To the Republicans of Wayne Co.: I take this means of announcing myself as a candidate' for the nomi nation of Prothonotary at the pri maries, Sept. 30, 1911. JOHN N. SIIAIU'STKHN. To most of you I am known per sonally. During my seventeen years of service as a clerk in the Hones dale postoffice my efforts have been to perform my duties faithfully and courteously to the patrons of the of fice and the public generally. To the voters with whom I am not personally acquainted I would say that, since a severe injury sustain ed by my father a few years before his accidental death when I was six teen years old I have tried to make an honest living. My birthplace was in Texns township, district No. 4, Wayne county. .My school days were limited to the district school and the Honesdale High school. As a boy of eleven years I spent my summers slate picking on the Dela ware & Hudson dock and attended school during the winter. I also spent several summers working on a farm in Cherry Ridge. After school I entered the office of the Honesdale Iron Works, known now as the Guerney Electric Elevator Co., where I stayed a number of years and later entered the Hones dale postofllce serving two years un der William F. Briggs. I then went to the Carbondale Lumber company as a bookkeeper, remaining with them until the apolntment as post master of iMiss Mary E. Gorety, who later becamo the wife of Hon, C. A. McCarty. In June, 1896, I returned to the Honesdale postoffice where I have been employed ever since. In coming bfore the people and asking their assistance and vote at the com ing primaries, let me say that I am no tool of any boss or bosses. I simply desire In common with every American citizen to better my condi tion. Your support will be appre ciated and it nominated and elected I will devote all my time and atten tion to the duties of the office to which I aspire. Most cordially yours, J. N. Sharpsteen.

New Jersey Patrons of Pennsylvania to Save $2 a Month. Washington, Aug. 1. The Interstate commerce commission has granted re lief to New Jersey commuters living along the Pennsylvania railroad. It ordered that company to reduce its rate from New York to New Bruns wick from $12 to $10 for a monthly ticket and to file proportionate commu tation rates from New York to other New Jersey points. The new commutation rate3 on the Central of New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley are found to be reasonable, and those put into effect by the Erie, Dci- aware, Lackawanna and Western and the West Shore are also declnred on the whole not to be excessive except In a few particular cases. The Erie's commutation rates to points thirty three miles or more distant from New York city are held to be unreasonable, as are nlso tho commutation fares charged by tho Lackawnnna and the West Shore to points toward the lim its of the suburban zones. The commission, , however, enters no orders in regard to these latter rates, but suggests that the defendants will at once revise their schedules so ns to bring them Inside reasonable limit. The commission finds that the new fifty trip tickets of the Erie, Lack awnnnn and West Shore are higher than they should be, and in this caso also the commission instructs the rail roads promptly to take these fares un der advisement and to suggest reduc tions in keeping with the commission's findings. The commission's decision in regard to the commutation rates on the New York Central and the New York, New Haven and Hartford is deferred pend ing an investigation which is now be ing conducted into tho subject by the New York state public service commis sion.

