THE advertising columns of the
GUARDIAN were never before so
heavily taxed. The fact that the
GUARDIAN has the largest circula,
tion of any paper in the county
accounts for this. Business men
are not slow to recognize through
what channels their advertising
pays.

Ward Deed Is "a Forgery.

Judge Mcclure, of Lewsburg, has
handed down an opinion in the noted
case of John M. Ward VS.. Eugene Ward
OF Wilkesbarre, in which he grants the
relief sought by the plaintiff in the
equity proceedings. The case was tried
in the Luzerne court several weeks ago
The plaintiff pettoned the courts to
pronounce a deed recorded as of himself
and wife, forgery and annul it. The
trial of the case occupied about ten days
and two experts on handwriting and "a
large number of witnesses were examin-
ed.
The court finds that John NJ Ward
purchased the property recorded as
transferred to his son, Eugene, in 1876;
that when the defendant took the deed
to the recorders Office he procured the
immediate entry and lifted it out of the
Office without receipting for it as is the
custom; that on July 90, 1897, twenty
three days later, the defendant executed
a mortgage on the property to secure a
loan of $1,000; that the evidence pro-
""Sou "o oho piiai poihos 81 COuCiusiNely
to the spuriousness of the instrument
that a lengthy discussion is unnecessary;
that the Mutual Guarantee Building and
Loan association, which made the loan
on the mortgage had no rights superior
to Eugene Ward and it follows as a
matter of law that the plaintiff is en-
titled to the relief sought.
In his bill Mr.. Ward alleged that the
deed recorded by his son Eugene, was a
forgery and that his title to property
upon which Il mortgage was given on
account OF the deed, couded his title.
He asked that the instrument be de-
clared forgery and Eugene Ward re-
strained from meddling with the prop
erty.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Men who have no use for the Demo
cratic party except to use it as vehicle
to ride into public office upon ought to
be politely informed by the coming
Democratic conventions that this is a
year in which only men who are sin
cerely in sympathy with Democratic
principles can expect recognition. No
political party has the right to say how
any citizen shall vote or what he shall
believe, but it has the right to inquire
into the records OF the recent past of
every citizen who asks favors at its
hands. This is presidential year, and
none but applicants who are in full
sympathy with the party's assured can
didate for that high Office should ex-
pect to have their claims taken seriously.
The interference of Republicans in
the Democratic legislative contest, with
the object in view of having man
nominated who will be friendly to the
corporation interests of the Fourth dis
trict, is arousiug the ire of the working
Democrats, and the delegate elections
outside of Freeland will be hoty con-
tested. In Freeland Attorney Nc
Laughlin's delegates will have very
little, If any, opposition, and consider
able support is promised him outside of
town.
In the entire list of Republican candi-
dates for county nominations there is
but one man who has any assurance of
winning at the primaries. This is Reese
Lloyd, of Freeland, who is a candidate
for clerk OF courts. He has no opposi-
ton outside OF two Hazeton men, both
of whom are unknown in the upper end.
Lloyd will easily hold his own in the
Fourth district and will have everything
his own way outside its boundaries.
Delegates to the Democratic legisla-
tive convention, to be held at Hazetop
on Monday afternoon, will be elected at
the various polling places in Freeland,
Hazleton, West Ha2leton, Jedjo, Foster
and Halle townships and the Upper
Lchigh district of Butler township, be-
tween and p. m. on Saturday.
Charles E. Keck, Esq, of Ashley, is in
the lower end this week seeking support
for the nomination of district attorney
on the Republican ticket, Mr.. Keck is
an able lawyer and is one OF the leaders
in the race.
This vicinity is represented in the
Republican national convention at
Philadelphia this week by Hon. John
Lesenring, of Upper Lehigh, who oc-
cupies seat as delegate-at-large.

To Build New Assembly Room.

AT meeting of the Freeland school
board last meeting, with all the mem
bers present, a report was received from
the building and grounds committee
which recommended the erection in the
Daniel Coke school OF an assembly room
for the high school pupils.

the Daniel Coke school, part of which
was used year ago from which a
recitation room was built, is well adap pit
ed for the purposes now required, as
was shown by sketch submitted by
Chairman Everett, of the committee.

by trusting the same, a fine room, 32x45
feet, can be obtained from the vacant
space. accommodations 1Or lUU pupllS
can be found there, also space for IA
laboratory, 17xl4 feet, as well as cases
for 500 volumes OF the high school liza
brary, supply shelves, etc. The cost
may amount to 81. 200 to 81, 800
The committee was authorized to have
plans and specifications prepared and to
receive bids for the work.
Treasurer Vanhorn's bond, in the sum
OF 5000 with M. Schwabe, Hugh NAL
10y, Mrs. Margaret johnson, Matthew
