Not What was Expected.

Ora j. Gould. the humorist. who de-
livered the second lecture OF the course
for the Reynoldsville Lecture Associa-
tion i'm Centennial Hall last Thursday
evening, did not met the expectations
Of the people, because he had been high
ly recommended and he proved himself
to be very common lecturer. He was
''cracked-up" by the Lecture Bureau
from whom he was engaged, to have
gained a good reputation in the South.
where he has been doing his lecturing,
as humorist man. His smile won the
children before he uttered word. He
said some good things, made the people
smile and evinced some oratorical abili-
ty, yet he did not come up to what was
expected Of him. The lecture committee
were as much disappointed as any one
else. The Lecture Association, which
is composed Of seven men, did not re-
ceive sufficient encouragement from the
people to engage four high priced lee
turers, and for that matter did not re-
ceive much encouragement TO hire any
high priced men, but at a risk OF being
out Of pocket ten dollars apiece, they en-
gagged three first-class lecturers whom
they knew were good men and hired
one cheap man, who was well recon-
mended and Ora ]. Gould was the
cheap man. On that account general
admission tickets were sold at twenty
five cents and the school children were
admitted for ten cents. The next two
lecturers are high priced men who are
known to be good, and all general ad-
mission tickets will be thirty-fve cents.
Many of the scholars embraced the ten
cent opportunity anG were there with
"both hands" and an extremely noisy
whistle which they let loose two or three
times.

s. S. Convention.

The sixth semi-annual meeting Of the
Washington Township Sunday School
Association held at Sandy Valley last
Saturday proved to be one Of the best
meetings ever held by the Association.
The speakers were all present save
those on the program from Reynolds
vile and they were conspicuous by
their absence. A good interest was
manifested and the topics were discussed
in an able manner. Excellent music
was furnished by an orchestra from
Coal Glen. 1t was a profitable meeting
for all who took the time TO attend.
The next meeting will be held at Grove
Summit. The good people of Sandy Val
ley had made preparations to appease
the appetites of all those who attended
the convention, and they succeeded ad-
mirably,

mail to each of its patrons postal card
notifying them of the amount of gas
consumed by them during the previous

On the Swanee.

A. B. Weed one day last week causal-
ly dropped into several business places
and remarked that sit was TO bad about
the three members of the Prescottville
band being drowned" He never had to
wait long for some one TO ask chow did
it happen?" Then the joker would
explain, without smile, that the band
was playing "Away down on the Swanee
River" and the ice broke.

Under q Sled.

Little Minnie Mcpherson narrowly
escaped serious injury or sudden death
before school time last Friday morning.
She was hanging onto a sled box In the
middle of a pair of 'bobs' and the driv-
or did not notice her and was driving
his team at a lively trot when Minnie
let go her hold to get of and she fell
under the sled and one runner caught
her across the breast and pushed her
over the ice and snow ten or fifteen feet
before the driver could get his team
stopped. The little girl was badly
frightened, but escaped uninjured. We
witnessed the mishap and were not the
least surprised, because we have been
expecting to chronicle some sad acci-
dent as a result of jumping on or of
sleds, as IL is practiced by so many school
children, even little "tots" follow the
example of the older ones. II is useless
to devote space in advising the boys
and girls TO desist from such practice,
for they, like older people who indulge
in the dangerous practices Of life, each
one think that they are smart enough
to climb sleds, but 1t is not safe for
others to attempt it. When boy or girl
loses an arm or leg, or are nicely dressed,
their cold face wet with mothers hot
tears, tightly boxed up and planted
four feet deep in the frozen ground.
then il is too late To take advice.

Republicans can cut this ticket out, carry
it with them to the polls and use it to assist
them in marking their ballots.
The voter should also remember that he has
no right under the law to mark out any
name upon the ballot nor cover a name with
"sticker" unless a candidate has died or
withdrawn after the ballots are printed and
a substituted nomination is made. He can
thus use 'sticker' which must be pasted
over the name Of the deceased or withdrawn
candidate. Under no other circumstances
can "stieker' be used.
The only difficulties in the use of the new
ballot will be those which arise from an at
tempt to vote mixed or scratch ticket. As
has been shown, the party man who votes only
the straight ticket cannot 60 wrong if he
makes his mark in the circle at the top of the
party ticket and stops there. 1t is the man
who wants to cut his ticket who is likely to
invalidato his ballot if he is not very careful.
When a voter intends to cut his ticket he
should steer clear of the circle, for if he
makes a mark in the circle he has voted for
as many candidates as he is entitled to vote

