Saturdays Excursion.

The rain came down in torrents on
Saturday morning while the people were
going to the train to attend the firemen's
excursion. The outlook for day of
pleasure was most gloomy one, but
those who were determined to 90 never
wavered and seven cars were crowded
when the excursion started. Three
more cars, filled from end to end, left
shortly after, and until late in the after
noon every regular train from here to
the Glen was crowded with people who
could not resist the tempting sunshine
which appeared about II o'clock,
From the lower side the crowd was
almost as large, every town in the Le-
high and Schuylkill valleys sending dele
cations. Mauch Chunk, Lansford and
Summit Hill was well represented, and
nowhere in Pennsylvania could more
jollier gathering be found than was as
sembled on Saturday at Glen Onoko
DePierros music entertained those who
danced, and the mamoth pavilion was
continually filed. Everybody was out
for enjoyment and there is always
enough for all when the Citizeus' Hose
Company is in charge of the affair. All
honor to Freeland's firemen.

About Fire Protection.

Weatherly's council has refused an
offer from the water company of that
town to furnish the borough with fire
plugs and water for $50 year. This in
cludes all the plugs that may be neces-
sary for all time to come. The council
men, however, demand the water free,
and seem to be sustained in their position
by majority of the residents. They
claim the company paid nothing for its
franchise, and that it would only be
justice to furnish water without cost in
case of fire. Weatherly at present has
no protection of any kind.
The position of Freeland and the
water company here is quite different.
The orough pays $15 per year for the
use of fifteen plugs and water, making
1925. The area of this borough at
present is not one-half that of Weatherly
but will be doubled when the pending
petition for annexation is granted and
the town will then pay nearly twice
as much for water as it does now. From
this it may be seen that the people of
Weatherly are asking too much from
their water company or the people of
Freeland are paying too high for their
fire protection.

HIGHLAND DOTS.

Thomas J. Boyle was elected a dele
gate to attend the Democratic legislative
convention to be held in Hazleton to-
morrow.
A large number of our people attended
the firemen's excursion to Glen Onoko
on Saturday. They report having good
time.
Miss Lizzie Maloney, who has been
visiting here the past week, will return
to her home at Oneida to-day.
A great many people from this place
attended the funeral of John McGill.
who died in Florida, and was buried in
Hazleton on Saturday.
A few of our people went picking
blackberries last week, but were un-
successful owing to the crop being scarce.
However, some of them returned well
supplied with apples.
One of the most dangerous places to
be found anywhere for drivers of vehicles
is at the railroad crossing where the
stripping is being done. The bank of
clay and stones that has been thrown up
here by the contractors completely
obstructs all view of trains coming from
Freeland, and as they run very rapidly

Mintsrels in Wilkes-Barre.

Emerson's minstrels played at Wilkes
Barre on Thursday evening, and were
commented upon as follows by the Neecs-
dealer: A minstrel show, not a tragedy,
as the heading on the programme of the
good things served up by Emerson's
minstrels, fits the performance as a nut
does the nut shell. Although the aggre,
CATION played before not very crowded
house last evening, yet the audience was
an enthusiastic one, and the bursts of
applause elected by the songs, funny
things and other delectabe articles OF
the menu, were the best evidences Of
the show being taking one. The spe.
cialty people are men of experience and
ability and do some good turns. The
whole company is well put together and
will make money before the season is
over.
Connected with it are two Wilkes.
Barre boys, Austin Walsh and James
Crogan. Both are are hustlers and are
making things go. Billy Wright, for
merly of Wonderland, made quite a hit.

THE CONVENTION.
None of the Candidates Have Enough
Delegates to Win on the First Ballot.

None of the Candidates Have Enough
Delegates to Win on the First Ballot.
The Democratic legislature convention
| for the fourth district will be held to-
morrow at Hazleton. The primaries
were held on Saturday evening, and the
present standing of the candidates on
the first ballot, as computed by one of
the aspirants last evening, is as follows:
McNelis, 10; Riley, s; Myers, 6; Haas, 4;
Costello, 4, and Sheridan, 2. In letter
to the StaRddrd this morning Mr. Sheri-
dan withdraws from the contest in the
interest of harmony. His two delegates
will probably 60 to Riley, giving the
latter ten. In the above estimate there
are five delegates unaccounted for, but
no matter who gets them no candidate
will be able to control the convention
previous to the first ballot.
There is considerable speculation as to
how the delegates will vote after the
first ballot. The majority of the voters
on this side are confident Foster will be
given justice and that the nominee will
be Myers or McNelis. Others claim
that money will be freely used to-mor-
row, and that Hazleton will capture the
nomination by buying delegates. One
thing to be remembered by both candi-
dates and delegates is this: The actions
of the former and the votes of the latter
will be closely watched, and if there is
the slightest proof of Doodle in the con-
vention the nominee can prepare for an
overwhelming defeat.
The two candidates from this side are
honest, hard-working Democrats, un-
able and unwilling to compete in a con-
vention where the nomination could be
knocked down to the highest bidder.
There will be no money in the contest
from this side, but there will be men at
Hazleton tomorrow who want to see
every candidate stand upon his merits
and not upon the size of his pocketbook.
If the North Side is not given fair
show it can afford to wait until election
day. The Democrats at this end of the
district do not make any bluffs IN
politics. They mean what they say.
The Plltn Speaker this morning takes
an impartial view of the fight, and says:
1.-THE statesmen on the North Side
have served notice that if they don't
get the representative in to-morrow's
convention that they will make other
people hustle at the election. Their
warning cannot be made light of, for
they have on several occasions carried
out that which they threatened to do.
Foster township lays claim to
the nominee because this side had the
nomination two years ago and failed to
elect their candidate. The FREELAND
TRIBUNE, in an article quoted by the
PLAIN Speaker on Saturday, gives timely
warning that the North Side cannot be
ignored in this fight"

A Hungarian wedding at Shutdown,
which begun on Saturday, collapsed four
days later ON account of an unfounded
rumor. The original supply had run
out, and the groom, to do matters ac-
cording to the custom, went to Hazleton
to have the order duplicated. lis fail
ing to return at the proper time caused
an uneasiness, and report that he had
been killed on the railroad rack caused
the wedding party to disperse in quick
and finding the place deserted, even Of
his wife's presence, he concluded to end
his honeymoon by hanging himself to a
tree close by, but unfortunately he was
prevented from so doing by some parties
who had more love for the poor district
than they had for the coroner.-Sentinel.

What Indians Worship.

The natural confguration of many
mountains suggests the human face,
and such physiognomies cut out Of the
rocks on gigantic scale are commonly
regarded by savages as objects Of wor-
ship. Ellen Russell Emerson says that
the Thunder Bird of the Thlinkits is de-
scribed by them as giant man dwell
ing in the sacred hills. When in want
of food he provides himself with pair
of wings and mask in the shape Of a
birds head, the latter having beak as
sharp as knife and "a tongue that
makes fire"
Thus arrayed the god spreads his
wings and sails over the ocean in search
of whale. By his side and attached to
his waist is the lightning demon, which
darts upon the prey and fetches it to the
hungry god.-Washington Star.
