View From the Bridge.
By Jeanette Pohle.

Standing on Honesdale's State
bridge one beholds view of the
Lackawaxen river, with a fountain
situated near the bridge and of equal
distance from one side of the bank
as from the other. On the left side
is a long row of willows that shade
the park and the red shale walk be-
low. Here there are circular benches
which surround the trees besides
the ones which stand near the edge
of the river On the right side is a
smooth, green lawn with the same
kind of trees that are on the oppos-
ite bank. Looking farther down
the river one will notice a small,
white house that seems to be sur
rounded with SO many trees that it
looks as if it were built in miniature
forest. Keeping guard over this
scene is Honesdale's watchful senti-
mel, Irving Cliff, famous for the
name bestowed on it after Washing
ton 1rving's long-ago visit to Homes
dale.

LOCAL OPTION FIGHT IN HOUSE
Present Week in Harrisburg Will be
Marked by Disposition of Liquor
RiIIS

Harrisburg, Feb. 24.-The bien-
nial fight over local option will occur
in the legislature this week. The
Rockwell bill making counties and
municipalities of 10000 population
the unit is the special order for sec
ond reading at 1 1 o'clock on Tuesday
morning in the House of Represen-
tatives and the fight may be made
against it on that stage, as was done
four years ago. If the bill passes
second reading it will be a special
order on Wednesday for third read
ing, when the final struggle will take
place. The Steele prohibition amend
ment, which would submit the pro-
hibition question to the voters of the
state, will also be on second reading
on Tuesday.
An amendment to the Steele reso-
luton for statewide prohibition, to
reimburse hotel and liquor men for
their property by the state if it
should go dry" will be offered in
the house Tuesday morning by Rep
resentative Thomas A. Steele, of Nc
Keesport, the sponsor for the bill
That resolution comes up for first
reading tomorrow night, and will be
amended when it comes up for sec
ond reading. While Representative
Steele wants to make Pennsylvania
dry" he believes that the liquor
men should be reimbursed for the
thousands of dollars they have ex-
pended in the business.

Ernest Miller, of Clinton Township,
Through Attorneys, Starts Action
In Assumpsit Against Sarah e.
Miner.

An action in assumpsit was started
Thursday afternoon by Searle & Sal
mon, attorneys for Ernest Miner,
plaintiff, against Sarah e. Miner, de-
fendant, to recover 81 $50 with in
terest from October 12, 1912.
The papers were filed with Pro-
thonotary Barnes. Miner claims
that he had made a verbal agreement
with his father whereby he was to
work for the latter, putting his earn
ings back into the farm, and he was
to have the farm in fee. After his
fathers death in 1910 the property
was willed to his mother, Sarah Min
er. He afterwards agreed to work
under the same arrangements and
he further alleges that his mother
made a will bequeathing the prop
erty to him. On October 12, 1912,
he alleges his mother refused to
recognize the arrangement or allow
him on the farm. He seeks to re-
cover wages of $50 per month dur
ing the time he worked. Both
parties in the action are residents
of Clinton township.

uted through the streets, crowds had
been prevented from gathering, and the
population was thoroughly in hand. 1t
was said. however, that the govern
ment feared that all the troops In the
city could not be trusted
A special man was brought in by the
government to escort the prisoners to
the penitentiary instead of having the
task assigned to some of the soldiers
who had fought under the revolution
ary leaders and who so far have been
well in hand. The man summoned was
Major Cardenas of the Seventh rurales,
who has gained a reputation in cam
paigns against insurrectos.

government itself are concerned. how
ever. they were cleared by official ac-
tion of the cabinet A special meeting

Suarez and the diplomatic representa-
tions that had been made in their be-
half by Ambassador Wilson and others

against them should be referred to the
attorney general and meanwhile the
prisoners should be sent to the peniten
tiary. 1t was also decided that meet
ing of the cabinet should be held to an

half of President Taft.
Widow Not Admitted.
| Madero's wife who, since the revolu
ton, had pleaded with General Huerta
for the life Of her husband, heard OF
his death soon after 1t occurred. She
had been expecting 1t, for she had
been unable to get pledge for his
safety from the present ruler. Or

that the body be surrendered to her
He would not accede to the request

CATION or the circumstances connected
with the killing of Madero and Sua-
rez. .....
While Ambassador Wilson did not
explain this decision of the diplomatic
body, 1t is obvious to officials here
lhat the diplomats are not convinced
Of the truth Of the statement, made In
behalf of the Huerta administration,
that the killing was the outcome of an
nttack by persons not connected with
the government.
According to the view taken here,
the diplomats have at least a suspi-
zion that the Huerta government had
u hand in the assassination and feel
that they do not care to give recogni-
ton to such government by attend
ing an official function unless 1t can
be shown that Madero and the former
vice president met their deaths with
out official connivance.

PLAN TO PICK DAISY FOR
STATE FLOWER
Bill introduced in the House by Rep
resentative jackson of Tyler Hill
Wayne County.

A State flower for Pennsylvania,
the daisy, and an annual celebration
of what shall be "Daisy Day. are
provided for in a bill introduced in
the House by Representative Jack
son, of Wayne county.
Similar attempts have been made
in the past to select a flower for the
Keystone State, but rivalry among
champions of different flowers has
always resulted in the defeat of the
measure singing out any particular
flower as favorite.
Mr.. Jackson, who has now under
taken the task of meeting all objec-
tions to the daisy, points out that
in the language of flowers the daisy
stands for innocence and beauty and
says that in his opinion the women
of the State if they had chance to
vote upon the question would favor
his suggestion.
Mr.. Jackson's bill is short and ito
the point. 1t reads:
The Commonwealth of Pennsylva'
mia is one among the eight States oi
the United States which have up tC
the present time failed or neglected
to adopt some form of floral emblem
or State flower and,
Whereas, the adoption of some EN-
blem as aforesaid would inculeatt
patriotism In school children of the
State. Therefore be it enacted.
First, the daisy shall be the Stat'
floral emblem of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania.
Second, the fourteenth day of Jun'
in each year shall be known a.
DAISY Day. and be celebrated ac
cordingly.

A Bit of Scenery.
By Beulah Freeman.

In summer, standing on the bridge
facing the east, person can see one
of the most beautiful bits of scenery
in Wayne county. Below is the mar
row Lackawaxen river placidly fow-
ing on its slow course, bordered on
each side by verdant banks. Large
willow trees standing on both sides
droop over the water as if to see their
reflection in the shining mirror. On
the bosom of the river, near the
bridge, is a small fountain which
continually throws a slender spray
of water in the air. Across the dam
is the narrow road of small town
ship. From the dusty road ones
gaze wanders to the cool, wooded
hillside and still farther to the sum-
NIT of historical Irving Cliff. Many
rocks and projecting lodges form a
picturesque view. Above the cliff
can be seen the lovely blue of the
sky dotted here and there with
fleecy white clouds.

Washington, Feb. "a. - While the
killing of ex-President Madero and ex-
Vice President Suarez has not changed
the Mexican situation so far as the
United States government is concern
ed, the event bids fair to have very
serious effect on the relations between
the Huerta administration and the

This is made plain by dispatch re-
