The celebration and reception given to the people of this place and Freeland on Saturday evening by Congressman elect Leisenring and his friends at the Upper Lehigh hotel was one continued scene of enthusiasm and good feeling in which about 500 people participated.

Another attempt will be made at the next session of the legislature to repeal the oleomargarine law. The subject has been brought before the public in the western part of the state by certain men who claim they represent Eastburn Reeder, state food and diary commis sioner, and who have been prosecuting dealers and restaurant keepers. Each successful prosecution means SSO for the informant. This makes it a paying business. The "detectives" enter a restaurant and ordering a meal slide their chip of butter into an envelope. They turn it over to a chemist, and on the result of his analysis base their suit. One such detective is said to he making S2OO a day out of the scheme. It is said that most of the alleged "de tectives" do not represent Commissioner Reeder at all and several of the Pitts burg aldermen, to whom most of the "oleo" suits were brought, recently re fused to take any more, as they regard theai as cases of persecution. The spot- j ters are now taking their suits to justices ■ of the peace in outlying districts. Three Peck* for a Bushel. Fakirs have been in Wilkes-Barre for the past two weeks deceiving the public by selling potatoes at retail from house i to house at ostensibly 15 cents a bushel less than wholesale prices. They are offering them at 60 cents a bushel, and find ready sale for them wherever they go. The way the public is being de frauded, according to the Record , is that the basket, from all appearance, is a bushel basket, hut it has a false bottom and contains only three pecks, just one peck short of the honest measure. This is not generally known, as they are cunning enough to carry them into the cellar and put them away, and the purchaser is not the wiser. AppointmentK Announced. George Llewellyn, prothonotary-elect, will retain John Salmi as liis chief dep uty. Mr. Salmi lias held that position for the past fifteen or twenty years, under Republican and Democratic pro thonotaries. The other deputies will be I'■ P. Holcomb, of West l'ittston, who was assistant chairman of the county | committee, and E. B. Carr, of Wilkes- Barre, son of the cracker bakery pro prietor and a brother-in-law of Mr. Llewellyn. JiiriK" Khone'n New Quarter*. From the Wilkes-Ilurre Leader. Judge Rhone has leased a suit of rooms on the first floor of No. 7 Bouth Frank lin street and is already fitting them up into haudsome law offices. He will es tablish himself there and make a speci alty of orphans' court practice. It goes without saying that in a short time he will have the < i, v ins' court j practice of any A•. r i >ar.

McLaughlin, aged 18, a driver boy in the Maxwell colliery, Wilkes- Barre, was kicked in the stomach by a vicious mule on Friday. lie walked to his house, about a half a mile from the the mine, and just as he placed his hand on the door knob ho fell dead.

The engineers and trainmen escaped. About twenty cars were broken to splin ters. No traffic could be run over the road all day ami the several colleries on that branch were obliged to quit work.

From the Buffalo Times. The house was packed full last night and the audience was perfectly satisfied with the excellent performance of "The Boy Tramp." Tito play is pretty, full of fun and human interest, and is much improved since its production here last season, both in east and scenic effects. The company are all capable people ami acted their parts in a masterly manner. Augustine Neuville is a clever comedian after the style of Roland Reed, and made as great a hit. with the big au dience. Mme. Neuville today is to melodrama what lite great Mme Janauseheck, in her best days, was to tragedy; and indeed in the appearance, stage presence anil gen eral portrayal of parts, the work of these two remarkably gifted women is not dis similar. The scenery is a big feature i and was received with loud applause. BRIEF ITEMS OF NEWS. PARAGRAPHS GATHERED FROM ALL PARTS OF THE REGION.

The dead body of an unknown man was found along the Lehigh Valley Rail road near Lofty on Friday morning. It is supposed that he was struck by a pas sing train during the night. There was nothing found about the clothing which would lead to his identity. The purchasing class of people, especi ally the most desirable purchasers, are generally pretty busy people who have no time to go around hunting up places in which to make their purchases. They expect to see what they want advertised in the newspapers, and therefore the enterprising merchants advertise. Hazleton voted by a large majority for city water works.
