A WILD WEST SNOWMAN DOES STUNT
AT GAYLORDsvILLE.
Has the sedate and hustling E. M.
Waller gone into the Wild West show
business? An event at Gaylordsville,
Friday morning, led the citizens
around the Center to think So Mr.
Waller went to the city Of New Mil
ford, as often is his custom
on business matters, leaving
his speedy horse hitched
to his favorite blackboard under the
shed at Mr. Hurd's. Shortly after
11.30 Mr. Walters horse was seen to go
through Gaylordsville at lightning
speed with an Indian driver. Mr. Hurd
telephoned over to the store to stop
the team, that some one was running
away with Walters outfit. The mes
driver cut such antics in passing
through the Vile that the electricity
was attracted from the New Milford
Power Co. s wires. Up Waller avenue
he dashed. After a time the driver
was seen coming back, when the strong
men Of the place formed Gordon and
brought Mr. Circus Man to a stand
still. Walters horse was taken from
him in painting condition. 1t was a
sad ending of Walters Great and Only
Wild West show, but some strong fire
water absorbed in New Milford is sup
posed to have caused the driver to see
double and pick the wrong horse.

LOOKS LIKE BUSlN ESS.
Construction Of MiiIville Trolley Will be
Started Early in the Spring.

That the promise of the promot-
ers of the Bloomsbury and Millville
Trolley line, to commence the con-
struction OF the road as soon as
spring and favorable weather ar
rives was made in sincerity and
good faith, was attested on Mou-
day when the distribution of the
ties along the proposed route was
started. This will serve to disabuse
the minds of those who have held
that the construction Of the road is
many years distant.
The application made by c. w.
Miller, Esq. to the Town Council,
last week, for permission to use the
Columbia & Montour tracks from
Iron Street to Market Square is ad-
ditional evidence that the construc.
tion of the road is certainty.

Horticulturists of State in Annual Meeting

The Pennsylvania State Horti-
cultural Association held its forty
sixth annual session at the Board
of Trade. Harrisburg, Tuesday and
Wednesday. Nearly two hundred
members, including many of the
most prominent horticulturists in
the state attended. Hon. w. T..
Greasy, of Catawissa, is a member
of the Association. In speaking of
an address made by him, the Har-
risburg Patriot says: "The order
of business was then dispensed with
and Hon. w. T. Greasy, who was
on the programme for an address
this afternoon, spoke on the sub
ject; Should Quantity or Quality
be Our Aim. His discussion was
one of the best of the evening and
brought forth a great deal of after
talk among the members some of
whom were in favor of quantity
while others worked alone for
quality in all their fruits"

TO AMEND BOUNTY Law.
A Bill tC be Passed That will Ooerce
County Commissioners.
And Punish Them For Refusing to Fay
Claims-They will be Prosecuted by the
State Game Commission.

By the time the legislature ad-
journs on April, 18TH all hunters in
the state will be amply assured of
procuring whatever bounty is due
them for killing certain animals.
State Game Commissioner Kalbfus
says that at least half dozen
bounty laws, to his personal knowl-
edge, are ready for presentation.
The state game commission will
not itself have any of these laws
introduced, but will thoroughly
consider the merits of each, and the
best will receive the Endorsement OF
the commission. 1t is intended to
keep the bounties as they ere now
So per wildcat, 81 per fox, so
cents each per mink or weasel. The
purpose of the new law will be TO
have the present one enforced.
Bounties are now payable by the
commissioners of each county in
the commonwealth, but it has be-
come practice for many of these
officials to refuse to pay. AS the
claimants OF bounties are for the
most part men of extremely moder.
ate means, they cannot take the
cases into court. DR.. Kalbfus says
that the law which will be passed
will be stringent in its requirement
for payments of bounties and that
any refusal to pay will be ne: by
prompt suit by the commission.
Several varieties of hawks, chief
among which are the gos-hawk
ard the pigeonhawk, now have
bounties offered for them, and it is
likely that these will be allowed to
remain. Many of the hawk tribe,
although they do some damage,
are, in the main, beneficial, because
they destroy large numbers of ver-
min. On these particular hawks
no bounty will be offered. The
new law will limit the amount of
money which can be raid per
annum by single county, to pre-
vent bounty-claiming growing into
an abuse.

ANTl-SPlTTING REGULATIONS.

