Verdict Sustained.

The Superior Court sustaines the
conviction of Sanderson, Mathues,
Snyder and Shumaser and unless
the Supreme Court interfer, the two
who are living Snyder and Shumak-
er-must serve two years in prison
for their part i'm State Capitol graft.
Sanders and Mathues are dead, be-
yond the reach of human justice.
The surviving defendants in the
famous case now realize, as perhaps
they have not done before, the i'm
perial hand of the law. After the
5cathing condemnation of Justice
Potter, concurred in by the full
bench, 1t is hard to see wherein
there is much hope of a reversal in
the Supreme Court. That they re-
ceived fair trial, that Judge Kun
kle's rulings and the .ury's verdict
are approved is the substance of the
sustaining decision. This is gratify-
ing the more so because it shows
that the righteous Indignation of the
public in no way prejudiced the
rights of the defendants.
When Grover Clevland wrote that
"public Office is a public trust he
spoke words that are significant
in their application to Snyder aud
Shumaker. They failed in their
duty, they stand convicted of con-
spiracy to cheat and defraud the peo-
pie whom they were chosen
to serve. The Superior Court
declares that they cannot escape the
the responsibility. Whatever the
Supreme Court may do, they will
live and die, as did Sanderson and
Mathues, under the ignominious
name Of grafters, betrayers of their
trust.

Though the intensly dry weather
has kept down the multiplication of
the annoying and some regards
dangerous mosquito, the first wet
spell will surely be followed by
swarm of the winged instances. BE
prepared therefore, to prevent water
standing anywhere about the house,
for without standing water the mo-
squito cannot breed. Yet shallow
tin lid holding only IA few table,
spOonfulls of water is sufficient to
breed a swarm of mosquitoes. If
their is standing water as in drain
age wells which cannot be removed,
pour table spoonful of kerosine or
petroleum to every square yard of
area, over it. This will kill the young
mosquitoes or "wriggles'.

elimination OF Romance I'm Wedding

A very pretty romance, laden
with strong dash of human interest,
was brought to happy climax at
Canton, July Is, when the marriage
of Miss Florence NJ. Van Dyke,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. Nj. Van
Dyke, of East Canton, to Edward
Kent Mills, a graduate of the Syra-
cuse University in the class of 1909.
The event was the elimination of
a school day courtship. Additional
interest is attracted to it from the
fact that Immediately following the
wedding ceremony the couple left
for San Francisco, from where they
will sale i'm short time for the East,
where they will locate in Hal Ju,
Korea, where they will engage in
m visionary work.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev II. b. Allyn of troy, and
was witnessed by large number of
friends and relatives.

Methods of preventing pollution
of streams in the northern, central
and western parts of the state were
discussed by tannery and State Fish
Commissioner William E. Meehan,
at conference at Rldgway in the
office of the President NJ. j. Beach
of the Elk Tanning company.
Since the passage of the anti-pollu-

clear of the fish-killing refuse. The
counties effected by the tannery pol
luton are Elk, Clarion, Mexican,
Warren, Cameron, Cleariield, Potter,
Tloga, Lycomiug, Sullivan and
several others.
Officers of the Elk Tanning COM
pany explained to Commissioner
Meehan what they have been do
ing in the past four years to stop the
contamination of the streams.
This company has built plants at
Ridgeway Costello Powell, Bradford,
Titusvile, and Sheffield to reclaim
the refuse of 40 of its 4S tanneries.
They have 100 tank cars in service,
and in these the waste liquors are
hauled to these places and after tam
mic acid and other matter used in the
manufacture of leather are extracted
by process of evaporation, the resi-
due is burned. The washings frem
the fieshings are used for fertilizing
after going through the reclamation
process.
Tanneries of the big company at

Sunday School Convention.

The Annual Sullivan county Sun
day School Convention will be held
at Estella on Wednesday and Thurs
day August IS and 10, 1909. The
people of Estella have very cOrdi-
ally invited the convention to meet
with them and a pleasant and profit
able time is anticipated. 1t is especial
ly desired that each Sunday school
elect delegates to the convention Mt
the very next session of the school.
Having done this, their name and
the school which they represent
should be reported to the chairman
of the entertainment committee at
Estella at once. If the name is not
announced you may be sure that the
notice will reach the chairman if di-
rected as above. The recollection of
the undersigned is that each school
is entitled to two (2) delegates for
the first fifty members enrolled and
to one for each additional twenty (20)
The County Secretary will probably
give you the exact number by mail.
Pastors and Sunday school superir-
tendents are delegates by virtue of
their officers and do not need to be
elected or included i'm the general
appointment ofdelegates. 1t is hoped
that district chairman and other Off
GERS will use their influence to carry
out the above instructions.

the Rev. II. b. Allyn of troy, and
was witnessed by large number of
friends and relatives.
After several weeks of drought,
during which time hot sun baked
the earth and burned up vegetation,
the badly needed rain came last
week.
1t is seldom that such a prolonged
dry spell prevails as early in the
summer and the effect on lawns,
gardens and farms is injurious. In
fact vegetable growth has been
seriously affected already. Grass and
vines have been burned and baked
to a yellowish brown, small veget-
ables have begun to wither and dry
up. Potatoes and corn suffer and,
without rain, the yield would be
largely decreased. So it has been
with all the products of the soil.

Master Raymond, son Mr.. and Mrs.
M. d. Kelly, had an experience
with Dynamite and electricity which
will linger in his memory for some
time. He has at home small mo-

order to get small pleasurabfe
"shock" he crossed the wires with
"plug" which he had somewhere
picked up. The plug proved to be Il
small dynamite cartridge, and it ex-
ploded. His face, hands and breast
were badly lacerated with the cop
per sheathing and he bled profuse-
ly, but fortunately was not seriously
injured. He will look closely at the
plugs he handles hereafter. EX-

 Bristol voted dry two years ago by q majority of POT and the temperance leaders claim that they will have as large a majority this time. The "wets' are claiming victory and will mako . strenuous fight tomorrow, but are naming no figures.

 The anti prohibitionists today flooded the city with literature attacking pro- hibitlon and ridiculing the "dry" lead CTS.
