The JAM WAS TERRIFIC.
Many Persons Lost Money and Had
Clothes Torn at Buffalo Bill
Ticket Wagon.

There was only one ticket wagon

was terrific. Many persons who had
large bills to change for tickets never

passed them up to the ticket sellers.

side before the latter got a chance
to hand them back their change.
Several men came out of the jam.

of wOmen'S hats crushed out of shape

of Police Roblins served an ultimatum
upon the ocffiials in charge that II

the night performance he would cause
their arrest. He procured a warrant
from Magistrate Mllar for this pur-
pose. but it was not needed. as the
extra wagon was opened in time for

that a certain constable in Miners

posting bills. He posted a large num-
ber OF Wild West Autographs in and
around the town and received in pay

A Word of Caution.

Contestants should use the greatest
care in writing the names of new sub
scribers. Be sure they are spelled
properly and that the initials are COR
rect; also take particular pains to get
the right street and number. If you
do not understand clearly, do not hes-
tate to ask second time. or even a
third time, as by so doing you will
avoid no end of trouble and difficulty
through the inability of the carrier to
find the proper house. and the sub
scriber's failure to receive his paper.
The Tribune desires to have the new
subscribers receive their papers as
soon as possible after the subscription
is taken, and to have them properly
delivered.

In Regard to New Contestants.

The Tribune continues to urge the
young people of Scranton and North
eastern Pennsylvania to start in the
contest. 1t is not too late to begin and
will not be at any time within the next
two weeks. although of course the ear
lier the better. Just now the young
people, particularly in the high school,
are busy with examinations and COM
mencement, but these will soon be over
and then for a determined effort to win
in the Tribunes Educational Contest.
OF course the leading contestants
appear TO have a big lead but when it
is considered what ten of fifteen yearly
subscribers, counting twelve points
each, would do for new worker. it
does not seem 50 dark prospect.
Most any young person should have
little difficulty in securing that num-
ber among their friends in a few days.
and would then be on an equal footing
with the best on the list.

Keep Up the Good Work.

This is not said with a view TO dis
couraging any of those who are al
ready at work. OF course the Tribune
desires to have as many contestants
as possible, and 10 have them all at
work. Such a condition means all on
an equal footing. The best plan for
those already in it is to keep continu-
ally at it, for those in the lead can
never tell how soon a new contestant
may come in with friends enough to
give him a promising start: neither
can those who are farther down the
list know how soon some of the lead
ers may get discouraged and stop acN
tive canvassing. Who can tell but it
may be a repetition of the old fable of
the race between the hare and the tor
toise. where the latter won by keep
ing steadily in motion while the hare
was taking a rest, thinking he was so
far ahead that he did not need to keep
going,

MEN

Are the ones who sit down and con.
slider things carefully. They are
sure they are right before making q
move, but when they start they keen
straight ahead. A successful man
makes up his mind what he wants

next best wont do. The best fire
insurance is the kind the successful
man buys. He knows that good in :
surance is possible only when the

right, and when the companies he
insures in one strong and reliable.
