MAYOR HOLDS
Up SALARIES

. C. r. Case. former president OF
the State Federation Of Labor and
representative of that organization
at Olympia during the last meeting
of the legislature, is the central fig
ure with Mayor Moore In a red hot
political scrap in Seattle.
Recently Mayor Moore appointed
Case superintendent of streets. sum-
marily removing A. l.. Walters, who
had filled the position for some
time.
The city council, which is republic
can and VIGOROUSLY in sympathy
with the Seattle Electric Co. and
like corporations, refused to allow
Cases salary. 1t was admitted that
the mayor had right to make the
appointment and that Case had all
the authority that went with the
office, but the council claimed it
could refuse to pay any salary, and
thus freeze Case out.
AS a result of the action of the
council Mayor Moore has retaliated
by refusing to sign the ordinance
pfoNlulug loT pay iHeut VI odiai leS
of all city employees.
The ordinance cannot be passed
over the veto of the mayor in time
to meet the accounts on the 10th of
the next month.
Unless the mayor changes his
mind, and so far it is not on record
that he has changed his mind once
since he took Office, not an employe
will get any money on pay day
The total amounts to a very large
sum, the actual salary account run
ming about 100000.
Mayor Moore will, of course, hold
up his own pay by veto of the
bill.
In the meantime former Street
Superintendent Walters has begun
suit to COMPEL the city to pay him
salary from Jan. | to date.

February Court A Short One.

The February term Of court was
Il very short one. Court convened
ON Monday at 2p. m. and adjourn
ed the same afternoon until the
Nav term. There was but one
criminal case, that of George Vau
Buskirk for the murder of Elk
Smell, to be tried, and was to hav'
started Monday, but was continued
partly because the defense had
failed to subpoenea all their wit
nesses and partly because Judge
Terry was unable to hear the trial
on account of the serious illness of
his daughter. All the jurors and
many of the Witnesses were on
hand and were anxious to have the
trial begin. In the absence of
Judge Terry, Judge Tanning of
Towanda presided, and a motion
for the continuance of the trial
until the May term of court was
made and carried, and the accused
man will have three months more
of confinement before his trial.

Hunters Up in Arms 10 Kill The Csc

l4Scomug county sportsman are
up in arms against the bill now be.
fore the legislature providing for It
tax of 81 on every man or boy who
goes hunting. This bill has the in
dorsement of Secretary KalhfuS, Of
the state game commission, who be-
order that the money receivcd~from
the tax might be turned over to the
satisfactorily protect the game Of
the state.
A petition signed by about twelve
thousand gunners in this county has
been prepared for submission to the
Legislature, protesting against the
passage of the gun tax. The hunter.
in other counties are taking simular
action, and the prospects are that
the legislature will be overwhelmed
with petitions declaring that the
hardship on the owners of guns. If
the Legislature is inclined to consider
public sentiment it will not pass
this measure.
Outside of the game commission
we do not know of anybody who
wants the gun tax bill passed, unless
it shauld be the gentleman who are
members of hunting clubs which
have private preserves and some of
whom may be desirous of keeping
other hunters out of the woods. If
such Il measure should become a law
its provisions would impose hard
ship upon the poor man who might
desire to go hunting on one day in
the year and at no other time. The
tax would not be felt by the pot

Roland Hunsinger a court guest

that George II. Iilley happened
along and found his PROSTATE body

A DAY OF DAMAGING FIRES.
Thursday Was Full OF Hardship .,r Sew
eaal Lap0rte Families. Two Houses
and Two larns Destroyed.

and Two Darns Destroyed.
Thursday of this week will be re-
membered as a day of misfortune to
a number of people living i'm the vi
cinity Of Iaporte, as within Whe
course of few hours four families
were made homeless by fire.
About 10 O'Clock Thursday morn
ing the large frame dwelling house
at Lake Mokoma dan, known as
the "old boarding house, which
was occupied by the families of A.
l.. Lovelace, George Stackhouse and
William Sykes, was found to be on
fire near the center Of the building
When it became known that the
house WAS on fire, some one rushed
! through the different apartments to
shout Il warning to the occupants
and in so doing thoughtlessly left
the doors remain open and the strong
wind that was blowing at the time
drove the flames through the entire
lower story of the building which
made impossible any effort to save
the household goods of Mr.. Sykes
and Mr.. StacShouse. The members
of these two families were compelled
to leave their home with nothing
more than their clothing which they
were wearing. The family of Mr..
Lovelace was more fortunate as they
were able to remove part of their
furniture before the building col
lapsed.
None of the parties had any in
surance, and much sympathy is felt
for them in their misfortune.
The above mentioned fire had not
ceased smoking when the children
going home from school at noon saw
the smoke issuing from the home Of
}. NJ. Rosencrants, on his farm about
two miles from Laporte, but which
being situated on an opposite hill is
plainly seen from town In a few
minutes the house was burn ng
fiercely, and collapsed in about twen-
ty minutes when ia. Il; TITS ti.ns. it
was seen that the large barn had
caught fire from sparks from the
burning house, and in few minutes
more this also was a mass of flames
Mr.. Henry karge who was driv-
ing toward the Rosencrants home
saw that the house was on fire and
FASTENED to the scene but found no
one at home except Mrs. w. j. Lord,
Mr.. Rosencrants' daughter who was
not aware that the whole roof of the
house was ablaze. 1t was already
then too late to save any household
goods from upstairs. With the help
of Mr.. karge, Mrs. Lord succeeded
in removing part of the downstair
furniture and most of the family's
clothing. BY the time the barn was
found to be on fire Mr.. Rosencrants'
son John, who with his mother and
father had been to Lalorte, arrived
on the scene and helped to save the
live stock from the burning build
ing. All the hay and grain We're
t.nusumal
This is indeed hard blow to Mr.
Rosencrapts, who by years of hard
labor had made himself Il comfort
able home of which he has been de-
prive6 by this unfortunate accurance.
There was no insurance on either
Of the buildings, which makes loss
a complete one.

In an article in behalf Of the horse
the Reading Times and Dispatch
says that the deep snow and cold
weather produce conditions particu-
larly perllous to the horse. Now is
the time for all who have to do with
horses to be most thoughtful OF
them. The animals are likely to be
come overheated, toiling through
deep snow with heavy loads or speed
ing with light sleighs, and drivers
unaccustomed to the zero weather
that so seldom visits this latitude too
often allow them to stand for little
while unblanketed. Another cruelty
to horse is to put IA bit in his mouth
on Il very cold morning, rs the cold
iron will take the skin off the ton
que. The bit should always be warm
ed or at least held in fresh water fol
a short time, when the mercury goes
below 20 degrees, before placing il
in the animals mouth.
