POLITICAL
The present promises to be one of the
quietest February campaigns the town
has had in several years. The Republi
cans, having no candidate for justice of
the peace, which is the principal office to
be filled, are not disposed to take much
interest in the general result. In the
wards the Democrats are unassailable
in the Fifth and Sixth, while the Repub
licans have majorities in the others.
Under the circumstances the voters will
likely be spared the annoyance which
has been given them in previous local
campaigns.
Charles C. Boczkowskl, who was given
the empty honor of a Republican nomi
nation for justice of the peace and who
could not have his name printed on the
ballot because the convention was held
too late, announced himself on Saturday
as an independent candidate for the
office, but has since reconsidered the
matter and has withdrawn.
Stanley Albright, one of the Republi
can nominees for council in tho Sixth
ward, states that his name was placed
on the ticket without his consent and
that be is still a Democrat.

Vice president—Frank McDonald.

Organization of Clerks.
The clerks of Freeland and vicinity
perfected an organization yesterday
afternoon at the Grand opera house hall. |
Officers were chosen and the new union
starts out with a good membership and
with prospects of increasing in strength.
The promoters believe that with the aid
of an organization such as they have
formed that their hours of service can
be shortened and their positions made
more satisfactory than at present.
This season there is a large death rate
among children from croup and lung
troubles. Prompt action will save the
little ones from these terrible diseases.

instant relief as One Minute Cough Cure.

TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice of a Fttuioun Phynlcian.
First and foremost, REST.
Take care of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest, and must
have It. If the attack is severe, go to
bed and remain there. More fatalities
result from neglect of this precaution
than from any other cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive organs
are in no condition to take care of large
quantities of food.
Drink plenty of pure, cold water. It
allays the fever, stimulates the kidneys
to action and opens up the pores of the
skin. Keep tho bowels open with Dr.
Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three dose 9 of Dr. Miles' Nervine
per day, and If you cannotsleep take an
extra dose at bedtime. To further con
trol the fever, and to overcome tho pe
culiar aches and pains of the grip, use
Dr. Miles' Pain Pills. They act quickly
and effectually, and no bad effects result
from their use. These remedies have
been thoroughly tested more than a
million times, and their efficiency is
thoroughly established. They never
fail to give relief.
Dr. Miles' Remedies can be found at
any drug store, and they are sold 011 a
positive guarantee that flrst bottle or
package beobiJtS Or money refunded.
ROUND THE REGION.
At the bedside of his dying mother,
whotn he had nursed for seven months,
John Dinan, a soldier, was arrested at
Wilkesbarre, placed in irons, and sent
to Fort Slocum to stand trial as a desert
er. Dinan, soon after joining the
regular army last June, learned of his
mother's serious illness, and asked for
a discharge. He received no reply, and
therefore deserted last October. Since
his desertion Dinan has nursed his
mother, and the physicians say she has
suffered a severe relapse since the ar
rest.
Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect to livelong, because they
can not eat the food required to nourish
the body and the products of the undi
gested foods they do eat poison the
blood. It. is important to cure indiges
tion as soon as possible, and the best
method of doing this is to use the pre
paration known as Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. It digests what you eat and re
stores all the digestive organ* to perfect
health. Grover's City drug store.
Edward Snell, of Weatherly, who
took part in the recent Chinese cam
paign, has been honorably discharged
from the service and returned houie

was married to Miss Ella Flannagan,

engaged before he enlisted iu the
marines five years ago.
Prosecuting Attorney Charles L. De-
VVaele, who has passed the three-score

Nervine was what cured him.
Paymaster Bernstein, of the Temple
Coal and Iron Company, wounded John
Dougherty with a revolver bullet, be
cause, it is alleged, the latter tried to
break into the office of the Harry E.
colliery, after having been refused pay
which was not yet due.
Pepsin preparations often fall to re
lieve indigestion because they can di
gest only albuminous foods. There is
one preparation that digests all elasses
of food, and that is Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. It cures the worst cases of in
digestion and gives instant relief, for it
digests what you eat. Grover's City
drug store.
William McGarvoy, Thomas Burns,
James Early and James Gallagher, of
Beaver Meadow, who struck at Evans 1
colliery last fall and who, it is alleged,
interfered with workmen, were fined
$25 on Saturday by the Carbon county
court, ordered to pay the costs of the
suit and spend three months in jail.
