At the South school, which we perpetually attended, Mr. Chas. WARREN, of Bozeman, Montana, recited "The Classical Parson" and delivered an address, in which he urged the advantages of graded schools for the township. Miss Cora BATTIN, the teacher of the school, deserves great credit for the conscientious interest which she has taken in the welfare of her scholars. In fact, all our teachers this term have acquitted themselves with ability.

A leap year party at Geo. COLLINS' last Wednesday evening was a grand affair. Some twenty-eight or more courageous young ladies escorted as many nervous and timid young men to the residence of Mr. COLLINS and there entertained them with a sumptuous repast. They likewise devised many recreations to amuse and draw out their bashful proteges, whose characteristic modesty would otherwise have a tendency to make them retire within themselves and thus "spend their sweetness on the desert air." So all went merry as a marriage bell and the gay festivities were kept up to as late an hour as the fair entertainers judged it prudent without the risk of awakening unpleasant apprehensions in the breasts of the respective maternal relatives of the aforesaid proteges. After which they escorted home their charges, carefully shielding them from the many dangers which beset nocturnal pedestrianism and safely delivered them to their maternal relatives.

The community was most painfully shocked by the totally unexpected death of Miss Ivy GLIDEWELL which took place on Saturday evening after an illness of barely two days duration. Very few persons, even her nearest neighbors and intimate friends, were aware of her sickness (which was la grippe terminating in pneumonia and hemorrhage of the lung) until startled by the tiding of the death. Miss GLIDEWELL was a daughter of this place, and was a most amiable and accomplished young lady, idolized by her parents, esteemed and beloved by a large circle of friends, for her Christian character, her sunny and genial disposition and her many lovable traits. The heart-broken parents under this crushing and unexpected blow have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.

The schools are all closed for the long vacation, indeed it is entirely too long. Most of our schools have been reasonably successful, but the attendance will not average much above eighty per cent.

Quarterly meeting was held at the Elkland church last Sunday.

Death has again entered our community and taken another of our aged men. Vincent WOODHEAD died suddenly on Saturday evening, March 21, 1896. He had been in his usual health to within a few minutes before he died. The cause of his death was no doubt heart disease, and, though he had suffered for some years with deafness and rheumatism, he was never confined to his room. The funeral will take place on Wednesday at Bethel where he will be laid to rest by the side of his wife who died August 14, 1881. Vincent WOODHEAD was born in England October 16, 1823, hence was seventy-two years old. He came to Elkland with his father, Joseph WOODHEAD, when a child. He was married in 1854 to Esther Ellen MOLYNEUX. To this union seven children were born, six sons and one daughter; all survive except one son who died in infancy. Mr. WOODHEAD was one of the stalwart young men who started in the woods and cleared a large farm. He was always a hard worker and provided well for his family. In religion he was a consistent member of the Wesleyan church.

Hon. Russel KARNS felt quite elated last week after he had been informed of the decision of the Superior Court, in which they say that laborers must be paid under the KARNS Bill. He had been told by some of the lawyers and laymen of this county that "the act was no good". Some of the lawyers said "it is not worth the paper it is written on." In the case of John HOFFA vs. PERSUN, tried in Wyoming county before Judge SEARL, the labor claims were allowed under the act of May 7, 1891, known as the "KARNS BILL". An appeal was taken and argued on both sides by able attorneys. The opinion of the Superior Court was handed last week by His Honor Judge BEAVER, sustaining the decision of the lower court. This act will serve two good purposes: it will give the working man his pay and wipe out the indebtedness of the jobber to his employees.

Overseer of Poor, Daniel MORGAN, reports a curiosity in the shape of a horse with a genuine mustache several inches in length. Dan says the only trouble with the horse is that he stops too long to admire himself in the water when he drinks. He also says that the horse keeps his mustache nicely curled by rubbing it over is (the horse's ) legs, and that when it is fixed to his satisfaction he will swagger around in a style clearly suggestive of the plains, for it is a western horse. Dan has not yet expressed his intention of traveling with the horse, but we ought to all have a chance to see it at the fair next fall.

Irene LETTS of Shunk had an experience last week that gave her quite an insight in the devious ways of humanity. She went to Canton to work for a well known family of that place, but failed to agree with the mistress of the house and decided to return home, but when she came to leave, the parties refused to give her her valise, containing her clothes and a small sum of money. She demanded her goods several times but to no effect and had to travel the 12 miles to Shunk bareheaded, which is not very pleasant in our present spring weather. Her father, A.F. LETTS, went after the girl's things and had even then to send the man to a lawyer to convince him that he had no right to hold the goods. Such people should be taught a lesson, and the proper instruction could have been given best by a justice.

