FAITH IN THE EMPLOYES
Many Who Tliniiglit Lust "Week That the
Company Would Soon Irove a Winner
Now Admit Thttt they Aro Surprised by
tho Strength fth llrothorhuod.
mjxnra H" IoobI Impressions of
high Valloy Railroad
aro by no moans as
favorable for tho com
pany as they were last
week. A largo num
ber of conservative
people who felt that tho employes woro
weakening and would surrender by tho
opening of this week now confess surpriso at
tho strength and endurance tho men aro
showing and tlioy now say that unloss some
settlement of tho matter is speedily brought
about tho business men affected by tho
strike will be obliged to petition tho railroad
company to havo tho troublo adjusted within
a given tlmo, or its patrons will look to rolicf
from other freight nnd oxprcss carrying lines
wherovor such relief can bo had.
This morning tho employes at all tho depots
of tho Lohigh Company posted sevoral
notices of rowards In conspicuous places about
tho waiting rooms and ticket ofllccs. Tho
notices were received from tho headquarters
of tho company and aunounco that a reward
of $500 will bo paid to any polico ollicer or
other official who may causo tho arrost and
conviction of any person who unlawfully
interforo with auy of tho company's property
Thoso notices aro a precaution of tho com
pany to causo officials in all towns along Its
lines to tako a personal inlcrmt in the pro
vention of any violent act by the strikers or
their friends.
A man who road ono of tho notices at tho
depot.thls morning said tho company need
fear no violenco at tho hands of tho strikors,
as thoy aro controlled by an organization
which will not countenance or tolerate su
acts. A railway official, who stood, by added
"That is well understood. Thoso notices aro
put up as a warning to tho roughs who
frequently tako a had In strikes without bo
ing a3ked and when thoy havo no interest in
them. Thoy frequently commit acts which
cause great loss to tho company with tho
object of assisting the strikers, but thoy
ally arouso public sentiment and and sc
times place the strikors unwarrantably under
gravo suspicion.
Whatover claims tho company may make
in regard to Its main lino being In oporation
tho fact still remains that freight traffic on
thoMahanoy division is pretty firmly tied up
and is confined almost wholly to local freight
business. Yesterday a Bmall freight train
raado a trip from Delano to Ashland and re
turn, and in the evening, at about 5 o'clock,
another small train passed west on Its way to
Shamokin, picking up cars at tho different
towns en route.
It cannot bo disputed that the passenger
trallio on the Mahanoy division is also suffer
ing by reason of tho strike. There is an
undisguised timidity and at tho Lehigh
Valley depot this morning several people,
feailng that thoy would not be able to get
through to Mauch Chunk in timo to attend
tho funeral of the late General Lilly, took
tho Lehigh train to Mahanoy City and at
that point took a P. & It. train for Tamaqua
and thero took a Jersey Central train for
Mauch Chunk. A number of Ashland people,
who wanted to attend the' funeral, travclod
direct to Tatnaqua.

Attraction Kxtraordtnary.
Wo aro pleased to aunounco to the patrons
of tho theatre that tho hustling manager, P.
J. Ferguson, after considerable persuasion
hat Induced James Young, the prominent
tragedian, with his fine company, to favor us
with an appearance on tho local stago for two
nights. Mr. Young will produce two of
Shakespeare's plays, namely, "King Richard
III" and "Hamlet." It Is rarely that such
good fortune attends towns of this size, but
such Is the' case as far M this town Is cou
cerned, and wo are to be congratulated that
this excellent attraction la to bo with us ou
the ulghto of December 8th and 9th.

OBB'S OBSERVATIONS.
What Ho Seeft mill Honrs During Ills Trav
els About Town.
Thero was an nuimatcd cccno on North
Main street in which a young woman was
mdo an involuntary spectator of a rough
and tumblo fight. Tho young woman has
two admirers, it seems. On this particular
evening one escorted her from tho danclug
school and boforo they had gono far tho other
stepped up and urged a journey in another
direction. Tho admirers didn't hurt each
other very much, but thoy furnished con
siderable gossip for thoir acquaintances.
Tho gang of burglars which infests this
town isbecomlng adept in thobuslnoss. Thoy
are oven moro crafty, bold and skillod than
tho old-tlmo Klino gang and unless speedily
captured will nodoubt bloomas "Hod" Learys
and like cracksmen. When they begin to
mako use of chloroform it is timo for tho com
munity to becomo alarmed, for men who en
gage in that kind of work aro gcnorally of
that desperate charactor who havo dollvory
or death for their motto.

County Detcctivo Amour has so far re

Gilborton riot that ho is ablo to tako daily
walks. When injured Mr. Amour weighed
265 pounds. When nblo to lcavo his bed his
weight was but 1G3, a loss of 102 pounds.

In ono of tho cities tho other day an appli
cant for citizenship papers was asked who
make tho laws of this country ho replied,
"Tho politicians." If that is so wo have
some fine law makers in Shenandoah,
especially tho politicians who last Saturday
gathered In an Ico house, to see two gamo
cocks chop each other to pieces.
About this tlmo annually can bo noted
what appear to bo strangers entoring tbo
various secret societies. Thoso certain in

with them nover show their faces in tho

ticisn. Ou theso occasions they are affable
and sociable, and tako great interest, appar

Dangerous Preparations.
Allcoek's Porous Plasters is composed of
purely vegotablo ingredients and is absolutely
harmless. It sesls's nature in her own efforts
to heal and invigorate, and imparts strength
to the whole system. Many preparations
contain strong chemical and mineral sub
stances which produce an Injurious effect, not
only upon tho skin, but upon the whole
system, although at first they seem very
boueficial, on account of their powerful
action and temporary effect upon tho surface
When purchasing a plaster do not only ask
for Allcoek's, but mako sure that you get it,
Braudreth's Pills aro purely vegetable.
Flagman lujnrril.
Claudo E. Wilson, employed as flagman on

Tho production of "True Irish Hearts" at
Ferguson's theatre last night proved ono of tho
best attractions of tho season. Tho play is bj
no moans a now ono hero, but at no time has it
boon betto'' produced than last night and in
canscquouco of tho success tho company has
been induced to remain here and give
another production this evening. Tho com
pany is an aggregation of excellent actors and
actresses and the funniest and wittioet
of Irish comedians. Mr. Ed. W. Rowland,
who plays Larry Lanagan proved himself
clever comediau and a good singer
and dancer. II. J. Campbell, as Radish Paddy,
and E.J. Bronnan, as Lawrence Langan,
aro also good singers and dancers, and the
former is excrutiatingly funny. Miss Lillian
Kce'no was a vory pleasing comedicnuo as
Kittle Brady. She is a graceful dancor and
a sweet singer. While there aro plenty In
the cast to keep the fun bubbling, there aro
also soveral members who carry through tho
play a well defiuod story of sontiment in such
a manner as to deeply interest, tho audience.
Tho production was so succe&ful last night it
is safo to say tho company will be wolcomed
by a crowded houso to-night.
