Some Events of the Day on the West
Side of the City Noted.
REV. A. J.WEISLEY WAS CALLED
Asked to Accept Pastorato of Washburn
Street Presbyterian Church Trouble
Between Two. Debating Societies
Pigeon Thtoves ut Work.
The West Sldo interests of The Tribune
have been placed in the hands of Emer
on Owen, to whom all news announce
ments and complaints may be addressed.
A goodly number of the members of
the Washburn Street Presbyterian
church met by special call last evening
to take action on summoning' a pastor.
The church has been without a head
Blnce Rev. D. W. Skellenger resigned
and went to Washington, D. C. Rev.
Dr. Logan, of the East Side, presided
at last night's meeting. The name of
Rev. A. J. Welsley, of Avoca, who won
the hearts of the Washburn Street
church members when he preached to
them some weeks ago, was proposed,
and amid enthusiasm received the full
Vote of those present. An invitation
will Immediately be presented to Rev.
Welsley.
The main auditorium of the church
was opened for the first time last night.
The first services will be held in the
edifice one week from tomorrow, and
the dedicatory services will be held
later.
Difference Between Debating Societies.
An Interesting battle Is on between
the members of the Welsh Baptist
church Young People's society and
those of the Hyde Park Literary and
Debating organization. The latter so
ciety has challenged the former to a
series of debates for the possession of
the Browning cup, now in the hands of
the church organization. Three months
have elapsed since the challenge was
made, and a few weeks ago a commit
tee from "the church society accepted
the challenge. At a meeting held a
week ago, the acceptance was recon
sidered and a refusal to debate on May
J 10 was made. The young men's organi
zation then replied that if the accept
ance was not renewed it would claim
the cup by forfeit, under the govern
ing rules. At last night's meeting of
the church society the challenge of the
literary society was declared not bind
ing, owing to a previous series ar
ranged .with the Vesper society, of
which only one debate has come off.
Members of the debating society allege
that Its rival Is dodging the meeting.
A prominent member of the former
society said last night that his so
ciety would push the debate on the
ground that the previous debate had
been declared off. The Welsh Baptist
organization denies the allegation.
Victims of Pigeon Thieves.
During Thursday night William and
John Allspaugh, aged respectively 24
and 23, were robbed by pigeon thieves.
It was 2 o'clock yesterday when Mrs.
Allspaugh was awakened by dogs
barking. She did not heed the warn
ing, however, and, as a result, her sons
are minus 350 worth of pigeons. The
burglars tore a strip off the barn in the
rear of the Allspaugh home and thus
captured the pigeons enclosed therein.
No clue has been yet found to the rob-
uers. xiliw la tunic lime -me uujfa imvv

TORTURED TOR. YEARS,
l FIREMAN'S BATHE WITH RHEUMATISM
Uow Conquered the Disease After
Years of Misery.
Henry Wagner, assistant engineer at
Fire Station No. 6, Cleveland, O., says:
"For the past nine years J have had rheu
matism at Intervals and suffered greatly.
I would be off duty from ten days to two
weeks each time, and although I tried
many different so-called remedies, could
not obtain any relief. When I first heard
of thai remarkeble cures Munyon's Rheu
jnatusm Remedy was making I was very
skeptical, but Just about then I hod a
very bad attack and concluded to give
them a trial. The first bottle relieved me
very much, and by the time I had taken
the second bottle I was completely cured.
I have not had a rheumatic pain since, al
though I have 'been' wet .' many times.
Now I use Munyon's Remedies In my
home and find them most excellent."
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure is guaran
teed to our rheumatism in any part of the
body. Acute or musqular rheumatism Is
cured In from one to five days. It never
falls to our sharp, shooting pains In the
arms, legs, sides, back or breast, or sore,
sees In any part of the body In from one to
three hours. It Is guaranteed to promptly
cure lameness, stiff and swollen joints,
tiff back and all pains In the hips, and
loins. Chronlo rheumatism, sciatica, lum
bago or pain In the back are speedily
cured.

