Col. is going to get about all Of the Re-
publican votes in this township. We
heard one old-time, never-scratch- your
ticket Republican say the other day that
the Col. would get about clean sweep.
He says that Sam doesn't come out and
tell the people what he stands for while
the Col. does. This gentleman was a
Gnfhn man two years ago.
Lee Fenton, Oldest son of John Fen
ton, section foreman at Hazelton, died
Saturday at 4 o'clock from that dread
disease, typhoid fever. Funeral services
were held at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Won Schriltz, and
the body laid away to await the resur-
rection morn. Lee had grown from
boyhood to manhood in Hazelton and
was young man who had the respect
Of everybody. He will be greatly mis-
sed by the young people Of this locality.
The parents and relatives have the heart
felt sympathy Of host Of friends in their
sorrow.

Mrs. Matte Webb is visiting among

sas, they never get to where any other
place looks good.
A very exciting occurrence took place
on Main street in Hazelton the other
morning. "A man was actually caught in
the act Of cutting the weeds In front ol
bis place Of business. but. the marshal
being absent, he was let go with warn

such precedents established if they can
help it.
We don't object very much to home
man peddling little prohibited goods tc
our thirsty citizens, for sometimes it i.
doubtless very much needed. but for. the
past few days two men have been here
who look to be just little bit too much
for any respectable community to have
to harbor. and to think that as tough
looking mortals as they are allowed tc
even stop in the town. saying nothing o
violating the law, would seem to be abou
the limit.

SlLVERW00D, BACK FROM
TRIP ABROAD, ENTHUSIASTIC
Returned Angeleno Says World Is
Talking of Our Climate

The superior climate of Los Angeles
is known to all nations of the world,
AYERS Frank B. Sherwood, the cloth
ing merchant of this city, who, ac-
companied by his wife, recently re-
turned home from trip around the
world.
Mr.. Sherwood Joined his wife across
the Atlantic, she having preceded him
to England six months ago. While in
Egypt the travellers met a party of
Los Angeles tourists and impaired all
the local news to them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sherwood returned to
this country from the Orient on the
steamship Nippon Maru, which was
quarantined for week at Angels is
land, San Francisco. The list of pas
sengers included a number of English
army officers and they had accepted
Mr.. Silverwoods invitation to visit Los
Angeles. but, owing to the time lost
while in quarantine, they were forced
to give up the trip to this city.
Mr.. Sherwood is in receipt of a
personal letter from President Taft,
wherein the chief executive thanked
him for cravanette coat which Mr.
Sherwood had sent him. While in
Los Angeles last year the president
admired a coat worn by Mr.. Silver
wood, and a garment like it was sent
to Taft.

PROMISED MRS. PECKHAM
PAINTING TO DROP CASE.
Real Estate Brokers Business
Associate Chief Witness in
Divorce Proceedings

Clinton Johnson, former business as
sociate of George C. Peckham, was
the chief witness yesterday in the
Peckham divorce proceedings. He 1t
was, he testified, who had taken the
photograph of Mr.. Peckham and Mrs
1. S. Van Loan, which had been sub
mitted earlier as part of the evidence
of Mr.. Peckham's undue attentions to
other women. The pictures, he said,
were taken at his own suggestion,
because he "knew Mr.. Van Loan was
not of a jealous disposition" the in
ference being that Mrs. Peckham was
otherwise. This remark was immed1-
ately stricken out.
AS to how many times he had wit
messed "scenes" between Mr.. and Mrs.
Peckham he testified, "Oh, thirty or
forty times"
Some amusement was occasioned When
in cross examination he admitted he
had told Mrs. Peckham at the time the
latter had begun a suit for divorce,
that he would give her an oil painting
when she had dismissed the action.
"Did you give it to her?" asked the
attorney.
mot YETI replied Johnson.
He further stated Mrs. Peckham had
shown him the Lucy Harper dear
est" letters and that he had spoken to
Peckham about them. The latter he
said, denied ever having seen them.

GROOVE GIRDER RAILS
ORDINANCE. IS PASSED
City Council Declares in Favor Of
Better Grades on the I'M
proved Streets

At meeting Of the city council yes
will compel the street railway compa-
MES operating within the city to pro-
vide groove-girder rails of not less than
seven inches in height to be laid on all
lines hereafter established by the COM
pany on improved streets within the
corporate limits. The ordinance also
applies to replacing sections of track
more than 600 feet in length.
The ordinance does not require that
groove-girder rails be used at curves,
where guard rails are necessary, or on
gradients of more than 10 per cent. It
Is asserted that groove-girder rails
make level streets and lessen the noise
Of traffic.
Attorney William Dunn of the Hunt
ington system appeared before the city
council to protest against the adoption
of the ordinance, claiming that its
adoption at this time would mean a
loss of thousands of dollars to the cor
porations he represents, inasmuch as
they had more than 100000 worth of
Trails on hand. which could not be
disposed of save at great loss.
Statements were introduced to show
that the groove-girder rail had proved
a failure in Cincinnati, but the state
ment was met by City Attorney Hewitt
with q communication from the Ohio
metropolis In which it was stated that
the groove-girder rails were an un-
qualified success.
City Attorney Hewitt, at the after
noon session of the council, argued at
length for the adoption of the ordin-
ance, at the conclusion of which the
measure was unanimously adopted to
take effect thirty days after its sigma
ture by the mayor.

WHISTLES OF FORTY KINDS
ARRAYED BEFORE JUDGE
Many Exhibits Made in Suit Over
Patent Rights

Whiskies of every shade and color,
blended and straight, clear and opaque,
an array of some forty bottles, faced
Judge Moss in the case of Robert M.
Stewart and A. J. Knoblock against
C. M. Gray and others yesterday. 1t
is a contest to determine whether or
not the patent rights to a mechanical
device for quickly aging liquors were
transferred.
Stewart claims, first, that the device
is a great success, and that 1t was
demonstrated to be such before the de-
PENDANTS. Further, he sets forth an
option granted the defendants whereby
they could buy his rights for $500.
This option, he claims, was taken ad-
vantage of by Gray after a demon
stration, and he now asks the $500.
This is the second trial Of the case,
a jury in Judge BordwelPs court hav-
ing been unable to agree.
