Most of the trade know tbe quality and valuo of the Broad

For one week these fabrics are reduced from 45o to 25o,
and from 25c to 15o. This Is certainly an extraordinary

A COUNTY
SEAT LETTER
An Alarm Sounded For the Benefit
of the Republicans.
MORE VIGOROUS ACTION !
Too Much Indifference Seems to Exist
Among: the Young Republicans
of the County.
Special IleiiA'.D coiresponrtei-ce.
Pottsville, Oct. 12. I have been
prompted to ask what tbe Republicans of
this county are doing ? It strikes mo that
there is nn air of treachery in.tbe ranks
that there is something wrong somewhere.
Shortly after the county convention a
hope for success seemed to find pluco in
the breast of every man in tho party, but
where is that hope now f I must confess
that I see very little of it.
"We may as well look the facta square
in the face now and prepare to meet tho
situation. And tho first thing to consider
is the cause for this feeling of suspicion
and distrust which has supplanted tbe
spirit of hopefulness which seemed so
general about two months ago. It goes
back for many years and is the result of
the defeat ot Republican candidates by
Republican voters who sought to appease
their jealousy. There are many wrecks
on the wayside, and from these the cry
for revenge comes.
If this were not so, why is it all of our
young and able Republicans are not in
the ranks and actively at work ? They
And themselves too busy elsewhere and,
outside the election of the stnte ticket,
they seem to have no Interest in the cam
palgu.
If the Republicans are to win in this
county, heroic measures must bo adopted,
and very soon, too. The party has some
of tho, ablqst young men in the state liv
ing in this county, and were they to get
together and work earnestly there would
be no reason to fear for the result of the
campaign.
This sentiment was expressed the other
day by ono ot tho most prominent and in.
tlueutial politicians ot tbe county and he
suggested that a conference be called at
once to ncsertaln, if possible, the cause of
the Indifference which has become so ap
parent of late, and at the same time take
precaution against sell outs and the per
nicious complimentary voting system
The county executive committee cannot
be counted on to do this. There is not
enough enthusiasm in its mnkt up to elect
even the tall end of the ticket, If its elec
tion was not fixed by law.
It isn't pleasant to some you address to
be outspoken and truthful, but I consider
that in this case sentiment and propriety
should be discounted to some extent In
order to awakeu tho Republicans to a
realization of the danger confronting
them.
The Democrats, evidently aware of the
condition ot affairs in the Republican
ranks, are all smiles. Mr. Rellly is one
of tho most confident men on the Demo
cratic ticket.
ELECTMC RAILWAT AFFAIES.
By next summer this city will have ono
of the best and most complete systems Of
electric railways in the state. By that
'time almost every town of any import
nnce in the county will be connected with
the city by electric railways, and tbe.in
creased traveling facilities through all
the outlying districts Is bound to give the
city a building boom it never before, ex
perienced. I would not bo tho least sur
prised it the next census should give us a
population of 50,000. Every citizen
in our city should enrol himself
in the movement for a greater
Pottsville, and those who stand in front
of the wheels of progress ought to be run
down. We have a few back number
Councilmen who use the old saw, "We
don't want to give anything away for
nothing," and in nine cases out of ten
they haven't got in sight even tbe 0x2
plot of ground which is mau's heritage
when he shakes off the mortal coll. Tho
present electric railway fight will end,
(and mark the prediction) in the humilia
tion ot those who are embrarrasslng the
present successful company. They will
crawl and hide their heads. Thoy are
not earnest in their efforts to secure rights
of way. Their scheme savors ot a game
ot squeeze.
COUNTT COMMISSIONERS.
The meeting of the County Commission
ers, their solicitors and prominent brldgo
builders from all parts of tbe state this
Week was a very successful event, and the
deliberations will no doubt result in great
benefit to those who took part in them as
well as those who were represented. If the
measures tbey contemplate introducing
before tho Legislature become laws the
benefit the state will derive will be im
measurable. It Is through such meetings
that a thorough understanding ot the
wants and requirements ot the people Is
obtained and from tbe Information th,us
gleaned uniform laws can be better
framed.

