The fire gong sounded at few
minutes after IL o'clock on Monday
and the fire apparatus was gotten
ready for the job at once, but there
was no job for them to do. There

Every time Brother Haines gives
us report from his weather prophet,
Hicks" it acts the same as red
flag to bull" on the religious editor
of the Herald and he throws his
verbal darts into the report. We

more faith in dope of this kind than

Milton w. Lowry is the unani-
nous choice for president of the
Pennsylvania League of Republican
clubs. 1t is an honor worthily be-
slowed as Mr.. Lowry has long been

their interests. This is the second
time that this league has been head
ed by resident of Scranton.
We have pedestrian club COM
posed of lot of husky young fell
lows who hoof the roads of Wayne
county weekly and get more recrea-

doing. Searle, Richards, Butler,
Heft and Frailey did this stunt last
week.

ding Day." which adorned the bill
boards around town, was the cause
of the rumor, and consequently
Manager Dittrich refused to allow
the troupe to play at the Lyric on the

The Deputy State Highway
Commissioner places the blame of
giving Dyberry township the pre-
ference in state roads over Texas
township, on the County Commits
sioners, and a letter to this effect
was written to G. A. McCarty, ESQ,
attorney for Texas township. AS
Texas township had made their ap-
plication year ahead of Dyberry it
looks as if the commissioners have
been badly advised as they have al
ways shown disposition to give every
one square deal.
"A bulletin was issued by the
Erie management recently, calling
attention to the care with which that
road has handled ire naccanpar trof
fic in the last five years. In that
period over 100000 passengers
were carried 3,75O,O0O,O0O passen-
ger miles without a single fatality.
Trains carrying these passengers
ran 50,000,OOO train miles in order
to accomplish the feat. 1t is very
doubtful If this record in regard to
safe carriage of passengers on rail-
roads has been surpassed anywhere
