Tom Clark's skill as a farmer Is running neck and neck with his reputation as a manufacturer of cut glass. He has a record of 168 bushels of oats out of 11 bushels sowed. This equals a mile in 2.02. Tho following United States jurors were drawn from this county to serve at Scranton, the week of Oct. 13, 1909: Grand Jury O. E. Bunnell, Honesdale; E. D. Penwar den, Carley Brook; S. H.

The fire gong sounded at a few minutes after 12 o'clock on Monday and the Are apparatus was gotten ready for the job at once, but there was no job for them to do. There was fBome smoke at Gibb's garage, but only smoke. Later report says that Albert Kimble's house on the hill caught fire and was burned to the gro"und. Every time Brother Haines gives us a report from his weather prophet, "Hicks," it acts tho same as a "red flag to a bull" on the religious editor of the Herald and he throws Ills Verh.il (IfirtK Intn ronnrt W'n 1 think Brother Haines does this to irritate the bull, as he hasn't any more faith in dope of this kind than tho rest of humanity. Milton W. Lowry is the unani mous choice for president of tho Pennsylvania League of Republican clubs. It is an honor worthily be stowed as Mr. Lowry has long been an ardent worker in the Republican clubs and very active in promoting their interests. This is the second time that this league has been head ed by a resident of Scranton. We have a pedestrian club com posed of a lot of husky young fel lows who hoof the roads of Wayne county weekly and get more recrea tion thereby than they would sitting in the club room or on their front porch. Sunday afternoon they reel ed off about 17 miles and were richer in health and strength for so doing. Searle, Richards, Butler, Heft and Frailey did this stunt last week. Dame Rumor was on a rampage last week and had a number of our prominent citizens married. As the parties were all eligible, our reporter spent some time trying to get at the facts but concluded that the sugges tive influence of the highly illumi nated posters of "Maloney's Wed ding Day," which adorned the bill boards around town, was the cause of the rumor, and consequently .Manager Dittrich refused to allow the troupe to play at the Lyric on the evening advertised. The Deputy State Highway Commissioner places the blame of giving Dyberry township the pre ference in state roads over Texas township, on the County Commis sioners, and a letter to this effect was written to C. A. McCarty, Esq., attorney for Texas township. As Texas township had made their ap plication a year ahead of Dyberry it looks as if the commissioners have been badly advised as they have al ways shown disposition to give every one a square deal. A bulletin was Issued by the Erie management recently, calling attention to the care with which that road has handled its passenger traf fic In the last Ave years. ' In that period over 125,000,000 passengers were carried 3,750,000,000 passen ger miles without a single fatality. Trains carrying these passengers ran 50,000,000 train miles in order to accomplish the feat. It is very doubtful If this record in regard to safe carriage of passengers on rail roads has been surpassed anywhere In this country. J. C. BIrdsell, of Honesdale, one of the proprietors of the Seelyville Wollen mills, was In town for a short time on Monday calling on old friends. Tho judge has been one of the leading business men of Wayne county for a generation and It Is safe to say that there are none better known in the county. He and his brother have taken the wool that has grown on the sheep that have fed on Wayno county's thousand hills since tho time of our grand fathers and has made tho product into blankets that are renouned for their excellence. Don't Infer from this that Mr. BIrdsell Is an old man. Not by any means. He looks as straight, energetic and virile to-day as he did a score of years ago, Mr. BIrdsell was on bis way to Albany. Forest' City News. The "Woman Pays" is one of the best plays ever presented at the Lyre. Levi Patterson's "Town Direct ly" was first under the wire on Wed nesday at the Oneonta Fair, and captured the $400 stakes. The bomb which was found near the platform where Presidents Taft and Diaz were to meet was a harm less thing. A marriage license has been granted to Tracey E. Webster, of Sherman, and Louise C. Duske, of Rowlands. The Honesdale football team went to Port Jervls on Saturday and defeated the team of that place by a score of 11 to 0. The canard about being fined for issuing checks less than $1.00 has been exploded. It was a mis interpretation of a law passed during the Civil War. A good place to spend this (Tuesday) evening is at the conven tion of Christian Endeavor societies at the Presbyterian chapel. Good singing, excellent addresses and no collection. Mrs. Mary Brown has sold her property on South Church street to William Keltz, foreman of McKenna Bros cut glass factory. Mr. Keltz will take possession about October 1st.

Waltz, of Newfound land. After the opening exercises the regular routine of business was transacted after which there was an excellent address by the Rev.

Chubb, one of the city's most estimable women, died at her home, No. 12 Oak avenue, Carbondale, at 4:15 o'clock last Fri day afternoon, following a long Ill ness. Mrs. Chubb was born in Canaan, Wayne county, fifty-four years ago. Her maiden name was Emily Mar garet Wagner. She had resided in Carbondale for 11 years, during which time she won the warm re gard of all with whom she came In contact. Mrs. Chubb was a devout member of the First Methodist Epis copal church and was ever attentive to her relglous duties. She is survived by her husband; four sons, Boyd of Oneonta; Adel bert, Charles and Frank; two daugh ters, Mrs. Rose Shaffer and Mrs. Maud Stephens; two sisters, Mrs. Ida Shaffer and Mrs. Elizabeth Benjamin and two brothers, Willam and Wheel er Wagner. Born February 10th, 1S99, .1. Foster Ward, eldest son of Mr. and .Mrs. W. J. Ward; entered into rest, Sept. 24, 1909. Between these two dates was lived a life that, though brief, made its impression,- not only where those who knew him well,, but those who incidentally met him. Bright, intelligent, manly, with a love for everything that appeals to the boy nature, trustworthy beyond his years, active, strong, even ath letic, his sudden going away shocked all who knew him. For a week he was not well. On Friday morning last it was found necessary to re move him to Dr. Burns' Hospital in Scranton, where he was operated upon for appendicitis. He rallied from the operation, but his heart was too weak to stand the strain, and at 8:30 p. m. he gently fell asleep. Earthly hopes that center ed about the life of this brave boy are shattered, but the hopes that center in the immortal life will sometime be gloriously realized. The profound sympathy of the en tire community goes out to the home out of which so much of light has gone. The funeral services were held .Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Dr. Swiftt and all that was mortal of Foster laid away in the beautiful Glen Dyberry cemetery. "There is no death, the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore, And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown, They shine forevermore." TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION AT LAKE COMO.

ECK, Secretary. "Brewster's Millions." One of the most Interesting at tractions of the season will be "Brewster's Millions," which will be seen here at tho Lyric on Monday evening, Oct. 4th. The play is a dramatic version of Wlnchell Smith and Byron Ongley by George Barr McCutcheon's famouB and success ful novel. Frederic Thompson's orglnal company, headed by Robert Ober In the stellar character, and the splendid organization that ap peared during tho long runs of the play In New York and Chicago, will be seen here. The production of "Brewster's Millions" ranks among the foremost stage effects of recent years. Frederic Thompson Is pro prietor and manager and In his lat est efforts In stage effects he has outdone his marvelous work In the staging of the wonderful spectacles In the New York Hippodrome. There are thirty speaking parts in the play which not only require capable act ors, but also tremendous scenic, me chanical and electrical outfit which has been furnished In the proverbial Thompsonian manner. Some of the effects are remarkable notably that in the third act depicting a storm at sea, which is so perfect an illusion that the audience is swayed as if it were actually on ship board. This illusion is produced by a com bination of mechanical and electri cal effects all of which owe their origin to the genius of Frederic Thompson and on which he holds ten distinct patents. The engage ment of "Brewster's Millions" here should duplicate the enormous suc cess that has attended its phenomen al runs in the large cities of the country.
