August 31, and Wednesday, September
1, to register all who are entitled to
vote at the November election.
John F. Longenecker has disposed of
his six-cylinder Imperial auto to a Har-risburg
party. He has also delivered a
Chevrolet touring car to Cyrus Bom-berger,
residing near Halfville.
George L. Hepp, the well-known
jeweler and optician of this place, cele-brated
his fifty-first birthday annivers-ary
on Tuesday. Here's hoping he may
have many happy returns of the day.
B. F. Davis, attorney for Anna L.
Furlow, has entered suit in the court of
common pleas against J. D. Roland,
executor of Lucetta Lehn, late of Lititz
boro. It is brought to recover for ser-vices
rendered.
The peach crop is fast ripening and
judging by the amount being offered on
the streets peaches are plentiful. The
freestone varieties are now to be had.
They are selling at from 35 to 75 cents a
basket, according to size and quality.
John Helman's driving horse had to be
chloroformed to death oh Monday night.
The animal splintered a bone in its leg
and suffered so much pain that it was
considered advisable to end its suffer-ings.
Mr. and Mrs. Helman made a
great pet of the horse.
The concert by Beck's band, which
was to have been given at the Spring
grounds on Tuesday evening, had to be
postponed until last evening, when
weather conditions proved agreeable.
The concert was largely attended and
the music rendered under the direction
of Prof. Keppel was unusually fine.
The Philadelphia & Reading railroad
company has placed a new gong at the
Broad street crossing at this place. We
do not think that a gong is sufficient pro-tection
at this much-used crossing but
nevertheless the new gong is an im-provement
over the one'which it replac-ed,
as its ring is louder and clearer.
With the fall primary election less
than a month off—the exact date is
Tuesday, September 21—things are
beginning to warm up politically in this
borough. Many of the candidates for
the various offices to be filled have al-ready
filed their petitions with the prop-er
signers with the county commission-ers,
requesting that their names be
printed on the ballots of their respective
parties. According to reports there
will be opposition for some of the offices.
Several weeks ago the borough coun-cil
held a special meeting and acted
favorably upon a numerously signed pe-tition
praying for the re-oiling of the
streets of town. The streets were again
becoming dusty at the time but there
have been such frequent rains since the
decision to re-oil that it has not been
necessary as yet. Provided there is
little rain the oil will likely be applied
next week. It is generally conceded
that the later in the summer it is applied
the better it will be for the streets over
the winter and early next spring, when
the weather is too cool to oil.
Concerning the Location Here of the
Stiffel & Freeman Co. Everybody
Invited to Attend
Progressive citizens of Lititz, atten-tion
! There is going to be a very im-portant
meeting concerning the Stiffel
and Freeman Co., the industry which
contemplates locating here, held in the
High School auditorium, this (Thursday)
evening at 8 o'clock. Whether or not
you have subscribed for stock in the in-dustry
you should attend the meeting.
The subscribers will effect a preliminary
organization and decide several matters
of vital importance to each one of them.
Latest reports state that excellent
progress has been made in the securing
of subscriptions by the committee which
is endeavoring to raise $55,000, the
amount needed for Lititz to secure this
industry. The committee certainly has
been working diligently and deserves all
praise for the public-spiritedness which
they are showing.
On Monday Mr. Augustus Stiffel,
president of the Stiffel & Freeman Co.,
and Mr. Enoch Ohnstrand, an engineer
of Flushing, L. I., were here to look
over sites for the erection of buildings
for the industry.
Much Impressed with Lititz
Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Weygandt and
children Helene and Hedwig, of Long
Island, N. Y., spent the latter part of
last week in town as the guests of the
Ideal Chocolate Company. Mr. Wey-gandt
is the American agent for the
Lehmann chocolate manufacturing ma-chines.
On Friday the Weygandts, ac-companied
by Mrs. R. O. Melzer, of this
place and Mr. Caverly, of Dayton, O.,
took an auto trip to Hershey in Mr. W.
H. Muth's car. At Hershey they were
royally entertained by Mr. Hershey.
