The peoplo of town should not fail to attend tho mooting in Robbins' opera bouso next Tuesday evening. This campaign is one of education and every taxpayer and voter should not let a lesson slip. Protection and reciprocity is the cry. Tha peoplo who understand the system of wild cat banks do not want such institu tions. People who do not clearly under stand what wild cat banks aro should net fail to attend tho meeting next Tuesday evening. If any voter is doublful about tho true issues of tho present campaign, let him attend this meeting and hoar tho principles of protection and reciprocity clearly oxplained. County Chairman Davis is conducting an excellent campaign and he declares that tho outlook is more promising than it has been for many yeari. This sentiment is confirmed by many other prominent mombors of the party who keep track of current events and have tact enough to judge situations. During the Republican rally at Mahanoy City Saturday evening and tt the close of the meeting, the entbuaiastic people joined in tbo following refrain ; DRUMM'S ALL RIGHT, Tune TA-KA-RA-BOOM-DK-A, Why don't Helliy, stand up plumb And meet the challenge of our Brumm? It would make the Campaign hum, Hut he's afraid he'd be knocked dumb. Ta-ra-rallruram ta-ra i Ta ra ra Ilrumm ta ra ; Ta ra ra Brumm ta ra, Ta ra ru Brumm ta ra. He's afraid that he would bump, Against his silver record plump, And that would knock him In the sump For voting both ways like a chump, cnouus. For his own Interest now and then He cackles like a duelling hen, But never raised his voice or pen To help along the worblngmen. CHORUS. We'll do our duty, honor bright, And voto for him who makes our light, Brumm stands for labor with his might, Protection's champion ho's all right. Klcctrlo Hallway Chunge.

Tho interest in tho movement to raise funds for a soldiers' monument in town is not limited to tbo poople roiidiog here, as will bo soen from the following extract from Charles G. Palmer, now residing at Butto City, Montana, to tho editor of tho Herald: "There are a good sprinkling of Shonandoah boys hero and in my next I will name them all and toll tho Herald what they are doing. might say one word more: All tho boys agrco with the Herald that somo suitable place in Shenandoah should be selected for a soldiers monument. And, don't forget it, we shall con tribute our shure for such a worthy object." uui two Qonars mora requiroa to raise the fund to the $600 mark. ino contributions yesterday were not numerous, hut they wore sufficient to dom onstrate a doiiro to help tho good work along.

One of the questions that cro itod a lively debate was a proposition to substitute c steel pipe fjr the one the committee origi nally intended to mo. According to f statement by one of tho Councilman, the discussion was prtcipilatod by a claim that tbo steel pipe pioposod was only tho over plus of stock of somo bankrupt firm and aftor tbe amount on hand would be used no more could be secured. A Councilman also stated to a Herald reporter to-day that the lowest bid for the construction of tho works is $100,000.

A gentleman residing on West Oak street says that a few days ago a mau called at the rear door of his residence and sold one of tho family a tickot for a raflle to ba held in Wm. Penn. Later in tho day ho called at the same door and sold another member of tbe family a ticket for a ball to be held in Brownsville. And still later In tha day tbe same man called at the front door oi tho same residonco and ap pealed for alms, claiming ha was unable to secure work.

About two weeks ago they se WmL. curod nr?o and buggy from John im Qr0!s. of tn. and lr Etar,od off fof a (J, Days passed and nothing was heard or seen of the young men, or tho horse and wagon. Gross lltially became anxious and offered a reward for his property. On Monday night tho missing young men trsgglod back to town, but without the hone and buggy, lesterday Gross caused their ar rest and they were committed to tho lockup in default of $100 bail each. Gross having valued tho property at .$110. Tbe young men said thoy drove from town to Hazln ton, where they met a friend and left the horse and buggy with him as security fur fivo dollars they borrowed. With tho money they bought drink and became dead to tha world for several days. Upon. recovering lrom tho spell thoy made thoir way back to town, sorrowful and penitent. Yoiterday Mr. Gross left for Hazloton and tho young men aro in the lockup, awaiting his return.

The concert held in Ferguson's theatre last night under tho auspices of the Ivontes of town was a brilliant artistic and veiy satisfactory financial nfTair. It was roally one of the best concerts given in this town for some time. 'Squire T. T. Williams was chairman for the evening.

