. Brick paving last for years
and where a section of road does yield
through sinking or wear it can be re
placed easily and at no great cost.
The test has already been made and
the unanimous opinion is that brick is
much the superior. It is said that the
State Highway Commissioner is look
ing with favor on the brick road and
that will advocate that material where
new highwavs are being projected.
Travelers' Tales.
A distinguished traveler and war
correspondent on a lecture tour in
Scotland spoke one night at a little
village four miles from a railway sta
-1 tlon.
The chairman of the occasion, after
introducing the lecturer as "the mon
wha's come here tae broaden oor intel
lects," said that he felt that a wee bit
prayer would not be out of pleaee.
"And, O Lord," he went on. "pit it
intae the heart o' this mon tae speak
the truth, the hale truth and naething
but the truth, and gie us grace tae un
\ derstan' him."
Then, with a glance at the lecturer,
the chairman said, "I've been a trav
eler ineself.'
Ant 9 as Fertilizers.

ADVERTISING IN
THE LOCAL PAPERS
Wesley A. Sfaugcr, editor of the
Office Outfitter, Chicago, recently made
an addresss before a bouy <,f retailers
iu which ho (ailed attention to the
value of the looal newspapsr. He said
in part:
"The local ut.w?v*T 1 "" >s the great
est thing the retailer has if he will
use it right,but a large proportion are
too prone to believe that the editor
will take care of their interests,
whether they look after his or not
This is wrong. If merchants as a class
would only take advantage of the op
portunities that the local newspapers
afford them they would reap rewards
far beyond their fondest dreams.
"While self preservation is the first
law of nature, editors of local papers
have a habit of letting self interest go
to the limit wtien it comes to a ques
tion of serving the community. For
this they are entitled to recognition,
which they rarely receive.
"No doubt the retailers have en
couraged them as far as sentiment
goes. They have undoubtedly sa,d
that they approved of the editor's me
thods and called him "good boy," but
in how many cases have they falkn
short in the real encouragement that
| counts? How often have they neglect
!ed to use his columns, thinking that
they were clever in it'/ Iu failing to
i patronize liirn they have too often kill
ed the goose that laid the golden egg.
"You must get behind your local
1 editor and push for all you are worth.
Ho gives you #2 back for every dollar
you invest with him. He furnishes
for you at his own expense one of the
biggest assets you possess, the medium
through which to let the people know
i what you have to sell. Within recent
years the mail order proposition has
been somewhat bothersome. The edit
-1 ors of the country papers have done
; more than all other influences combin
ed to win business back into normal
channels and to reconvert the farmer
I to the logical belief in home trading.
| "The country eidtor refuses to take
t profits from your enemy when the
enemy will pay him more than you
| will. He refuses to accept business
from the mail order store in the dist
ant city and even goes further by tell
; ing how superior the local store is to
! the distant one and derailing the ad
vantages of buying at home.
"Do not let it be said in your com
munity that yon have let your editor's
work go unappreciated. Use Ids pap
er. Make him prosperous and yourself
rich doing it. If you have foolish
ideas about the nonproductiveness of
newspaper advertising, throw them off
and try it out. One try will prove
nothing. If it is successful, so much
tue better, but the constant use of the
paper in an intelligent manner will
produce the results.
"The best friend any business uiac
in the world has, next to his wife, is
the local newspaper, and if lie dosn't
get full value for this friendship it iE
liis fault, not the editor's. The editor
of the average so-called country paper
has done ruore to upbuild his town
and the retailers in it, than all other
influences combined, and it also fol
lows that as au almost unbroken rule
he is the least appreciated person in
his community."
In conclusion Mr Staogcr said thai
the country newspaper man does not
ask for charity, bur stands r»ady to
repay the u>erchaut 500 per cent, on
every dollar properly spent in adver
tising.
A stable owned by Dr. K. B. Blair,
iu East Waynesburg, Green county,
