Of irrigation in the eastern states as
well as in those west of the MISSISSIPPI
pi valley. He estimates that the loss
of hay in New Jersey by reason Of the
drought of May and Juno, 1899. amount
ed to not less than $i50O,00O, while
that on small fruits and vegetables
was much larger. He gives these fig
ures from the experiment farm. In
1897 and 1895. both wet seasons. the
lay crop averaged two tons - 1900
pounds per acre. In 1899 it was but a
little over one ton. This was a loss Of
over 800 on - acres Crimson clover
for forage averaged for the two wet
years Sl2 tons per acre, and for the
dry year the yield was but five tons
The oat and pea forage gave six tons
per acre in the two first years and but
three tons 900 pounds-in 1899. On
small fruits the plats that were irri-
gated produce ut the following rate
per acre more than those not irrigated:
Blackberries. 1,O3S quarts. worth
$93.42; raspberres, 500 quarts, worth
$3.50; currants, So quarts, worth
$3.50. Thus on an acre OF each there
would be gain of $211.52 by irrigat-

Yes, August Flower has the

civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought
OF using any thing else for indi-
gestlon or biliousness. Doctors
were scarce and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous

They used August Flower to clean
out the system and stop fermenta-

the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all thew
took when feeling bad and dull

Der of his friends and acquantances

RECONSECRA-
TION SERVICES
Able Sermons at St. Luke's
Lutheran Church.
Rev. c. F. Speiker, D. D.,
Officiated Yesterday at the
Ceremonies and Attract
ed Large Audiences.

The reconsecraton of st. Luke's
Evangelical Lutheran church, corner of
Washington and Main streets, took
place yesterday. The services were in
charge of Rev. G. f, Speiker, professor
in the Lutheran Theological seminary
at Mt Airy, Philadelphia.
The presence of this celebrated orator
attracted large numbers of people to
both morning and evening services, and
those who attended were well repaid.
DR.. Speiker's text in the morning was
the s4th psalm, 4th verse: blessed are
they that dwell in thy house; they will
still be praising thee"
In the evening the speaker addressed
the congregation on the text taken from
Ephesians Ais, 16: "But doing the
truth in charity, we may in all things
grow up in him who is the head, even
Christ From whom the whole body
being compacted and fifty joined to-
gether, by what every joint suppleth,
according to the operation in the meas
ure of every part maketh increase of the
body unto the edifying of itself in
charity"
Both texts were admirably treated by
DR.. Speaker, who also congratulated the
congregation on the handsome edfice
they now possess.
The church, since its renovation,
presents much improved appearance,
over $500 having been spent on repairs
within the past month, under direction
of the pastor, Rev. J. j. Kuntz.
Memorial windows have also been
placed in position, these being the gifts

on Friday by the Democrats of the First
Lackawanna district for the legislature.
He is a popular man and will likely win.
Mr.. Hayes is known to many people
here, having resided in Drifton and
Freeland several years. He was a
prominent figure in local labor circles
during the strike of 1ss7-ss. He has
been hard worker for the cause of the
miner all his life and his election to the
legislature would but partly recompense
him for the personal sacrifices he has
made on behalf of the mine workers.

there under government license, and
this in face of probably the most strenu-
Gus and bitter opposition ever expert

is the brewery that the Rev. E. E.
Dixon, Methodist pastor of Strouds-
burg, asked the Almighty to shatter
with lightning, and which was hit by a
bolt and damaged at the first thunder
storm of the season. The church nom
bers held many meetings to protest and
petition against its erection and the W..

all the company has commenced brew

BIG STRIKE
IS LIKELY
Operators and Miners Are
Liable to Crash.
Unofficial Announcement of
Employers Refusing to
Meet in Joint Conference
Rouses the Workers.

The grievances of the organized
miners of the anthracite region, and
the request of the men to the operators
to meet in joint conference for the pur-
pose of discussing these grievances,
have been been replied to unofiicially by
a Wyoming region coal magnate. This
reply denies the truth of the grievances
and refuses the invitation to meet the
men.
From information which the Tribune
has received there is strong probability
that radical steps will be taken by the
miners if the stand assumed by the en-
ployer mentioned above is followed by
the other operators and Interested cor
poratons.
Until after the date chosen for the
conference between miners and opera
tors, which is Monday next, nothing
definite will be decided upon by the
United Mine Workers.
1t is a fact, however, that the miners,
who believe their grievances are worthy
OF consideration, are in no mood to be
triiled with, and will not quietly submit
to an Ignoring of their claims
Outside of this immediate vicinity the
Mine Workers are organized solidy from
Forest City to Shamozin. Even in this
region their strength is far greater than
suspected, and call to cease work, un-
til the operators agree to arbltrate or
discuss the issues, will tie up the entire
anthracite field as it never was before.
The grievances of the miners have
been commented upon at length by the
press of the region and state, and the
unanimous opinion of all fair-minded
people is that the operators will do
wrong in refusing the very fair and
honorable invitation to meet and dis
cnss them with the representatives of
the men.
Present indications are, the Tribune
is sorry to announce, not favorable for a
peaceful solution of the trouble. How
ever, it all rests with the operators.

TINKLE OF SILVER.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. p. McDonald's Twenty
fifth Wedding Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. p. McDonald's Twenty
fifth Wedding Anniversary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph p. Mcdonald
yesterday celebrated the silver anniver-
sary of their marriage. Owing to the
fact that this important date had escap-
ed the notice of Mr. and Mrs. Mcdonald,
until the time was too short to permit
arranging a celebration on a larger
scale, the anniversary of the event was
informally observed by rendering a din
ner to number of their intimate
friends at their home, corner Of Centre
and South streets.
Several of their friends, however, had
not forgotten the ceremony of twenty
five years ago, and on Saturday Attor-
ney and Mrs. ID. l.. 0'Neil and Mrs.
Patrick Lynch, of Wilkesbarre, arrived
here with large consignment of silver
ware, which included gifts from their
large circle of friends at the county seat.
Local friends also contributed to the
list of presents, all of which came as a
surprise to the recipients. On account
of the anniversary date falling on Sun
day, the celebration proper was held on
Saturday evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdonald were united
in marriage at Keesville, N. Y, on
August 10, 1875. A few weeks later
they came to Freeland and have resided
here since. Until eight years ago Mr..
Donald conducted general store,
which he closed out in order to devote
his whole attention to furniture and
carpets, in which business he has been
exceedingly successful.
Their hundreds of friends hereabouts
hope they will live to celebrate their
golden anniversary under equally aus
picious circumstances.