The political club of Shunk has had to adjourn sine die. Most of the members had been expelled for going to work, which is against the rules of the order, and it will be hard to get a consistent membership again until after harvest.

Almanacs are in great demand at present. There are a great many people who will plant their seeds and sow their crops only in the light or the dark of the moon and they don't want to be mistaken. Brother FISHER even claims that it affects a rail fence if it isn't built in the right sign of the moon, and others claim that if you get a tooth pulled in the wrong sign, the hole it leaves in the jaw will ache forever. We don't know how true this may be but we are not taking any risks in having a tooth pulled.

GONE TO REST:

She was one of the most popular and lovable women, always pleasant, agreeable and obliging, ever ready to assist with kind words and loving deeds, and it gives a universal feeling of sadness, that one in the prime of life should be taken from our midst.

The brothers are John and Roland of Dushore, Ralph and Freeman of New Albany and Leonard of Eureka, Mich., and Howard of Chicago.

Miss Lottie HEVERLY, Mr. Fred MOYER.

The entire community was deeply grieved Thursday afternoon to learn of the death of Leonard LILLEY, aged 8 years and 4 months. Only son of Mr. and Mrs. C.T. LILLEY, of Carpenter street. Poor little Leonard had been a helpless invalid from babyhood, but although his little pain wracked body had not kept pace with time, his brain was active beyond his years and in the intervals when comparatively free from pain, his carriage was pushed through our streets, all learned to know and love the patient little body, whose cheerful smile and keen repartee made his presence a pleasure. Denied by his afflictions the sports of ordinary childhood he made himself a fine musician, and was far in advance of children of his age in the common school studies, being a diligent reader, a good penman and ready mathematician. His greatest source of comfort was his regular attendance at church and Sunday school and when subscriptions were opened a month or so ago to buy a bell for the Lutheran church he claimed the privilege of subscribing with the others, and having himself pushed in his carriage from house to house while he sold his photographs, thus realizing $25 for the purpose. But he was destined never to hear its mellow notes summon him to the service he loved so well, but was summoned instead to the home where, as he said, there would be no pain. While the bell was being hoisted to its place last Thursday afternoon, the slender chord that bound his spirit to its earthly tenement yielded and he fell asleep to wake on this earth no more. The bell tolled the first time for his funeral on Sunday, when the church was packed to its utmost capacity, and amid tributes of flowers and tears the last sad rites were done, and the little sufferer consigned to his first painless bed. Never was one so young mourned so universally, and the entire community joins in its expression of sympathy to the parents and sisters.

Fire at Bernice - The COLLINS Hotel, at Bernice, was destroyed by fire Tuesday morning about 1 a.m. Only a very small part of the contents of the building were saved.

Mr.E.J. MULLEN of Laporte, and Miss Mary DONOVAN of Arnot, Tioga county were married Wednesday June 10. We have, in common with the rest of the public, had our suspicions for some time, but as the prospective groom stubbornly resisted all efforts at cross examination we have been unable to secure any exclusive news for our readers. The bride is well known to many of our readers, as she has many Sullivan county relatives and has often visited here. In marrying the district attorney of Sullivan county, she has secured a talented husband, who is steadily rising in his chosen profession. The Review offers the usual congratulations and hereby levies a campaign assessment of ten cent cigars for the entire office force to be burned in honor of the popular young couple.

Dr. D.S. PRATT died at his home in Towanda Wednesday afternoon at half past four o'clock, after a long illness. Until a few months ago he continued to practice his profession, when tabes dorsalis, or degeneration of the spinal cord, a malady from which he had suffered a long time, developed, result of a lifetime of hard work and untiring study, necessitating his retirement. Since that time he gradually failed but his wonderful vitality and courage sustained him until the end came peacefully. David Shepard PRATT, M.D. was born in Susquehanna county, December 16, 1826. He graduated from the Homeopathic Medical College at Philadelphia in 1851, immediately locating in Towanda, where he has enjoyed an extensive and lucrative practice. In 1849 he was married to Catherine ABELL of Warren township, who with four children - Mrs. W.G. GORDON, Dr. D. LEONARD PRATT, Mrs. Simon RENDALL and Dr. C.M. PRATT, all of Towanda - survive him. Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at four o'clock at the house: interment at Oak Hill cemetery.

