That Foot Ball Eleven Will Be In

arrangements for the game. and on

1.-THE, active and muscular Indians Will
go down the valley full of hope and
confidence to begin the season Alright
by taking home Il victory. Manager
Jones who Is always conservative and
discreetly refra1s from declaring him
self about the prowess of his eleven.
thinks it prudent to say that this year
the best eleven that has ever represent
ed Carbondale is to be found in the
makeup of the Indians. The one or
two weak spots which last year pre-
vented the record from being one of un-
broken victories have been strengthened
beyond question and the big elevens
who will be played will find worthy
foes in the Indians. ,
The Thanksgiving game will be at
Hazleton. 1t would be played here. but
1T has always been a losing venture to
bring team from afar to G'arbondale
on the holiday. The sports seem to be
much taken up with the attractions in
nearby places to attend in such num-
bers as would warrant the expense of
visitors.

A NIGHT OF BELLS.
Priced Souvenirs offered to Public by
Methodist Congregation.

The Methodist congregation last night
formally introduced the miniature bells
made from the historic bell of that
church, which will undoubtedly be
much sought after as souvenirs by
Carbondaians who always take a deep
interest in anything that is so closely
identified with the city's history
At souvenir social and entertain
ment. in which everything. songs. in-
strumental music and recitations, had
something to say of bells, Rev. A. f.
Chaffee, the pastor, introduced the
much anticipated souvenir bells. The
musical programme. which came first,
was as printed in yesterdays Tribune.
The bells are made into small call
bells and are quite fetching in appear
ance. They have small striker, and
give forth Il sweetly musical tone. Rev.
Mr.. Chaffee. in the course of his adj
dress on bells. gave history of the old
bell telling of how it called together
the first Wyoming conference, tolled
farewell to departing soldiers during
the Civil war. and tolled again for their
burial: also that it tolled the hours for
the first town clock.
The bells were then offered for sale
at one dollar each, which is regarded as
nominal, when the sentimental import
ance attached to them is considered.
There were 600 bells ordered. and it
seems that there will be no trouble in
disposing of them.

JERMYM-MAYFIELD

A couple of Russians and dancing
bear had quite a serious time in Jermyn
yesterday. About ll.3O o'clock the bear
was performing upon the Main street in
the vicinity of the, Windsor hotel. The
children from the public school were ON
their way home and, of course, could not
resist the temptation to stop and wit
ness the performance, consequently "a
good sized crowd soon gathered. John
Otto an Archibald teamSter, came along
with wagon and team of mules and the
antics of the bear caused them to be-
come so restive that the driver was UNI
able to control them and they dashed
into milk wagon which was damaged
to the amount of SIG 10 clear himself
from the liability of the damages Otto
had n warrant sworn out for the arrest
of the two Russians. Luzon Gccart and
Peter BeneZet, who, accompanied by the
bear, were taken in charge by Chief OF
Police Mckinley and given hearing be-
fore Squire Keifer, who in default of
their paying the damage done and costs
committed them to the county Jail The
chief and the trio started upon their jour-
ney, but at the depot the chief was put in
n dilemma by the discovery that the rail-
road would not carry the hear. lie there
fore took both men and bear back to tho
borough Jail where the two men >occu-
pied one cell and the bear the adjoining
cell. As the men persist that they have
not sufficient money to pay the fine It is
thought they will he released, This is the
first time bear has been locked up in
Jermyn.

HARRY WILLIAMS WORSE.
Poor Director Has a Change and Is
Very Low.

To the numerous friends who took
hope anew Il few days ago, it will be
sorely depressing news to hear that

some signs of rally, but late Tuesday
night he had another change and since
then has steadily grown weaker. The
terrible fever that has racked his frame

RACES for any length of time, there is
hope while there is even the least vital