Stock of Thirty-three Subsidiary Com panies to Be Given Holders of Standard of New Jersey Certifi cates To Continue Business. New York, Aug. 1. Stockholders in the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey will receive today from the sec retary of the corporation a letter which indicates the plan by which the company will conform Itself to thv decree of the supreme court. They nre Informed that by Dec. 1 next they will have certificates of stock in thirty three corporations which at the time of the decision were owned by tho Standard Oil company. This does not wean, so M. F. Elliott, chief counsel for the Standard Oil company, points out, that tho Stand ard Oil Company of New Jersey will go out of business on Dec. 1. It "will continue as a manufacturer of petro leum products, and it will continue to run the biggest oil refineries in the world. Besides the stock which the Standard of New Jersey owns In tho thirty-three corporations, of which it is ordered to rid Itself, it held shares in many other corporations. What will become of this stock Mr. Elliott refuses to say. There appears to be nothing In the supremo court decree or in that of tho lower court, however, which prevents the Standard of New Jersey from maintaining own ership, Mr. Elliott says. The scheme by which the Standard will dissolve connection with the thirty-three companies, which have been regarded as subsidiaries, has been under consideration by the di rectors for many months. It was said at 2G Broadway that to apportion the slock among the stockholders in the major corporation was the only way of meeting tho letter of tho supremo court's decrep. Mr. Elliott ndded that Jhe company proposes not only to meet the letter, of the order, but the spirit nlso. "I nm not prepared to say," remark ed Mr. Elliott, "what is to become of the stocks owned by the Standard Oil company in corporations .other than .those indicated In the decree of the court. But you may believe that the Standard Oil company Is not propos es to go out of business. Indeed, there is nothing in the decree of tl' court which obliges it to do so. Its stock will not have the value that It (ins at present, of course, because the cpmpnny will hnve given up its stocl: ownership In at least thirty-three cor pornrlons, bnt the Standard of New Jersey will be very much alive never theless' Tho accountants will have some in trlcate work to do in figuring out the fractional shares in tho minor corpo ration which the stockholders In the present Standard Oil Company of New Jersey will .have when the dissolution Is completed! Tho basis of figurlnj: must necessarily be on n single share of Standard ''Oil of New Jersey stock. Of the 6,000 shareholders there nre many who own small lots ranging from a single share to ten or a dozen Of the total capitalization of rite Standard Oil Company of New Jersey there Is outstanding $08,333,300. Ac cording to recently published figure more than half of this is held by twelve persons or estates. John D Rockefeller's holdings amount to 247. G02 shares. The estate of Charles Pratt comes next with 02,802 shares. C. W. Harkness has 42,400 shares; Col onel Oliver H. Payne, 40,000; lienry M. Flagler, 80,B00; Henry H. Rogers. 10,200; W. L. Harkness, 13,000; the estate of H. H. Houston, 11,775; Wll Ham Rockefeller, 11,700; L. H. Sever ance, 7,244; V. E. Macy, 7,800, and tho estate of John Huntington, 0,500. This is a total of 601,213 out of n to tal authorized issue of 1.000.000 shares. STAND BY HOUSE BILL. 8enate Minority Supports Farmers' Free List Bill. Washington, Aug. 1. The Democrat, of the senato in caucus decided to stand for the farmers' free list bill as It came from the house without amend ment. In the event of the bill belnt defeated a motion will be made to reconsider It, nnd Senator Kern of .Indiana will introduce an amendment providing .that meat and flour shall be admitted free from any country which in turn admits free from duty wheat. corn, oats, hay, cotton and hogs. The effect of this amendment would be to admit meat and flour free from Canada and thus meet the most seri ous objection made to the Canndlnu reciprocity legislation. POPE IS EEP0ETED .WEAK.

"By bringing tho election on now we expect to bo able to mako reciprocity tho solo Issuo. If tho election were deferred for a year and reciprocity put through the chances nre that it then will bo only ono of tho issues. "Tho Liberal government might be turnod out on some other question, and tho Incoming Conservative government would undoubtedly put through an act repealing reciprocity. "If tho government Is sustnlned in September It means that tho people wnnt reciprocity, that it will be rati fied nnd thnt its opponents will not got another chance nt it for at least four years."

CANDIDATE For PR OTJIOIi OTAIt Y To the Republicans of Wayne County: Pursuant to the requests of my many friends in the county and the general understanding three years ago that I should again offer myself as a candidate for the nomination for Prothonotary at the coming pri maries, September 30, I would state that after a short start by way of an education In the public schools of Wayne county, I completed a course at the A. M. Chlsbro Seminary in Monroe county, New York. My post graduate course was about thirty years In the school of hard knocks as a farmer and lumberman in Wayne county. Have mot many peo ple In the varied relations of a busi ness man and this long experience has enabled me to meet many whom I esteem as my friends and gain at least enough knowledge to appreci ate the needs and requirements of my fellowman. My aim has steadily been to deal honestly, frankly and fairly with all and to dearly cherish all of our country's institutions, and to en courage and assist every true effort to maintain and advance them. I Invite tho fullest investigation of my record and with pleasure refer you to the expression given at the polls by my home district three years ago as indicative of the feelings of those who know me best. Although al ways a resident and largo taxpayer in Wayne county, I never asked for office except on the aforo mentioned occasion when I was defeated by M. J Hanlan who, though opposed to me, never, to my knowledge, said or did anything detrimental to me. I therefore earnestly request your support and promise If nominated and elected to faithfully perform the duties of the office to the very beat of my Judgment and ability and in all things observe the spirit of the Golden Rule.
