Freeland is preparing for big Fourth
of July. 1t is the hope of every one
that the weather and the arrangements
will be such on that day as to enable
them to have what they expect. Plain
Speaker.
Freeland promises to outdo herself in
the matter of a monster demonstration
on the Fourth of July. The progressive
and enterprising citizens of that lively
borough make success of everything
they ndertake.-Neaosdeale
Freeland hopes to attract a $40, 900
shoe factory to that town, and is already
jnbliant over the prospects for boom.

Suicide of n Miser.

John Boettcher, seventy-two years old,
of Wilkes Barre, committed suicide,
while worrying over lost opportunity
of becoming rich. Three weeks ago he
sold large barren tract of land on the
mountain to spectators for $500 and
then learned that coal had been dis
covered under it, making it worth $751;
600. He was a miser and had driven
his family from the house, being afraid
that they would steal his $500, which he
always carried in gold on his person.
When he discovered that he might have
been a rich man had he kept the land,
he loaded an old army musket, placed it
against his heart and shot himself.

School Exhibition at Eckley.

The pupils of the Eckley grammar
school closed the term with an exhibition
consisting of short drama, recitations,
dialogues and music. The school house
was so filled that even standing room
was not obtainable. Every part of the
programme was very creditably render
ed and no one appeared on the stage
who did not meet with hearty applause
at the close of their rendition. n.-iStandard.

Passed Into Ancient History.

One of our most popular exchanges
says that "if newspaper never makes
anyone real mad it's poor excuse for a
newspaper, and the editor who writes
for it is certainly not only worthless to
the community, but is in ninety-nine
cases out of one hundred stumbling
block to the progress of the town. The
day of the editor who is afraid of Offend
ing anyone in community has passed
into ancient history according to progress
sive towns"

THOSE PNKUmATIo sULKIES.
Some of the Advantages Over the Old
style Gigs For Trottlng.

Some of the Advantages Over the Old
style Gigs For Trottlng.
Eyes, these new-fangled sulkies are a
great institution" said well-known
| horseman over On the State Fair
Grounds, yesterday.
These new machines have appeared
here this year for the first time, and
people have wondered just where the
advantage laid.
''You see" said the horseman, "the
old style wooden wheel in its lightest
form weighed forty-two pounds, but a
ffty-pound sulky was more generally
used. The new wheel is superior in
many ways, and the past four weeks
campaign has demonstrated its superb
GRITTY in unexpected directions.
The wheel track made by an old
style Sulky at speed is often several
| times the width Of the tire. Frequent
ly the wheels will slip several inches.
All this has an appreciate bearing on
the speed of the horse. The rubber
| tire does not slip, and the driver has
no need to lean over on one side to
keep an even keel, but can negotiate
the turn at full speed and sit perfectly
square. There is none of the incessant
conclusion or vibration OF the seat
which has sooner or later broken down
so many drivers. Some drivers esti-
mate that a pneumatic Sulky is three
seconds faster than the old style. 1t
was argued against the hollow tire that
if IL was struck, say oy the hOof Of q
horse following close behind, the tube
would burst. at sometimes happens"
Great as is the improvement TO date
a still better sulky is promised.
1.-THE great superiority Of the broad
tire over its narrow steel competitor, in
negotiating the turns on mile track,
is so evident and so fully corroborated
BY ell who have ridden In them that
considerable curiosity is aroused as TO
the result when they are used on g half
mile track, with its eight curves to the
mile. Very few horses have ever beaten
2:2O over half mile ring, but when the
bicycle strikes such good half mile
tracks as Waverly and Trenton, it is a
safe prediction that the list will be con-
siderabIy augmented.
According TO the maker who has
bought the right TO supply the new ma
chine the day is not far distant when
pne-wheel sulkies will be in use. All
that is needed TO make this feasible, so
he says, is a stiff harness that will not
slip at any point. 1t will run on the
same principle as a hoop"

A BANK ROBBED.
A SACK CONTAINING THREE HUNDRED AND
FORTY DOLLARS
Taken From the Bank of the Ohio Valley Last
Wednesday EVsning-The Question Is:
Who Got the Money?

It has developed within the past day
or two that we had bank robbery IN
the town last week, along with the
State Fair and other attractions.
The afflicted institution was the Bank
of the Ohio Valley, and the amount
missing and as yet unaccounted for Is
S340.Os
This is not q large sum, as bank ROD
berries 90, but it Is enough to cause
good deal of worry to several OF those
connected with the institution, and to
put two or three people under serious
suspicion until the matter can be cleared
up.
All the money taken was in silver ana
small change, and was contained In
canvas bag. The bag and contents
were carried off at sometime between b
and s o'clock on Wednesday evening,
under circumstances as yet good deal
befogged. 1t appears, from what can
be learned of the affair, that the money
was all placed in the bag at the close OF
business Wednesday afternoon, and was
placed on desk or table 10 be locked
ND In the vault In due season. There
was a meeting of the Board of Direct
ors that afternoon, ana IN
the course of the extra
amount of business devolving upon the
force behind the railing on this account,
the bag was overlooked, and the vault
was closed without the silver having
been placed inside of it. The last OF
the clerical force left the bank about
six o'clock in the evening, and he is said
to have declared that everything was
right when he took his departure. On
the other hand, the colored janitor Is
reported to have said that when he ar
rived at the institution one OF the doors,
either the front one, on Twelfth street,
or the rear door, was open, and be saw
nothing of package OF money.
The loss was thus not discovered until
Thursday morning when the bank was
opened. Sheriff Steenrod was at once
communicated with and was made ac-
quainted with the facts so far as
known, and about IL o'clock that morn
ing the attention OF the police was
called to the matter. Nothing in the
way Of making an arrest has been done,
however, and the matter has been al
lowed to drift along until this time. 1t
is the theory of some that someone con-
nected with the bank took the money
and that it has been stored away,
waiting for the matter to elbow
over" while others, having in mind the
janitor's allegation that the door was
found open, and remembering that
there were great many strangers In
the city, think some sneak thief may
have noticed the unfastened door,
walked in, and helped himself to the
bag. One OF these two theories must
be true, but which Is the right one can
not as yet be determined. 1t is passing
strange, that the open door, said TO
have been discovered by the janitor,
was not reported to some one in author
ity about the bank.