The special session of court, to begin at Laporte June 22, was a failure owing to the alarming illness of Judge PECK, who was to preside. It was found impossible to secure another judge, and the associates dismissed the jury with two days pay, transferred the license of M.L. BROWN at Lopez, to Henery MCKIBBINS, and granted a divorce or two. Then they adjourned. Accomplished - nothing, loss to the county about $250.

A buyer of old rags and similar goods, accompanied by his wife, made quite a stir on our streets last Thursday evening. The man was drunk, and in a playful mood knocked his wife down and kicked her. He was the size of a small elephant, but not too big to find the inside of the boro lockup in a very short space of time, and it was probably good for him that he was taken there as soon as possible, for a number were in favor of a little lynch law for the brute. His wife, womanlike, begged for him, but he sobered up in the depths of the bastille, and Friday morning pled guilty before Burgess COLE to drunkenness and disorderly conduct, promised to sin no more, paid $2.00 and the costs, and the affectionate couple went on their way rejoicing. He gave his name as Gustave OELSCHLAGER, and Hughesville is said to be his home. The next time he plays a similar caper here he is liable to imagine something has mashed him as a boy would make a fly, if he is big and a giant in strength. Brutes who strike their wives should be publicly horse whipped.

An epidemic resembling malaria is afflicting the people of this section at present. A too largely developed newspaper instinct led the Chiel to sample it, which he now regrets and can testify that it is about as disagreeable a thing to be laid up with as one could select.

Quinine, while retaining the full proportion of the "old rye."

The body of George M. BAHL was discovered in the big dam below Forksville, about noon Monday, July 13, by Charles CHILSON, who lives on the shore of the dam. It was floating on the water, a large bass wood log resting across the thighs. Whether the log had been at the bottom and body and log had risen together, or whether the position of the body in reference to the log was purely accidental, will never be known. It is regarded as certain that the body has been in the dam from within 24 hours of the time of the accident on the sixth day of last February. News of the discovery was at once conveyed to the relatives of the unfortunate young man and the body was brought to Dushore and interred at St. Basil's Tuesday morning. It is a remarkable coincidence that the body was found in almost exactly the same spot where was found the body of John POWERS, drowned in the same manner in April, 1895. Both young men lost their lives while floating logs, the accidents occurred not more than a mile apart, and the rushing waters bore both bodies many miles to the big dam. Both times the creek was searched by professional divers, whose labor was in vain.

The accident was caused by the locomotive striking a cow.

The Towanda Local Item of a recent date gives a very interesting biographical sketch of M.C. MERCUR, of Elkland, this county. He was at one time extensively engaged in business in Towanda, but is spending the evening of life on his farm on the breezy Elkland heights. The Local Item suggests to the Republicans of Sullivan county that he would make an excellent candidate for legislative honor.

Someone who claims to be a commercial traveler writes to the Hughesville Mail to say that that town is afflicted with the worst lot of gossipers he ever saw. He says no woman's character is safe in their hands and thinks they ought to be ashamed of themselves. Well, well, who'd a thought it? And Hughesville is such a pretty place and has such a large number of innocent looking young ladies. Tar and feather a few of the gossipers and see if they don't keep quieter.

The dreaded army worm has made its appearance at this place and is destroying the oats and corn. Farmers are compelled to cut their oats green in order to save something of them; likewise the new potato bug has appeared and is far more destructive than the Colorado beetle. It is of a grayish color and about half an inch in length and farmers find it very difficult to kill them as they fly as soon as touched and Paris green (copper arsenate) has no effect on them. Farmers are very much discouraged when such pests appear and destroy their crops for which they have been laboring so hard.

The Canton Sentinel says the despised English sparrow has come to the rescue of many of the farmers in this immediate vicinity, whose fields have been attacked by the destructive army worm, and has been doing good in destroying the pests. The sparrows hover about the fields in great numbers and devour hundreds of the worms. In some cases they become so gorged they can hardly fly.

The Towanda Local Item is publishing a series of articles concerning local celebrities, past and present, of Towanda and vicinity. Last week the biographical sketch of Elijah A. PARSONS appeared, and a very grateful tribute was paid to the veteran printer and publisher.

"Dead Hungary man he no dobra." This is the remark always made by the Hungarians in the lumber woods and along the railroad when one of their number is killed, and it is said nothing can induce them to touch a dead comrade. The bodies are left to the charity of the "white folks" for a burial more or less decent, and the frugal subjects of Francis Joseph entirely escape the funeral expenses. When John Sidelah was crushed to death at Ricketts Monday, it was ascertained that he had relatives in Hazleton and an effort was made to get a fellow Hun to go after them. "John no dobra, owe me five dolla ready,:" replied the unfeeling Hun, as he turned to his work. Handsome fellows, these, out of which to manufacture American citizens. "No dobra," we may as well explain, means "no good."

