CHANGES IN
THE OFFICES
FOUR
IMPORTANT OFFICfiKS
ARE TO RETIRE.
"Tommy" Daniels, the Veteran
County Official; Will Have Been
Twenty-one Years in the Service
of the County When He Hns Com
pleted the Term for Which He Was
Elected Last Tuesday Deputy
Sheriff Ryan Another Veteran
Likely to Remain'.
AVhf n .Mondaj', January 6, 1001, comes
thero will bo quite a general change
nbotit In the olllces of the court house.
Four of the Incumbents of the most
Important olllces retire nnd with thcni,
very likely, will go a number of their
deputies and clerks.
Sheriff Pryor quits the coutt house
and, Incidentally, politics, after hnvlng
nerved the county well and true for
nine years, successively, six years us
prothonotary anil three as sheriff.
Deputy Sheriff Frank K. Jtynn, who
lias boon In this one position under
every sheriff since Randolph Crlppen.
wltli the exception of a part of Sheriff
Lewis' term, Is counted upon to be re
tained by Sherlff-to-bc Schadl, and
there would not be much surprise
manifested if the incoming sheriff
would avail himself of tlio valuable
services of Deputy J. tt, Ferbor, who Is"
his kinsman, and with whom he Is on
the best of terms, socially.
Clerk of the Courts T, P. Daniels Willi
continue lit the ofllco In which lie has
grown up f i om a boy, and those hav
ing business In that particular olllce
will not regret It. In fact, It would be
perfectly satisfactory to these patrons
If "Tommy" Daniels was given a life
incumbency as clerk.
TS A VKTfiRAJJ.
Incidentally, Mr. Daniels may be
mentioned as the veteran county offic
ial, if we except "Uncle" Jnlse Hitter,
chief custodian of the county's welfare,
who draws' salary as tipstaff. It Is
eighteen years ago, this fall, that Mr.
Daniels went Into the clerk's olllce as
deputy, under his uncle, AV. G. Dan
iels. He continued with him for nine
years, was deputy to Clerk John II.
Thomas for six vents, and Is now clos
ing his thlid year ns chief of the office.
When he has concluded the term for
which he was elected Tuesday, he will
have been a county official for twenty
one years. And it Is saying only a part
of what might be said to voice tlio
unanimous opinion of the habitues of
the court house that the county is Mr.
Daniels' debtor.
Recorder-elect Km 1 1 Honn went into
office as a deputy to Clerk of the Courts
Thomas in January, 1S91, and has been
in that position since. He made per
sonal friends very rapidly 'by his gen
eral amiability and courtesy, and
politically he won a place In the front
rank of tho party lieutenants by his
effective work In South Seranton in
every campaign. Three years ago he
was slated for the office of recorder,
but, at the request of the leaders,
steppeil aside, In the interests of har
mony. This year he was somewhnt
chagrined to llnd himself called upon
to make a hard fight for the nomina
tion, but fighting is one of his strong
points and after two strenuous strug
gles his ambition is tinallyattained.
SUCC10SSOK XOT KNOWN.
Who his successor will be iu the cleik
of the courts' office Is not yet even
hinted. It Is understood that Elmer
Daniels and Charles J. Mirtz, the pres
ent assistants In that office, will be le
t a hied.
Who Mr. Honn will take 'with him
into the recorder's olllce lias not yet
been decided. Tlieio Is some talk about
the court house of the return of MIrh
Hnllio Taylor to the position of chief
deputy, which she relinquished a year I
ago, after a long incumbency In the '
position, 'but nothing has as yet do- ,
veloped to verify this rumor.
Ileum dur Fred Warlike, who ret lies ,
after one term as a county official, will
likely be beard from again. His big
victory over Charles Heuster, tluee
ycais ago, and iho very creditable
light he put up against the aggressive
and popular Bonn, makes him eligible
to a prominent placo In the ranks of
formidable candidates on the enemy's
side,
County Tieasurer M. J. Kelly, who
under the law cannot succeed himself,
will leave the court house immensely
i Ichor In friends and admirers than
when he entered it, and he was one nf
iho most popular and generally ad
mlied citizens of the county when he
did enter. He was fortunate, too, In
the selection of his deputies, and the
same regret will attend the departure
nf Mr. Coyne and Mr. (Jaffney as Hint
which will go with the leaving nf their
chief.
This Is pre-suppo.slng that Treasurer
oli'ct J. A. Seranton will Install new
deputies, Nothing has been learned of
what Mr, Seranton proposes to do, hut
that he will take In with him a new
force. Is hardly to be rhnraeterlzeiKas
a violent presumption. y
'I'll 10 1 ' I tOTJ I ONOTA 11 Y.
I'lothonotary John Copeland, who
will enter on his second term next