Df. Allen drove onward on the eastern
Side and the Price 'horses turning
abruptly to the light came Into
contact with the doctor's buggy. One
horse got his leg between the spokes of
the Allen buggy, and furiously kicked
the dashboard and other parts of te
vehicle Into pieces. The doctor, owing
to his corpulence, was retarded in get'
ting out and a chance kick from the
horse tapped him lightly on the breast.
His escape from more serious Injury
was miraculous,

VICTORY FOR LUZERNE
Its Feathered Representatives Won
FiflHts at Priceburrj.
THEY MADE" IT FIVE STRAIGHT
It Was the Greatest Cooking Main Seen
In This Part of the State for
Many Years and Attracted a
Great Crowd of Sports. .
All the sports who pinned their faith
in the gameness of up the valley chick
ens -were sadly and sdrely disappointed
In the outcome of the big cocking main
between Luzerne ' and Lackawanna
birds, which was held in Prlceburg yes
terday. The PlttBton men won and
carried away the purse of $300 and an
amount in bets aggregating more than
$600. Altogether, It was figured out by
the disgusted losers that the Luzerne
crowd carried home with them at least
$1,000.
Early yesterday morning all roads
coming Into Prlceburg converged to
gether near James Twlss' Grove House,
on the Olyphant road, and these paths
led to a building In the rear of the es
tablishment. The purpose that drew
Ihcm together was the cocking tourna
ment that had been arranged. .
Birds from PlttBton and Wilkes-
I'arre were pitted against fowls from
Carbondale, Olyphant, and Jermyn.
Tho size of the purse contested for was
Jl.'.O a side. Nine battles had been
agreed upon and whichever side won a
majcrlty of these would be entitled to
the purre. In the middle of the hall
was erected the sand pit, eight feet In
diameter, and there the spurred roost
ers fought to win.
Fakir Was on the Ground.
The fakir was there, one on each side
of the room. There was the device
known as the Wirld's fair game, a table
with three revolving forks on It. The
numbers at which the prongs pointed
when stopped would earn for the in
vester double his money. The other ap
paratus was fashioned after the nlckle-
tn-tho-slot machine and caught many
suckers. The games were worked In
the interim between the acts In the
sand pit.
It would be impossible to attempt to
describe the appearances of the men
who were present. In the shape of
headgear, the yachting cap preponder-
a tad. A majority had on neither collar
nor tie, and In the absence of any func
tionaries to maintain something like
order, at times the wildest confusion
prevailed. The clink of silver Bhowed
that a single gold standard was not
yet the motto of the crowd.
At 10.55 a scrap battle, which means
one Just arranged on the spot, was
fought between two Carbondale birds,
a black and a red. The round lasted
five minutes and ended In favor of the
black.
Heaviest Birds First.
Here Is the point where the main
started. It was agreed on both sides to
select the heaviest birds first and pit
them, ngalnst each other. Two black
and red birds, each weighing five
pounds six ounces, went at each other
and in three minutes the Plttston bird
won. The cheering that greeted this
victory started the peaceful and law
abldi.ig residents of the Ridge over the
bills.
The second fight was In the pounds-ounce
class, and was won by Plttston
in four minutes. Two black and reds
were entered. The people from Lu
min won -tho third .also, which was
between a white pyle from Carbondale
and a brown red from down the creek.
This fight lasted seven minutes. Each
bird weighed five pounds two ounces.
A black red from Plttston and a cotton
ball from Jermyn contested for suprem
acy In the fourth fight, each weighing
four pounds and eight ounces. The
Jermyn bird lost and there was such a
rumpus that the residents Imagined a
powder mill had exploded.
Here was four consecutive victories
for Jhe Luzerne crowd and another
meant the winning of all the stakes.
Plttston had five chances In which to
scratch out a victory and it was in
cumbent on the people from Rainbow
county to win all or lose the day.
Hardest Battle of tho Day.
The fifth battle was the hardest one
of the day; it was between two reds,
each weighing five pounds and one
ounce. The first victory for the Jermyn
Bports was here scored; their bird won
la five minutes. The sixth battle was
the lust of the main because It was won
by the Plttston bird and that was five
Victories out of nine, which ended the
necessity of proceeding further.
Two scrap battles between local birds
were fought In the afternoon, but the
most of the crowd had gone and there
wns no Interest taken; the Plttston
people went home rejoicing, and the de
feated sports had lost their money and
had no further ambition to haunt the
place where the willows bloomed for
them. The betting at the beginning of
the contest was even.

"Madam, your kindness overpowers me.
This will be a day to be marked with a
white stone, as Du Maurler says. But, if
you will pardon my dullness, I do not quite
understand what you meant by this refer
ence to my politics and to my great office.'

TO OUR PATRONS :
Washburn-Croshy Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, ana
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers aro
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling haa
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour fur above other
brands.
