Quaint and entertaining as ever,
''Yon Yonson" will again return and
play q three nights and Wednesday
matinee engagement at the New Grand.
opening tonightz aid theatre goers will
no doubt again rejoice at the opper-
tunity to form his acquaintance. AS
character of type. "Yon Yonson" GER
tainiy stands alone in the creative
world. His rough exterior covers a null
titGde of virtues. and it is the natural
manner in which they are brought to
the surface which renders "Yon" so
truly superior to his many confreTes of
stageland. Mr.. Donaldson has confer
red a two-fold benefit upon the drama
in his happy creation. He has demon
strated that naturalness. and not OBJ
vious straining for effect. is the key
note which the true actor ought to
strike. and he has further shown that
faithful scenic surroundings, rather
than gorgeous but impossible pictures
untrue to life, are calculated to de-
tract from the interest in the story and
weary of the onlooker. The elaborate
scenic equipment of lyon Yonson' is
most pleasing because ii is an exact
reproduction of the locale of the play,
and its principal features are all per-
fectly familiar to every resident of the
great Northwest, and to the thousands
who have visited that section. The
mechanical devises employed are new
to stagecraft, and therefore decidedly
interesting.

FREELAND, Pa, JANUARY 80, 1899
No Private Franchise.

Samuel NJ. Jones, mayor of Toledo.
Ohio in recent speech in New York
told what the city ought to own. He
said in part:
Il maintain that the idea Of granting
franchise to private individuals or cor
porations to minister to a city in social
necessities is as wrong in scientific
theories as it is mschievous and deStruc
tive of what is best in municipal life in
practice.
The whole idea of granting special
privileges to a few people to make profit
off from all the rest of the people is un-
democratic, and consequently is opposed
to, and stands in the way of progress to-
ward the realization of our loftiest and
best ideals-the equality Of all men
before the law.
In granting, in giving or in selling
franchise OF that kind, the city becomes
a party to the crime, and to this crime
against the common people of this coun-
try we can trace much of the misery.
wretchedness and social distress of the
present hour.
THE trust, the combine, the mon
opoly, are all legitimate products of the
same wrong system, and the futile and
abortive effort of our public officials
to get results from laws made to regu-
late, restrain and control trusts is a
striking illustration of the folly of our
method of procedure. We have built up
a social system in which we have as
sumed that it was possible all might
succeed, when the very success of few
is depended upon and can only comC
from the failure of the many"

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.
Wheat For 1899 Estimated at SAT,
100000 Bushels.

Washington, Dec. l5.-The statistician
of the department of agriculture re-
ports the wheat crop of the United
States for 1899 at 5i7. 800, 600 bushels, or
12.3 bushels per acre. The production
OF winter wheat is placed at 291. zoo, 600
bushels. and that of spring wheat at
255, $780, coo bushels. Every important
wheat-growing state has been visited
by special agents of the department,
and the changes in acreage are the re-
suit of their investigations.
The newly seeded area of winter
wheat is estimated at S0.150.oo0 acres,
which is about 100000 acres greater
than that sown in the fall of 1888 The
sowing of wheat is still going on in
California and some of the southern
states, and the foregoing estimate is
subject to correction.
The average condition is 971 The
acreage sown with winter rye is esti-
mated at 4 per cent less than that of
last year. The average of condition is
1872 per cent. --.------s7'-- go