The Weygandts were much pleased with
their visit to Lititz, and contemplate
coming here on an extended visit in the
near future. They were most favorably
impressed with Linden Hall Seminary.
Many Attended Kinport Excursion
The annual excursion of the employees
of the chain of Kinport cigar factories
in the northern end of the county was
held on Saturday and proved a success.
Willow Grove was the objective point
and the excursionists were taken there
in two sections over the Reading rail-road.
The one section started at this
place, leaving at 7 A. M. There was
quite a procession toward the station as
the hour of seven drew nigh, and when
train time arrived 249 persons boarded
the special here. The total number who
enjoyed the trip was 1193. Weather
conditions were none too favorable when
the train left, but the day was not mar-red
by the elements, as very little rain
fell at Willow' Grove. One of the at-tractions
at the famous park was Sousa
and his band, while the beautiful electric
fountain delighted all. Many of those
who accompanied the excursion took
advantage of the chance to see the
sights in Philadelphia. Lovers of base
ball attended the two games played be-tween
the national league teams repre-senting
Philadelphia and Chicago, and as
the Phillies won the two games the
crowd was happy indeed. The trains
left Willow Grove at 9.00 and 9.15, the
former arriving here at 12.50 and the
last section at 2.00 o'clock Sunday A. M.
NUMEROUS PERSONS CALLED TO THE
GREAT BEYOND.

Died While Talking to Niece
Mrs. Elizabeth Doerr, widow of Henry
Doerr, died suddenly on Thursday even-ing
while sitting in a rocking chair talk-ing
to her niece, Mrs. Charles Gabriel,
at Lancaster. Mrs. Doerr was stricken
with heart trouble and died within a
short time. For a number of years she
had been a guest at the Drexel Home in
Philadelphia, but at the time of her
death was on a visit to her niece. Her
husband died two years ago, but a son,
Henry, of Altoona, and a daughter, Mrs.
Henry C. Biggs, of Philadelphia, sur-vive.
The funeral was held on Sunday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, with interment
private in Lancaster cemetery. De-ceased
was the mother-in-law of our
townsman, C. Fred. Regennas, whom
she visited two weeks prior to her death.
Huge Tent Will be Erected near Eby
Shoe Factory and There will be an
Afternoon and Evening Performance
"Hurrah ! Circus day to-morrow.'
This is the expression of many of the
youngsters. The famous Welsh Broth
ers circus will arrive here by special
train during the early morning and give
an afternoon and evening performance
The immense tent with a seating capa
city of 5000 and guaranteed rain-proof
will be erected on the lot in the rear of
the Eby Shoe factory, which will be
scene of much activity from early morn
till late at night. The lot is convenient-ly
located and is but a few steps from
the concrete walk leading past the Shoe
factory on Kline street.
Welsh Bros, have been travelling over
thé country for many years and have
the finest circus in their career. It
carries no unclean features and will be
the largest circus that has ever visited
this place. The management does not
allow gambling or catchpenny schemes
of any description on tbe grounds. All
the acts are in charge of very capable
performers. A noteworthy feature is
that the show is a one-ring exhibition,
the proprietors believing that this is the
most satisfactory to the audience, as it
is impossible for any one to watch more
than one ring at a time. The army of
clowns led by the famous Dave Clark
are claimed to be the most laugh-pro-voking
on the road. An excellent band
is also one of the features of the show,
as well as the many features which com-bine
to make a circus enjoyable.
The afternoon exhibition will be given
at 2 o'clock and the one in the evening 8
o'clock. Welsh Bros, are coming here
under the auspices of the local base ball
association, who will receive a share of
the receipts. The admission to the ex-hibitions
is another popular feature, it
being 25 cents for children and 35 cents
for grown-ups. Tickets are now on sale
at the following places: Rader's cigar
store, Buch's bookstore and the stores
of Pfautz Bros, and Harry Dissinger,
and W. H. Longenecke's restaurant.
