The prices of vegetables in the
cities have gone skyward during the
past few days. The drought has
caused the crops to be poor, and peo
ple are compelled to pay big prices
for inferior products. And the
weather bureau gives no encourage
ment. The most ridiculous, rib-tickling
Joke that has struck the world for
some time, Is the news that Roose
velt's exploring and game devastating
party, in the African jungle, is in
dancer of "starvation" and that
"food supplies were being rushed to
them."
Among other flim-flams being
worked hard to get Harry Thaw,
the murderer, free, is the evidence
of a Poughkeepsie cough-drop man
ufacturer, and "philanthropist,"
that "Thaw is well versed In the
Bible." That conclusively proves
that he isn't crazy any more.
Up in Canada the red-skins are
adopting the methods of our southern
tobacco growers, In the settlement
of business differences. J. W.
Christie, a grain-buyer, his wife, and
daughter, were this week killed by
Indians, who didn't like the prices
he offered them for their wheat crop.
This is a sad, bad world.
Harry Thaw and his lawyers claim
that he Is "all right again" mentally
and it is earnestly desired that he be
"turned loose" upon the world again.
He will be. If you ever wish to com
mit murder and escape with your
life, don't do it until you have ac
quired the proper amount of cash.
In an address before the Yosemlte
Valley Chautauqua, Tuesday evening
last, at Yosemlte, Cal., Bishop Wm.
M. Bell said that if President Taft
doesn't do things that "we want
him to do, it way be necessary for
us to recall to the White House our
dearly beloved Theodore." Billyum
H. Taft should sit up and take notice
that "us" are President-makers.
The people of Bolivia evidently de
sire to have a "shindy" with the Ar
gentine Republic, that is if appear
ances are to be relied upon. They in
sist upon stoning the domicile of the
Argentine Minister, at La Pez, and
have also roughly handled other citi
zens of his country. Argentine has
demanded a full apology from Bolivia
and it it isn't at once forthcoming
there will be trouble. There's blood
on the moon.
Evelyn Thaw is.ngaln in the public
eye, as a witness. She is subpoenaed
by the State, which Is trying to keep
her Harry In the insane asylum,
where he properly belongs. Her
evidence, however, has not hurt but,
If anything has created a favorable
impression in his behalf. She Is de
scribed as being "just as pretty,
peart and childish" as at her former
appearance in the Thaw trial. Her
"smiles, tears, and childish ways" in
terest the audience aB much as ever
and the attendance at court is, as
it always is, when Evelyn is to ap
pear, very large.
Those Cincinnati people who are
attempting to furnish that city with
a "more daylight day" shouldn't
get in too much of a hurry. That
a concerted change of time might
more convenient than that now
in use, seemo possible but, suppose
Cincinnati or any other city, sets
its clocks an hour ahead from the
first of May to the first of October
of each year, and the rest of the
country doesn't? Wouldn't that
be a fine arrangement for railroad
time-tables and like matters? Walt
until the rest of the people "get
on" before you start.
It is announced that William
Bryan, who is chronically affected
with Presidential aspirations, is
about to spend three yearB in Europe.
Don't stay longer, William. What
would we do without you, next
Presidential campaign?
The Philadelphia Inquirer cruelly
Jabs its sister city, New York, this
wise: "The New York authorities
have refused to naturalize the edu
cated chimpanzee now in that city.
They are getting mighty particular
all of a sudden."
July wheat Jumped seven cents a
bushel, at the Chicago Board of
Trade, Wednesday, establishing a
new high record for the 1909 crop.
A rain fall In Missouri and Kansas,
which damaged the ready-for-har-vesting
crops, was responsible for
the Hurry.
Under "Science Notes" the Scran
ton Tribune Informs the world that
a well-known "Celestial diplomat"
has discovered that people would
"live forever" if they abstained en
tirely from the use of salt. Allow
us, please, to take that prescription
"with a grain of salt."
Philadelphia is certainly a dry
town, now. So parched has It be
come that huge rocks in the Schuyl
kill and Delaware river beds, which
have never before exposed themselves
to public gaze, are visible. But then,
the city water is seldom used as a
beverage.
Many people have been interested
ly waiting to see what Dr. Osier
would do when he reached the age
of 60 and they are disappointed in
deed to find that he doesn't take his
own prescription, and slip out by
the chloroform route. Osier, you
are a vain delusion and a snare.
The Wrights have made another
"most finished flight of the year."
At Washington Monday their flying
machine, ascended and encircled the
parade ground "six and one-half
times," staying up five minutes and
thirty-eight seconds. Wouldn't be
surprised if the thing would yet fly.
Harrisburg has some progressive
young (?) women. A club has been
formed, the members of which
solemnly promise to wed no man
who will not bind himself to vote for
woman's suffrage, H'm. The
photographs of said members would
be interesting to newspaper readers,
The proposed corporation tax of
one per cent, on net earnings in ex
cess of 55,000 is raising quite a
breeze, the claim being made in
some quarters that it will not affect
the millionaire corporations. John
D. Rockefeller will, nevertheless
have to dig down for $1,000,000 an
nually if the thing goes. It should
go.
The annual encampment of the
National Guard of this State has,
in latter years, changed its com
plexion somewhat. It is no
longer a pleasure outing, but a
school of instruction in the game
of war, which demands the close
attention of all the guardsmen dur
ing the estire session. Honesdale's
Co. E will doubtless return with
much added knowledge as to the
best way to kill people when so in
structed by the Government.
The dispatches tell us that the
Chinese consul In New York has
stated to his government that Elsie
Siegel was not murdered by Leon
Ling. That she took poison with
suicidal Intent. The information
is also given that with the consent
of the Chinese government, the
Chinese "masons" have ordered that
Leon Ling be protected by Chinese
people all over the world. Why, of
course, Elsie Selgel committed sui
cide. No doubt about that, and then
she locked herself in the trunk
where found, and told his innocence,
Leon Ling, to hide, for fear people
would think he killed her. If the
U. S. authorities ever get their hands
on that yellow brute, they will And
out about it, without the help of the
Chinese government, its consul, or
its "masons.'
A large portion of the uncivilized
world seems to have suddenly de