Gus GAMBLE’s show struck this town last Tuesday, proving what we have often noticed before that the devil’s imps are always on hand to run opposition when the Lord’s people are trying to do some especial good work, the old fellow got left as badly this time as he did last winter when he sent the Hattie JOHNSON troupe here during the revival. They did not sell enough tickets to pay them to open the show at all so had to refund the money and pull up stakes and "git" early the next morning. We hope the time is not far distant when our town authorities all over the land will soon awake from the indifferences as to the influence on the young people, especially the small boy, by such questionable entertainments and not let one of them enter any town. The license these ungodly people pay for the privilege of making fools of themselves and others is often nothing in comparison to the amount of money they take away with them, besides sowing deadly seed enough in the hearts of the young to cost their parents and other friends years of heartache, prayer and hard labor to pluck out.

Francis JOHNSON is getting very vain, for he spends several days each week gazing into the Mirror.

HARVEY and BUNNELL are two worthy young men and commanded the love and admiration of every one they came in contact with, for upon their foreheads is very visibly stamped the seal of Him who says to all, "come unto me." The church was well filled every night and on Saturday and Sunday evenings was filled to overflowing with almost perfect order throughout, everyone seeming anxious to hear every word uttered either in song or exhortation and between 20 and 30 accepted Christ as their Saviour over which there is great rejoicing. The band left Monday morning for South Towanda where they expect to hold meetings for the next ten days.

The Tunkhannock New Age, in speaking of the recent stabbing affray at that place, says: "Whiskey did it," and goes on to intimate that all parties concerned were more or less intoxicated. Without knowing a thing about it, we would be willing to bet that the allegation is true. It is very seldom you hear of two perfectly sober men having a difficulty, unless there is a "woman in the case," and then, whiskey is generally at the bottom of the whole of it.

There will be a church fair and picnic held September 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th at the ground near the United Evangelical Church, which is now being built at Lopez. We solicit the patronage of all the good people to help us by donating, in the line of household goods, useful and ornamental articles, and from the far, orchard and garden, which will be gratefully received.

Democratic Candidate for County Commissioner

Charles HAAS was born in Hillsgrove Township, this county, and has been a life long resident of that place. Gaining an education from the common schools of the county he afterward engaged in lumbering and farming which latter pursuit he is at present following. He enjoys a reputation among all who know him as a man of honesty, integrity and ability. In his candidacy for the office of county commissioner, he will gain the hearty support of his friends and of many others who have been favorably impressed during the personal canvass which he has made of the county. If elected to the office he seeks, we have every reason to believe from his past and reputation that he will make an official in which the people may repose every confidence. He is in every way fitted for the office, and would fulfill its duties with judgment and fidelity.

Democratic Candidate for County Commissioner

Wellington GRAIFLY was born in Cherry Township, this county. After a course in the common schools of the county and a youth passed in work on the farm he took up the trade of carpenter, which he followed several years and was counted as an expert and careful workman. Returning again to farm work he is at present engaged along with his brother in the care and development of one of the finest farms in Eastern Sullivan. Personally, Mr. GRAIFLY is agreeable in his intercourse with others and well-liked by all who know him. He has an enviable reputation for honesty and fair dealing, and it is safe to suppose that if elected to the office he seeks that these same qualities which characterize him in private life will serve to guide and determine his course in handling the affairs of the public.

Democratic Candidate for Associate Judge

Patrick HANNON was born in Ireland and came to this country in 1869, and to this county in 1870. From 1870 to ’72 he worked for the tannery company at Laporte. In May, 1872, he came to Bernice, and from that date has had charge of the yard for the coal mining company at this place. That this is a responsible position can be inferred from the fact that, for a number of years, Mr. HANNON had to estimate the value of the coal unaided by scales, etc., and that to his great credit it can be said that he was never known to make a mistake in his estimates. Mr. HANNON has held various Township offices, school director, treasurer of school board two terms, and is now treasurer of Cherry Township with the exceptional record of closing up his accounts with the several hundred dollars indebted to him instead of vice versa, which is often the case. Mr. HANNON’s record both in business and public life points him out as a man eminently fitted to be entrusted with the position he seeks, and if nominated he will hold the support of men who admire and demand fidelity and earnestness in the administration of public trusts.

