To lie Poll!
This is the time of the year
when the average family is
compelled to expend more
money than at any other sea
son. To prepare for winter
means the purchasing of
numerous necessary articles.
Are you aware that an inspec
tion of our stock will let you
know that we can
Save You Money?
It's "volume" we're looking
for these days, and not our
usual percentage of profit.
The lower we make the price
the quicker you will buy our
goods, and we're figuring on
putting out hereafter twice the
quantity monthly, at half the
usual profits. It will pay us,
and it will pay you, to take
advantage of this proposition.
Quantity and Quality.
We carry as large a stock as
any other general store in the
region and the people tell us
that the quality of most articles
we sell are somewhat better,
and very often somewhat
cheaper, than you receive over
the average counter. Our
butter, eggs and groceries are
always fresh, and all our
goods are reliable.

Hugh Malloy, Prop. Curncr JT: Silt,
Wonder If He
Saw This?
He was immured in tbo durkest dungeon
beneath the eastlo moat.
"It I had a saw, a llle, anything—" he
moaned, as he looked at the solid bars across
the solitary window.
Then a thought struck him. His face
brightened, like a Cripple Creek conflagration.
Kanidly running over his supply of collars,
which had just come from the laundry, he
selected one tltted to his purpose.
Five minutes later the great middle bar of
the window, dexterously severed by the saw
like edge of the laundered collar, fell upart.
He Was Free.
If he had had his collars laundered nt the
Freeland Steam Laundry he would be in jail
yet. Wo have a device for ironing the top
edge of collars and cutrs find return them to
you witli a perfectly smooth edge. Try us.

SECOND WEEK
OF STRIKE
Troops Arrived at McAdoo
This Morning.
Four Regiments of Infantry
and Cavalry and Artillery
in Schuylkill County—Sit
uation Today.
The great strike entered upon its sec
ond week this morning. The miners
have made many gains in the past fow
days among those who continued work
ing after the time set for the strike to
begin, and so far operations have not
been resumed at any mine or shaft in
any of the regions where the men laid
down their tools. All collieries that
were compelled to shut down by lack of
workers are still closed.
The only change in the local situation
Is the closing down of the Sandy Run
collieries this morning. The mine
workers remained at home and the shut
down is complete. There is no decided
change at the collieries in the other sur
rounding towns.
Since our last issue Governor Stone
has ordered troops to Schuylkill county,
and the following are now on duty in
that region: Fourth, Eighth and
Twelfth regiments of infantry, Battery
C and the Governor's troop, all a part
of the National Guard of Pennsylvania.
The majority of the troops are located
in and around Shenandoah. This morn
ing, however, four companies of the
Twelfth regiment were orderd to locate
at McAdoo, and arrived their about 7
o'clock.
G. B. Mark In & Co., Coxe Bros it Co.
and the Lehigh Valley Coal Company
have requested Governor Stone to send
troops to Jeddo, Drifton and Ila/.loton
to protect their property, but, as this
request has not yet been backed by
Sheriff Harvey, tho operators' claim to
state protection has not been granted.
SANDY RUN CLOSED.
Sandy Run mine workers were met on
their way to tho mines Saturday morn
ing by men from tho strikers' ranks and
wore asked to join the movement. With
scarcely an exception the miners agroed
to comply and many offered to return
home then. They wore told, however,
to finish the week and remain at home
this morning.
The men carried out their promises by
remaining home this morning.
A meeting of the employes of Sandy
Run collieries will be hold this evening.
Rev. J. W. BischolT, it is expected, will
address the men.
MEETING AT ECKLEY.
Several of the miners of ICckley at
tended a meeting held in that town yes
torday afternoon. The Eckley men
were requested, and in some instances
ordored, to remain away from the gath
ering. Mine foremen endeavored to
break up tho meeting, but were unsuc
cessful. The speakors pleaded with the
workers at Eckley to join tho strikers'
ranks, and many of those present prom
ised to remain at home this morning.
Tho collieries are working today, but it
i 9 claimed the force is much smaller
than on Saturday.
FATHER MACK'S ADVICE.
At the lato mass at St. Ann's church
yesterday Rev. F. Mack gave advice to
tho members of his congregation. He
explained to them tho rights given to
each individual by the divine, moral
and civil laws and cautioned them to
not transgress these laws he also caution
ed them to remain In their homes,
especially after nightfall, and to avoid
intoxicating drinks.
SHOOTING AT SHENANDOAH.
A sheriff's posse fired on a crowd of
men near Shenandoah Friday afternoon,
killing two persons and wounding seven
others. Sheriff Toole was called to
Shenandoah to surpress the crowds that
threatened mine workers and- colliery
property. At quitting time the sheriff
and a small posse which ho had sum
moned on the ground went to the Indian
Ridge colliery, of tho Reading Company,
to escort the workingmen to thoir

