U. NJ. W. of A. Convention.

All the necessary arrangements for
the seventh annual convention of Dis
trict No. Z, U. M. w. of A, have been
completed. The sessions will begin
tomorrow at the Grand opera house and
will continue three days, perhaps longer.
Many of the delegates who will attend
are expected to arrive here this evening
and will be met by reception committees
chosen from the Freeland locals, who
will give the visitors information con-
corning hotels, rates, etc.
Tomorrow evening ball will be held
at Krell's hall in honor Of the delegates,
under the auspices of Locals 1499 and
1889, OF town. st. AIMS band will
furnish the dance music. Other forms
of amusement to entertain the delegates
during their stay here have been ar
ranged for the following evenings.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1903-01-05

are being treated in the upper end of
this county, the Board of Health of
Freeland is doing little or nothing to
give our residents assurance that the
town will be kept free from this and
other contagious diseases, There are
many matters which require consdera-
tion from the Board Of Health, but of
late disposition has been shown by the
body to shirk its duties.
No meeting has been held for the past
three months, and the indications are
that none will be beld for some tune
longer, unless the personnel Of the
board is changed. few of the mem
bers have become so dsheartened at the
failure of the board to meet that they
have decided to resign.
Board of Health In a town the size
of Freeand is an absolute necessity and
the position of membership carries with
1t important responsibilities. Failure to
hold regular meetings is an offense
which the public will not condone, and
If the gentlemen who at present con-
stitute the body cannot give the busi-
ness the attention 1t deserves they
should make way for others.

Fire Still Burning.

The fire in Derringer mine, which
began burning during the strike, is still
giving Coke Bros. & Co.'s officials con-
siderable annoyance. The section OF
the colliery In which the flames were
discovered Is so situated that the work
OF fighting the FIRE could not be followed
by the usual methods, and the blaze
has so far proved an enigma to those
who have been assigned the task of
eXtinguishing it,
L is reported that the fire is now con-
fined to limited area of the coliery,
and the section has been sealed. There
is no danger that 1t will spread further,
but the vast quantity OF coal that is in
the sealed portion may require months
to consume.
An investigation by the officials has
satisfied them as to the origin of the
fire. IL has been definitely ascerta ed
that it was due to negligence on the
part of mberman who were making re-
pairs in the coliery, and was not the
act Of strikers, which was the theory
originally advanced.

No Politics for Mitchell.

President John Mitchell, of the Unit
ed Mine Workers, is not an aspirant for
political honors, according to state
ment made by him over the long dis
tance telephone from Scranton.
Last week the Cook County Marching
Club, the great Democratic organiza-
tion of Chicago, elected Mr. Mitchell an
honorary member and started boom
for him for preferment in national
politics. This information was tele-
graphed East and one OF Mr.. Mitchell's
friends in Washington called him by
long distance phone and had u talk with
him upon the subject
Mr.. Mitchell said he was not politi.
clan and that at this time he had no in
clinaton to enter politics or to have his
work in the labor field hampered by po-
l.tical complications. He said his heart
was in his present work, and that there
was too much yet to be done for him tc
divide his attention with any other sub
iect.

Home for Railroad Men.

The referendum vote of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen on the
S25, 900 Appropriation for the erection of
home for aged and disabled railway
employees has been counted. The result
is the passage of the appropriation by
10000 majority.
The home is at Highland Hook, a
suburb of Chicago, but it has been de-
eide to secure another location. The
trainmen and conductors at their last
conventions appropriated 900 each
and total of S75,00o will be used in
the purchase OF grounds and the erec-
tion of u suitable building.

Book Trust Has Full Sway.

Butler, Sheldon Sc Co., large school
book publishing house, with headquar-
ters at Philadelphia, makes the an
nouncement that it has been swallowed
up by the great textbook trust of the
the corporate name of American Book
Company.
Butler, Sheldon &c Co. was one of the
few school-book firms which could fight
the trust, and with it out of the way the
school districts of the country can pre-
pare to pay higher prices for textbooks,
as the trust has now practically mon
opoly OF the books used in the average
district

Foster School Board Solici-
tor Decides a Point.
Majority of the Whole Board
Is Necessary to Sanction
Purchase of Maps--Three
Votes Are Not Enough.

Foster township school board met Sat
urday evening in regular session with
Messrs. johnson, Weber, Zestloft, Dud-
ley and O'Neil present. An opinion
from the solicitor on the purchase of
maps being at hand discussion arose
adopted containing the motion to pur-
chase Sl05 dollars worth of Bridgemans s
Historical Maps OF Pennsylvania. Some
OF the directors wanted that particular
minute cut out entirely. After dis
cussion the minutes were finally adopted
as read and the matter taken up later.
The com mmun nicaton from Solicitor r
j. O'Donnell was read and stated that
the motion voted upon at the previous
meeting to purchase the maps, which
secured the votes Of only three directors,
was not legally carried, and that at
least four votes are required for the mo-
tion to make it valid The opinion was
accepted by motion and no further ac.
,ion regarding the purchase was taken.
A motion increasing the salary of
Fred Haiges from S62 so to s65 month
was carried.
The action of the board in transferring
Miss Roth from Sandy Run to Upper
Lehigh, which was done at a special
meeting and received only three votes,
was approved.
Principal Hoffman reported an enroll
ment of lbs and an average attend
ance of 81 per cent. He also reported
that Mrs. Eckley B. Coke had visited
the school at Drfton and decided to
make the surroundings of the pupils
more pleasant by having the walls kali
somined and the wainscoting painted,
which work she has had done at her
own expense. Mrs. Coke also intends to
have an arrangement constructed for
the primary room at Woodside building,
to protect from the heat pupils who are
obliged to sit near the stove.
The principal also reported damages
to the plaster in the Upper Lehigh
building.
A vote OF thanks was rendered Mrs.
Coke for her interest in the schools of
the district.
A petition containing twenty-five
names from Eckley was received, ask
ing that a night school be opened in
that town. The request was granted.

SOME SUGGESTIONS
FOR 1903

AS the old year closed and the
new year opened we felt that an
invitation to our friends and pat
rons to come to our store and look
our goods over would prove of
mutual benefit, and we therefore
beg to extend you cordial well
come to favor us with call at
your earliest convenience.
We have been selling many
goods during the recent past.
Right goods and right prices have
done it for us this season.
While we have been selling
large quantities of goods we did
not allow our stocks to run down,
but have duplicated our orders and
have kept up styles and sizes so
that you can now have the same
selections as early in the season.
Our offering to you during the
year 1903 will be better goods and
lower prices than can be had else
where.
Underwear, furnishings, hats
and caps, shoes and rubber goods
have all received big cut in prices
since January I.
Would you like to save from 20
to 80 per cent on your purchases
for the next few weeks? Visit us
and we will prove that we can save
it for you.
