Its Dying Efforts

The Louisiana lottery swindlers
are looking to the new States of the
Northwest for charter which shall
give them new lease of life. No
doubt it's owners would be willing
to give many millions of dollars for
the continuance of a privilege by
which they can clear nearly twenty
millions of dollars each year.
1t is time. however, that this mons.
trous swindle be swept out of exis.
tence. 1t should not be allowed to
fasten itself on the Northwest for
even brief term, which it would
spend no end of money to have
heightened. Louisiana has refused
to renew the charter.

Newell of the Dushore Revieao in
his last weeks issue says Sullivan
county does not need a new jail.
BY this assertion of Newell, citizens
who are acquainted with the wants
and necessities of the county, will at
once perceive that the Revieao man
is not thoroughly versed with the
needs of our people. We prove this
assertion by the fact that two or
three grand juries, each composed
of "a good reliable tax payers, have
recommended new Jail. The one
now in use composed of four cells in
the basement of the Court House, is
surely disgrace to the tax payers
of our county. Marks of escaped
convicts recovered, can be seen on
the ceiling, floor and through the
walls. We venture to say that there
has been no less than twenty prison
ers escaped from this frail and
worthless structure. Newell you
had better retract. Dushore will
never be the county seat of Sulli.

The cigarette nuisance is still un'
abated and the evil is becoming so
widespread that legislation is invok-
ed to remedy it. According to an
exchange, in Maryland, prominent
men of the state have taken hold of
the matter, and as result of their
efforts bill is now pending in the
legislature affecting It's sale. The
extent of this evil in every state OF
the Union is far beyond the general
conception Legislation on the evil
does not seem to be the proper
remedy. Pennsylvania has a law
prohibiting its sale to boys under 16
years of age, but it is no uncommon
thing to see boys of tender age
puffinga villainous cigarette. And
the only way to stop the evil is to
crush out the mandatory. The
sooner it is done the sooner the
youth of the land will go into the
battle for an honorable position in
life with some show of winning. AS
long as he blows his brains out in
cigarette smoke the chances are he'll
fail.

''The Clearfield county judge who
told jury last week that when
notices are once served to saloon
keepers not to sell liquor to any
person of known Incorporate habits
no subsequent act or notification
can relieve dealers from liability if
they violate the law. Those who
think that notices of this kind can
be revoked should ponder little on
this fact before they get caught in
the meshes of the law. Some people
need lesson of this kind and we ad-
wise and caution saloon keepers here
to pay no attention to notices osten-
sibly giving them the privilege of
selling liquors to common and
habitual drunkards. These notices
are but an expression of profound
ignorance of the law and the last
resort of the cornered inebriate to
hoodwink the dealers and secure the
whiskey his appetite Graves. The
law of this great commonwealth says
it is crime too sell liquor to drunk
ards and the giving of notice by
an individual overriding the law is
supreme folly" The above infor-
nation should be read by every
landlord of the county and they
should govern their sales of intoxi-
eating drinks accordingly.

r. NJ. Stormont, deputy sheriff,
was called to the extreme southern
part Of Shrewsbury township on of
fetal business, on Saturday last.
The object of his visit was to arrest
a certain individual in that locality
for trespassing and cutting valuable
timber off from tract of land owned
by an individual of LaPorte. The
trespassef was aware of the fact that
officials were on his track and arr
ranged matters accordingly. He
lives alone in very small dwelling
erected for the occasion on the
mountain several miles above Glen
Mawr. The deputy drove to within
several rods of the building where
he tied his horse and proceeded to
the gentleman's residence on foot.
When he got in sight of the structure
he perceived the gentleman standing
in the door way where he remained
until the sheriff came up to within
ten feet of his person, when he
stepped inside and bolted the door.
The officer of the law advanced and at
tempted to push the door in but with
no avail. He then went to window
containing two eight by ten window
pains, which by the way was the
only means of admitting the rays of
sun light, and had confidential
conversation with his would-be- man.
He plead hard for admittance, but no
go. The old fellow sat by the stove
with an old army over coat on as
unconcerned as though he was q
shepherd just returned from looking
after his flock. He positively re-
fused to open the door saying that
he knew why he was there, and that
he did not intend to accompany him
to LaPorte that day. They finally
compromised the matter by prom
ise that he would come to LaPorte
on Monday March the 10th and ar
range matters satisfactory with all
concerned.

The Wyoming Democrat is still
whining over the result of the 1888
election. We would suggest that
that paper had better confine it's
political remarks to home affairs.
During the past three years the
political complexion of Wyoming
county has reversed and now gives
Republican majority increasing
each year, hence the editorials ap-
pearing in said paper has and is
proving fruitless.

Boston, Mass, July 28.-The steam

the captain and crew of the steamer

steamer tells the following story: "The
Morand sailed from New York Friday
afternoon for Vera Cruz, with oil be-
longing to the Standard Oil Go. She
had on board crew of eighteen, the
captains wife and daughter. On
Saturday morning at 1:30 o'clock,
during a gale, an unknown schooner
was sighted dead ahead. The
steamer was put to starboard, but the
schooner changed her course at the same
time, the result being collision. The
sailing craft, deeply laden, struck the
steamer amidship, tearing open ten
foot hole and flooding the engine room.
The schooner's mast went by the boards
and as the gale drove the vessels apart
cries for help were heard coming from
the schooner. The steamer filed q
rapidly that all hands had to take to tn.
boats, saving nothing. They were onl,
kept afoat by constant bailing. At tel
O'Clock in the morning the exhausted
crew was sighted by the Miller. Afte
an hours exciting manouevering, on &C
count of the heavy sea, all hands wer
gotten on board. Capt. Marshall wa
badly injured by flying splinters. Wha
became of the schooner is unknown, bu
it is believed that she went down wit
her crew.
