Daniel Britton in Jail.

Daniel Britton, for many years a
resident of this county was arrested
last Tuesday by Sheriff Hemphill, as
sisted by Chief of Police Frank Mundy
The prisoner was taken before ESQ
Larrabee and in default of $500 bail
was committed to jail. He is charged
with firing Il pistol at Tax Collector
Potter who accompanied number of
men to Britton's barn, on Britton Hill,
to deliver to S. S. Hicks some hay sold
for taxes. They found Britton in the
barn threatening any person who at
tempted to enter. One shot was fired.
Sheriff Hemphill and Chief Mundy
pried the door open sufficiently to al
low the Sheriff to squeeze through.
They found one revolver and ham,
mer in Britton's pockets. The case
will be tried at next term of court,
when no doubt all the facts of the case
will be as plain as day.

After careful perusal of the number
of musical comedies chasing each other
as it were, for financial and artistic
glory, it is remarkable how so many
exist, let alone proving profitable to
their promoters. OF course there are
| exceptions to this rule and when we
see really meritorious work, we wish
for anoher title under which to classify
the now much abused musical comedy.
Willard Spenser, the genial author of
''Miss Bob White'', which opera for
good substantial story and remarkably
clever, delightful music carries the
palm of New Era production has an
ticipated our idea and has classified his
latest work which will be seen at EN-
porium Opera House, Feb. 2sth, as a
comedy opera and for which he has
our thanks ''NIiss Bob White'' is a
vocal gem, magnificently produced by
Messrs. Nixon & Zimmerman, now the
King-pins of musical entertainments
in this country.

A Correction.
Mr.. EDITOR:

Mr.. EDITOR:
The PRESS was in error last week,
when it said that assessor Butler re-
ported 26 more births than last year in
the West ward. Last year there was
% births and this year 26, which was a
good number, considering that some
of our residenters failed to supply
their usual quota. Had there been
16 more than last year, it would make
4s births in the West Ward alone.
Now if Mr.. Blumle's bill had passed
some of our friends would certainly be
entitled to a pension. OF course our
esteemed editor would not bea bene-
ficiary. CITIZEN.

Although Willard Sponsor has writ
ten three successful operas, and has
composed the musical scores as well,
it is his latest work, ''Miss Bob White"
which will cause his name to reverber-

'The Little Tycoon was a success; in
"Princess Bonnie" he showed pro

author composer has demonstrated a
seasoned, ripened familiarity with the
technique of composition and an ability
to dovetail his material as much more
comprehensively that he at once places
himself in the front rank of operatic
composers and at the same time COM
mands a dignified position among
librettists. 1t is therefore small

A Pennsylvania Boy With Keystone
Tools

VIM. Gentry, of Sterling Run, locat-
ed in Idaho some years ago. We
notice by the Occur de Alene paper
that he has turned his attention to
supplying that country with water.
The paper says: "Last Monday Sui
Ivan & Gentry received from the Key
stone Manufacturing company of
Beaver, Pa, one of their No. well
drillers.
1t is claimed that with this machine
there will be no question of the ability
to get water anywhere on the prairie.
In fact Messrs. Sullivan s. Gentry are
so assured of this fact that they are
willing to make all contracts for put
ting down wells contingent upon get
ting water. In other words they guar
antee to get water or no pay.
The machine is the largest size
traction drill manufactured by the
company. Itis run by fourteen horse
power engine, and is capable ofsinking
a we'll one thousand feet deep. They

inches in diameter up to twelve and
the size of the hole will depend upon
the probable depth of the well and the
kind fsoil through which it passes.
In drilling a well an iron casing will be
sunk with the shaft as the we'll pro-
crosses and will remain in the we'll
when completed.
One difficulty that has been exper-
fenced in trying to sink wells in this
vicinity has risen from the fact that
boulders were encountered that it was
impossible to drill through. 1t is pro-
posed to remedy this by using dyna-
mite or nitroglycerine to remove any
obstacle that may be encountered. In
order to do this the casing will be
drawn up few feet to be out of reach
of the explosion.
Messrs. Sullivan & Gentry have gone
to considerable expense, the driller as
it now stands having cost about three
thousand dollars, but they have no
doubt but what the benefits that the
farmers will deprive from having water
on their ranches will be so great that
| they will find no difficulty in securing
| all of the work that they can do.''

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Jan. 9TH, 1905.

