After the success with which Welsh
Brothers show met here one year ago,
and the good reputation they left behind
them, it is little wonder that the space
under their large tented canvass is
scarcely large enough to accommodate
the mighty throng that is visiting each
performance on this, their second visit.
Welsh Brothers seem to have studied
the wishes OF the people, and found out
that what was wanted was good,
clean, up-to-date moral show. At least
that is the kind of a show they are Civ
ing, and Judging from its unparalleled
success, it's the kind that was needed.
Akimoto's Japanese troupe is a won
der. Their performance is startling,
and Has to be seen, as 1t cannot be de-
scribed.
Alfred Heintz is another wonder. He
stands on his head in midair as natural
ly as some people walk on their feet on
the ground.
A double trapeze act by West and
Zanta is great, while Mile. Cerito, the
foot juggler, is marvellous.
The climax to the performance may
truly be said to be Harry Mohn's trained
dogs. They captivated the audience by
performing tricks that seem impossible.
Their representation of the Fitzsim,
mons-Jeffries bout astonished all who
beheld it.
There are three clowns-John Ian
caster, H. +. West and Charles O'Bren.
They are the funniest that ever stepped
into ring and the beauty about them
is that they don't get off any stale jokes.
Last evening at $50 o'clock balloon
ascension was given, which was one OF
the best ever seen here.-Egentng Times

his name did not come before the
delegates.
The roll of delegates was then called
and the ballot resulted in victory for
| Mainwaring. The vote stood:
| MalnWarlng. ............ 1913
| kuntZ. .1O413
Mr.. Kuntz moved to make the nomi-
| nation unanimous, which was done, and
an adjournment was taken until
o'clock.
During the noon recess the friends of
Raub, a candidate for treasurer, worked
| among the delegates with telling effect.
Detro was the slated candidate, and as
part of the slate had already gone
| through it required more than ordinary
inducements to wean away the fellows
who like to be on the winning side.
The lower end men were largely in
favor of Raub and against the slate,
and they introduced few Fourth dis
| trict wrinkles into the canvass during
the recess. Shortly before the dele
ates reassembled it was apparent that
the slated candidate for treasurer had
struck the toboggan, and when this
became generally known rush was
made to Raub by those on the fence.
1t was after 2.3O o'clock when the
afternoon session was called to order
The nomination of candidate for
treasurer was the first business.
Attorney A. l.. Williams offered the
name of M. L. Dreisbach, of Wilkes
barre. Attorney E. f. Cooke placed in
nomination Arthur E. Detro, of Wilkes
barre. Hon. II. w. Palmer nominated
Philip T. Raub, of Dallas.
A ballot was called and it had not
proceeded far when it was evident that
Raub would have plain sailing, and if
there was any doubt, it was dissipated
when the Third district voted almost
solidly for the Dallas candidate. He
also got surprisingly large vote in the
First and Second districts and the
Kuntz men from the Fourth district
remained with him to man. The bal
lot resulted in Raub's nomination by the
following vote:
l.. L. Raub. b................17 .170A
a. II. DetrO ..lO22
M. L. Dreisbach. ......... s
Nominations for commissioners were
next called and Attorney Clark, of Lu-
zerne Borough, placed the name of A.
d. Hay, of Lehman, before the conven-
tion.
George S. Ferris, of West Plttston,
named John M. Jones and from the ap-
plause that followed the mention of Mr..
Jones' name it could be seen that he
was the choice of the convention.
T. b. Shaifer, of Forty Fort, sounded
his own war cry. The substance of his
remarks was that he desired to with
draw in favor of Thomas Smith.
Captain 7. c, Parker named Thomas
Smith, of Wilkesbarre. "Davy" Potts, of
Wilkesbarre, nominated a workingman,
(meaning himselD for commissioner.
The delegates spurred Davy on with
cheers and there was the greatest kind
of an uproar for several minutes. Potts
was finally persuaded to cease his
oratorial bombardment.
A ballot was called and as it proceed
ed it was evident that there would be
close race between Hay and Smith,
Jones having everything his own way
The Pittston district, however, gave
Hay good lead and Smith was unable
to overtake it, The result of the ballot
was the nomination of Hay and Jones
by the following vote:
j. M. Jones.

A Direct Talk With Mothers
About Boys School Suits !

We have studied the boys school
suit question from your point of
view. We have taken a great many
mothers into our confidence (perhaps
you were one) and have asked them
what were the features most desir-
able in boys school suit.
The gist of opinion is-good wear
ing material, in colors that won't
soil quickly-seams that can't rip
buttons that can't come off-button
holes that won't wear out-double
seated trousers-double knees.
We have boys school suits made
with every one of the above features.
We offer you perfect suit.
The material we use is an all
wool cheviot that we guarantee for
its good wearing qualities. Brown
and grey mixtures, also blue
black, are the colorings.
We invite every mother to come
and see these suits. 1t will more than
fulfill your expectations.