men who ijver held a county olllce,

Mr. Copeland, It Is Utidarslnod, doen

ofllco fmi'o. both he and the patrons
nf the office hidng perfectly sntlnOd

the prothonotory's ofllco for nine years
and Is looked upon hs the most likely
candidate to succeed Mr. Copeland,
Dlsttlcl Attorney John U. Jones, who
performed what; the politicians always
flguted ns an impossible feat, accom
plishing a re-election as district nttor
n.v, will wltli his retirement remove
from counjy politics tempoiai liy, at
leiist one of Its most Interesting char
acters. Mr. Jones has a way of his
own of doing things nnd while It was
often advised ngnlnst by his friends
nnd well wishers, ho generally proved
his method effective. Mr. Jones never
tired of doing favors and seemed hap
piest when lie was making others hnp
py. Tho many encomiums which he
received Informally from the bench
and bnr and formally from the grand
,1urlcH, who never failed to commend
him for his efficiency and court'esy, will
no doubt be long treasured by Mr.
Jones.
LEWIS RKTl'RXP.
His lellremonl makes way for the
return to the court house of one of
(he most capable of the many capable
officials with which Lackawanna, linn
been blessed. W. ft. Lewis, the dis
trict attorney-to-be, was' deputy pro
thonotary under Thomns H. Dale and
no small amount of the credit for th"
much praised system under which the
office operates, Is due to him. .Mr.
Lewis Is confidently counted upon tn
fully measure up tp every requiiement
of the office that was graced by thre"
of the most distinguished members of
the Lackawanna bar, the late lamented
Judge John F. Connolly, Judge II. M.
Kdwards nnd Judge John P. Kelt.
Register of Wills William Koch, Jr..
who again goes into rhe olHee with
nnother big majority that In Itself at
tests with all sufficiency ills groat pop
ularity among the people, announces
unreservedly that his present etllcletu
deputy, Henry F, Kochler, will be con
tinued in that office. Mr. Tvochler Is
one of the men without whom th" court
house would be a sort of strange lace.
Thirteen years ago be was a county
auditor. Later he was register of w IPs,
but he was elected by only one vote
and to avoid a contest, entered inlo
nn agieemenl to share the protits with
his opponent. When Mr. Koch was
elected three years ago ho secured M'
Koeliler as ills deputy and entrusted
to him the conduct of the olllce. Mr.
Koeliler Is a most efficient officer and
almost Indlspenslble to the ntne to
which he Is ntfached.
TO MOVE PLANT
TO WILMINGTON
Lackawanna Lubricating Company
Hns Passed Into New Hands and
Will Leave the City.
The luiger part of the stock of the
Lackawanna Lubricating company' lias
been sold to a number of Wilmington,
Del., capitalists, and within thirty-five
or forty days the plant will be moved
from Seranton to Wilmington. C. K.
Wade, ex-president and manager of the
company, nnd John F. Lewis retain
their interests in the company, and T.
H. AVatkins, H. P. Simpson and H. W.
Kingsbury dispose of their stock.
At u meeting held in Philadelphia,
October :!!), Choiles II. Smith, of AVil
mlugtou, who Is the most financially
Interested of the new stockholders, was
elected ptesldent. ". K. Wade, of this
city, was made vice-president, and
Hon. Horace Greeley Knovvles, of Wil
mington, takes Mr. Kingsbury's place
as secretary.
Necotlallons have been going on for
a considerable length of time, and the
works at Wilmington are already in an
advanced state of construction. They
will be completed In between thirty
and forty days, and tlio plant will then
be transferred. Operations will be con
ducetd by the new company on a very
large basis, and whereas at present but
twenty-tlve employes are used, the new
works will be started with seventy-live
or one hundred men on the pay roll.

GARDEN SPOT
OF THE WORLD
WONDERFULLY PRODUCTIVE
SOIL OF THE NORTHWEST.
Eugene W, Cleveland, One of the
First Settlers of the Far-Famed
Rounthwnlte Valley of Manitoba,
la Now in the City Believes Mani
toba and the Adjoining Provinces
Will Be the Scene of the Hemis
phere's Greatest Future Develop
ments His Mission Here.
It Is not tho lot of every man to
i:ec 11 vnst wilderness converted Into
a blooming, productive garden within
tho short space of twenty years but
there Is one man In Seranton who has
recti this great change wrought under
his very eyes.
He is Kttgeno W. Cleveland of Bran
don, Manitoba.
Sir. Cleveland Is 11 big, powerful
inuii, just In the prime of life und
Is u dlstnntlrelntlve of Former Presi
dent drover Cleveland. He Is hero to
supervise the construction of onRlncs
now being built at the Dickson works
for the Inter- Colonial railroad of Cnn
ndn. The engines are exi (acted Ho
make a big stir in the railroad world
nnd arc constructed according to plans
perfected by Mr. Cleveland which have
been tested many times on the rail
roads at his home und found to be
entirely practicable,
Mr. Cleveland owns extensive wheat
farms at Brandon, which has been
tormeil the gat don spot of the great
northwest, and got his Ideas about a
new method of applying the use of
team to a locomotive from experi
menting with the vnrious machines
used on his farm.
TURNED WESTWARD.
Twenty years ago last June Mr.
Cleveland married at his home in Nova
Scotia and Immediately stnrted for
the vast and then unsettled north
west. Mil father, through the Cana
dian government, bad obtained nn Idea
of the vast natural -wealth and ad
vantages of the great territory run
ning from the Red River to the Pa
cific which until about 1S78 was the
I mils of the Hudson Cay company for
a century and a half. Vast fortunes
had ben made by that company In
the fur trade and its officials jealously
guarded the secret of tho advantages
of the great territory over which they
held sway,
Thero wore six brothers of the Clove
lands and two of them decided to
cast their lot in the t!n almost un
known northwest. With their wives
,they started and after visiting some
or the big cities of the nnlteu States,
reached Emerson City in tlio line be
tween the States and Canada, whicli
Is the gateway for the traveler who
Is destined for the provlnqe of Manl
loba. After a journey of sixty miles
up thf Red River (hey reached St.
Boniface, now known tut Winlpeg. It
then had a population of less than
MM) Indians and half bred French nnd
little suggested the thriving metropo
lis Winnipeg Is to-dny, with Its fiO.OOO
population.
A FRIENDLY INDTAN.
The Cleveland party started west
ward and after journeying for flv
days through n pathless, uninhabited
country were- accosted by three In
dians who came to their camp fire.
Kindnesses to the Red men won their
friendship and learning that the party
was looking for a suitable location to
