At Yannes' opera house the fair of
the Citizens Hose Company will be
opened this evening. For several days
past the firemen have been arranging
the numerous articles, and the result Of
their work has transformed the spacious
hall into bower of beauty. Many
valuable and handsome articles, both
ornamental and useful, are ready to be
exhibited. The people of town have re-
sponded with good will and cheerful
ness to the request of the solicitors, and
the donations have surpassed all expec-
tations.
Visitors to the fair on the opening
night will be entertained by st. Patrick S
cornet band. On Friday evening the
Keystone Company, of McAdoo, will be
present and enliven the hall with their
presence. On Saturday evening the
Mayberry band will supply the music
and the HazletOn East End Company will
attend in body.
this evening to the 3Oth inst, special
program will be arranged for the enter
tainment of those who attend.
Visitors should not fail to cast their
ballots, which will be given them at the
ticket office, for the most popular lady
school teacher A beautiful diamond
ring is the prize which will be presented
to the lady who receives the largest
number of votes. Already this contest
has started friendly rivalry among the
admirers of several teachers.

Police May Have Fees.

Judge Schuyler, presiding specially in
Luzerne common pleas court, handed
down an important decision on Tuesday.
The decision was based on an act pro-
hibiting policemen of this state from
charging, accepting any fee, or other
compensation in addition to their salary,
except as public rewards and mileage
for travelling expenses.
Under the act County Controller Lloyd
refused to pay any witness fee to police
men during attendance at court, serv-
ing subpoenas, etc. and in order to
test the law Policeman John w. Jones,
of WilkCSbarre, brought suit against
the controller to compel him to pay.
Judge Schuyler decides that police
man, while acting as witness, does so,
not in his official capacity, but as pri-
yate citizen, and is therefore entitled to
witness fees and compensation for other
duties apart from his regular work as
policeman. Judge Schuyler also finds
that policemen are not entitled to pay
for serving mayors subpoenas or taking
prisoners to the county Jail.

Rabbit Season Over.

The rabbit season ended Yesterday
The heavy rains of the past few days
disappointed many hunters who had ex-
pected to have one good days hunt
before the season closed. The Freeland
men, however, have no reason to com
plain. They have had one OF the best
seasons for some years and the stock of
game brought home on the average tour
was quite large. The hunters are also
well pleased with the fact that no seri-
Gus accidents occurred in the woods.
There were many narrow escapes, but
the sportsmen managed to avoid harm
ing one another by reckless shooting.
One of the miShaps of the season oc-
Cured yesterday in Sandy valley. The
large creek in the swamp near Pond
Creek was swollen by the rains, and in
crossing the stream after rabbit, Julius
Dusheck, of town, slipped from the log
which serves as bridge and fell into
the water. Burdened with dozen or
more rabbits and heavy suit of hunt
ing clothes and boots, the young man was
swept along by the rushing waters and
for awhile it looked as if he would be
drowned. With desperate effort he
finally reganed his footing and waded
out of the creek thoroughly soaked
Julius was around again last night and
appeared none the worse after his chill
ing bath.

From the Wilkesbarre Newsdealer.
EX-Congressman Leisenring has rea-
son to feel out of sorts at the lack of
cordial support given his candidacy for
governor by the Republican press Of
Luaerne. Not a single one of the Re-
publican papers are booming or aiding
his candidacy in the slightest degree.
On the contrary in a mean underhand-
ed way they are sandbagging him with
other Luzerne men, and pointing out
their availability and strength.
The Gazette of Pittston is even meaner
yet than either the Times or Sentinel, as
the editor of that sheet goes up into
Susquehaanna county and trots out that
ancient antedeluvian, Galusha Grow, in
preference to sustaining home candi-
date.
Certainly if Mr.. Leisenring succeeds
in his ambition he will be under no OBJ
legation to the party press of the county,
for they have endeavored to iniure and
cripple him in every way possible.

Professor c. b. Cochran, chemist to
the State Board of Agriculture, is pre-
pairing an elaborate report upon candies
wholesome and otherwise-as sold all
through the state. The professor has
examined great many samples of candy
of every variety, and finds that the color
ing most largely used by the manufac-
tnrers is composition of coal tar.
The analysis are not being made with a
view to instituting prosecutions at this
time, but for the purpose of eventually
suppressing the sale of all candies detri-
mental to the health of the users.
