tion assembled do hereby urge the
members OF the House OF Represent
atives and Senate to work and vote for
the repeal OF the acts known as
the state constabulary and trespass
laws. They are unAmerican and In
enforcement OF the laws, as shown to us
during our recent trouble, each act
committed by the body Of men, reveal
ed this truth with increasing clearness
that the purpose OF their creation
was to destroy II possible all the ave-
nues OF escape from the lower conditions
and to increase the intensity OF labor
struggles In every attempt TO obtain
any higher plane OF civilization and
manhood.
At Saturdays session 1t was rec
commended that local unions select
committees to consult the school boards
to open night schools In all mining
towns and lengthen the term OF day
school to ten months.

At the last Democratic county con-

M. Mcdonald, OF Reynoldsville, County
Commissioner e. 7. McGaw and Editor
John McMurray, Of Brookville. G. G.
Brown, OF Punxsutawney, and W. II.

formulate new rules for the government
Of the Democratic party in Jefferson
county, and the county committee was
authorized to adopt the new rules II
satisfactory to the committeeman. A
meeting OF the committee on new rules
and the county committee was held In
Punxsutawney last Friday and the new
rules formulated were, with very few
changes, adopted by the county com
mittee.
About the only important features OF
the new rules over the old rules is that
candidates for borough or township
Offices must be nominated by caucus
Before they we're nominated by caucus
or primary election. Another change
is that the minority party will only
nominate one candidate when there are
three to be elected. county commission
ers for instance. Under the old rules

make hit In Reynoldsville last week.

given lemon" two nights. Friday at

"Uncle Josh Spruceby."

Recognizing the tendency OF the
times to cheaper prices for sensible,
healthy amusements, the managers Of
the "Uncle Josh Sprnceby" company,
which appears at Park Theatre on
Thursday, March Goth, have decided to
appear this season at popular prices,
25, 80 and 30 cents. The wisdom OF this
move appears to have been justified by
the packed houses that greet the COM
pany everywhere. The play Is an
enjoyable New England comedy-drsma
and for the past seven years has
appeared only at regular prices all over
the country. Special scenery, the great
saw mill scene. the big operate orches-
ira and first-class company are still
carried and no attempt has been made
to cheaper the attraction on account OF
playing at popular prices.
