CLASS PLAY DESERVES PRAISE
" The Sophomore Produced by the
Senior Glass of the Local High
School Last Thursday Night
Was Well Received.

The members of the graduating
class of the Honesdale High school
presented to an enthusiastic audi
ence their class play entitled The
Sophomore" at the High school au-
ditorium on Thursday evening. The
performance was very creditable
one and is deserving of high praise
by all who attended. The characters
were: Robert Stewart, the Sopho-
more star full-back on the football
team; Carl Curtis, Bud" Kennedy,
captain of the football team; Warren
Smith, "Kink" Banister, Vincent
Carroll.
Sophomore "'Reddy" Sims, Will
liam Dein, Buster" Brown, Manager
of the team, Deroy w. Kreitner, Liv-
ingstone, head coach, Raymond San
dercock, Prof Alden, NJ. A, b. b.,
Professor of Physics, Thomas Kilroe.
Hope Alden, his daughter, Miss
Purdy.
Relatives of Alden's: Aunt Mary"
Scott, Mary Rippel; Cousin Ma
tilda," Dwiggins, Mary Bracey; Vio-
let, servant of Alden's house, Miss
Agnes Murray.
The first act began with scene
in the Physics class room of Lake
Vile University where Stewart, the
star football player fails in his lesson
and incidentally falls in love with
the professors daughter, Hope AL
den.
Act two was a scene in Prof. AL
den's house and Stewards friends
purloin the examinations for him,
but he declines to use them, but is
misjudged by Hope Alden, who
thinks he did use them and conse-
quently is very angry with him.
In act three, the last act of the
play, the game is is progress. This
act opens in the office of the Athletic
/ association overlooking the field
where the game is in progress. On
account of Stewards failure to pass
in his exams he is not allowed to
/ play and the University team is being
| defeated. The climax comes, how
ever, when the professor is found and
allows Stewart to go in and win the
game in the last half.
The last week of graduation is a
strenuous one for the class and their
creditable performance reflects much
credit upon them, for their constant
rehearsals to bring themselves to de-
gree OF perfection, taking the piece
partially out of the class of an ANA,
teur production.

Safe and Sane Fourth.
(Scranton TRUTH

Honesdale, l notice, is among the
cities agitating a safe and sane
Fourth of July. From what has
been printed about it in the Wayne
county papers l gather that consid-
cradle liberty has always been allow
ed in that town in celebrating
Americas natal day. The Citizen
remarks: I'VE are glad to learn that
the majority of the people of this
fair and beautiful Maple City are of
the same opinion and most earnestly
desire that we continue to advocate
a safe and sane Fourth. Would it
not be better, and wiser, too, for
that matter, to spend the anniver-
sary of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence with your family alongside
a woodland brook, where nature
speaks forth in all it's glory, than to
have your son become injured by
the explosion of a dynamite fire
cracker or get powder burns from a
cannon" This puts the case nicely
and poetically, too, and will no
doubt do much to help the cause of
reform along in Honesdale.

THE COUNTY COMMITTEE.

The Republican county committee
which met on Saturday, June l, Tor
organization was entirely in control
of the Progressive wing OF the party.
This is quite as it should be since
that wing of the party so strongly
prevailed at the recent primary cleo
tion. A strong executive committee
was named, consisting largely OF
experienced politicians and repre-
sentative Republicans. Real ana
vigorous support by this committee
of the Republican candidates this
fall should produce most satisfactory
results. The committee did well to
retain NJ. E. Simons as chairman
and George P. Ross as secretary
Both are experienced and falthtul
party workers and will undoubtedly
do better service in this important
presidential year than would men
new to these positions. The reso-
lutions adopted by the committee
were in line with the Progressive
platform adopted at the Harrisburg
convention, that platform being en-
dorsed as a whole. This was 10 nave
been expected, and cannot justly De
made a cause of complaint, even on
the part of those Republicans who
do not fully agree with it. 1t might
have been wiser, looking toward par
ty harmony and large and united
action at the polls, to have modified
to some extent the committees dec
larations, but in the flush of victory
and new power, great restraint is not
to be expected
The only really jarring note in the
entire proceedings is found in the
resolution covering the endorsement
of the State Conventions plan for
quizzing legislative candidates, and
the one containing an implied threat
that if the party candidates do not
swallow the whole Progressive pro-
gram, recall of decisions included,
they will be marked for defeat at the
hands of their own party organlza-
ton. AS has already been noted in
The Citizen, the Committee of Fiji
teen appointed at the state conyen-
ton has decided to abandon the
plan of quizzing the legislative can
didates, so far as the question of the
recall of judicial decisions is con-
cerned, and will probably refrain
from quizzing them on other dis
puted questions which are likely to
arouse controversy and cost votes.
1t is unfortunate that the county
committee should not have been
equally wise and sought to minimize
rather than emphasize party differ
ences.
Nor is it particularly agreeable to
all Republicans in the county to
read, in the resolutions adopted,
that the county committee Is to sup
port Hon. II. Clark Jackson, the
party's candidate for representative
in the legislature, and Hon. w. d.

