At caucus Of the Democrats of the
Twentieth ward held last night John
Gibbons was re-nominated for school
controller and the same compliment
was rendered NJ. ]. Cusick, the present
common councilman Of the ward. The
boom OF w. G. OMalley for the Demo-
cratic nomination for county treasurer
was q $50 launched
The caucus was held in Corcoran's
hall and was largely attended md en-
thusiastic. 1t was the most harmon
ious Gathering of Democrats seen in
the Twentieth ward in years. w. G..
O'Malley, the city committeeman for
the ward called the meeting to order
and was elected permanent chairman
of the caucus. Z. j. Coyne was made
secretary. Chairman OMalley stated
that they had to nominate candidates
for school controller and common coun-
Gil and called for nominations for school
controller.
Attorney p. w. Gallagher took the
floor and named John Gibbons. Mr..
Gibbons, he said, has been a member
of the board of school control for years
and is a credit to the city and to the
ward he represents. The board has no
for the cause of education and it would
be a distinct loss to it If he was not
returned. Those present agreed with
Mr.. Gallagher. There were no other
nominations and Mr. Gibbons was
nominated by acclamation amid great
enthusiasm and cheering.
Common council was next taken up,
and on motion of Patrick Moore, NJ. j.
Cusick, the present incumbent, was
also renominated by aCclamation.
Short addresses were made by the NOM
inees. thanking the voters for the NOM
| nations and the spirit in which they
were rendered. Mr. Gibbons said the
nomination, coming with such unanim-
ity, was particularly gratifying to him
1t showed he has the confidence and
respect of his neighbors which he
priced above everything else. Mr..
Cusick also made a very neat speech.
! On motion of p. w. Gallagher the
! caucus then declared itself as favor
! ing w. G. O'Malley for the Democratic
! nomination for county treasurer next
fall
/ The voters of the First district got
together at the conclusion of the ward
caucus and nominated the following
district candidates. Judge of election
Patrick j. Coyne; inspector of election
John Gilmartin; register, ex-Alderman
Patrick Roche. The other districts will
hold their caucuses tonight.
| Mr.. Gibbons, who was re-nominated
last night, is now serving the last
months of his fourth term as schoo
| controller. He served one term as a
member of the Fourth district board
! before the city districts were consoli-
dated and afterwards served two terms
or eight years on the board of the
! present district. He then retired from
the board for few years and foui
years ago returned and resumed his old
place on the board. AS he is not like
/ ly to have opposition of any kind he
can read his title to another term clear

EVENTS OF DAY In

OPTION ON TIN PLATE PLANT

Unless a Sufficient Amount Of Stock
Is Pledged by January 1 the In
dustry will Be Located Elsewhere.
Additional Christmas Exercises.
Masonic Lodge Installation-Dr.
Beach Overcome by Coal Gas--Fu-
neral Announcements and Other
News Notes.

Only a few days more remain for
the people of West Scranton to sub
scribe for the necessary amount If
stock to secure the proposed tin
plate industry, and unless it is forth
coming by the first of next week the
chances are that the plant will be
located elsewhere. When the Scranton
board of trade decided to recommend
the industry to the citizens of Scran-
ton, they took into consideration that
West Scranton people had been
clamoring for something in the manu-
featuring line for many years and in
Difference to the wishes of the manu-
facturers committee, Mr.. Torbet gave
the West Side board of trade an OPP
tion on the plant for four weeks.
During that time several desirable
sites have been offered, and pledges
TO the amount of sl50,O00 have been
secured, but Mr.. Torbet prefers the
Keyser Valley as location, AMI
would be pleased to build there. IF
two or three of the moneyed men of
West Scranton will subscribe $4,000
each, the soliciting committee are
confident that the balance required
will be forthcoming from others who
desire to invest smaller amounts.
There are at least dozen men here
who are able to subscribe that amount,
but they are rather doubtful of the
concern. and if they seek an interview
with Mr.. Tobert at the Board of
Trade building. the necessary informa =
tion can be readily secured. John Il.
Farr, p. G. Morgan and William Far
Tell, the local soliciting committee
have each pledged themselves to tanl
stock in the plant, and several other
well-known men have signitied their
intention of subscribing if the plant can
be secured, and 1t is to be hoped this
opportunity will not be lost sight of.
The future of West Scranton depends
upon the location of manufacturingT n
dustries, and with the opening up OF
the different home sites on every side
and new buildings in course of erec-
tlon, the outlook is favorable for this
section of the city to become one of
the best manufacturing centres in
Northeastern Pennsylvania.

MANS RIGHT TO Die.
Or. Nickerson Explains His Views on Ending
Much Suffering Life.

Meridian, ct. Sept. l2.-The Morning
Record will publish. tomorrow. sign
ed statement from DIR. Nehemiah Nick
crNon. whose Views on the right of man
to die have caused such a sensation.
Or. Nickcrson says in substance that
there is nothing in the published inter-
view with him in Saturdays Record TO
show that the administration of chloro-
form to patients. dying of incurablc
disease lends to lessen the last few
hours Of life.
by removing the agony from pain
in cancer or from the struggle for
breath in certain cases Of heart disease
or copsumptiun, should judge it might
prolong the period. But this is a point
which cannot he determined to Z GER
tainty. My remarks in the Saturday
Morning Record were intended to show
what | considered the duty of the ply
stefan during the last few hours Of
terrible suffering from incurable dis
ease. when we can act the part Of a
mnistering angel in no more merciful
manner than by rendering the sufferer
unconscious during the few hours that
remain.
My consideration was entirely con
fined to those cases of long continued
incurablc disease where there could be
no possibility Of Il mistake and when
the patient was absolutely dying in OK
treme agony. which the physician could
mitigate or relieve. Shall he stand by
in helpless inactivity, while pain ana
agony wiring the last breath from the
poor sufferer? | say no and doubly no.
Morphia and various anaesthctics
which my critics profess to use have no
effect on the pain Of cancer unless a
necessarily fatal dose is given. The
physician in such cases finds himself
compelled to resort to choloroform.
IN spite Of ali the anathemas hurled
at me the profession has and does in
extreme cases resort to this means of
relief"

The Study Of Food.

When man knows that he depends
on food alone from which to make his
brains and that his success in life is
largely owing to the kind of brains he
has. it would seem the part of wisdom
to study food a bit.
All men do not have the opportunity
to make a careful analytical study OF
the subject and are satisfied to have
the food experts attend to this for
them.
A food especially made to supply the
nouriShinG clements needed to rebuild
the brain and nervous ccnterS bears
the name Grape-Nuts. and its use Tor
ten DAYS or two weeks produces a
sturdy. substantial and powerful con-
diton Of the thinking machinery, en-
aiding one to do things. to make money
or succeed in whatever enterprise is
reasonably undertaken.
4 Systematic, logical, concentrated
thinking is the one requisite to success
and that needs good healthy brains,
well nourished. and the waste supplied
each day. Grape-Nuts make their
energy known to the user and being IN
the form of a delicious food they have
become a welcome addition to the
tables of brainy people in all parts OF
the country.
