THE Call of the Wild" a melo-
drama, was the attraction that COM
fortably filled the Lyric theatre on
Tuesday evening. The play was
we'll staged supported by a strong
company, and was full of pathos.
John Ermine was most appealing in

The Mems society of the st,
Johns German Evangelical Lutheran

The Edsall case had a sudden
ending at court on Monday when the
defendant, who was out on bail, was
called. He failed to appear and his
father, who was bondsman, stepped
up to the rail and placed down $500
cash which was the amount of the
bail bond Attempts we're made by
parties representing the defendants
to settle this case by paying for all
the goods which had been stolen but
the prosecutor determined to see the
case through and place the defendant
so he could no longer pay nightly
visits to barns and hen coops. In some
localities there are people who believe
and act the belief that chicken steal
ing is not a crime. The indictment
against Edsall still remains and he
| will be arrested on sight and the next
time bail might not be accepted.
The Democratic papers are ex
| plotting the news that Horace G
Young, we'll known in Honesdale
has renounced Republicanism ant
| Joined the Democracy. We think this
statement is slightly warped ant
| twisted. Mr.. Young has no doubt
come out for John A. Dix, the Demo
cratic candidate for governor in New
York state, and his reason, no doubt
is due to the fact that he is opposed
to the bulldozing tactics of Roose
welt in bossing the New York state
convention. Mr.. Young, like a great
many of the business men of the
country, who have had experience in
| the financial world know that the
! success of Rooseveltism in politics
will have the same effect upon bust
ness interests as a bull would have
| in a China shop. When frienzieG
/ politics has resumed its normal con
| ditions Mr.. Young, we think, will be
found in the ranks of the G. o. P.