Washington, Jan. 'th, l9oo.
Editor Press
For the first time probably in
the history of public charities has
the President of the United States
interested himself personally and
officially in their conduct. This
record was made by President
Roosevelt yesterday when he at
tended an important conference at
the White House with Speaker
Cannon, Senator Allison, Repre-
sentative McCleary and members
of the District Board of Charities
and discussed with them the con-
troll of the local charities. The
system of public charities in the
District of Columbia is one of the
most efficient in the country but
many of its best advisers have con-
sidered that it was weakened by
the fact that the entire control of
all the local charities is not vested
in the board of Charities under the
direction of the District Commits
toner's and that purely private
charities are subsidized by Con-
gress instead of being paid under
contract for such work as is done
by them for the District charities
proper. The quarrel is of course a
local affair but the question of the
proper administration of municipal
charities is one in which every city
is interested and the attention
given it by the President indicates
that he will be eager to establish a
precedent that will be of assistance
in the government of charitable in
stitutions and societies throughout
the county.
Visitors to the President these
days who are inclined to advise
him about appointments of them
selves or their near friends to posi-
tions or offices are apt to receive
rather scant attention. The Presi
dent by his declaration through Mr..
Cortelvou that he had no political
debts to pay has cleared himself of
a pitiless nagging system and he
evidently means to enjoy himself
to the utmost now that he is reliev-
ed of it. He has never had any pat
ience with the oleaginous states
men who whispered secrets in his
ear and his clear and carrying voice
was the terror of all who wanted
to engage him in private, corner
interviews, but now he has even
freer range for his candor and he
tells his visitors without evasion
that he selects his advisors as we'll
as his appointees. A Marshall of
Eastern Virginia called on him a
day or two ago and advised an APP
pointment. Before he had finish
ed his story the President informed
him that Office holders would not
be considered as advisers, nor
would they be allowed the distri-
button of patronage.
When it was announced that Mr..
Rockhill would be appointed min.
lister to China and his position as
Director of South American Re-
publics thereby would be vacated
there was a rush to the President
with favOrite candidates for the
place. He was very courteous but
his answer was unmistakable. He
would, he said, appoint to the
Directoship man of his own selec
ton. 1t is supposed that Chas
NJ. Pepper, a young newspaper
man, whom he has had under
scrutiny for three years, will get
the place to which attaches a
salary of $1,000 (?), and socia
position of considerable prestige.

The gentlemen responsible for the
Subway tavern believe that if all the
saloons in New York City could be
shorn of these and some other attend
ant evils, the social and moral condi-
tion of the city would be greatly i'm
proved. 1t is their hope that from the
small beginning which they have in
augurated, will come ultimately the
elimination of these attendant evils
from all the saloons of the city.
Whether or not this hope will be real
lied, we do not know. If their hope
should be realized, we must all ac-
knowledge that the result would be a
long step in the right direction. If
the experiment should fail, as perhaps
it may, those who inaugurated it will
at least have the reward of knowing
that they bravely, at tho risk of bitter
misrepresentation, did their duty, as
it was given them to see their duty,
and honestly tried to do something
practical to solve a problem that is
grievously perplexing the best and
wisest of men. Can all those who have
reviled them and uncharitably i'm
pugned their motives, say as much for
themselves?

MRS SARAH JANE Mcconnell, aged
sc years, wife of Warren Mcconnell,
died at this place last Saturday. The
funeral took place from their late
residence in Tulis block, last Tuesday
afternoon. Rev. o. S. Mezler, pastor
of M. E. Church officiated, assisted by
Rev. j. A. Sypher, of Emporium Cir

many years and great sufferer. Her
devoted husband has been faithful in
the discharge of his duties. While the
dead lady was stranger to most OF

resided, speaks louder than words.

All will agree that the evil of the
saloon is greatly aggravated by certain
attendant conditions. For instance,
there is the desire for gain on the part
of the saloon keeper. He is in his
business for what he can get out of it,
1t is to the interest of his till to en-
courage his patrons to buy as many
drinks as possible. The saloon evil
would be very much less than it actu-
ally is, were the saloon keepers de-
sire for gain to be eliminated as factor
in the situation. Another very ser
ious aggravation of the saloon evil is
the prevalent custom of treating.
Could this custom be abolished, the
number ofcases of drunk enness would
probably be reduced one half Still
another aggravation of the evil of the
saloon is the adulteration of liquors.
If only unadulterated liquors were
sold the i'll effects upon body and mind
would not be half so great as in the
case when the adulterated stuff sold
for whiskey is consumed. Also, if the
law against the sale of liquor to habit
ual drunkards and to minors honestly
observed, still another gross aggrava-
ton of the saloon evil would be re-
| moved

The Observer.

Some months have elapsed since the
opening of the subway tavern in New
York city, but it is too soon yet to ex-
pect any trustworthy report of its
practical working. The Observer has
his misgivings regarding the practical
success of the experiment, but he has
the fullest confidence in the goodness
and integrity of the motives of those
responsible for it's inception. A
short time ago friend ofthe Observer
spoke in terms of severe denunciation
of those who inaugurated or counten-
anced this experiment. IA bishop"
he said, who has anything to do with
that sort of business ought to stop
being bishop" Many others have
said words to the same effect, and in
reply to them all the Observer would
respectfully say few words.
Un less one is committed to an un-
compromising prohibition attitude, he
must recognize that the saloon is a
proper subject for regulation, and al
so that there is a legitimate place for
honest difference of opinion as TO the
best methods to be used in dealing
with the evils of the saloon. When
men ofwell known philanthropic char
acter inaugurate social experiment,
they are entitled to the charitable pre-.
sumption that they are acting from
disinterested and upright motives.
Yet the management and sponsors of
the Subway tavern have been assailed
and denounced as though they were
diabolically seeking to encourage
drunkenness and to drag down as many
lives to death as possible. Whatever
one may think of the soundness of
their judgment, does not common
honesty and fairnesss demand that we
should refrain from attributing to
them evil motives? Their professed
aim is to improve, not to lower, social
conditions, to diminish, not to increase
drunkenness. What right have we to
question the sincerity of this profes-
sion.
