Prospects--Return to BE Received
at tHeadquarters--Ot News and
Many Personals OF Two Days.

Tomorrow in Dunmore will be an
election which in some respects is the
most important ever held in that bor-
ough. Those familiar with recent politi-
cal happenings know for themselves
the significance of tomorrow's count
ed vote. The men who have conducted
the campaign for the Republicans rep
resent a victorious faction with great
argument-the late contest.
Tomorrow's result will, therefore, be
interesting not only to Dunmoreans,
but also to those from out of the bor-
ough who have followed the movements
of political affairs. The borough COM
mittee have made ample preparation
to receive the returns. The headquar-
ters in Boyles' hall will be kept open
Tuesday night until the final result is
announced. This evening the commit
tee with the members of the several
committees will meet at headquarters
to arrange the final detail of the work
at the polls.
Burgess Powell who is chairman of
the borough committee, said, in an in
terview last night, that every augery
portended success for the men under
the Republican banner. THAT rally
Saturday evening" said the burgess,
was the best ever attended. 1t shows
the way the wind will blow tomorrow.
Not only was there a congregation Of
pronounced Republicans. but what en-
couraged me also was the presence of
large number of men from other
parties-men who have assisted of late
in bringing about victory. I am con-
fident of success in every instance"
The Republican candidates are:
For Treasurer-Louis Engle.
Auditor-H. f. Marshall.
Street Commissiorer-George II. Jack.

Regarding Vaccination.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There appeared in the Peckville
notes of the Scranton Republican Thurs.
day morning an item referring to the ac-
ton of the Blakely board of health rela-
tive to the vaccination of children before
being admitted to the public schools.
The item states no action was taken on
the subject. Now the board has set OF
bylaws that governs that body and the
board have been living UP to them, until
a short time ago, when certain member
took the responsibility of the whole
board upon his shoulders and without
the consent of the board and ordered the
teachers to allow all children, whether
vaccnated or not, to attend school. The
school board gave the board of health
calling down and at a recent meeting
this ofcious member vas called to time
for what he had done and at the next
regular meeting final action will be taken
in the matter. Either the bylaws Will
have to be altered to suit this one mem
Der or else the rest Of the board will be
governed as they have always been
heretofore by their bylaws. The MEM
bers are highly incensed at the report
sent out by the scribe. but who, no doubt,
got his news second handed, as he was
not at the meeting. e. l.. Craig,
Member of the Board.

Topeka, Kas.. Jan. 3.-(Special.) The
state board of railroad commissioners has
at last assumed the role of a court and
issued rules of practice to be observed be-
fore the commission. This Is what was
intended by the trainers of the law Gre
ating the board. but for some reason it
has never been done before. Under the
rules the commission will hold regular ses-
sions on Tuesday of each week except on
election days. when it will meet Wednes-
days. In case it is deemed expedient the
commission. in order to save litigants ex-
pense, will go to outside towns to take tes-
timony in cases. Special sessions may be
held at such times and places in the state
as the commission may designate. Com
plants will only, be recognized and con-
sidered when filed by parties financially In
terested in the settlement of the question
involved. All complaints must be sub
scribed to. Railroads are given ten days
in which to file answers to complaints. The
parties to any proceedings are given the
right to enter into stipulation. Two COM

if no quorum is present at the regular ses.
sion the secretary Gf he can be found shall

THEIR SECRET is OUT.
tion of the Nuptials OF IEnatius
Donnelly and Miss Hanson.

Minneapolis. Jan. 20.-The secret is out.
All the world may know it now. Ignatius
Donnelly. the Sage Of Nininger. and the
author of the idea that Bacon wrote
Shakespeare. and many books of note. will
wed pretty Miss Olive May Hanson on
Washington's birthday, February %.
1t was naturally to be expected that the
young woman in the case. because of her
extreme youth and the proverbial inability
OF the fair sex to keep a secret-and espe-
cially a secret of that particular character
would be the one to let slip the important
news.
But no. 1t was Mr.. Donnelly. himself,
who confided the important news to a
friend as something which was not yet to
be divulged to the general public.
After the wedding ii is announced that
the happy couple will enjoy a bridal trip
Of more than usual length. owing, as the
bride announces, to the fact that she has
never before had an opportunity to see the
world in which she is cutting so important
a figure at the present moment.
They will visit Mr.. Donnelly's three sis
tiers in Philadelphia and will tarry for a
short time in wicked Gotham. 1t is also
possible that they will take a short turn
in the Old World. and enjoy a brief stay
In gay Paris.
Another fact which will interest the gen.
eral public in this connection is the state
ment by Miss Hanson that a thousand
invitations are to be sent out. and from
this 1t may be concluded that the wedding
Will, be one of the greatest events of the
kind in the history of the Northwest.

MILLI0NAIREs AT LUNCH.
Menu Of the Mills House Praised by
Chauncey Depew-His Opinion
Of Scent Cigars.

New York, Jan. 20.-Four persons, whose
aggregate wealth is estimated to be 81 ,2OO,-
900 dined at the Mills house to-day. They
were D. O. Mills. C%hauncey NJ. Depew. Mrs.
Burke Roche and Miss Josephine Johnson.
The menu included vermiceili soup.
roast beef. mashed potatoes, Boston baked
beans. turnips, hot apple sauce, Indian pud-
ding and pumpkin pie.
Mr.. Depew ate his soup with a relish. as
II it were green turtle or birds nests at
50 a plate. The beef. he declared, was SUI
perb. For dessert Mr.. Mills, Miss johnson
and Mr.. Depew shose apple sauce. Mrs.
Roche selected Indian pudding. The total
of the bill was IS cents, which Mr.. Mills
paid. Mr.. Depew said tonight:
MY own share of the luncheon l figured
out to be Is cents. and 1 could not nave
duplicated the order at an uptown rcstau-
rant for $50. The soup was well prepared,
nourishing. hot and savory. The roas beef
was excellent. as hot and juicy as clever
cooking could make II. and If it was not
served on a silver roasting pan with a
spirit lamp burning under 1t. 1t was quite
as satisfying to the palate and appetite.
II bought some cigars. but did not smoke
them. The scent cigar is the same the
world over. l do not suppose the Mills
hotel brand is any better or worse than
others. They always require a mustard
plaster to draw them out and a perfumery
store to deodorize them"
