On Monday night at the first Bap-
tist church, Elder J. II. Bradford,
pastor, a midnight service was held,
watching out the old century and
watching in the new century. Ser
vice occurred at 1890 with good
congregation of townpeople ire
spective of creed, and the meeting
was very spiritual and enjoyable.
The service consisted ofsong, prayer,
and speaking by friends who were
present, and thoughtful and appro-
pirate address by pastor Bradford,
on the subject, "Standing between

concluded at the proper time with
prayer by Mr.. Albert Conkling, and

"A dozen farmers in the eastern
part of Lycoming county, during
the past week, have found them
selves the victims of II shrewd
swindling game, and it is estimated
that the promoters of the scheme
have garnered about $4,000 as the
result of their cupidity.
In the early part of the fall, when
the buckwheat was beginning to
head up nicely, several smooth tom
gued strangers visited the farmers
for the purpose of purchasing OPP
tions on their buckwheat crops.
The strangers, who appeared to he
familiar with farming and crop
growing, placed an estimate on a
field of buckwheat, offered certain
price for the same and rendered u
payment to close the bargain. In
most of the eases heard from where
sales were effected the buyers paid
so on the bargain. " As II matter
of business, they said, receipt for
the amount paid was required, 50
that they could show to their en-
ployers how much and with whom
the business was done. These
''receipts" now turn cut to have
been "skin-tight" notes, and they
have come back To the farmers
raised to $3.50. The huckwheat crop
was harvested aud garnere,l, but the
"purchasers" failed to come for the
grain. During the past week those
who sold their fields have been noti-
fled by banks in this city and other
nearby towns that notes bearing
their signature had heen sent to
them for collection. Now the farm
ers are wondering whether they can
catch the fellows who ileeeed them.

Sudden Death of Estimable Young Lady.
1t is the sad duty of the News
Item to chronicle the untimely
death of Miss Fannie ..E. Rogers,
only sFdaughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J.
". Rogers, Of Forksville, Pa,
which occurred early Saturday morn
ing, in Philadelphia where she had
been for several months pursuing
musical studies. About three weeks
ago she was stricken with typhoid,
fever. Her mother was at once
summoned to her bedside and with
the aid of trained nurse admins
tered to the sufferer, but in spite of
skilled medical attention and tender
ministrations, the end came. Her
body vas brought to Forksville and
the bL Stook place on Thursday.
Miss = ~ers was young lady of
rare person charms. She possess
eda bright, happy disposition and
a kind heart. Her cheerful dispO-
sition and friendliness endeared her
to all who knew her. She was gift
ed with rich, sweet soprano voice
and therefore had gained much pop
ularity as vocalist, to which sever
al years of study had given promise
of brilliant musical career. In
this case, the old adage, "Death
loves shining mark" is truly ex-
emplified, as her life promised to be
of great usefulness and success.
She was past ~ years of age.
The sympathy of an entire COM
munity goes out to the bereaved
parents and brothers in their sad and
unexpected affiiction.

Learning How to Vote.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Sun" from Crsfield says:
"In Crisfield it is generally agreed
that to allow no assistance to voters
in secret ballot except in case OF
physical disability will practically stop
the purchase of votes and tend to de-
eide political questions on their merits.
Very little education would be re-
quired to vote the form of ballot which
is now used in Massachusetts and will
probably be adopted in Maryland,

tered the word "Republican" could
vote for every man on his ticket with
out any trouble. This world is print

an infallble guide to the correct mark.

leaders could give instructions to those
unable to master the worlds "Repub

Such ballot will not disfranchise any

is an unprecedented demand for prim

pulsory education law and the value OF
an education has been emphasized.

pronounced it local disease, and pre-

stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it ncurable. Science
has proven catarrh to he a constitu.