Prince Suloyman, brother of the
Sultan of Turkey, died Tuesday,
very suddenly. Heart failure was
the cause of his taking off.
Capitol Graft Verdict Sustained.
The Superior Court in four volu
minous opinions by Justice Porter
Wednesday sustained the conviction
In the Dauphin county court of John
H. Sanderson, James M. Shumaker,
William P. Snyder and William L.
Mathues, jointly charged with con
spiracy to cheat and defraud the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
with having defrauded the Common

was state treasurer, at the time of
the commission of the offense, the

dictments as March 28, 1906.
Although both Sanderson and
Mathues have died since the cases

sioners of public grounds and build
ings, prepared the plans, designs,
detailed drawings and specifications

electric and gas fixtures for the new
capitol building. He moved for a
'severance in the court below, which
was granted and he has yet to be
tried.

Locomotive Drops into a Mine Hole
Two Men Killed.
At two o'clock Tuesday morning
last, a locomotive on the Wllkes
Barre and Eastern Road, plunged
into a mine-cave hole near Boston
Settlement. Win. Barry, firemen,
and Wm. Brown, brakeman, were
killed. The engineer escaped and
as soon as he could get out of the
cab went to the rescue of his' fellow
trainmen. He found Barry had
been instantly killed, but that his
brakeman was still alive and shout
ing for help.
Seeing that he would be powerless
In an effort to release Brown who
was caught under the engine, he ran
to the Boston Settlement and arous
ed several of the people In the vicin
ity. A call was also sent to the
round house at Yatesville, and all
the available assistance was given
in hopes of rescuing the injured
brakeman.
It was nearly 6 o'clock before they
succeeded in getting Brown free
from the engine, and an examination
showed that one of his legs had
been chopped off as though done
with an ax. When taken from un
der the engine he was practically
dead. He was hurried to the Pitts
ton hospital where ho died a few
minutes after being admitted.

Our Query Department.
Maria: If you want to straighten
your hair, as you fear it looks
something like a "darkey's," our
advice would be to use a lawn
mower. Shave your head every
morning before breakfast and get
a wig made of ostrich plumes. You
will look a trifle fantastic, but if
you are "on the carpet" you cer
tainly don't want to look like a nig
ger. If in doubt use perfume.
Young Husband: You say every
few days your wife pouts and threat
ens to go to her mother. You want
us to advise you what to do. Well,
if we had a wife young or old who
pouted and threatened to go back to
her mother we would let her go.
There is no way to keep her If she
feels that way about It. If married
life isn't what she painted It, let
her go. After she has been with her
mother awhile she will want to come j
back, and then you write her a short
note and tell her to go to well, say
her father's people. Keep away
from her. A pouting wife is like a
dog that sucks eggs. Good for noth
ing. The little woman who sees

THE DEADLY ANTHKAX.
Several Herds of Cattle in Orange
County AU'ectcd.
During the past few days, the
farmers at Gardnervllle, Orange

SCOOPED THE CASH DRAWEIt.
Tho Proprietor Thereof is Out Only
Seventeen Dollars.
Thursday, July 8, the clerk at
Hartung's meat market stepped out
side, on an errand, for a moment or
two, leaving in the place a young
man of the town. When he returned
the visitor was absent, so nlso were
seventeen dollars, coin of the realm,
which were in proper place, in the
drawer, a few moments before. Upon
looking for the young man aforesaid,
his whereabouts were not discover

noticed hereabouts. A Bleuth is,
however, on his trail.

The Era of New Mixed Paints !
This year openi with a deluge of new mixed paints. A con

of a mixed paint that would supplant CHILTON'S MIXED
