WIRE THIEVES AGAIN
The attendants of the Delaware and
Atlantic Telephone and Telegraph
Company, located at the Central Ex-hange
at Newton Square, were alarm-ed
about 3 O'clock yesterday morning
by the violent ringing of the burglar
and storm hells, located on the wires
running north to Reading. Pa.
Lineman Dudley at once started In
pursuit of the break, and when about
three miles north and near Leopard.
PI . he found eight men vigorously
winking their nippers and cutting the
copper wires. The thieves warned of
his approach, descended hustily from
the poles and escaped in the darkness,
leaving a team behind them, which ran
away during the excitement and was
found on Darby Brook farm.
The team consisted of a fine bay and
gray hitched to a covered Dearborn
wagon. In the wagon were found some
of the tools used by the thieves, basket
tilled with lunch, lanterns and about
$250 worth of copper wire that had
been cut from the poles.
Constable Stemple and Officer Hast-ings
wen mil yesterday in the effort to
locate the thieves, but were unsuccess-ful.

"I stuck to my engine although every

to give up, I got a bottle of Electric Bit-ters
and. after taking It. I felt as well
as I ever did In my life." Weak, sickly

TROLLEY EXTENSION
Trolley stories come thick and fast.
The latest project lu that line Is a road
from I-ansdale to Green I.anc, passing
through the villages of Kulpsvtllc,
Mainland, Harleysvllle and Sumney-town.
This lino was surveyed some
years ago and It was thought that it
might be built In the near future. Lack
of financial support caused the project
to be abandoned. Now It is revived,
and it Is said that a company is to be
formed and the line built immediately.
The road would be about 15 miles
long and would pass through a section
of country now entirely without rail-road
or trolley facilities. It would
connect the Norh Penn Railroad with
the Perklomen railroad. It Is propos-ed
to extend the trolley from Green
Lone to Pennsburg. five miles further
north on the Perklomen railroad.
The projectors of the Doylestown
and Lansdale trolley are securing the
right of way preparatory to commenc-ing
active operations on ■ i V 1.
The survey has been oomploil I by
Messrs. Myers & Bean. O— - • ■ v
carries the road on the west side of the
Reading railroad tracks the entire dis-tance,
while another provides for an
overhead crossing at Chnlfont, thence
proceeding to Lansdale by the way of
Montgomeryvllle. It Is likely the west
side plan will be adopted.

They are home. Now we are all anx-ious
to know what is going to happen
in Montgomery county politics. Both
of these once invalids are In line fight-ing
trim and we all expect brisk times
this coming summer, for Mr. ETTeedc
in addition to serving as Register, Is
County Chairman of his party.
The Orphans Court bill to establish
a s?parate Orphans Court in this coun-ty
Is now formally before the Legisla-ture,
Mr. ICcQlathery having Intro-duced
It In the House. According to
Resident Clerk Charles Johnson, of the
lower brunch of the Legislature, It Is
going to become a law. Mr. Johnson
comes home from Harrisburg every
week and when 1 met him last Friday
he told me that two hills are scheduled
to pass tho present session—the new
Orphans Court bill and the Plttsburg
"Ripper" bill. The new court will ex-pedite
business in this county. Now
It takes nine months and often a year
to reach final settlement of an invol-ved
estate after the executor or admin-istrator
files his account Under an
Orphans Court separate from the other
rourts, the business can be finished up
In three months without any expense
to the estate or heirs
It Is well to stop In the hurly-burly
of the world of politics about us and
to tako a look at man In his social and
economical environments. I was led
lo a train of thought widely separated
from politics one day last week when
I saw a funeral cortege wend its way
slowly to the cemetery. The corpse
was that of a man stricken by death
in Ihe full flush of vigorous manhood.
He was William Sykcs, a few years
ago an humble and obscure employe
In one of the textile mills here. At
the time of his death he was a success-ful
manufacturer in Philadelphia. The
funeral on its wny to tho grave from
his comfortable hut ordinary dwell-ing
in the East end of the town, where
he dwelt as an employe., passed the
large mansion he had elected in the
West end In which he Intended to re-side
as an employer. The costly In-completed
dwelling will not have him
as an ocupant. In our way of looking
at life he deserved to enjoy the com-forts
which his energies and thrift
brought him. God Ordained nth":
At the age of forty-six William Sykes
left this world of winning endeavor on
his part- and was denied that what
poor humanity thought should be his
for a few years of enjoyment Every
one who knew him and knew his cir-cumstances
said it was hard' ami
when everyone said that I was set a
thinking. Ills was a successful life
viewed from tho world point, but his
death was m such "hard luck"
as many mortals would think. He
leaves behind a competence for his
family ami the flavor of a well-spent
life. He was honest and rcllgolus, und
while he did not obtain ill of his
earthly hopes, he was called to his
eternal home when the c.lver of all
gOOd deemed It wise that he should
not tarry longer lure In-low. It is well
to look at matters In a spiritual WSJ
occasionally, as this mode of viewing
broadens the horizon of observation.
A brick falling upon him while
working at the Warwick Furnace,
Pottstown Cornelius Kepbart had his
skull fractured.

ABOUT THE TOWN
When a n.ar is out soliciiicg votes
for a friend he hears mary tin-prising
things. <.ne of the curiosities of the
past election was told by a First ward
politician, who in endeavoring to get
ii vote for S. D. Woodward, began the
conversation by asking If he was
known. "Oh! yes", replied the "Old
Inhabitant", he's the civilized engi-neer."

"The gas bill," said the mar. of mod-erate
means, "Is likely to be more or
less of a terror; and yet even a gas
bill can have Its gentler side. Com-monly
frowning, yet sometimes It may
actually smile.
"We put away every month so much
for the gas bill. We know nbout how
much It will be In this season and In
that, and so we get pretty close to IL

sudden jump. Always big enough, here
comes one which for some unaccount-able
reason goes up a dollar at a jump.

sometimes it even laughs outright, as
It did to-day in tho jolliest way you

It was like finding a dollar. And
was that dollar welcome? Yes, yes,
