A Mr. Vanauken has rented the farm of Mrs. Mary Raasor, near Layton, and will occupy the same on April 1st. The argument urged by a promi nent citizen of this town that the person to be elected freeholder "should be a person who had never held that office befor?, that he might mingle and get acquainted with other prominent men of the county." Well, if that Un't a hot argument for the candidate. Wash. Lantz, our most popular auctioneer, is thinking very strongly of quitting the business on account of the exposure attending vendues. Of all the reports of the trial printed in our oounty press, that reported in the Wantage Recorder is the clearest, most brief, and yet tells the whole story. A party from this town remarked that it wa nice to be freeholder sayicg that they could meet and as there was too much business to got through with that day, adjourn to hear the trial and take next day for business and I wondered if they got pay for two days, one day for business and one day to hear a murder trial. Better try the 3 commissioners plan. The continued cold is making ice, and should there come a sudden thaw those living along the Fit hrook and Delaware should prepare for tho approaching danger.

Lot CUCKIIiGIIAirS DYE HOW MAFS MAKE WAR NEWS FLATW To enable its renders to follow intelligently the momentous events of the Japanese-Russian war. The North American, Philadelphia's newspaper, has g.mo to extreme pains and nnliniod expense in pre- poring a colored map of the territory involved in tho struggle. Owing to the general hick that prevails of exact knowledge of the tonography of the lands bordering npon the war centre, the situation of the towns, harbors, ports and countries which are mentioned daily in the cable dispatches in the North American, it is impracticable for the average person to gain a comprehen sive notion'of what is progressing in the Far East. Those who would gladly spend time in supplementing tho tidings that are read by them in the news papers by researches in atlas or gnzoteer are often prevented from doing this by lack of facilities. It is to place within the reach of such a means of watching the movements of the Russian and the Japanese fleets and troops Step by step as they immerse themselves in tho struggle that has only just begun that The North American has prepared ths map To show its utility it is necessary only to think how few thoreare that realize the immense expanse of land and water that go to make np the geographical details of the war. How many know that Russia, planning for decades a war of con quest which has for its object the gobbling of Manchuria and terri torial aggressions in other parts of China, has expended nearly 400, 000,000 in building the Trans- Siberian Railway from St. Peters burg to the shores of the Japan and the Yellow Seas? How many know that this road, 6000 miles in length, is depended npon by tho Czar to enable him to throw any part that may be neces. sary of his 5 000,000 soldiers into Manchuria and China to crush by force of numbers any nation that might resist him? How many realize that in order for the Czar to bring his Baltio fleet into the Yellow Sea it will be neces sary for the vessels to sail 15,000 miles, skirting Europe, Asia and Africa? How many can tell off-hand the relative positions of Korea, Japan, Manchuria, China, Port Arthur, Chefqo, Chemulpo or Seoul? All these points may be settled instantly by reference to The North American's map. This map will be given freo with each copy of next Sunday's North American. It is absolutely the latest map out. It is printed in four colors, and the spelling of the names is verified by comparison with the most reoent government reports. No more valuable gift, either from a standpoint of education or utility, has ever been presented by a news paper to its readers. Advance orders for next Sunday's paper already insure that the de mand will be immense. To render it certain that you are provided with a copy, your newsman should have your order at once. The Louisiana Purchase Expoitio Will open April 30th and close Dec. 1st, seven months, which Is a month longer than the period of the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago In 1803, owing to the fact that the weather at St. Louis during October and November being pecu liarly pleasant, it being tho Indian Summer of the Middle States.
