Harry Kelly in His Honor the May
Or" Booked for Thanksgiving
Eve, at the Lyric.

Recollect a few seasons ago when
Alfred E. Aarons and William Ray
mond Sill piloted this way musical
concoction called "His Honor the
Mayor" A few of us knew that it
had had a summer run in old New
York and that Harry Kelly had been
conspicuous in the success it had
achieved. Harry Kelly was the Dea-
con Flood, one of the most amusing
transformations on the stage. To
use the language of the diamond,
His Honor had everything" includ-
ing the original English pony ballet
and got it over the footlights so fast
that the audience was tired from ap-
plauding. We all remember how His
Honor came back a half score of
times to Scranton and Wilkes-Barre
and played to some of the largest au-
diences ever seen in those cities. 1t
has been on the shelf for a couple of
seasons but this year Kelly has re-
vived it with great success and in his
original role of Deacon Flood and
supported by many favorites will be
the attraction at the Lyric Theatre
Wednesday night, Nov. 20, starting
at p. m. sharp to enable the Amity
Club dancers to enjoy both entertain
ments.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS
WILL REORGANIzE
HOneSdale Borough Board
Meets Dec. 6
AFTER THAT DATE DISTRICT
BOARD WILL BE COMPOSED OF
FIVE MEN-JUDGE SEARIIE
RETIRES.

At a meeting that has been called
for Wednesday evening, December
6, at the Library Room in the high
school building, the newly elected
school directors of the Honesdale
borough district will take the oath
of office and will later organize for
the new year as provided under the
new school code. The board from
that day will consist of five direc-
tors instead of six, as the code en-
titles the district to one director
less.
Five members of the present
board having been reelected, will
be a part of the new organization
They are Secretary Arthur M. Leine,
the well-known pharmacist; Fred c..
Schoell, the popular Main street
tonsorial artist; T. B. Clark, the
cut glass manufacturer, with a resi-
dence at north end; William J..
Ward, assistant cashier of the
Wayne County Savings Bank;
Joshua A. Brown, of Menner & Co.'S
department store. All of these
gentlemen have served on the board
for a number of years and are fami-
iliar with the school affairs of the
district. The voters of the borough
attested to their worth by re-elect-
ing each with handsome majorities.
President Searle Retires.
The only member who retires is
Hon. Alonzo T. Searle, who was re-
Gently elected President Judge of
Wayne county. Judge Searle served
twenty-one years as a school direc-
tor. Three of the members of the
new board will be Republicans, al
though during the campaign all of
the directors were endorsed by the
other parties. The school affairs of
the borough as a general thing have
been kept out of politics, so that the
partisan feature really does not
count for anything.
With the Inauguration of the new
board, number of important sub
jects relating to the schools of the
district will be taken up. The new
school code provides for some
changes affecting this district and
steps will at once be taken to con-
form to the new law. However,
the first matters to be taken up is
the selection of a president, secre-
tary and treasurer and the election,
Of solicitor. The first order of
business will be the meeting of the
old board, the settling up of the ac-
counts following which the old
board will be dissolved. The direc-
tors will then re-organize by swear
ing each other in. The borough
auditors will audit their accounts.