The December number of Santa
ton, a monthly Journal Of hygiene
and sanitary science, contains the
following article which is as appli-
cable to Bloomsbury as if the writer
referred directly to this town:
The writer short time ago had
occasion to visit town which prid-
ed itself on up-to date health regu-
lations. One of the most recent
laUs enacted by Borough Councils
was an ordinance prohibiting split
ig on sidewalks. The printed
finance was at this particular time
.'sted on telegraph poles through
1t the borough. and had received
0de publicity through the columns
I the local newspaper. The fact
raxa such law had been enacted
was a subject for much self-con.
gr2tulation on the part of the best
tnwnspeople, and was particularly
called to attention by the local health
offsscer. In short walk OF a couple
OF squares OH the principal street of
that town, it would be perfectly
safe TO say that not one square yard
Of pavement was free fiom very
evident eXpectoration. When the
Seif-same health officers attention
was directed 10 this wholesale SAL
wary output, he remarked, "Oh
well; we don't expect to stop split
ON the street, but we just thought
that as lots of other places were pass
ing these ordinances, and we didn't
want to seem slow, so we passed
one, too. You see we've got to
have something to 'holler' about,
and this quit-spitting business seems
pretty popular just now" Uncon-
scionsly, perhaps, the health officer
quoted above gave utterance to a
fact that carries with it many un-
pleasant truths. Anticipating or
dinances have become exceedingly
popular. In no less than sixty four
towns of respectable proportions
have just such regulations been
adopted with popular acclaim dur
ing the past month. In our larger
cities they have existed for some
years, and in no single instance
have they accomplished their pur-
pose. Why? Because they are
never enforced. 1t is quite true
that, perhaps, the evil has been
somewhat lessened, that thoughtful
people have refrained from doing
what they were convinced was a
pernicious practice, but the mass of
people continue to emit their nause-
atiug dose in public places regard
less of laws, flaring notices, or
common decencv. Who is to blame?
Officers of the law are supposed to
require observance Of the law and
briug transgressors to the bar OF
Justice. Back of these minions,
however, stand the public whose
rights are supposed to be protected
and safeguarded. Activity ofpublic
officials is in exact proper ion to the
public demands, and the lack of
public outcry may be said to be
directly responsible for the failure
to enforce just such police regula-
tions as anti splitting ordinances.
1t has been conclusively shown that
public splitting is great public
danger; it has been deemed so i'm
portant as to be made the subject of
special police regulations, and the
time has surely come to regulate
not only the nuisance but also the
officials who fail to execute law
so important and necessary to pub
lie health and decency."

NEW TOWNS NAME Is KULPMoNT.
Inmate Of 0anville Asylum Suggests Name
Interesting Letter.

The committee of three selected
by Hon. NJ. II. Kulp to decide
upon the name from many sub
mtted for the new town being laid
out by him near Mt Carmel, met
last Thursday in the Kulp Office in
the Mcconnell building and chose
"Kulpmont," it being submitted
by Mrs. M. J. Eagan, of oI3 N.
Shamokin street. She will accord
ingly be awarded the $25. The
committee consisted of ex-Judge L.
S. Walters, of Mt. Carmel, Rev.
Freeman Daughters, rector of
Trinity Episcopal church, and Will
liam +. Laubenstein, of the Daily
Dispatch.
There had been oS2 names sub
mitted as suitable for the town,
many OF which we're suggestive of
peculiar characteristics in the
sender. The entire list was placed
in the hands of the committee, and
after a decision hal been reached
the sender's name was announced
to the committee by Mr.. Kulp.
Many of the letters accompany
ing the proffered names were most
interesting, the most striking Of
which was the following fron an
inmate of the Danville Asylum.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR To You.
Dear Sir:-I see in the Danville
morning NeaoS that you give every
one chance of picking a suitable
name ior your New town SO for that
reason take the advantage of the
chance and, will name the new
town CHANCETON which l think
will be very appropriate name,
considering the circumstances, as
it is only one chance out Of many
and it will be a lucky chance for
some one; in the next place there
will be chance for a poor man to
get home and perhaps if it was
not for this chance he would never
get one; then again if l happen to
be the lucky one in this chance and
by chance l chance to get hold Of
the twenty-five dollars before DR..
Meredith chances to get it the
chances are l will get out of this
place where I have been a prisoner
for Nearly six years. With the
Money 1 will get me good Loye:
and the chances are that he will
make me free man, the chances
then are that l will enjoy life better
than / ever did before. Now I will
close by saying if by chance the
| New town is named. CHANCE
TON, ! am sure l will be a very
happy man, then again the chances
are the town will be a very pros
porous town as the Hon. M. H.
Kulp is not the man to leave any
thing fail that he has undertaken.
will chance it anyway.
p. S. pleas bring the Money to
me personly when you are here at
the regular Meetings. -Shamokin
