would be found fighting shoulder to shoulder
and in another part of the town the same

appearance that the most astute politician
could not put tlio fmgiui'Uts together to make
cwii n wax figure or the uilginal. The tiattle

In nil Hit? wards of the town were frequeut
clashes at the polls that reached tile vergo of
peisonal cnenuntero. Iu fact blows wete

prominent members of the local IVtiMcruiy

fought pilinaries in the history of the bor

night to tbu tune of "Theru Was a Hot Time
in thu Old Town To-day" it would have been
quite opportune.
To describe the situation as it should be
duuu for the satisfaction ,if thosb not ac
quainted with the details would be a task
greater than an expert would undertake and
require more spuce than tiie modern news

leader is necessarily left to draw his own con
clusions I10111 thu iesults of the primaries as
given below.

for the lespective candidates. Second in
importance was the tight for Sciiatoiial dele.
gates betwi en lion. M. V. W'atsun, former
Senator fiom this district, and John '.
Higgins. Hut, then, there was a circle
within a elide. In ome of tho winds the
tight became a personal one against tlio men
running for the dulegateships. This was
prominently developed inoro especially in the
1 'ir.it and Second wauls. In thu foimer
William .Mi Guile, president of the liorotigh
Council, ai d in the Third ward Hon. T. J.
Higgins were confronted witli an opposition
which was directed against them personally
and the identity of the principals they rep
resented were practically lost sight of during
the battle. Mr. McUtiirc lost and Ml.
Higgins pulled thiuugh with a majority ol
twu.
In the Second ward the houso of the
Democracy became divided against itself 011
the organization of the primary boa 10. The
faction icpiesented by M, M. lturke, lq ,
and cx-Postmastcr .Michael Mellet kicked be
cause 1'. J. Mulliollaiid, the standing com
mitteu man of the ward failed to recognize
Mellet'a motion to organize the board by a
scratch vote. They claimed tho primary
was packed by minors and uon-icsidciits to
seeuio Control of the board, and withdrew.
Mr. Mulliollaiid said ho was tlio committee
man and the board was organized by vnicu of
the people. His boaul settled down to busi
ness and tho liurke-Mellet faction organized
a Second hoard.
It was stated that the split would nut iuter-
fuiu Willi Harry .Miildcon's chances. Two
icasons weie given. In the first placo, his
friends claimed, any contests buforo the
county cotiveuliiiii would result ill bis favor,
the intimation being that he would
capture tbo chairmanship and stand ill favor
with the coinmiltee on credentials. The
second reason ollWed for the assertion wa
tliat tho combined vote of thu uvo polls gave
gavo Miildoiiu a majority. Tbu ilradiiiau
people were just as confident, that the calcu
lations of tbu Mulduun faction would run up
ugains' an iceberg.
Accoidiug to tho undisputed returns Mill-
dnoii secured tho delegates In Hie Third
l'oiirth and Fifth Wards, while Ilradigaii got
the First Want delegates.
On the Senutorsbip Higgins got nine of the

Hon. 'I'h 1111:1s . I. Higglus, of Shenandoah,
was named as one of the vice pu sideiits and
the committie on lusoliitioiH leported In ef
fect us follows :
Starting out it lcallirins the Democratic
doctime as contained 111 the party's platform
fiom JeH'ccson down to the present timuanil
assuitB that local matters ovei-shadow all
other issues. The stale platform, asaduptid
at Altoona is endorsed and t lie money issue
is treated witli silent contempt. Monopollc
and trusts, it says, must be abolished and
taxation must be for nubile nurnnscsoiilv and
not for private piolll. as coiporatu monopolies
increase the cost of living and at the same
time icdiice wages to Mien a point that work
ingincii llnd taxes a burden. The last State
Legislature is inanileil as corrupt and It Is
charged tint unnecessary ullieers have been
created and salaiits iucicascd. It is charged
thai, the state funds ale deposited in banks,
without security, or on inadequate security
1.111I without interest, and that these bunks
nic controlled, hy Kepiiblicans. All this the
platform promises the Dumnciatic party will
reform if it gets a chance.
The platform le-asseits and affirms the
ilglitot tile people to ii'scmhlc ami 111 a
peaceable manner discuss their grievances
and rights without hindrance, and denounces
tho shunting down of the stilkers at I.atti
iner last September.
Tbo present depiesscd condition of tbo coal
trade is also deplored and the discrimination
of the coal carrying companies in freight
riles against anthracite coal is condemned,
The platform demands the enactment of
legislation or tbu eufoi cement of present legis
lation to remedy this evil. The Uepiiblicaii
administration of the court bouse and alms,
bouse ollices are branded as coirupt and pro
lligate. Alleged niinece.saiy iucieasu iu
clerical force and high wages are charged
and the platform pledges the Dene 1 ram
party to reform these ollices
Tho platform concludes with a strong war
it-solution. It says that the present war witli
Spain is a righteous war and approves the
conduct of the war by the government. It
also pledges to thu piesident the undivided
support of the Democratic party to bring the
war to 1111 honorable and successful termin
ation.
'lliu resolutions were adopted without a
minority report.
It was learned that on the vote ignoring
the endorsement of the Chicago platform in
tho committee it stood I to 2 iu favor of deal
ing witli the statu ami county issues.
John O. Ulricli, Ksq., seemed thu floor to
criticise the action of tlio convention iu ac

born fire being extinguished in such
a sliuit period of tlmo with no loss of
life and practically no 0110 injured. This

Gulden's qualifications and efficiency, to

Indomitable will power that ho so success
fully overcame them all. It is said that tho
lire had been raging for twenty-four houis
in an abandoned part of tbo mine, where it
originated, before it was discovered and it
was witli tho greatest dilliculty that men
could get to the place. Together with these
setbacks were a scarcity of hoso and pipe
which had tu bo borrowed from tho neigh
boring colliuiies, and many other difficulties
which would discourage and overwhelm nine
uf uvery ten men placed in a similar position,

That it is n success was demonstrated by our
test made last week in full view oftlie public.
Considering the difficulties the test was made
under, the stove really excelled all guarantees
which accompanies a sale. This range was
shipped direct from the factory, was never
subject to even a fire, and after the first match
was applied, it was ready for bahiug purposes
in two hours.
Two pans of biscuits, six
dozen In all, one pan on the
bottom and the other on
the shelf, were baked
brown In less than twenty-five
minutes, and distributed among
the spectator as a sample of Its
baking qualities,
The same test and results will be derived
in cooking and roasting.
This range, "The Cinderella" is daily dis
played on the sidewalk in front of our store.
An invitation is extended to all to call nnd
examine it. Several of them have already
been sold, and only the highest words of
