The directors of the Lake Mokoma
Land Company held a meeting in
Williamsport on Thursday last, and
if all rumors are correct, it was a
lively meeting, too. The fact of the
matter is, our people have been put
aside by those Williamsporters con>
nected in the Mokoma Land Co.,
just about as long as they intend to
be, and have resolved that they know
what investments will pay about the
property equally as we'll as our city
guests. Accordingly, Judge Ing
ham made motion in the meeting
that the Lake Mokoma Land Co.
place steamboat on the lake this
summer to cost not less than twelve
hundred dollars. As matter OF
course our Williamsport friends OBJ
jected and said it would not pay
Hon. Russell Karns was silent
listener for some little time, but as
the debate waxed warm he could moi
stand it longer and sprang from his
seat and with an emphatic expires
sion, said it would pay and that h,
would pay ten per cent. on tn,
money invested. This ended the
controversy and vote was taker
and carried, hence, we can announc,
to our readers that steamboat will
without fail, be placed on Lake Mo
koma this summer.

In learning to swim, if you have
confidence in yourself and your
powers, and strike out strongly, you
will succeed. If, on the other hand,
you make few wild movements and
then stop, you will sink. So it is in
advertising. It's the man who knows
what he is going to do and does it
that gets on in the advertising world.

AN ALLEGED CONFESsION.

terry Ie,mOrs to-day.
1t transpire that there was more
in the rumor oncerning the House
knecht myster, published exclusive
ly in the RepJlica,e last Saturday,
than was thought to be at the time,
but whether here is anything of
truth in the rport remains to be
seen.
Nobody in Iuncy seems to know
anything abot the matter, but
from Hnghes,lle comes an addi.
tional report, which strengthens the
rumor publised Saturday. In
stead of it beng a brakeman who
made the concession, it is stated
that one Jacol Rocker, of Muncy,
reported to bea dissolute character,
one day last week jumped a freight
train and wentto Harrisburg, where
he was arrestes for illegal car-riding
and locked up.
While AN innate of the Dauphin
county Jail, locker attempted to
commit suicid, by cutting his
throat. The attempt, however, was
unsuccessful. The sheriff of Dauph-
in county tookRooker to task for
attempting SET destruction and
asked him whybe did it. Rocker
was said to have replied that he
was implicatedin the Houseknecht
affair at Muny, and the sheriff
questioning hin closely, got a con-
fession out of Inn.
Rocker, it il alleged, told the
sheriff that he was With House
knecht and two other men behind
the barn in the .lley which has be-
come famous in connection with the
mysterious affair that the men at
tempted to tke Houseknecht's
money away frou him; that House.
knecht rebelled, and one of the men
shot and killed him. Then the
body of Houseknscht was put in a
buggy, and haued to the Muncy
river bridge and carried out upon
the bridge ard dropped into the
water, with thu frog of a switch tied
to it, presumably among the wreck
age of some fieight cars that went
down to the bottom OF the river
from the old river bridge the time
of the big flood Rocker is said to
have explained that he was in the
game, but had n'thing to do with
the shooting.
Rocker was bought home from
Harrisburg Saturday and is now
under the care o. a physician. 1t is
said that he has denied the story in
every particular People in Muncy
generally discredit the story, and
place no credence in what Rocker
says.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY GOES TO MUNCY.
District Attorney Gilmore was
seen by reporter this afternoon
about the latest Iouseknecht rumor
and when asked t he had anything
new on the subject he replied that
he had just heard of the report, and
knew nothing about it.
He had head nothing from
Muncy lately, he said, and the re>
port of an alleged confession was
news to him. He said, however,
that he would go down to Muncy
this afternoon, and investigate the
matter.
NOT KNOWf IN MUNCY.
Whatever the stories may be here,
the people of Murcy don't seem to
know anything about it. The Re
publican has telephoned to num-
Der of parties there to-day, but has
been unable to verify the rumored
confession, or in fact any rumor for
that matter. One party said in re-
ply TO the question put by the Re :
publican, that there was nothing
new at all, that it was talk, if
anything.-Willismsport Republican

adopted the following very sensible
rule: That any pupil using tobacco

shall suffer expulsion from the

house corridor and his declaration
that he smoked ten cigarettes day
is what led to the adoption of the
rule.

The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1894-08-22

The committee appointed by President
Cleveland to investigate the recent labor
trouble during the strike, is now taking
testimony in Chicago. The chiefs of the
farce have been called in, and they do
not care to testify, but merely give
opinions. They seem to think that the
government should own the railways.
The opinions of such men are important
for the country to know. When the
committee returns to Washington, they
will know just as much for the benefit
of the people as they did before they
started. The Pullman company and the
managers of the railways will continue
to operate their own branches of business
just as they see proper, Notwithstanding
this committee has been to Chicago. 1t
is shame to disburse money in such a
way as this. Let the employees leave the
service Of a company when they do not
like it, as decent men should do, and
there would be no trouble.

The new Catholic church in Cleveland
was dedicated in regular order by a bis
hop from Wisconsin on Sunday. The
new departure has been brought about,
they claim, purely on account Of oppres-
sion. The ideas Of the pope at Rome are
un-American, and if his mandates are
obeyed the laws in this country would in
many respects be abrOgated. 1t is ex-
pected that additional societies will soon
be formed with many more to follow.
The bishop said to a Cleveland Leader
reporter on Saturday: my people in
Wisconsin are mostly Belgians. When
began work among them ten years ago
few Of them could speak English and
they were adverse to sending their child
dren to the public schools. But they are
becoming enlightened. We also have a
congregation in San Francisco. We
shall have Polish, French, and Othel
branches of the American Catholic
church. Our faith is. orthodox, but We
believe in the public schools and decline
to bow to a foreign despot."

It is estimated that seven thousand
men in the employ of the railroads
previous to June 26, have lost their po-
sitions on account Of being connected
with the late strike, and they cannot be
employed on any other railroad, as each
has a list of smart fellows and decline to
employ them. This is the correct plan
to adopt. Had they remained out of the
A. R. Q. they might all had their places
today; but such acts of foOlishness will
be the means of making hard shedding
for the families of the poor misguided
individuals.

A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Fooled.

The following graphic statement will be
read with intense Interest: ~ cannot describe
the numb. creepy sensation that existed In my
arms, hands and legs. Ihad to rub and beat
those parts until they were sore to overcome
In measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession Of them. In addition, had
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indescribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said 1t
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
Ing to their universal conclusion, there Is no
relief Once 1t fastens upon person, they
say, 1t continues its insidlous progress until
1t reaches q vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. / had been doctoring
q year and q half steadily, but with no par
ticular benefit. when saw an advertisement
of DIR Miles Restorative Nervine, procured Q
bottle and began using 1t. Marvellous as 1t
may seem, but o few days had passed before
every bit of that creepy feeling had left me,
and there has not been even the slightest
Indication Of its return. l now feel as
we'll as / ever did, and have gained ten
pounds in weight, though l had run down
from ITO to 1877. Four others have used DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine on my recomen-
dation, and 1t has been as satisfactory in their
cases as in mine."-James Kane, La Rue, o.