SCHIMMELL ARRESTED ON BRUS-
SELLS COMPLAINTS; TURNS
ROUND AND SWEARS OUT
WARRANT AGAINST PLAINTIFF

A. F. Schimmell, Hotel Wayne por-
ter, was arrested late Wednesday
night by County Detective N. B.
Spencer on a warrant sworn out by
John BRUSSELS, a farmer living near
Bear Swamp, Texas township, charg-
ing MIN with the breaking of wag-
on tongue and the disappearance of a
COW and team of horses. Schim-
nell was taken before Squire Will
liam H. Ham, who paroled him for
hearing Thursday morning at 10:30
o'clock.
The reporter arrived at the
'Squire's office a little ahead of time
Thursday morning, and these are the
circumstances leading to the issu-
ance of the warrant as Squire Ham
related them to the newspaperman.
He" (Brussells), said Squire
Ham, " came here G.e., to Homes
dale) last night with two horses and
COW tied behind. He got up to the
Wayne County House. While there
he says somebody broke the end of
the wagon tongue. Then he bought
a cow last night. So he had two
cows. Later, he discovered that
the COW he had first was gone, and
the horses were gone. He didn't
know where they had gone. He
charged Ray Schimmell with doing
all this. Chief of Police Canivan
came in and said to me it was all
right. The horses were in the barn.
The wagon tongue dropped on the
ground and broke itself, so it
wouldn't amount to much / got out
of bed three times for Brussels last
night"
Just then Schimmell came in, ac-
companied by Chas. McMullen and
Charles Elmendorf.
Well, you didn't run away" re-
marked the Squire to Mr.. Schimmell,
by way of greeting.
well, / guess not" he answered.
Now we want to make a charge
against that man for cruelty to ami
mails"
We'll dismiss the case" announc-
ed Squire Ham, when the plaintiff
failed to appear, "and Brussels will
have to pay the COSTS
Schimmell then swore out informa-
tion charging that on or about the
22d day of November, 1911, in the
borough of Honesdale, one John
BRUSSELS did maliciously cause cruel
ty to animals by tieing a COW with
short rope in such a way that the
COW was forced under the wagon to
which it was tied, which caused un-
necessary pain and cruelty to the
said COW; and also left his horses
unblanketed and unfed and unwater-
ed from 2:30 p. m. until p. M
A warrant was then made out, and
given to Detective Spencer, who is
also the agent for the Wayne County
S. P. G. A., to serve.
Present at the hearing besides
those already mentioned, were N.
Eggleston and Walter Dudley.

Don't Knock Your Town.

When one finds he is out of sym
pathy with his town, and can only
say a good word for it coupled with
an apology, he ought to get out.
Many people fall into a sort of un-
conscious habit of growing. But
it's miserable habit. Such people
make themselves a dead weight,
while of course, they imagine them
selves particularly Independent. The
individual has about all he can do
to get along under his own loads,
and he wants help and encourage
ment from those going his way, and
who are identified with him in in
terest. So with the town. 1t has
its interests to care for, and it needs
all the pluck, all the energy, all the
cooperation and helpfulness it's citi-
zens can provide and bring to bear.

Miraculous Escape
Miss Florence Brown Run Down by
Horse and Injured,

Miss Florence, daughter of Mrs.
Richard H. Brown, of Main street.
was thrown and run over by a horse
and wagon near the State bridge
Wednesday evening about O'Clock.
She escaped with slight injuries. No
bones were broken.
Miss Brown was crossing Park
street near Hotel Wayne, when {.
short distance from the bridge she
saw horse coming down Park
street, but thought she could cross
the street and reach the bridge in
safety. A team of horses was in
front of her which prevented her
from advancing. Before she could
get out of the course of the runa-
way she was struck, thrown to the
ground and trampled upon by the
hose.
DR.. F. w. Powell had just left his
home when he heard Miss Brown
give a shrek. The crash followed
He hastened to the scene of the ac-
cident, but Miss Brown had gained
her footing and started home Dr.
Powell was afterwards called.
Upon examination he found a
deep scalp wound upon the top of
her head. Miss Browns right foot
was badly bruised and cut. Her
right hama and arm were also
bruised. 1t is presumed that the
horse had stepped upon her. Miss
Brown wore gloves. Although there
was found slight aperture in the
back of the right hand, the glove was
not cut. Her body was badly bruis-
ed.
Miss Brown is rapidly improving
from her miraculous escape much to
the qualification of her many
friends.
The runaway was stopped in the
middle of the block below the State
bridge by the overturning of the
wagon. 1t is not known whose horse
it was but it is claimed to have come
from Bear Swamp. The bride bore
a letter "B'' on the eye binder.

