STORES ON A
CASH BASIS
Markle & Co. Lead in Obey
ing the New Law.
Jeddo Firm Debars Credit
System at Its Big Estab-
lishment and Mine CON-
missaries.

AS announced in the Tribune last
week the coal corporations and firms of
this vicinity are about ready to place
their stores and mine commissaries on a
cash basis, to avoid the tax of 25 per
cent which the new law of the state says
shall be levied upon goods sold by opera
tors other than on cash basis.
G. B. Markle e Co., of Jeddo, are the
first to make public announcement of
the change, and on and after today every
article purchased at their big establish
ment at Jeddo must be paid for in cash
at the time the purchase is made or
delivered.
The notice also includes the several
commissaries which the firm has estab-
liShed at the various mine entrances.
Mine supplies, which are exempted
from the 25 per cent tax, will be sold on
credit, as heretofore. Everything else,
however, can be had only by paying
cash.
Miners who have been interviewed on
the subject are naturally well pleased at
the action of Markle & Co. 1t was ru-
mored that test of the constitutional
ity of the act would be made by the coal
companies, but the compliance with the
object of the law by the largest individ
ual mining firm of the region is taken
as a sign that the law will be obeyed by
all.
Notices similar to the one issued by
Marrkle & Co. are expected from other
firms and corporations which conduct
company stores. II these are not forth
coming within a reasonable length OF

Suicide at White Haven.

The body of man was found hanging
to a tree In the woods near White Haven
on Saturday. The suicide had removed
all his clothing except his stockings, in
one OF which was found a letter and a
cashiers check for $40 on the White
Haven bank, drawn in favor of Frank
Lorenz.
The letter stated that the writer had
contemplated suicide for some time, and
that he had been suffering from a dis
ease for years.

Mayor May Become Judge.

The name of Mayor f. M. Nichols, of
Wilkesbarre, is being mentioned by Re-
publicans as a probable appointee of
Governor Stone as an additional law
judge in Luzerne county under the new
act giving this county another judge.
Frank w. Wheaton is said to be the
first choice of the governor, but Mr.
Wheaton has not decided to accept
even If the place were offered to him.
The salary of judge is but "a, 900 a
year, and as Mr.. Wheaton's law practice
is worth more than that sum he hesitates
about permitting himself to be u candi-
date for the iudgeship.

Irish Games on Saturday.

Ridge street to the Public park, accom-
panied by st. AIMS band and two Irish
miners

time the United Mine Workers will act
