Declares for Ellerh..
The Headlight Always Leads
Oilers Must Follow.

I uS -A' '""S A~-N>>"
Oilers Must Follow.
When The Headlight. months ago,
spoke kindly of Gov. E;lerbe, and
demanded for him fair play, the re-
port was at once started that Can't
had sold out to Bill Neal.' Among
our maligners none were more bitter
than the Laurepsviile Herald, which
surprised us; because we had always
looked upon its editor, Col. Tom
Crews, as fair man and our friend.
But from the following editorial,
taken from the last issue of the
Herald, it seems that Brother Crews
has either had bis eyes opened or
has fallen a victim to the wiles Of
CJl. Neal. L is now in order for
candidates Archer and Watson to
dip their syringe into some cesspool
and bespatter Tom Crews. Bat from
tie way the State press is coming
over to the Ellerbe sidr, be must
have gotten hold of NaDderbilLs for
tune to use as a corruption fund.
Here is how the Laurensyille Herald
raises the f,g of rebellion against
bossism announcing that its editor
has written his own emancipation
proclamation:
"Probably no man, unless it was
Ben T.llnau himself, has ever made
q braver, cleaner or more determined
campaign than Governor E!lerbe is
now making to succeed himself as
Governor CT the State. With every
faction and shade of opinion arrayed
against him, the clean, honest and
brave campaign he is making has
served not only to weld his admirers
the closer to him, but to extort FROM
those who have been disposed to
criticise and oppose him that we'll
merited support which his calm, dig
.:c.l ,xl ,,,,,,,ro,oLlo Jofopea of
himself on the stump 50 eminently
deserves. The Herald is one of
those who has recognized the COM
bined fight now waging against the
Governor, and next week will show
our readers the uuholiucss Of this
political combine. The Laurensviile
Herald is an independent newspaper
and it's editor does his own thinking
and consults his own Judgment.
While cheerfully according perfect
liberty of opinion to every man, he
claims the same privilege for himself;
and while giving willing ear to the
alvice Or suggestions Of his friends,
he repels dictation as contemptuous,
preferring to DO his own thinking
along political lines, which he con-
ceives to be for the best good of the
State without regard to the selfish
motives Of professional politicians.
He scorns to wear any maus collar,
and next week will give his reasons
for supporting Governor Ellerbe in
the present campaign. The fight is
now Oh, and it remains to be seen
whether a combination of politicians
is to triumph against him, or whether
the will Of an honest, rejecting peo-
pie is to prevail. The Herald will
continue to be for the people, let the
result be what it may"

A Novel Piano Contest.

OF all voting contests, perhaps the
most original idea is the one adopted
by Perry Brothers, who will give to
the school, church, society, hospital or
any other institution receiving the
greatest number of votes up to Jan. 1.
1899, a fine Ludwig Piano. The now
city lies in the vote, which will consist
of any advertisement or reading no
tice. unless otherwise mentioned, which
contains the name Perry Brothers.
This notice, for instance. would be &C
cepted as one vote. AS Perry Brothers
advertise in all the Scranton papers,
no doubt the vote will be very large
and it offers great opportunities for
all societies, schools, etc, to take part
with gooe chances of success. The
prize offered is one of the best Ludwig
make. The contest is open to any or
ganizaton in this vicinity. Full in
formation will be given at Perry Broth
ers' store, 205 Wyoming avenue, where
the votes will be deposited and where
a bulletin will be posted showing the
standing of the contestants. ~

THE FLOOR WENT DOWN.
Three of Megargee Brothers En-
ployes Left the Building a Few
Moments Before.