Yesterday the Herald contained an account g.ven by a boy of town of treat ment bo received at the hands of tramps while he was crossing tho mountain on his way to work at Boston Run colliery. Tho boy claimed that the tramps stopped him and emptifd his dinner pail. The borough police last night arrested a bum and after clotoly questioning, concluded he was one of tho tramps who robbed tho biy of his meal. Toe bum has been oommitted to tho lockup on a charge of vagrancy. As tho complaint made by the boy yesterday was not tbe first of the kind tha police are anxious of making an example of tho bum if ha can be identified as one of the guilty parties. If the boy or his parents will apply to Chief of Polloe Davis they will have an opportunity to sea the tramp. An Ugly Weapon. Last night Pol.ceman McGrail arrfsted a Polish fellow of the First ward for drunk enness, disorderly conduct, indecent ex posure of his person, and carrying con cealed doadly weapons. The latter charge was based upon tho discovery of the man's person of a six pointed bolt, about which was wrapped quite a length of wire, mak ing a most handy and deadly looking billy. Tho fellow's name was Bulsawicz. Ho was' "salted" with fines by tha Chief Burgess this morning. 1 llcrtolette Succeeds Lawjer.

Sumo of the Topics That People lira Talk, lne About To-day. The deliberato thinker must come to tbo conclusion that Shenandoah is in position to command tho attention of outside capitalists who are on tbe lookout for live towns in which to establich industries. Wa have a large population, plenty of floating labor, an inexhaustible supply ef cheap fuel, three railroads connecting us with all sections of the country, an abundant water supply, gas, incandescent and aic electric lights, an electric railway which Is a great boon for local traffic and which will bo a still greater one shortly, when it is ex tended, an e ectrlc fire alarm syitom, a tplendld fire department, and a free delivery system. To thoso will soon ba added Belgian block street paving, a public system of sewerage and, e?entual)y, a city charter. The largest and best collieries in this val ley are in the immediate vicinity of Shenan doah and if tho places would bo worked full time for a few months tho town would soon be made again one of tho most liveiy in the ctato. West Lloyd street has a sensation that is rapidly budding and when tho facts come to the surface thoro will bo quite a stir Tho case is somewhat similar to one alleged to have occurred on Jardln street recently. Political campaigns are not conducted as they wero thirty or forty years ago. Then, overy fall, the boys used to steal oil and tar barrels and stack them high above a fire. Tho blsze that would shoot through the opening of the top barrel would enthuse the old as well as the young, and would draw immense crowds upon tho ground. Meantime the boys would be hurting all over the place for more oil and tar barrels. Sometimes tall treos would be trimmed bare and receiyo a covering of barrels to its very height. The tree and barrels would present a magnificent sight until they would at last topplo over, and burn to ashes. Theso bonfires served in place of fireworks, in use to-day, but tha speakers and attentive audiences were upon tbe grounds, as in modern lime. Those good (7) old days have gone. This reminis cence is not an encouragement for their revival. Thore would be too much work for the police and firemen if such demon strations wore indulged in now. It mikes considerable difference whose ox is gored. When the Hkralv attempts to show up the meanness of somo poople of a neighboring town its local scribe gets "on his ear" and begins to tell tales out of school. This is esptcially true when the truth hurts. AVo have no objections to tho contemporary showing up the shortcom ings of our poople if thoy find any and wo aro not disposed to equoal. We admit wa have as mean people as some towns, but we draw the line at Pottsville. I'bkcil Point. personal. Mrs. William Wndu, of Audenried, is visiting friends in town. J. J. McGuiro and J.' J. McCormick, of Girardville, wore visitors to the Hkrald sanctum this afternoon. John P. Roberts to-day took leave of his relatives and friends here to resume his studies at tho College for Physicians and Surgeons at Baltimore, Md. Miss Ruth Williams, who recently moved from town to Mt. Cirmel with her paronti, was unable to lako part in tho Ivorito concert last evening on acoount of having sustained a slight injury at her new home. Tho injury is not a very Bcrious one, wc are pleased to note. Football Tourney. W. H. Sadler, Jr., son of Judge Sadler. one of the financial backers of the new electric road, is a football enthusiast and be has enlisted the Traction company's interest in a scheme that will doubtless be the means of furnishing niuoh outdoor sport during the fall and winter. Mr. Sadler's project is tha formation of a northeastern Pennsyl vania football league to embrace clubs from all the towns of prominence in thU section, and to stimulate the general interest the company will offer a handsome trophy for competition. Olyphant, Wilkes- Barre and bcranton already have teams. Grounds will be fitted up at onco and an effort made to get college teams to play during the season.
