Have fragrant blossoms. Many others are fragrant only when crushed.
 There is one which is fragrant in bloom and fragrant also when its ripened fruit is crushed and made into a drink. We know it as coffee.
 To enjoy the most delicious fra grance of coffee in its highest, state of perfection you should buy what you are sure is coffee, pure and simple, without any adulteration.
 Chase & Sanborn's Coffee is a pure coffee. What is more, it is the best coffee that can be raised by experienced planters. Furthermore every bean is selected and the same care is maintained in roasting and packing, until it reaches the con sumerS' hands.
 Because it is pure it is healthful and the price at which it Sells is so little in advance of cheaper grades that one stops and wonders why any one should not always have Chase & Sanbom's Seal Brand Coffee, or any one of their high grade brands which come in parch- ment lined colored bags.

JONES is CONTROLLER.
Appointed Yesterday by Governor
w. A. Stone-Sketch of Lacka-
wanna's New Official.

Governor w. A. Stone yesterday APP
pointed Edward A. Jones. of Arch
bald, as the first controller of Lacka-
wanna county. The appointment was
sent to the senate, but owing to the
absence of quorum was not taken
up. There is no doubt that the SEN
ate will confirm.
Edward a. Jones was born in Oily
phant in 1860 and is now u resident of
Carbondale. He received his early
education in the public schools of Oily
plant AMI when nineteen years of age
became brakeman on the Delaware,
Iackawanna e. Western railroad.
Later he learned the machinist trade
and became an engineer.
In 1892 he was appointed superin-
tendent of the Raymond Coal company
at Archibald, which position he held
until that company was absorbed by
the Elk Hill Coal and Iron company,
when he was made superintendent of
the Raymond colliery.
Mr.. Jones has always been active in
politics and is one of the best known
Republicans in the county. For ten
years he has done distinguished SER
vice for his party as a member of the
Republican county committee and
during the six years he was chairman
of the Fourth legislative district
standing committee he conducted
some gallant fights in that part of the
county. He twice represented that
district at Republican state conven-
tions and for two years was a men,
bcr of the Republican state committee.
The esteem in which he is held at
his home is demonstrated by the fact
that he served three years as a mem-
Der of the Archibald borough council,
for one year of which he was chair
man. In 1896 Judge II. w. Archbold
appointed him director of the
Blakely Poor district. and he has rem
dered it valuable assistance ever since.
He has been secretary of the board
since his appointment.
The salary of the office to which Mr.
Jones has been appointed is $4,000 a
year. His commission from the gov
crnor will expire the first Monday Of
January next.

Mr. Schwenker, of South Scranton,
| gained first place yesterday in the
Educational contest from Mr.. Lewis
by bringing twelve points to the lat
ter's ten. He is now but two points in
the lead. and already in the contest a.
pretty struggle for supremacy has
| commenced. The two leaders will not
have 1T al! their own way long, how
ever for others are working to first
class purpose. William Miles, of Hyde
Park, jumped from fifth place into
| third yesterday, and he is closely fol-
lowed by j. Garfield Anderson, of Car
bondale, who signalized his first day
in the list of leaders by bringing in
thirty-six points and taking fourth
place away from his fellow townsman,
Mr.. Drummer, who is the same distance
away from Anderson as the latter is
from Miles. The others on the list
who failed TO make returns yesterday
all drop down one notch.
This swift increase in points by the
leading contestants should convince
hesitatinS young men and women TO
enter and begin. Any one has good
chance. as is demonstrated by the re-
turns made daily by those whose
names arc published.
II is q most favorable time for any
one to enter. The present leaders have
only been at work for a few days and
may be easily caught and passed.
For example, a. contestant who begins
to-day by securing seven subscribers,
at one year each. would be at the very
head of the list. Better begin now.

day on the third page. For further in

EDITOR BULLETIN:
If Bolivar could be made school
center, then her future prosperity
would be assured, so say her best
friends. She now has hourishing
boarding and day school for girls,
an up-to-date public school, both as
to building and attendance, and last
year new enterprise was put on
foot and long felt want filled in
the opening of a kindergarten by
Miss Nicely, which proved success
in every respect. Miss Nicely has
the happy faculty of reaching child
rem, combined with all the teaching
qualities that go to make success
ful teacher. She is fully equipped
as to all things necessary for thor
ough instruction in kindergarten
methods, and parents having little
tots from five to nine years would
do we'll to patronize her. In olden
times, it was considered essential to
make school as disagreeable as pos
sible to the pupils. Such was not
the idea of Friedrich Froebel, the
founder of kindergartens, who by
close study and observation found
that methods by which the powers
and instincts of child may be more
fully understood, was the natural
way in which to lead the young
minds. A true kindergarten has
three-fold mission-the develop
ment of mind, body and soul, which
by means of music and games as
we'll as instruction in the rudiments
of the three RS is most happily &C.
complished. All future school
work is much more easily and quick
ly grasped, and better results OBJ
tanned after good foundation has
been laid in the kindergarten. Such
it is believed Miss Nicely is giving,
hence she deserves liberal patron
age. A FRIEND.
