The Winona boys did well wilh
their dance at Shawnee Fark Satur
day night. There were several
things worked against them how
ever, the greatest of which was the
delay iu reaching the Fark. A
break in the feed wire blocked
travel on the trolley, and it was
nine o'clock when the Catawissa
Band, which furnished the dance
music reached the pavilion. A little
later a heavy rain set iu, which it
is believed kept many away who
would otherwise have attended.
The boys, however are very grate
ful for the generous patronage, and
wish to thank all those, who by
their presence and support helped
to make the event a success. Every
body was delighted with the music.
The Catawissa Band can consider
itself engaged when the Winonas
hold another dance. The proceeds,
after all expenses had been paid
amounted to about thirty-five
dollars.

Kremer's powerful melodrama,
"The Fatal Wedding," claim that
this company which will be seen at
the Opera House tonight is in many
respects the most evenly balanced
that has ever been exploited by
them. Nothing but words of
praise have come from those cities
where it was presented last season
and the performance of the little
lady w ho enacts the part of Jessie
the little mother has been uni
versally pronounced a masterpiece
of artistic child acting-. There are
no weak points in the cast, and
even in some of the minor parts
are to be found people who have
appeared only in stellar roles before
the public, but who are destined to
speedy return to that eminence.
The production is complete in every
detail.

must have been more plentiful in
those days, and wages higher. Just
look at the price of things:

Strike Situation Urowicg Serious.
The great coal strike is apparent- j
ly growing more serious with each I
succeeding day. Wild scenes of
disorder marked the last forty-eight
hours in the coal mining towus of

have been called out to sustain the
law's majesty. Soldiers are now
encamped in every valley and the
army is the largest on duty since
the Homestead strike of 1S92. The
state troops in the field, their lo
cation in the strike regions and the
number of men in each organization
are as follows: Lackawanna coun
ty, Thirteenth Regiment, 5S0; Lu
