His contribution of luscious fruit was received with thanks, and devoured with pleasure. Mr. Robinson, by the way, writes some mighty line poems, as the readers of this paper are well aware. He is as successful in raising pears as he is in writing poetry, and that's saying a good deal in these days of tho San Jose scale. Vots for Male and Rockwell for Commissioners. Albert Painter, a Wayna county farmer, made a flying leap through the plate glass front of E. A. Blox ham's office, Forest City, last Sat urday afternoon. Painter had gone to the lumber yard for a load of shingles.

Painter saw them going, and in his excitement leaped nimbly over a rad iator and on through the glass front. With the blood spurting from the wounds in his head he never halted until ho came up with the team which had been stopped In front of Zaller's liquor store. None of the wounds were serious. Forest City News. Those who were figuring on the Wayne county Republicans Jumping their candidate for congress and vot ing the Keystone-Democratic com bination are destined to be disap pointed, Judging from tho reports coming in from old Wayne.' While that county very much desired the nomination of Homer Greene, tho voters do not intend to sulk, or do anything that would injure the party and the chances of a Wayne county man In the future. The fact is, that tne Democratic-Keystone comblna tion gave Wayne very little consider ation and cannot hope to have the people of our neighbor across the mountain "pull the chestnuts from the firo" for the benefit of the coterie in 'Bradford county which seems to have a monopoly of reform candi dates. In W. D. B. Alney the dis trict has a candidate of the nrogres sive pattern, and one who wijl be ame to qo something for the dls trlct, If elected. He is peculiarly well fitted to represent this district with unusual ability. Before any real constructive Republican legisla tion can be put through, the lower urancn or congress must be redeem ed to the Republicans and the Wil-mit-Grow district will, without any question, enter the first -wedge In that direction. Dr. Rockwell may be a good man, we doubt not he Is, but it elected no would bo compelled to act with tho Democratic wing in the house, and not in accord with the policies believed in by a majority of the voters of this district. Forest City News, j Vote for W. B. Lesher for Register and Recorder. Born, a son, to Cashier and Mrs. Joseph A. Fisch, Monday.

Among tho visitors In Scranton yestei'dny was J. E. Richmond to at tend the ninetieth birthday reception of his cousin, Wm. H. Richmond, the famous coal operator, the Sage of Richmond Hill. Mr. Richmond was a former Honesdaler in 1845, and removed to Carbondale in 1850, and went into the mercantile business there, when Scranton was known as Slooum Hollow. Our townsman, J. E. Richmond, was his partner until he removed to Scranton in 1865. George Myers, the popular pro prietor of the Seelyville Hotel, was injured by an explosion on Monday day morning. Myers and' a helper. Walter Sonn, were cleaning the acetylene gas making machine. Mr,, Myers released the carbonator and took it from the shed near the hotel' to tho side street, Just outside. He could not see clearly what was the matter with that part of the ma chine so he struck a match and held the ignited match to the gas tank. Immediately there occurred an ex plosion that shook the small village, of Seelyville and the report was heard In Honesdale, the accident happening about 11 o'clock. Houses, trembled, window panes were brok en and the badly frightened people, ran out, of their homes to see what was the matter. Mr. Myers was thrown to the ground by the explos ion. He received a compound frac ture at thd right arm and his body was more or less bruised by the ex plosion. Mr. Sonn was thrown about ten feet from where he was standing. His arms wero badly scratched. The force of the explo sion made a large hole in the earth'.' Dr. Ely was called and treated Mr, Myers' injuries. 1 The following complimentary notice appeared in Wednesday's Har risburg Telegraph: Father Penn has the rest of the heads of the various States in the Union beaten some miles in the matter of revenue rais ing. The Pennsylvania treasury balance is known all over the coun try and the fact that this State could build a $13,000,000 Capitol and .carry on all its great projects and yet nave money in the bank is one of the wonders .in governmental circles. The State's system has been turned around, placed on its head, held to the light, X-rayed, probed, plumbed and pried into by experts from every state in the Union and by the financial sharps of some of tho Canadian provinces, 'all anxious to see how to" do It without any Stato tax on land. When Pennsylvania men get up to speak at tax confer ences they are accorded the entire floor all want to hear all about it. Now It happens that among the tax experts up on the Hill is one N. E, Hause. Mr. Hauso comes from Wayne county and is chief clerk of the Auditor General and thinks tax ation problems everyway but out loud, He is one of the leading ad justers of different propositions and so well Is ho thought of in the Con gresses of the experts on taxation that he has been Invited to read a paper at the national tax conference next year. This is the real blue rib bon organization because it Is made up of the big Stato officials of the States and the United States and its deliberations bring forth many mat ters which affect millions of people. Mr. Hause will discuss Pennsylvania taxation. PERSONAL Sigmond Katz spent Sunday in Scranton. C. P. Searle spent Saturday in Scranton. Irving B. Brown passed Sunday in Hawley.
