CITY TICKET NAMED
By Good Government and In
dependent Parties
But Little Interest Manifested

Interest in the city campaign appears
to be at low ebb when only II persons
in the town turn out to attend two eau
cuses. The Independent party met at
the city hall and after discussing the
names of two score citizens finally placed
the following names in nomination
David Caldwell, e. J. Lutz, George
Torreson, Walter Rogers, Willard and
William Dunwoodie The balloting was
secret.
The first ballot gave Messrs. Caldwell
and Lutz majority, while Messrs. Tor
reson, Dunwoodie, Millard were a tie.
On the third ballot Mr.. Millard was de-
clared winner by vote of 6 to 4.
Fred Phillips, the present incumbent,
was nominated for city treasurer. The
chances are that Mr., Phillips will be
elected, as he was also nominated by the
other caucus,
NJ. M. Sammons acted as chairman
and John A. Noble was secretary.
The Good Government caucus was
held at the office of Justice Lusher.
Seven citizens were in attendance. JUS
tice Lusher presided and J. c. Grover
acted as clerk.
B. F. Seeley, Frank Vawter and John
Mckee were nominated as councilmen
and Fred Phillips for city treasurer. Mr..
Vawter failed to accept the nomination,
and the committee appointed Fred
Kimmal to fill the vacancy.
The character Of all the nominees is
such that there will be no controversy
oyer the election and the town is assured
of having good men at the helm.

then follows cattle trial up and down
the side of the mountain, and then runs
in an easterly direction to the old road.
1t would work hardship on the ranch
ers living above the mountain and de-
string to haul loads to Newport to have
the old road abandoned and the new
one constructed, as the new road would
be up and down grade all around the
mountain.
At the same election an attempt will
be made to have another road district
consolidated with No. IA district. so that
the work in this section can be handled
to better advantage.

There is some talk of taking off one of

of the low stage of the water and the
slack in freight business. The Spokane

Where the Captain kills the Coloneli

Where the horses they are pretty.

Where they shoot men Just for pastims

But they never hang the man:
Where you call a man Liar.

Great Writer'S No Ercepnon

All authors steal. The capacity
for stealing with art and elegance is
one of the most potent equipments
of the literary man.
Shakespeare was a magnificent
thief. He stole whatever he could
lay his hands on in a literary way
and never marred in the stealing.
He stole measure for Measure"
from a play called "Promos and
Cassandra." He stole Hamlet"
from a play by George Kyd.
"Romeo and Juliet he stole from
Italy.
Sir Walter Scott stole with sub
lime talent. He stole from antigua
rian records. He stole from Costhe.
He stole from Sheridan.
Charles Reade claimed the right
of the literary artist to set jewels,
even though the gems are the prop
erty of another.
Alexander Dumas, the author of
1.-THE Three Musketeers" and
"Monte Cristo," was one of the
most remarkable filchers in litera-
ture. In one single year his name
was attached to no fewer than so
different books. Not only did he
steal unblushingly from every author
who came handy, but he employed
numerous literary ghosts and passed
off their work as his own.
Brought to book, he had ready
reply. "The man of genius does
not steal," he said che only con-
quers."
Alexander Pope, who made thous-
ands of pounds by his poetic transla-
ton of "Homer's Iliad," was an
indifferent Greek scholar. In ad-
dition to stealing from previous
translations he employed others to
help and then claimed the whole
work as his own.
When he translated "The Odys-
sey" he kept the public in ignorance
that only IL books could be called
his and that the rest were the work
of men whom he had paid badly.
The arguments in Pope's Essay
on Man" we're furnished by Lord
Bolingbroke, and his Essay on
Criticism" was poetic version of
the conversion of his intimates.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, wit,
dramatist and politician, stole his
famous characters, Charles Surface
and Joseph Surface, in "The School
for Scandal" from Tom Jones and
Blifl in Fielding's well-known novel.
and he abducted Tabitha Bramble
and Sir Hubert Mackilligut and
transformed them into those still
more entertaining characters. Mrs.
Malaprop and Sir Lucius O'Trigger

are stealing still the present writer

A Century Of stone Coal.

Wirkesbarre today celebrates the
centennial Of anthracite. Special hon
ors will be paid to the memory OF
Judge Jesse Fell, the Wyoming valley
pioneer, who on February IL, 1908,
at the village tavern, showed how
"stone coal" could be burned in an
open CRATE
An Indian massacre of unusual
atrocity. a poem and the reputation
of being one of natures garden spots
fix the Wyoming valley in the popular
mind. 1t is otherwise entitled to fame
as a source of national wealth far
exceeding the product OF California
gold fields or African DIAMOND mines.
Twelve years after FelPs discovery
only 365 tons of hard coal We're ship
ped from the mines in year. Now
there is an annual output OF 72,000,-
600 tons, with a value at
the mines Of $166,0oO,00O. All
the gold mined in the United
States in 1906 was worth but $94,O0O,-
600. The Pennsylvania anthracite
fields cover 40 square miles and in
clude fifteen seams. The industry en-
ploys $4,000 men. How long will the
supply last at the present rate of
yield? Probably 100 years, accord
ting to conservative estimates.
