Farmer Goodwin of Dover Returns Satur-
day, After a -Four Weeks Visit in South
Dakota.
After a visit of four weeks with friends
in South Dakota, James S. Goodwin Of
near Dover, returned home Saturday
evening. He was accompanied on his
return trip by w. d. Story, a young
man of the West, who visited Delaware
two score and four years ago, and who
now comes to take up permanent resi-
dence, Mr.. Story's parents will follow
him east in the fall.
Mr.. Goodwin gives an interesting de-
scription of his visit and returns better
satisfied than ever that there are good
many worse places to live in than Della
ware, and especially in the neighbor-
hood of Dover He states that the corn
crop in South Dakota has been failure
for two years or more and adds that the
horses OF many of the farmers in that
section of the country have not had an
ear of corn in that time as result of
the failure of the crop.
Mr.. Goodwin visited many interesting
points in the West and stopped over at
Chicago on his return home. He
brought with HIM many little curlos,
among them being prairie dog, which
seemed rs glad to reach Delaware after
its long journey as did its new owner.
A Dakota Jack rabbit was also included
in Mr.. Godwiu's baggage, when he
started home, but it died on the way.

MILIrIRY MATTERS.
Probable Formation of Battalion
Which viii Necessitate the Election oi

Probable Formation of n Battalion,
Which viii Necessitate the Election OF
Major.
Adiutant. General Garrett J. Hart has
about completed the work of getting
matters into shape in the National
Guard, but there are yet two offices to
fill, one of which will be elected in u
short time by the board of officers and
the other will he appointed temporarily
by the acknowledgement.
1t is the intention of Gen. Hart to
form battalion from the three city
companies-A, G and F-and Co. H Of
New Castle, and in the event Of forma-
ton of battalion the election of a
major will be necessary. During the
existence of Troop B there were four
companies in the city, which constituted
battalion. Gen. Hart was major, but
now that he has been promoted and
there Is likely to be necessity to con-
tinue the office, the election of his sue.
cessor will be necessary. 1t is probable
that Capt. |. p. Wickersham Of Co. g
may be chosen. He is good officer
and thoroughly capable Of filling the
position.
The formation of a battlion in New
SdSlle county Will De DeueuCldi 10 lnc
men, for then they will be given occa-
sional battalion drills. In pleasant
weather the drilling can be done out
doors.
As A. d. Chaytor has been appointed
assistant quartermaster-general on the
Governors staff, the office of regimental
quartermaster is vacant, but as there are
no encampments there is not much
work to be done, and it is altogether
likely that Gen. Hart will appoint first
lieutenant OF one of the companies tc
I'LL the place temporarily. A permanent
appointment is not likely to be made fol
some time, and Gen. Hart has not yet
selected a man to ill the place tempor'
arily.
Cos. A and G are increasing theil
membership and Co. + is holding it;
own. With the new order of thing!
new life is likely to be instilled into thu
local military organization. The com
panies are now preparing to improve
and refurnlsh their several quarters a
private expense. The drum corps is ii
good shape, too.
Joseph X. Meginnis is the jantor o
the armory, and as ho is clothed will
police authority the place is we'll taker
care of, and no more robberies are re
ported about the building.

PLAYING CARDS ON GRAVES.
Terrible Tale of Dissertation at Old
Swedes Cemetery.

Four Small Boys Arrested for TrespassinG,
and the Evidenced OF an officer in Police
Court Reveals story That Seems AL
most Increhible.
Four small boys were arraigned in
municipal court on Monday charged
with trespassing on the property of Old
Swedes Church. Special Officer Joseph
L. Cannon testified that he had seen a
number of boys recently running over
the graves in the cemetery, tearing down
rails around lots, pushing over tomb
stones, throwing missiles at the monu-
monts and playing ball. He said he had
also seen young men in the cemetery
playing cards on the graves aud
drinking beer. In fact it had
become a veritable common, and
most disgraceful scenes had been en-
acted there. The parents of the boys
were required to give bond in the sum
of 800 to keep the boys out of the
cemetery. The wardens of the church
intend to break this nuisance up. This is
the first time they have been able to gel
any names.

'cedfng the close of the polls there Satur-
day evening. Matters were very lively,
quite as much SO as atany municipal cleo

as diligently as any candidate could de
sire. ltwas not the fault Of DR.. Whites
workers that sine did not carry off the
prize. Her ticket peddlers pleaded hard
with everyone that came in sight, often
meeting The voters u block away from
the polls.
There was great deal of pleasantly
over the work and also a great dea! OF
most earnest urging. 1t is understood
that the ward had been blocked for botl
contestants. Tickets had been lef
under the doors of the voters in the mos
approved manner of the regular politi
cal campaign.
MIR. BAcH's POSITIVE DENIAL.
A statement was published Sunda,
credited to brother of DIR, Josephine
M. r. White, the candidate running il

In the Eighth ward, just before the

voters OF that ward came up to the
window. After chatting awhile, they
ascertained that there was no opposition
to Candidate O. Marion Leitch. "Oh,
let's go a,sleighingw one of them re-
marked. Then the quartet strolled away
laughing, without having cast ballot.
VOTED For THE NOVELTY.
In the Fifth ward three voters saun-
tered up TO the polling place and on
being urged to vote by DR.. Whites
ticket sellers, Boys" cried one, 81

army.
He reached his fathers house at

he was sentenced to six weeks in prison,
at the end of which time he must begin
three years term in the army. David

panied Mr.. Rothschild, employed law
yer and they laid the facts of the case
before the military authorities, with the
result that the sentence was changed to
fine OF 800 marks and papers were for
warded to the War Department at
Berlin, which will decide whether MIR.
Rothschld shall serve his army term.
Mr.. Rothschild paid the fine and
pending the decision of the War Depart
mont he has gone over to Switzerland
where he now is.

NEW Local FACTORY.
TalIy-on-Top Sales Book Co. to Erect a
Factory Here 5OxIO0 Feet.

The managers Of the new industry
located here, the Tally.on-Top Sales
Book Co., have arranged to erect fac
tory 50x100 feet, one.story, at Eleventh
and Union streets, adjoining the Della
ware Hard Fibre Co.'s premises. The
purpose is to manufacture an endless
webb sales check book, under the name
of the Tally-on-Top Sales Book. The
invention has met with such increased
demand that the company found it ad-
vantageous to remove here from Phila-
deiphia to obtain all the ground floor
space needed. The device is of interest to
all retail merchants because it es.the
necessity of listing and comparing in
order TO obtain correct audit of the
days business, both charge and cash. Its
use prevents, absolutely, all opportunity
of mistakes or of failure to charge books.
