ees expired: F. G. Yorks, DR.. F.
w. Redeker, Frank Ikeler, DR.. J.
B. Follmer and E. B. Tustin.
These were all reelected except

wissa.
The organization effected is as
follows: "A. Z. Schoch, President;
L. N. Meyer, Vice President; J. G.
Harman, Secretary; and F. G..
Yorks, Treasurer.
Upon the recommendation OF the
Columbia County Medical Society
the hospital staff appointed for the

the most difficult and critical cases
des cribed. There was a total Of
IIS cases treated during the year,
most of which were surgical.

it is believed that arrangements
are assured that will provide for its
maintenance.

THE EXCEPTION, NOT THE RULE.

One of our local contemporaries
is misinformed when 1t says that
when Judge Elwell was President
Judge of this district he "made a
regular practice of always having
sessions at night during each term
of court"
That is putting it a little too
strong. 1t is true that he did fire.
quently hold court at night when
the business on the calandar re.
quired this to be done in order to
try all the cases, but court was not
in session every night at every
term by any means. 1t was not
his rule that there should be night
sessions, but the exception when
necessity demanded it.

NORMAL LECTURE COURSE.

The Normal School Lecture
Course starts next Saturday even
ing. Hon. Robert M. LaFo!lette
U. S. Senator from Wisconsin, will
be present and deliver one of his
famous and eloquent lectures on
government and reform. The
course is perhaps more attractive
this year than ever before. 1t con-
sists of four attractions. all being
the very best that could be secured
from four widely different fields oi
interest to all Americans.
The entire course is as follows:
Senator Robert M. LaFollet'e,
January Goth.
Maude Ballington Booth, Febru-
ary 27th.
Kellogg Haines Singing Party,
February Sth.
DR.. Edward Burton Mcdowell,
Panama" Gllustrated) March nth.
Senator LaFolette, whose lecture
is the opening nnmber, was former.
ly governor of Wisconsin, and is
one of the strongest speakers
in the country.
Prof. Clark, Of Chicago Univer
sity says: Governor LaFollette
is an orator with mission. He
comes to the lecture platform not to
entertain, but to instruct; not to
pander, not to give to the people
what they want but what they need.
His purpose is to arouse and stimu-
late the citizeus ofthis country to a
sense of their political obligations
and OF their power. Governor La
Toilette has earned the right to
speak as few others have earned it,
and his utterances have therefore an
authoritativeness that cannot exist
in the ease of the mere theorist.
Besides the subject matter, there is
in Governor LaFollette's manner
and delivery a poise and bearing, a
power aud magnetism possessed on
ly by those who are born orators.
l have no hesitation in saying that
the advent of Governor LaFollette
on the Lyceum platform is one of
the strongest additions that has
come to it for score of years.
Sale of seats began at Bidleman' S
Tuesday, where the diagram may

Holds Law Unconstitutional,

Judge Evans handed down an
important opinion in the Montour
County courts Saturday on the pc
tition OF the townships of Lime
stone, Liberty and Derry to allow
the voters to abolish the work tax.
In the opinion Judge Evans de,
clares the Act of April II, 1905,
which allows the work tax to be
abolished upon the petition of vot-
ers In the township, to be unconsti-
tutional and void tor the reason
that the act in allowing the electors
to abolish the work tax is delega-
ton of legislative authority, the
road law of 1884 setting forth that
any one who so desires could work
out their tax.
