Alf'our lo night the first 'guns of the spring election campaign will be fired by the Democratic party, which will hold Its primaries and nominate its borough and ward tickets'. The party has been making its arrangements in a' very quiet manner, and there is reason to believe that many at the ward' fights that have been the subjects of so much prediction during the past several weeks will not material ize when the primaries are opened. There m.ty be some factions! dlsplay ln one or two wards, but It is pretty well understood that no faction will place the party In such 'a position that It will be imporslblo to pull It together to make a fight itgalns: the tickets the Citizens party will place in the Ueld, so the latter must not allow itself to be misguided by con fidence. The Democratic party will make a determined fight this spring to retain its majority in the Borough Council and School Board, and as no big borough fight Is on hand this year they will be 1 i i 1 I it.l M 1 ki aoie to concentrate an uieir lurues iu OTtfa- tfSnTfelf TTftST rw the respective ward. It is reported that JL tr kAA3,R5,-JESk. there are bad bdIUb in the First and Fifth wards, but this cannot be relied upon. Some Democrats are desirous of having this Impression made in order to disarm the Citizens party and, If possible, create a big stay-at home force in its ranks. The prosp cts for -success for the Citi zens party this year are very good and the party is well united. Judicious nom inations at the primaries to be held to morrow night will bring it victory. The joint meeting of the Standing Committee Which means virtually a Saving1 of 5 loaves Of bread on and candidates for nominations held In uie rooms 01 tne oueuanaouu uepuuucau 116-18 N. Main St of the Gouncllmen of the Third waru of that borough, and by ldngodds the ablest dntflnthe body, trod the tiles of the Mer chant' Hotel one day this week. Archie, as .he is familiarly called,- ls'Onevofbhe most progressive' inen id this county; He Is active, alert amhapt ahd can always be depended upon to.unmaskdemagoglsm whenever it shows' Itself,-as iv frequently does in1 the Couucllmanlc- session' of Ills cosmopolitan town. To listen to Archie roasting a recalcitrant member from the First ward at a recent meeting was equal lo a first-class dramatic entertainment, and certainly more amusing and Instruc tive than many that show on the boards of that town's musty old play house. Speaking of Shenandoah and apropos of the appearance of Keilar, the magician, in Pottsvllle last night, I am reminded of a performance he atte npted in the town above the mountain two or three seasons ago. The madame was doing her cube root extracting act and Kellaroffered $100 to any one In theaudlence whodlscovered an error. The quick mathematical eye of Frank Reese (ha who was a clerk under Controller Severn) detected an error.called It out and proved It. He read his title clear to tho hundred and Keilar planked them down. -ii i Everybody Invited to partake of an elegant free lunch at McElhenny's Satur day evening. To do something for you.