Not a little excitement and fright
was caused about Il o'clock yesterday
by laundering crash in the rear part
of the ground floor of the keystone
building on Spruce street, opposite the
court house. A partition divided the
ground floor into two large apart
ments, the rear being used by Megar-
gee Brothers, large paper firm for a
store room.
Clouds of dust followed the crash
which Jared all the buildings in the
vicinity. A hurried investigation
showed that twenty of the one hundred
tons of naper stored in the room had
fallen with the floor near the parti-
ton into the cellar. About three min
utes earlier several of the firms men,
who were engaged in storing goods
there, left the place and possibly es-
capped death.
One of the men at the time of the
crash stood talking with Bernard Me-
gargee, in the rear of the firms main
store on Washington avenue, where the
rear door is but a step from the rear
door of the Spruce street building, and
was telling him that the owners of the
latter structure had not sufficiently
braced the floor. The man had just
remarked that it was unsafe when the
floor went down.
Within a few days two hundred tons
of paper would have been stored there.
The building is owned by c. p. Dav-
idsOn and A. D. Dean. 1t is rented by
their agent, George B. Davidson. AS
soon as he was Informed of the acci-
dent, Mr.. Davidson summoned Build
ing Inspector Nelson He examined
the construction of the building and
pronounced it ordinary, but strong en-
ough for usual store purposes. He es-
timated that the floor collapsed under
a load of about 500 pounds to the
square foot.

THIS AND THAT.
I7s Clinton Place,

DIR. Harvey, of Wilkes Barre, has
made public some of the conclusions
he has reached in his recent examina-
ton Of a thousand young men recruit
ed by Lieutenant Dentler for the reg
ular army, 500 in Wilkes Barre and 400
in Scranton, having found only ISL
from Wilkes-Barre and IFS from Scran-
ton fit for the service. In many the
deficiencies were slight, but they We're
enough to reject the applicant. He
was surprised at the carelessness the
young men had shown towards the
care of their teeth. Many of them
were rejected on this account. In cases
where the early services of a dentist
would have put them in good shape
there were no signs that they had ever
visited a dentists Office. He was
Obliged to reject a large number ow-
ing to insufficient chest expansion,
strange as it may seem nearly all who
had narrow chests were young farm
ers. Brought up to run a plow or hoe
and scrape the ground with long han
died tools they mad strong arms and
back but were muscle bound and bent
over. The chest had been contracted
and few of them could expand on in
fGlation the requisite two inches. One
or two who We're otherwise perfect
specimens he sent away exhorting
them to take two weeks and practice
exercises to broaden the chest, and to
spend also few minutes night and
fhorning taking and eXhaling deep
treaths. These afterwards came back
and passed successfully.
lie found a good many cases of hy-
per-trophied heart that the careless and
retkiess bicycle riding that some of our
youns men indulge in was largely re-
sponsible for. On questioning some of
them they told him that they had been
accustomed to take long spins and in
dulge in racing.
The doctor also found that 30 per
cent. of the boys who had been stu
dents had defective eyesight, an alarm
ing condition. He says: II know of
few better fields OF humanitarianism
than the solution of this question of
preserving the eyes of our student boys
and girls"
Varicose veins are frequently dis
covered, mostly among farmers. Hem
orrhoids were not so common as he
expected they would be. The doctor
summed up his conclusions as follows:
/. Look out for the eyes of the young
and be careful that they are not al
lowed to overwork or strain them.
2. Let the young farmer boys, 9TH
erwise vigorous and strong, beware of
the contraction of their chests and
lungs. They ought to try setting up
exercises as regular outline.
3. Bicycle riders ought TO beware of
EC0rChlnR nd pf n
tedious rides across country Ride in
moderation.
4. Take care Of the teeth and look
after them early and persistently.

ZOELER WANTED TO SAiOoT.
He Was Under Bond, Too, to Keep

Max Zoeler, of Elm street, was COM

in bail for throwing stones at Mrs.
Splitter and her child and was put un-
der bonds by Alderman kasson to keep
the peace, testimony being offered that
he threatened ito shoot the whole fam

Zoeler appeared on the street intox-
icated and with a revolver in his hand
Wednesday evening and said he would
make good his threat. Neighbors in
terfered but he was arrested yesterday
and committed to Jail by Alderman
kasson.

the weakened variety. Gloomy views
prevail on all sides. The weekly re-

Inevitable, especially with France. II

and no desire for anything that France
