Qcorgo Folmer, the cattle dealer, says ho ha) ordered his regular shipment of livo cattle from tho Wost and expects their arrival on the regular day Tuesday next He bas no assuranco of tbelr arrival, but is inclined to believe tbat the blockade at Buffalo is sufficiently opon. Mr. Rlggs, of the Shenandoah Beef Com pany, says that tho carloads he has received since Thursday last will float tho local mar ket nicely. Monday is his regular day for receiving cars of boof and he expects one or two ot them in on Monday. lie, too, is in (dined to tho belief that thoro is now no danger of a beef famine.

Twenty-soven years ago tho armies of the United Stales, after five years of hard fighting, passod in grand review at the National Capital, which was witnessed by all the great .generals and statesmen. It was n grand sight a monster centralization of the brave men in blue and one that will novor bo forgotton by those who wit nessed it. It was tho grandest military dis play of tho generation. Next month tho survivors of tho rebel lion, those who aro ablo to go, will again meet in "Washington and try to duplicate the great scene spoken of above. It will bo a glorious event, and probaby tho last time In which the bravo old veterans will get togolber as a mighty mass. True, it will not bo 'tho last reunion, but tho boys who wore tho blue from 'Gl to '05 are fast dying off and it is hardly probublo that tbe coming ovent at "Washington will be re peated. Post No. 140, G. A. II., of town, Bhould make arrangements to go to Washington In a body. Of course many of tbo mem. bers may not bo able to afford tbo expense, and something should be done to help such mombers. They deserve all that a loyal and grateful people can do for thorn. Tho only exponso to bo provided for is tho rail way fare. All tho veterans will bo aecom modated while in "Washington freo of charge. Tho railway faro will be but ?4 per man, so that but f 200 is necessary to g3t about fifty of our veterans, who aro loo poor to pay, to the groat rounion. It should bo romemborod that with but vory few exceptions tho members of Post HO are poor men who toil in tbo mines for a liveli hood and they can hardly socuro sufficient moans for tbe necessities of life. Lot a popular subscription bo taken to In sure propor representation of our veterans at Washington.

Centro streot. sit ANOTHER COMPLAINT. A Correspondent Arraign tho Law Com mittee of Council. Editor Hekald: Will you kindly allow mo space in your paper to express my condemnation ofthit creature of tho Borough Council known as tho "Law committeo, and tbo hoad, tail, body and ecul of which Is Councilman Lamb I think this committee is ono of the greatest humbugs of tho 'present administration When matters pass into Its hands tboy nover seem to come out again and people who have grievances against tho borough aro obliged to wait months for satisfaction, and oven then they aro frequently little better off than tboy woro when the committeo first took charge of the matter. Tho "law" tho people get is guaged by the whims of the man who constitute tho committee. The extent of their legal knowledge, or even ordinary business intalliuence is such that it would not cover Iho hoad of a tack. At least I have been lod to believe this by my observation of their actions. But this is not my chiof causo oi complaint. It I tbo injustice practicod by this committee I wish to thow up. Hero is tho caeo of ox High Constable Fairloy. lie put in a claim against tho borough and it was rejected. Mr, Fairloy euod and recovered judgment, tbe whole amount with costs being loss than forty dollars. Njw I understand that this Law committee has applied for a new trial and that tbe solicitor states that Mr. Fair loy must force tho case. This seoms to me, Mr. Editor, to bo an outrage. . Mr. Fairloy is an old man, very poor, and very ill, His iriends fear ho may not livo long, yet tbo very men who stand roady to squander $93,000 on a wator works scheme want to force him into court and spend his dying moments in fighting for a paltry sum of less than foity dollars, to which a court has already declared ho is justly ontitlod. In the namo of humanity, I call upon tho Council of this borough to deal with Mr. Falrley as they would have others doal with thorn. I ask a majority of Council to instruct tbo borough solicitor to discontinuo the apparently foolish proceedings that are now pending and pay Mr. Fairloy what has been decreed as due him. Bofore closing I would liko to call at'. on tion to another case tbat is in tbe hands of tho "Law" committee. It is tho claim of Jamos ltichards, whose little girl broke her arm by falling from a pipe tbat was left upon tho Btreot by borough officials. Mr, Richards has repeatedly offered to compro mlse upon payment by Council of tho doctor's bill. This matter has been in the handsof tho"Law" committee for months. 1 understand that when Mr. Lamb was asked for a report last Thursday night bo said "We can't find any evidence." I would suggest tbat Mr. Lamb hire a detective if it is necessary to get evidence to determine whether or not it would be cheaper for the borough to pay tbo doctor's bill of $10 or $15, or go into court and, as usual, come home whlrped. As I said beforo, that "Law" committee is a-humbug. Common Skvsk. Shenandoah, Aug. 20, 1S0A PI5KSONAL. Mrs. M. D. Malone is at Atlantic City, it. U. J. Waaliugor transacted tmsinesc in Mt.

