Toiluy will be a ll," day in tin
history of rnrljundult'. Alieudy the
Htrveta nrn lii'KlnnitiK to till ti with
people and the Incomintr trains bring
crowds of itsoiis who ure hi-re to ln-lp
cek-brute our country' uutal day. At
an early hour this iiiorniii the country
people liefcim to pour in and never were
ho many rustics seen on the streets as
there ure tod:;y.
The city hus undeiBone u sudden
truiisformiitloii. Lust night left the
buildings comparatively undecoruted
but when persons awoke this momlnir
they hud bloomed out in a beautiful
dress of bunting itnd Hags.
Every person in the city has seemed
to enter the plan of a big celebration
with enthusiasm, and there Is no doubt
but what It will be a success. The
parade will be the greatest display ever
witnessed In this city. The civic par
ade under eharife of Captain M. J.
Quinn will move promptly at SLSO and
will pass over all the principal streets.
Jt will be immediately followed by the
address of the day by Hon. Calusha
A. Grow, congressman-at-Iarge from
Pennsylvania.
The fantastic parade In the afternoon
will be the funniest feature of the day.
It will move at 2 p. m., and as large
prizes have been offered for the fun
niest and most original get ups, it will
be very large, A series o(races will be
held after the paraile on Main street.
In the evening there will be a bicycle
parade in which all wheelmen are in
vited to participate. When dark enough
the fireworks will be set off from San
dy's field. This will enable them to be
seen from any part of the city.
TWO ACCIDENTS ALREADY.
The I'snnl Cnrelcsncs of the Small
Boy Lnds Disastrously.
As long as there Is a Fourth of July
the small boy will celebrate in his
own way and the usual number of ac
cidents will occur.
This year they seem to have com
menced early enough as two accidents
have happened already. The little 12-year-old
son of Willium McMullen, the
tailor. Is one of the llrst victims. He,
with a number of companions, was en
gaged In firing a cannon, and to make
the report louder tilled it up with
gravel and small stones. Just as the
cannon exploded young McMullen
stepped In front of it and received the
charge in the leg. He was carried
home and Dr. Nlles called, who dressed
the wounds. He was oMIged to cut
out part of the charge, which was em
bedded deep In the calf. The leg was
badly burned also, and It Is needless
to say that the boy will spend the
Fourth In bed.
The second accident occurred to
James, the little son of Mr. and Mrs.
Hugh Wylle. The little fellow had
been busy preparing a monster kite
to send up on the Fourth, and was
trying It when the accident happened.
The kite falling suddenly and hitting
the boy upon the forehead. An artery

Wlien j'ou think about our shoe store just remember three things. First, the marvelous gro wth of our shoe busi
ness iu the face of active competition, is due to the brains and the' capital invested, united with methods that command
ing the respect of our public, has created an ever increasing constituency. Second, every day our shoe store grows in
popular favor, grows more crowded, too. We don't sell shoes for looks and not for wear, or sho2s for wear and not for
looks. It is just as easy to combine the two and do it cheaply, with our usual enterprise and determination to make our
shoe store the most popular one in Scranton. Third, if this thing be true, our shoe news has a particular claim upon
your attention.
