A HARD WORKING SUPERIN'
TENDENT.

Over two hundred Wayne county
teachers are in Honesdale this week
to attend the forty-siXth annual in
stitute, which is being held in the
High school auditorium. Professor
]. j. Koehler, county superintendent,
has spared neither time nor eX-
pense in getting the best talent OBJ
tainable to instruct and entertain
the teachers during their stay here.
1t is safe to say that he has secured
one of the best corps of instructors
and strongest line of entertainments
ever to attend a gathering of this
character. 1t is, therefore, a fore
gone conclusion that the 1913 Wayne
County Teachers Institute will be
the best ever held in Honesdale.
Professor Koehler is a hard-working
superintendent and considers that
the best is none too good for his
large corps of teachers.
To Superintendent Koehler great
credit is due for the method of
teaching spelling in Wayne county,
Spelling until superintendent Koch
ler's system was adopted, was con-
sidered as a neglected branch in the
schools cirriculum. He conceived
the plan of holding district spelling
contests and issuing diplomas to the
successful pupils who spelled correct
ly list of eighteen hundred words
that had been compiled by a COM
mittee for this purpose. The win
ners of the oral and written contests
were to spell at the time of holding
the teachers institute and receive
county diplomas. The plan worked
out beautifully. To-day spelling is
one of the leading studies in the diff
ferent branches taught. Superin-
tendent Koehler's method of spelling
has been adopted by other counties
in this and other states. Well may
Wayne be proud of its county super
intendent, Professor j. ]. Koehler

STARRUCCA BOROUGH NOT

Amount of Verdict Was Excessive.

Attorneys Mumford and Greene Move
Amount of Verdict Was Excessive.
E. c. Mumford and Homer Greene,
attorneys for the Borough of Star
rucca, who is defendant in a suit
brought by Luta Jane Mead and
George L. Mead, to recover damages
amounting to $1,000, motioned the
Court on Monday for a rule to show
cause why new trial should not be
granted in the case.
The suit was tried during the Oc-
tober term of court and the jury in
the case gave Mrs. Mead verdict of
$645 and Mr. Mead 500.
The rule was granted to have the
evidence and the charge of the Court
transcribed.
They gave as their reasons for ask
ing for a new trial the following:
That the evidence of witnesses
familiar with the bridge, that in their
opinion it was unsafe for ordinary
travel, should have been admitted
That the verdict was against the
charge of the Court.
That the verdict was against the
weight of the evidence.
That the amount of the verdict
was grossly in excess of any amount
of damages shown to have been suf-
fered by the plaintiffs.
The defendants reserve the right
to file additional reasons within
twenty days.

KEPHART VICTOR OVER GRIM
FOR SUPERIOR COURT
Claims Plurality of 10000 on Re-
turns-$5O, 900 900 Road Loan
Defeated 167,1D5 To 174.O54.

Returns from sixty-one out of the
siXty-seven counties in the State, in
cluding Philadelphia and Allegheny
indicate the election of John w. Kep-
hart, of Cambria county, for Superior
Court judge over Webster Grim,
Bucks county, by a plurality of 49,
131. AS Kephart is a Western man
and as five of the six missing coun-
ties are in the western part of the
State, complete returns are expected
to increase his lead. The missing
counties are Westmoreland, Mercer,
Mexican, Beaver, Clearfeld and
Tioga.
Mr.. Kephayt at his home at Ebens-
burg claimed his election by more
than 10000 plurality over Grim.
John j. Henderson, of Crawford
county, received the highest vote of
any of the four candidates for the
Superior Court Judgeship, his mar
gin over Kephart on the face of re-
Grim leads Alcorn by 36,755 votes.
The total vote for the sixty-one
counties was: John ]. Henderson,

Webster Grim, Bucks county, III, ;

Returns from more than two
thirds of the counties in the State
show that the proposed 100000
bond issue to be used in road i'm
provement, has been defeated by a
substantial plurality. The vote in
forty-eight counties, including Phila-
delphia and Allegheny, on the loan
was: Yes, 167,195; No, 174,052.

