The tabulated returns ot Tuesday's
election, which will be found In an
other pnge "f this Issue, wilt give tho
reader a better Idea of how the eundl
dldales tared at the liunds of the West
iicranton voters than can he told here,
but It mny not be out of place to note
the substantial vote received by Presi
dent McKinley, Congressman Connell,
Clerk of the Courts Daniels, District
Attorney Lewis, Treasurer Scranton,
Prothonotary Copeland, Kecorder
33onn and Representatives Reynolds
and James. It la to bo regretted that
John II. Fellows did not receive tho
party vote.
Tho voters of West Scranton are
proud of the fact that four residents
of. this place, Jlessrs. Daniels, Lewis,
Reynolds and James, came out of the
battle of ballots with substantial plur
alities. The manner In which tho mine work
ers showed their appreciation of Con
gressman Connell's efforts In their be
half during the recent strike is clear
to every one, and Instead of voting
ngnlnst htm they rallied to his support
In all the districts In a way that leaves
no doubt regarding their sincerity,
!Not alone was tho opposition over
come and all antipathy dispelled, but
their remains a substantial majority
in his favor which cannot be ques
tioned. West Scranton Is an Important fac
tor in Lackawanna county politics and
deserves to be from the fact that about
one-fifth of the county's population
is located west of the Lackawanna
river. With McKInley's election as
sured, the strike amicably settled und
renewed contldence among the busi
ness men and workingmen, there Is
every reason to believe that during
tho next four years there will be a
great building boom and industrial
growth hereabouts.

bloating around the nnkles, pallia
across tho lions when stooping, lifting
anything or when I exertca myself,
clearly proved I had kidney complaint.
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to
my notice through an advertisement
I saw In one of our papers, and I pro
cured a box from Matthews' Brothers
drug store. I followed up the treat
ment until I used several boxes. The
Inmeness and the bloating disappeared.

up with several wheelbarrows of stone
and dirt and raised street car tracks
on Cedar avenue, where the now rails
are now being laid. Neither horses or

PAINTING THE BRIDGES.
The Work Will Bo Commenced To
day by F. J, Johnson.
Tho contracts for the painting of the
Roaring Urook and Linden street
bridges, secured by F, J, Johnson, were
yesterday certllled by Controller How
oil, and Mr. Johnson will commence
work this morning.
Ho will bo paid $1,731 for painting
the Linden stieet bridge and l,420 for
painting the Roaring Urook bridge,
and expects to have the work com
pleted within two months. T,he bridges
are very badly In need of painting
and would have been seriously injured
had they been allowed to rest In their
present condition must longer.
In many pluces, especially on the
under. Bide of the Linden street bridge,
the rust Is over a quarter of an Inch
thick und In some places It has eaten
its way slightly Into the Iron. It will
be necessarily to thoroughly scrap
every part of the bridges before ap.
plying tho paint.
Scranton Gas nntl Water Company's
BUI for October.
It will bo remembered that tho
Scranton Gas and Water company
Rent 'i communication to the councils
tit tho city, through the mayor, on
Sept. 2S, Informing them that the ex
isting water rate of $1,000 a year would
have to bo discontinued and Hint a
new contract at un advanced llgurc
would have to be entered Into by the
city, If It wanted to be supplied with
water by the company. .
The communication further- an
nounced that the present rate would
remain In force until such tlmo as
councils took action and perfected an
adjustment. The communication was
read in select council and was referred
to a special committee, which has done
nothing whatever with It since.
The company olnclnls havo evidently
decided that councils are Ignoring
them, for City Clerk Lavello yesterday
received the bill for water for the
month of October, and It footed up
to $UG,fi7, Instead of $333.33, as hereto
fore. This Is nn Increase of $83.34 per
month, or a little over $1,000 a year.
It was learned late yesterday after
noon that a meeting of tho special
committee will bo held tonight In the
city clerk's olllce to consider tho ques
tion. The committee consists of
Messrs. demons, Chittenden, Ross,
Melvln and Roche.

