mass meeting is a higher power than
the law. This was exemplitied at OF
tawa last night when a mass meeting
for the purpose of devlsing ways and
means to keep the demon of drink from
the borders of the town noted for the
Chautauqua assemblies. The meeting
was reused to a pitch of frenzy
against the dealers in original pack
ages and a vigilance committee was
appointed to keep close watch
on the movements of the agents who
dared to open q store. To show that
they were in dead earnest in the matter
sum of S25, 200 was pledged to fight the
battle of the committee through the
highest courts. This was no bluff, but
the men who put their names down are
able many times over to make good their
pledges. Tomorrow is set for the store
that the man who had the intention will
not be so foolish as to attempt it, for
while he may feel that the law is on his
side, he will not care to be sent to Mis-

feathers. The sentiment is so strong in
the town that only one lawyer could be
found who would accept retainer in ad-
vance from the agent. This lawyer
has already been made to feel that the
people will resent his action, for he has
been notified by all who have heretofore
employed him that they will seek other
counsel in the future. Here is the pro-

who have been imported to assist the
citizens in ferretriDg out these joints
have been run out of town, and one of
the most prominent saloon keepers of

Men Are Very Indignant.
Since the Allegheny Market Committee
declared that the curbstone and sidewalk

the space occupied at present by Italians
and other foreigners be given to farmers and
producers of garden stuff. there has been
some tall kicking by the street merchants
who must shortly pull up stakes

During lull in business last night the
sidewalk statesmen could be heard discuss
ing the matter among themselves, and from
the dark looks of their faces and the low
tones in which they spoke, they are not very
pleasantly disposed toward the officials who
are determined to oust them.

the first time in about II years, he said,
'that we have decided to stop the foreigners
from doing business on the market SIDE

The reason for this is more be-

it is a great nuisance, especially on

nominated HIM for State Senator, and Mr..
Andrews congratulated Mr.. Quay because
the Republicans OF Beaver county had NOM
mated him for Representative. Smiles and
cigars were exchanged. Beyond these COM
pllments no political gossip was exchanged.
Mr.. Quay conversed charmingly about the

Another visitor was Editor Bloss, of the
Titusville Herald. Mr.. Andrews said to
the reporters who called upon him that he
believed Mr.. Delamater would be nominal
