Tho outco.e OF q Republican Faction ErEhs

Tho OutcOne OF hepubNean Faction EtEht
In Jersey CITY.
II is rumored that the Hudson County Grand
Jury has found indictments against the election
officers who presided at Republican primary
IN the Seventh ward Of Jersey City last fall.
There are two Republican organizations in the
ward. the Minkawka Club and tho Republican
League. They are antagonists, and when one
organization nominates q candidate the other
knifes him. Last fall the Republican leaders
tried to bring tho two organizations together
and load them up to the muzxle with harmony.
The effort was failure. At the Joint primary
every thing went along smoothly enough until
Constable Bennett went to vote.
Bennett Is IA Republican from away back, but
his vote was challenged on tho ground that no
WAS not a Republican. He offered to swoar In
hts vote, but the election officers refused 90 re-
eeive ,,. The Republican LesEue, of which
Bennett lisa member, decided to lay the facts
before the Grand Jury and II Ia said that In
dictments have been found for violation OF the
Election law. The election Officers are John

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-04-10

When Doctor st. John established his
practice in Scranton he told the people that
he would introduce methods of curing
them of which they were uniformed.
He told the people that he came with
clearly defined purpose, to show by the
results in his own practice under his
personal care and attention the wonder
full value of the latest discoveries in
medicine when properly applied, and of
the marvellous results of his True
homeopathic Treatment for Catarrh.
He did not ask the people to take him
on faith. He told them that until April
1st he would treat all who came to his
offices absolutely free. He agreed not
only to doctor the sick, but to supply
them with medicine without cost as well.
How well Doctor st. John has kept his
promise the people of Scranton can tell.
eighteen hundred of our most intelligent
people have visited him, have consulted
with him in person, have received the
needed counsel and medicine, and over
800 sick people have already been cured
or much benefited.
The good he was doing had so spread
among the people that toward the last
the majority of those who consulted him
did so without regard to the free offer,
and only sought his aid because they

His Offices Are Permanent

To the majority of the people living in
Scranton the National reputation of Doc
tor st. John and the character of him as
Doctor has established an office which is
a permanent one In the city of Scranton.
There are, however some persons who
have had painful experiences in the way
Of physicians establishing temporary Of
fees in this city, and such people have
questioned whether Doctor St. John in
tended to stay or not. In order to an
swer these persons who doubt the per-
manency of Doctor st. Johns office and
to forever set at rest the question of
whether the office is going to be a per-
manent one or not, there is herewith
submitted letter from Mr.. L. j. Ly-
TIMES, who Is well acquainted with Doc
tor st. Johns reputation, and with the
fact that he has established and pro-
poses to continue his office practice in the
CITY of Scranton permanently.
The SCRANTON EVENING TIMES is
aware of the fact that Doctor st. John
is permanently located I'm Scranton, and
would not allow this to be, published If
II were not absolutely true
Doctor st. Johns offices are permanent,
His leases and contracts are for a term
of years, Doctor st. John Is himself in
charge OF his practice. He sees each one
OF his patients personally. He does not
leave his professional work to assistants
or hired men. All who visit his Offices
consult with him In person.

Says the Rochester Post Express:
THE question as to whether there will
be Sunday games here this year Is puz-
zlng and troubling the magnates of
the local team. They cOnCede that
there is no money in the game for them
unless they have games on Sunday.
The defeat of the Wilcox bill spoiled
their chance of playing without moles-
tation. This bill was designed to make
the penalty for Sunday playing a nne
of $50 for each offense, which really
amounted to a license fee, as this sum
would freely have been paid by the
magnates for the privilege of playing
The conditions now, with the Wilcox
bill defeated, are exactly the same as
prevailed last summer and the summer
before. when Sunday baseball flourish

public knows. But a stand has been
taken against playing the game on
the first daY of the week, the Young

having declared itself against the prac-
tice. Along in December the Big
Three received a communication from
the society which was in the nature
of a warning not to attempt Sunday