Catarrh of Stomach
Indigestion and Stomach Agony
Quickly Ended.

If you went to thirty doctors and
paid each his fee for a prescription
for Indigestion or stomach misery it
is ten chances to one you wouldn't
get such a good prescription as the
one from which MI-O-NA stomach
tablets are made.
How can such thing be? you
naturally ask.
Simply because the man who wrote
the prescription from which MONA
tablets are made knows more about
stomach diseases than SO per cent. of
all the physicians in America, and he
gets paid for knowing.
And when you can get large box
of tablets made from this doctors
prescription for only so cents, are
you going to continue to suffer?

NOTES.

very small, too small in fact to pay
the actual expenses of the game. 1t
costs money to keep base ball team
here and it also costs money to get
the very best teams to come here to
give exhibition games. If more of
the people of Honesdale who contend
that they want the base ball games
to continue would realize this, base
ball would be a more sure PROPOSE
tion for Honesdale. Without the
support of the public the boys who
give their entire time to the game,
cannot continue to do so.

The Honesdale team journeyed to
White Mills on Sunday where they
were defeated by the team of that
place by a score of II to Z. John
Tuman, who was recently given a
try-out with Scranton, and later sent
to Racine, Wis, played in the game
for White Mills. The home team had
to shift their lineup on account of
the absence of Weaver. Mangan
played first, Tarkett second, w. Polt
short, and j. Polt third. Frank
Schilling pitched for Honesdale, and
John Smith for the "Millers." White
Mills has a good team of seasoned
veterans.
Honesdale will lineup against For

FAVORS REMOVAL OF
CAPITAL TO WINNEMUCCA.

Carson City holds the unique position
of being the only city in the state which
will not have Fourth of July celebra-
tion. Carson City believes in letting
the other people of the state have a
good time once in while-Carson News.
Carson City has been the pampered
ward of the state so long that she has
lost all individual and community enter
prise. She would be patriotic and cele-
brate If the State treasury could be
drawn upon for the necessary expenses.
1t is the total lack of enterprise on the
part of the residents of Carson City
that has caused many people especially
in eastern Nevada, to favor the remov-
al of the capital to Winnemucca, whose
citizens believe that the Lord helps
those who help themselves. Ely Rec

FALLON BALL TEAM
Wins AND LOSES.

The Fallon baseball team played with
Yerington team on the Fourth, con-
test that went to our opponents by a
score Of to /. The Yerington battery
was imported as were other players on
the team and to the fact alone that our
lads could not swat the offerings of the
Reno pitcher on this occasion was due
the loss of the game. An excellent
fielding game was played by both sides
and something like $500 changed hands
on the results
On the following day, the Fallon boys
crossed over to Mason, few miles dis
tant from Yerington, where they de-
feated the crack nine from Thompson
by score of TO 2. This game also
was the cause of much betting, some
thing like $1,000 changing hands az a
result of Fallon's victory. Earl johnson
caught and George Johnson pitched in
both games and every Fallon player
used his dome very effectively. The
Fallon lads made decidedly good inn
preston on the Lyon county folks and
will be in demand for future games.

