GEORGE BEURKET QUALITIES
FOR WEST POINT.

George S. Beurket, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Beurket, of this place,
has successfully qualified as a stu
dent to enter the United States Mill
tary Academy at West Point. George
received his appointment last Au-
gust, it coming through Congress-
man w. D. B. Ainey of this district.
He went to Washington, D. c., on the
29th of last April where he spent
four days in taking the necessary ex-
aminations. At that time between
700 and 500 students took the test
and from this number a class of
only 125 was selected. This speaks
in words of highest praise for George
and we are always glad to learn
when our Honesdale young men
come to the front.
The qualify notice was received
May 2S. George leaves on June IA
for West Point, where he will take
a four years course. At the end of
that time he will be given a commits
sion of Second Lieutenant, and then
serve the United States years in its

of death or sickness will he be able

FIVE CONSTABLES WITH
POWERS OF POLICE APPOINTED

Judge Searle approved the ap-
pointment of five deputy constables
for Canaan township Tuesday morn
ing. The recommendations were
made by DR.. Fitzsimmons of the
State Hospital for the Criminal In
sane at Farview. The petition was
signed by twenty-five citizens of Ca
naan township who live in the neigh
borhood of the institution and who
claim that more protection is neces-
sary for the safety of persons and
property in that section.
The men appointed deputy con-
stables were: Moses 7. Spangenburg,
Michael Mcdonnell, w. J. Lamb,
Chas. A. May and Frank Romick. A
certificate was made out immediate
ly by Prothonotary Barnes giving
the five men the power of policemen
in cities for making arrests. Their
duties will include watching over the
State property at the institution.
The recent depridations caused by
persons to the property at the hospi-
tai led up to this action by DR.. Fitz-
simmons. and it is thought that this
will also more properly protect the
property in that locality.

Fifty bears Ego
rten Exclusively for the Citizens Memorial Day
(BY Homer Greene)

ues of their comrades who have gone
before, we should have little to re-
mind us, outside the pages of history,
that fifty years ago today the tide of
the mightiest and bloodiest war ev-
er waged was just turning for the
ebb. 1t is we'll that the old causes of
war have disappeared, that the old
enmity between North and South has
been forgotten, that the men of the
blue and the men of the gray can
clasp friendly hands this year on the
field for possession of which they
fought each other with tremendous
bravery and awful sacrifice a half
century ago. But, it is we'll also
that day is set apart out of the
busy life of this twentieth century to
honor the memory of those who
fought in that great war and who
have gone on into the land of ever
lasting peace, and to remember and
restate the principles for which they
fought and which, reestablished by
their blood and bravery, have made
and will keep this nation dominant
and great.

COUNCIL TO BEGIN PAVE
SOMETIME THIS YEAR
PLANS AND COST PREPARED BY
STATE HIGHWAY DEPART
MENT DISCUSSED.
Definite Action Will Probably be
Taken at Regular Meeting Next
Thursday Evening-Mr. Reigel
Present.


Taken at Regular Meeting Next
Thursday Evening-Mr. Reigel
Present.
A special meeting of the borough
council was held in the city hall on
Wednesday evening for the purpose
of considering the advisability of
Immediately paving Main street, the
cost of same and what portion of the
entire cost would be paid by the
State.
Superintendent Reigel of the State
Highway Department, explained to
the council that in order to obtain
the full benefit of state aid they
must pave Main street it's entire
length, that is, from the Gurney
Elevator Plant, south, to the borough
limits, north, and also Park street.
There is the sum of S17,500 now
available from the state but in or
der to get this amount the council
must decide to pave the whole thing.
If Main street is to be paved only
to the uptown bridge then the
amount available from the State
would be only $4,000.
The members of the council dis
cussed the plans and cost but no
definite action was taken. At the
regular meeting next Thursday even
ing a franchise will be voted upon
calling a special election for the pur-
pose of raising the necessary funds
to begin the work.
Mr. Draper, representing the
Wayne County Street Railway COM
pany, was present, and told the coun-
Gil that they expected to begin work
next month. He also informed them
that the railway company would lay
their share of the pave at the
same time the other work was being
done. Mr.. Allen, president of the
proposed railway company, and Mr..
Hardenbergh, director of the COM
pany, were present.

fiict had the hope of the
Confederacy for ultimate victory
been higher. At no time had the
Union forces had greater cause for
Encouragement. Grant had been
baffled again and again in his at
tempt to reach Vicksburg. In De-
cember Burnside had witnessed at
Fredericksburg the fruitless sacrifice
of $4,000 of the flower of the army
of the Potomac.
In the early days OF May, Hooker
at Charlottesville had been worst
ed in a four days battle with a loss
of 1900 men. The outlook for the
Union armies was most discouraging.
The Confederate forces were flushed
with victory. Then Lee determined
to push the war into the enemy's
country, and with a great army he
invaded Pennsylvania. Meade, who
had been given command of the
Army of the Potomac, followed him,
and on the first three days of July,
1868, came that tremendous battle
at Gettysburg, with it's dramatic eli
max, the charge of Pickett's men and
its tragic ending, and victory resting
finally on the Union banners. Get
tysburg was the beginning of the
end. From that day the star of the
Confederacy waned to its final ex-
tinction at Appomattox.
Fifty years ago the clash of war
between North and South was fierc-
est, the slaughter was greatest, the
final event was most uncertain. 1t is
impossible for those of the present
generation, living in these days of
peace, in whose lives the brief war
with Spain some fifteen years ago
created a feeling that existed in this
| community, as in all other communi-
ties, in that spring of '63. Alternate
ly there was hope and despair, and
always the dread of personal or ma
tional disaster hanging like a dark
| cloud over all the people. There
was no man or woman or child in
this or any community to whom the
war had not brought its emotions and
its tragedies. Every mind was
occupied with its developments, eV-
cry heart was tense with its activi-
| ties. We cannot realize, we can only
imagine today, to what depths the
| souls of the men and women of '63
were stirred. And then the storm
| died away. Green grass grew over
the graves of the dead. Time heal
ed the wounds that grief had made.
And today the causes, the story, the
glory, the tragedy of the great war
are all forgotten. Were it not that
after fifty years a few old heroes
who marched and fought and faced
death to uphold the principles SO
wisely stated and so vigorously en-
| forced by Abraham Lincoln, are NOV
ed to come together on a day in May
to commemorate the deeds and Writ
