OF the Fancy EIgin Creamery
Butter that is advertised and sold
by some stores in this city, for
1Sc per pound! This is not gen.
uine butter, at all, but Oleomar-
garine or Butterine, and there is
not one ounce of butter in it. The
merchant that sells it for butter,
is guilty of the same crime as the
man who passes a lead dollar for
a silver one; and the law against
selling Oleomargarine in this state
is as strict as the law for passing
counterfeit money. Any mer-
chant found selling Oleomargarine
is liable to heavy fine and i'm
prisonment. Oleomargarine costs
at wholesale lie. per pound, and
instead of charging the customer
1Sc. per pound, it should be sold
for what it is-Oleomargarine-at
121ac. per pound, retail, as that
is its real value.
Do not be swindled by store
keepers who advertise Fancy
Creamery Butter for 1Sc. per
pound, and give you Oleomar-
garine.

McMULLEN INDICTED.
Photograph of Nude Woman Found
in His Possession Which Miss
Tappan Seriously Objects
to Having Exhibited.

A case in which Carbondale people
of some prominence are involved and
which has caused quite a stir in that
city, was before the grand jury yester-
day. Evidence was heard tending TO
show that Wallace McMullen I'D in
his possession and exhibited a photo
graph of nude woman, whose face
bore a striking resemblance to Lizzie
May Tappan, a young woman to whom
McMullen had been attentive.
McMullen is So years old and Wild
over. Miss Tappan was Mrs. Frank
Williams until they were divorced. She
is 25 years old and resides with her
parents. NIcMullen began showing her
attentions soon after the death of his
wife.
When Miss Tappan was told that
McMullen was exhibiting the photo
graph, he was arrested. In his pocket
was found the picture which caused
the trouble. The charge against him
is exhibiting a lascivious photograph"
Friends of the young woman contend
that the facial part of the picture is
true likeness of the prosecutor. but
has been made a part of the whole by
a composite process which skillful pho
tographers are able to use with good
effect.
The grand jury found true BILL ac-
cording to the returns which appear in
another column.

On Monday a two weeks term of
the Superior court will open in this
city. The sessions will be held in the
beautifully appointed Superior court
room in the county court house. Hon.
Dinner Beeber, of Philadelphia, who
on last Monday was appointed to sue
ceed the late Judge Howard J. Reed
er, of Easton, will make his first APP
pearance on the bench as a Superior
court Judge.
Hon. w. d. Porter, of Pittsburg like
wise makes his first appearance and
at the same time enters upon his ten
year term of office. Hon. w. w. Porter of
Philadelphia will also enter upon his
term. He has been seen here before.
Both of these men were appointed by
Governor Hastings to fill vacancies and
in November were the candi iates of
the Republican party and we elect
ed. The court as 1t now stands is as
follows: Hon. c. e. Rice, of Wilkes
Barre, president judge; Hon. James
\. Beaver, Hon. George Orlady Hon.
y. z. Smith, w. w. Porter, Hon. w.
d. Porter, Hon. Dinner Beeber.
The Gibbons case will come up for
consideration during the second week
of the session of the court. Yester-
days Philadelphia papers stated that
the Quay case is likely to be referred
to the Superior court, but that is not
probable.
The matter of sending the case TO
the Superior court is not free from
difficulty, although the Supreme courts
power in the case would be ample and
unlimited. The latter could send 1t to
any county or could assign one of it's
members to hear the trial.
The right of the Superior court to
act at all is doubtful. Section of the
| act under which the Superior court was
created, says: THE said court shall
have no original jurisdiction, except
that it may issue writs of habeas COR
pus." Under this act the court could
hear only the complaint at most. OBJ
viously it would have no right to as
sign a member to hear it in another
county.
This case is an original one. The
Superior court can hear only an ap-
! pealed case, and it is doubtful If it
could hear the Quay case in any phase.

NORTH END SCHOOL CLOCK.
Board of Control Cannot Legally
Contribute Toward the Project.

of control reached the conclusion last
night that the board could not legally
contribute to the $1,000 subscription
fund for a public clock. North End
residents want one placed in the tower
of No. % school building and have rais-
ed for the purpose $3.50, about $3.50 less
than the amount needed.
The committeeman were individually
and collectively in favor Of the project.
They had before them. however, an
opinion by Fl. a. Knapp, ex-solicitor
of the board, on a similar question and
which practically declares that the
board cannot comply with the citizens
request.