They will start an account for you

and it is up to you then to add as

your savings deposits in the Farm

In other words, in January and July
interest is computed and added to

SOME CITIZEN COMMENT


Robinson Crusoe experiences in
this age are so rare that they at
tract UNIVERSAL notice. The last to
claim attention is that of a party of
Esquimaux numbering, it is said,
ten persons, who were rescued from
an island in the mouth of Hudson S
Bay, upon which they had been ma
rooned for a period of ten years
The Esquimaux were caught off
shore on drift ice and carried, after
long weeks of hardship, to the is
land upon which they were found
This island has been steadfastly
avoided by passing vessels because
of reefs and magnetic disturbances
which affected ships compasses. 1t
is over 100 miles off the mainland.
The EsquimauX had lived during all
the period Of their forced stay on
fish and seal meat. Several children
were born during the decade of their
Imprisonment, and some of the party
had died. And this incident occur
red right on our Western continent,
right directly north from Wayne
county, but quite some distance
north.

Woman Suffrage, or, more prop
erly speaking, the Woman Suffrage
subject, has now been put up to the
Pope by a large number of leading
prelates of the Catholic church for a
definite expression of the church s
attitude on the question of woman s
suffrage. The general supposition
is that that matter had been settled
by the head of that church long ago;
but it has never been really settled,
it appears, hence the action of the
prelates as stated above. High
church officials who have discussed
the subject with the Pope state that
his ruling would unquestionably be
against the suffragettes. 1t is ex-
pected that his decision in the mat

the world, While this is their an
ticipation, they may find themselves
mistaken when the encyclical letter
is published. There are many digni-
taries of that church that have been
and are openly in favor of woman
being given the right to vote and
assist in making the laws under
which she must live, and be punish
ed if she breaks them. Among those
favorable to the movement are Car
dinal Bourne, of London, and the

Allen was the County Superintend-
ent, and Earl Sherwood was Secre-
tary. At that Institute Secretary
Sherwood made an impromptu ad-
dress that brought down universal
applause. Two or three years later
there was something in the nature
of a clash during Institute week.
Honesdale had literary society
called the Franklin Lyceum, and
Theodore Tilton's lecture came dur
ing Institute week. The Lyceum
managers wanted Sup't Allen to
change the hour of the Institutes en-
tertainment that came on the night
of Tilton's lecture. They wanted the
teachers to hear Theodore; but AL
len couldn't see it that way, and in
his speech of refusal he said that he
wouldn't change the program not
to hear Theodore Tilton's or any
other mans free love lecture" The
teachers applauded the speech; but
there was a chilly air towards the
Institute from certain Honesdale sec
tions during the rest of the week.

NOTED SURGEON
DIES SUDDENLY
Was Specialist Who Attend

and Who Was Known as
the Father of Appendi-

on Celebrated Topic.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Stockbridge, Mass, Nov. 7.-Dr.
Charles McBurney, eminent New
York surgeon, died suddenly at his
sisters home here today. He was 6S
years old.
DIR. McBurney returned from a
hunting trip in Maine last Saturday.
He appeared in his usual health until
this morning.
DIR. McBurney, after a practice of
nearly forty years in New York, re-
tired to his country estate here in
1907 He was a graduate Of Harvard
college and of the college Of physi-
clans and surgeons, New York. Dur
ing his professional life he was con-
geon with many New York hospitals
and for a time was professor of elm
ical surgery at the college Of ply
sicians and surgeons.
When President Mckinley was shot
in 1901, DR.. McBurney was called from
Stockbridge and took charge of the
case upon his arrival in Buffalo.
DR.. McBurney had acquired a con-
siderable reputation as a surgeon when
in 1899 he published an essay on
Experience With Operative Interior
ence in cases of Disease of the Yer

from the whole world and for many
years his colleagues jocularly called
him the father of appendicitis" His
essay created the first general recog-
milton of IT, disease, estab lished a
means of diagnosis and a character of
treatment and gave to America ad-
mitted priority and prominence in
that treatment The prominence which
he gave to the symptom Of localized
tenderness, now universally known as
"McBurney's point" brought a ready
means of diagnosis and undoubtedly
led to the saving Of thousands of
lives.
His later contributions to medical
science included the introduction of
the first effective operation for the
relief of hernia, new method of op-
GRAFTON for hillary caIculi and a revo-
lutionary change in the methed of
treating certain disIocations of the
humerus. He was a pioneer in in
sisting upon aseptic surgery and he
developed great part of the aspetic
operative technique which soon be-
came a matter of course in all OBJ

This question is one of the many

The uncertainty seems to hinge upon
whether the tax should be withheld

it shall be paid by the latter. In the
event of its being withheld the ques-
