AT Pennsboro, two constables and
the prosecuting attorney went out
some distance from the town to raid
Collins speakeasy. Collins ran and
one of the constables shot at him.

the constable and compelled him to

in this county. Query: Can there

"THE Man of Last Resort" NJ. D..
Posts new book has arrived and is
on sale at the Acme book store. The
first book published by Mr.. Post,
"The Strange Schemes of Randolph
Mason" attracted much attention
and this one is even more interest
ing than his first attempt No grad
uate of the University is meeting
with more marked success than Post
and the fact that he was once a
well known student here adds a
great deal to the local interest in his
book. 1t will repay you to get it
and read it.
FEW people are aware that the
annual freight bill of this country
amounts to more than $500, 900, 600.
1t is tax, and the most burdensome
tax which this country knows, upon

ted States pays on an average $50 a
year for freight alone. If commits
sioner Wright's statistics are correct
that the average income of each la
borerer in this country is not more
ian $500 year--then each head of a
family must set aside on the average
the results of a month and half of
toll to pay his share of the freight.
There is no Jones to do it here. !"
Mr.. c. |. TRowBRIDGE was some
what surprised last night to find
that he had died. He was laboring
under the pleasant delusion that he
was very much alive when the start
ling intelligence was conveyed to
him that he had joined the great
majority. In spite of his demise he
is still feeling very clipper and has
every prospect of recovering from
that as successfully as from the fe-
yer which he recently had. This is
the same man who published a card
of thanks in this paper on Monday
expressing his gratitude for what
had been done for him by the gener-
Gus people of the town.
HE Government officials at In
dianapolis have received information
of new counterfeit silver dollar
that has recently been put into cir
culation. The new coin is dated
1888 and bears the New Orleans
mint mark. It's most glaring fault
is that no margin is left between the
