In looking over the commissioners
proceedings--if my adding machine is
correct-I see that we paid S597 for
scalps in the astquarter. Now since
Prof. Dyche declares the 'Lobo'' to
be a creature of the imagination we
must have slaughtered about 600
coyotes in the last three months.
How much one can miss thing in
his judgment, 1 would have been
willing to bet that there were not
many more than that in the county.
l don't want to cast aspersions on
anybody, but it is a little like Lin
coins rat hole, ''It will bear looking
into
In the hard times when we scratch
ed for every penny and paid bounty
of $4,000, and coyotes howled on every
hill, and scalps were brought to, US
from adjoining counties-so they say,
we managed to pile up $500 on coyotes
in year, but we are thinning them
ont. and wouldn't it be a good plan
for the scalps to be burned each
quarter in the presence of the COM
missioners, then the dozen fellows
who have been making these re-
marks could have no doubt that all
things were right Yours,

The Gold Mine Was All Right.

Eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty. 1t is also the price of several
other things worth having. \ number
of heavy stockholders last week found
il to be a quality that stood them III
good stead III protecting their interest
III a well known gold mining Company
doing business i'll this section. 1t is a
heavy concern involving millions and
naturally the investors became anxious
TO learn something of its inner work
ings
The outcome of it all was that last
week James Scarlet representing a lot
of local people went to New York TO
attend one of the Companys meet
ings He went into the meeting mere
ly as an investor armed with proxy
from the stockholders. The keen and
trained intellect of the attorney
was not idle and before that meeting
broke up there was a revelation.
The General Solicitor and certain of
the oftclals were apparently endeavor-
ing to miSlead the stockholders and
absorb the concern. There was nothing
about Mr. Scarlet to suggest the aver
age share holder-submissive and long
suffering He was too self-assertive :;
too much inclined To ask questions.
In fact it was only a short time until
he had the books all laid open. He
made a thorough investigation of af
fairs and exposed the inner workings
of the concern. Before that meeting
adjourned in consequence of the up
heaval new system was inaugurated
and the stockholders who had feared
that their money was lost, had been
made to realize that any possible dis
aster had been averted and that their
investments were as safe as they could
be. Mr.. Scarlet has been highly com
plimented by stockholders in different
parts of the country.

If plans now contemplated are carri-

Legislature will be the shortest on rec
ord. Some time next week a concur
rent resolution will be introduced in
the House providing for final adjourn
ment on February 10th.
This will make the session Just
twenty-siX days in length
From now on every effort will be
made to clear up legislation called for
by the Governor, and he is to be CON
suited on all bills. As this is the Gov
ernor Legislature the Legislators say
he shall have the glory of running it,
The Governor is anxious for short
session. He has a number of import
ant affairs TO attend to that he cannot
do with Legislature on his hands,
and the sooner final adjournment comes
the better the Governor will be suit
ed. February 10th gives time for hear
ings on all the bills, and plenty of
time for their consideration by both
branches.

Ice Crop a Failure.

The local ice dealers have about de
SPARED of being able to gather har-
vest of ice from the usual home sourc-
es. There has been no freezing wealth
er for a week or ten days past. The
ice, which was at no time thick enough
to harvest with profit, during the re
cent warm spell has wasted away con
siderably and the present outlook for
a good crop or for ice worth cutting
at all is very poor indeed.
Our local dealers are now generally
looking toward the Pocono Mountains.
which proves a ncver-failing source of
ice, i'll even the mildest of winters. A.
NJ. Peters has just received a car load
of the Pocono product. which is four
teen inches thick. Whether he will be
obliged to fill his ice houses with Po-
como ice or not is uncertain, but it is
a source that he is glad to hold in re
serve
A. L. Delcamp Will always have a
car load or so of Pocono ice on hand
in the old Salvation Army barrack,
but he will supply his trade by regular
shipments from the mountains kept up
during the year.

BLASTING CAUSES
RUNAWAY

a horse attached to J. B. Cleaver S
delivery wagon took fright at the
sound of blasting at the Bessemer blast
furnace on Saturday and managed to
separate himself from the vehicle in
record breaking time
The wagon was on Railroad street
just opposite the wide gateway lead
ing into the Structural Tubing Works,
when an unusually loud blast occurred,
which struck the beast with terror.
The driver was unsuspecting and the
horse crouching first, gave a spring
with such force and suddenness as to
rip the harness asunder and to clear
the shafts, at a single bound, after
which i'll his fright he went galloping
out Railroad street at doubtless the
best rate of speed he ever attained.
The mud on Railroad street at the
Structural Tubing Works Saturday was
something fearful to contemplate, a
black slough more the consistency of
water than mud, which like a bed of
mortar lay between the two sidewalks.
Stranded in the midst of this was the
delivery wagon with the driver still
sitting on the seat watching the re-
treating horse with the broken harness
like so many ribbons fluttering around
him and the mud flying right and left.
The whole thing occurred in a mo-
ment and it was some time before the
driver could take i'll the situation !;
then he climbed down out of the wag-
on into the mud, which was over ankle
deep. Meanwhile the horse was caught
near the clock factory.
The swingle tree of the delivery
wagon was broken and it was not un-
til after a good deal of delay and much
wading around in the mud that the
horse was rehitched and the wagon
drawn from the spot.
