The Two Brilliant Lights Will be Here To-morrow. LAST NIGHT'S MEETING ! Hon. M. p. Fowler Makes a Strong Appeal For Earnest Work A Com mittee's Encouragement. If the majority of the Republicans of town could have crowded Into the ofllce of S. G. M. Hollopeter, Esq., In the Rob bins' building, last night, and heard the address that Hon. M. P. Fowler mado to the meeting held there to make arrange ments for the Republican demonstration to he held here ori Wednesday evening, they would have been worked up to an en thusiasm which Is born of that earnest ness that always assures victory. Mr. B. J. Yost addressed the meeting on the necessity of having funds to con duct the campaign and these could nnly be seoured through the liberality of men who took an honest Interest lu the cam paign. And Incidentally Mr. Yost re marked that there had been considerable talk about people who handled funds for campaigns In years gone by; they had been subjected to unwarranted suspicion, as any one who would give the subject serious consideration could very soon find out that the county committee, or the stnto committee, does not shovel dollars Into the town by the thous ands for use by men who manage the campaign; on the contrary, Mr. Yost said, he had never known of more than seventy -Ave dollurs haviag been placed In the hands of the local Republican execu tive committee, and that amount was set aside for distribution among the men employed for work about the polls in this town and the Unions, and by the time the distributions were made It was pretty hard to find a margin; In fact, the men who handled the money had been frequently obliged to go down into their own pockets. Mr. Fowler then Jumped to his feet and In .tho strongest terms at his command nppealed to those within hearing to pull off their coats and get to work in behalf of the whole Republican party, and espec ially for Hon. Charles N. Brumm, the Re publican candidate for Congress. It Is highly essential that Mr. Brumm should win In this light, Mr. Fowler said, as the people who live in the coal regions cannot afford to return or eleot to Congress men who so far forget the Interests of their constituents as to put coal produced in Nova Scotia on tho free list. After concluding his remarks Mr. Fowler stepped forward to the secretary's desk and planked down Ave dollars to start a subscription list to meet cam palgn expenses, nnd then volunteered to act as a committee of one to secure music for the parade on Wednesday evening. Mr. T. R, Edwards added Ave more dol lars to tho list and then others stepped forward. Messrs. H. E. Dengler, Ed ward Roberts, B. J. Yost and William T. Trezlae were then appointed a committee to canvass the town, which they did im mediately after the meeting adjourned, and this morning the committee reported that the responses were of a most sntts factory character. All arrangements are now concluded for thejdemonstratlon to-morrow night. The street display Is not counted upon' as a feature, but the meeting in the opera housojwill be a stunner. For some weeks past there has been a growing demand from both Democratic and Republican ranks for Hon. Charles N. Brumm. There Is an undisguised impatience. People of all classes are anxious to hear his views on the bill passed by the Democratic Congress, especially in connection with Its bearing upon free coal, and the demand will be met, as Mr. Brumm will bo a speaker at the meeting to-morrow night, and those who want to hear what bearing the nefarious bill has upon the coal inter estsof this country should not fall to hear him. Hon. John B. Robinson, one of the most able and active Republicans of the state, a man who has warm friends all over the state and especially In Shenandoah, will also address the meeting and none should fall to hear him discuss and ex plain the Issues of the day. Messrs. Brumm and Robinson will make the meeting a memorable one. Buy Keystone flour.

The build lng destroyed was occupied by two famil ies and they lost all their household ef fects. It Is thought n spark from a Lehigh cngne set the root of the building on fire. Fine Culinary Display. George M. Schooner, tne affable pro prietor of the White House, on North Main street, has long been recognized as one of the leading caterers of the county, and since he has secured charge of the abovo place has greatly added to that reputation. The two front windows of this house last evening attracted the attention of hundreds of paBsers-by, and many compliments were passed upon the une culinary display. It consisted of pies, puddings, meats of nil kinds, fish, oysters and fruits, nrranged in nn artistle manner. The display is not only attractive to the eye, but will also prove agreeable to the palate, as frequenters to this popular house will attest. Mr. Schoener'a eating house is not surpassed by any outside of the large cities, and he has an excellent trade. Mrs. Evans Surprised.

An unknown man walking up Main street at about half past five o'clock last evening stopped In front of Kehler's dry goods store, and picked up a roll of dres3 goods that was displayed. After ap parently examining It for a moment or two the man placed the roll under his arm and with most deliberate step walked around the corner and out East Lloyd street. People who witnessed the act were so dazzled by the audacity of the man that the idea of intercepting him never entered their minds. A young man who was among the first to recover his presence of mind ran into the store and told the proprietor what had happened. Mr. Kehler started on a sprint around the corner, but It was useless, the man nnd roll were out of sight and have not been seen since. Some Cold Weather Bargains.

