eCkLEY TOPICS.

Eckley people are very much disap-
pointed at the Freeland council in doing
away with that part OF the ordinance
which would compel the Traction Com
pany TO extend their tracks to this town.
We waited over a year for the council
to give us this road and when the news
came yesterday of the result several
We're heard to say they will buy in
IIazleton after this. The merchants of
of F'reeland would find it Of more bene-
fit to them If they had taken more pains
to have that part kept in the laws, than
to be in such a hurry to have the road
run further up the town. The advan-
tages to FreeIand in having the road
rnnning in here should have been given
some consideration by the council Eek
ley's population depends largely on Free
land for its supplies, and this with the
trade OF Halle Brook and Buck Noun
tain, which travels through here, would
put many hundreds of dollars into the
Golfers Of the Freeland business houses,
provided there were means of easy ac-
cess to and from the town. As it is the
people Of Eckley find it is not so easy to
wall, to Freeland as it IS 80 walk to jed
do, and by goiug to Jeddo they can take
the trolley car to Hazleton for tho same

People Starving in Nebraska,

The TRIBUNE has received a copy of
the Weekly Tribune, of Galloway,
Nebraska, which is published in the
heart of the drouth-stricken section of
that state. That the people there are
in poor circumstances is shown by the
paper referred to. 1t is printed on the
clean side OF wall paper, having only a
single siX-column page. 1t is the most
striking illustration of hardship ever
seen, and the editor makes a fervant
appeal to brother publishers to supply
him with white paper. There are over
$1,000 people in that county alone who
are on the verge of starvation, and aid
of any kind cannot be sent them too
quickly,

The county commissioners have re-

they Inspected many courthouses, They
have decided to build one at probable
cost of 100000 on the site of the present
building, the court having sustained the

building away from the Public Square
Contracts for tearing down the old struc-

let In short time, and the work of con-
struction will begin some time in spring
The material will be decided upon in a
few days, but it will probably be speck-

Such are the plans OF the commission
ers, but before any work is done an in
junction will be asked for, it is said, to
prevent them from carrying out the
plans Tho county does not own the
land upon which the courthouse now
stands, and any citizen of the state can
protest against it using it for new
one, Hhe new county people will fight
the new courthouse, and several citizens
who want it in some other part of
Wiikes-Barre will also oppose it. Be-
tween the two new courthouse may be

building of Edmond, O. T., on Sab
bath evening, Dec. sth, inst. The
audience which greeted him was large
and appreciative. AS the chief repre-
sentative OF a stroug denominatian., 1t
was but reasonable to suppose that he
would take a subject in the line of his
prc fession, especially on the Sabbath
day. His subject was, THE lnfalli-
biiity of the Church and the Pope.
The distinguished bishop stated that
he had no desire to offend any one
who might differ with him. and, 1T
must be said to his credit, that he
handled this delicate subject with
degree of historic fairness and impair
tiality that was commendable. The
| auditorium was crowded TO its utmost
capacity, and the eloquent lecture OF
II this eminent bishop was well received
and appreciated. Music by the brass
band constituted part of the program
The exercises opened with the Lord
Prayer recitea in concert by the audi
ence, led by Rev. Allen, OF the Metho
dist church.
