DEADLOCK IS
AGAINJJROKEN
THIS time It is smashed for
GOOD.
John Crutkshank Voted with the
Hufnngle Faction at Dickson City
And Brought About the Election of
James Reed Council Nowr Has
Nine Members and a Deadlock Is
Impossible BUI of tho Water
Company Is to Be Bald Today.
Treasurer's Bond Approved.
Tho Dickson City couiicltinaulo dead
lock was broken Inat nlglil by thu tle
llcullon of John Crulkliunk to the
llufnu&le Htandard. The water bill
was panned a Hufnnglo man was
elected to 1111 the vacancy existing In
the First want and, Incidentally, all
the good citizens of the borough are
rejoicing.
Jt la understood that a promise was
fpcured trom Crtilkshank by rcrtalu
members of the Hufnagle. or "reform"
faction, In the morning, by the terms
of which he agreed to vote with them
on every question. When the hour for
the mooting arrived, he and the foul
Itufnagle men, Including Mr. llufaa
Sle hltnsplf, Henry Hngeti, Conrad
Snvdpr and Stephen Boddoe, weie pie
mt In the council chamber.
This constituted a quorum, and
Chairman Ilufnnglt called the meet
ing to order and directed Secretary
JlcPherson to call the roll. Just as
the latter way preparing to do till",
the three remaining McGnrrltyltes,
Henry MoCJarrlty, I.oulM Uichaijds and
. c. lleesc, showed up. They had
been around looking for Crutkshank,
whom they did not know had de
ter ted them.
WATEU COMPANY Jilf.L.
They made home objection to the
luldlng of the meeting, alleging that
no business could bu transacted be
cause of the deadlock. Chairman Huf
naglc ordered them to keep quiet and
directed the clerk to read the bill of the
Dickson City AVater company, sent in
by Secretary Jeffrie. The bill was for
water furnished th eborough during the
month of April and was for only $4.".
Bills for water furnished during pre
vious months had been presented and
passed by the council previously.
Tho presence of so many citizens In
the council chamber evidently had a
gooi1 moral effect on the JIcGurrltyltes
or else they began to realize that they
couldn't depend on Crulksbonk, for
they all voted in favor of passing the
bill. It was then moved that council
suspend tho tegular order of business
and clcet u member to 11 the vacancy
rnuscd by the vote In tho First ward
cl the List election.
A vote was taken on tills motion, hut
it resulted In a tie, the lines being
ilraun as hrretofoie. Tills sui prised
the reformers, who knew of Cruik
fc'nauk's piomise, mid an adjournment
Mas taken until next Monday night at
7.3(1 o'clock. Crulksliank was taken in
hand out in the corridor by .some of the
more influential members of the lfuf
n.igle fuel inn, just as he was being
sun minded by the McCirrllyites.
A few well-chosen words and a re
ferenco to his earlier promise resulted
in a renewal of his pledge and in about
thre minutes more, tin- council was
again In session. Cruiksliank voted to
proceed with the election of a council
man to till the vacancy, and Cluiii-
mon Hufnnglo asked for noinlimtlonn,
despite vigorous objections of Messrs.
tteeie, Ulcharda and Hagar. who
claimed that the proceedings were Ir
regular. tlKED ELECTED.
James Heed was nominated as the
Ilufnaglo candidate to All the vacancy
In the First ward, and John Itcllly was
nominated an the McfJarrliy candi
date. These are tho two men who ran
against one another In February, nnd
who received the same number of
votes each. Crulkrhank voted for
lined and he was declared elected, te
celvlng five votes to Jlellly's three.
Heed ..ns accordingly declared elected.
IJeforo adjournment was taken, Reese,
McGarrlty and Hagar filed out of thn
room, muttering about certain dire and
terrible things which are going to hap
pen. They were apparently deeply en
ragd at cmlkshank's action,
The latter lecelved hearty congratu
lations front the scores of citizens
gathered in the council chamber and
around the borough building. Even If
he should desert the Hltfnngle Bide
now, th Intter have a majority when
Heed's vole Is counted,
The water bill will be paid this
morning, council 'having approved the
treasurer's bond after the election of
Heed, and as soon as It Is the water
will be turned on again as soon as
possible.
The "reform" party now In eontiol
promise that the borough affairs will
lie administered In a business-like way
nnd that the strictest economy will bo
practiced during the coming year.
CARNEGIE'S FIRST JUMP.
It Was from 925 to S35 a Month as
ft Telegrapher.
Plum Vmliew Ciitnc'Klf'q "'I hp Ktiinlii' of Ilii-l-
When I had the honor to become a
lailioad man, the Pennsylvania rail
load was not yet finished to Pittsburg.
13y means of some miles of staging be
tween two points, and a climb over the
mountains by means of ten Inclined
planes, the passenger was enabled to
leach Philadelphia by rail. The rails
on the mountains were lion, fourteen
feet lengths, Unpolled from England,
lying on huge hewn blocks of stone, al
though the line passed through woods
and ties would have cost little. The
company had no telegraph line and
was dependent upon the use of the
Western Union wire. Mr. Scott, the
superintendent, the celebrated Thomas
A. Scott who was afterward president,
often came to the telegraph ofllee In
Pittsburg to talk to his superior In Al
toonn. tlie general superintendent, t
was then a young operator and made
his acquaintance by doing this tele
graphing for him.
was receiving the enormous salary
of twenty-five dollars per month then,
and he offeied me thirty-five to become
his- secretary and telegrapher, which
meant fortune. Mr. Scott received
$1 .'. a month $1,1 T.00 a year, and my
wonder was what a man could do with
that amount of money. I served for
some time before I received an advance
of salary of ten dollars per month.
That gave me an enoimous revenue
compared with the $t.:!0 a week at
which I started In th" cotton factory.

