One Car lancy Minnesota Patent JSlonr, up many discussion among our townsmen, who must have some thing with which to kill time when seated in shady places. One of tho latest topics is the company store system. The discus sions on this subject wore no dopbl pre cipitated by a communication that appeared In the Herald a few days ago. It read like this: Ed. Herald : Have -wo company stores in our midst f I am led to ask this question by a charge made by Luzerne county miners that Schuylkill county, especially Shenandoah, has more ot them than Luzerne and Lackawanna counties put together. Give us light, Mr. Editor. ' 8HENAN. V Schuylkill county hss its quota of com pany stores and an abundance over her share of abortions stores that partake in all particulars of tho full-fledged pluck-me breed, but lack maturity becauso they are not ufflcially sanctioned by tho Philadel phia and Heading Coal and Iron Company. It is surprising to mo that the legitimate merchants of Shenandoah bayo so patent- ly suffered the encroachment of these octopus-like places, but it Booms now that tho victims are crushed beyond forebear ance and something will give way before many more picnics are held. One of the most prominent business men in tbo town haB given mo the facts of a caso which brings to light circumstances that tho Reading company cannot con eistently overlook. Heretofore the "run ners" for theso company storos have been shielded by declarations that they in no way solicited or encouraged any patronage for any store owned or controlled by any of their relatives or friends. This fact alone has detored an onslaught on the quasi company storos to this date, but now delay is no longer necessary. If tho P. & R. 0. & I. Co. wants to investigate it can havo abundant proof that such declara tions aro false. The case brought to the attention of tho Herald is this: A merchant of town onjoyed tho patronage of a good-paying customer for years. Tho buyer and seller always seemed satisfied with tho dealings between them and no complaint was ever made by one against the other. Suddenly tho customer stopped dealing at tho store, Tho merchant was mystified and when an opportunity offered itself ho mado inquiry as to the cause. Tho lady was frank. She said to tbo merchant, "No, I have no com plaint to make against your place and I have always been well satisfied with your treatment, but the fact is that Mr. Keport That Hugh O'Donnell Kepudl. utes the Amalgamated Association. Sunburt, Pa., July 23 A. dispatch re ceived here states that Hugh O'Donnell, the noted labor leader of Homestead, In view of his ideDtificalion as one of the men who shot at tho Plnkerton men, had THOUGHT US A made a plea that ho was induced to join tho Amalgamated Association under false representations and he repudiates all obli gations to tho association. The dispatch has caused intense excitement It the report is truo tho Homostoad troubles will be brought to a crisis that must result in astounding developments, Tho circum stances warrant the belief that the report is well grounded.

JOSEPH BBAOHAM DEAD. IIo Was One of the Pioneers of tho Iteglom Josopb Ucacbam, who bad been a rosidont of this borough for 22 years, died this momlne after a brief illness. His death was quite unexpected and its an nouncement will be a surprise to many in this county. Mr, Beachatn, it may be said, was a pioneer in the coal business in this county. Ha was Interested in it when the total shipments of tho county reached but 10.000 tons. Ho became a resident of Pottsvllle in 1833, where he residod for ten years, when ho removed to Combola and remained there flvo years. At this place ho became interested in tho coal business and was the junior member ot the firm ol Oliver & Beacham Tho firm also operated the Tucker and Sharp Mountain collieries near Tuscarora until 1852, when the first named colliery became tho proporty of John Tucker, then president of the Philadelphia and Beading Bailroad, The firm continued operating the Sharp Mountain colliery for about six years after this transfer. Mr. Beacham was also interested in the Spoon vein col liery, Tuscarora. The deceased was an excellent citizen and was well liked. He was exceedingly Industrious and worked as hard as any laborer until within a few weeks of his death. He was an attentive member of tho Methodist Episcopal church. Ho left a widow, by a second marriage from which there was no' issue. Tho surviving child ren of tho first marriage are Joseph W. Beacham. of New York City, and Miss Sallie Beacham, the music teacher of town. One Hundred Barrels Flour, "North "Western Daisy." Guaranteed liquid to any Flour In tlie Market.

(mentioning a prominent mine official) has beon so persistent in his efforts to got my husband to doal at 'a Btoro that we at latt concluded it would bo policy to make the change." This is a case in which an employe of the Philadelphia and Heading Company was dogged by ono of his superiors under the company until ho stoppod patronizing a place against which bo had no complaint and become a customer of tho store ownod by a relative of the official, Tbo official still holds bis position under the company and tho persecuted employo is still a customer of tho relative's store. The Herald has the names of all the parties. But this is only ono caso. There are scores and scores of thorn. It has always struck me as quite singular that Polos and Huns who cannot under stand English, who can hardly articulate "Mr. Boss, glvo rao job?" and who can not road a sign of English words in front oi a store, though tho letters bo a dozen feet long, are also intelligent onough to find a storo owned or controlled by the rel&tivo oi some mine official. Singular, isn't it? V But a serious thought on this mattor prosonts itself ono which should interest tho company tbat has proclaimed it does not countenanco company stores. It is this i Can a mine official consistently act as a "runner" for these stores and serve the comDinv? In other words, is it not reasonable to suppose that the errors of an employo who patronizes such stores is moro likely to bo overlooked than thoso of an employe who is independent and deals whorohoscos fit? It must bo so. The patronage these stores receives is no less than a bribe for the mine officials In dls, guise.

