Ashley has a Charlie Ross case on
hand. On Friday last Eddie Brotherton,
the six-year-old son of Joseph Brother
ton, one of the wealthiest residents OF
the town, disappeared and despite the
search that has been kept up ever since
he has not been found. On Friday he
went out to play in the afternoon, and
was last seen on the principal street.
All day on Monday searching parties
secured the mountains, dragged the
deep pools of Solomon's creek, descend
ed into dangerous cave holes, looked
into deserted buildings, even the mines
and coal drifts long since abandoned
were not forgotten, but the search re-
vealed nothing.
Finally some one suggested that the
missing boy mighgt have wandered on
the ice of the Carles pond, broke through
and drowned. The fremen of Ashley
soon had their apparatus on the ground
and began to pump. When the water
had been lowered to half the usual depth
ten of the fremen, unable longer TO
stand the suspense, plunged into the
water, and as they progressed slowly
toward the opposite side of the pool
leaned forward and with their hands
felt carefully upon the muddy bottom,
hoping to find the body. This proceed
ing, like efforts in other directions, PROV
ed unavailing, and had to be given up.
The missing boy was a great favorite
with everybody and hundreds of people
are looking for him. 1t is supposed he
has been kidnapped and is being held
until his parents offer reward for him.
Detectives have been engaged and ara.
working on the case.

sehuylkill,s oontrollership MIDDLE

As result of the refusal to deliver up
the books and papers of the commits.
soners to Messrs, Samuels, Jenkyn and
Doyle, the newly elected board of audi
tors of Schuylkill county. Phil j. Con
nell, the commissioner chief clerk, was
arrested on Tuesday.
The difficulty is due to the opinion of
County Solicitor Ulrch, who holds that
the act creating the Office of county con-
troler abolishes that of county auditor.
Mr.. Connell was subpoenaed to APP
pear before the auditors with the books
and papers of the commissioners.
Acting under the advice Of the county
solicitor, he refused to do so, and this
led the auditors, through their attorney,
William Wilhelm, Esq, to secure an
attachment upon him to appear before
them. Connell was set free by the court
on his own recognizance.

Blew OF His Hand.

John Richards, a miner living in
Scranton, has recently had annoying
family troubles, and on Tuesday went
home greatly under the influence of
liquor. Before he turned his steps
homeward he assured several of his
friends that he was weary of life and
contemplated suicide. When he reached
home he began fierce quarrel with his
wife and while this was in progress he
pulled a dynamite cartridge from his
pocket and attempted to explode in his
mouth.
In his haste, fearing his purpose would
be opposed, he unintentionally exploded
the cartridge in his fingers. His hand
was completely shattered to the wrist
and two of his fingers were blown away.
He is believed to be deranged.

Shows Can't stand This Law.

Auditor General Gregg has notified the
treasurers of the various counties that the
statement sent out by him few days age
that he had suspended the enforcement
of the old license act of April 16, 1915,
pending decision in test case in
Lancaster county regarding the theatri-
cal license, is incorrect. He says he has
no power to suspend any law.
1t was recently decided that under
this act every county treasurer must col
lect $50 license fee from every theatri-
cal troupe or company, Independent of
what is known as the common house
license, unless a state license is taken
out at cost of 81 900. The effect of the
general enforcement of the theatrical
law of lS45, with the supplementary act
of 1859, theatrical managers say, will be
disastrous throughout the state, as in its
operation only the cities practically
escape, and in them the show and play
will be much reduced in number.
No move will be made by Treasurer
Reed to compel the payment of the $50
theatrical license by the managers of the
various houses in this county until the
Lancaster case is settled positively. If
that case is decided against the mana
gers, collection will of course be enforced
all through the state, and will end plays
in Freeland and many other towns.

UPPER LEHlGH NOTES.

On Friday last We were nearly having
another drowning accident in the same
place where young McEyoy was drown
ed some time ago. Several small boys
went there skating and while enjoying
themselves the ice broke and one of
them went down. The other boys were
unable to give him any assistance, but
his cries for help attracted the attention
of some men who were working in the
woods nearby and with the aid of long
pole they rescued him with great diff
Guilty.

After being identified, and while being

as Il stimulant. In about two hours
after he got up and whipped the board

Grip Made Him Insane.

Howard Smith, of Wilkes-Barre, is
lost somewhere in the mountain near
Nescopeck and it is feared he is dead.
Several days ago while suffering with a
severe attack of the grip he left his home
and started away down country. At one
farm house he knocked at the door and
asked to be admitted. The inmates re-
fused to take him in, fearing that he
might do them some harm. He then
removed his coat and vest, hung them
on tree and departed.
Several miles further on he was seen
digging under fence in his shirt sleeves,
A man approached him and laying his
hand on his arm asked what he was dig
ging for. The crazed man replied that
he was looking for grip" that he and
grip had started on journey together
and that he had lost him and thought
he had crawled into the ground,
The poor director of the township was
sent for and took the man to his home,
where a coat and hat were secured.
After considerable questioning the town
ship officer who had surmised what the
trouble was learned enough to know
about where the man lived. He gave
him some food, but during the next few
minutes Smith escaped. He was traced
to the mountains on Tuesday, but has
not yet been found.

You WIZ Say the Same.

The following extract is copied from
a recent New York exchange, concerning
Powell, the magician, ON his first ap-
pearance in that city: 81 went to his
entertainment, and before he had prog
ressed far | was satisfied he was the
greatest artist | had ever seen. His
work is quicker and neater, more artis-
tic, more mysterious, and in fact evoked
more wonder than any magician had
ever seen, and ! have seen all the great
ones. The large audience last night set
the seal of success upon him before he
had been on the stage half an hour He
is indeed a wonder and will make a for
tune for himself and his manager bef ore
lie is many years older For magician
to give an entire evenings entertain
ment of all new illusions and mysteries.
and that are new to New York audi.
ence, and TO receive curtain call at the
close of his performace, is novelty in
deed, but that is exactly what Powell
did last night"
Powell will be seen at the opera house

here is one of those really good things
of the amusement season that you can

strength of the ticket nominated, and
unless some of the bitter feeling caused

require considerable labor to elect the
nominees. The delegates have been
the subject of much criticism since the
