Our Neigbbors Down the Valley,

tinual round of kicking and braying
was never before heard on this side of
the Moosics." Then to add the last
straw to the already overburdened
back Of a patient crowd. the Scran-
tonians kicked on a decision Of the um-
pire, picked up their bats and started
for home amid the scorchingsjeers Of a
Honesdale crowd of men, women, boys
and girls. An act of this manner was
not expected from team Of the Young
Mems Christian association Of Scran-
ton, and 1t Is sincerely hoped that they
will be given the opportunity of re-
trieving themselves in the eyes of a
Honesdale audience.
Charles Colebath, fireman at the sta

Tho Mutilated Asphalt.

Every week new holes are chopped
Into the asphalt streets and none Of the
old ones are. being repaired. 1t is
shameful the way the handsome and
extensively paved streets of this city
are being mutilated. It IL to be expected
that in a city like this where all man
ner Of supply pipes are under the pave.
It becomes necessary at times to break
through to make repairs, but II may
also be reasonably expected that when
this Ia done all damage be repaired as
speedily and as perfectly as possible.
Nearly every asphalted street in
Wilkes Barre has been full Of holes Of
all sizes for months, and they are not
even filled with ashes or cinders to level
them with the surrounding surface.
Attention has again and again been
called to this shameful negligence. At
least two persons have been severely
hurt by being thrown from their bicy-
cles in riding Into these holes at night.
1t Is a wonder that the city has not
been mulcted in damages.

BASE BALL ENTHUSIASM.
The wilkes.B Barre Lovers Of the Game
Greatly Elatcd.

The Wilkes. Barre Lovers Of the Game
Greatly Elatcd.
The Wilkes-Barre club has made
magnificent record up to this time.
The winning of three straight games
from the Scranton club was all that
was necessary. to raise Wilkes-Barre
enthusiasm to the top-notch. Next to
the rapid upward climbing Of the local
club nothing could have so much added
to the pleasure Of the base ball lovers
Of this town as has the toboggan slide
Of the Scranton club. As the Wilkes
Barre club ascended the Scranton club
descended. The proverbial rivalry of
the two towns will break out even In
80 trivial a matter as base ball. The
local club is being exalted to the skies,
and all manner Of good-natured fun
poked at Scranton. Later In the sea-
son, when the reaction sets in, and
the Wilkes-Barre club goes toboggan-
ing and the Scranton club goes a bal
looming, what howl there will be at
this end Of the line!
For the time being Wilkes-Barre is
within sight Of the head Of the col
unln. This condition of things Is very
much enjoyed here, but 1t is too good
to continue. The season is young yet
and even Scranton base ball clubs have
sometimes. shown the recuperating
powers 80 characteristic Of the Electric
City.

one horse fell the team was quickly

COURT HOUSE BIDS.
They Closed Yesterday and Only Five
We're Offered.

They Closed Yesterday and Only Five
We're Offered.
How little interest has been taken in
the new court house farce the county
commissioners have been playing is
shown by the fact that yesterday noon,
when the bids were closed only five had
been received. The bidders are Wilson
]. Smith, OF Wilkes-Barre; Allen Wal
ton, of Hummelstown, Pa; John f.
Coots, of Omaha; Burnett Record COM
pany, of Minneapolis, and Henry
Schenck G. Son, Of Pittsburg. Each Of
the bidders gave certified check for
per cent. of the amount of his bid.
The county commissioners were in
session with their counsel during the
afternoon, but finally announed that
they would give no publiity to the bids
before next Monday. Neither from the
commissioners nor from the bidders
could anything be learned as to the
amount OF any of the bids. No inter-
est attaches to yesterdays proceeding.
The commissioners are enjoined from
accepting amy Of the bids and all they
can do II to examine them and await
tihe further action Of the court. The
whole business has dwindled to the pro-
portions Of q flrst-class farce.

POLITICAL POINTS.

A prominent Republican Of Hazleton
was In the city esterday and In the
course of q talk on county politics re-
marked that probably the lower end
would not present any candidate for
places on the Republican county ticket
this year. At least he had not heard
of any one in that section who aspired
to such honors. He did think, how
ever, that Hazleton would ask for one
of the delegates to the next national
convention and thought that section
was entitled to the recognition, and
could get 1t If the demand were made
In the right spirit and with insistance.
There will not be less than a dozen
candidates for the Republican nomina-
every section Of the county will be rep
resented. For the other county offices
to be filled there will be an equally
lively demand. Candidates are spring
Ing up in every direction. The Repub-
lican successes in recent years have
cultivated lively appetite for the good
places in the court house.
Hon. John M. Garman, who repre-
sents the dominant faction OF the
Pennsylvania Democracy in Luzerne
county, will not only be one Of the dele
gates to the next Democratic national
convention, but he will also designate
who shall be his colleague from this
district In view of this fact goodly
number Of prominent Democrats are
cultivating the good graces of the ex-
district attorney and friend Of National
Chairman Harrlty.
The most quiet Democratic politician
in Luzerne county just now is ex-Con-
gressman Hines. He is not saying
word, at least for publication. but
1t IS believed he is doing a good deal
of thinking and planning for the fu-
ture.
Up-to-date Isaac Livingston and Il.
+. Bogert are the only candidates for
postmaster OF Wilkes-Barre actively
in the field. Mr.. Bogert has a news
paper of his own to back him up, while
Colonel Boyd OF the News-Dealer, will
champion Mr.. Livingston. It has been
lntimated that at the proper time Major
j. Ridgeway Wright will appear as
candidate, and If he does he will make
a lively fight for 1t.
Editor Tubbs, of the Mountain Echo,
Is frequently mentioned as probable
candidate for the legislature in his dis
trict next year. He would rather have
gone to Harrisburg as the first Repre-
sentative of Grow county, but since
there is to be no Grow county, he might
be prevailed upon to represent a piece
Of good old LuZerne.

RUN DOWN THE BURGLARS.
The Gang Operating in This City Should
Be Captured.

DC Captured.
Almost every night one or more
houses are entered by burglars, and
there Is no longer any doubt that there
is a gang Of reckless criminals located
here. A determined effort should be
made to capture them. There Is some
evidence that they are not profession
ais. and 1t Is not improbable that the
thieves reside here. But whatever their
status as criminals. they are desperate
and reckless and IL possible should be
halted In their career. They are not
merely burglars but incendiariesa as well,
as Is shown by the numerous buildings
that have been fired within the past
week. The police Of this city are prob
ably of average vigilance, but up to
this time they have not been able to
accomplish anything. The incendiary
fires have been discovered and extin-
guished by private citizens, and such
burglaries as have been nipped In the
bud and made abortive was also the
work Of others than the police. The Of
ficers should keep sharp eye on the
houses where criminals are likely to
congregate. There are a number of
such houses In Wilkes+Barre. If the
police are unable to properly cover the
ground then detectives should be en-
ployed. Burglars and dncendiaries are
two dangerous classes of criminals, and
they are plying their trade to an alarm
ing extent in WilkesBarre at this time.

The Amity Base Ball club defeated
the Second Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION club of Scranton on Memorial
Day. Score, 15 to 10. 1t is not usually
considered In good taste to call down q

the Electric City did not have on their
best behavior. The Wayne Independent
rather forcibly says that such q con-
