ABOUT THE
APRIL PRIMARY

A very general Misunderstanding ex-
lists as to the qualifications of voters
at the spring primary to be held on
April 11th. Many people think that
Democrat can vote for some Democrats
and some Republicans. at that cleo
tion, and many also think that Re
publican can vote for any persons for
nomination on the Democratic ticket
and vice versa. The fact that the
primary election Is held under the law
by the regular election board has led
to this conclusion.
The uniform primaries law, approx
ed February II. 1906. provides that the
county commissioners shall prepare
aud furnish to the election officers for
use at the primaries, as many official
ballots of each party as are equal to
double the total number of votes cast
for any candidate of said party with
in the election district at the last gen.
eral election and the names of all the
candidates for nomination by the
Democratic party will be printed on
one ballot and the names of all the
candidates for nomination by the Re-
pubiclan party will be printed on an
other ballot. When voter enters the
polls he will be required to announce
which ballot he desires to have and
the election officers will furnish him
with ballot of the party for which he
asks. 1t will thus be seen that no vot-
er can vote for some Republican and
some Democrats because he can only
receive one ballot.

THE MONUMENT
WILL Be BUILT

HniIe It is true that affairs relating
W V..e soldiers monument are some
what unsettled at present, yet there
Gems 10 ho 10 doubt that the memor-
ial will be erected during the coming
summer.
The failure of the grand jury to
recommend the expenditure of more
than five thousand dollars for the mon
ument was great disappointment to
the committee and makes Is clear that
If the monument is to be erected the
design and specifications will have to
be much moaited.
Hon. James Foster chairman of the
soldiers monument committee is
authority for the statement that the
monument will be built during the
coming year. Instead of some thirteen
thousand dollars, which was the cost
OF the memorial contemplated, unless
a handsome contribution comes from
some source, barely nine Thousand
dollars will be available. This amount
however, Mr.. Foster states will be
sufficient to build a monument. al
though it is a matter of very great re-
gret that the stately design created
especially for the site in the park may
have to be abandoned and something
altogether different adopted.

HAND SEVERED
BY CIRCULAR saw

A bad accident occurred ON the farm
of George Barnhart, near Rushtown,
Monday afternoon, in which a hard
working and industrious man was
manned for life.
The injured man was g. r. Barn
hart, brother of George Barnhart. who
for many years of his life resided in
the West, his home more recently be-
ing in Omaha. Neb. About the holi-
days he came Eass on a visit and since
that time has spent much of the time
with his brother near Rushtown.
Monday George Barnhart was en-
gagged in saving wood, using cir
cular saw. operated by gasoline en-
gine. The brother from the West vol
unteered to assist at the work and took
his position along side the saw to
throw away the wood as fast as it was
cut.
About O'Clock a couple of pieces of
edging fell down between the saw aud
the frame in which it was set. E.
r. Barnhart with his left hand reach
ed down to remove the edgings, which
seemed to be in the way. AS he with
drew his hand holding the sticks he
came too near the saw and quick as
lightning the rapidly revolving teeth
severed his hand, cutting diagonally
across the palm and leaving only a
stump remaining.
The man was driven to town as
rapidly as possible. At the Office of
Dr. @. Shultz he received treatment,
after which he was removed to the
Joseph Ratti hospital.
The injured man is unmarried and
is 53 years of age.

CLOAK MAN
AT CATAWISSA

Catawissa, that usually quiet village
up the river, is in the throes of cloak
man scare just at the present time.
The man is said to wear big black
ulster, and it seems to be his delight
to scare women and children.
Several days ago well-known
woman was walking down Main street
at about o'clock in the evening, when
suddenly a big man in great black
coat stepped out from behind tree
and approached her. She was frighten-
ed so badly that she started to run,
ana while making efforts to escape
him lost her false teeth. He followed
her for few steps, and then turned
and ran away.
On another occasion he followed
TWO little boys, and scared them so
badly that they went into Mysteries.
The matter has been called to the
attention of the town council, and an
effort will be made to locate, and if
possible, arrest the man.

STREET SWEEPING
A PROBLEM

A force of men were put to work by
the borough scraping Mill street, Sat
urday morning.
Since North Mill street has bee,,
added to the paved territory the bor-
ough finds itself confronted with a
much weightier proposition when it
comes to street sweeping 1t is ques-
tion whether the primitive method
employed last year will not have to be
improved upon the coming summer.
Certain it is that one man with shovel
and hand cart will not be able to keep
the long stretch of paving clean.
Whether another man and cart should
be installed and the duplicate outfit
kept at work ON North Mill street OIL
a modern sweeper drawn by horses
should be adopted to keep the entire
stretch of paving clean is question
that is already being discussed among
the councilmen. There is little doubt
that since North Mill street has been
paved and the length of paving is
doubled that council will decide to be
progressive in the matter and adopt
some modern method of cleaning.
Neighboring towns employ sweepers
drawn by either one or two horses.
Moreover, the cleaning is mostly done
in the night time so as to spare people
on the street annoyance from the dust.
The problem is one that will have
to be solved forthwith, for from the
present moment dirt will begin to ac-
cumulate on the paving and to permit
it to remain beyond single day would
be to contribute to an eyesore and a
nuisance. Street sweeping will be the
order from now ON.
