follow us along the Wesel road, we shall

I So it was settled, neither Van Tree nor
the girls having taken any part in tho dis
cussion. The former and Dymphna were
talking aside, and Mistress Anne was sit
ting low down on the bank, with her feet
almost in the water, immersed to al! op-

She dropped the hand with which she

ceived that her lip was quivering and that
there werc tears in her eyes. They were
very beautiful eyes when. as now, they
grew soft and appeal took tho place OF

A Colonial Mansion.

Paul E. Writ, of Bloomsbury, of
the Writ Fountain Pen Company,
spent Friday in this city with his
architects, E. Culver & Son, looking g
for building material. Mr.. Writ is
building one of the finest mansions in
Central Pennsylvania. 1t will be
situated on the hillside overlooking
the city Of Bloomsburg, with a grand
view of the North Branch and its
beautiful surrounding scenery for
miles down the valley. To secure
this choice location four lots were
purchased and the buildings thereon
demolished. The building will be
a fine example of old colonial work,
with stately doric columns extending
from the stone entrance steps to
the roof. The grounds will be laid
out in graceful winding walks and
driveways. When completed it will
be one of the interesting sights of
the Williamsport SIN.

On Tuesday night about quarter
Of ten o'clock, as Lee Martin, clerk
in ]. G.. Wells jewelry store, was on
his way home, and had reached Eli
Jones barn on East Third street, a
man grabbed him by the arm and
then struck him in the face. They
grapplcd and Martin was thrown
down, and his assailant placed his
knee on his throat, but Martin sue
ceeded in rolling him, and got on top
and pounded the fellow in the face,
and then ran for home. No damage
was done save few scratches.
Whether the man was lying in wait
for some one else and made a mis-
take, or was waiting for Martin, think
ing he had the keys to the jewelry
store, is not known. Not word was
spoken, and Lee does not know the
party. He says, however, that he
will mark him the next time, as he
intends to go prepared for such ruff
fans.

Courtesy Begins At Home.

Courtesy begins at home, and
should be put on with ones slippers
when the feet are thrust out of bed
In the morning. Let me see wom-
an meet her servants in the morning,
and can tell you if she be gentle
woman or no. The thoroughbred
lady-in the old acceptation of the
word-has kindly greeting for every
fellow-creature, no matter how ]owly,
with whom her life throws her in daily
or frequent contract and the little
wayside flowers, in the form of CHEEKY
"Good mornings " and "Thank
you's," which she scatters through her
days, earn for her willing, often de-
voted, service, and are most efficient
aids in helping the household ma
chinery to move on without jars.
The woman who, on leaving her
room in the morning, passes her
housemaid in the hall without notice,
unless to rebuke the girl for not hav-
ing done her work before, is boor,
no matter what be her social status
and her fellow is the woman in a
boarding house who brushes past her
neighbors without more recognition
than she would accord a stone, and
eats her meals in stolid silence which
she usually considers dignihed reserve.
Easy and pleasant recognition of
persons with whom she is for the
moment thrown in contact marks the
woman of cultured heart as we'll as
brain, and implies no further ac-
quaintance unless it should be mutu-
ally desired. The woman who is
afraid, on occasion, to speak courte-
ously to stranger, or proffer needed
service or information, must be very
uncertain of her own position. From

Last week the face of the editor Of
this paper was slightly swollen for a
couple Of days, resulting from an ul-
cerated tooth, and this led to many
inquiries as to what lawyer it was that
slipped up, or down, and kicked him
in the jaw. The coincidence of an en-
larged face and local in the previous
issue is what led to the confusion of
Jaws, and it was the high kicking OF a
young lawyer that led to the confusion
of Jaw. But it was the assistant edl-
tors facial beauty that was marred by
the heel of a slippery limb of the law,
and not ours. We leave the public to
guess who Everit was that did the
high kicking.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
0Ouncilmen Discussing Plans for the Preser-
vation of the Paving.
WIDE TIRES REQUIRED FOR HEAVY WAGONS
Topic Brought Furcibly to the Attention
ofa Councilman by an Accident Which
Happened IN Front of His
Place of business

There is talk among the members Of the
city council of introducing an ordinance in
the near future to regulate the size Of the
tires on heavy traffic wagons, in order to
prevent the speedy wearing out OF the paw
ing. Steps Of this kind have been made in
other cities, notably in Chicago, where, 1t
is said, the drivers Of heavy wagons with
tires less than three inches across are made
subject to fines.
Something must be done very soon, or the
paving which is bad enough at best, Will
be entirely destroyed. Yesterday afternoon
one of the Council Bluffs and Omaha Trans
fer company's wagons was being driven up
Broadway with heavy load of goods. At
the corner of Twenty-third street one OF the
wheels cut through the paving and went into
the earth at least eight inches, leaving an
ugly hole. The paving on Lower Broadway
is VIGOROUSLY bad, and such things are not
calculated to make it any better. One Of
Swfts teams came along and was fastened
in front of the transfer team, but the four
horses were unable to bulge the wagon. 1t
was not until a Hammond team was put on
to help that 1t could be gotten out of the
hole
This happened almost in front of Alder
man Shubert's store, and acted as potent
argument in favor of doing something He
is contemplating introducing an ordinance
making 1t compulsory on the owners Of
these heavy traffic wagons to have tires on
the wheels not less than four inches across.
Lower Broadway is continually crowded with
teams that do hauling between the two cities,
and an extra width, he thinks, is demanded
by the terrible condition the paving is now

OTTUMWA, Ia, June 29.-(Special Tele-
gram)-There was a big fight in the county
convention today over the alleged gag
method Of choosing delegates. The Harlan
men captured the convention, 100 to sixty-hve,
and broke all precedents by discarding the
wishes of the individual precincts, as had
been the custom in the selection Of delegates
and elected a solid delegation. A vigorous
remonstrance against the gag method was
made many Harlan men voting against the
method pursued. The Drake men will not
allow the incident to make any soreness. but
will enthusiastically support the nominee of
the convention, whoever he is. The delega-
tion goes uninstructed, but Is solid for Har-
Ian. The delegates chosen are: s. V. Samp-
