Company Will Reorganize.

Company Will ReOrganlZe.
~ WING to the reorganization of this cor
NM poration we intend to sell all stock now
on hand at such thorough and sweeping
reductions as have not been seen in any special
sale ever before held here We are strengthen
ing our sales forces and putting the delivery
department in shape to handle the extra call
upon it with Dispatch
In order to meet the wishes and convenience
of the public we will begin now the regular
Fall Clearance of all stock on hand. BY this
method we expect to avoid, in a large measure,
the delays and other annoyances which seem to
be inseparable from the crowding of SO dense
volume of business into too short space of
time. We hope, by this arrangement, to give
the public better service than ever before in all
departments; to avoid all rush and hurry on
deliveries, and, by extending the period of the
sale, to place before patrons array of
the choicest, up-to-date merchandise such as
cannot be excelled in any city of the country.
We cordially invite the public at large to
look through IS large saleuooms of the
store, in order to get an idea of the immense
stock of high-grade goods carrying, and
the very low prices at which they being
sold during this great Reorganization Sale.

GAME PLENTIFUL IN THE STATE
Blight and Game Results Will be
Serious if Chestnut Trees Are
Destroyed, Says Secretary
Kalbfus-Other Harris
burg Notes

In the opinion of DR.. Joseph Kalb-
fus, Secretary to the Board of Game
Commissioners of Pennsylvania,
based upon personal observation and
reports he has received, game birds
wintered well in this State in spite
of the severe weather, and, together
with favorable Matching spring, the
outlook for shooting next fall is
most excellent. DR.. Kalbfus attrib-
uted this condition of affairs to
feeding by the keepers of the game
preserves and the systematic de-
struction OF wildcat, fox, weasel,
skunk and other animals that prey
upon feathered life.
DR.. Kalbfus believes that the
good work in this direction should
be carried further by the passage of
a bounty act, and he devotes consid-
cradle space in the report he made
recently to the Game Commission to
advocacy of it. Reference is also
made in the report to the spread of
the chestnut blight. 1t means if it
is not checked, says DR.. Kalbfus, a
decided reduction on the food supply
for wild life, and when the supply
falls below the demand there is sure
to be serious results.
"A Idll is taken out OF an Or
ganization that has been formed in
Harrisburg for, as their printed dec
laration states, the protection OF
sportsmen." The doctor is of the
opinion that the policies advocated
by these Harrisburg hunters are at
variance with the best interests OF
the State.
Governor Tener of Pennsylvania
and his staff of commissioners ar
rived at San Francisco "wednesday
to select a site for the Pennsylvania
building at the Panama-Pacific inter
national exposition. They were met
by members of the Pennsylvania So
ciety of California. exposition officers
and the California Grays as a
guard of honor. The United States
steamship Slocum brought them
across the bay from Oakland.
General orders, No. %, giving in
structions for the approaching di-
vision encampment of the State
Guard, have been issued at the of,
flee of the Adjutant General and
among other things they call atten-
tion TO the fact that men enlisted
within thirty days prior to the en-
| campment will not be taken to camp
| unless the soldier has served a prev
ious full enlistment.

POSTOFFICE REPORT.
Honcsdnie Did aS Much business
the Last Fiscal Year as Cities
Many Times Its Size.

The Citizen herewith presents a
most gratifying statement of the
amount of business done at the
Honesdale postoflice during the fiscal
year just closed.
The figures speak for themselves
and places 'Honesdale in a rating with
towns many times the size of our
beautiful Maple City. One thing
that is evident of prosperity is the
demand to get into larger quarters,
the present location being inadequate
to handle the rapidly increase of
business. Postmaster Allen hopes to
occupy the city hall building the
middle of August.
Deputy Postmaster c. J. Kelley
has furnished us with the following
report which will be read with much
interest by citizens of Honesdale and
vicinity:
The postal receipts for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1912. and they
amounted to $1S.6SO.O3. This is an
increase OF $646.1O over the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1911.
The number of registered letters
and parcels for the year, 296O.
The money order business is also
indicative of the progress of the
Honesdale postoffice. It shows that
during the fiscal year just ended the
number of money orders issued was
6,426.
There has also been an increase
in the number of special letters and
packages delivered from this office
during the past year.
The postal savings system was es-
tablished at this place on the 18th
OF September, 1911, and has there
fore been less than a year in opera
ton. but it is growing steadily in
public favor and in the number of de-
positors.
Altogether the Honesdale postof-
flee shows a substantial increase in
business for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1912, as compared with the
previous year, and it has been a busy
and prosperous year. There are three
regular carriers, and four rural let
ter carriers. There are five star
routes from this office. The number
of clerks in the office is four.

WANTED TO DIE;
TOOK CHLOROFORM

On Friday evening a young man
of this place attempted to end his
life by drinking chloroform in a Main
street restaurant, but the attempt
failed and he was rescued in time
by the administrations of a local ply
sician. The whole cause of the rash
act seems to be the fact that the
young lady of his choice would not
marry him. She told him so and
in a respondent mood and despairing
of his continued life without the
ideal of his dreams to share it with
him, he went to a local drug store
and purchased a quantity of the
deadly fluid. Going to the hotel he
told a person there that they could
pick him up in about an hour, but
they did not think anything of it.
Later he was noticed in a corner of
the room apparently asleep in a
chair. Someone noticed that he did
not look right and shook him. Fail
ing to get a response from the
young man a closer observation dis
closed the fact that he was in a
stupor. The physician was called
and in a short time the young man
was brought around to conscious
ness. The young man is we'll known
and was able to go to work on Sat
urday morning.
