M'CANLESS NOT SURE
Wants Man Who Can Win to Run for
Congress.

W. W. McCanless, the prosecuting at
torney who was so successful in conduct
ing the proceedings in the case in which
the participants of the Shady Bend tar
party were convicted and sentenced to
jail, denies that the banquet which is to
be held in Lincoln is for the promotion of
his interest as a candidate for congress
in the Sixth district.
His admirers were responsible for the
story which was published short time
ago who communicated the facts to u
State Journal correspondent while in Lin
coin Center during the progress of the
trial.
Mr.. McCanless was seen yesterday
while passing through the city and when
asked concerning the banquet he stated
that it was being held for the good of the
cause and not for the interest of any par
ticular man. During the conversation he
said:
I do not know that l will be a candidate
for congress. There is lots of time to
think about that matter. We have lots
of good material in our district for the
place and it is my ambition to work for
the interests of the Democratic party ana
run for congress that can win regardless
of personal ambitions.
II noticed by the State Journal that We
are going to have a Democratic banquet
in our county and that the purpose is TO
boost me for congress. We are indeed
going to have a Democratic banquet and
a good one but its purpose is not to boost
me for congress. We are having the ban
quet for the good of Democracy, to work
up some enthusiasm and get the boys
united and doing things
Il believe the Democrats are going TO
have great chance to win this year both
in our district and throughout the entire
state and country.

BRIDGE FOR CHARITY
Society Women Play Benefit Game
and Make $500.

Chicago, Dec. 2.=Bridge whist was
played by 800 society women yester-
day for the benefit of a girl of the
slums. the identity of whom none of
them knew. The girls reclamation
had been already begun by the Paul
ist fathers The money raised yes
terday, about $500, will be turned into
the fund to complete the reformation.
The girl, who is now 10, is said to
have fallen in love two years ago
while attending a convent. She ran
away from school and was married.
Her father, said to be prominent, and
a contractor. disowned her. She was
deserted six months after her mar
riage and her father refused to take
her back
After efforts in other directions she
gradually drifted into the underworld.
She became a victim of drugs and
finally told her story to Father Ferry.
He had her placed in a sanitarium,
where she has been cured of the drug
ha bit. Now remains the work of get
ting her back into the paths she left
two wears ago.

THE IRON SERVANT.

There is new servant in the house
who is willing to work at all times and
at all hours of the day, never finding
fault with the children, complaining
about illness or demanding half holidays
and evenings. This new servant ''eats"
nothing but oil, and her maintenance
is almost nothing. Furthermore, this
servant can be trusted, will not carry
away groceries, clothing or valuables.
Not until recent years did mechanical
ingenuity direct its attention toward
the labor problems in the home, and
the result has been a host of household
appliances to do the drudgery about
the house. But all of those machines
demand power, some light, safe. cheap
and portable powers, and nothing could
supply this power better than the cop

Jennings was on a hunting trip in the
Pocono mountains some days ago and his
automobile became disabled. He left It
at Gouldsboro to be repaired and
turned there yesterday with Father
Iynett to bring the machine here. While
in Gouldsboro Father Lynett married the
Holdens and Jennings invited them to
start their honeymoon with an automo-
bile trip to Scranton
1t was about 1870 o'clock when the
party approached a small bridge over the
Lehigh river about three miles from
Gouldshoro- There was a light on the
bridge and the automobile started across
the structure at only slightly reduced
speed. Just as the machine got on the
bridge something went wrong and the
automobile swerved crashing into the
rail of the structure and fell ten feet into
the river.
Jennings and Father Lynett were
caught under the machine. People in the
nefgkborhood heard the crash and sum-

wrecked automobile from the injured
men Jennings, Father Lynett and the
