FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1901.
Our Newest Industry.
The Salmon Iron Works, the town's
newest industry, is forging ahead at a
rapid pace, and a successful future is
marked out for it. It. F. Salmon, since
assuming the management, is untiring
In his efforts to secure work, aod that
he has succeeded can be attested by a
visit to the plant, where miscellaneous
jobs of various descriptions have almost
crowded out the main article that was
to bo manufactured by tiie company,
namely, the Salmon car wheel and axle.
At present rush work in the line of
the hundred and one articles used about
the breakers of the vicinity is being
turned out. while the brick works at
Pond Creek, the new brewery and other
buildings in town require the attention
of the dozen and a half employes in
manufacturing articles for their use.
Preparations are being made to start
on a large scalo at an early date on the
wheels and axles, the merits of which
our roaders are familiar with, and by
that time the complete success of the
plant will be assured.
Haworth Recognized.
Hon. H. W. Haworth, of town, has
been recognized by the ppwers at Harris
burg in a manner which is giving his
friends a great deal of pleasure. In ad
dition to securing the appointment of a
townsman as transcribing clerk, the
only appointment Luzerne county receiv
ed, he has been chosen chairman of tho
committee on counties and townships.
As the now county bill is to be again ,
introduced in the legislature, his ap
pointment as chairman of the com- <
mittee means that its passage will be
aided by those who control legislation.
Representative Haworth has also
been appointed as a member of the
committees on appropriations, mines
and mining, congressional apportion
ment and elections. For a new member
this is a record which has been seldom
surpassed.
Scale Committee.
The anthracite miners have secured
representation on the scale committee
of the United Mine Workers. At the
session of the national convention in
Indianapolis yesterday a resolution to
add six members from the anthracite
region to the scale committee was offer
ed, and President Mitchell named the
following: William X. Martin and
Harrison Heslop, of District No. 9;
Henry Collins and William Mates, of
District No. 1; J. C. Gallagher and
Condy O'Donnell, of District No. 7.
Those additional members met with
the general scale committee last even
ing. Tho committee invited the anthra
cite members to submit their scalo
recommendations in writing, and from
these the committee will compile its re
port.
Married Last Evening.
George B. Seiwell and Miss Mame
Jones, both of town, were married last
evening at 8 o'clock at the homo of the
bride's mother on North Ridge street.
The ceremony, which was performed by
Rev. J. B. Kerschner, was witnessed by
a number of friends of tho contracting
parties, and was followed by a wedding
supper. Many handsome presents were
received.
Mr. and Mrs. Seiwell will begin house
keeping in the near future on North
Ridge street.
Died This Morning
Timothy O'Donnell died at 8 o'clock
this morning at the resldenco of his
sister, Mrs. Peter O'Donnell, Coxe addi
tion, after an Illness of one week.
The deceased is survived by a wife and
two children, also by a brother, Patrick
O'Donnell, of Drifton.
The funeral will take place on Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence
of Peter O'Donnell. Interment at St.
Ann's cemetery.

Notice to Taxpayers.
A penalty of 5 per cent will be added
to all taxes remaining unpaid after
Wednesday, January 30, 1901. This
date Is three days beyond the limit

tion of time can be granted to de
linquents. Hugh Malloy,
Tax Collector Freeland Borough.
When threatened by pneumonia or
any other lung trouble, prompt relief
is necessary, as it is dangerous to delay.
Wo would suggest that One Minute
Cough Cure be taken as soon as indica
tions of having taken cold are noticed.
It cures quickly and its early use
prevents consumption. Gfbver s City
Drug store.
Second Ward Politics.
There li a movement on foot among
tha Republican voters in the Second
ward to obey the call for a caucus issued
by their borough chairman and to nomi
nate another ticket instead of the one
chosen last week. The indignation
aroused by turning down School Direc
tors Kline and Krommes by tho people
who had control of the meeting on Sat
urday evening is being felt In the ward,
and the sentiment that the work of
these directors entitles them to renoml
natlon is spreading among their con
stituents.
Some of the men nominated for offi
ces last week are steadfast in the claim
that they were legally selected, and
they refuse to sanction another caucus.
It is certain that the meeting called by
the borough chairman will bo largely
attended by the ward voters, and that,
it is claimed, moans a ticket different
from the one now in the field.
Anthracite Coal Shipped.
The official statement of anthracite
coal shipped during 1900 shows that
45,107.484 tons were moved, as against
47,665,204 in the previous year.

"The American Girl."
One of the dramatic successes of the
present season is H. Gratt&n Donnelly's
now comedy-drama, "Tho Amorican
Girl." Mr. Donnelly's latest effort Is a
departure from conventional lines, Inas
much as it is a bright vigorous and
dramatic play, without the aid of any
sensational clap-trap scenic effects.
The story has a strong hoarl interest as
well as comedy. Tha company is one of
unusual strength, headed by George F.
Hall, who has a personality that cannot
be overlooked. His humor Is so infec
tious, and so apparently genuine that
his Importance in the cast Increases
with each act. The author has furnish
ed two unusually good children parts
which are played by little Daisy Statnpe
and little Grade Russell.

the new county campaign. The ineot-
Ing will be well attended, as the mem
bers of the bar In the lower end aro now
unanimous In favor of a new county.
Several of the drivers employed by

weeks and the grievance has boen pre
sented to the flrm for Its consideration.