A Brokerage Office to be Opened In the
5 Egan Building.
The statement that tbe gentleman who
has beeihere the past few days with a
view to (opening a brokerage olllce had
abandoned the project was misleading.
Mr. B. II. Cooper, of Philadelphia, the
gentleman referred to, gives assurance
that suah an olllce will be opened here
within a few days, In fact quarters have
already! been leased in tho new Egan
building, corner of Main nnd Centre
streets, 'snd they will be furnished on a
scale to compare favorably with similar
plaees af business In the large cities. Tho
report (hat the project had been aban
doned ittose from a rumor that Mr. Cooper
had fog mi that the methods of previous'
brokerage offices in this town had been so
unsatisfactory there was little hope for
the estfblhhment of a new office. This
has served to encourage Mr. Cooper, rather
than discourage him. Had bo Intended
to come here and victimize the ponplo his
stay would havo been very brief nnd the
dissatisfaction over provious experiences
would have been sufficient notice to him.
Mr. Cooper comes here as represent ative of
n reliable firm nnd the experiences of tho
past have no bearing whatever upon him.
Ho represents the firm of Hodgeu & Co.,
of Philadelphia, brokers of high reputa
tion and unquestionable methods In that
lino of business. They have established
and are now conducting prosperous
branches In Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Pottsville nnd other places.
It may also be stated that Mr. Cooper Is
by no means a stranger In Schuylkill
county. He has traveled through it for
years as a commercial man and enjoys
the acquaintance and confidence of
many of its most prominent nnd sub
stantial business people.

This firm's long experience In the boot
and shoe business has taught it that tol
sell goods the attention of the people
must be attracted to tbe stock, and, the
most effective means for doing that is
to place attractive advertisements iu the
local newspapers and give attention to the
dressing of show windows. In the latter
the firm spares neither expense nor
trouble, as a glance at the windows will
show. They are draped in orange nnd

COUNCIL
IN SESSION.
The Storage Reservoir Gives
the
Councilmen Some Trouble.
SPRINGS CAUSE TROUBLE J
They Pour Through a Breastwork and
Destroy the Puddling andoncrete.
Plans to Remedy the Evil.
A special meeting of tho Borough Coun
cil was hurriedly called last night to con
sider tho condition of thostorngo reservoir
of the public water works at Fowler's Run.
As stated In yesterday's IIeuald the re
cent heavy rains Btarted tho springs north
ot tho reservoir with such violence that
they threaten to destroy the concrete nnd
other work which has been done, nnd in
fact thoy have already caused somo dam
age. Ton squares of concrete must bo re
placed. Tho streams from tho springs ac
tually pour Into the reservoir and much
of tho puddling on tho north embankment
has been washed away.
Tho difficulty Is that no one can tell
Just whore the sources of tho springs nro
and, therefore, It Is impossible to Bay just
what Is required to cut them off and
what the oxpenso will be, although It Is
believed that tho plan adopted by Coun
cil last night will serve the purpose.
Supervising Engineer anil Contractor
McAdam recommended at tho last meet
ing ot Council that n ditch bo dug north
of nnd parallel with tho north embank
ment ot theroservolr to drain the springs,
but nt that tlmo tho Councilmen thought
a plan suggested by Councilman Gable
would bo equally effective and cost less.
Mr. Gable's plan was to put a perforateil
pipe and brick wall at tho bottom of the
embankmentnnd drain tlio accumulating
spring water by pipe to tho feed pipe at
the south side of the reservoir.
Last night all the Councilmen in at
tendance nt tho meeting ngreed that the
trench suggested by tho engineer nnd
contractor was indlspensible. Accordingly
jt wns decided that tho contractor be
authorized to dig a trench 12 feet deep,
nn fpt . ,vi,in Rt.tlietnnimdnytnnillni?
nnd ten feet wide at the top and extending
the full length of tho reservoir, tho
trench to be located 25 feet north of the
embankment, so tbnt tho latter may not
be disturbed by nuy blasting that may bo
required. The water committee is not to
expend moro tliau $700 on tho work with'
out consulting Council.
It Is believed that a trench twelve feet
deep will cutoff tho streams, bit t if ltdoes
not nnd the condition of affairs warrant
it Council will decide to make tho trench
deeper. This does not do away with Mr.
Gable's plan, which will also be carried
out, as tho perforated pipe and the brick
nre at baud.
Mr. McAdam Is quoted as saying that
if the present attempts to cut off the
streams fail it may cost $10,000 to mnke
the north embankment perfectly secure
against tbe troublesome trains,
