Murnin- Mahon
The Son of an Anglesea Cottager
Is Married in Philadelphia.

A fashionable marriage took place on
the evening of Tuesday, February 8, at
the Church of st. Thomas Aquinas,
18th and Morris sts., Philadelphia,
when Miss Mary B. Mahon became the
bride of Mr.. Edward A. Murnin, of the
firm of Ross 4 Murnin, 1928 Walnut st.
The bride who vas given away by her
father was attired in a gown of white
satin, trimmed with rare old lace. Her
tulle veil was festooned with a diamond
pendant, a gift from the groom. She
carried a bouquet of white roses and
was attended by her sister, Miss Ella
M. Mahon, who wore a gown of pink
silk trimmed with white chiffon and a
picture hat of pink chiffon and carried
a bouquet of pink roses. The groom
was attended by his brother Mr.. Joseph
NJ. Murnin. A reception was held at
the home of the brides parents, 1908
South 18th street. Guests from New
York, Boston, Chicago, Jersey and
Schuylkill County, were present. The
bride and groom are both prominent
members of society. They left on a
tour of the South and expect to return
about February 25th.

The Coming Election.

Although the Spring election is less
than two weeks off, little interest in the
event seems to have developed as COM
pared with former years. The whole
ticket is to be elected, including a
mayor, two councilmen, collector, as
SCISSOR and commissioner of appeal.
The terms of Councilman Harris and
Buck expire and Frank Sheppard as
Commissioner of Appeal. Mayor
Baker is a candidate again and j.
Albert Harris has announced himself
as a candidate for council to succeed
himself. Mr.. Buck does not desire
to be elected again. Collector VanHorn,
it is reported, has said that he is a can
didate for reelection. For Collector the
names of Clarence Eldredge, Carl
Siebert, r. Penn Smith, John Bright
and Harry Hannah have also been
mentioned. Assessor Washburn is a
candidate for reelection. Mayor Ba-
ker will probably moi have any oppo-
sition for another term of two years.

ANGLESEA PENCILINGS

Mr.. and Mrs. Willard f. Housman
and little daughter returned from New

ded the contract for the erection of a
cottage at 24th and Pennsylvania ave
nues to VIM. T. Garrison to cost So, $50.
Notwithstanding that there is a full

pire this year and it is said they are

old Beecher cottage on Walnut avenue
which George j.. Ent bought and
renovated.
Kidney complaint kills more people
than any other disease. This is due to
the disease being so insidious that it
gets a good hold on the system before it
is recognized. Foley's Kidney Cure will
prevent the development of fatal disease
if taken in time. Sold 10y Cohen Bros,

Perfect Confidence.

Where there used to be a feeling of
uneasiness and worry in the household
when a child showed symptoms of
Group, there is now perfect confidence.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the
treatment of that disease. Mrs. M. /.
Basford, of Poolesvile, Md, in speak
ing of her experience in the use of that
remedy says: II have a world of conf
dence in Chamberlain's Cough Rene

Life of Abraham Lincoln.

