There is nothing new in the
Honesdale water situation, County

Matthews H. Heusel, held at the
Jail pending a hearing as to his SAN
ity, had a talk today with DR..
l.. b. Nielsen, Attorney w. II. Lee
and II. T. Menner, the commission
in his case. These men will try to
find out what is the matter with
Heusel, who once held to the idea
that a Wayne county manufacturer
owed him $11, 900 and who Wednes
day told Sheriff Braman the Black
Hand was after him. Two of that
society's assassins, he informed the
sheriff, entered his cell and tried to
kill him. Heusel has been acting
queerly for quite a spell. He has
been in Jail 12 days.
Fifteen men in Dyberry town

burg, proceeded to hire the 5 at
S5 a day to watch the smallpox
cases of Bodie and Murphy-cases,
by the way, that had been cured
and discharged. The men employ
ed by the two imposters assembled
for duty, supposing "Dr. Nixon" to
be State Health Commissioner Sam
uel G. Dixon of Harrisburg. They
were not notified whether they
would be wanted for night duty or
day duty, but they all say now they
would like to do night duty on Or.
Nixon" if they could catch him up
in their territory some night.
The pupils and teachers of the
Honesdale public school have ar
ranged for a course of lecture and
entertainments the coming winter.
The course consists of two perma-
nent lectures, two musical enter
tainments and the best magician on
the Lyceum platform. The enter
tainments will be held in the High
school auditorium and are of such
nature as to the instructive as
we'll as entertaining. The course
has been secured at a great expense,
and yet the performers expect to
make some money over and above
expenses. They desire very much
to make money enough to equip the
shower bathroom with shower
baths and to place some lockers in
the gymnasium. The season tickets
for the five numbers of the course
will be 81. All people solicited
1, 1
consider themselves fortunate in be-
ing able to purchase five tickets for
that price.
