A new scheme has been sprung on the
unsuspecting. The Genesee News reports
a case of solicitation among the business
men of that town to secure members to
an organization known as the "Equit-
able Tax and Freight Association of
America Judging from the News &C
count of promises made by representa-
tives we should Judge that the associa-
ton were worthy of careful investiga-
tion-before putting any money into it's
treasury. That paper says: To join
you are asked $3.50 initiation fee and
rs cents per month for a year. You
are promised lower freight rates on
goods shipped both ways. A number of
the business men joined, later on the
grain raisers will be solicited, the gentle
men claiming they will be able to get a
reduction on wheat rates of three cents
per bushel to the coast. Hope they will.
Ii it is good thing let US all push it.
But is it what it is represented to be?
We have seen nothing of this in any OF
our neighbOring exchanges.

The soft drink men are to get a jolt

the authorizations of the past will no
longer be tolerated, and that only pure
fruit juices shall be used in the decoc-
tions. Anything in the line containing
salicylic acid or saccharine will be con-
sidered adulterated, and the dispenser
will be brought to account. The refill
ing of labelled catsup and Worcester
sauce bottles will be considered an Of
tense by hotels and restaurants, and the
use of all coal tar dyes in coloring food
articles absolutely prohibited, as they
are poisonous. The pure food law was
enacted to protect the people from
authorizations in their daily food. 1t is
a wise measure and should be rigidly en-
forced.

workmen as a rule go armed and ready for
trouble, and that this state of affairs had
at last become unbearable. The company

added that the strikers have resolved not

From another source il was learned YES

HALLOWEEN PARTY.
Members of the Y. w. G. A. and Y. vi.
G. 4. Participate.

About three hundred members of the Y
W. c. a. and of the Y. NJ. c. a. united last
night and gave an old-time Halloween
party in the rooms of the Y. w. c. A on
North Pennsylvania street. On entering
the porch of the building the guests were
confronted with two ghastly-looking jack
o'-lanterns. On the inside one was met by
two young women. One of them took care
of any supertiuOus wearing apparel that
might be dangling i'm ones hands, while
the other requested the name of the visitor.
The latter, after struggling for some time
with the names OF guests, wrote them on
a caro-, Whlch she handed to her assistant,
who pinned them on the lapelS of the Wis
1tOrS' coats. After this ceremony per-
formed the guest was conducted above
stairs into the gymnasium. where all kinds
OF games were being played Nearly all
the games related TO fOrtune-telling. There
were three palmlStS seated in little tepeeS.
About each one weresa dozen or more girls,
with outstretched hands and all crying at
the same time for the reading of their
palms.
One of the cleverest games of the evening
was In the Spirits Dining Room" One
young man, as he surveyed the huge sign
on the door. said: That is good name
for saloon. This place was a favorite
during the evening. Sixteen people only
could be entertained at one time. While
one crowd would be on the inside another
would collect outside the door. The laugh
ter emanaung from the room only made
the crowd outside more eager to enter.
After the games had all been tested by
the gay young people the guests went into
the large uln1ng room of the institution,
where supper was served

The STATE COMMITTEE
ITS REORGANIZATION Is BEING
WATCHED BY REPUBLICANS.
There May BE a Number of Changes
in the Personnel of the
Committee.

Politicians over the State are taking an
interest in the approaching reorganization
of the Republican state committee, which
will take place in January. 1t is under
stood that there will probably be number
of changes In the makeup of the commit

Winchester, committeeman from the
Eighth district, is now at the head of the
committee.
1t is announced that Mr.. Goodrich does
not desire TO be a member of the commit
tee again, but it is the understanding that
he will be a candidate for reelection to
the craftsmanship. 1t is said that A a.
Small, of Anderson, will be a candidate
for the office of committeeman in Mr..
Goodrich's place. The further announce
ment is made that Warren Bgler, secre-
teeman from the Eleventh district, will not
be a candidate for the latter honor again,
but may be a candidate for the secretary
ship. The secretary does not necessarily
have 20 be a member of the committee.
George w. Self, Committeeman from the
ed, seek the honor again. There is
talk of Adam Beck, of Huntington, sue
ceeding Mr. Bigler in the Eleventh district.
The manner of reOrganiZing the committee
iS for the state chairman to direct that
meetings be held in the several counties for
the purpose of selecting delegates to con-
greSslonal meetings. Later at the congress
sional meetings, these delegates select the
committeeman. These officers then meet in
this city and organize the committee.

said they had never before seen boys with
so much cunning. Each admitted having
been with the other when the thefts were
committed, but neither would admit hav-
ing been the leader. Young krug would
