is for $40, ,360.39, another IS, 5S5 81 and
the third for IS, 900, total of nearly

sional Honors This Year.

Congressman LeiSenring has informed
his friends Of the twelfth congressional
district that he will not be a candidate

that important personal interests will
demand his continued attention for
some time and will not permit him to
engage in active politics this year. At
the adjournment of congress he will
prepare for trip to Europe.
Mr.. LeSenring had no opposition for
denomination. His withdrawal will pre-
cipitatc lively fight in the district, as
many prominent Republicans have been
anXiously waiting his decision in the
matter, not caring to enter the field
until something definite was known.

nomination: Morgan b. Williams,
Colonel Will Harvey, Wilkesbarre;
George Ferris, Plttston; Gaius L. Hal
sey, White Haven, and Charles Wilde,