THREE ARRESTED.
Deputies Sent to Jail on the Charge of
Highway Kobbery.
Three of the men who have been 9ent
to Freeland for the alleged purpose of
protecting mine property and miners
from the strikers are under arrest,
charged with the grave crime of high
way robbery. So far the evidence is
against the accused deputies.
The three men are Bert Howard,
Hamilton Farnharm and Robert Shoe
maker, all of Wilkesbarre, where their
families are numbered among the aris
tocracy of that city. They are accused
by Jacob Yoski, a saloon man who
resides at Carbon and Adams street, of
robbing him of $167.
Yoski drove to Highland Saturday
evening to sell beer and collect out
standing bills. He was met by the
guards at the entrance to the town and
notified that no beer could be sold in
Highland. He was permitted, however,
to collect his bills.
When leaving the town ho was asked
by three of tho deputies for a ride to
Freeland. He consented and the four
came to town on his wagon. When
Yoski reached the alley at the rear of
tiis homo the deputies demanded that he
drive them to Joddo. He refused.
Suddenly one of the men grasped him
by tho throat, while his two companions
rifled his pockots, taking all tho money
about his person, which amounted to
$167, and tired two shots in the air.
Tho robbers then took to their heels,
lip Carbon street to Washington, to
Luzerne, then to Centre and to the
Central hotol, where a number of the
deputies are quartered. They were
closely followed by Yoski, and although
it was after 10 o'clock a crowd soon col
lected about the hotel.
Yoski picked out the men at the
hotel and they were taken in charge by
the police. Later on a hearing was
given them before Squire Shoviin, who
committed them to prison in default of
bail.
Sheriff Harvey, who was notified of
thd occurrence, arrived in town, relieved
tho prisoners of their badges and com
missions, and advised that they betaken
to the county jail.
Constable James Welsh, Officer Benj.
Ilontz and Daniel Slattory left at 3
o'clock yesterday morning with the
prisoners for Wilkesbarre.
Tho prisoners socured bail yesterday
and aro free until their case is called by
the court.
This affair naturally creatod a great
deal of excitement in town, and the
people of Freeland, regardless of their
views or sympathies on tho strike ques
tion, are indignant that a gang contain
ing such men should be permitted to
prowl about the vicinity armed with
deadly weapons. The general opinion
of tho class of men who will act as
deputies was always very low, and the
occurrence of Saturday night has gone
a long way in convincing law-abiding
people that the region is infested with
a band of unscrupulous thugs who were
brought here to create trouble.
Trainmen Will Fight.
The Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men has submittod a formal complaint
to United States District Attorney Hol
land, of l'hiladolphia, charging that the
officials of the Reading Railway have
discriminated against certain employes
becauso thoy were members of the
brotherhood. The brotherhood officers
desire a test case made, alloging that
tho action of the railway officials is in
diroct violation of the act of congress of
June, 181)8.
Tho lirst papers of complaint were
Hied last July. Assistant United Statns
District Attornoy Stewart, who has
charge of the matter, requested more
evidence. Additional papers were pro
vided in August. Mr. Stewart says that
ho considors tho evidenco still in
sufficient, but tho case will bo takeu up
in its regular ordor.
Building Is Completed.
On Saturday afternoon the painters
completed their work at tho Municipal
building, and the structure is now ready
to be transferred from Contractor S. Y.
Fredrick to tho borough. No time has
yet boon set for tho formal acceptance
of tho building.
The committee which has charge of
the dedication ceremonies and tho ar
ranging of a suitable program for that
occasion will report on tho matter at
tho next mooting of council. Tho date
to bo chosen will be one about tho
middlo of October.
