Judge Lynch has handed down an
important opinion in the case of Archi
tect A. 11. Kipp against County Con
troller Lloyd. Kipp is one of the archi
tects who submitted competitive plans
for the proposed new court house.
The agreement was that the five best
plans next to the one accepted should
be awarded S3OO each. Kipp's was one
of these five. The plan of F. J. Ostcr
ling, of Pittsburg, was accepted, but as
the court house ho planned has not
been accepted, and he has not been
paid. Controller Lloyd refused to cash
the order of the county commissioners
for the five prize plans, on the ground
that nothing was due them until Oster
llng was paid. Judge Lynch decided
in favor of Kipp.

slight injury to his log. Mr. Smith was
brought to the hospital yesterday after

found that he has a contused back and
a fractured leg. At midnight his condi

James' Episcopal chapel have organized

Ladies Society. The purpose of the

Another Swindler About.
A slick swindler, traveling under an
assumed name, has been operating
in nearby counties. He visits farms and
asks for a glass of water. He then asks
if any are sick, telling them that he is
invested with healing power. He says
a few incantations and then asks the
privilege of going to a private room to
pray. In every instance where ho has
been given this privilege ho has carried
away tho most valuable articles in the
room. Several farmers are now mourn
ing the loss of gold spectacles, silver
ware, etc. He gives his name as Hart
man.
Local opera-goers need have no fear
but that the company which will appear
here tonight in "Flnnlgan's Ball" Is tho
genuine New York city cast. They left
the Metropolis theatre on Monday, and
after appearing here will show at Maha
noy City and Hazleton and next Monday
will open in Brooklyn. The "Ball" is
highly endorsed by tho newspapers of
Reading, whore it appeared Monday.
Jacob Zweipigglesteinstopper is the
name of a foreigner who has recently

said: "Good morning, I vas glad to see

THE POLITICAL WORLD.
LOCAL HAPPENINGS IN THE GREAT
NATIONAL GAME.
Foster Republicans Have Named Their
Ticket and Both Sides Are Now at
Work —Borough Delegate Klectlons on
Saturday Evening—Other Notes.
Fostor township Republican delegates
met at Woodslde school house Monday
evening. George Fear was chosen per
manent chairman and George Thomas
permanent secretary. The following
ticket was nominated without opposi
tion:
Tax collector—Abe Genu, Eckley,
School directors—Philip Xlrlor, Drif
ton, and Edmund Williams, Sandy Run,
three years; Harry Argust, Upper Le
high, one year.
Supervisors—Charles Cuxo, Highland:
Samuel Miller, East Foster.
Clerk—John Thomas, Hazle Brook.
Treasurer—Joseph Roberts, Coxo ad
dition.
Auditor—William Stoker, Upper Le
high.
The Democrats and Republicans of
the borough will hold their delegate
election on Saturday evening. As there
are few, if any, contests for offices on
either side, It Is not likely that tho
voters will experience any difficulty in
getting their votes Into tho proper
boxes. On Monday evening tho Repub
licans will make their borough nomina
tions at the Cottage hall and the
Democrats will follow on Tuesday even
ing.
It Is taken for granted that Stephen
Drasher will hoad tho local ticket for
burgess on the Republican side and that
Daniel Kline will be that party's
nominee for tax collector. Their re
spective opponents, it appears, will be
John F. Royle for burgoss and Hugh
Malloy for tax collector. All four can
didates know something about local
politics, hence an interesting campaign
may be expected.
Both parties having inado their nomi
nations in Foster township, tho battle
for votes is on. Tho Democrats are a
unit this year and havo strong hopes
of winning. They have the ndvantago
in having some shrewd politicians on
the ticket—men who know evory votor
in the townshi|i—and furthermore they
know tho weak spots among thoir op
ponents.
Tho committeemen from the contral
division of the middle coal Held poor
district on Monday named Wilson S.
Campbell, of Mauch Chunk, for poor
director, and Albert H. Bleckley, of
Freeland, for poor auditor.
Erasmus Snyder lias not withdrawn
as a candidate for tax collector in Fos
ter. Some Industrious "political liar"
Is circulating this story throughout tho
township.
At thoir convention Monday night
the Republicans of Hazleton decided to
adopt the Crawford county system of
conducting the primaries.
Hazle township Democrats will nomi
nate their ticket at Harmony hall,
Hazleton, next Tuesday evening.
William Reinhart and John H. Jacobs
havo been nominated for school directors
by Hazleton Democrats.
The Democratic poor district conven
tion wilt be held on Monday afternoon
at Mauch Chunk.
Enoch Arrien of I'ennMylvania.
News of the death of Randall Scott,
a newspapor compositor, reached Sha
mokin on Monday, the young man
having been killed last Friday by a
train in Florida. Five years ago he
was married in Wicomisco, Dauphin
county, to Miss Erma Williams, and a
year later Scott went away. Mrs.
Scott then made hor home with her
parents at Wllllamstown. Tlirep or
four weeks after her husband's depart
ure she received word that he had been
killed. At first she doubted the report,
but as the months and years passed
without any word from him, Mrs. Scott
at last concluded it was true Last
Juno she married Harry Fritche, of
Shamokin.
Soon after this Randall Scott visited
that town. Finding that his wife had
married again and was happy, Scott
went away. When Mrs. Fritche heard
of his death she was overcome with
grief.

THIRTY DAYS CHANGE-STOCK SALE. J
We are still holding to our well-known policy and rule that i:{
goods shall not be carried over their season. We do not conduct f
any special January sales, selling out sales, half-price sales and so y.
on. But we are conducting our annual Change-Stock Sale, with f
the object of selling off all goods of this season in order to prepare f:
ourselves for the next climatic change. January invariably brings :•
sales of cheap clothing marked a little cheaper; sales of goodness !;■
knows how-old clothing; sales of clothing purposely bought for !j
such sales; sales of clothing of questionable value when offered at (,j
any price; bargains in their way, perhaps, but not worthy to be |
COMPARED WITH SENIE'S GOODS. ;!
It is needless to an nounce that any statement made by us is accepted as a fact bij )'
the general public. M'e have steadily advanced in prestige since our j!
coming here, and our name today is a sufficient guarantee j!
to every buyer in our territory of whatever we pro- j!
claim. We support our assertion by j!
making this offer to patrons: j!
If, after buying at our store, you find that you can obtain better values else- jj
where, return your purchase to us and we will promptly refund your money. ji