UNDEDlCATED STREET
CAUSE OF TROUBLE.

c. w. Verplsnk is in a dilemni; by
the same token Councilman John Oats
is exceedingly wroth. The story Is a
long one, but in epitome it may be said
that some years ago when the town.
ship plats for Fallon were filed Yer
plank would not give any ground for
a street from the Thelen residence near
the high school to the George Likes
property, but sold lots running to
his north property line. In the mean
time, Mr.. Oats, when he made his
lot sales to the north was compelled to
allow for the entire street necessary,
but with an eye to the future, he re-
served title to the street which was u.s.
ed alike by those who bought his lots
and those who purchased from Yer
plank.
Lately, Mr.. Verplank and others ad-
vanced the necessary funds for the
building of 350-foot sewer line through
the undedicated street, with the result
that Mr.. Oats is now the undivided
owner of the line and has already con-
fiscated the same. Within a few days
or as soo1 as hay harvest is over he
will have his crew go down and take up
the Objectionable sewer line and use the
pipe for drainage purposes on his ranch.

FERNLEY-LASSEN
RAILROAD WORK.

Practically the whole route of the
survey for the Fernley and Lassen rail-
road is now under construction. Con-
tractors are busy over the whole dis
tance of about 100 miles, throwing up
grades or making cuts and fills. There
are, it is estimated, about 5000 men at
work, and probably, 5000 horses and
mules, besides the great amount Of ma
chinery that is in use.
Sub-contractor Moxley has 800 head
of stock working and has an excavator
digging through the hill at Susanville,
back Of the F. A. Cain residence on
South Weatherlow street. The cut will
be about thirty deep and the material
excavated is being used to make q fill
east of the cut.
Work is also in progress at the Sif.
ford place, large camp being established
there during the past few days. Work
is being rushed there, that it will take
three months to complete, and by that
time it is thought most of the grading
along the route will have been done.
Contractors working there state that
the road is to be built no further than
Susanville at this time. e.-Sparks Trib-

T. J. PETRIE SUFFERS
A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

T. j. Petrie, one of the old settlers
of the valley, suffered serions injuries
last Thursday evening, while driving
along Williams avenue on his way home.
He was riding a mower, which was
minus the cycle, otherwise he probably
would have been killed. The horses
we're frightened in some manner and
while running at hreakneck speed Mr..
Petrie was precipitated under the ma
chine. When he emer ged from the
mixup he was carrying numerous in
juries and bruises. among which was a
badly lacerated leg.
He was taken to the home of ]. G..
Gault, his son-in-law, where his injur-
les were dressed and he has since been
confined to his bed. Though he is get
tirg along well, his advanced years
preclude rapid recovery.

NEVADA'S STATE POLITICS
Are Warming Up And Candi-
dates Are Coming From
Under Cover.

The Fourth of July is over; the ma
tional conventions have been concluded
and the Nevada delegates are home
from their strenuous labors. Political
activity has been co-incident with the
conclusion of these things.
The big fight in this state promises
to be centered in the fight for United
States senatorship. 1t will be between
Key Pittman, Democrat and United
States Senator Massey. Republican and
the contest promises 10 be one of the
hottest seen in Nevada for long
time. II is certain at this time that
both will run.
Clay Tallman, Democrat, and L. L.
Roberts, Republican, will probably be
opposing candidates for congress,
though doubt is expressed in some
quarters whether Roberts will again
make the run. But those intimate
with the present congressman are firm
in the opinion that he desires another
term in the lower house.
p. A. McCarren. George Bartlett and
A. A. Herr, all of Reno, and all Demo-
Gratis, are announced candidates for the
vacancy on the supreme bench that will
arise when Judge Sweeney steps down
and out on January lst. So far no Re-
publican aspirant has poked his head up
to be shot at in the run for supreme
judge.
0ddie was among the governors who
declared allegiance some time back to
Roosevelt and the method he will use
now to extricate himself from his pre-
dicament, now that Taft has the nomi-
nation, will prove at least interesting
to those who have gloried in the gov
ernor's embarnssments. His action,
along with number of other state ex-
ecutives of the country. seems to have
been premature.
