Keeps Folks Well.

1t is better to KEEP we'll than to GET
well, although when one is sick it is de-
sirable to GET we'll. When one considers
that eight-tenths of the ailments that
afflict the American people are caused by
constipation, we shall realize why it is
that Baxter's Mandrake Btters KEEPS

assured of good health through the try

HOAX FOR
The POLICE.
Activity Created Last Night by False
Message.
WERE In SEARCH OF BIALECKI.
Alleys, Yards and Houses Known to be
the Fugitive's Old Haunts Were
Carefully Searched, But the
Tip Messenger Gave
Failed.
WERE In SEARCH OF BIALECKI.

The excitement occasioned several weeks
ago when Constable DaudO was shot and
killed, was revived to some extent last night,
when messenger informed the police that
Bialecki. the eonstables murderer, had been
seen on West Strawberry alley. Several of
the police got together and summoned to their
assistance one or two people well acquainted
with the fugitive, and then the hunt COM
menced.
The first precaution taken was to place a
man at every avenue of approach to the
place where Balecki was supposed to have
been seen, after which every alley and yard
we're carefully searched without success
Houses were then visited, and twenty or
more. where it was believed the man might
possibly have been sheltered, were carefully
examined, but no clue was found. The
police then gave up the search, satisfied that
the party who had given the tip was a
victim of delusiOn.
Later a report gained circulation that
Bialecki had been caught but succeeded in
again escaping from the police. This, how
ever, originated from some people who were
inclined to cast a mantle of ridicule over the
affair to the prejudice of the officers.
The fact is that no clue to the man has been
secured since the murder, Notwithstanding
the scores of kilograms and large number OF
photographs of the fugitives with which the
country has been flooded. Nor has anything
transpired to warrant the belief that Bialecki
has been near the town since the night he
left it, Last nights affair was a pure hoax
aud Bialecki is still among the missing.

THE LIQUOR LICENSES.
The Total Number FILED Is seventy-two
Short of Last Year.


Yesterday was the last day for filing ap-
plications for retail and wholesale liquor
licenses aud it was a busy day for the Clerk
of the Courts, who kept his office open until
eleven o'clock last night to accommodate
tardy applicants. During the day 4l0 appli-
cauts were flied, making the total rumber
this year 1119, or decrease of 72 over last
year.
The falling off in the number of applicants
is attributed TO the poor business during the
past year, many of the saloon men barely
clearing expenses while others went behind
Especially was this true of many of those
doing business in Shenandoah.
The total number of applications filed this
year from Shenandoah is 172, divided in the
several wards as follows First ward, 80
Second, 30 Third, 40 Fourth, 10; Fifth,
49, This is a decrease over last year of
seventeen.
Last year there were filed 1S9 applications
! from this town, as follows: First ward 80,
same as this year Second "a, a decrease of
| four; Third 54 a decrease of eight; Fourth
10, same as this year Fifth 81, a decrease of
five; total decrease for this year, II.
Some of these may not secure their licenses,
but figuring on total of 172. the full num-
ber the borough will receive much less than
it did last year from this source of revenue.
There is considerable speculation as to what
course those gentlemen who constitute THE
Law and Order Society" will take in filing re-
monstrances. Quite number of those who
have filed applications will only secure them
after much difficulty. The slot machines, it
is said, will cause others much embaIrass-
ment. AT least one or two attorneys in
| Pottsville will file a number of remOnstrances
and the list is said to include several applica.
tions from Shenandoah. 1t is not believed,
however, that remonstrances will be lied in
the wholesale manner that marked the pro
ceedings of the license court of last year

TIPS FOR WOMEN.

Solve the Query of the Hour.


1t only comes but once year, and every
body, old or young, expects to receive or

of the hour is: what shall buy for

marked down every article in our store, so
that you can make your purchases now and

tunity to buy a certain gift at greatly re-

that the competition in Shenandoah for

come TO Strouses to make your selection. If

effect than will visit to our store.

A POPULAR
VICTORY !.
Chioago's Aldermen Fail to Pass
the Street. Car Franchise Bill.
REOONsIDERED AND REFERRED.

It Is Now quite Evident That the
Friends of the Measure VIII BE I'm
able to secure Enough Votes to Pass
1t over the Mayors Veto.
Chicago, Dec. 13.-The ordinance ex-
tending the franchises of the Chicago
street car companies for so years came
up in the city council last night and
was referred to the council committee
IN railroads On all votes touching the
ordinance the friends of the measure
we're in a strong minority and unless
hey can muster much greater strength
here is no probability that they will
ever be able to pass it over the veto
of Mayor Harrison.
Contrary to general expectation, there
was little excitement around the city
hail. and although the council cham
Der was packed to suffocation and d
crowd filled the outside corridors the
number of people present was but lit
tie larger than usual. The crowd was.
however, against the franchise prOpo-
siton to a man. and made no pretense
Of keeping its convictions a secret. Ad-
herents of the franchise were openly
hissed when they attempted to gain a
point for their measure, and loud yells
greeted the announcement of the vote
by which the ordinance was referred.
Alderman McInerney made a speech
to a certain extent defying the spirit
shown by the galleries, and from that
time to the adjournment he was the
object Of numerous remarks from the
outsiders, many of them being warmly
personal. The crowd, however, was
good natured, and there were no dem
onstrations. The railroad committee
which now heS the ordinance in charge
is composed - 10 members, IL of whom
voted last night as friends of fran
chise extension.
Alderman Walsh was first in bringing
up the franchise question. He Rter-
rupted the regular order of business
in the council with motion that the
vote of the last session committing the
franchise extension ordinance to the
Joint committees in streets and alleys
west, north and south be reconsidered.
He was ruled out of order on the
ground that the rules had not been sus-
pended and the regular order of busi-
ness should obtain.
Some routine matters were soon put
out of the way, and Alderman Maltby,
a strong opponent of the extension Of
the franchises, jumped up with a mo-
tion that no ordinance whatever eX-
tending existing street railway fran
chises shall be passed, and that no
proposals to that end shall be enter
tained until the so-called Allen law
shall have been repealed
This brought on the fight in earnest,
and in a second a half dozen aldermen