Democratic Candidate for Associate Judge

Lyman B. SPEAKER was born in Sullivan (then a part of Lycoming) County in 1844 and has always remained a resident of this county. He attended the common schools of the county and afterward engaged in farming., which pursuit he has always followed. Mr. SPEAKER is one of the representative men of the West End and will hold its united support if nominated for the office he seeks.

He has served as county auditor, has held all the Township offices in Hillsgrove Township except that of overseer of the poor, was town clerk for twenty years, a school director on every board since he was 18 years of age, and is now serving as treasurer of the Sullivan County Agricultural Society, of which he was a charter member. Mr. SPEAKER is well fitted for the office of associate judge and would uphold that position with dignity and fairness to all. He is a man who does not hold extreme views on subjects of public policy and could be counted on to deal justly by all.

Republican Candidate for Associate Judge

John S. LINE was born in Luzerne County in 1831 and came to Bernice, Sullivan County in 1877, in which place he has since remained. Until August 1878 he was gauger for the United States government in the distillery at Bernice, and from that date has worked for the State Line and Sullivan Coal Company. This spring he was elected justice of peace at Bernice, which office he is filling acceptably to all concerned.

In his candidacy for associate judge, Mr. LINE possesses every qualification that would entitle him to that position and the hearty support of the citizens of this county. He is a man of honesty, integrity and good judgment, and if elected we predict that he will make one of the most satisfactory incumbents of that position the county has ever had.

Independent Candidate for Associate Judge

Frank A. TOUSCHNER was born in Alsace in 1833 and came to this county before he was four years old. In 1847 he came to Sullivan County and has remained here ever since, with the exception of one year spent in Indiana. He has always followed the pursuit of farming, has been a taxpayer in this county ever since he was of age; while never a politician, he always worked for the best interests of the people at the polls. He now enters the field as an independent candidate for the associate judge in the belief that the best interests of the people will be subserved in electing a man to that office who is bound by no party ties or promises and is free to act in all cases as his judgment dictates to be the best for the people he serves. Mr. TOUSCHNER does not seek this office and will not make a canvass of the county to solicit votes. He is running on a purely independent and impersonal platform, subject to the will of the people.

Democratic Candidate for Associate Judge

Conrad KRAUS was born in Tamaqua, Schuykill County, and came to this county fifteen years ago, settling in Cherry Township where he has since remained. Twenty-nine years ago and while still a boy, he often came to this county with his father to buy cattle. This was one of their favorite purchasing grounds and the amount of money left by them with the farmers of this county can be estimated from the fact thatm since being in business for himself, Mr. Kraus has purchased of the farmers of this county over $100,000 worth of cattle. He is one of the representative business men of Cherry Township, has never asked for office before, and while always a consistent Democrat has been willing to work for his party without reward. He is in every way qualified for the office of associate judge, and if elected will prove an honest, efficient and careful official, just in his actions to all, with bias or favor to none.

Democratic Candidate for Associate Judge

Maynard PHILLIPS, a son of Griffith PHILLIPS, was born in Davidson Township, then a part of Lycoming County. Maynard was compelled to quit school at the age of 12 and assist in clearing up his father’s farm, but by earnest application in spare moments he ultimately secured a good education. By hard labor and economy, Maynard PHILLIPS has worked his way upward until at the present time he is one of the representative farmers and business men of the county. For a number of years he has been engaged in selling school supplies, and is at present completing a term as Associate Judge. His service on the bench has been all that could be desired and the voters of Sullivan County will only be rewarding faithful and earnest service in their behalf if they elect him again to that office.

Democratic Candidate for County Treasurer

Ransom THRASHER was born in Luzerne County in 1838 and came to Sullivan County in 1847 where he has since resided. He has always followed the pursuit of farming and is one of the most successful agriculturists in Eastern Sullivan. He has held a number of Township offices and has before been a candidate for the office of county treasurer. Mr. THRASHER enjoys the confidence of all who know him as a man of honesty, ability and integrity, and it is everywhere conceded that he is in every way fitted to fill the important office of county treasurer with credit to himself and with benefit to the people he would represent.

Republican Candidate for County Commissioner

Joseph SICK was born July 26, 1834, in Cherry Township, this county. He attended the common schools of the county and at the early age of 19 enlisted in the Union army, serving throughout the war, and returned with an honorable record as a soldier.