Secure them in advance and avoid the
rqsh. Don'-t fail to acjSompan.Y.the kid-j
dies to one or the other of the exbibi-1
tions. Everybody is going to enjoy it.

for which they are qualified. All pupils
must present report cards or certificates
of last year's work and vaccination slips.

ANNA K. MILLER, Prin.
Among the Sick and Injured
Mrs, Dr. D. A. Long returned home
on Tuesday from the Lancaster General
Hospital, where she had been undergo-ing
treatment for the past four weeks.
She is considerably improved.
Charles Andre, who claims York coun-ty
as his home, but who had been work-ing
for John Kratzert at Neffsville for
several days, had a nasty fall at this
place on Wednesday morning. He fell
from a porch down a flight of steps and
landed with his head on a concrete
pavement. As a result he sustained a
scalp wound about one and a half inches
in length. He bled profusely before the
arrival of a physician who dressed the
wound, after which Andre was taken to
the lockup to get his bearings.
Death at United Zion Home
Frederick H. Johnson, an inmate of
the United Zion Home about one mile
north of town, died on Tuesday morning
at 6 o'clock, aged 71 years. He was an
inmate of the home for the past 2 years
and came there from New York. De-ceased
was a veteran of the Civil War.

by interment in the Home cemetery.
Death in Penn Township
Mrs. Fannie L. Boyd, widow of C. P.
Boyd, died on Sunday at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Harry Miller, at Fair-land,
in Penn township. Death was due

o'clock from the Landisville Mennonite
church. Interment in the adjoining
cemetery.
Schools Will Open Monday
The schools of the borough as well as
the adjoining townships will reopen on
Monday after the usual summer vaca-tion
for the children. Owing to the an-nexation
of Warwick and other adjacent
lands, the enrollment in this borough
will be far in excess of any previous
year. The school board has surrounded
Miss Anna K. Miller, the principal, with
what they believe to be an excellent
corps of instructors, and the coming
term promises to be a most successful
one.
Spent Sunday at Atlantic City
The excursion over the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad to Atlantic City on
Sunday was accompanied by 50 persons
from this place. It proved an ideal day
and the excursionists arrived at the sea-shore
about 10.30 A. M., having the
privilege of remaining there until 8 P.
M., which allowed ample time to see the
sights and take a dip in the deep. The
homeward trip was made in fairly good
time, the train arriving here at 1.15
A. M. The crowd at the seashore was
claimed to be the largest in the history
of the resort, more than 300,000 being
there.
CLOSING DAYS oFcHAUTAUQUA
Programs Last Thursday and Friday
Were of the Same High Order as
Those Earlier in the Week
The attendance at the Chautauqua on
last Thursday and Friday, the conclud-ing
days of Chautauqua week, was very
large, showing that one week of enter-tainment
along the lines offered by the
Chautauqua was not more than the
people cared for. On Thursday after-noon
Miss Hamilton, the superintendent,
gave the last of her series lectures,
speaking on "Sidney Lanier, Voice of
the South Land." The talk offered the
keenest enjoyment as all of the series
lectures did. The McKinnie Operatic
Company was the musical attraction.
This company had been here last year
but it was the concensus of opinion that
their singing and all else this year was
far superior to that of a year ago. In
the evening the company presented part
of the opera "The Sleeping Queen," in
costume.
Following the concert one of the
Junior Chautauqua members presented
Miss Hamilton with a boquet of beauti-ful
asters. Mrs. E. E. Habecker also
presented Miss Hamilton with a box of
Ideal chocolates, the gifts coming from
various friends. Miss Hamilton made a
neat response for the gifts.
The concluding number of the day's
program was one of the great ones of
the week and was a lecture by Dr.
Thomas E. Green, world traveler and
orator. For more than an hour Dr.
Green held his audience spell bound as
he made a great plea for world-wide
peace among the nations. Dr. Green is
vice-president of the American Peace
Society, and his statements ridiculed the
idea that the United States should spend
vast sums for the manufacture of arms.
He claimed that there was no danger of
any of the great countries attacking
these States for many years to come.
