Vest terday was the last day for filing
remonstrances against applications for
liquor licenses in this county, aud when
it was learned by the Freeland appi-
cants that none had been fled against
them there was much rejoicing. Only
four applicants in the lower end will be
opposed. These are Nicholas Fucciolp,
Butler; George Rosetar, Halle, and Peter
Loughran and Paul Ruzusky, IIazIeton,
However, it looks as though Luzerne
will experience the greatest crusade
against illegal liquor selling that has
ever taken place in the county. The
crusade is in charge OF the Anti-Saloon
League, the head and front Of which is
Rnv. J. j. X. Fletcher, of Pttston, who
for the past two years has been keeping
the saloon-keepers of his home town on
the anxious seat.
Remonstrauces have been filed against
places in all the large towns and town
number Of remonstrances have been
filed against liquor dealers in Pittston
and Luzerne borough. In the former
there are 90; in Luzerne, IS; Plymouth,

2; Lake township, 2; Pittston township,
/; Conyngham township, 2; Kingston, /;

MINERS PLAN
NOT FAVORED
Mitchell Disapproves of the
Proposed Purse.
Intention Was to Raise a
Fund of $4,000 for the
National President of the
United Mine Workers.

An intimation has been given out that
Workers, will not accept the purse of
S75, 900 which the an thracite mine work
ers proposed to give him. The miners
had been arranging for the last month
to raise the fund, and many meetings
were held to discuss the plans. 1t had
been arranged to assess each mine work
appreciation Of the great work that their
president had done n thoroughly or
ganizing them and fighting for the bet
terment OF heir condition.
District Board Member Schlosser, of
Duryea, said that President Mitchell in
tlmated to him few days ago that he
would not accept a purse, and National
Secretary Wilson is quoted as saying
that President Mitchell, who called off
two similar movements, will refuse this
offer.
What will not be done by the mine
workers cannot be decided until meet
ings are held. The men feel that they
should present Mr.. Mitchell with some
substantial token OF their gratitude, and
their hope was that he would use the
$4,000 they expected to raise to pur-
chase property at his home in Spring
Valley.
Besides the general movement OF the
antarFcte workers. there is "A plan on
foot among the Polish Lithuanian and
Hungarian societies of the state to raise
large purse as evidence of appreciation
of these bodies for the work President
Mitchell has done in behalf of the mine
workers of these races, it being argued
that the organization has been OF great
benefit to them financially aud socially.

The Contest Begun.

The legislative committee appointed
to take testimony in the contest started
by James G. Harvey, Republican, for
the seat held by b. j. Ferry, Democrot,
in tho state house Of representatives,

being contested, was elected over Har-
vey by 40 votes, and If the Ninth district
ballots are thrown out his vote will be
less than that received by Harvey.
The committee adjourned today and
will meet again next month to hear Mr..
Ferry's defense. So far Harvey has
failed to prove fraud, but this is not
likely to prevent the committee, which
is overwhelmingly Republican, from
finding 10 his favor.
1t will be remembered that the Repub
lican judges OF Luzerne county threw
Harvey's contest out Of court, on the
ground that there was no foundation for
his claims

The wheat from the chaff, the
good from the bad, the truth from

nice stories in the papers nowadays
of big reductions, but when you
examine facts back of the words
you are more than likely to find
promises which the makers cannot
fulfill and would not if they could.
For our part we would rather
shut up our store and be idle than
give anybody the right to say of it:
THAT store is not as careful of its
reputation as it used to be-" Re-
putation is the bread and butter of
this business, and is worth more to
us than the few paltry dollars an
end of the seasons sale brings, if
conducted under false pretenses.
The middle of the winter finds
us with quite an assortment of sea-
sonable goods, including Rubber
Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps,
Gloves, Extra Heavy Underwear,
Heavy Hosiery, and other articles
designed for wear during this

in price-not to less than half their

In Winter Neckwear, Collars,

our lines are very complete and

New--Old Southern Cookery.

In it's review of Southern books

in reference to the book recently
published by Mrs. Laura Picken.
paugh. The author has spent the
greater paat of her life in Morgan
town. She has many friends here
who will be pleased to note the
popularity with which her work has
been received. The Sun says:
Southern cookery has long been
famed, but few of its old and tried
recipes have been available to the
majority of housewives to whom has
not been given the privilege of beip G
of Southern rearing. In the minds
of individuals, of skillful ladies and
no less skilltul black mammies, have
been treasured recipes for toothsome
viands whose excellences are unat-
tainable to those living in the North
But no one individual has at hen
command the wisdom of all her con-
temporaries, and thus the secret Of
the delicacy of Louisiana is not
generally known in Virginia MOI
that of Alabama in North Carolina.
Now it is that our author comes for
ward with book that appeals te
the palate in no uncertain way. 1t
has many recipes of the old style
and not few of the new style cooks
Every recipe has been tested, not
once but several times, by the author
and her friends, and the result is
claimed to be cook book by which
one can cook. In this day of cook
books that are success from the
literary and artistic standpoint and
failure from the practical and
homely side, we gladly welcome this
carefully planaed work of our au.
thor.

TWO CENTS
DISPENSARY PLAN
Is Now Before the Legislature
at Charleston.
Liquor Laws Of the State May Be Rad
really Reyised-Some Of the Provis-
lens Of the Bill-The Bill Has Many
Strong Points to Recommend 1t.

Str0ng Points TO Recommend 1t.
The Legislature is up to the liquor
question. Senator Kidd has intro
duced bill modified after the
South Carolina plan. The bill
has been advanced to its second read
! ing and has been printed.
Some OF the provisions are modified
from the plan in use In South Carroll
ma. However 1t may not be amiss to
give some of the provisions of the
proposed law.
Under 1t the State Is the only one
who can sell liquor. or course when
towns or counties do not want to have
liquor at all that settles 1t, and they
will have none.
Wherever the dispensaries are set up
they shall be run by the State. The
man engaged to sell the stuff is paid a
regular salary and is under bond to
observe the law.
In case he doesn't he gets bounced.
There is no inducement for him to
violate 1t. The profits all go to the
State. Ii is claimed by those In favor
of the plan that taxes would become
almost unknown as far as State pur-
poses are concerned IL the bill passes.
All the liquors sold is to be tested at
the Experiment Station, and heavy
fines are to be imposed on any dealers,
trying to sell to the State, stuff which Is
not up to the test as shown Ia the
analysis.
1t will be cheaper to the consumer,
as the middle mans profit Is elImina-
ted as we'll as the enormous profits
made by retail dealers, and the State
will not have to make up the license
ia addition.
No treating is allowed under the
plan. No man of incorporate habits
can buy from legalized place of bust
ness There is no temptation thrown
in the pathway OF the young by gIlded
palaces of sin. But those who want
liquor can get it and get good liquor
at reasonable prices.
In South Carolina, where it has
been tried, both The temperance and
the liquor drinking people
are in favor of it. Or course, those
who want to retail liquor and the job
bers ia liquor do not like 1t. they
fight it, and say all manner OF things
against it.
But the truth OF the matter is that
the plan is the real and only solution
of the liquor question. There never
will be any such thing as total prohi-
billion.
That being true, the enly sensible
thing is to remove as far as possible
the objections to liquor selling, and
this plan does that very thing.
The liquor men of the State have
strong lobby at Charleston to fight
the bill, and it may not pass, but 1T
has everything In its favor from
common sense standpoint 1t ought
to become law.