Mr. SICK has always lived in Cherry Township, where he has followed the occupation of a miller, except for twelve years, when he was engaged in lumbering. He has held a number of Township offices, which he has filled with credit and acceptably to all. Although springing from a family Democratic in politics he has always been a staunch Republican, and now seeks the nomination for county commissioner from his party on the basis of his long service to its principles, and his well known convictions in favor of careful and economical administration of the county’s affairs. If elected he will make a just and efficient officer, working for the best interests of the people he represents.

NOTE- On account of several candidates being in the field, from Cherry Township, in the interest of harmony, Mr. SICK withdraws his candidacy.

Republican Candidate for County Commissioner

The subject of this sketch was born in Germany on Jan. 3, 1843. He attended the schools and received the thorough education of that county until 23 years of age, when he emigrated to this country and settled on a tract of land in Elkland Township, this county.

The place was little more than a wilderness at the time, but Mr. BAUMUNK was well adapted for the hardy life of a pioneer and, from a rough clearing cut out in the forest, he has worked on until today he has one of the finest and best tilled farms in Western Sullivan. Besides being a practical farmer and successful businessman, Mr. BAUMUNK has shown himself well adapted for public life and has filled acceptably several terms as school director, road commissioner, etc. As a candidate for the office of county commissioner he represents the choice of the Republicans of the West End, and if elected will make an honest, capable officer, working for an economical administration, to the best interests of the people. Mr. BAUMUNK has always been an active politician and an enthusiastic worker for the interests of his party. Personally he is an agreeable man, pleasant and courteous in his intercourse with all.

Democratic Candidate for Representative

Thomas W. GAHAN was born in Lycoming County in 1844. Mr. GAHAN may correctly be called a self made man and deserves all the credit that is due for his success in life. He has engaged successively in lumbering, following this avocation for 10 years along the West Branch; in mining, in which business he was engaged for a like period at Barclay, and in farming in which pursuit he is now engaged. Mr. GAHAN has held a number of Township offices in Cherry Township, treasurer, overseer of poor, etc., and has always proven an honest, capable officer. He has always been a consistent Democrat laboring for the best interests of his party.

Mr. GAHAN’s career in business and public life has well fitted him for the office which he is now seeking and it is the general belief that if he is elected he will represent his constituents with honor, dignity and honesty of purpose. As a life long resident of Sullivan County, he is justly entitled to its hearty support.

Democratic Candidate for County Commissioner

D.M. TAYLOR was born in Davidson Township, this county, on Oct. 1, 1846. He has always remained in this county, and by his efforts aided towards its progress and prosperity. He has always followed the pursuit of farming with the exception of running for some years a line of hacks from Muncy Valley to Eaglesmere upon the opening up of that picturesque resort. Mr. TAYLOR has held a number of Township offices: inspector, school director, for thirteen years, etc., and has always proved a capable and efficient officer.

In his candidacy for the office of county commissioner, Mr. TAYLOR, if he gets the nomination, is sure of the support of all who desire an honest and efficient administration of the county’s affairs.

Democratic Candidate for County Commissioner

James P. WALSH was born in March, 1855, in Cherry Township. He received a common school education and has since been engaged in farming, mining and other business pursuits in this county. He owns a fine farm in Cherry Township, but owing to poor health is not able to work it himself. For the past seven years he has lived at Laporte, and has served that Township as school director and postmaster for five years.

He is a man who enjoys the confidence of all who know him and is well fitted in every way to fill the office he seeks. If elected he will make an honest, capable official, and one who will work for a careful and economical administration of the people’s affairs.

Democratic Candidate for Congress

Alphonsus WALSH was born in Pottsville, Schuykill County in 1856 and removed to this county with his parents at the age of two years. He attended the common schools of the county until he had completed the various courses, when he began to teach school. In turn, following that profession for fourteen years. He studied law under Thomson & Collins, and was admitted to the Sullivan County Bar, September 23, 1884. In 1886 Mr. WALSH was elected to the office of prothonotary, holding that office for three successive terms, making one of the most popular and satisfactory officers this county has ever had.

In his candidacy for Congressman from the Seventeenth District, Mr. WALSH combines every qualification that would entitle him to that high office and the unanimous support of the voters of this district. His public life has shown him to be a man trustworthy and earnest in the discharge of his duties, while his widespread popularity with the people from this county springs from the fact that he has always shown them to have their interests at heart and it is safe to infer that as their representative in the halls of Congress he could be counted on to work for the best interests of his constituents in any way affecting their progress and prosperity.