Wo have not had a complaint of it, and guarantee it to give entire satisfaction. League last night was an excellent one, It was extremely harmonious and all can didates have resolved that they will accept the results at the primaries as the voice of the people and abide by them. The Crawford county system is to be given a fair and honest trial and it is almost generally believed that It will not only prove satisfactory, but that it will ultimately be adopted by the county. The abolishment of the conferree system is accepted with general favor. When the Citizens Standing Com mtttee met last Dlght It had all tickets for the primaries filled with the exception of nominees for Judges and Inspectors of Election and Committeemen, The com' mlttee filled the vacancies after a con' sulfation as follows: Judges of Election- First ward, David Rennle; Secend, H. C, Boyer; Third, M. H. Kehler; Fourth, James J. Powell; Fifth, Jeffrey Williams. Inspectors First ward, F. C. Reese; Second, Henry Goodman; Third, George L. Hafner; Fourth, P. W Blersteln; Fifth, Andrew Grimes. Standing Com mlttee First ward, David Renuie ; Second, W. J. Watklns; Third, T. J. James; Fourth, B.J. Yost; Fifth, John L. HaBsler. The following temporary election boards were appointed to conduct the primaries on Friday night: First ward Edward Doherty, judge; JohnKendrick.tnspector; F. C. Reese, clerk. Second George H. Krlck, judge ; Henry Goodman, inspector; William Reeves, dark. Third 31. H. Kehler, judge; George L. Hafner, in spector ; Thomas Edwards, clerk. Fourth James J. Powell, judge; P. W. Bier- stein, inspector ; Samuel Shone, clerk. Fifth William Brown, Judge; Samuel Davis, Inspector ; John Bunn, clerk. The distribution of the tickets for the primaries was the most puzzling question before the meeting. Under the new rules the Standing Committee has nil tickets printed, the expense being defrayed by the assessments made on tho candidates. Some thought all the tickets should be reserved at the primaries and given to the voters. Others thought certain amount should be reserved for that purpose and the balance distributed among the candidates to be used while making their oanva-is. It was finally decided that 1,000 tickets be printed for each ward, 300 to be reserved for distribu tion by the election board to voters, aud the balance (700) to be distributed propor tlonately among the candidates. An amendment that all the tickets berctalneu at the primary window was defeated, but n siiliRwiiifint motion that all tickets ue distributed at the polls was carried. The candidates who may be successlul at the primaries and the Standing Com mittee will meet in tne uepunucan League rooms next Monday evening, at seven o'clock. Stoves at Sheriff's Sale.

Moses Hummel, a well known and highly respected resident of Mahanoy Plane, met with a terrible death at that place on the plain Tuesday afternoon. No ne witnessed the. accident. The supposi tion is that he failed to notice the up proach of a trip of cars. Hummel com menced oiling pulleys of the plane. Sometime after some Hungarians discovered fragment of a human body scattered over the plane. The largest piece was a foot. Parts of the face and Jiead were lound, but they could not be Identified. A boot was recognized as one owned by Hummel and by that only was his Identity established. Several people have been killed on the plane, but none were mutilated as this victim was. Hummel left a wife and five children. Extraordinary free lunch at McEI henny's cafe Saturday evening. PERSONAL. Miss Mary Whalen, of Wilkes-Barre, is the guest of town friends.

A correspondent of a Mahanoy Clly paper has aroused the Ire ot Postmaster Mellet by his assertions of a lack of proper Illumination and clerical force In the post office. Mr. Mellet says that so far as the Illumination is concerned there is a degree of justification in the complaint and that it is due to a force of circumstances over which thero W no control at present. The uncertainty as to whdther tho post office will be retained at the present quarters has deterred the postmaster from expend ing money to furnish the facilities for' illumination required, but as soon as the location of the office is definitely settled he will fill all requirements nnd, If necessary, furnish the correspondent with an electric light and storage battery, so that he may control his own supply of light when he visits the office. The management of Ferguson's theatre has reduced the prices ot admission for 'The White Squadron," to be produced at the theatre next Tuesday evening. This was brought about by a communication published in the Hehald yesterday, In which a protest was made against the advertised rates of 23, 50 aud 75 cents and $1, In face ot the Pottsvllle rates not being higher than 75 cents. To day Assistant Manager Qulnn stated that the original announcement was a mistake. That In preparing thef advertisement for the show an old "nd" was used and the "$l" on it was overlooked. The pressure on local business circles arising from hard times is gradually driving people oat, of the field, and It is quite likely that In the near future several prominent business men will go upon the retired list. George Shoener, the oyster man, vacated his place yester day," and it is said one of the leading boot, anu snoe aeaiers anu a milliner win soon follow the example. ' There was a lively political discussion In the Fifth ward this morning during which a bet of ten dollars was made that If Councilman E. F.

Tha Congress ot Navies appeals directly to the maritime spirit of every nation, and as the government of this country is represented as being in the breach on every occasion there is no lack of inspira tion for local patriotic outbursts. The feminine element la the play is rather unduly suppressed, but, when it does have an opportunity, there Is nothing lacking; in delineation. Bank Stock for Sale.
