sheriffs of Perry county.
The party boarded Pennsylvania

Broad Street station Friday afternoon
the sheriff took his prisoner into the
restaurant in the station and John.

FORKS.

We understand petitions to court
will soon be made out, having the
signatures of the citizens, living on
the north and west side of the dllapi-
dated suspension bridge, urging the
court to recognize the necessity Of the
reconstruction of the bridge and re.
cognizing this bridge as essential as
any bridge in the township or any
highway. Where the depot and post
office are located this bridge must be
repaired on SOUND basis, and the
sooner the better. We can't afford
to 60 around Cape Horn to reach the
depot and postoffice-that is by the
Jamestown bridge near the school
house. 1t would cost but a small
amount of money to repair the bridge,
and our popular postmaster John
Harrison, offers to render material
help in the matter. The bridge must
be repaired as a matter of public ne
cessity.
Miss Grace Amerman, one of our
popular young ladies, has been doing
some fine visiting up the river and
also in Greenwood recently.
Mrs. Lena Mcintyre is making a
home visit from Elmira. She is much
pleased with Elmira and her home
there. She proposes to remain at
least month.
We understand that E. J. Bowman
is expected to address the Veterans
and Sons of Veterans of Catawissa
ere long for the purpose of building a
monument for the esoldiers there.
Bowman is veteran himself. The
preparations will be ample with other
organizations forming daylight or
torchligh procession, perhaps the latter.
The address will take place in the
Opera House there.

THE GREAT PRIZE FIGHT.
$40, 900 Expended for Expert and Exclusive
News Reports Of the Big Event.

the Philadelphia Press " has ar
ranged for exclusive and expert re-
ports of all matters relating to the
Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight, and has
the distinction of far surprising all
other papers in its field in its treat
ment of the most noteworthy event
of its kind in history. Contracts have
been made at a cost of $4,000 with
Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Referee Siler,
Martin Julian, Tom Sharkey and five
of the most noted sporting writer's
and artists of the country for personal
signed statements and pictures each
day describing every incident relating
to the fight. No other newspaper in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Della

statements or interviews, purporting
to be from the persons above named,
printed by any other paper, will be
false.
The Press never misses an op-
portunity to give to the public the
best information obtainable concern
ing current events. In its arrange

more than keeping up this record.

TESlA'S LATEST FEAT.

rhe Great Inventor Declares He Can Make
the Sun Work at His Command.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Nicola Tesla
has at last achieved his greatest ambi-
ton and has succeeded in Harvesting
the energy of the sun. 1t is declared
that he can make it work at his COM
mand. 1t was only a few months ago
that Tesla announced that he had per-
fected an invention by which cleo
tricity could be transmitted over the
whole earth and be made to work
at the will of man. 1t was said
that the great magician could not Sc
cure the power which would make
this possible except at an incalculable
expense. Now it is asserted that Tesla
has discovered the power necessary.
He says that the sun can be made to
drive every wheel that revolves, make
the night as brilliant as day and give
warmth as we'll.

william Gwin, u Marvel in Medicine and

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Willie Gwin, of
Chicago, is the only child who holds a
certificate of proficiency in anatomy
from professors of recognized medical
colleges. Though scarcely five years
of age, and no taller than a table, this
little tot is perfectly familiar with
the human skeleton and the work
of the dissecting room. In fact, he
has witnessed nearly every capital
operation known to the surgery in the
New York, Louisville, New Orleans and
Chicago hospitals. The youngster is a
marvel of precocity, and knows every
bone in the human body as we'll as
does a medical student at his final ex-
animation