FOOD FOR REFLECTION What Enterprise Could do For Shenandoah and Vicinity. SCRANTON SHOWS THE WAY An Active Board of Trade the Secret of Success Culm Banks and Elec tric Power Stations. Hardly a day passes that one or more of our townsmen return from a trip to Scrunton and detail to their friends the wonderful progress which that city Is making. It Is certainly a great city and Is destined to become still greater. It hos within its limits a progressive people who speak and act through a model Board of Trade which exhausts every avenue through which any possible benefit to the olty can bo derived. Shenandoah had a Board of Trade once, but tho timber in It didn't appear to be the kind of which tho Scranton board was composed, hence it did not succeed. One of tho things which Scrnnton counts upon ns n great mainstay for the future Is In the culm banks, nnd as Shen nndonh has an nlmost Innumerable num ber of these banks within its borders it may be of Interest to dwell briefly upon the use to which tbeso banks could be put nnd show how this section of tho region could ba brought closer to the Scranton standard with proper judgment, energy and enterprise. For the data upon which this article Is based wo are in Borne meas ure indobted to the courtesy of Mr. Rufus J. Foster, one of the editors of tho Col liery Engineer, and a member of the Scranton Board of Trade. The Scranton organization has in con templation a step towards making Itself an electrlcat supply station for New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City nnd other cities nnd to carry out Its project Intends to fall back upon the numerous culm banks In the vicinity of the city. Great attention has been given to tho problem with the result that It has been found Scranton can compete with and excel the great scheme to utilize the power of the Niagara Falls. The statistics show the cost of anthra cite fuel per horse-power per year for steam purposes In Scranton ns taken from the books of several manufacturing concerns In that city. For six months concerns with Improved plants, employing 8,700 horse-power, need 391 tons of fuel per day of 24 hours; during tho same tlmo con cerns with unimproved plants, employing 7.SC2 horse power, need ISO tons of fuel per day of 24 hours. We thereforo find that 844 tons of fuel produced 10,122 horse power each day. This fuel costs 25 cents per ton delivered at ''o'lers, or a total of $211 per day for the 10.12J horse-power, or 1.31 cents per horse-power per day, and for 300 working days tho total cost of fuel per horse-power per year to those concerns was $3.03. In a circular entitled "Buffalo nnd Niagara Power" It Is stited that "Niagara will furnish power for a day of 24 hours for an average of $15 a year per horse power." This Is no doubt cheap as compared with tho present cost to concerns In Buffalo who use anthracite or bituminous coal for fuel, but compare it with tho cost of anthracite culm. To develop 10,122 horse power at $15 per year, as quoted by the Niagara company, would be $241,830. In Scranton It actually cost $03,350.40. Add to this the cost of firing, Interest on plant, repairs, etc, which In round num bers la $2 per horse power per year, and wo have an nctual cost of $95,003.40, 6r a net saving over Niagara of $140,220.54. What great possibilities have been brought within reach of Scranton nnd jevery other town of tho anthracite re gion. Just here comes In the consideration of electrla railways. Everybody should encourage them. Tho power houses will become tho home consumers of the culm banks. The more power houses tho more homo consumption, nnd In tlmo the supply of culm will be so largo that there will bo none to spare to the manufacturers at dis tant points, and the market for the regu lar sizes of anthracite coal will be revived. The coal which the miners will send out of the shafts and slopes will always be in demand. Of course, some will question whether the owners of the banks will sell the culm. To this it can be said that if a demand can be created at home and the owners can command prices which will pay them better than to go over the culm and assort the various smaller sizes of coal for distant markets there will be little difficulty lu getting the owners to part with the article As to prices, the home consumers could soon meet the owners. Tho culm would bo taken from the banks and burned In the grates of the power houses, making a saving of hauling from the banks to tho washertes, the operation of these plants and the toll on the product to the distant markets. In addition to these tho owners would receive so much a ton for the waste which even the washerles throw out. Electric power plants can be made the life of this region, and every project towards establlsnlng an electrlo railway. wherever It may be in the region, should be encouraged. The more railways, the greater number of power houses and the greater the consumption of culm. Let every town have a Board of Trade and every town Its electric railway. PERSONAL.
