GEN. GOBIN'S STAFF
HAY ALL RESIGN.
- }
V . #
Recent disruption in tho Third
brigade of the National Guard, which
several days ago caused General (rob
in to aunounce his intention of resign
ing threaten to continuo until almost
every officer on the brigade staff has
resigned, says tho Scranton Republi
can Tho announcement made by As
sistant^Adjt.-Gen. Major W. S. Millar
yesterday, that ho would resign his
commission before. General Gobin'4
r*» ' .
resignation takes effect, but strength;
ens the statement that every attache
of the general's stall will follow
where he leads.
Much dissatisfaction was aroused
among the Third brigade officers when
General Millar, then a civilian, was
placed at the head Hie National
Guard in Pennsylvania. By right of
seniority, tho office should have been
General Gobin's. The latter regarded
it as a direct slap at him and, though
ho would not have left his Third
ade, yet the chance of refusal was
not''oven offered I'iim. This incensed
the staff, which pledged itself to sup
port Gobin.
While tho troops were recently in
the field, a dinner was given to the
-■ staff in honor of General Gobin. The
•» general announced bis' intention ot
resigning and his staff pledged them
selves that they would stand by him.
'■'> The resignations of tho other oific
are, therefore, likely to follow.
They, are: Inspector Major William P.
Glai ke,Commissary Simon I\Cameron,
Quartermaster Major L. P. Nichols,
Judge Advocate Norman H. Farquhar,
Surgeon George It. Halborstadt, Or
dinance Officer Major W. W. luglis,
Aides de Canip Captain Fred R.Drake
and Captain Fred Snyder.
Officers of the Third Brigade will
thus resent tho insults which they al- j
lege have -been heaped on General |
Gobin. Tho resignations were hast- J
ened when tho Thirteenth regiment I
was ordered home, owing to the mix- j
up which then occurred. General j
Millar.orilered Colonel Watres tore- i
T*irr General Schall of the First
brigade. General Schall ordered Col- '
ouel Watres to move the following '
morning, but designated no destiua- j
tion. The following morning Col- j
ouel Watres reported to General
Schall,who transferred the Thirteenth
back to the Third brigade, under Gen
eral Gobin. The latter then ordered
the regiment home.
This order, transferring the Thir
teenth regiment from the Third to the
First brigade for seemingly no pur
pose whatever, is what finally prompt
ed General Gobin and his staff
to resign. They allege that it was
merely an opportunity for Genera'
Miller to "snub" General Gobin,who
1 had disbanded all his forces but the
Thirteenth regiment."

AT THE THEATRE.
Lyman H. Howe's Moving pictures
at the Opera House to
night under the auspices of the Wo
man's Society of Saint Paul's M. E.
church. Tilt)re are moving picture
shows galore, but Mr. Howe's is the
king of them all, as everything about
it is right up to date, and it leads all
competitors just like the Barnum show
leads all circuses. Fully sixty pictu
res are shown at every performance
and eacli ono is truo to nature, being
accompanied by all realistic sounds.
Mr. Howe is constantly adding new
piqtuTos on worthy and interest ing
subjects and for that express purpose
made a tour to Europe last summer,
consequently is able to keep far in the
lead of all competitors. Whenever a
new picture is placed upon the market
if it is of any worth, he will purchase
it regardless of the enormous expense
involved. In this way he has secured
the rarest pictures and lias even gone
to 'the trouble of importing from
France some beautiful gems of views,
that are perfect ideal dreams of the
•art of animated pictures that have no
duplicates in America, and is it then
auy wonder that his exhibition can
not be outdone by his numerous
I rivals? He leads and others try to
follow. That is the reason packed
houses greet him everywhere and the
demand for return dates keeps increas
ing. It is the biggest show of the
kind on the road to-day. No wait or
delay, but a solid picture show last
ing over two hours.

The reserved seat board will be
opened at the Y. M. C. A. building
tomorrow (Friday) morning, at S
o'clock, the building opining earlier.
The plan for reserving will be as fel
lows: On entering the Association
Building, each person will be given a
number, which must be presented in
its order, at the reserved seat board,
on the platform, in the auditorium.
By this arrangement, persons may lu
seated until their numbers are called,
and thus avoid the discomfort of being
jostled about or pushed out of tuin.
Reserved seat tickets must be pur
chased before the time of res rving
begins,as no sales will be made at the
board while reserving is going 011.
The Committee will endeavor to ac
comodate its patrons. It is requested |
that patrons note carefully tin .
suggestions, and assist in makin,; the
new plan a success.
Persons who have not yet - cured
tickets are advised ro do so at i-ace.
They may bo had at Hunt'. Drug

Brooke's Marine Band Orchestra is
the first number, and will appear Fri
day evening, Nov. 21st at S:ir> o'clock.

A dispatch from Pottsville says:—
The premier production of"The Lily
and the Prince," by Miss Mildred
Holland, supported by a strong com
pany, was given at the Academy of
Music here Monday night. The house
was sold a week ago and even stand
ing room was at a premium. Encores
and curtain calls were frequent and a
porfect storm of applause gr t"d
Miss Holland as Angela aft< r the
third act (the inquisition scene),
which is entirely novel and myster
ious, where she has practically the
situation to herself. The production
is gorgeous, with magnificent costumes
and scenic effects. The play came
near being marred in tho first at',
when the fountain flooded the st:< and
cellar of the Academy. Some of the
floor scenery carpet and valuable stagi
settings were damaged by the wati r
and partly ruined. The company ic
covered themselves sufficient so that
when the curtain was rung up none
in the audience were aware of how
close they came to be deprived of a
performance.
* v. *
"The Western Girl", written by
Langdon McCormick, is said ro be out
of the rut followed by the average pro
ducer of melodramas. While the ac
tion of the play does not lack in ex
citing incidents it is natural in devel
opment. The situations are na i
possible and the characters are clever
ly drawn. In selecting an act re-s to
play the leading role, Jepson iV Mc-
Giehan were fortunate in securing the
services of Miss Annie Oakley,
is perhaps the best known woman be
fore the American public. While a
member of "Buffalo Bill's Wild
West", she attracted much att r.ii- n
but it is confidently expected that 1•< r
reputation will be further inci. a-i d
by her enactment ol the part of "i\'a:»ce
Barry" in"The Western Girl". The
Western Girl will appear at the Opera
House on Saturday evening, Nov.
15th.

When the fire started,tie- plni ihe:• ran

proprietor of a cigar store on tin?
ground floor, heard the pluniht r's cry ,
of "Fire 1" and turned in an alarm
from the fire-box on the corner. The
fire proved to lie a trifling affair and
was soon extinguished.
As often happens at cellar fires, the
heat had incited the lead connection
between the street main and the ga

to find the break in the main, so that
it could be stopped up. They had
scarcely entered the cellar when the

The most complimentary and flatter
ing vote which t received on Tuesday
has filled me with such emotions that I
can but feebl> ex pre - my heartfelt ap
preciation for such devotion as was
shown me in v r; ward and to.vnship
i:i the district.
Realizing tlr- tr- ngLii of the State
ticket of the i op isi! ion party and the
ahnorinally large m-j.irity cast for it
being quite ii,000) we can all realize
the almost hopeless task >f overwhelm
ing nch a vast majority, but the in
roads made caused me for a time to be
hopeful. Full returns however showed
a majority against me of HIS.
Considering the disparity of the vote
in ihe Democratic State ticket I have
reason to be both proud and grateful
to my friends; it also causes mc great
gratification to know that
was clean and entirely devoided of un
pleasant personalities.
Again thanking yon for your support

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. andsl. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery
and a book that
