Its output was 26,266,978 tons as com pared to 26,655.315 tons in 1905 while there is a decrease of 388,377, tons it does not detract from Lu zerne's position as the most fertile anthracite field in the country. The decrease can be accounted foi principally by reason of the suspen sion last April and May when the mines were idle for six weeks while negotiations were going on between the miners and operators which ended in a continuation of the a ward of the strike commission. The other 60 per cent, was mined in the counties of Carbon, Colum bia, Dauphin, Lackawanna, North umberland, and Schuylkill. THE ELKS AT HARRISBURG.

AUTO LICENSES. There is no denying the fact that William II. Berry has made an ef ficient state treasurer and is per forming his duties to the best inter ests of the people. This was dem onstrated when, sincle-hauded. he I exposed the gross frauds committed ! in the construction and furnishing of the capitol. Now it is said that there will be an inquiry concerning where the money paid for licenses for automobiles to the state high way department is expended. Every auto owner must take out a license costing him .$3 aud about 11,000 licenses have thus far been taken out, netting the state $33,000. Not a sent of this is paid to the state treasurer and Mr. Berry is go ing to ascertain why. D1DE POLICY Absolute Safety, with Satisfactory Service.

Cobbler Ellmore Fails in Promoting Hit Se cret and Mutt Return to the Bench. Having exhausted his slender savings, John Ellmore, "the poor Altoona cobbler," who discovered the secret ot burning ashes, must either sell his secret at a great sacrifice, go back to his bench, or starve. Not a very entrancing out look to a man who for some months has been thinking in millions. When Ellmore's discovery was first announced to the world offers to buy it came thick and fast. At that time he was in a position to sell out for enough money to keep the wolf from the door for the re mainder of his days. Friends. however, persuaded him to decline the offers and form a company of his own to manufac ture and market his formula. Ac cordingly it was decided to capital ize the concern at $20,000,000, but when the time came no one would buy the stock and the company proved a fizzle. Ellmore was a poor promoter. Ellmore had closed his humble cobbler's shop, but now, with his money all gone, he must return to it to make a living lor himself and family. DEATH RESULTS FROM SCUFFLE. As the result of a playful wrest ling match at Unityville on Satur day George Barklow died Tuesday morning from injuries which he re ceived at that time. At the election Booth at Unity ville, some men were whiling away the time during the progress of the primary with wrestling bouts. During one of these matches Mr. Barklow was thrown to the ground and another man fell heavily on top of him. It was at once seen that the man had been critically injured. Monday evening an oper ation was performed. Mr. Barklow. however, grew steadily worse ahd Tuesday morn ing he died. n CLERGYMAN RESIGNED. Rev. William Evans Kunkel, who has been the rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church at North umberland for a number of years, has resigned that charge. He will continue as rector of Christ Episco pal church at Milton, and will also serve the congregations of Watson town and Lewisburg. Rev. Chas. LeRoy Baker, now rector at Selins grove, and who is a general mis sionary of the Episcopal church, has been assigned to the Northum berland clulrch by Bishop Darlington. NEW DOG LAW. The new dog law is a good one. The brief title of the bill sets forth that it is to provide for the killing of dogs that run loose, wearing no collars containing tags that are to be proof that a tax on the dog has been paid. Bloomsburg has dogs in plenty to spare, and there are those who will not regret the kill ing off of a certain percentage of them in a legal manner. DIETRICK GUILTY. The trial of Teter Dietrick at Danville last week for the killing of Corky Jones, resulted in a ver dict of guilty of murder in the second degree. The jury was out but two hours. BREWERS AND SPEAK EASIES. District Attorney Small has is sued the following: "Information has been brought to my attention that some of the beer brewing companies, wholesale beer sellers and bottlers are not in business to supply the trade in this respective line, but on the contrary make a specialty of selling to speak easies and other " persons who are making a business in the sale of liquors. "I most respectfully ask the citi zens of this county to furnish me the information to bear out thi practice and in return I promise that I will proceed at once against such brewing companies, acrents and bottlers, to the end that this business must cease. "Licensing of liquor sellers is le galized 111 this Commonwealth and all who are entrusted with such license shall have the benefit of such lawful privilege. In sections of this county unlawful selling is daily being conducted, if the com plaints are true as made, it is up to the citizens of this county to bring the evidence to the prosecuting at torney where their cases will re ceive due consideration. "Information has also reached my office that speak-easy cases are being settled in Berwick and West Berwick. "All cases brought to my atten tion in this nature will be present ed to the Court in proper time. "The illegal liquor traffic has caused more trouble which has been settled finally in our criminal courts than any other matter. "All I ask is for the co-operation of the good citizens of this county to the end that the laws will be en forced to the letter. CHRISTIAN A. SMALL, District Attorney." ASSOCIATE JUDGE. At the Primary election last Sat urday William Krickbaum was nominated for Associate Judge by the Democrats. The vote was as follows: Krickbaum - - 1374 Black - - 979 Shaffer about 500 Geo. M. Hughes defeated W. O. Holmes for the Republican nomi nation by a very small majority. The county commissioners are now engaged in making the official count. Hughes' nomination is a pro nounced defeat for the organiza tion. A fight is now on between the machine and the antis for county chairman, Prof. Wilbur re presenting the former aud C. C. Yetter the latter. The county committee meets on Saturday. m . Meat Still Soaring. Tho Advances at Chicago Continue, and the End it Not Yet. Meats of all kinds with the ex ception of the poorest cuts of beef have been rising steadily in Chica go for three weeks, and dealers say that the advance will continue. In some of the poorer sections of the city retail dealers have not handled a piece of meat, except beef for the last three weeks. Lamb, pork and other meats are beyond the reach of their customers. Lamb has advanced three cents a pound in the last three weeks and the big wholesalers say that they cannot furnish enough at any price to supply the big hotels, cafes and restaurants. The paving of Market Square is rapidly progressing, and it looks like a good job. r1 L 0 0 K Every working day of the year, all of our time, all our capital, all our energies are concentrated on one thing namely the cor rect Outfitting of Men, Hoys and Children.
