At Laquin last Friday afternoon
Minor Biles, of South Towanda, who
is employed in the factory of the
Pennsylvania Stave Co., was cut on
the arm by an axe in the hands of an
unterrifed Italian, and it required
eleven stitches to close the wound.
The blade entered the flesh near the
shoulder and made wound four
inches long.
All business was suspended at the
stave mill as soon as the assault be-
came generally known, and the
Italian took leg bail towards Ralston
probably EN- route for Williamsport,
where he has brother. The Italian
name is Sam Moretta, a dangerous
man with Il knife, who was an III
mate of the Bradford county Jail a
year ago last winter, doing time for
running "pig's ear" in the Laquin
district. He served on the stone
pile, and one day Was discovered
with key that would nearly unlock
the manacle fastening ball and chain
to his leg.
Mr.. Biles was running one of the
stave machines, and Sa n was Il help
er around the mill; every time Biles
shut down the machine, the Italian
would start il up in his absence. Mr..
Biles demonstrated with him for
this, and that led to the assault.

The unusual number of barns
struck by tightening in various parts
Of the State is notable feature of
this season. The frequency of severe
thunder storms this summer is of
coarse, the primary cause. We new
er had more of them in given
length of time than have occurred
within the last fur or five weeks.
The DanviIle News thinks there is
some reason other than the frequen-
cy of storms for the destruction of so
many barns by tightening. 1t says.
"Have not the farmers become
more neglectful in providing the de-
fense of tightening rods than they
were some years ago? This appears
to be the case and why it is so, may
he due to the fact that some of the
tightening rod men became so slip
perry in their dealings that farmer
couldn't get his barn ''rodded' with
out running the risk of having "A law
Sult on his hands before the tran
saction was closed. The cause OF
: action was often negotiable note
worded in way that made the hon

value of his farm. With such risks

DARE TO STAND FOR PROS
PERITY

We appreciate that the present time
is usual in many respects, and that
there is a decided feeling of unrest
and tendeDoy toward radicallsm,
but we must be careful not to be de-
cpived and go too far in responding
to it-Chairman James S. Sherman OF
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee on the Impen6lrg National
Campaign.
1t is unnecessary here to name the
movements which sMr. Sherman may
have in mind. 1t is unnecessary here
to say that TIE Repu bllcan party
should be for this movement because
it attacks real evil and against that
movement because iC seeks merely
to wreak vengeance.
Through the waves raised by all
the winds of unrest there is Just one
safe nourse for the Republican patty
L udb is W w IIsiib dlu Iedt nOl, anu
to DO right as becomes poiitlcal
party with an eye single to the aver
age prosperity Of the whole.
Great average prosperity has been
enjoyed py this nation for the last
eight years. This prosperity is Meth
er radical nor reacfionary in charsc-
ter. 1t is no special interest" of rich
or poor, no special privilege of any
section or ''class. " 1t is just Amer.
lean prosperity.
In this prosperity there are some
inequities and expressions. They
should be removed. But the party
which, in it's zeal to remove them,
torns aside from prosperity, ana so
brings on adversely, will be rewarded
with nothing but curses, reputation,
hatred.
Far more important than that envy
be gratified or vengeance ne taken is
it that all Americans, who Will, have
food and clothes and shelter.
Since the Union was saved and the
slave freed, the Republican party has
stood for prosperity. 1t has stood tor
prosperity and been proud OF it. Is it
now ashamed?
Can it be that great party i'll the
United States is fearful of such a
plain issue? Are we so befuddled
thar national we'll being Is no longer
esteemed?
We certainly are not Then let the
Republican party stand for prosperity
and fear not. 1t has done so victor
iuously for forty years. Why not now

At The Theatre

May II has been announced by Man
ger Ferguson of the Nenafchee Thea
treas the opening date of the summer :
engagement of the Curtis Comedy
company. The opening play, " Retri-
button" is one OF the strongest ana
latest in the company's repertoire and
this will be its fist production Oh the

vividness the relentless avenger on
the trail OF the villiln. After swearing
over her dead body that her wrongs
shall be avenged he tracks his viot-
i'm until in the last act he dicsloses
lis Identity and kills him. This
will be found one of the most thril-
ling stories ever gwen to an audi
ence and the interest is maintained
until the fall of the curtain in the
last act. All the old favorites will
be seen in the parts best suited to
them; Miss Leota Howard in the
role of the suffering wife, Mr.. Chas.
Mortimer as the husband, Harrington
Wheeler as the young lover, and A.
G. vim as the avenger.

ment will always be given. The

GRAND JURY
AT WAR ON
INSURANCE

New YORK., May 1.-THE work Of
investigating insurance matters and
especially campaign contributions by
officers Of the various lite concerns.
was begun today by the special grand
jury impaneled for the pu rposa.
Two witnesses were examined, and
the fact that District ATTORNEY Jerome
was promptly on hand and immediate
ly went TO work with the jury seems
t. indicate that the subject ia about
to be thoroughly thrashed out. Mr..
Jerome and several of his assistants
were present when the jurya was
sworn.
Justice Scott OF the criminal branch
of the supreme court in his charge
said:
Your attention will be called to a
series of alleged crimes which have CO.
casioned much dicussson in the pub
lie press and in various financial cir
Giles. The Legislature has passed laws
rems.y lng, so far as it can, all past
mistkes. Your duty is to inquire it
any crime has been committed under
the law as it stood before the leQislat-
i've action. You will have the active
and energetic assistance of the district
attorney. and you are entitled at all
times to call upon him for assistance
atnd advirce. You are not be swayed
by suspicion or clamcr in any of your
work.
When the jury adJourne for the
day it was announced that only wit
nesses who had been examined we've
Isaac +. Lloyd, third vice president
of the Mutual Life, and Edward r.
Rodgers, of the firm of Lysandler ".
Lawrence and Co., official printers for
tnat company.
The fact they We're the only wit
nesses to be called was due to late
decision by District Attorney Jerome
that he would gam time by naeing
them testify first and allowing the
other witnesses to go over until wed
nesday, to which time adjournment
was taken.
1t was sail tonight that the special
grand jury would not be called upon
to investigate the political contrlbu-
tions made by the Equitable because
those contributions had all come fl ON
what was known as the yellow dog
fund, which fund, amounting to $3.50,
900 and standing in the names of J. W.
Alexander, the president of the EquIt
able, and Thomas d. Jordan of that
company, had been made good since
the installation of Paul Morton as the
Equitable's presi lent, out of the phi
vate funds of James H. Hyde and
Messr. Alexandra nd Jordan.
District Attorney Jerome o1tlined
briefly to the jury the facts which
will be presented to them for iuvesti
CATION. During his remarks he said
that Andrew O. Fields, formerly in
charge of legislative measures for the
Mutual. is now i'll at his summer
home in Ocean Grove, N. Y but that
re will appear before the jury at a
later date.
