Stroudsburg, Aug. 3.-When the pub
lie boarded the trolley here yesterday
they were greeted by fair young con-
ductors in the persons of the prettiest
girls in the town, who ran the street
cars for the benefit of the Ladies' Aid
society attached to the local camp of
Sons of Veterans.
The girl conductors wore military
caps jauntily perched on the side of

their only fault being a tendency to
forget the change By evening they

Susquehanna, August 3.-Hundreds
of tons of cut grass last week spoiled
in the fields of Susquehanna county.
The great fall of rain was preceded
by protracted draught. Truly the
farmers lot is not a happy one. Some
years ago, so the legend runs. all this
section was visited by an unexampled
drought, and vegetation was withering
beneath the blistering sun. A jackson
township deacon was firm believer in
the efficacy of prayer for all things
needed. He assembled his neighbors
and prayed all night for rain. On the
following day the rains descended
and they continued to descend for ten
days, and the floods washed away
fields of corn and waving grain 1t was
worse than the drought. A neighbor
met the deacon in the highway and
asked him what he thought about
prayer as a weather regulator "Well,"
replied the good man, "all l have got
to say is, that the Lord is always
OVERRIDING everything!'

TOPEkA, Kan, Aug. l5.-As a bit of
aftermath of the popu1ist state COM
mittee meeting it was talked Saturday
that the visit of the populists who came
to Topeka Thursday developed the fact
that an extra session of the legislature
would be dangerous. The chance that
it would result in legislation reducing
railroad rates was said to be small.
One of the workers said the investiga-
tions of bribery charges had caused so
much feeling that if the members of
the legislature would meet there was
danger that they could not agree ON any
measure.

A Mistake in the Time Schedule Has Oper-

ated Against Them.
TOPEKA. Kan, Aug. 11.-By an error
just discovered in the schedule of time
to be deducted from the terms of con-
victs in the pen, it is estimated that
the state of Kansas has secured from
convicts within the past % years 7S3,
600 days work to which it was not
legally entitled. This labor purchased
at the ordinary rate would amount to
more than $1,000. 600. The schedule
was prepared in 1867, and has been in
constant use without change since
that time. 1t provided deductions for
good behavior, which, upon careful ex-
animation by the encouragement, are
found to be entirely to the benefit of
the state, and really compelled the
convicts to serve extra time. A man
serving one year by the table could
not secure his liberty until three days
after he was legally entitled to it. On
a two years sentence by the table the
state has been gaining an advantage
of Is days; in three years terms. the
amount gained has been 40 days; ten
years, 1S2 days; Is years, 2S2 days; 20
years. 400 days The error was discov-
cred by N NJ Wells, of the state board
