Tennessee practically prohibits the
sale of liquor in many parts of the
state by law that provides that no
saloon can operate within four miles
of school house in cities of less than
10000 population. The educational and
prohibition people have seen to it that
school houses are constructed close
enough together to literally crowd out
the saloon except in the larger cities.
The law originally provided that no
saloon could operate in cities of least
than 1000 population, but a few years
ago the limit was raised to 10000.

PROGRAMME FOR MUSICAL.
A Gassing Tale.

There was no dust to speak of on
Fourth street Friday evening, and the
lantern brigade was out in full force
looking for the electric lights.
"Where are theyw inquired be-
draggled individual, pausing in front
of one of the shop windows, which
were beautifully Illuminated with left
over kerosene lamps and the odds and
ends of candles stuck in beer bottles.
"With the gas, the bottom ofthe
river" was the gloomy response.
'By the way, 1 have not seen you
on the street much this winter. Have
you been away ?'' inquired the curious
man.
"Nope; it takes about all my time to
watch the gas, and keep it from either
going out, or licking the roof off"
"Me too," "Me too," 'Me too,"
came in a chorus from gathering
circle of the interested.
"Dang the gas 1t is no good except
to create obituary notices, said a man
RlcklnS HIS ullI'SI SIletCCclCb booo ttS StiiloO
a pipe main bearing the legend Gas"
"Dot'ss most ebery famibly haf lost
somepody, already, py dot gas"
''Oh, that's nothing, lost my whole
family in one night on account of it,
was the rejoinder.
"Say, boys, I knew little conun'
drum" Clipped in the cheerful man.
All strained their ears to listen, and
and after barely perceptible pause,
filled in by the muttering of the tides
against a bridgeless shore, the owner of
the conundrum continued
"How many electric lights do you
think the Borough Council will sell
while the plant is run by gas?'
Again there was pause, and people
strained their eyes through the great
black void Of the unlighted street in
search of an answer.
At last a voice pleaded in tired tones:
"AslI us something easier.n

No Surprise at All.

Editor ETess:-
In last weeks issue of the Indepen-
dent a number of our taxpayers were
surprised (?) that Mr.. Hacket should
publish the article under the caption
of GA SURPRISE" when our people well
know that this second defeat for the
East Ward boss within two years, was
no surprise at all and should result in
suppressing his aspirations in the
future. The people are tired of elect
ing to the Council men who have no
other motive save the advancement of
personal interests and in the future
the East Ward, as we'll as all other
wards, are determined, to elevate
to the responsible position OF
councilman, men who will have no
axes to grind and shall work for the
whole people, and not ask to be "seen"
before their opposition to, or support
for any measure shall receive their ap-
proval.

An Unwilling Horse Thief.

Chauncy Thomas knows how to mix
fun and adventure in his stories of COW
boys and soldiers. His latest is ''Kiowa's
Revival" in the March McClure's,
which tells how the hapless parson of
Kiowa was forced by a committee of
leading citizens who were celebrating
an election-very much against his own
WILL into embezzlement and horse
stealing. He was caught and very badly
scared at the trial, but the committee
owned up at last, and led by its vindi-
Gated parson Kiowa had the greatest
revival in its history.

Gently purchased a large lumber in

Mr.. Charles T. Logan, invited a few
friends to meet at his residence and ex-
tend to the deserving young man their
well-Wishes for prosperous career in
his new home. An elegant repast was
prepared by Mr.. Logan's good mother,

The departure of j. William Kaye

all time. The PRESS especially extends

QUAY AGAINST ELkIN.
Belief in Pittsburg That the Senator
Has Directed His Friends to Oppose
the Attorney General.


the Attorney General.
PITTsBURG, March St is reported
tonight that Senator Quay has declared
against Elkin for Governor, and that
the fight will be between Watres and
SibIey.
Senator Quay, according to his Pitts
burg agents, has sent word from Florida
that there is to be contest over the re-
naming delegates. Elkin will have the
backing of Governor Stone and I. w.
Durham, of Philadelphia. The other
Quay men in the State have, it is said,
been notified to turn in against Elkin,
and, although he has start in securing
delegates, Quay has concluded that it
will not be safe to allow him to carry off
the nomination, the fear being that
while he might be able to get delegates
in June he could not get votes in Nov
ember.
sibley, it is said, is to work against
Elkin in the western part of the State
and Watres in the eastern end. 1t is
said that Francis j. Torrance, owing to
his hostility to Stone and Elkin, has
agreed to give either Sibley or Watres
some or large part of the Allegheny
County delegates.
1t is said that Sibley will open head
quarters in Pittsburg in a few days and
will rarrv an on oman fpbt ooainet III
kin, and that the fight will have the
personal supervision Of Quay. Elkin is
said to have been notified that it is not
fight against him personally, but
against his associate, Stone, whom the
State Machine has about decided to
dump" The Pittsburg election is said
to be responsible for Senator Quay's
decision.
Friends ofSibley say that with Quay's
help he will get the delegates from Erie,
Mexican, Venango, Armstrong, Beaver.
Washington, Mercer, Clarion, Craw-
ford, Butler, Cameron, Elk, Forest,
Green, Lawrence and Warren counties.
General Charles Miller, of Franklin,
is credited with putting Sibley forward.
Miller was opposed to Elkin and tried
to get Stone to have Elkin retire but
Elkin refused.
It is understood in local political
circles that the plan of Senator Quay
to retain his hold on the Western Penn
sylvania delegates through Sibley and
those in the East through Watres is for
the purpose largely of being able to
control the State Republican Conven-
tion on the Governorship. Those on
the inside intimate that neither Watres
nor Sibley is likely to be the candidate
whom Quay may select unless one of
them shows preponderating strength
aud his candidacy does not arouse the
antagonism that has resulted from that
of Elkin.
