TRI-WEEKLY
Mr.. S. Senie,
Freeland, Pa.

Dear Sir.-We admire your ac-
tions in not advertising as offering
penny bargains, as they are dear
to the consumer at any price. We
know that yours is the place where
we get gents and children's out
fitting apparels. Your S. over
coat is worth double any time.
You can expect large crowds of
buyers today, as we always found
you to do square and honorable
dealing. Yours truly,

ON THE EVE
OF ELECTION
Both Parties Are Ready for
TomorroW's Contest.
Desperate Efforts to Be
Made by Republicans to
Recapture the First Ward.
News of Other Districts.

In the First ward the Republicans are
boasting of a majority of half hundred
for their ticket. AS several important
offices are to be filled in the ward the
Republicans are loath to lose it again,
aud a corruption fund has been collected
to make good their boast The ward
has gone Democratic twice within the
past year, but they expect to change
this with the lavish use of money. The
Democrats have named Woodrng for
councilman, Gillespie for school director
and Welsh for constabe-a ticket that
is bound to command respect among the
intelligent voters of the ward.
/
One of the hardest political battles
ever fought in the region is in progress
in Foster township, where both parties
are exerting themselves to their utmost
to win. Both have their forces perfect
ly organized and the contest tomorrow
will not end until the polls close. The
Democratic leaders are confident of vic
tory for their entire ticket, as harmony
and good feeling prevails in every dis
trict in the township.
Local Republicans are making an
unusually strong effort to capture
councilman in the Democratic Gibraltar
the Fifth ward. 1t is alleged that
Mr.. Ward, the Democratic nominee for
the Office, is to be cut by some OF his
party, but for what reason cannot be
learned He is a good Democrat,
laboring man and is in every way quail
fed to legislate for the people of his
ward. The opposition to him is not
strong enough to defeat him, and those
who are foolishly imagining that he is
without friends or strength will have
dsagreeable surprise tomorrow evening
Attorney Daniel Kline, Republican
borough chairman, was baked in an
other of his schemes on Saturday, when
he applied to court to declare the ap-
pointment of George Schwabe, judge of
election in the Third ward, null and
void, and asked that another Judge be
appointed. The court promptly refused
to comply with the request.
t / t
Down In the Second ward the Demo-
Gratis are not numerous, but dissatisfied
Republicans are up in arms at the con-
dition of affairs in the party and they
promise to carry their discomfort to the
polls and stamp it on their ballots. The
Second is a very independent district,
and the vote tomorrow will show it.
The Democratic candidate for bor-
ough auditor is Edward Gallagher, the
South Centre street barber, who is going
to poll an unusually heavy vote in those
sections OF town where he is best known.
He is bright, intelligent young man
whose services will be valuable on the
board of auditors.
George Ripple and Charles Dornbach
have been appointed as overseers for
tomorrow's election in the First ward,
and John Boyd and John Yusoff have
been appointed overseers for the Fifth
ward.

THE BATTLESHiP LOUISIANA.

The Secretary of the Navy yes
terday announced that one of the
new battleships authorized by the
naval appropriation bill, just signed
by the President, would be named
Louisiana. This is in fuliillment
of a promise made a year ago by
the Secretary Long to Representa-
tive Adolph Meyer, of this State.
This promise the present secretary
was, of course, not bound to keep,
hence the compliment comes as a
very graceful act on his part.
Ms provided in the naval appro-
priation bill, the Louisiana will be
one Of the largest battleships ahoat,
having no equal in size in any
foreign fleet but in the British.
She will have a displacement of
10000 tons; that is TO say, she will
be quarter larger than the Hi
nois, which visited New Orleans
last winter. The ship will have a
battery commensurate with her
large size. The State will have
every reason to be proud of such
a namesake. -Picnyune

HOW TO FIGHT THE STICkFAST
FLEA

Mr.. ". NJ. Cullum. of Dallas,
Tex. the Silver Wyandotte
breeder. tells us that he has pur-
chased five gallons of the Beau
mont oil for ten cents. he fur
nishing the can. With this he
proposes to thoroughly Saturatc
the dust or floor Of his hen house
and every place the flea breeds.
AT two cents Il gallon he can af-
ford to do it. and there is no
doubt about it destroying the
ileas. We hope later on to hear
of the results.
Mr.. E. c. Williams. SmithyiIle.
Tex. writes: Will give you my
experience with the chicken
flea. About May / they began
to breed. and by the 10th every
house was as much a flea house
as hen house. Heretofore have
been very successful with cold
water and salt, but it didn't seem
to run them this time, SO | tried
boiling water with ball of I've to
the pot of water, and in less than
three days could not find one.
Salt is good before they breed,
but it will not kill or run them,
but will keep them from breed
ing if well mixed with the dust in
the house or yard.