AN INQUEST
No Clue to the Idenuty.of the Murdered
Infant

Last night Deputy Coroner Manley and
jury met to investigate the circumstances
which led to the death of the girl baby
which was found near the Polish cemetery
last week. The inquest was not successful
one, as some very important witnesses failed
to put in an appearance, among them a mid o.
wife who it is thought can throw some light
on the affair.
Two grave diggers from the Polish ceme o.
tery were examined and they related the
manner in which the body was discovered,
their statements being substantially the same
as set forth in the HERALD on the day the
body was found, there being no new develop
meuts.
Dr. Spalding was also examined and con %
irmed the statements previously made: that
the child had evidently been foully dealt
with; that it's neck and left jaw were broken,
and the child had been dead about four
weeks
The inquest was adjourned until next
Thursday evening, when the important
witnesses viii be required to attend.

called at the house that Mrs. Ochs had gone
to Pottsville to seek some help from her
deceased husbands relatives towards defray-

1t will be observed that there is cross
mark in the circle at the head of the Re.
publican column and a cross opposite Judge
name. The mark in the circle is
a vote for every candidate on the Republican
ticket, so that in marking Judge Thompson's
name the voter would be voting for two can
didates for Judge of the Supreme Court in
stead of one The ballot, therefore, would be
counted for every candidate on the Republi-
can ticket except Judge Fell. 1t would not
be counted at all for Judge Of the Supreme
Court

fuse the voter. The method of voting by
groups has been dispensed with, and under
the new form of ballot the voter can, with
one cross mark vote the entire ticket of his
choice. 1t will, therefore, only be necessary
for the voter to forget the old method of
voting.
The old form of ballot, it will be remem-
bered that the candidates of the various
parties arranged in groups, with the party
appellation above each group-that is, state
officers were in one group with the words
Republican and Democratic at the head :;
county officers in another group and city
officers in still another group To vote a
straight ticket a voter had to make as many
marks as there were groups If he wished
to cut candidate in the city group he could
vote the state and county groups with a
single cross mark opposite the party name at
the head of each Of those groups and then
mark opposite the name of the candidates in
the city group for whom he desired TO vote.
HOW TO VOTE A STRAIGHT TICKET.
Under the new form of ballot the method
Of voting ia changed to this extent. There is
circle at the head of each ticket and the
party appellaton appears under the circle
with the names of the candidates aud the
designation of the office beneath the party
name. To vote the straight Republican or
Democratic ticket, or in other words for every
candidate of either of these parties, or any
other party which has ticket upon the bal
lot, it is only necessary to mark cross mark
lX) in the circle above the column of such
party. This single mark or cross will be
equivalent to a cross markagainst every name
in the column, and will be counted as one
vote for each candidate named in that col.
umn. 1t is also possible to vote a straight
ticket by putting cross mark opposite the
name of each candidate upon the ticket.
That, however takes more time, and there is
danger of missing name, while the mark in
the circle accomplishes the same purpose, and
there is no possible danger of missing a can
didate Here is a condensed form of the bal
lot marked so as to vote for every candidate
on the Republican ticket:

"THE KIND THAT CURES"


The work on the electric railway continued
at a rapid rate to-day and commenced making
the grade of the track in accordance with
that of the street irrespective of the true
grade. Several property owners ON East
Centre street to-day expressed themselves as
pleased with the change, so it is quite likely
that the complaint made to Council last night
will be dropped. The navvies have now
passed the Reading railroad crossing, and by
to morrow night they viii pass the Indian
Ridge breaker and the tracks aud sills will be
laid almost to the east end Of Centre street.
BY the middle of next week the East Centre
street line will be ready for the cars, but, of
course, there will be no traffic over if till the
whole line is complete. The Lakeside
Electric Railway Company has opened an
office in the post office building.

the course of the public road at the east end
of Centre street. so as to run it over the p d
r. @. q /. Company's land and south of the
electric line. Fmuoy said the new road will
be much better than the old one. 1t will
have a grade of about r per cent, while the
grade of the present road is 10 per cent. The
request was granted
Mr. Finney then made a proposition to
have the electric railway track laid according
10 the present grade of the track, and Council
accepts the proposition Of the company to lay
tine track at the existing grade whether it
he the true grade or not and if at any time
this Council requires the Lakeside Railway
Company to lay its tracks according to the
true grade it shall be done by the Lakeside
Railway Company at its own expense, and