AT the Wildwood public school or
Friday afternoon, February 18th, 1904
the following composition, written by
Alta Ryan, was read:
LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Abraham Lincoln was born in Ken
lucky Feb. II, 1909 in Hardin County
he split the rails for the log cabin. He
he had no education only what his
mother taught him and his fathers
education consisted of one years school
ing.
Hoping to better his fortune he
moved to Indiana.
When he was 10 yrs. of age the future
president hired out at $40 per month as
a hand on a flat boat and made a triI
to New Orleans. AT 25 years of age be
was sent to the Legislature and was
thrice reelected. He was an ungainly
maj little versed in the refinements oil
society
He was the 10Th President of the
United States and was inaugurated
March 4, 1861.
The Assassination of Lincoln occur.
ed on the night of the l4th of april,
1865 a few minutes after 10 o'clock.
He went to Ford's Theatre with his
wife and friends. He was shot by
John Wilkes Booth. The play was cal
led "Our American Cousin" After
fireing the shot, the murderer sprang
down to the stage but II of his spurs
caught in the flag with which the box
was draped and fell heavily and broke
his leg and ankle.
One time before Lincoln was shot
he had a dream. He said, about 10
days ago | retired very late. | had
been waiting for very important dis
patches from the front, | could not
have been in bed very long when a
death like stiffness came over me | fell
into a slumber for | was dreary, |
heard sobs al if a number of people
were weeping and sobbing, | thought
| left my bed and wandered down
stairs; there the silence was broken by
the same pitiful tone and sobbing but
the mourners were invisible. L went
from to room no living person
was in sight but the same mournful
sounds met me as | passed along, it
was light in every room, every object
was familiar to me. Where were all
the people grieving as if their heart
would break, | was puzzled aud alarm
ed, | kept on till l reached The east
ioOLA WIlCu l. eulcIcu. IHeIc l. met
with a sickning surprise, rested a
corpse wrapped in funeral vestments
around it were stationed soldiers who
were acting as guards and there was
a throng of people weeping and mourn
ing pitifully. Who is dead in the
White House | demanded of one of the
soldiers? The President was the an
swer. He was killed by an assassin.
Then there came a loud burst of grief
from the crowd which awoke me from
my dream. | slept no more that
night, and although only a dream, |
have been strangely annoyed by it
ever since.
After Lincoln was shot they took
him to a private house nearby, where
the most prominent men watched over
him, but he died the following morn
ing, April Is, 1865.

THE CONTROL OF ELECTIONS

Plans are almost matured for a rev.
olution in the election machinery of
the State. 1t is proposed to place the
entire control of all elections, State,
county and municipal, in the hands of
the county election boards, relieving
county and municipal clerks of all con-
nection with or responsibility for them,
and it is expected to put the finishing
touches to the bill effecting the change
at a conference of members of all the
county election boards in this city next
week.
The nominal sponsor of the plan is a
member of the Union County Board,
but there are strong indications that it
has been pretty thoroughly thought
out and that it has the backing OF lntu-
entail practical politicians i'll various
parts of the State. If this is the case
there will be little difficulty i'll getting
the necessary legislative authority for
the change. 1t Will be merely a question
of agreement on the details. The gen.
eral purpose is to give 10 the county
boards of election all the powers now
exercised by the clerks in connection
with elections. They will select the
polling places, issue the ballots, care
for the boxes and voting machines and
in addition fill vacancies IN district
boards.
Under the present system, with the
authority anu responsibility divided be-
tween the county boards, county and
municipal clerks, confusion is common
and delays and blundeTs are not infre-
quent. Often there Is a clash between
the three and lie II seems To know
just where the authority or the respon-
sibllity OF the u ends and the other
begins. There is strong reason, there
fore, pehind the desire to concentrate
these powers and responsibilities, to
place as far as possible the entire election
machinery III the hands of one set of
officials III each county, Whether the
county boards are or are not the proper
officials to exercise this control may be
questioned by those who see in this plan
a tremendous increase in the powers of
the county chalrmen of the two polite
al parties, who, IN effect, appoint the
election boards. But that a change is
necessary II that the placing OF the
election machinery under the control of
one responsible bipartisan body Will be
an Improvement cannot be denied.
The result of next Saturdays confer
ence will be awaited with much inter-
est.-Ne1cdrk advertiser.

A Thousand Dollars Thrown Away.

MY wife had lung trouble for over
fifteen years." writes Mr.. w. w. Baker,
of Plainview, Neb. 1--WE tried a num-
Der of doctors and spent overa thousand
dollars without any relief. She was very
low and 1 lost all hope, when a friend
suggested trying Foley's Honey and
Tar, which | did; and thanks be to this
great remedy it saved her life. She is
stronger and enjoys better health than
she has eve known in ten years. We
shall never be without Foley's Honey
and Tar and would ask those afflicted
to try it," Sold by Cohen Bros, Wild.
