The district is said to be ' good for 100 Republican majority, but i in politics strange tilings happen and some people would not be surprised to see the new part carried by the Demo crats. If outward dissatisfaction can be taken as a sign of how Republicans in Foster intend to vote, the Democratic ticket will go in with a nice majority. The troubles in the cauip of the majority party are as far from settlement as ever, and good earnest work by the Democrats will make victory complete. The friends of the Citizens' ticket claim that since South Ilebeoton is in that they have more than a lighting chance to elect their candidates. The annexed district contains many ardent supporters of Mr. Lewis and the other Citizens' nominees. John \V. Hay worth succeeds Salvatore DePierro as the Republican candidate for judge of election in the fourth dis trict of the borough. Thomas Rogan, a son of Patrick of Freeland, is a candidate for tax collector of Lansford. WorWng mittens, 15c. At Sippel's. BRIEF ITEMS OF NEWS. PARAGRAPHS GATHERED FROM ALL PARTS OF THE REGION.

The newspaper must, however, be that on which the subscription has been paid in full, or the dampness resulting from what is "due" will cause the fruit to spoil. The powder house of A.

He will manage a club there for a syndicate. What connection the team will have with other clubs is not yet known, as Ilazleton is not in cluded in the towns composing the new league. The Mauch Chunk newspapers are opposed to having the club there enter the new Lehigh Valley league, and it is not probable that the team will be a member. The Philadelphia Press yesterday had a dispatch from here giving the makeup of the Tigers club for the coming season. As the Tigers have done nothing this year in regard to the game, no reliance can be placed on such news. EngliHh Baptist Church Notes. There will he preaching at the church on Monday, Tuesday.
