True, but many unusual things have happened this year! Because the weather's been too cold for Summer Clothes we have a big stock on hand, the biggest we have ever had at this period of the season, and we propose to begin to unload it now. Our preparations have to be made far in advance of the season. Fabrics for this summer's business were ordered from the mills last summer.

No one could foresee such unusual weather conditions. But, it is our policy to sell out our clothes the same season they are made. Having more to sell, we begin earlier-that's all. The different lots ae on separate piles for handy selections. Uere's a chance to get the best clothes at bargain prices.

uiUJiiiiuiiyiJi Prices Off Manager Knows of no Devel opments In Trolley Situation General Manager G. M. Smith of the Shamokin and Mount Carmel Transit Company, arrived in town on the Reading train at 12:35 this afternoon, returning from his secret mission to Philadelphia. He left the station immediately for the residence of Thos. M.

Righter, where a brief consultation was had. When Mr. Smith alighted from the train he was interviewed by an ITEM reporter, who asked the General Manager if there was anything new in the trolley situation. "There is nothing new," replied Mr. Smith.

"I do not know any more about the situation than you do; probably not as much." Our next question was, "Have the trolley employes been in communication with you since the suspension was inaugurated?" "No," replied Mr. Smth. "I have re- ceived no communication from them." iThe manager seemed to be in a good humor, and smilingly answered every question. Leaving the station, he hurried to Mr. Righter's residence, where he remained over an hour.

To the best of our knowledge, there have been no development); of any importance since the strike began. Neither side appears to be making a move to end the suspension, and meanwhile the people try to endure the inconvenience as philosophically as possible. An all summer strike would be no surprise. KULP MAY BUY it is currently rumored that Hon. Monroe H.

Kulp of Shamokin will buy the Shamokin and Mount Carmel Transit Co. This report may be correct, but we were unable to have it confirmed.

THE VOTES Burke and Taby Are the Democratic Nominees: Deib-ler and Stecker the Republican The official count of the votes cast at the primary election on Saturday last began in the court house at S.in-bury at noon yesterday, and was completed at four o'clock in the afternoon.

The following result was announced For Sheriff, Democratic, Taby had 1554 votes, Forbes 1547. Taby's plurality was 7. George A. Stecker, Republican candidate for Sheriff, was unopposed and is accordingly nominated. For District Attorney, Democratic.

Thomas X. Burke had 2004, and Jef-J ferson Kearney 1965. Burke's majority is 39. For District Attorney, Republican, A. K.

Deibler had 1236 and Clarence F. Huth 1218. Deibler's majority was IS. An examination of ballots cast by Republicans showed that Thomas X. Burke had been given at least half a hundred votes, but these were not counted.

It will be seen that lie total number of votes cast for the Democratic candidates was 1515 more than that cast for both Republican candidates. This may or may -not be taken as an indication of how the general elec tion will go, but it does show that the Democrats showed greater inter est in the primaries. It is admitted by all that the count as recorded yesterday was lair in every particular, and there will be no ontests. There is still very lively talk that Clarence F. Huth will be an indep endent candidate for District Attor ney, people all over the county hav ing urged him to take this step.

Mr Huth himself has not as yet indicat ed that he will do so, however. YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER Ninety years ago occurred th year without a summer. Frost ap peared in every month ot the year 1816. Ice formed an inch thick in May. Snow fell to the depth of 10 inches in Vermont, seven inches in Maine, three inches in the interior of New York and also in Massachu setts in June.

Ice was formed the thickness of common window glass throughout New England, New York and some parts of Pennsylvania on July 5. Indian corn was so frozen that the greater part was cut down and dried for fodder in August, and farmers supplied themselves from the corn produced in 1815 for the seed of the spring of 1817.

GIRLS AND SERPENTS One day last week Lizzie and Grace Muthler, of Lock Haven, aged 13 and 15, when on their way home from driving their cows to pasture, discovered three large black snakes basking in the sunshine. The young ladies gave battle to the reptile and succeeded in killing all of them. Two of them they were compelled to dig out of a rail pile whence they had crept, and the third one was killed after quite a chase. The length of one was five and the other two were four feet each.

In Town Today A distinguished visitor to town today was Colonel J. K. Bobinson, of Mifflintown, Deputy State Factory Inspector. The Colonel is on his reg ular rounds of the terrtory in his jurisdiction, making a general inspec tion of conditions. Colonel Kobinson, who, by way, is really entitled to be called 'General," has a remarkable war record, and talks very entertainingly of hi thrilling experiences.

He entered the service of Uncle Sam, soon after the Civil War began, as a Captain in the First Pennsylva nia Cavalry. Later he was transferr ed to a Captaincy in the Sixteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, and for gallant service was made Colonel of the Regiment. For particular bravery he was brevetted a Brigadier General. He had active command of his regiment in the Appomattox campaign, and his cavalry corps was a large factor in compelling the Confederate commander to surrender. An honored member of the Union Veteran Legion, Colonel Robinson is everywhere held in highest esteem by his comrades of the great Civil War.

An oil painting, an exce'leit likeness of the man as he appeared in war times, occupies a conspicuous place in the. flag room in the now State Capitol building at Harris-bury. Colonel Robinson, although 7 years of age, is very active for a ma.i of his years, and bids fair to render the State efficient service for a lou time to come.