LOUISIANA TO THE FRONT.

The rapid strides Louisiana
has made in developing manufac-
turing industries in the decade
just passed is nothing short of
amazing, and even our own citi-
zens can hardly realize how far
she has forged to the front.
In 1890 she ranked eighth in
the South, with a capital Of S3J,
100000 invested. In 1900 she
passed Texas, Virginia. Tonnes
see. Kentucky. Georgia and Ala
bama, and had increased her in
vested capital 225 per cent. max
ing it S113, 100000.
The state is also ranked with
the leaders in the value Of her
products. having risen from
eighth place to third, and in this
respect is far and away ahead of
all the states of the far South. In
the amount invested. Maryland
alone leads us. In the actual in
crease of capital, she leads with
SIS. 200. 900 to her credit
This is q remarkable showing
considering the fact that the state
is yet in her infancy in manufac-
turing.
Her marvellous development as
an agricultural center is known
to the world and the world has no
doubt been of the opinion that in
this respect would all her great
ness lie. But the figures above
tell a different story.
The wealth of the Pelican state
in raw material, her cheap fuel
and her innumerable other advan-
tages will give her a place among
the wealthiest of the common
wealths of the Union at no far
day The Rice Journal.

of =. \. Robertson, a we'll known
contractor in the Texas coast
country will undoubtedly lead 10
u radical revolution in the meth
DDS and cost Of preparing the
land for planting of tn" new
cereal.
Mr.. Robertson's experiments
have determined that by the use
of a traction engine commonly
employed to haul the rice thresh
erfrom place to place and supply
the power necessary to threSh
tho product or pump water INTO
the growing fields, that the cost
Of blowing. narrowing and seed
ing may be reduced to a mini
mum, destroying a large and
generally recognized expense
and rendering the employment
Of ploWmen or mules unneccs
sary. At a cost Of not more than
- cents per acre. Mr.. Robinson
cultivated his entire rice planta
ton, located near the Southern
Pacific, in this State. He found
one engine capable of handling
20 acres, and by using a trio of
the machines and working from
dawn to dark. he managed to put
in condition 200 acres.

how great a factor Of economy
has entered the rice area. The
innovation will enable the rice
farmers to make a considerable

A JUST DECISION.

The Supreme Court of West
Virginia has declared that il a man
becomes drunkard his wife is
not compelled to live with him, and
that If she separates from him for
this cause, she is entitled to her
dover forever il at the time Of his
death she was living apart from
him. The Judge said emphati-
cally: "No woman is compelled
to live with the worst of all brutes
"A drunken hnsband-to the peril
of her life and health, but she has
right TO leave him and live apart
from him until he furnishes her
indutible evidence of reform
alton"
This is a righteous decision, and
ought to be adopted by all the
States. 1t Is against all wise rules
Of public policy to allow drunk
ard to raise children and thus en-.
tail upon the community the perils
Of idiocy and insanity and the long
train of evils that result therefrom.
This Judge ought to receive vote
Of thanks from every respectable
organization in this country. He
has gone to the root of the matter.
II his advice be followed il would
save the world vast amount of
suffering A drunkard has no
right to a wife, anyway.-Herdh.

He claimed that his automobile

He went like streak and he rode

He shot over ruts with a zipp and

And people fed madly from Young

With whlrr Of his wheels and a
hum Of his EGGS
He knocked down the children and
ran over dogs;
He frightened the horses and
laughed at their FRANKS,
And men who got mad he regarded
as cranks;
He gave her the very notch on the
bar,
And n cloud of dust followed the
gay Lochnvar.
He stayed not at bridges, he stop
ped not for stone,
He calmly took all Of the road as
