PoTTsvILLE, March 22--The people at
the county seat received bad scare over
the report that smallpox was in their
midst and have not altogether recovered
from it, 1t was found that the victim
was man residing on the Cressona road
and who had recently moved from Dan
Vile Thanks to the prompt and active
steps of Health Officer Hoskins, who, by
the way, is an old war veteran and for
merly resident of Shenandoah, the fears
of the people were soon dispelled. He
lost no time in enforcing the health
regulations required by the ordinances
and proved a strict disciplinarian.
All the leading Republican politicians
who want Office, and those who are back
ing them, are on their good behavior now.
No one would think for moment that
any dissension existed in the ranks.
Perhaps there is none, but before passing
an opinion on that point l prefer to wait
and watch Developments johnny
Shoener continues the favorite for Con
gress. Losch has been very busy of late
and can be seen frequently with W. Jack
Whitehouse, who is Sans best friend.
The latter was seen in confidential con-
versation with eX Sheriff McCabe the
other day and this has led to a report that
the two have hitched horses-McCabe to
work for Sans nomination for Congress
and Sam to put in his best licks for Nc
Cabe's nomination for Sheriff. A bicycle
made for two, as it were. But all this
may be unfounded rumor.
Brumm is still saving wood and saying
nothing, but r. II. Koch's friends are
doing quite the contrary. They are
hustling. "Dick" would like to be Judge
still he would not hesitate in accepting d
Congressional nomination.

day. 1t is difficult to forecast what viii
happen when the several factions meet
AS the committee is a double headed on,
| two calls have been issued and Kilkenny
| fight is looked for when the respective
| chairmen meet. Murt Quinn has a crow
to pick with Congressman Reilly and it il
said he will give that gentleman som'
trouble.
The new daily newspaper project her,
has developed a large number of idlt
newspaper men and printers. The county
seems flooded with them. Messrs. Finney
and Lawlor have hundreds of applica
tions and new ones come in with eacl
| mail.
Whist I'll give you something on the
strict O. T. Zerbey, of the Republican
was shocked and very much chagrineC
when he heard the result of the HERALI
trial. The verdict in that case was about
as near right as jury of twelve intelli
gent and disinterested men could get it
| The borough had no right to complain
Had its representatives attended to theil
| business by learning what the advertise
ment would cost before giving it to tn,
paper there would, in all probability
| have been no lawsuit in connection will
the matter. A mistake was made by th
borough officials, and there is no getting
away from that point. Mr. Burke, Shen
andoahs rising young lawyer, addet
another feather to his cap by the name
in which he conducted the case for tn
HERALD. The result was full vindica
tion for Mr.. Boyer.