The lecture abounded in true patriotism
and was presented in such a forceful
manner by the lecturer that it left a
deep impression.

PAPER MILL CO. SPREADING OUT
Has Leased the Eden Paper Mill Which
Increases their Output about 60 per
cent.
The Consumers Boxboard and Paper
Company of this place consummated
an important deal recently, whereby
they leased the Eden paper mill, located
along the banks of the Conestoga. The
specialty of the local concern is tissue
papers and they have gained such a rep-utation
for their product within the past
few years that they are utterly unable
to meet the demand for their goods,
despite the business depression which
seemed to be prevalent in many indus-tries.
The mill at this place has been operat-ing
night and day and seven days a week
for many months, but even under these
conditions cannot fill their orders fast
enough. Hence it became imperative
that action be taken to increase the out-put,
and it was decided to lease the
Eden mill, which has been in existence
for many years. The Consumers com-pany
will take charge of the Eden plant
about September first and operate it to
its full capacity. In this way their
output will be increased about 60 per
cent. General Manager H. J. Pierson
and his able assisants are to be congrat-ulated
upon the manner in which they
are bringing the "Consumers" to the
front.
School Boards Reach an Agreement
After being at loggerheads for some
time the school boards of Warwick town-ship
and this borough reached an agree-ment
last Thursday concerning the ac-quisition
by the borough of the school
properties in what was formerly the vil-lage
of Warwick, but recently became
annexed to Lititz borough. By the
agreement the Lititz school board pays
to that of Warwick the sum of $100 and
thereby acquires all rights and titles in
the school property, which consists of
two frame school houses. The Warwick
board is permitted to retain some furni-ture
and books, which they can use very
advantageously but which would have
been of little value to the borough
schools. There were numerous meet-ings
of the boards concerning the above
question and for a time it seemed that
the court would be necessary to settle
their differences, which were mainly the
amount to be paid the Warwick Board.
In that case the court would have ap-pointed
three commissioners who would
have decided the amount of damages.
This would have incurred expense and it
was a wise move on the part of the
boards concerned to settle the matter
without entering into litigation.
Chevrolet Auto Run to Lebanon Fair
On Friday of last week 32 owners of
the popular Chevrolet autos in this sec-tion,
accompanied by their families and
friends, made a run to the Lebanon fair.
The run was in charge of John F. Long-enecker,
the local agent for the Chevro-let
car. A unique contest was conduct-ed
at the fair for the Chevrolet owners.
As each one entered the grounds he was
given a ticket, a duplicate of which was
placed in a box. During the aftenoon a
ticket was drawn from this box and the
holder of the lucky number was given a
new Chevrolet in exchange for his old
car. There were 153 participants in the
contest and the winner was Dr. Keeler,
of Mechanicsburg, who received a fine
Chevrolet roadster. There were about
100 persons in the cars from this section
and all had a very pleasant time.
Town Improvements
C. H. Fasnacht, of- Rothsville, is
erecting two frame houses on the lots
which he purchased on the Broad street
addition some time ago.
The brick dwelling being erected by
Stevens Grosh on Spruce street is now
under roof.
Mrs. I. M. Weidler's double two-story
frame house on Lemon street is nearing
completion.
Mrs. Lizzie M. Brubaker is making
alterations to her property on South
Broad street, occupied by Dr. W. L.
Woerner and wife. She will also erect
a modern home on the lot adjoining.
The handsome brick dwelling of Mr.
and Mrs. Alva Leigh on East Main
street is rapidly nearing completion.
Michael Bear is making extensive al.
terations at his home corner of Broad
and Lemon streets. The house will be
raised and moved back from the pave-ment
on the line with the houses to the
south of it. An addition will then be
built to the house and it will be convert-ed
into a modern double dwelling. All
the conveniences will be installed and
when completed the structure will be
an up-to-date one in every respect.
Warwick's New Polling Place
By reason of the extension of the
limits of Lititz borough a new polling
place is required for the Warwick dis-trict.
The court named the hotel of S.
K. Buch, at Brunnerville, as the polling
place.
