United States Senator.
FAKE COMBINE" ORGANIZATION

League, Shows to be Senatorial Bar
gain Counter in the Interest of
Its Chief and Only Patron,
John wanamaker.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec s-The campaign
of hypocrisy and deceit which is being
waged in the interest of John Wanamaker
for United States senator is gradually be-
ing exposed The bogus business mem S
committee organized in his interest turns
out 60 be q coterie of self constituted po-
litical managers who are striving TO serve
their own selfish interests 1t is interest
ing to note the men who are backing Mr..
Wanamaker in this present campaign.
First and foremost we find Thomas Dolan,
one of the millionaires of the Quaker City,
who is identified with a score of monopo-
lies which have been Expressing the people
for many years and filling the Golfers Of
their selfish stockholders.
Mr.. Dolan Is one of the principal men in
the famous electric light trust, which
has monopoly Of electric lighting in
Philadelphia, and which, it is said,
squeezes million dollars a year out Of
the taxpayers Of Philadelphia-more than
is paid for the same service in other cities
OF the United States He is also actively
identified with the Pennsylvania Heat,
Light and Power company, which has
inst secured an exclusive franchise from
the hands of the combine, which controls
the city councils Of this boss ridden city.
He Is also conspicuous In the United Gas
Improvement company, which has CON
tract with the city, and which is giving
the residents of the city the worst gas
that has ever been supplied in it's long his
tory. His name Is also frequently men,
toned In connection with the Maloney
Lighting company which has a monopoly
Of the contracts for lighting the city sub
urbs with gasoline lamps. In addition to
nll this, Mr.. Dolan is one of the directors
and largest stockholders of the Union
Traction company, which is generally con-
ceded TO be the most offensive monopoly of
Its kind In the United States. IL has in
creased street car fare from five TO eight
cents and cut off all free transfers. The
people have held indignation meetings,
and have loudly protested at the extortion,
but all in vain. The corporation has a
monopoly of the street car privileges of the
town, and feel perfectly safe in acquiring
public sentiment. Mr.. Dolan is q worsn
personal friend of NV ''A'.'1.-0ttre the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9, 3p. m.-Tho deyel-
opments in the United States Senate this af
ternoon were of most sensational character
and have caused a stir in all the diplomatic
circles, especially in the Spanish circles
and the headquarters of the army and
navy.
Senator ]. Donald Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania, arose in his seat and introduced a
resolution providing that the independence
of Cuba be recognized forthwith,
Immediately after, Senator Mills, of Texas,
followed with joint resolution directing the
President of the United States to take
possession of Cuba forthwith and hold it
until the inhabitants can institute such
government as they may desire.
The outcome of the introductions is
awaited with the greatest interest and inn
patience and the prevailing belief is that
President Cleveland will be forced to bring
the Cuban question to a crisis.

OF the Cuban billigency is now agitating the
minds of the American people, but the recog-
milton of the people of Shenandoah is unani-
nous to the effect that Amandus Womer, 124
North Main street, has the finest and best
made stock of boots shoes and rubbers in
this locality and which he sells cheaper than
his competitors. WhyP Because he has no
rent to pay and buys only for cash, saving
10 per cent. on the paying of rent and 8 per
cent. discount in buying which benefits the
purchasers derive. He does not claim to sell
you at less than cost, but by considering the
above announcement one can readily see
that he can undersell others and still main
tain his profit. To convince the purchaser
we ask you to call and examine our stock
and compare our prices with others, and you
will find our statement true one. SaYe 10
per cent. of your purchase and remember the
place, A. WoMER,
