Is possibility that it may be the last

purpose,
The friends of Select Councilman
elect T. j. Coyne and Common Coun-
cilman-elect NJ. j. Cusick, of the Twen-
tieth ward, jubilated last night in a
very enthusiastic way. There was a
parade, followed by a demonstration in
Callerys hall, where there was speech
making and other things.
Simon Thomas will make a valuable
select councilman for the Fourth ward.
His experience i'm the lower branch well
fits him for the more eXacting duties
Of select councilman. Mr. Thomas will
be succeeded in the lower branch by
William V. Griftiths, who will unques-
tionably make an excellent record.
Tuesdays battle has left scars in the
Sixth ward that will be long in heal
ing. John f. Regan and NJ. +. Clark,
the two Democrats who were so in
glOriously defeated by Edward James,
jr,, for select council, are saying some
very harsh things about each other and
both are being .roundly cursed by
Democratic leaders for losing the ward
for the party.
John j. Shea, who will take the seat
in select council now occupied by
James Manley, Is no stranger to the
walks of public life. Mr. Shea has been
a police officer, county detective and
deputy United States commissioner.
He is familiar with the business of
councils and will at once be able to
take an active part in the deliberations
Of the upper body.
Tuesdays election in Dunmore has
convinced even the most skeptical
Democrat of that borough that it is
now safely entrenched in the Republi-
can column. Burgess Powelrs admin
istration of borough affairs will do
much to strengthen his party. He is
making a determined effort TO give
Dunmore the kind of government that
ii has for years stood greatly in need
of.

placed no one i'm nomination for the
office and there seemed no opposition
to the Republican nominee. Patrick
McCuligan, however, determined other
wise. He ran on stickers and was de-
clared elected. The grounds for the
contest are based upon the fact that no
matter where the sticker appeared up
on the ballot 1t was duly counted.

Mayor Nichols, of Wilkes-Barre, has
this to say in the Record about the
result of the election in that city: The
result of the election proves that the
people are in favor of exchanging our
present form of government for that
of cities of the third class. The issue
was squarely presented and the ver-
dict must be respected. The change, I
am confident, will be fruitful of great
industrial and government advantages
to our city. To effect the revolution
the adoption of an ordinance surrend-
ering our present charter is required.
This action on the part of council can
be procured in about two months after
the new members are seated next
April. The new government will give
the people the right to elect the fol-
lowing officers: Controller, treasurer
and assessors. The first named office
is not now supported here, and the
other two are now appointed by the
council and court respectively. The
offices which we are now maintaining,
tax receiver, auditor and high con-
stable, will be abolished"

sissippi. 1t was organized under Wash.
ington in 1896 and since that year has
never been out of the service.
When the Third was established, the
flag it followed had only 13 stars in its
blue field; now there are 46. It's first
weapons were the ancient fintlooks; to-
day it uses the new Krag- -Jorgensen rife,
with which man can fire 100 shots
during the time it took to load and fire
the old fiintlocks.
When the Third received its first
formal commission, its uniform was
more or less nondescript in style,
though the prevailing Continental garb
was followed.
The original First was established in
June, 1884. This by subsequent consol-
idation was merged into the present
Third, so that it is in reality decade
more than century old.
This is the same regiment which
fought under "Mad' Anthony Wayne
when be led his forces with impetuous
ardor against the Indians Of the north
western border, which passed decade
or more of it's life in the great lakes re.
gion when the feeble garrisons along
the inland seas were so sorely in need Of
its stanch aid, and which was foremost
in the long and trying campaign in
Florida, where it maintained the splen-
did reputation as an Indian fighter
which it has kept for century.
1t is the same regiment which, when
Texas would maintain her own defini-
tion of the boundary line between her
and Mexico, was ordered to the south
west, where, through that spirited and
picturesque campaign, it fought it's way
at Palo Alto, at Resaca de la Palma, at
Monterey, at the siege and capture of
Vera Cruz, then onward under Scott on
that irresistible march straight to the
citadel of the Mexican capital.
So onward the regiment fought, de-
pleted many times by death and disease,
its veins steadily filling in with the
best blood of the nation u ling against
the Navajos and Apache al all the ex-
citing Indian campaigns from 1910 to
1860.
From the outset of the civil war the
Third was at the front. It won it's first
recognition at the first opportunity
which presented itself, when it showed
its splendid qualities by its masterly
covering Of the flight of the army at
the first battle of Bull Run.
Many times during the civil war the
fighting qualities of the Third were
called into play. 1t took part in 81 bat
ties and sieges, losing in killed, wound
ed and missing 267 men, number equal