CHANGES MADE IN
FISH PROPAGATION.
Bigger Trout For Some Streams Says
New Commissioner,

Harrisburg, Nov. 23.-N. R. Bull
Ter, recently named as commissioner
of fisheries by Governor John K.
Tener, has issued a statement in
which he outlines important changes
in the conduct of the department of
which he is the head.
I'm the distribution of trout in the
future" says Butler, ''it is proposed
to send out yearlings so far as possi-
BILE, except that in the fall, if the
streams are in the proper condition,
fish will then be shipped at a size
varying from three to five inches.
Where clubs and parties have built
ponds or otherwise made arrange
ments for taking care of the young
fish and carrying them to a mature
age, the department expects much as
sistance and will ship the fish in
the spring in the young stage, be-
cause that will relieve the depart
ment of the necessity of carrying
them in it's own waters to an advanc-
ed STAGE"
Wall-eyed pike, white fish, blue
pike, lake herring and shad, Butler
says, will be shipped out in the fry
stage, as in the past, because the
enormous numbers in which they are
hatched makes it impossible to raise
them successfully at the hatcheries.
'"The number of hatcheries in the
state is not so much of a factor as
the efficiency of the hatchery in pro-
ducing fish," is Buffers next state
ment, and he goes on to declare that
the upbuilding of stations where the
conditions are most favorable will Sc
cure better results in a more econo-
mical way than distributing the mon
ey over a number of stations, none of
which is up to the highest state of
efficiency.
Butler asks the full cooperation of
every one in making the department
of fisheries what he wishes it to be.
He lays stress upon the need for CO.
operation from the farmer.

COUNTY SEAT MAY
LACK GOVERNMENT
Conflicting Laws AS To
Municipal Officers
NEW COUNCILMEN UNCERTAIN
= WHEN TERMS WILL BEGIN
BOROUGH MAY BE WITHOUT
LEGAL GOVERNMENT FOR A
MONTH

Honesdale may be affected by the
enactment at the last session of the
legislature of laws designed to
carry into effect the provisions of
the constitutional changes authoriz-
ed at the election in 1909, which has
created a condition of chaos regard
ing the commencement of the terms
of office of municipal officers through
out the state that threatens to vex
the courts and cause no end of tur-
moil in the boroughs of the COM
monwealth next month.
The schedule adopted with the
constitutional amendments provides
that latter the year 1910, and until
the legislature shall otherwise pro-
vide all terms of city, ward, borough,
township and election division Off
GERS shall begin on the first Monday
of December in an odd numbered
year"
If the legislature had let the mat
ter rest there would now be no
doubt about when the terms of office
of the officers elected two weeks
ago would commence. But appar-
emily somebody secured the enact
ment of two laws on the subject in
the closing hours of the session,
which are in such conflict with each
other that it is now likely that the
boroughs of the state will be with
out legal government between the
first Monday of December and the
first Monday of January.
On June 8 last an act was passed
providing that the members of the
legislative departments of the NUM-
cipal governments of this common
wealth harnaftor oil ch
semble in the respective places of
meeting for the purpose of organiza-
tion at 10 o'clock in the forenoon of
the first day of the term following
the municipal election on which the
term of any member of such legis-
lative department shall begin and
that the mayor of all cities of this
Commonwealth shall be inaugural
ed and take the official oath at 12
o'clock noon of the first day of the
to-. for which they shall have been
A borough government being
municipal government, the terms of
office of borough officers elected at
the recent election should, under the
provisions of this act and the sched-
ule to the constitutional amend
ments commence on the first Mon
day of December, 1911. But ten
days after the passage of the law
quoted above, the legislature enacted
another law which provides that:
Councils of the several boroughs
of this commonwealth shall organize
on the first Monday of January,
1912, and biennially thereafter"
This leaves the officers of the sew
eral boroughs in quandary as to
when they should effect the new or
ganization and they are awaiting a
decision from the courts as to what
the legislature meant when it en-
acted the conflicting laws. OF
course the members of the legisla-
ture do not know, as few of them are
even aware that the law of June 19
was passed at all.
If the act carried with it the reg
ulation repeater, repeating all laws
and parts of laws in conflict with
the act of June 10, the courts will
probably decide that the present
borough governments shall hold over
until the first Monday of January,
1912, when the new officers will be
sworn in.
