If you are a hunter and have
children, don't carelessly drop your
gun where it would be in easy
reach for your boy or girl. The Cit
izen contains an article to-day in
which a little brother shot his sis
ter through carelessness like this.
Owing to bad piece of road in
Monroe county Uncle Sans repre-
sentative recently did not recommend
| the establishment of a rural deliv-
cry. The matter went before the
court which directed the supervisors
to place the road in better condition
or there would be trouble.
In court Friday Judge Fell,
of Luzerne county, granted permis-
sion to District Attorney Bigelow
to indict State Highway Commission
er Bigelow, his first deputy, Chief
Engineer Hunter, and his assistants.
They are charged with maintaining
bad roads in several townships in the
county. Bigelow's defense is that
he has no funds to carry out the
work.
Fire, which started in a store
room filled with newly arrived holi-
day goods, swept through the Thomp-
son Department store at Binghamton

Sixty girl employees and a crowd of
customers escaped without injury.
Six buildings in the same block with
the Thompson store were slightly

Work on the big cutoff the
Lackawanna Railroad company is
building on their main line between
Clarks Summit and Hallstead is
about half completed. The grading

York city and Hoboken will be con-
siderably lessened, and pusher en-
gine service from Clark's Summit to
Hallstead will be done away with.
Everybody is anxiously watt
ing to see what the Rev. ]. Elmer
Saul, the Baptist clergyman recent
ly elected mayor of Norristown, is
going to do in the way of reform.
He has served as member of coun-
Gil and recently alone singned a mi
nority report asking for the removal
of the chief of police, who was up
on graft charges. The liquor men
are anxious to know how his ad-
ministration will affect their busi-
ness.
Following the announcement
that spurious coins have been passed
in several local towns comes a re-
port from Hallstead that detectives
representing the government have
arrived in Binghamton, N. Y, for the
purpose of running down what is
thought to be gang of counterfeit
ers. Deputy United States Marshall
Black says the coins include a half
dollar, quarter dollar, nickels and
dimes. A test has shown all of the
coins to be counterfeits.
Mrs. Fannie McGlynn, II years
old, arrived in Palo Alto Monday
from Philadelphia, having walked
the entire distance of 95 miles dur
ing the week to collect rent on a
dwelling house which she once own
ed and thought she still retained

ty at Palo Alto was sold by the coun-
ty commissioners in 1884 for nom
payment of taxes. Thomas Collins,
who now owns the house, offered
Mrs. McGlynn the free use of the
property for the remainder of her
life, and she accepted the gift.

We'll, if l knew l could have done
as good as you did l would not have
bought my coat in S--' This
is an actual experience and the same
thing is being said every day right
here in Honesdale. Besides, the
lady who bought her coat in that city
paid more for it than did the young
lady who purchased at home. Pat
