facts. The fact is the preliminsries are OIL
ready in the hands of the p. & r. Q. & L.

ing developments. But the Snetos may
rely on it, that the matter will not be srbi
t7ated in the customary South Main street
saloon rendezvous.

Point number two--for the people. The
S1e1s is the professed friend of the
aboring man and miner. Professed, l
say, for it is nothing more. Now aside
from calling attention to the fact that the
s neaoS is slapping at the HERALD because
the HERALD is slspping at the abortion
| company stores, let Us call attention to an
incident that developed during the HER
AIDS fight gainst the Lost Creek store.
0ne day gentleman prominently iden-
tilted with the latter institution called at
the HERALD office, and after placing upon
| a desk pocketbook bulging with green
| backs, said he would like to secure two
columns of the HERALD at its own price,
and also desired 10 haye considerable job
work done. The gentleman was decisiVely,
but firmly, told that the HERALD was not
for sale. A few days later the S neios pub
lished two columns of company store
matter.
The street and law committees of the
| Borough Council were to have met the
parties interested as the principals and
witnesses in the case of Constable Phillips
against the borough last night but the
meeting was postponed at the last moment
to tomorrow evening, when the Borough
Council will bold a regular meeting. Mr..
Phillips claimed damages against the
borough for not having the street in front
of his residence properly drained. The
c lse will be an interesting one.

rise TO correct false idea hsrbored by
some of our townsmen and some who are
not our townsmen. They are people
whose sense of pride leans towards Nah
snoy City and who are ready to jump up
and cheer for that town on all occasions
when they deem it proper to do so. These
people are now boasting that the choir
singers of this town were snnihilated by
the singers of Mahsnoy City. This is not
the fact. Shenandoah had neither choir or
glee club at Lakeside on Monday. 1t is
true that few, and very few, too, singers
of town were in the combined VIM. Penn
choir, but that organization was not made
a Shenandoah competitor on that account.
Some of the singers in the Mshsnoy City
societies are also residents of Shenandoah
-
A young woman of Luzerne county has
had her lover arrested for attempting to
hug her, while they were out buggy riding.
The magistrate was greatly puzzled over
the case, as it was something not provided
for in the statute books, but he finally con-
cluded to bind over the young man to keep
the peace. This seemed satisfactory TO the
fair plaintiff and ought to prove etfectual
in debarring the defendant from any
further demonstrations. What effect it
will have on other young men will remain
to be seen. 1t is to be feared, however
that the demand for livery horses that can
be driven with one hand will be totally
annihilsted, at least in that section of the
country. Young men will only be per-
fectly sale from all temptations by engag-
ing horses that require constant attention
and the use of both arms.

1t is said that one of the electioneerers
for Jimmy" Reilly, of town, the DEM
ocratic candidate for the.Legislature in this
district, has assured him that Hszleton is
all aight and New Philadelphia will be in
line next week.