FREE LANDS FOR THE SETTLER.
10,000,000 Acres to Be Given Away
in Nebraska,
Thousands of Immigrants ure expect
ed to settle In Nebraska this year, tor
In that slate Uncle Sam has almost 10,
000,000 acres to give away to settlers
who arc willing to work and develop
the land, and during the present year
It Is expected 2.000,000 will be disposed

ly divided between the farmer and the
stock grower.
Prospective settlers can pay a visit to
the state and pick out a quarter-section
of laud. They can select adjoining
tracts for each son and daughter over
21 years of age. The only cost will be
a filing feel of $10. At the end of five
years they will be given a deed pro
vided they have resided on tho place
the entire time. If a. man served in the
Union army ho will receive for the
amount of time ho served.
However, from the day of filing, all
settlers will bo eligible to secure the
benefit of Nebraska's 700 public schools
and may subciibc for any of her 600
newspapers. The wheat produced may
go to raise the high mark of C',000,000
bushels of 1 001. and If corn Is the aver
age yield may help change the highest
amount of l7."i,S16,Stt bushels produced

High Beef
A Benefit
if it teaches you that s
Better Health
Greater Strength
Keener Brain
come from
Grape-Nuts
Try the change and "cut out" meat for breakfast.
Our word for it you will feel "Fit as a Lord" in a week's time by
breakfasting on Grape-Nuts and cream, a little fruit and perhaps
one or two soft eggs.
If you ever try this experiment, you will always bless the day of
high beef that waked you up.
There's a reason why Oraps-Nuts furnishes power to the body
and brain. The food contains selected parts of the field grains that
furnish phosphate of potash in a natural state that can be assimilated
by the human body, this joins with the albumen of food and forms
the soft filling of the brain and nerve centers.
Feed skillfully and you can "do things."
The greatest brain workers in America eat Grape-Nuts.
Ask one or two, they'll tell you.
You meat eaters who are ailing in any sort of way might take a
valuable hint from the following statement of Chief Chemist Wiley,
of the Agricultural Department, in the Daily Press from which we
give the following extracts:
"There is no doubt of the fact that meat-eating is not essential to hunlan life, and that men
can he well nourished without resorting to a flesh diet.
" I think the statement may be accepted without question that, as a rule, we eat too much,
not only of meat, but of all forms of food. The question of limiting the diet is baaed primarily not
on the principle of economy, but on the requirements of hygiene.
"At the early breakfasts which Americans are wont tc indulge in, that is, a hearty meal ha
fore going to their daily work, the omission of meat i3 ta bo earnestly advised.
"It is well known that men who are nourished very extensively on certain cereals are cap
able of the hardest and most enduring labor. Meats are quickly digested, furnish an abundance
of energy soon after consumption, but are not retained in the digestive organism long enough to
sustain permanent muscular exertion."
You will fee! the energy of Grape-Nuts longer than any meal
of meat.
Remember Grape-Nuts food costs about one cent per meal for
each person and all grocers sell it.
