JEDOO NEWS.

The active hustle in politics which pre-
vailed at this place during last week has
settled down to solid determination on
the part of our Democratic brethren to
do unto others as they have been done
by" Judging from the talk of many of
the people of this district, it seems, they
are about tired of being turned down
and have concluded to stand it no longer.
After every convention there is rush
of candidates, or their friends, to this
place to smooth matters over and make
promises for the next year. This year
is no exception. On Thursday evening,
1t is said, two of the township magnates
from Drifton came here on the usual
mission, but instead of doing good only
added insult to injury. They had the
effrontry to dictate to this class of voters
their candidate for supervisor next year
and only two days previous looked upon
the delegates from this place, who were
at the convention, as something beneath
their lofty craftsmanship. 1t is not
necessary to establish a protectorate for
this district, as many of the people here
are voters, and if the Democratic cand-
dates in the township wish to be sue
cessful they had better as 81 IN these two
statesmen to some district where "sops"
have not been used before.
The young ladies who were having
such fun annoying the men coming home
from the depot the other evening should
remember in weather like this when the
air is filled with frost and germs of the
grip that the mouth should be kept
closed tightly. Much of their talk is
heard by parties for whom it is not in
tended. Be careful girls.
Hugh McMonigal, who had his leg
crushed by cars at No. 8 short time
ago, will not be around again for several
weeks. The injury is more serious than
supposed at first, though the wound is
healing
Peter Brsin is laid up on account of
sickness.
The company received two new locies
on Thursday which will be used for
hauling clay at the No. 2 stripping
Miss Furey, teacher in the intermedi-
ate school, has taken charge of the night
school for remainder of the term.
Mr.. Markle has an artist and decora-
tor employed in beautifying the interior
of his new mansion.
The old No. locie will be sent to
Hazleton shops for repairs this week
and that part of Oakdale mines in which
it hauls coal will be idle until its return.
1t will be away about three weeks.
The dogs of this place, it seems, are
not getting enough to eat at their res.
pective homes. To make up for this
decrease in rations they are pitching
into the goats. In the last ten days they
have killed no less than five and the
owners of the dogs should see that they
are given enough to eat or destroyed. A
goat may not be a very valuable animal
in some peoples estimation, but to those
who feed and shelter them, and perhaps
cannot buy milk, they are of no small
value in times like these. So feed your
dogs neighbors. SELARCH.

Scranton Counc'Imen in Trouble.

The Scranton Times accuses nine coun-
cilmen of that city of being bribed by
the railway, telegraph, telephone and
street railway companies to oppose an
ordinance fixing tax of so cents on
each pole erected by the organizations
with in the city limits. The council,
while in regular session, took the ordi-
nance providing for the paying Of this
tax from the committee, and by a vote
of to defeated it, The Times printed
the names of the nine councilmen in
large black type and dubbed them
rascals.

No Extra State License REQUIRED.

The habeas corpus hearing in the case
OF the Berks county treasurer against
William Calder, manager of company
of actors, for not paying $50 state license,
took place before Judge Endlich on Sat
urday. After hearing some testimony
showing that John Mishler paid a state
license for the theatre in which they
played, and that the plays are produced
under his contract, Judge Endlich rem
dered decision discharging Calder.
In his decision Judge Endlich said
when theatre is under the control of a
person who pays certain performers for
their services the exhibition is his and
not that of the troupe. Requiring the
payment of state license for each per-
formance would be an imposition amount
ing to practical prohibition of enter
tainments, and would keep the revenue
from the state that the act requires.

INCIDENTS or ARMY LIFE.

Unpleasant Social Experiences Sometimes
Experienced In Posts and Cnrriscns.
Notwithstanding tho fact that tho Off
GERS Of the American army are the very
pink Of courtesy. they sometimes in
post and garrison life have very unplcas-
ant social experiences. An officer in q
garrison is assigned quarters not accord
ing TO the necessities of his family, but
IN accordance with his rank.
1t therefore comes out quito frequent
ly when new officer is sent to a pose
that there are many changes Of quar-
ters, so as TO mako room for him. When
new major arrives, for instance, he
selects the quarters that suit him best
it matters not who occupies them, pro-
vidcd the occupant is below him in
rank He can turn out major lower
ON the list or any captain or lieutenant
and each of these when disposscssed can
choose for himself what quarters suit
him best If occupied by an inferior in
rank. Ono move, therefore, may mako
dozen others Tho women Of the ar

their rights than the men. But the mon

forms Of highest courtesy, sometimes

bottles so easily as handful of shot,

Dangerous Surgery.

instances appeared that partial or en-
tire deafness has followed operations,

is not uncommon. Conservatism Is gain

ed whenever there seems to be chance
