REUNION OF ROBINSONS.
Enjoys Fine Dinner and Company of
Man From Bryan's State.

Fifty-siX people attended the Rob-
inson family reunion at the home
of Mrs Martin X. Kimble at the fair
grounds Tuesday. The meeting last
ed all day and there were no dull
moments. A business session was
not necessary, for the old officers
hold over from last year and there
was no special business to be trans
acted.
The dinner was served at noon and
it was a big and bountiful one. The
John Robinson of Lebanon and Dy-
berry, is S5 years old and reason
ably well and active for man so
far advanced in life. John Thomp-
son, the Arlington, Neb., jeweler,
who came from his western home to
combine business and pleasure on a
trip East, was delighted with the
hospitality of the Robinson reunion.
Mr.. Thompson is a jeweler in Ar
lington. He will visit factories in
the East before going back to Ne
braska.
81 didn't know before how many
relatives i had in Pennsylvania" f"
said Mr.. Thompson. He will visit
a number of them in Wayne county
before going back to Nebraska.
Mr.. Thompson was asked by some
men he met to give his opinion OF
the political outlook in the West. He
said Nebraska and the West regard
Col. Bryan as a man of much ability
but that people who believe he can
get another nomination In 1912 are
few and far between.
'Mr. Bryan" said Mr.. Thompson
'is politically dead. That's the way
we feel about it out in Nebraska"

MILK MAY Be-
CHIEF CAUSE
State inspectors Take Day Off
From Water Sampling and Go
To Beech Grove To Examine
Diaries and Pastures.

The water inspectors of the state
board of health that were sent here
by Chief Engineer Snow to investi-
gate the cause of typhoid in Homes
dale are Ralph Irwin and NJ. E.
Shaugnessy. They left Scranton
Tuesday and Immediately upon get
ting here boarded an automobile
with Dr. II. B. Ely, county health
officer, and Supt. Silas f. McMullen
of the waterworks for a trip to the
watershed.
They spent two days taking sam
pies of water, which will be analyzed
by the state chemists. The report
will be filed and published within a
few days, it is expected.
When the newspapermen got to
Supt. McMullen this morning they
found him a little sore over a report
in one of Tuesdays papers to the eff
feet that "Mr. McMullen says he is
now ready to give the state board of
health information" He said the
writer never interviewed him, either
face to face or over the telephone.
THAT would be something for the
board of directors of this company to
decide" he said. 1T isn't the ques-
tion whether or not I'm ready now,
or ready any time" he remarked.
Mr.. McMullen said the inspection
of the watersheds was extremely
thorough and careful.
so far as / know" he said, mo
trace of Infectious disease was
found"
The superintendent added that the
company is to make very radical and
extensive improvements in the plant,
| which, he said, was in poor shape
when he took it. After the water re-
! port the directors will meet to plan
| these Improvements. which have
| been contemplated for some time and
would have been made anyway, ty-
/ phoid or no typhoid, inspection or no
! inspection.
1--WE have over 5000 consumers
and there are only eight typhoid
cases-a small percentage" said he.
Doesn't it look as though the cause
of this sickness might be elsewhere
than in the water?"
The finger of suspicion, which for
merly pointed toward water, now
evidently points in the direction OF
milk. This afternoon the two in
spectors and n. B. Spencer are at
and pastures. 1t is understood that
some of the afflicted families have
the same milkman.

BY all means let us have a Great
er Honesdale. Our borough pos
sesses the same boundaries that it
did when founded some eighty
years ago. The population of the
town, within its corporate limits, is
5000, while with what really con-
stitutes Honesdale there are at least
5000 people. The outlying districts
are all built up solidly to the bor-
ough line, so that an outsider is un-
able to distinguish where Honesdale
ends and Texas township, which sur
rounds our town, begins. A small
number of the residents of Texas
have applied to court and had their
properties annexed to our borough
for school purposes, but they are de-
prived of the benefit of our finely
equipped and vigilant fire depart
ment, high school, electric lights,
etc, which give the population at
Honesdale after consulting maps,
ETC., which gives the population at
5000. when in reality 1t is double
that. Honesdale has more manu-
featuring plants, and greater in va
riety, than any other town of its
size in the state. Give us Great.

surer of winning game than he is
of next Sundays, which means su-
periority for one or the other.

TRIES SUICIDE
BYLAUDANUM
HawIey Girl, Discouraged Over
Affair with HonesdaIe Man,
Takes Drug and Is Saved BY
Timely Arrival Of Doctor.

HAWLEY. Aug. 25.-Saturday
morning Dora Weiss, young woman
about 19 years old, failed to come to
her breakfast. Her sister on calling
her the second time failed to awaken
her, but discovered an empty bottle
labelled laudanum. In the bottle
were five or six drops, enough to tell
it was laudanum.
DR.. NJ. H. Ely was called, but he
failed to awaken the girl. He gave
her antidotes hyperdermically and re-
peated them in half an hour. At
the end of an hour he was able to
awaken her.
Miss Weiss said she took the laud-
anum because she wanted to die.
DR.. Ely learned by young woman
friend of his patient that she had
had a dispute with a young man in
Honesdale. She said that she took
the laudanum early Saturday morn
ing.
All she would say was that she
wanted to die. She was on the street
Monday morning as though nothing
llu huppShSu'
DIR. Ely went to the store where
she bought the laudanum. The clerk
said he sold it to her, not knowing
he had no right to do so.
Miss Weiss is a frequent visitor
to Honesdale and has a number OF
friends here. 1t was said in Homes
dale today that the young fellow
back of the trouble no longer lives
here. He is understood to be a
stripping of not much more than 20,
fairly goodlooking, very well dress
ed, and something of a favorite with
the fair sex. He was seen around
one of the hotels in town a good
deal and for several weeks before
leaving town was not known to dc
any work, though he was generally
we'll supplied with money.

LONGEST ERIE TRAIN EVER.
Runs Between Susquehanna and Port


Jervis-Has 1877 Cars in All.
Said Tuesdays Port Jervis Ga
Zette:
Probably the largest train that
ever ran over the Delaware or New
York division of the Erie started
from Susquehanna, Pa, at 9.34
o'clock this morning for Port Jervis,
where, 1t is expected, it will arrive
this evening.
The monster train consists of Erie
engine 1884 and 1877 cars, and it
is in charge of Conductor Edward
McAndrew and Engineer Scales.
1t is thought to be an experiment
to see how many cars can be pulled
by one of these large engines and the
train will no doubt be eagerly watch
ed by the railroad officials. If this
number of cars can be pulled by
one engine over the grades 1t will
mean a big saving to the railroad
company.
1t is doubted, though, If there are
many switches along the line which
can accommodate this train.

Carbondale CoCksure She Can Win
Game.

CarbOnuale COCkSufe She Can Win
Game.
Here is the way they look at it in
Carbondale, according to the Lead
er:
One more game, which will be
played on the Lake Lodore grounds
in the very near future between
Nick's crowd of balltossers and that
Honesdale aggregation, will decide
whether we are still superior to
Honesdale in the world of baseball.
1t is said that Nick will have first
class lineup and the local boys are
very optimistic of winning the final
game of the series. The Lake Lo-
dore park is one of the best ball
grounds hereabouts and the bleach
ers will accommodate a large crowd
of fans. 1t is expected that a dele
cation from this city will accompany
the team to the lake.
