OPENING OF KIRK
BROWN'S ADVANCE SALE
Seats are now on sale for the
two performances offered by Mr.
Kirk Brown, at the Loomis opera
house Wednesday, January 10th
The two plays to be presented
here will be “The Christian” for
the matinee, and W. H. Powers’
great East India military romance,
“Shannon of the Sixth” at night.
It is not necessary to dwell on
“The Christian,” as this play is
well known to be Hall Cain's
greatest success. “Shannon of
the Sixth" is an Irish non-commis-
sioned officer in the British army
during an East Indian campaign,
and the many favorable commepts
that Mr. Brown has had on this

meeting which is to be held on

The meeting held last night,
however, was largely attended and
that has occurred since the order
was first instituted less than a year
ago. Sixteen candidates
admitted to membership. The

pects for this number to be mate

winter,
One of the important incidents
of the meeting held last night was
the presentation and acceptance of
the first annual report of the offi-
cers of the organization
The report was in book form and
is a most comprehensive statement
of the financial and social condition
of the order. M.]. Farrell, the
worthy president, whose term of
office expires when the new officers
are installed, in his report congrat-
ulates the members upon the ex-
cellent showing that has been
made since the organization was
effected last spring, and upon the
fact that each official and individu-
al member had worked unceasingly
for the good of the order. His
relations with the officers, declares
Mr. Farrell, have been of a most
cordial nature. Each officer has
discharged his duties with credit
to himself and to the members.
The degree team is complimented
in the highest terms, and under the
masterful guidance of drill master
Charles Gay, bids fair to be one of
the finest in the state. The worthy
president's report closes with an
admonition to all members of the
Eagles to obey the laws, rules and
regulations of the order, defend its
principles and exemplify its teach
ings in every day life.
The report of the worthy treas-
urer, George B. Kline, shows that
the total receipts since the institu-
tion of the order have been
$1,604 20, while the disbursements
were $929.62, leaving a cash bal-
ance in the treasury of $674 58.
The secretary's report shows
that the present membership, not
including the candidates admitted
last night, to be 209, and that since
the institution of the order only
four members have withdrawn by
card
A glance at the foregoing report
will show that the order is in
excellent financial and social stand-
ing, and the future must look
exceedingly bright for those who
are interested in its welfare.
A smoker followed the business
session during which a luncheon
and refreshments were served to
those present. The smoker was a
most enjoyable affair and while
there were no set speeches the
there was much enthusiasm in
Sayre's young and rapidly growing

AT THE LOONIS WEDNESDAY
Mr. Kirk Brown and his high
class company will arrive here
Wednesday, January 10 from
Elmira, to give two performances
Saturday last. In years gone by,
it has been customary for the
chairman to issue a call for the
meeting by publishing a notice in uncollared voter won't stand for

convention and a candidate for
Congress to represent the 14th
Congressional district. The coun-
ty convention will be held Febru-

The rules governing the Repub-
lican party in this county provide
that anyone who wishes to become
a candidate for office must register
his name with the county treasurer
30 days previous to the date fixed
for holding the county convention
The committee met January 2 and
the convention is fixed for Febru
ary 1. Fix these dates firmly in
your mind, then count your fingers
and you will discover that only a
few short hours were left in which
a candidate for Congress could reg-

can machine in Bradford county,
whose despotism and brazen arro-
gance and conceited assumption
have been flaunted in the face of
the people so persistently and fre-
lesson, and incidentally demon-
strated to him just how he stands
as the self\appointed dictator of
the Republican party. Realizing
that he is treading on thin ice he
takes advantage of his undisputed
paternal ownership of the county
methods by creating conditions
which practically stifle the will of
the voters.
How much longer will decent,
sell respecting Republicans stand
for this sort of party managment ?
Is it not about time that the voters
took matters in their own hands,
and had something to say who
should represent them in the halls
of Congress ? There are plenty of
men in Bradford county—men of
ability, integrity and unimpeach
able political records—who would
at least like to have an opportunity
of seeing how they stand with the
voters. Men for iustance like
William Maxwell, Esq, of Towan-
da; State Senator Robert S. Ed.

score of others, anyone of whom
would be a credit to the district
and the constituents which they
represent.