Democratic Candidate for Representative

C.F. HUNSINGER was born in Colley Township in 1848 and has always been a resident of this county. As a youth,

he helped clear up a homestead, afterward following farming as a pursuit until 1889, when he took charge of the Colley House, where he is at present located. Every dollar that he has made has been invested in this county.

Always taking a great interest in the welfare of the farmer, Mr. HUNSINGER early joined the Patrons of Husbandry, the Patrons of Industry, and allied organizations. (WHOLE STORY UNAVAILABLE)

Mr. Conrad MULLER of Bayonne City, N.J., is in town for his annual vacation. He has spent two or three weeks of every summer here for the past twelve years, and is an enthusiastic admirer of our beautiful little mountain town, its pure and bracing air, and the picturesque surroundings. He is the best known of all the city people who visit us in the summer and everyone is ready to welcome him and listen to his pleasant and intelligent conversation. Last March he was afflicted with sciatic rheumatism and for the first time in 30 years took to his bed for a few days. Upon starting for his place of business in New York again, he was somewhat startled to read a report of his sudden death in the morning paper, and if his good qualities had not been described so accurately his Teutonic good nature might have given way. As it was, he passed it off with a laugh and hastened to assure his friends that he was still in the land of the living. Few men live to read their own obituaries, and we hope that our friend MULLER will long survive the publication of his, and that he will never fail to visit the mountains when the city gets uncomfortably warm.

Last Thursday being Yom Kippur, the places of business of our Jewish citizens were religiously closed. Messrs. LEVERTON and GOLDSTEIN, of Morris LEVERTON & Co., had taken the Wednesday evening train for Towanda, and thieves took advantage of their absence to enter the store and steal a quantity of clothing, shoes, hats, etc. Shortly after nine o'clock Thursday morning, Geo. W. JACKSON discovered by looking through the glass, that the interior of the store was sadly disarranged, the money drawer on the floor, the tables uncovered and the show window disarranged. Officer MIDDENDORF was sought and an investigation disclosed that the robbers had effected an entrance by removing a window in the coal cellar, going up the cellar stairs, cutting through the panel of the door at the top and drawing the bolt by reaching through. A telegram was set to Mr. LEVERTON and both members of the firm came home on the noon train. An examination disclosed that the thieves had taken 12 suits of clothe, 7 pairs of shoes, 5 woolen shirt, 12 hats, a box of neckties, a number of pairs of socks and small change left in the money drawer. About a cart load of goods were piled in the cellar way, where the thieves had evidently sorted them over. Their judgment was excellent, for they had taken the very best. There was no clue whatever to the guilty parties.

This whole County was intensely excited Saturday and Sunday over the hunt for a lost child on the mountains between the two branches of the Loyalsock. Mr. and Mrs. Will KERNAN live about two miles and a half from Ringdale. On top of the mountain, where Mr. KERNAN is clearing up a farm. the woods come close to the house, and as most of our readers know are of vast extent. About 11 o'clock Friday it was discovered that little Alma, two years and eight months old, had wandered away, and a careful search of the premises failed to find her. An alarm was immediately given and the few scattered neighbors started to hunt. Night came and no baby girl was found. The parents were nearly crazed with grief, and in response to their frantic appeals a wider alarm was given and the people for miles around engaged in the search all day Saturday. The woods for a circle of five or six miles were gone over, but to no purpose, and Saturday night's darkness almost extinguished the fires of hope in the hearts of the anxious parents. Sunday morning between five and six hundred men were on the ground. Dushore, Cherry Mills, Ringdale, Laporte and Sonestown were all well represented, as well as nearly the entire population of the farming country around. Provisions were brought and meals arranged for the now hungry and exhausted searchers and an organized and carefully conducted search was inaugurated in place of the unorganized but earnest parties of Saturday. One party of 150 men started from the house, and maintaining even distances marched to the Big Loyalsock, wheeled on their right flank and back to top of mountain. If the child was found three rifle shots in quick succession was to announce the fact. Another relay was to be ready to start on the return of the first party and bread, meat and coffee awaited the hungry hunters on their return. The band had reached the creek, wheeled and was marching back when far off to the north was heard three rifle shots, immediately repeated by those nearer, and in a few moments the woods resounded with the rapidly repeated crack of rifles and cheers of the men, as organized and unorganized parties started on a run for the place whence the first shots were heard. The child was found, and clasped in her mothers arms was pleading for food and drink, which was given sparingly for the little wanderer had been lost 52 hours and was nearly famished. Mark SMITH, almost worn out with continual hunting, had entered a house occupied by a family named MCMILLAN, about a mile and a half from KERNAN's, and was preparing to take a little rest when glancing out of the window he saw the child coming toward the house from the woods, a few rods away. Fatigue was forgotten and he seized the child and ran with all speed to its home. Bareheaded and barefooted, it was in a pitiful condition and of course unable to tell anything of its wanderings, but was in the track of the returning column and must have been found within a few hours anyhow. The latest reports are to the effect that the little one is recovering rapidly from its long fast. The loss and search will be long remembered.

