ELECTION RESULTS.
Mixed Victory In Luzerne County This
Year-Light Vote Polled.


Notwithstanding that Tuesday was
one of the finest election days that has
come in years, from the weather point
of view, the vote polled was very light.
In Freeland this apathy was more pro-
nounced among the Republicans, and as
a result the Democrats swept the bor-
ough with ease, the majorities ranging
from So for Rooms to 1877 for Lubrecht.
A similar state of affairs existed
throughout the Fourth district, conse-
quently the Republicans lost this end of
the county by large majority.
The voting in this section was fairly
straight and but little cutting and
scratching were done.
In the county at large there was all
kinds of voting, and the election of
parts of both tickets followed, as is in
dicated in the table above.
There was practically no opposition
to Judge Halsey, and he won as expect
ed. Kirkendall polled a surprisingly
large vote everywhere, hence his victory
over Raub, the Republican candidate
for treasurer.
Editor Lubrecht's defeat for register
has a suspicion of treachery about it
which will likely be investigated by his
friends after the smoke clears away.
Hay and Jones are returned to the
commissioners office, and the minority
member of the board will be Finn. The

Our Eyer Untiring Efforts
To Do Better.

To give our patrons the biggest pos

of our great success. We are not salts
fed to stand still, but are forever forg-
ing ahead, forever trying to make the
values bigger and the prices smaller.
We are continually securing the mar
kets for the very best of dependable
merchandise, and buying, as we do, in
immense quantities, we are enabled to
sell clothing as cheap as the average
merchant can buy.
This season we have been more active
than ever Our grand array of Clothing
for Men, Boys and Children proves that
it is the greatest assortment that has
ever been shown to the purchasing pub
lie of this town. And we have been
farsighted enough to anticipate the ad-
vance all the clothing merchants are
complaining about and placed our
orders much earlier than usual. We
can, therefore, sell clothing at the old
prices, or make you a suit or overcoat
cheaper than any other tailor in the

MUNICIPAL OPINION
Finding Exception TO The Tax Exemp-
lion Law!

At the next meeting OF the city coun-
Gil City Attorney Darby Will submit
two opinions on subjects which have
been referred to him. One is the liza
bility of the S. F., p & p railroad for
taxation for municipal purposes, and
the other. the liability of drug stores
selling alcoholic liquors for the pay
ment of saloon keepers license. The
opinion in the latter case/wil hold tina
the druggists should take out such a
license
Regarding railroad taxation the
city attorneys opinion will be that in
spite of the tax exemption law. under
which the S. F.. T. & F. was construct
ed, that the railroad can be compelled
to pay taxes for city purposes. This
opinion will be based upon the same
principle upon whfch the city attorney
lately held that the insurance COM
panies were liable for a municipal Ii
cense, despite law by the last lagisla-
ture eXempting them from all tax and
license within the territory upon the
payment into the general fund of the
territory of a certain percentage of
tHelF gross premium receipts where
upon the territorial treasurer should
issue a certificate of authority TO
transact business in the territory.
1t was the opinion of the city at
torney that this law could not and was
not intended to conflict with the
previous statute granting the city
its charter with authority TO
impose license for its own pur-
poses.
So he concludes that q tax exemption
law can only exempt a railroad built
under lit from taxation for territorial
purposes. Though the insurance com
panies consented to pay the city license
after the city attorneys opinion, they
did so on the advice of their attorney.
Attorney General Ainsworth. who did
not admit tho. correctness of the prin-
cfple upon which the opinion was
founded but said that the amount of
the license was so small that it would
be less troublesome and expensive TO
paw it than to resist payment.
The matter of railroad taxation for
municipal purposes is quite different
thing. on account of the Importance of
if. aside from the principle and 10
doubt the whole principle involved in
both opinions will be given the
fullest test

q DETECTED BURGLAR
He Becomes d Target for Couple of
Shots.

A burglary was tried at the resi-
dence of Judge Street on Monday nigh
or early esterday morning. The house
is undergoing repairs and G. F. Briggs,
who is engaged on the work, was
sleeping near by. He was awakened
by a noise on the roof which he
thought at first was made by cat. He
listened and was soon convinced that
some one was walking on the roof and
uncovered rafters. Happening to
cough, the noise suddenly ceased and
then Mr.. Briggs WIS c0nfideLs, he had
a burglar freed He waited, revolver
IN hand. half an hour and heard him
trying the doors and windows and
was finally rewarded by seeing the
outline of a human head projecting
over the edge Of the roof trying to
look down The head was quickly
drawn back, but was soon stuck out
again. Mr.. Briggs called out: Come
down. I've got you dead! If you try
30 get away I'll kill you The man
then sprang to his feet and jumped
back from the edge. At the same in
slant Mr.. Briggs fired and missed. He
shot again at random through the tin
roof. He then alarmed the neighbors.
many of whom had been already
aroused by the firing Robert Fridel
came with lantern and there was
soon "a convocation of half dressed
citizens discussing the best means of
bringing the burglar to earth. While
they were talking about it he escaped
from the other side of the roof, prob
ably by sliding down a scaffold. Any
way he could not be found
1t is supposed that coming to the
and seeing Mr. Briggs asleep, /
he thought he could more easily get |
into the second story without arousing |
him. 1t was easy to reach that story, !
for there were two ladders against the /
building; CIR he could have gone up she |

CHINA AND FlLIpINOS
Some UneaSiEeSS Regarding The
Celestial Altitude.

Washington, Aug 15.-Some IN
easiness prevails in military circles
relative to the at.itude of China with
respect to the Filipincs, as the result
Of her refusal to permit the shipment
of horses purchased by agents of Gen
eral Otis to Manila, on the ground
that they are "contraband of war"
While the Pekin government has
not formally recognized the Delligar-
ency of Aguinaldo and his followers,
her announcement that horses are
''cOntraband" is regarded as danger
ously near such recognition. Officials
interpret her action to mean that
stead of being engaged in the sup
preston of an insurrection, is involved
in a war, and that goods purchased by
it in her empire for the use of the
American army, are correctly contra
band.
So far as can be learned. this gov
eminent has taken no diplomatic no
tice of China's declaration that horses
are contraband Because of the great
change which would occur in the
status of the Fihpinos by recognition
of their belligerency by any nation
and the consequent embarrassment to
the United States, this government IS
doing everything possible to prevent
it. 1t is believed these efforts will be
successful at least until the resul.. OF
the next campaign is apparent. Should
the dry season end with the insur-
gents still in the field, the difficulty of
preventing foreign recognition VIII be
materially increased.
