Inspector in Town Seeking Post Office Quarters. New A CHANGE WILL BE MADE. It Is Believed That the Office Will be Moved Unci; lo the Old Place on West Centre Street. It Is more than likely that in the near future the location of the local postofllce will bo changed. Postofllce Inspector Owlngs, of Washington, was In town yes terday and spent most of the day looking at available places. It Is not known what recommendation he will make to the de partment, or what place he will recom mend, but it Is quite certain that he will recommend a change of locution. It booms that the owner of the premises now occupied is not satisfied with tho rent he has been receiving and recently inti mated to Postmaster Mellet that the steam heat would be cut off If additional rent could not be secured. An Increased rent can hardly be paid, as the govern ment only allows a fixed sum for rent, heat and light $375 per year and should an increase be made it would come out of the postmaster's pocket. The rumor that the postofllce Is to be removed to Postmaster Mel let's building, oa East Centre street, U without founda tion. In the first place Mr. Mellet's property as arranged at present Is not 1 irge enough and, secondly, there is a saloon in the basement and the govern ment will not allow any of Its postal branches to bo located In the same build ing with a saloon. The Franey building, corner of Main And Oak streets, has been suggested as a site and inspected, but as there is also a saloon In the cellar of this building it will not be considered. Among the places Inspector Owlngs visited yesterday were the Hlggins prop erty on South Main street, near the First National Bank, tho Ferguson's theatre building, and the store rooms in the Ferguson Hotel building, on the Centre street side. The postofllce was located at the latter place before it waB established at its present quarters, and it Is generally believed that it will he moved back there. Inspector Owlngs left for Minersvllle last evening. Over 10,000 druggists recommend and sell Prof. Fields' worm powders. It Special Meetings. All members of Lady Harrison Lodge, No 10, A. P. L.

Newhart Makes Another Demand For the Church Keys Without Suc cessAction by the Court. Among tho commercial travelers who were guests at tho Ferguson House last evening was ono who seemed a tower of flesh. He attracted much attention nnd It seemed to annoy him considerably. Whenever ho observed any one eyeing him he would shoot back a dagger glance which generally caused the looker to turn his head. Ex-Tax Receiver John A. Tittnan Is considered one of the heavy weights of tho town, but when he took a seat beside tho stranger he found that he was comparatively a light-weight. Almost everybody In And about the hotel devised a scheme to learn tho weight of the stranger, but all failed. Tltman got the nearest to the mark, but got no satis faction. He and the xtranger sat besido each other for an hour or more Indulging In a most friendly and evidently n mutu ally beneficial conversation, but whenever Tltman showed an Inclination to talk about weights the stranger would open a recital of some interesting experience dur ing his trips through various parts of the world. He had been n great traveler. "You must pull the scales down pretty well," Tltman would remark. "I guess I do," tho stranger would answer, and he would then branch off and the anxious public was obliged to let It go at that. The estimates ran from 350 to 475 pounds nnd the majority of tho guesses were near the latter figure. M Thero was another stir among tho mem' bers of the local Evangelical church con gregatlon yesterday. It was caused by another visit from Rev. Newhart, of Potts vllle, the Eiherlte clergyman who Is try ing to get possession of the church under the decision of the Supreme Court in tho Reading case. Rev. Newhart secured the keys of the churches nt Ashland and Locust Dalo on Wednesday and came here yesterday to get the keys of the local church. He called upon the trustees nnd showed them n letter from his counsel, Ex-Judgo Ryon, In which a form nl do niand was made for the keys, but tho trustees refuted to surrender on the ground that the congregation had decided to hold possession until ordered to vacate by the courts of Schuylkill county. They claim that, whllo under tho general effect of the Supreme I'ourt doclbion the church must ultimately be surrendered, tho stntus.of tho congregation here nnd that of the church Involved in the case under the decision nro not the same, In that in tho Reading case the congregation was divided and hero the congregation is united against tho Eiherlto-Bowmnnlte faction, that the latter haven't a member nnd not ono of the faction contributed n cent towards building the church. Under these facts and others tho local congrega tion is still hopeful that the court may take a different view of tho matter when the proper time comes. . When Max Reese, the auctioneer, opened his place of business yesterday morning he found the floor strewn with empty shoe boxes find the mtscellanepus stock pn the counters and shelves scattered nbout the place In a manner that showed a hasty Inspection had been made during the night. An Investigation showed that the front door of tho storo had been opened during the night and a quantity of stock had been stolen. By forcing a piece of tin fattened over an opening In one of the doors the robbers had little difficulty in reaching the latch inside. Mr. Reese kept the mntterqulet yesterday in the hope that some clue to the robbers or stolen goods could be secured, and Btated last night that he was coufident a discovery or recovery would be-made very soon. He estimates that over one hun dred dollars worth of goods, principally shoes that had been sent him for sale on commission, were stolen. Rupture. Cure guaranteed. No operntlon.

Several weeks ago the Herald called attention to the determination of J. K. P. Schellly not to allow hU plice to be used as the Second want polling place any lon ger. Considerable prominence was given to tho announcement and It wan urged that n change of place be arranged at once. For some unknown reason no atten tion was given to the matter. The election Is now near nt hand and tho Second ward has no polling place. Mr. Sohlefly has agalu Btated positively to a Herald re porter that he will not allow the trailing placo to be tooatixl at his house this fall. The change should bo made at once nnd the new place selected generously adver tised. If this Is not done many vots may be lost. People not aware of the change will go to the old staud and may not hnve tlmo to go to tho new place. Oysters In all styles at the White Honsa to-night.
