New Castle, Pa, May I0.-The Dud-
leys, calling themselves clairvoyants,
advertised that they would tell the
name OF the murderer OF the late city
treasurer, John Bleyins, at the opera

finishing by saying 1T was committed

Hustling News Agent.

Leslie II. Sewers, who since Novem-
b,r year ago, has handled all Of the
papers, excepting the local ones, that
have been sold and distributed In this
city, has sold out his interest and will
retire from the local field. He has not
determined where he will go although
he has had good offers from at least
half dozen newspapers In Pittsburg,
Cleveland and New York where good
circulation men are always In demand.
1t Is claimed that no man was able to
make a go out Of the foreign newspaper
routes in this city until Mr.. Sewers
came here. He broke the hoodoo and
also shattered his health by his per-
sistent efforts to,advance the interests

Farmer Don't Need License.

The full text OF the new law approved
by Governor Pennypacker April 22nd,
1903, to permit farmers to sell their own
products without license, is as follows:
"Be 1t enacted-That after the pas
sage OF this act 1t shall be unlawful
for any borough or city of this common
wealth to levy or collect any tax or
money, as license fee, from any farm.
er who sells his own products in or
about the streets OF any borough of this
commonwealth. Any and all acts in.
consistent herewith are hereby re-
pealed."
Reynoldsville has an ordinance re-
lating to hawkers and peddlers but It
is provided, that this ordinance shall
not apply to persons resident in the
county selling their own farm produce" /"
Thus 1t will be seen that the new law
was not necessary for Reynoldsville
borough.

This Puzzling World.

When a person minds only his own
business he is called selfish. When he
takes care OF his means and buys only
what he can pay for he is called stingy.
When be keeps his own counsel and
keeps control of his family he Is called
tyrant. When he lets everybody do
as they please and take what is left, he
is called soft. When he makes fun at
at his own expense to amuse others, he
is crazy. When he does what he can to
help another at his own Inconvenience,
he is called a fool. What shall we do,
then Go ahead as near right as you
can, without any concern for what men
say.-East Brady Repieio.

The Tanning Industry.

Col. A. A. Clearwater, OF the Elk
Tanning Company, Ridgway, is in town
to-day. Colonel Clearwater says tho
tanning business in Pennsylvania will
soon have to'depend on some other than
the local supply Of bark for its tannin.
Tannic acid from chestnut timber is
now being largely used, and certain
plants, which might be cultivated in
different sections Of the country, contain
a large percentage of tannin, which may
ultimately be substituted for bark for
the purpose of making leather. There
is still, however, considerable hemlock
bark In this country, but it is being
rapidly consumed, and must be ex.
hausted In a comparative few years.

The principle of Direct Legislation
through the Initiative and Referendum
is of late attracting widespread atten-
tion. Many thinking men regard 1t as
the hope OF the republic. Under it ours
would truly be government OF the
people. Through 1t the people can, by
petition, secure the consideration Of any
measure In which they may be interest
ed and by the same means they can re-
quire any bill passed by the Legislature
to be voted upon by the people before
II becomes law
The states Of South Dakota and
Oregon have by amendments to their
constitutions adopted the Initiative and
Referendum. In the latter state the
Grange was one OF the main factors In
securing It. Since last November the

Last fall or early In the winter Con-
stable Spence OF Dayton, Armstrong
county, arrested man named Wad-
ding on warrant from constable at
Vandergrift Heights. Wadding wanted
the constable to take him before q
justice of the peace that Le might Sc
cure and enter bail Having no bail
ready to offer, the constable refused his
request, and put him In tho Dayton
lookup where he was kept two nights
and day. The charge against him
was desertion and non-support Of his
wife. Wadding sued Spencer to re-
cover damages for not being allowed to
enter bail for bailable offense.
Defendants answer was that he had
acted as advised and as prudeut man
should have done. In the trial OF the
case at Kittanning Judge Patton ruled
that 1t Is not the duty of the constable
to take prisoner to the Office Of u
justice Of the peace to give bail until
the prisoner has notified that he has
bail to offer that will probably be ac-
cepted by the justice. Under the courts
instruction the jury returned a verdict
for the constable without leaving the
box. The decision does away with the
commonly accepted idea that a con-
stable must go with prisoner In search
OF bail. Dubois Express.

Troublesome Sinners.

The bible says that In the grave "the
wicked cease from troubling and the
weary are at rest" The inference from
this statement is, that trouble Is caused
by wicked people. 1t is general truth
that trouble is caused by bad people.
AS a rule good people don't make
trouble. II there is man or woman In
the community making trouble, it can
be set down as fact that they are not
good people. And this is true whether
they are old or young, learned or ignor-
ant, high or low. rich or poor, saint"
