Many Republican Voters Think It More'holu- TJie first, or ground floor, ' lias re-
Advisable to Sail Into the Battle
Under the Old Name.
There is considerable discussion as to
tbe wisdom of abolishing the Citizens
ticket for the approaching fcpring election
and putting a st.-atght Republican ticket
in the fleld,and it Is not improbable that at
Its' meeting on the 15th inst. tbe Standing
Committee will reconsider the action it
took at its last meeting, so far ai the
name of the ticket ls concerned.
For'several years past there has been a
howl on the part of the Republican voters
of the borough against the imposition
practiced at their primaries by Democrats
Who took a hand in the meetings for no
other reason than to serve personal ends,
or to bring about the weakest nomina
tions possible, so that the Democrats
would have less trouble to defeat them.
With each recurring year the cry for a
stralghtout Republican system has in
creased and last Spring it was so formid
able that many thought that In instruct
ing the Standing Committee to adopt the
Crawford county system the primaries
had also Instructed a change of the name
from "Citizens" to ''Republican." This, it
appears from investigation, was an error.
The resolution by which one of the
primaries decided upon tbe adoption of
the Crawford county system has been
resurrected. It bears the signatures of
one hundred and seven voters of the ward
in which the primary was held and set
forth: "We therefore recommend that
the city committee of the Citizens party
abolish tbe present conferee system of
making nominations, and substitute
therefor a regular system of balloting
fcr candidates at the primaries, under
which the nominees of the borough, as
well as the ward tickets, shall be chosen
by popular vote."
It will be seen that no reference was
made to a change of the party name, and
this having been established, together
with the apparent weight of sentiment in
favor of retaining the name "Citizens,"
there is reason to believe that the
Standing Committee will rescind its action
In changing the name and have the old
one restored.
The name of the party can in no way in
terfere with the operation of the new
system, so that there can be no objection
to the re-adoption of the old name on that
score.

Building: Plans.
C. E. Tltman has decided upon the Im
provements to the East Centre street prop
erty he recently purchased from Richard
Harlngton. He will not build a theatre
because he has nqt sufficient room, and
be will not convert an? part of the build
ing Into a lodge or ball room on account
of the trouble required to look after such
places. The frame building at the Mar
ket'street end of the property will be torn
down and In its place and on the lot im
mediately adjoining on Centre street ho
will erect a substantial brick building
that will have store rooms on the ground
floor and offices and gentlemen's lodging
apartments in the upper stories. The lat
ter apartments will be fitted up with all
modern conveniences and will be intended
for gentlemen who do not like hotels or
boardlnghouses.
Zollncr's Rage.
William Zollner, a desperate character
of this town, who is serving a term of two
years in the Pottsvllle jail for the pari,
he took In robbing the house of Danla
Brennan, on West Coal street, attacked
Warden Dunkleberger at the prison on
Monday night. Zollner became enraged
because another prisoner had been placed
in his cell and an attempt was made to
handcuff him. He fastened his teeth In
Dunkleberger'a forei.rm and his hold was
only broken after much difficulty.
Glover's iilUShots.
Editor Herald : I read in last night's
HERALD that there is but few marksmen
in the vicinity of Glover's Hill. It la my
opinion that there ls as good marksmen
on Glover's Hill as there is in any part of
Shenandoah, especially where the Herald
is. It is not the markman's business to
go around on the Sabbath day looking for
vicious dogs with a shotgun or a revolver,
and that was the only time it was seen
around Glover's Hill, or you bet the worst
marksman would have shot It, let alone
the best. ,

SADDLING
THE COSTS.
A Grand Jury Lesson Given
to
Prosecutors.
HOW THEY GET TO COURT.
When the Accused Waive a Hearing the
Justices Have no Alternative But to
Send the Cases to Court.
The Grand Jury now In session at Potts
vllle seems to be composed of the kind of
timber the people have been seeking for
some tinif tho kind of men who realize
the great Injustice of dismissing com
plaints In petty suits and putting tbe
costs on tt e taxpayers, while thick headed
people who Invoke tho aid of tho law to
veut their spleen go their way peacefully,
satisfied with putting those who they
pro. ecutert to the troublo of attending
court, Yesterday seven cases of that
kind, all from Shenandoah, too, were
ignored by the Grand Jury, and in each
case the costs were put on the prosecutor.
This may have the effect of making some
of the habitual and vindictive litigants
think before they launch suits In the
future.
A Justice of town said to-day, "The
Justices cannot be held responsible for re
turning these petty cases to court. The
prosecutors come before us and tell stories
that form excellent grounds for suits.
We issue warrants and when tho accused
appear they almost Invariably waive n
hearing and we have no alternative, but
must put them under bail."
A case in point came up yesterday before
Justice Toomey when Mike Stock prose
cuted Mike Sharot for perjury. Stock
was prosecuted before Justice Cardln for
creating a disturbance in Sharot's house.
The prosecutor alleged that Stock was
put out of his house, but returned and at
tempted to stab Sharot. This case was
settled. In the perjury case yesterday
Stock swore and presented witnesses who
swore that the man did not return to the
house after he left it and that no knife
was exposed at any time that night.
Sharot was asked what he had to say in
his own behalf and replied that he wonld
neither deny nor affirm tho charge, but go
to court and tell his story there. He was
put under ball.

COMPLAINTS OF CITIZENS.
Corner Loungers and a Misplaced Letter
Box Cause Trouble.
The attention of the police is called to
tbe Farmer's hotel corner, Main and Coal
streets, which is almost continually occu
pied by young men who insult passersby.
The other evening a gentleman from Mah
anoy City had his hat ruined by snow
ball1 thro ivn by this crowd and when he
protested he was jeered and otherwise
insulted. One of the policemen visited
tbe corner and, of course, saw no disturb
ance, but lie bad hardly turned his back
when the crowd resumed its tactics and
carried tbein out with a high hand. This
evil canonlr be abated by the police dis
persing tho crowd and allowing no loaf
lug about the hotel.
SHOULD nU CHANGED.
The letter box at the cornrr of Cherry
and Gilbert streets is causlug considerable
annoyance. It is so located as -to be an
obstruction to people who must pass over
the pavement. A little girl was so badly
injured by striking her head against It
that she had to be carried to her home.
and on another occasion an old lady who
collided with the box was thrown to the
pavement with such force as to almost
cause the fructure of unarm.

"The Outcast."
The romantic drama, "The Outcast,"
presented at the opera house last night,
was a complete success. Its story is told
with simplicity and directness, its scenes
are carried on amid such picturesque
surroundings as never fall to gratefully
Impress the eye, and bits of comedy of a
kind that ihirlably appeals to a popular
assemblage, alternate with pathos that
stirs with unfalllug swiftness tbe emotions
of the throng. Harold Holmes wins the
sympathy of his spectators at once, and
In the third act rouses them to unwonted
excitement by his meeting with his enemy
and bis simple bravery and determination.