Franey and other members of tho joint committee the Her ald feels justified in believing that tho pro posed public benefac tion 1?) in the shape of nubile water works will result in wind. If the members of the joint committeo could see themselves as others see them they would come to the same conclusion. It now transpires that tho members of the joint committee did not absorb all the time of tho people who visited town this week with tho hopo of securing contracts for tbo public wator works. As business men should do tho bidders mingled with the well informod people of tho town and made inquiries as to why the borough wanted water works of its own. A Herald reporter has spent time in tracing the movement of the visitors while here and he learned enough to convince him that after the bids aro opened and a bidder is decided upon as one entitled to the con tract, some very interesting features will develop. Perhaps the grounds for this statement would fit in hero well. Ono of the gentlemen who traveled from a distant part to town to secure a contract was verv entertaining. A member of his firm happened to pick up a Boston paper, he said, and read tho advertisement for proposals over tho signature of James J. Franey. "1 camo on hero," said ho, supposing I was coming to a now town When I landed at the depot my eyes wero opened. Instead of finding buildings in their spring suits of fresh timber my eyes fell upon buildings that told the story of age. This perplexed mo. I walkod up the street leading from tho depot to tbat hotel on the corner the Furnacesons, I believe you call it and saw an object on tho cor ner that led me to ask "Wnat istliat a cannon?' I was corrected, my informant stating that it waB.a water plug for fire Dumoses. 'AVhatl' I exclaimed 'a flro plug? I thought you bad no water here?' This was surprise No. 2 for mo. I wont to the hotel and had supper and found the hotel was amply supplied with water that is far superior to that afforded many cities with which I am acquainted. Then I found that the town had a water company that is over twenty years of ago and you can bet that my contract expectations took a biu drop." Another visitor who thought he was bid dine on a contract to supply a new town with water called upon a prominent gentle- man of town and asked, "who is this man Franey? Is he the wator commissioner?1 "No, sir." "Is he the Mayor?" "No. sir." ""Well, is ho a membar of the Board of Alderman, or Borough Council, or what ever governing body you have?" "Ho is not." "Well, what tho is ho?" "He is a member'of tho joint committee.' ' "Joint committee! What kind ot a thing is that?" "It is a committee of men appointed by a mass meeting of citizens and the Borough Council to supply the town with a system of publio water works." "Is that so I And what right has the borouch to throw away its power to n handful of men? "Woll, I'll bo Who will pay my expenses?" The gontleman then propounded several questions relativo to the project, and after securing a copy of tho joint committee s circular he proceeded to verify the figures in it by his own figuring. Whon he got throunh ho stated that he figured the vood on theso people and if I should get a ontract you can bet your sweet existence I will want somo socurity before I go ahead." THE PIONIO. A Merry Crowd - and a HIg One, Too, Go to Lnkeslde. Five hundred adult and tbreo hundred children tickets were sold at the depot yesterday for the Sunday school picnic hold at Lakeside, not counting the number tbat went down on the regular trains during tho day. There wero three Sunday school organi zationsEnglish Lutheran, Trinity Re formed and Presbyterian and this mado a happy crowd. The day was fine and tho enjoyments many. .Nothing happened to mar tho pleasures of the party. The boats and merry-go-round wero well patronized all day. Tho Lakeside management received many compliments from the ministers and others for the good order and fine arrangements. The special left Lakeside for home at G o'clock p. m., arriving hero at 7:80.

Quite a number visited tho camp meeting of the Evangelical Association and Rev. McNaily took part in tho altornoon ser vices. The pastors were unanimous that tho grounds at Lakeside "are just the thing" for a Sunday school picnic. No school need hesitate going there. Mr. Yost ii ever toady to render any assistance possi ble, and keep everything off the ground of a questionable character. Miss Troutman fell off the drum and re ceived a slight injury on her head. Messrs. Yost and Zulick, of tbo First National Bank, were among those present. J. E. Keillor, Sr., thinks Lakeside is ono of tho prettiest, healthiest and handiest summer resorts in the county. The new depot will be finished in tho course of the next ten days. A Valuable Keiuedy. Hon. Edmund L.