E.R. WARBURTON of Campbellsville, is a man who never forgets the poor, hungry editor. Last Saturday at the fair he invited us to take a look at his prize apples - Kings, Baldwins and Spitzenbergs - and after we had duly admired them he told us they were ours to have and to hold. They have been added to our winter's supply of eatibles and when we sit by the fireplace next winter and meditatively masticate a spicy Spitzenberg, our thoughts will turn to one of the pleasantest men in Sullivan County, who remembers the poor and needy.

Among the damaged buildings we failed to mention last week is J.H. YONKIN's warehouse, just below his residence. That was utterly wrecked by the storm of September 30. It is said that twenty barns were unroofed between Dushore and the river. There were probably 10 or 15 more in Cherry Township that were unroofed. It is almost impossible to schedule the damage for practically every farm was injured. Fruit trees were blown down, fences, corn, buckwheat and small buildings flattened and miscellaneous damage done that will foot up into the thousands of dollars for the County. Timber land was a heavy sufferer, and much of next season’s cut is already flat and the bark will be nearly if not quite a total loss. The storm extended from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of St Lawrence and our exchanges are full of the havoc wrought by the storm king. It was remarkable from the length of time that the wind lasted. It was almost a two hours steady blow, and everything that was at all shaky succumbed to the storm.

We republish, by request, the following from the Punxsutawney Spirit of September 23; "It is with much pain that we express our bereavement over the loss of our friend, J.P. MURRAY, who died last Monday with diphtheria, after an illness of about ten days. Deceased was about thirty years of age, was born and educated in Bradford County, Pa., and until recently has always lived there and in Sullivan County. In his early manhood he taught school. Seven years ago he entered the employ of Clark Brothers, Lopez, Sullivan County, as clerk in their general store. After about three years in this capacity, he was given full charge of their store at that place, which position he held when he removed to this county, and took sole charge as buyer and manager of Clark, Kizer & Kipp's general mercantile business at that place. Mr. MURRAY, by his honorable course and bearing, won the esteem and confidence of all those with whom he associated. He had been married just eleven months, and leaves a young wife, nee Miss Ida B. SHOCK, his parents, and a number of brothers and sisters to mourn his loss." (see added column for October 15)

Children of veterans of the late war are entitled to peculiar school privileges in Pennsylvania under the operation of a law passed at the last session of the legislature. It is not generally known that children of old soldiers are entitled to free instruction in any school district without the necessity of having a residence in the district in which the tuition is obtained. For example, the child of an old soldier living in Forks might demand and obtain admission to the school in Dushore without changing his residence. Dushore might, however, demand a fee from the Forks district for the tuition of such pupils, the fee to be determined by the cost per pupil to the town. If the provisions of this act were generally known, it is probable that not a few would take advantage of the opportunity to get better school privileges than their own districts now afford them.

An unprecedented wind and rain storm visited this section early Wednesday morning and continued nearly two hours. The wind blew a perfect gale, playing havoc with buildings, orchards, fences, corn and other grain still in the fields. We believe that at least one half of the fences in the township were blown down. The barn of F.A. BOYLE was almost completely ruined. His buckwheat, which had been thrashed, but was laying on the barn floor, was over half lost. Allen LITTLE's barn was unroofed. Mrs. George MEYER's timber was nearly all blown down. George C. BIRDSALL, Chauncy B. WHEATLEY and Cyrus ROSBACK each had fine sugar camps blown down. Samuel BEDFORD, Albert KAY, Charles KILMER, John MULLAN, Henry E. FAWCETT, J.F. MULLAN, Frank BAHL and David MCCARTY each had barns or stables partially or wholly unroofed. S.S. ROGERS had a fine piece of hemlock timber blown down. David MOLYNEAUX in Forks township had two barns partially unroofed and much timber blown down; loss probably $1000. E.S. RINEBOLD lost about five hundred dollars by timber being blown down and his planing mill racked. We have been unable to get a full report of the loss, but are happy to say that no loss of life or injury to any person occurred. Many families retreated to their cellars and other places for safety.
