First Strike in U. S.

1t is interesting to recall, in con
nection with the anthracite coal strike,
that the shoemakers were the first
strikers in this country of whom there
is any record. Three hundred of them
struck for higher wages i'll 1896 in
Philadelphia and their demands were
acceded to. The first railroad strike
occurred in 1877. But in 1894 came
the strike which is perhaps the most
notable in the history of this country.
1t began with the strike of three thous-
and employees of the Pullman Car
Company for higher wages. These
men were connected with various rail
roads centering at Chicago, and one
hundred thousand men were affected.
The railroads lost 800, 600 in property
during this trouble, and in earnings
50, 600, 600.

The most interesting of all the hunt
ers in Central Pennsylvania is George

Mr.. Burns is as active as kitten, en-
joys excellent health, and has remark
able use of all his faculties "Pappy
Burns, as he is familiarly known by
all, returned Saturday from a hunting
trip in Union county, where le taught
his two grandsons how to trap for
bear. Mr.. Burns experience i'll bear
hunting has taught him that bear, and
coon also, are very fond of fish. The
boys having caught ten-pound carp,
took the head of the fish and baited
the trap with it. The following morn
ing, when he and the two boys went
to look ut the device, a 200 pound
bear was their trophy.

AT The Theatre.
Ny Friend Hogan.

One of the funniest shows of the sea
son is the general verdict of every one
who sees the revival of a well-known
authors farce, My Friend Hogan, > as
played by Mullen and Dunn's Com
ediaus. This play will appear at the
Opera House on Tuesday evening,
October 20.
There is a laugh in every line and
laughter reigns supreme from the rise
of the curtain to the very last line.
The play is constructed for laughing
purposes only and is full of comical
situations, climaxes and funny dia.
logues. Special scenery is carried for
the production. My Friend Hogan
while farce comedy, is not devoid Of
a plot. although it is not an intricate
or deep one. Mullen and Dunn have
parts especially adapted to them, III
which every line, movement and incid
ent is in IA humorous vein, ana these
comedians feel confident of making
their new comedy the laughing episode
of the season.

The election of a Congressman in any
district in the United States ia of the
greatest Importance to all the people of
this country. We often cast our ballots
for some one to represent us in Congress
without much thought in regard to the
fitness of the candidate to represent the
people of great Congressional district
in the law making branch of the govern
ment 1t seems to us that at this time,
In the history of our government, and
having in view the unbounded prosperity
that all classes of our people now enjoy
from the humblest citizen to the most
exalted, that the same rule in regard to
fitness should prevail, in choosing our
Congressman at the coming election to
represent us and all the interests in the
Imperial District. The advance agent
of Prosperity Mckinley made good all
the burning truths that he so convinc-
ing and eloquently spoke to his country
men and they aroused a sentiment in
the hearts and minds of the people to
that extent that Congress has been
repeatedly elected that has by wise and
beneficient legislation given to the coun-
try its wonderful prosperity, redeemed
from the tyrany the islands of the sea.
and planted our strong banner so high
and 30 wide over the world that all
nations are glad to have its friendship
and support this, and far more, has
been through the wise administration of
Republican Congress and Executive.
This being so, then we think our duty
TO ourselves and our country is plain.
Two candidates in our district are ask
ing for our support. Mr.. Fred A. God
charles the Republican nominee is
young man full of patriotism which he
has throughout his young life illustrat-
ed both as citizen and in the Spanish
war. He is young man Of unblemish-
ed character and of great business talent
educated in one of our prominent I'm
lversities and also graduate of one Of
the leading iron manufactures of Milton.
He represented his county in the legislat
ure of 1901 preserving his integrity and
winning to himself the kindest express
ions from his political opponents
We believe him to be safe man, and
that the people of this district can repose
the utmost confidence in him. We look
to our young men, they are the hope of
the Republic, and we believe that the
election of Fred A Godcharles to Con
gress from the district will be in line
with the best interests of all our people
and recognition of manly young
man, that will be an incentive to the
best effort of all our young people

pies candidate and should be elected
Congressman for the sh 1rt term.
We are led to believe he will be elect
