WHOLESALE ROBBERY,
Five thousand Dollars Worth Of Merchan.
disc Carried Away.

A band of robbers have been
doing a brisk business in Conyng-
ham township recently, two stores,
the Mid Valley Store Company,
and Patterson Store Company, hav-
ing been looted of over S., 900 worth
of goods. 1t is thought that the
robbers are foreigners. and the state
police are now working in that vi
cinity trying to get some clue as to
their identity. The robbery of the
Patterson store occurred just five
days after the robbery of the Mid
Valley store. Goods of every de-
scription were taken, which gives
rise to the theory that there is
band of men doing the nelarious
work. The Patterson store is in
Northumberland county, just "a
cross the line from Columbia coun-
ty, and only a short distance from
the Mid Valley store. 1t is expect
ed that the state police, several of
whom are now in Conyngham
township, will soon make several
arrests in connection with the rob-
berries.

manded in times gone by, and the
great increase of clerical work he
has to do, it is practically impossi-
BILE for him to supervise the schools
as thoroughly as they should be
looked after. In view of this con-
dition DR.. Schaeffer raised the ques-
ton whetherit it would not be good
thing to have in the large counties
deputy supervisors to assist the
county superintendent in making
the schools more efficient. If such
a system of supervision were put
into operation, it will be done with
out placing any additional burden
upon the taxpayers, for it is pro-
posed to pay these assistants out Of
the treasury of the State as county
superintendents are now paid.
Or should the Office of county
superintendent be abolished ?
In Ohio and Massachusetts, they
have no county superintendent.
Certain towns and districts 60 to-
gether and appoint supervisors to
see that the schools are properly
conducted.

TRESPASS EVIL SERIOUS.
Pennsy Trains In 1907 Killed 500 Men Who
We're illegally on lis Tracks.

During 1907 500 men were killed
or died from injuries received while
trespassing on the lines Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. So import
ant has this matter become that the
New York and Chicago General
Managers Association have taken
it up, estimating that more than
half the 10, 900 persons killed last
year on American railroads were
trespassers.
How extensive this evil is at the
present time also will appear in the
fact Also arrests for trespassing and
illegal train riding were made on
the right of way of the Pennsyl-
vania last year. During the same
period 466 men were arrested for
larceny, which is an extreme form
of trespass, as the trespasser very
frequently develops into thief.
What the Pennsylvania suffered
from larceny in 1907 is to be seen
in the fact that the company paid
out during the year S.36,oo6 in
claims for losses traced to thefts.

WHY MILLER'S VOTE FELL SHORT

The vote for F. w. Miller for
Register and Recorder OH the Demo-
cratic side appears TO be consider.
ably less than that cast for Freeze
Quick for Prothonotary. In both
cases there was no opposition and
ordinarily the vote should have
been about the same. Mr.. Miller
is an efficient and popular officer,
and there is no reason why any
number of voters should want to
cut him at the polls. The cause of
the shortage has been found in the
fact that his name was printed at
the top of the second column of the
ballot near the head line, so that in
going over the names many voters
missed his name and failed to mark
it.
There was no defect in the ballot,
but it unfortunately happened that
in making it up Mr.. Miller's name
came in such position that it was
overlooked by many voters. This
statement is due to Mr.. Miller, as
it explains why his vote fell short.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

The votes of last Saturday are
now being computed so that it is
impossible to give the official fig
ures at present.
For county commissioners c. l..
Pohe and J. A. Hess are renomi-
mated by the Democrats, and c.
Fred Lenhart of Berwick gets the
Republican nomination, defeating
Elisha Ringrose.
w. 7. Greasy is nominated for
the legislature, over William Chris
man, on the Democratic side, while
it is a close vote between c. E.
Kreisher and Geo. Styers on the
Republican vote with chances fa-
voring the former.
John Mourey captures the DEM
ocratic nomination for county treas
urer, and ]. L. Wolverton is the
Republican nominee without oppo-
sition.
For the other Offices there was
no contest.
A warm fight Is on between the
two factions of the Republican
party, the Yetter- r-Kurtz adherents
on one side, and McKillip-Duy on
the other. Each claims control of
the organization. This will be de-
termined at the committee meeting
on Saturday.

TROUT SEASON OPENED.
Thr Trout Season Opened on Wednesday,
April 18th.

The indications are that the pres
ent season will be even more favor
able than last year, as the sign Of
high water and continued cold
weather Handicapped fishermen until
late in May, but this year the like
lihood is we will have AN early
warm spring, and together with the
fact that the streams were bank full
when freezing weather set in last
fall, insuring seasonable protec-
ton to the trout from its natural
enemies pot fishermen -skunks,
muskrats, weasels, and good
catches may be expected. Another
fact that will operate favorably to
the sportsmen is the excellent work
of the State Constabulary, who for
the past two years have been zeal
ously watching the trout streams in
the north eastern section of the
state. They have made number
of important arrests for infringe
ment of the game fish laws and the
successful prosecutions followed in
the payment of stiff fines.
The following suggestions are
worthy of the attention of fishermen.
Don't keep any trout under six
inches long. Its unlawful.
Don't catch trout other than by
hook or line; it's unlawful.
Don't catch more than so speck-
led trout in one day; its unlawful.
Don't catch and sell trout; its
unlawful.
Don't fish before or after season;
its unlawful. April IS to July 81.
And don't forget that it is un-
lawful for any person to enter on
any land that is posted, warning
all persons from trespassing there
on. Fine $40.
Black bass, not less than 7 inches

Erie and boundary waters. June
