common pleas of the county aforesaid on the
thirtieth day of September, 1899, at 10 a. m.,

Welsh Bros.' Show in Maryland.
After the success with which Welsh
Brothers' show met here ono year ago,
and the good reputation they left behind
them, it is little wonder that tho spaco
under their large tented canvass is
scarcely large enough to accomodate
the mighty throng that is visiting each
performance on this, their second visit.
Welsh Brothers seem to have studied
the wishes of the people, and found out
that what was wanted was a good,
clean, up-to-date moral show. At least
that lathe kind of a show they are giv
ing, and judging from its unparalleled
success, it's tho kind that was needed.
Akimoto's Japanese troupe is a won
der. Their performance is startling,
and has to be seen, as it cannot be de
scribed.
Alfred Ileintz is another wonder. Ho j
stands on his head in midair as natural
ly as some people walk on their feet on
the ground.
A double trapeze act by West and
Zanta Is great, while Mile. Corito, the
foot juggler, is marvelous.
Tho climax to the performance may
truly bo said to be Harry Mohn's trained
dogs. They captivated tho audience by
performing tricks that seem impossible.
Their representation of the Fitzslm
nions-Joffries bout astonished all who
beheld it.
Thero are three clowns —John Lan
caster, If. F. West and Charles O'Brien.
They are the funniest that over stepped
into a ring and the beauty about them
is that they don't get off any stale jokes.
Last ovening at (i.30 o'clock a balloon
ascension was given, which was one of
the best over seen here. — Evening Timet,
Cumberland, Md.
Tills mammoth one-ring show will
appear at Froeland ono day only, Mon

