TO INITIATE SOLOMON.

Columbia Especially - With Sol
omon's wisdom and an old adage
Justice c. II. Storer hopes to decide
a case now pending before him. Re-
Gently Constable Samuel Campbell
charged Il. Miller, farmer, with
larceny of seven chickens belonging
to Mrs. A. M. Sherk. At the hearing
Miller, his wife and an employee
testified that the chickens belonged
to him and Mrs. Sherk and two wit
nesses are equally positive the poul-
try was her property. With three
witnesses arraigned against three the
Justice was unable to decide the per-
picking question, but decided on a
| novel plan to aid him.
Remembering the saying "chick-
| ems come home to roost," he decided
to try the experiment. On an after
noon to be designated by the Justice
Constable Campbell will take the
chickens to point midway between
the Miller farm and the home of Mrs.
Sherk. After scattering feed on
ground he will liberate the chickens.
The Justice believes that after the
chickens have fed they will go to
their right home to roost. He is
sure the plan will work and he will
! later be able to render q proper de-
cision in the case.

their guns Tho men were on their
way home and we're near the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad station, when Julius
Derr. Pennsylvania Railroad em-
ployee at this place for the past
twenty years. was shot and fatally
injured by an Italian workman.
The Italian was drunk and had
been disturbing others at the station.
when Mr.. Derr asked him to behave
himself, Mr.. Derr then walked away,
as did also the Italian, when sudden
ly the Italian drew a revolver and
shot three times at Mr.. Derr, the
first shot striking the arm. the other
two indicting fatal wounds in the
head.
The Italian ran away, but was fol-
lowed by a crowd, the hunters with

bridge Just out of town and when
asked to surrender opened fire on his
pursuers. The pursuers then fired

FINE FOR SAVING FISH.

Lebanon Especially Mayor u. A.
Welmer, of this city, faces the pros
pect of paying $500 in fines for hav-
Ing spent $40 In illegally saving
more than 5000 fish from destruc-
ton. The Mayor was convicted of IL
legal fishing and obstructing n stream
Tor the purpose of preventing the
migration of FISH
The charges were brought by Chief
Fish Warden Crisswel, of Harris
burg, as result of the drawing off
one of the city's South Mountain res
ervoirs last month, at which time
more than fifty city officials and 9TH
ers were present. Mayor Weimer at
the hearing before Alderman Ger
berlch admitted having taken over
5000 catfish from the outlet of the
reservoir and had them hauled to
Lebanon in street sprinkler. From
here they were shipped i'm cans to
his Exmoor farm, In Schuylkill Coun-
ty, and there placed in public
streams.
He admitted ordering his police
men to the supply dam to conduct
the fishing, but defended the action
on the ground that the fish would
have been destroyed In nearby fields
and also on the ground that they
could not be placed back in the dams
as they made the water muddy and
got into tho water mains, where they
died.
Mayor Weimer's fine was only SIS
$50 for obstructing a stream and
S25 for taking fish illegally-but he
will assume responsibility for similar
fines for police Sergeant l.. ID. Brandt,
and for Policeman David Tice, who
was also fined $25. DR.. John Wal
ter, the Democratic leader of the
county, was fined $25. Chief of Po-
lice John G. Zimmerman was dis
charged for lack of evidence.
Mayor Weimer will appeal the
cases, acting for the other defendants.
He asserts that he did not obstruct
the stream as charged. having had
nothing to do with the setting of the
screen and merely took the fish after
they were caught.

WISE WORDS.


Most Of difficulties are neglected
duties.
1t takes an uplifted eye to keep a
clean heart.
When ambition weds avarice as
piration dies.
No man can be great until he can
see greatness.
Living for men is the best evidence
of loving God
He can not pray for himself who
prays only for himself.
The evil we remember is surpassed
by the good we forget.
1t takes some frost to ripen the

The weeds of prejudice grow best
In an intellectual desert.
If there is nothing heavenly here
there Is no heaven there.
Inclination always furnishes the
most convincing argument.
Watch your works and your wings

No man ever succeeded In walking

If you sell your soul you will never

You always can measure a man by

The preacher who trembles before
the great has great cause to tremble

There is no vital power in relig-

Many a man mistakes stock of
pious quotations for riches of relig-

The ideal that is only a dream and
never deed is always a detriment
to the character.
Men of business will be in tho
church when the church gives them

Many who think they are defend

Glass Telegraph Poles.

At Grossalmerode, a town near
Cassel. Germany, factory has recent
ly been established for the manufac-
ture or glass telegraph and telephone
poles.
The glass mass of which the poles
are made Is strengthened by inter
lacing and INTERVIEWING with strong
wire threads. One of the principal
advantages of these poles. it is said
would be their use in tropical coun-
tries, where wooden poles are soon
destroyed by the ravages of insects
and where climatical influences are
ruinous to wood. The imperial post
department, which has control OF the
telegraph and telephone lines in Ger
many, has ordered the use of these