EL3 0UAZZAK Lamb says, "The im-pro-slon seems to pro vail tbat there is an injunction against us. TBere is no such thing. Wo can pro- coed as if no action had bcon taken by tbo water company." Mr. Lamb should bear in mind that ho and tbo other new water works scheraors are rosponsiblo for the im pression. Why did they indefinitely post pono tho opening of bids for tbe works?

An extensive lino of repairs Must p.isu lirp under tho eyes ot Councllmen Second hand material will stand tho test. Address Stone Ciuisubu, on the hill. ... A few evenings Bgo a corn-cure man, with flowing grey locks and about CI years of ago, located himself on Ouk street, in front of tho Bobbins' building. He dilated upon tbo virtue of his corn cure, which hi sold at two bottles for a quarter, but want' ing to introduce it in this placo, and not having beon boro bofore for -22 years, he would Ball it at the small sum ot ten cents per bottle, lie also took soma pains to in form his bearers as to how it should bi applied, and between his speech making ho rendered several fine selections with the aid of a banjo as in extra inducement to pur' chasers. At this time a son of the green islo appeared upon tho scene and asked th soller, "Will it come back again?" (meaning the corn.) "Will it come back ?" echoed the soller in a disgusted tone. "You want the earth for ten cents, and I haven't got tt to give. You ought to bo laid out in a hammock," continued tho corn doctor, as ho seuined to grow angry, "and havo angels to fun you to sleep." Then turning to the other hear ers, "This is tho worse gall I huvo heard. In all my experience I have never born askod such a question. Will it come back? Casting a scornful glanco upon tho ques tioner.) Of course it will come biuk. If you got drunk and got a headacbo and get over it, and then go and got drunk again, will you get the hoadache? Of course you will. (Scratching his head.) Will it come back? Let mo ecu. This is Shenandoah, Oak streot. I mustn't forget that. Of course it will come back." And the ques tioner wilted out of sight. The boef famine is po.tponod, and per haps plactd beyond likelihood. In accord ance with oxpoctations, the Shenandoah Beef Company received its supply yester day. In fact it received more than was expocted. In addition to tbo car that came by way of Pittsburg and Harrlsburg, tho company also received ono of tbo cars that had been hold at Waverly. So the boef famine will not tako hold of us, for tho present at least. ... Frank Warnick, who rocently moved to Reading, was a visitor to town yesterday and exprosiod himself as very inuch pleased with bis new homo. II o showtd mo a lotter from Z. T.

The West Mahanoy Tonship School Board has decided to build a school house at the east end of the uppr Wm Penn imtcbj providing a ltii-o from the Qirard Ettate can bo secured without giving ofientolothu dignity of some of tho offic ials. The building is to bo two etorlos high and contain four rooms. Timothy O'Mabony has secured tbe contract. When ono of tho electric cars reached Bander's hall In lower Wm. Penn Tnure- ay afternoon It was obllgod to stop on ac count of a slight accident to the trolley. The car was delayed about five minutos, during which a woman remained patiently in one of tho rear seats, After the car started and bad run about 20 yards the woman signaled tbo conductor to stop. As the woman alighted tho remaining passen gers cast disgusted glances at her. One of . them remarked, "She doesn't appear sick, . and sho certainly is not a cripple. It must i be laziness, or pure cussedneES." 4j Tho cat is gradually getting out of tho bag. Since the abandonment of Pastimo Park dates havo boon booked for Sunday school picnics at a place in tho pines at Lost Creek, controlled by certain parties of that place. Such dog in tho manger busi ness will ultimately find its lovel. The bridge over the creek in Girardvillo which is to bo used jointly by tho borough and electric railway is fast nearing comple tion. It will be ready for planking within a low days. LITTLE LOCALS That Cover Considerable Ground in This Vicinity. Max Reese bas opened an employment agency. Will tho strike reach Shenandoah? We havo not heard anything lately of our hat and cap lactory going to Mt. Carmel. Nearly another year gono and not a single new industry started in town. Shooting rats is a pastimo with some peoplo. If tho meat famine continues any length of lime our canine population will sutler. Bofore opening any new streets Council should first complete Oak street by putting a bridge across tbe Lehigh Valley railroad. The First warders aro feeling encouraged at tho prospect of haviug the electric road pass through It in tbe near future. Miss Libbio Balnbridge, secretary of the Juniot Y's, requests all members and their friends to meet in room 7, Bobbins build ing, South Main street, Wednesday morn ing at 8:30, from there they will proceed to the place where a lawn festival will be held. A cool wave struck town last evening and this morning a nice rain fell Two or three days of rain will not hurt anything just now. The members of Post M0, G. A.

The proceeds aro to go into the Widows' and Orphans' fund of the local post, which is about empty. During the existence of this organization many thousands of dollars havo bjen expanded for tho roliof of the widows and orphans of deceased soldiers and our pooplo cannot do too much for this purpose. Tho fostlval and lunch will bo held in Bobbins' opera homo and tbe price of admission is only 10 contf. But a ticket or two, aye, a dozen won't hurt from any member of the Grand Army in town.
