- DRAWING THE LINE.
mffi there ia any law preventing stroll
ing musicians from playing on the
public streets on weak days why does
it not apply when several bands fill
' tho air with all kinds of music while
playing on the streets on Sunday?
Yesterday a trio of Italian muslciani,
who played very good music, were
stopped by the Chief Burgess. Is
there any law that allows such dis
crimination? The Chief Burgess has
the floor.
The Council's action on the parade
business Is not being used a political
issue. It would prove a boomerang.
When a few disgruntled and dis
appointed Republicaus announce
themselves in favor of Democratic
l candidates the Democrats throw up
t their hats and rejoice. There isn't
Hfrnuch hat-throwing in this county
Mpsw. Tho Democrats are coming out
-jQjjnasse for the Republican nominees
anu me indications point to a iinnu-
some majority for them.

IT IS BUSINESS !
ELECTRIC- RAILWAY SUPPLIES
NOW COMING- IN STEADILY.
THE POLES BEING DISTRIBUTED.
Tho Contract for Supplying Brioks
for tho Powor Houses Awardod
to a County Man Superin
tendent Eborlo Busy.
Tho first Installment of supplies for tho
electric railway arrived yosterday and con
sisted of poles and sills, and two car loads
of other material.
Tho polos and sills aro being suppliod by
Abner Bitting, of tho Catawitsa Volley.
Several loads woro hauled to town yostor
day and scattered along the proposed route
between this town and Mabanoy City.
Two car loads of other supplies also
nrrivod in town yesterday, via the 1 & R.
railroad. Tho material includod ton miles
ot overhead wiro.
Mr. Bborlo, tho superintendent of tho
construction, ia ono of tho buslost mon in
tho town and in a fow days signs of go
ahead work will appear to console tho
occupants of tho anxious bench.
Judge Sadler, prosidentof tho company,
says thoro must bo no unnecessary delay
and that tho work must bo pushed as fast as
tho supplies arrivo and tho mon can do it.
Bricks for the power housos will probably
be the next material to arrive Mr. Kerlin
tho brick manufacturer of Tort Clinton,
was in town and said that ho could ship
iv,wu uncus on a moment s notice and
furnish as much moro as may bo required
and as fast as needed.
Applicants for work by bricklayors are
pouring in upon Superintendent Eberlo.
Thoro is no longor tho slightest doubt
about tho road being constructed. Tho
people on tho anxious bench aro required
to note this. Their questions are becoming
chestnuts.
Tho Mahanoy Tribune has discovored
that electric railways holp to build up tho
towns and districts they pas3 through. It
is very true. Almost any school boy could
have told tho astute editors of tho Tribune
that. Tho childish opposition tho paper
made against the road found little favor in
its own community. Now that tho Tribune
has discovered tho truth it Is hoped that it
will step from tho ranks of tea-pots like the
S'news and other papors.
Tho Hehald has just learned that cor
tain men who had determined to sell their
real estate have changed their minds and
that their properties aro now withdrawn
from tho market.
If our pooplo would only throw bigotry
and jealousy aside and comn together there
would be some hope of expecting tho ad
vent of seyoral good manufacturing Indus
trios with tho completion of tho electric
railway. "Why can't they got together?
Why should wejnot have some factories

Tho Result of Merit.
When envthinir stands a test of flfir
years among a discriminating pooplo like
tho Americans, it is protty good ovidenco
that thoro is merit somowhero. Tbo value
of a modicino is best proved by its continued
uso from year to year by tho nmo persons
and .families, ns woll as by a stoudy In

A Stolen Horso Returns,
During tho heavy rain Btorm last night a
bay maro was stolen from tho Merchants'
hotel stable. Tho horso was stolen whilo
tho hostlor was making his roport at the
hotel ofllco. As Daniel Nolsvrentor, tho
hotel proprietor, was about to start in pur
suit of tho thief, or thieves, tho horso
walked Into tho stable Mr. Keiswentor
suspected a man residing In Ringtown and
ho drove to the man's house- last night.
His suspicions woro confirmed by finding
tho man absont from his home and failing
to learn his whereabouts. Mr. Noiiwontor

WHAT THE SCRIBES SEE AND HEAR
A Plan by Which tho Jr. O. TJ. A.
M. and P. O. S. of A. Can Build
a Homo of Thoir Own.
Will Thoy Act ?
During tho past your tho P. O. 3. of A
and Jr. O. U. A. M. of town havo made
rapid strides to tho front, and the sugnes
tion lias been mado that tho two orders
abovo montloncd, together with tho G A.
Ii. nnd Sons of Veterans, form a stock
company and oroct a handsomo nnd sub
stantial homo of their own. At tho lowest
estimate tho numerical strength of these
organizations can bo placod at 1 200. With
shares issued at ?10 each, would givu tho
company $12 OCO to start with. Quito a
number of tho individual members would
undoubtedly BUbscribo for from flvo to ten
shares. Besides it would afford an oppor
tunity for n profltiblo investment of the
surplus cash nuw lying in tho trcasurios of
theso organizations.
Thero is no question but that such a
movo on tho part of thoso organizations
would bo a paying investment. Shenan
doah is in great need of lodge accommoda
tions, and wo suggest tho members dWcuss
tho advisability of such a movemont.
Thoro aro eoveral available, sites that can I o
purchased. It would afford lodgo rooms
for each of thoso societies, and tho fird
floors could be used for bcuincss places.
Wo would suggest that a joint meotlng
bo called to consider tho matter. What
say you ? Shall Shonandoah havo a public
building which would bo a credit to both
tho societies and tho town.

Ia It Right ?
Editor Herald Is it right and just
that our borough authorities should allow
the playing of numerous bands, tho parad
ing and manauvorlng of military com
panies carrying sido arms and dressed in
uniforms Bim liar to thoso worn by them in
foreign lands, on tho American Sabbath,
thereby annoying tho rollgious services
held by other denominations, and at the
samo time have a law that authorizes tho
Burgees to prevent the playing of traveling
musicians on our sidewalks through tho
week ? This law was enforced to day when
the Burgess notified throo Italians, who
were discoursing tho finest kind of mutto
from two violins and a harp, to desist from
doing so on our streets. Why taboo the
Italian and tho Little Gorman Band?
Perhaps it's bocauso thoy havo no political
party at thelrback to help them out. Alter