NOMINATED THE TICKET.
LUZERNE REPUBLICANS HAVE SE
LECTED COUNTY CANDIDATES.
Judge llulNey Head* the Ticket, Follow
ed by Itaub for Treunurer, Mainwaring
for llcgiftter and Jones and Hay for
County CommisMlonerH.
At tho Republican county convention
in Wilkcsbarre on Tuesday the follow
ing tickot was named:
Judge—Gains L. Ilalsey, White Hav
en.
Register of wills—John Mainwaring,
Plymouth.
Treasurer—Philip T. Raub, Dallas.
Commissioners—John M. Jones, Pitts
ton; Albert D. Hay, Lehman.
Hon. M. B. Williams and Hon. C. A.
Miner were unanimously chosen dele
gates to the national convention in 1900
and A. W. Drake and Alex. Thompson
were choson alternates.
Tho Crawford county system of mak
nominations was adopted.
There were 292 delegates in atten
dance at tho convention, also the prom
inent heelers, boodle-handlers and
bribers of the party, in addition to many
friends of each candidate and hundreds
of disinterested spectators.
Tho convention differed in no way
from the annual gatherings of tho Re
publicans of Luzorno county for the
past five years. The usual number of
monoy-seoking delegates were on the
Square, and the usual amounts await
ing thorn at the various "headquarters." ,
To the man without scruples Monday
night and Tuesday morning was a field
day and more than a few of the dele
gates mado hay from tho leaders' efforts
to keep tho slate intact.
The convention openod at 10.30
o'clock. Senator W. J. Scott, an anti-
Quay man, was elected permanent chair
man without opposition, and William
Downs, Frederick Reese, John 11.
Williams, Fred W. Hocking, Jesso
Alden, A. W. Drake and William Mason
were mado honorary vico chairmen.
Tho resolutions approved the national
policy of tho party, and said tho re
tnarkablo business revival was due to
"the wise and economic policy of the
Republican party, which has as its main
linos a tariff which protects the Amori
can laborer; and tho gold standard
which guarantees to us a stable cur
rency." Tho war policy of President
McKinloy was indorsed. Tho state ad
ministration was approved, and this
was said of Senator Scott's deflection
from the Quay ranks:
"Resolved, That wo most heartily in
dorse tho action of Hon. W. J. Scott as
state sonator; wo boliove that ho has
always had tho welfare of his constitu
ents and the best interests of tho com
monwealth of Pennsylvania at heart in
every stand that he has taken."
Tho delcgatos to tho national con
vention wore instructod to vote for Mc-
Kinloy for president.
Alexander Faruham nominated Judge
Gauis L. Hulscy, of White Haven, for
election to the bench, and ho was nom
inated by acclamation.
Tho foature of tho convention was ox-
Attorney General Palmer's speech in
support of tho adoption of the Crawford
county rules for the government of
primaries and nominatioirof candidates.
Tho rules were then voted on and were
adopted with only three dissenting
votes. So hereafter at Republican pri
maries the votors will voto for tho can
didates they wish nominated.
Nominations for register of wills were
noxt announced in order. Ex-Senator
Kline of Hazieton presented tho name
of the present Incumbent, Hiram P.
Kuntz, of Hazloton.
Attorney John 11. Williams, of Plym
outh, presented tho name of his fellow
townsman, John Mainwaring.
W. J. Morgan, of Frceland, who was
also a candidate for this ofiico, with-
Coining of "The Hustler."
The coining of that famous fabric of
fun, music and movement, Thomas 11.
Davis' farcial play, "The Hustler,"
reconstructed according to the times
and now in everything but name,
promises a lively and refreshing enter
tainment. The revival of this famously
funny show is no mere catch-penny
experiment. Tho production ranks
among the greatest'farce comedies now
touring the country, and ever since its
first conception is said to have sur
passed all its contemporaries in laugh
ter-evoking qualities. As a sparkling
roview of latest wit, fun, melody and
song, tho reputation of "The Hustler"
is as wide as tho continent itself. A
well conceived, satiricai story, a series
of funny situations, a bevy of pretty
girls, tuneful music, together with a
talented array of singers, dancers and
comedians, makes the ensemble of a
performance which is said to bristle
with novelties.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1899.
drow boforc tho convention opened and
his name did not cotno before tho
delegates.
Tho roll of delegates was then called
and tho ballot resulted in a victory for
Mainwaring. Tho vote stood:
Mainwaring 181 M
Kuntz 104H
Mr. Kuntz moved to make tho nomi
nation unanimous, which was done, and
an adjournment was takon until 2
o'clock.
During the noon recess tho friends of
Raub, a candidate for treasurer, worked
among tho delegates with telling effect.
Dotro was the slated candidate, and as
part of tho slate had already gone
through it required more than ordinary
inducements to wean away tho fellows
who like to bo on the winning side.
Tho lower end men were largely in
favor of Raub and against tho slate,
and they introduced a few Fourth dis
trict wrinkles into tho canvass during
tho rocoss. Shortly before tho delo
atos reassembled it was apparent that
the slated candidate for treasurer had
struck the toboggan, and when
became generally known a rush was
made to Raub by those on the fence.
It was after 2.30 o'clock when the
afternoon session was called to order.
Tho nomination of a candidate for
treasurer was the first business.
Attorney A. L. Williams offered tho
name of M. L. Drcisbach, of YVilkos
barre. Attorney E. F. Cooke placed in
nomination Arthur E. I)etro, of Wilkos
barre. Hon. 11. W. Palmer nominated
Philip T. Raub, of Dallas.
A ballot was called and it had not
proceeded far when it was ovidont that
Raub would have plain sailing, and if
there was any doubt, it was dissipated
when tho Third district voted almost
solidly for the Dallas candidate. Ho
also got a surprisingly largo vote in tho
First and Second districts and the
Kuntz men from tho Fourth district
remained with him to a man. The bal
lot resulted in Raub's nomination by the
following vote:
P. T. Raub 170
A. E. Detro 102Rf
M. L. Drcisbach 8
Nominations for commissioners wore
next called and Attorney Clark, of Lu
zerne Borough, placed tho name of A.
D. Ilay, of Lehman, boforo the conven
tion.
Goorge S. Forris, of West Pittston,
named John M. Jones and from tho ap
plause that followed the mention of Mr.
Jones' name it could bo soon that ho
was the choice of tho convention.
T. B. Shaffer, of Forty Fort, sounded
his own war cry. Tho substance of his
remarks was that ho desirod to with
draw in favor of Thomas Smith.
Captain T. C, Parker named Thomas
Smith, of Wilkcsbarre. "Davy" Potts, of
Wilkosbarre, nominated a workingman,
(meaning himself) for commissioner.
Tho delegates spurred Davy on with
cheers and there was tho greatest kind
of an uproar for several minutos. Potts
was finally persuaded to cease his
oratorial bombardment.
A ballot was called and as it proceed
ed it was evident that thero would be a
close race between Hay and Smith,
Jones having everything his own way.
Tho Pittston district, however, gave
Hay a good lead and Smith was unable
to overtake it. Tho result of tho ballot
was tho nomination of Hay and Jones
by the following vote:
J. M. Jones 254
A. D. Hay 101
Thomas Smith 134)^

A Direct Talk With Mothers
About Boys' School Suits!
We have studied the boys' school
suit question from your point of
yiew. We have taken a groat many
mothers into our confidence (perhaps
you wore one) and have asked them
what were the features most desir
able in a boys' school suit.
The gist of opinion is—good wear
ing material, in colors that won't
soil quickly—seams that can't rip—
buttons that can't come oiT —button
holes that won't wear out —double
seated trousers—double knees.
Wo have boys' school suits made
with every one of the above features.
We offer you a perfect suit.
The material we use Is an all
wool cheviot that we guarantee for
its good wearing qualities, llrown
and grey mixtures, also bluo
black, are the colorings.
We invito every mother to come
and see these suits. It will moro than
fulfill your expectations.
