The town is to be congratulated on having secured a foot bridge over the Lackawaxen. Its thanks are due the gentlemen whose favorable re port to the court made possible such a greatly needed convenience. It Is to he hoped the estimates may soon be in and the contract awarded, so that there may be no delay in securing the benefits to be derived from the use of this Improvement to the hundreds who will have occasion to cross over It every day. : :U: PROGRESSION. -As we pointed out Jn a recent issue of The Citizen, Mayor Kuhbach's selection of a committee to take charge of the matter of erecting a monu ment to the Stourbridge Lion and Horatio Allen left nothing to be desired. The meeting held Friday evening, when various committees to take charge of the many details of the plan were appointed, Is sufficient evidence that the project will be brought to a successful conclusion and one which will bring honor to Honesdale for originating the plan of the commeratlve monument. It is our belief that a large majority of the public prints will give every possible aid to this worthy cause even if the late editor of the Herald did not honor the plan with his unqualified approval. With $100 already pledged voluntarily the committee in charge may count unreservedly on sufficient support In the future to render the plan an entire success. :0: ONE WOMAN Mrs. Olive Schreiner who gained "The Story of an American Farm," is now after new laurels. It appears to the lady author's firm opinion, or better, conviction that "one baby is enough for any woman." She says she Is the apostle of a new movement for women. Perhaps she Is. We do not know. Neither do we know whether Mrs. Schreiner has had her one child trine as she preaches Is dangerous. If her scheme was put into effect the universe would be depopulated In very few generations. As it is a couple having four children just keep the human race stationery. It has been found that on an average only two placing their parents and continuing the population of the race. With one child only there would soon be race suicide. Mrs. 'Schreiner may be an apostle but she Is also entirely wrong. As some one says, "next to a family with no children, the saddest is where there is only one." :0: OILING THE STREETS. The application of oil upon Main owners an average of ?3 each. It required fifteen barrels and cost nearly $C0. The apparent complete success ought to be followed by other progressive merchants until the whole length of the street will have been treated There was little .criticism at first after the second day the oil did not The oil makes a sol'er roadbed Instead of the hard, sunbaked road down the dust. If sufficient care was used to keep the oil off the cross walks during the process of oiling the streets, the only criticism thus far would seem to have been dispelled. This is the first time that oil has been used on our streets ana a lair test should be Two of Everything for the l Democratic Party PROBABLY TWO STATE COM MITTEES, STATE CHAIRMEN AND NATIONAL COM MITTHKMEN. Harrlsburg, Pa., July 11. The lines of battle for control of the Democratic organization in this State are being more sharply drawn every day and the prospect of two committees, two State chairmen and two national committeemen is loom ing up brighter every day. The "re organized" faction, which was handled without gloves by the "reor ganlzers" has determined to fight after all and will carry the contest Into tho courts. A week ago it was the thought to allow the new crowd to run the show a while, but since Saturday a change has come over affairs and a light to the finish is now expected. .Meanwhile efforts are being made to fill this city with Democrats on July 19 and the chances are that there will bo two State committee meetings, each one attended by more thnn a majority. No Sincerity About It. The Philadelphia Inquirer says, In speaking of affairs in tho Demo cratic party: "Neither faction will admit that there Is any sincerity in the leader ship of the other, and each side is charging the other with duplicity and with reckless disregard for law or precedent In tho conduct' of pre liminary campaigning for control of the national convention delegation. "Charles P. Donnelly, as spokes mas for the Guffey element, has come out squaroly and unqualifiedly for Governor Wilson for tho nomina tion for the Presidency, and it is pro posed to make a clean cut contest for delegates who shall be Instructed by popular vote to support tho Now Jersey candidate. "Judge James Gay Gordon Is a close personal friend of Govornor Wilson, and It Is Indicated that Gov ernor Wilson would prefer to have his canvass for delegates in the State of Pennsylvania under the su pervision of Judge Gordon than any one else.

