Back door. This is nice way to
gstart a paragraph, isn't it, but if
the editor OF this paper will allow
me the privilege, I will show you
what | mean.
Last week just ended a term OF
two weeks court Of common pleas,
which included an extra week, be-
cause there was an over production
of civil cases which had accun1u-
lated on the docket. If we have
understood the proceedings of the
court, the first week there were two
cases that went before the jury, one
of which was decided, the other one
was carried over into the second
weeks court which took two days
longer to finish, this necessltatlng
48 Jurors instead of SO. The like
I have never heard of before, two
separate and distinct sets Of jurors
lingering around the court house
at the same time. Finally the court
wound up its busy session on Fri
day, after ten days Of hard work.
But this is old rich Newberry and
who gives cent for expenses.
Mr.. Editor, see that you are ad-
vocating the next tax returns to
be made at it's full value. You want
everybody to return his property at
the rate of one hundred per cent on
the dollar. This is to say that we
need more money in the treasury.
We are guessing, and we believe
that we are guessing too low, when
we say that it cost the county 500
per day to run the court. Then II
it has cost us three thousand dol
lars to try three cases, it is very nat
ural to suppose that we are gong
to need more money before we get
this docket cleaned up.
I have been informed that there
are piles of old cases that have been
on file, carried over from one court
to another for the past twenty
wears. If this is the case, Mr.. Id
itor, I see where you are right IN
advocating the returns OF all prop
erty at it's full value, for we will
certainly need more money to run
our courts, but this is old rich New
berry, let her roll.
I am not complaining to you, Mr..
Editor, I lay no blame at your
door, I don't suppose there is any
body responsible for the delay in
the courts.
We are progressive people, we
must not look back at little things
like this. A county with over a
. million dollars on. deposit cares
nothing for expenses.
We have no dispensary money
now to supply Our school funds.

j. s. SANDERS RURT.

Jeremiah S. Sanders, of Wilkes
barre, the well-known newspaper
man and former resident of Ber-
wick, was very badly hurt in an
automobile accident on Sunday
evening.
Mr.. Sanders was enjoying ride
in an automobile along with his
sonin-law, and daughter, Dr. Nor.
gan Weller and wife. They attempt
ed to cross the tracks of the Penn
sylvania Railroad at South Wilkes
barre and failing to see the ap-
proach of freight train, which was
running backward, they were
struck, the forward car cutting the
automobile in two. That they were
not all killed is truly miraculous.
Mr.. Sanders was dragged hum
dred feet and was unconscious when
picked up, and was taken to a
hospital, where it was found his
leg was fractured below the knee.
Mr. Sanders is 72 years old and
many years ago published paper
at Berwick. He is a brother Of
Mrs. Daniel Boyce.

OLD TREE GONE

A large maple tree standing OH
the line between the property Of F.
G. Yorks and that occupied by
Geo. Il. Elwell o1 Market street,
was removed during the past week.
1t was over fifty years old and
was planted by |. w. McKelvy.
Though large and beautifully SYM
metrical in the summer when GOV.
cred with foliage, it was a ragged
looking object in winter, having
been very badly broken in the tor
nado of 1896, when all the upper
limbs were torn off, leaving little
but the trunk.
The reasons for its removal were
that 1t was necessary TO cut off all
the large roots OH the Yorks side to
make room for his porch fouuda-
tons. This, it was thought would
so weaken the tree that it might
blow over on the Elwell side which
already showed signs of decay.
The people most interested in
the tree did not have it removed
merely as matter of amusement,
but because the changed conditions
made it necessary, as everywhere
we see the old land marks going
down to make room for modern i'm
provements. The stately proper
tons and the spreading shade Of
this old giant tree will be missed,
and both the adjoining owners
would gladly have retained it, if
i'll their judgement it had been wise
to do so.
1t took four men four days to
take the tree down, and it required
six horses to pull the stump away
on sledge.

DOGS

While protesting no antipathy to
dogs in general, the Danville IN
helhgeHee, has entered upon a cam,
paign against about $50 particular
dogs in that borough, which it in
sists are escaping the legal dog tax.
The MtelHgencer asserts that only
247 Danville dogs are assessed
while the borough contains not less
than 1000 CANNES, and it insists
that the tax shall be levied ana
collected on all or none.
Perhaps we are little better off
in Bloomsbury. With an equally
large contingent of dogs, our asses
sors bave been able to find and have
assessed 3II. Now let the owners
protect them by muzzling them;
and then let those not so protected
be turned over to the Pound Mas
ter; and one great nuisance will be
abated. Dog skins will be a drug
in the market, but they are worth
nothing even with dog in them.

A LIBERAL OFFER
McRenry Distilling Company will Supply
Fire Protection 10 Benton Free

The Rohr McHenry Distilling
Co. of Benton has made very
liberal proposition to the borough
Council of that place to supply fire
protection free of cost. In their
letter of July 18th to the council
they say:
1--WE expect to begin work with
in a week upon the construction Of
a Water Plant to our Distillery to
meet the requirements of Our in
creased capacity.
The pumping station will be 10
Gated within fifty feet Of the West
Creek Bridge.
A six inch pipe line will be laid
across the hill to all elevation of
$50 feet, thus giving a working
fire pressure in the borough of over
100 pounds.
Our pump will be operated by a
10 horse power dynamo and motor,
and can be started and stopped by
the engineer at the Dstillery the
instant the fire signal is received.
The pumping station will be un-
der commission and ready for in
slant service every minute of the
day or night, including Sundays,
and will have a delivering capacity
ranging from 400 gallons to 1000
gallons per minute according to
pressure required.
We will not build a storage res
ervoir this year.
We offer to the Use of the
borough the privilege of attaching
to Our pipe line for fire protection
to the town free of charge and to
continue the free use of this privi-
lege until such time as the borough
can erect and maintain its own
pumping station"
Such public spirited citizens as
Rohr McHenry and his son John
J. are not numerous. Benton has
had several disastrous fires, and
needs fire protection. The Nc
Henrys are putting in their own
water plant and would be in posi-
ton to offer water to the borough
at a profitable price, but they are
not built that way. The borough
which they have done SO much to
build up is to have free fire pro-
lection until it can provide its own
pump. A town possessing such
citizens is fortunate indeed.
