DRIFTON ITEMS.
There is some complaint here about
the manner the company's delivery
wagons are arranged when they are
sent out with green truck, etc. It is
claimed that the best and chociest goods
are. not exposed for sale when the wagons
are driven through certain parts of town,
being stowed away until the residences
of the bosses and foremen arc reached.
The women folks complain of this dis
crimination, and would like to know
why it is done. Our advice is to deal
witli Freeland merchants if you are not
suited by the company.
An old resident made some timely
remarks upon the Ilarrisburg excursion
a few nights ago. He said: "How
many people would go on Tuesday if
anything of benefit to the workingmcn
could be gained by the trip? Ask them
to interest themselves half so much for
the miners as they do for corporations
and note how their enthusiasm would
cool off.*'
Engine 17, which was in the shops
undergoing repairs, was turned out on
Wednesday as good as new, witli

is coal there and that before long it will
be in process of mining.

Lenulian for Huperior Jiulfu.
A dispatch from Wilkosburre on Sat
unlay status that John T. Lonalian,
who is acknowledged to bo 0110 of the
great criminal lawyers of the, state and
equal to any in common pleas matters
as well, is being brought out by Luzerne
county for one of the superior court
judgeship nominations at the Wllliains
port convention. The Wilkesbarro
Leader indorses Mr. Lcuahau's candi
dacy in these strong terms:
"Several of the Democratic leaders of
this vicinity have been discussing more
or less the superior court judgeship
question, and there seems to be a gener
al, in fact unanimous, feeling that the
Democrats of Luzerne should have a
candidate nominated at tile state con
vention at Wliliamsport, and all eyes
turn to the Napoleon of the Luzerne
liar, John T. Lonalian, Esq. There is
no lawyer in till) state of l'onnsy!vanlii
that is Mr. Lenahan's superior as u
criminal practionor, and there are not
many his equal.
"His experience and ability do not
lie only is criminal practice, but. in
all brandies of law lie is a master, as is
evidenced by the victories In has won in
tlie common pleas, botli as attorney for
plaintiffs and defendants. Mr. Lenulian
stands high and is in close relation with
the leaders of the state Democracy, and
if there is any Democrat In the state
who can come out a winner this fall Mr.
Lenulian is the man."

the grade at a speed of thirty-live miles
an hour when Mortorman Jenkins was
horror-stricken to sec another car round
ing a curve near tlie foot of tlie grade.
This car was supposed to wait in a
switcli a short distance further down tlie
road. Tlie brake of tlie car coming
down tlie grade was applied by the mot
orman, but It made 110 appreciable differ
ence In Its speed, and tlie cars struck
with terrific force.

A number of fatal accidents occurred

SynnpsU of TodHy'H Show.
Tlie coining of a circus to town attracts
a deal of attention from all classes and
conditions of people. Men of all condi
tions elbow each other in obtaining
positions of vantage 111 order to witness
tlie entire performance from the begin
ning to end. Leon W. Washburn, a born
showman, who lias brougut his circus,
museum and menagerie, hippodrome and
Wild West to Freeland, Is one of the
progressive amusement caterers of tlie
day, and as the years advance lie con
tinues to improve his great aggregation,
striving to improve it every season, and
tills year lie eclipses all former efforts.
In tlie circus department lie lias no
fewer than six bare-back riders, ten
arealists, thirty acrobats, numbers of
jugglers and other performers too
numerous to mention. The royal troupe
of Japs from Tokio are marvels of dex
terity, and their remarkable feats arc
partlculnry bright specimens of their
unique efforts. The hippodrome races
are soul stirring and as spirited as ii
they were given in days of Ciesar. Not
tlie least interesting portion of them are
the congress of rough riders and their
feats of riding bucking bronchos, throw
ing the larlet or lasso and Illustrating
life in the far west. In a most realistic
manner as is possible to lie.
The museum is most pretentious, and
a novelty that Is positively new is the
cat minstrels—real live cats playing 011
numerous musical instruments as' If they
were possessed of human intelligence
Aside from this entertaining exhil.it.
they are myriads of other interesting
curios that would take too much space,
to enumerate. In tlie menagerie there
is assembled a large and varied collection
of wild beasts from all climes of the
world. Many other Interesting animals,
birds and reptiles are to lie soon.
It looks as if Mr. Leon W. Washburn
Is going to give the public a little more
than their money's worth this season.
Tho free exhibition of "Captain Halloy."
the San Francisco fireman, diving from
an aerial ladder, l'-Vi feet high, is certain
ly enough to amaze and fill the beholder
with wonder at his daring performances

Freeland, August 20.
EDITOR TRIBUNE.—Tho strugglo to
obtain control of the office of mine in
spector of this inspection district has
aroused much comment in this vicinity.
The friends of the respective aspirants
have occupied much space in the local
papers to defame the other candidate
and boom their favorite. The friends of
Mr. Lewis point to tlie rotten record of
Mr. Roderick as inspector and super
intendent, and claim that a man who
has been tried and found wanting cannot
bo trusted in the future. Roderick's
friends retort that while it may he true
that their favorite hud not lived up to
the law as superintendent of the Stock
ton mines, yet they claim that had John
M. Lewis fulfilled his duty as inspector.
Roderick had to obey the law. and that
Lewis is as deep in the mud as Roderick
is in tin? mire.
While there may he much truth in tin?
contentions on both sides, yet to any
disinterested observer all these argu
ments must appear ns superfluous rot.
injected into tlie controversy for tlie
purpose of deceiving the public and
diverting attention from the real point
at Issue, namely, tlie illegality of the
whole proceeding, and the disregard of
law so manifest in the methods of the
hoard of examiners.
Mr. Lewis has charged the hoard with
cheating him, and while said hoard had
tin? power to prove its integrity by
merely complying with the law in having
questions and answers printed, it has
failed to do so and stands condemned in
tin? estimation of all fair-minded men.
Tho law states specifically that "tho
names of the applicants, tlie questions
asked and the answers thereto shall be
published in at least two local papers,
daily or weekly." lias this boon com
plied with?
If not, why not? FAIR PLAY.
Deafness Cannot l>o Curotl
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
1 lmre is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies'.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of tho
eustachian tube. When this tube pets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, anil un
less the infl.imation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will bo di stroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catnrrah, which is nothing hut an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
Me will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
