Eighteenth ward, where there are can
didates galore.
For select council the Republican
candidates arc John J, Hoban and
Thomas O'Boylc, and tho latter Is also
the nominee of tho Democratic and
Union parties, while Hoban Is also the
Citizens and Independent candidate.
For common council, John McHalo and
William Rush have their names on tho
tickets of alt tho above mentioned
parties.
John T. Flanner.v, James F. Noone
and Alderman John P. Kelly all aspire
to be the chief magistrate of this thriv
ing bailiwick, and all three are confi
dent of success. Flannery Is a Repub
lican, Noone a Democrat, and Kellv ti
Unlon-Cltlzens-Indepcndent candidate.
Tho candidates for assessor and con
stable are too numerous to mention.
An interesting light Is on In tho
Twenty-first ward for school control
ler, In which CSrlfllth T. Davis, the Re
publican nominee, Is confident of win
ning out over his Democratic opponent,
Edward J. Leonard, the present Incum
bent. Tho Republicans have a major
ity of twenty-five votes In the two dis
tricts, and If they poll the regular num
ber, Davis will be elected.
It Is essential that every Republican
voter cast his ballot to Insure Republi
can victory, and IE tho stay-at-homes
will follow the crowd, the result will be
eminently satisfactory.

sault on Thomas Jones.
Their testimony. In substance, was to
the efieet that the men were going
homo peaceably when the officer struck
Jones with his club and placed liim

TO IMPROVE MILK SUPPLY
Plan That Has Been Devised by Food
Inspector Widmayer The Dif
ficulty at Present.
Food Inspector Widmayer has a new
plan for the improvement of the milk
supply of this city, and while It has not
yet received the approval of Director of
Public Safety Wormser, it is being
seriously considered by that ofllclal.
The food Inspector believes that he
should be given authority to give cer
tificates of endorsement to those milk
dealers who secure their milk from far
mers and dairymen who observe clean
liness In their dairies and whose milk
Is up to the standard required by low.
"The great dillloulty with our milk
supply," snld the food inspector, "Is
that It Is not clean In many Instances.
As far as the milk Itself Is concerned,
It averages a higher per cent, of butter
fat and total solids thnn the milk sold
In many eastern cities, Including New
York city.
"A large percentage of tho farmers
selling milk to local dealers are not
over clean In their dairies. In many
dallies hereabouts the cows are not
curried for months at a time and their
bodies become very dirty. In ninny in
stances the stables In which these cows
nro kept dining the winter are far from
clean. I have no jurisdiction outsldo
tho city limits and can, 'of com so, do
nothing to remedy these conditions,
"I believe (hat If I was empowered
to give certificates endorsing tho inllk
supply of those dealers who purciinso
their milk from clean dairies, that con
ditions could be much Improved. I
would, of necessity, Inspect tho dairies
before granting such n certificate, and
would assure invself that tlinv were
kept clean and In proper satiltary con
dition. "Tho dairymen, to secure such certlll
cntes, would Insist that tho farmers
selling them inllk 11 vo up to tho pioper
requirements, mid 1 believe that In this
way wo would hnvo a lifiiner and
purer milk supply. The dealer who
tailed to secure a ceitlllcate would find
jils tmde dropping off, nnd would uso
every endeavor possible to secure milk
from a dean and wholesomu dairy."
Mr. .Wldinuyer has Inspected u num
ber of dallies since ha has been food In
spector and has condemned inllk coming
from them, but his manifold duties In
this city prevent lilm from devoting
only very little tlmo to this work, Sumo
of the stories ho tells of conditions e'x
IsitiiB' In many dallies not many miles
from Scranton nro ulmost Incredible.
"Tho truth of the mutter s," said he,
"that the farmers do not receive enough
for their milk to encourage them to
keep their ilulrles clean. A farmer re
ceiving a cent and thKeiiuarters or a
cent and five-eighths a quart for his
mill: cannot bo expected to be 'overly
clean, The farmer should receive more
for his inllk, uud tho consumer should