MORE NEW INDUSTRIES.
That's What McKInley's Triumph
Means, Says Secretary Atherton.
"I believe," said Secretary At'herton,
of the board of trade, yesterday, "that
the news of McKInley's re-election will
have the effect of reassuring several
manufacturers who have been looking
around for sites and who consider
Scranton to be nboub as desirable a
location as they could find, but who
havo been a little timid of the conse
quences which would so surely have
followed the election of Mr. Bryan.
"I expect a visit within a few days
from a Brooklyn manufacturer of
spikes, who has long boon desirous
of locating outside of New York city
and who wns on the point of coming
hero when the coal strike began. That
scared him off for a time, and when
It was settled he was still a little bit
afraid until after election.
"I believe that Mr. McKInley's elec
tions means more for Scranton than
most people imagine, and I prophecy
a wonderful Industrial growth for this
city within tho next year."
MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
Walter Kirke Is Doing Finely at the
Lackawanna Hospital.
Waller Klrke, the 12-year-old boy
whose parents reside In the rear of
North Washington avenue, and who
was taken to the Lackawanna hospi
tal seriously injured as tho result of
being Impaled on an Iron fence spike,
is making excellent progress at the
Lackawanna hospital, where no doubt
of his recovery Is now entertained.
Dr. L. M. Gates, of tho hospital staff,
assisted by Drs. Busch and Walker,
made a careful examination of the
wound the boy suffered. The point of
the spike penetrated the abdomen
about thio Inhces, but any very serious
results were prevented by Hie prompt
examination. Contrary to llrst ex
pectations, It was not found necessary
to operate.
A MATTER OF DRESS.
Mrs. Bryant Accused of Larceny by

Mrs. Mary Bryant, of West Scran

CHILDREN MUST
BE VACCINATED
r
SO SAY THE MEMBERS OV THE
BOARD OF HEALTH.
Health Officer Allen, In His Monthly
Report at Last Night's Meeting,
Declared That tho Vaccination
Law Is Almost a Dead Letter in
Scranton Tho Board Decided to
Look Up the Law on the Subject
and Then Bring tho Matter Be
fore School Authorities.
In the report which ho read at last
night's meeting ot the board of health
Dr. W. 13. Allen, the health olllcer. re
marked upon the almost universal dis
regard In this city of observance of
tho law of vaccination. "It has been
a long tlmo since there has been small
pox here," the report read, "but the
disease has been epidemic In other
sections of the state, within the year,
and It is liable to occur In Scranton
at any time."
The vaccination law Is being gener
ally disregarded, Dr. Allen claimed,
and a largo amount of discussion was
created among the members by tho
statement. There Is nn act of legis
lature In the state which provides that
the superintendent of public Instruc
tion must give orders to the school
teachers that all their pupils must
bring to school with them and show
certificates of vaccination.
The board decided, after a good deal
of talk oler the matter, to not take
any Immediate action, but to carefully
study the law In the case and at tho
next meeting to endeavor to formulate
some plan for successfully meeting the
dimculty.
PRESIDENT'S SUGGESTION.
President Reynolds declared that In
his opinion It would bo perfectly prop
er for the board to enact some law
by which they could take immediate
action, but Dr. Allen suggested that
tho law bo first looked up and then the
matter be brought before the school
directors, under whoso jurisdiction It
properly comes, Dr. Allen's full report
was as follows:
Gentlemen: During the month of October
thirty-one nuisances were complained of to the
board of health, twenty-eight of which weie
abated. Seventy-eluht looms were disinfected and
all houses placarded where contagious ilinfOioe
bail been reported. Complaint has bcu made ot
a small ftream of water which is irtually an
open sewer, cioasirt Stone, Prospect, 1'ittslou
and Cedar avenue?, between Pear and Genet
itrcet, and running: uncoveied through opri
lots from Cedar avenue to the river. I tlud theie
are file .iter closets, either directly over the
brook or near the water'ii edge, in the live hun
dred block, five in the four hundred block and
one below Cedar avenue. As there is very little
water in tho brook at the present time, the con
ditions arc anything but sanitary. It might be
advisable to have this water course converted
into a sewer which would not be expensive and
as there is so much fall on either side of the
Htrcam It would be difficult to locale closet
that would not soon drain into it.
I would call the attention of the board to the
fact that the law us to vaccination is virtually
a dead letter in this city. It is a loiijf time
since there has been any ,niall-pox here, but the
discae has been epidemic in other sections of
the state within the year, and it is liable to oe
cur in Scranton at any time. There is a state
law governing this matter.
Very lespectfully,
W. E. Allen, Health Officer.
MENACE TO HEALTH.
In regards to the complaints men
tioned in the llrst part of his report,
the health officer declared them to be
not only sources of great annoyance,
but actually menaces to tho public
health. Mr. O'Malley solved this diffi
culty by making a motion to the effect
hat people with out-houses near the
creek to remove them as far as possi
ble from the water. The motion was
carried.
A communication was received from
select and common councils, in the
form of a resolution passed by these
two branches of the city fathers. It
directed all local manufacturers using
dtumlnous coal to equip their smoke
stacks with a smoke consumer to do
away with tbe volume of smoke which
otherwise would prove a menace to
the health of the public tit large.
On motion of Mr. Eiselo councils'
action In passing tho resolution was
approved and endorsed. A large num
ber of bills were then read by the sec
retary .and passed by the board.
