POLITICAL PICkUPS.

Edwin L. Warner, of Weatherly.
Democratic candidate for poor director,
paid visit TO town on Tuesday, accom-
panied by Percy +. Faust, editor of the
Weatherly Herald Mr.. Warner is one
OF the most prominent merchants of his
town. has thorough knowledge of the
poor district aud is just the sort of man
needed by the taxpayers to manage
the big institution at Laurytown. He
served twelve years on Weatherly coun-
Gil and has taken a leading part in
the building up of that enterprising
borough. The candidate is engaged in
the furniture business, not q seller of
unscrupulous enemies allege. The
nomination came to him unsolicited, but
since the party has seen fit to make him
its candidate he is making vigorous
fight for election.
James M. Stauffor, burgess, and j.
Williams, tax collector, of Beaver
Meadow, have been appointed by the
court OF Carbon county to continue in
office until the regular spring election
in 1900. At a special election last June.
Messrs. Stauffer and Williams were
elected to Office, but this is not in
accordance with the act of the legisla-
ture, as these offices, under the condi-
tions then existing, are appointve Offices
The politicians of all parties in Foster
concede that nothing but wholesale
treacherv in Democratic ranks can
defeat the Democratic ticket. The
strife among the Republicans insures the
election of every candidate, and If any
other result prevails some men in Foster
should cease to be Democratic leaders.
Four of the five wards in Freeland
borough are expected to give majorities
for all the Democratic candidates in
these wards and more than half the
ticket will pull through in the other ward
The Republicans have renewed the dis
sensions of year ago and are sharpen
ing their knives for one another
About twenty-five people were at
Wilkesbarre on Monday in connection
with the contest to determine which
faction of the Republicans in Foster is
entitled to the party column. The case
was not called, and the witnesses and
others interested were notified to appear
again on Saturday.
The nomination of two Republicans
for school directors at large, upon tho
advice of Democrat, and then the
withdrawal of their names from the
ticket, upon the advice of other Demo-
Gratis, has disgusted Republicans with
the party leadership in Freeland
John Cudish, of Beaver Brook, has
been placed on the Halle township
Democratic ticket to fill the vacancy
caused by the withdrawal of Frank
Fisher, candidate for treasurer.

There is only one WAY 10 cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining of the

inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is entire

less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-

rested for not sending his sons, William
and James, aged 10 and II years respec-
lively, to school. He claimed that the
boys were incorrgible and played truant,
but Alderman Donohue, before whom
the case was brought, fined Clark So 10
and ordered him to send the boys to the
House of Refuge If they still refused to
attend school.

new compulsory school law, which pro-
vides that all children between the ages
of and 10 years shall attend school at
least 20 per cent of the term, except
those between the ages of l3 and 16
years who are employed at some useful
