It is surprising and astonishing how tho laws of this commonwealth are openly violated at county fail's and on tho stroots of some boroughs in this suction of the state by men who pay a stipulated prico for the privilege of "fleecing" the peoplo with a gambling device of some kind. Lawyer A. J. Truitt, of Punxsutawney, In a two column article in the Punxsu tawney Xars last weok, quotes from the laws of Pennsylvania, and decision of tho Supreme Court of this State, on what constitutes gambling schemes Lawyor Truitt says: "Gambling Is playing any game of chance for stakes. Betting is tho lay ing of a wager on any event. Public gambling, because of its debauching in' fluences, Is a criineat common law and punishable as a nuisance. Gambling In all its forms is criminal under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania. The gambler, the person permitting it or owning or leasing the premises in which it Is carried on as well as the person who solicits othora to go to gambling places, are serverally crlmlnaland liable to punisnment under our laws. "Our lawmakers have gone to great pains to protect the Innocent from the seductive influences of the goddess of chance. And many of our criminal statues impose a penalty of a fine or imprisonment. Therofore all violators certainly tako desperate chances. It will also be seen that our laws cover every conceivable gambling device "heretofore or which may be horoafter invented." Wheels-of fortune, paddle wheels, slot machines and all other wheels, boards, boxes, or other gaming instruments whore cards dice or numbers are used and for' which money or merchandise or any othor thing oi value is played all make the Owner, operator, tenant or solicitor liable to the laws' penalties. Not long since a judge In one of our neighboring counties went on the grounds of an as sociation where gambling machines were in use and with his axe chopped them to pieces. Many of tho most suc cessful fairs in our state will not permit them on their grounds. Tho Indiana fair is a good example near homo. When gambling is permitted not only do good citizens sometimes get led as tray but often women and children are soen crowded around the wheel unable to resist tho temptation to beat the ignor ant and innocent gambler out of bis money. Wherefore it behooves all good people to abstain from this evil and not to encourage it by tholr pres ence or example. And further it would seem to be tho duty of all good citizen whonever and wherever he sees public gambling to immediately find an officer and have him arrest the violator and confiscate the gambling device. And lastly no good citizon can afford to vio late or break any of the laws of our commonwealth even if there is money in it." Bids Wanted. Bids will be received up until October 1, 1005, by Ira S. Smith, chairman building committee of the Roynoldsville school district, to furnish good quality run mine of coal for the year. Coal to be delivered at school building. W. H. Bell, Secretary. PALvLv GARMENT DISPLAY Wooltex Judge Elkin For Govo,i nor. The return of Justice John P. Elkln from his trip abroad has given now im petus to bis gubernatorial boom. lie said In a recent interview With anows- paper reporter that he was "entirely sat isfied with his present placeand was not a candidate for any office." We have no doubt that Justice Elklns fels comfort able enough on tbe suprome uonen, and that he Is satisfied to remain there. But the people want him for Governor, and they will nominate and elect him because they will never fool satisfied un til they do. There are a Jiumber of things that the peoplo of this State want, among which are a primary elec tion law, (by which everybody Irora jury commissioner to United State! Senator will be nominated by tho popiiar vote,) legislative apportionment auilpersonal registration In the largo cillos, and they want to begin by putting the right man In the Executive Chair of Ibe Com monwealth. That Justice Elkjin would seo that "the wishes of the people were properly respected," and tljat "tho management of the party was conducted along such linos as would merit the ap proval and deserve tho support of the best-thinking people," nobody doubts. That is why the peoplo will begin elect- ng Elkln delegates early next spring and keop right at it until there will not be enough territory left to start a come tery for the interment of the "favorlto son anu otner Doomtots tuui may spring up In tho monntimo. Because Judge Elkin is not asking for the place is no reason why he should not bo made Governor. Indoed Is lsono of the strongest reasons why he should bo. The people want to chooso their own matorial lor mat oineo. men- wishes wore manifested three years ago in tho most unmistakable manner, and there has been no diminution of Elkln forvor since that time. On the contrary it will bo found to have been greatly augmented as soon as it Is given an op- portunlty to break Ioobo. It Is easy enough to find good material for the Su preme Bench among the many splendid lawyers in this State, but a wiso, whole some, popular and aggressive Republi can leader, who will "merit tho ap proval and deserve tho support of our best thinking people," is tho product of a generation.

Tho well whs brought in and on the first day it made forty barrels, but got back to twenty barrels. On Monday It again produced forty barrels but experts think It will not be any larger than a twenty barrel well. Another well is expected to reach tbe sand In a day or two. Quite a number of wells are being drilled. There is no doubt that there will be more producing wells In tho now field. Every foot of land within a reasonable distance of the field has been leased and prospectors are reaching out it) all directions. Whether the Hold will be an extensive ono remains to be seen by furthur developments. A large por tion of the leases In advance of the pro ducing wells are being taken up by speculators who hope to muko a profit by soiling the leases to larger companies who will operate. Tho northern por tion of tho county has been protty well drilled over in Beared for gas territory. Quite a number of these wells did not produce gas in paying quantities and they were plugged. Many of thorn, wore filled or pnrtly filled up with oil and it is quite likely that in the vicinity whore thoy are located new operations will be started in tho hope that the drills will strike oil.