Gordon passing upon the various candidates for delegate Governor Wilson will bo assured of a square deal. "The charge is made that some of tho Pennsylvania Congressmen who are identified with the 'reorganizers' are secretely working In the interest of Speaker Champ Clark for the presidency and that while they are at the same time saying nice things of Governor Wilson their hearts and activities will be with Speaker Clark when it comes time to elect dele gates to tho presidential convention. "It is noted when Congressman Palmer links the name of Speaker Clark with that of Governor Wilson in his reference to presidential pos sibilities which has led the Guffey men to remark that he is playing one candidate against the other; but he is really in favor of Clark, who in his capacity as Speaker has recently given Palmer very desirable commit tee appointments. "No matter what may bo the out come of the meetings at Harrlsburg on July 19, it is pointed out that there will bo no opportunity to have a judicial decision as to which fac tion is really the dominating, force in Pennsylvania before next year. "When it comes to certifying Dem ocratic nominees for the Stato ticket either faction can take the other into court and claim that Its rights have been usurped. Tho whole question of the regularity of the elections of Stato chairman can then be Judicially reviewed in the Dauphin County court. Until that time each wing of the party can claim to be regular, and there will be no Judicial decision for the side to point to in refuta tion." ROUNDS PAYNE. Floyd D. Rounds, formerly of Unlondale, Pa., and Miss Lola B. Payne, formerly of Orson, Pa., were married at East Windsor, N. Y Wed nesday, June 28, 1911, by Rev. Jas. E. Payne, uncle of tho brldo. Tho bride was attired in bluo silk and wore a white plctu'ro hat and carried roses. Tho groom is a woll-known photographer of Forest City, and tho bride a popular young lady of East Ararat, Pa. After a trip through New York stato they will return by way of the O. & W. R. R and will reside in Forest City, Pa. T BRIDGE L Recommendation of Com missioners Accepted by Cour WILL BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO PUBLIC; BIDS TO BE ASKED FOR. The county commissioners, at their regular monthly meeting held Tuesday morning in the court house approved the application for a foot bridge across the Lackawaxen river at the Intersection of Court street and Park street. The petition, on recommendation of the Greater Honesdale Board of Trade, was drawn- up, circulated and pesented to the court by Attorney C. P. Searle, chairman of the Street and Highway committee of the Board of Trade. The court appointed E. W. Gam mell, John Odgen and Isaac B. San dercock as viewers. They reported favorable and the petition was after wards confirmed nisi and later ab solutely by the court. Tuesday morning the commission ers were waited upon by a committee representing the town council, com posed of President Martin Caufleld, Treasurer G. W. Penwarden and S. T. Ham; also by epresentatives of the board of trade, managers and superintendents of industries near the proposed site of the bridge, and property owners in the vicinity. There was not a single remon strance filed objecting to the build ing of the bridge which made a fav orable Impression upon the commis sioners. The dire need of a foot bridge at this point can be readily seen by the commissioners, as it will not only accommodate shop employ es, but school children, church goers. armory visitors and the public at large. The commissioners authorized their clerk G. P. Ross to write for estimates for the construction of a concrete footbldge across the Lacka waxen at the designated place and that bidders furnish their own plans and specifications. A CORRECTION. The Citizen desires to make a correction In the story which ap peared In the last issue, under the heading "Promised to One, Weds Another" to the end that it may be made plain that Mr. Fortanm of Tyler Hill did not "chase" the au tomobile bearing Miss Wllsey of Ty ley Hill and Mr. Rutledge, West Da mascus, although the rest of the story is substantially correct. The facts according to later information are these: "On Monday, June 20, Miss ViI sey went to Bloomsburg and Mr. Fortnam neither saw nor heard.-of her again. She was to return on Thursday or Friday. She would send word if she came Thursday, and if no word was received it was un derstood she would come Friday and Mr. Fortmau was to meet her at the train. "The Saturday previous Miss Wll sey wrote Mr. Rutledge to meet her in Scranton on Wednesday. They did not meet until Thursday. Both then came to Honesdale arriving too late to get a license. "They then went to West Damas cus and returned to Honesdale Fri day, got their license, went to Al- denville and were married. '"Mr. Fortnam came to Hones dale to meet the train as agreed and failing to meet Miss Wilsey return ed home, not even knowing that Miss Wilsey and .Mrs. Rutledge were in Honesdale at tho time. "The first Mr. Fortnam knew of the marriage was on his return home. "Mr. Fortnam comes of one of the first families of Tyler Hill, and is an honorable and highly respected young man. "By publishing this correction you will rectify a wrong statement, seri ous even though unintentional." This The Citizen is glnd to do. DEATH OF ADAM SCHILLING.

Forest City never had a chance against the County Seaters Satur day afternoon at the silk mill , grounds, as Benjamin Hessling, showed nine Innings of his 1U10 brand of pitching while the Miners ' gave Carpenter such atrocious sup port, the Maple Cityites won by the i score or s to i. "Benny" only struck out five men. but held Forest City to four scattered hits, which was a much better record than that to t'he credit of Carpenter, who allowed ten hits, although striking out four men. The Forest City hurler also had a lapse -of control In the first inning, when a combination of two passes and three hits coupled -with two errors on the part of his team, mates gave Honesdale six runs. On the other hand, Hessling passed none, but hit two batters. Leon Ross' little boys fielded bril liantly back of Hessling, Sherry and Kupfer making the feature plays. Honesdale made a killing in the first inning, when eleven men faced Carpenter. Mangan, first man up. got to first on third's fumble. Bra der walked. Ross slashed one to centre, scoring 'Mangan, who had stolen second in the meantime. San dercock's double, to centre scored Brader and Ross. Sherry coaxed a pass out of Carpenter. Kupfer reached first on a sacrifice filling the bases. Schilling was out on an easy grounder to third. Dudley fanned. With two down Hessling scratched a hit to Kutannla, scoring Sherry Mangan got to first on short's fum ble, scoring Kupfer. Brader ground ed to Wolfert. Forest City sent twelve men to bat In the first four Innings, none of whom got the semblance of a hit, or even reached first base. In the fifth Wodischek beat out a grounder to Kupfer, a close decision at first but was an easy out trying to steal second. Honesdale scored another run In the fifth. Sherry doubled to left. Kupfer got to first on a muffed fly to left. Schilling got to first on player's choice, Sherry being retir ed at third.. Dudley fanned. Hess ling boat out a hit to short, Kupfer scoring.

Forest City scored their first and only run in the seventh. Cavan-i augh beat out a grounder to third, and stole second. Kelly doubled to left, scoring Cavanaugh. Wolfert was hit 'by Hessling. While Wodi schek was at the bat, Wolfert and Kelly executed a beautiful double steal, but their efforts were in vain, Stratford grounding to first. This ended the run getting. In the eighth with one down, Kutannla and Cavanaugh executed a double play on Schilling's grounder to short, retiring Sandercock and Kup fer and ending Honesdale's chances of scoring. FOREST CITY. R.

One of these rooms was occupied by Elizabeth Decker who is about 15 years of age.

Station Agent George Carpen ter hearing the call for help ran to the scene but did not get there In time to see the rascal who ran to ward the railroad track.
