1,032, gain of 1,274; Sugarloaf township.
1,500, loss of 384; White Haven borough.
1,517, loss of 117.
The figures of Freeland are the same
as previously announced, 5,254, a gain
of 3.724 over 1890, divided as follows
among the five wards which existed
when the census was taken:
First ward 820
Second ward 830
Third ward 500
Fourth ward 999
South ward 2,039
The claim repeatedly made by the
Tribune that the South ward was being
treated unfairly by having no more rep
resentation on the school board and
council than the small up-town wards is
proven by the census. This Injustice
has been partially rectified since by
dividing the South ward and forming
the Fifth and Sixth.
KILLED TODAY.
Patrick Gallagher, of Freeland, Meets a
Sudden Death in the Mines.
Patrick Gallagher, employed as an
engineer on one of the air-motors in
No. 5 colliery, Jeddo, was killed In
stantly shortly before noon today.
With a train of ears behind the motor,
he was coming down one of the "runs"
In the mines at a rapid pace. In some
unknown manner the motor left the
track and plunged sidewise against the
rib of the gangway, crushing Gallagher
between the motor and the side. Death
was instantaneous.
What caused the motor to leave the
track has not yet been ascertained, but
It is thought that some part of the ma
chinery became deranged.
At 1 o'clock the remains were brought
to Freeland and taken to the home of
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Denis Galla
gher, corner of Adams and Carbon
streets.
The deceased was aged 22 years and
was a respected young man. He was a
member of the Good Wills Athletic As
sociation and Local Union, No. 1499,
United Mine Workers. Besides his
parents, ho is survived by four brothers
and one sister.
No time has yet been set for the
funeral.
Russell Uhl Acquitted
The case of Russell Uhl, charged with
selling oleomargarine for butter, came
to a close in court on Saturday after
noon with a verdict of not guilty. The
State Food and Dairy Commission was
the prosecutor. Ex-Judge Davis made
a two-hour argument In favor of the
defense.
He said that one of the provisions of
the Pennsylvania statute on the subject
made the act nonsensical, inasmuch as
It was intended only to regulate the sale
of oleo, yet practically prohibited its
manufacture by preventing Its makers
from using coloring Ingredients and any
thing not contained in the genuine dairy
product. There was no standard color
of butter until oleo was manufactured,
and now the dairy product Is being sup
plied with the coloring ingredients used
and originally made and paid for by the
oleomargarine manufacturers.
Judge Ferris sent the case to the jury
with binding instructions to return a
verdict of not guilty.
Death of Young Man.
Frank Ward, of Hazle Brook, a well
known young man of that town, died
yesterday from pneumonia after less
than one week's illness. He was 16
years of age and a son of Mrs. Owen
Ward, who died suddenly a few weeks
ago. The young man is survived by the
following brothers and sisters: Mrs.
Patrick O'Donnell, Highland; Mrs. Pat
rick Craig, Philadelphia; James, Nanti
coke, and Misses Mary, Kate, Nellie
and Condy, John, Patrick, William and
Bernard, Hazle Brook.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
morning. A requiem mass will be read
at St. Ann's church and the remains
will bo Interred in St. Ann's cemetery.
Mine Workers' Ball
The ball given by Local Union, No.
1499, United Mine Workers, on Friday
evening, was a success in every respect.
The attendance was largo and a pleas
ant evening was spent by all who were
present. The grand march was partici
pated In by over 100 couples, and was
led by Master of Coremonies John M.
Gallagher and wife, of Ridge street, as
sisted by Sheriff James G. Harvey and
Miss Annie Welsh.

THEATRICAL
The Reading Telegraph, of the sth
Inst., says: "The hit of the town last
night was 'llogan's Alloy' at the Bijou.
The show was a laugh from start to
finish. 'Hogan's Alley' Is full of strong
specialties and everything Is new and
bright. The principal comedian, Joe
Kearney, late of the 'Belleof New York'
company, deserves praise for his work
as Mr. Ilogan. The balance of the com
pany Is up to the standard. A chorus
of pretty women in handsome costumes
helps to make the show a success."
At the Grand opera house on Friday
evening.

"Lessons From a Great Life" Is the
title of a lecture which Dr. Waylaud
Hoyt, of Philadelphia, will deliver at
the Grand opera house under the aus
pices of the Mining and Mechanical In
stitute on the evening of Washington's
birthday.

"Quo Vadls," the book, has been
translated into all languages Trom the
original Polish, and has been read by
many millions, who have pronounced It
as one of the classics of the nineteenth
century. The wonderful popularity of
the book insures the success of the
dramatic adaptation of It, which will
soon be presented for the first time in
Freeland. So successful has Mr. Chase
been in dramatizing this work, that the
actors are described as breathing ex
ponents of the wonderful types of
character just as great Sienkiewicz drew
them in his immortal masterpiece. It is
a play satisfying alike to player and
auditor, not only because it entertains
and Instructs, but because it uplifts and
edifies. Aiden Benedict has provided a
most excellent company, beautiful and
appropriate scenery and wardrobe and a
first class performance can be looked for.
BREVITIES.
The church people of Ashley, headed
by the llev. liorvin Custer, have opened
war on the saloons of the town. Nine
hotel and saloonkoepers were arrested
Saturday afternoon charged with violat
ing the liquor laws. The defendants
were given a preliminary hearing before
Burgess Thomas, who withheld his de
cision until today.
For the weakness and prostration fol
lowing grippe there is nothing so prompt
and effective as One Minute Cough Cure.
This preparation is highly endorsed as
an unfailing romedy for all throat and
lung troubles and its early use prevents
consumption. It was made to cure
quickly. Grovor's City drug store.
Prosecuting Attorney Charles L. De-
Waele, who has passed the three-score
milestone, bad a time with the grip; but
when seen at his homo in Roscommon,
Mich., the other day, he said Dr. Miles'
Nervine was what cured him.
Thomas Hurst was found frozen to
death yesterday morning at Hazleton.
He started home about midnight and
when near his house fell exhausted.
Hurst was a famous pigeon shooter.
The Lattimer strike will probably be
settled by Wednesday or Thursday of
this week.
Reports show a greatly increased
death rate from throat and lung troubles,
due to the prevalence of croup, pneu
monia and grippe. We advise the use
of One Minute Cough Cure In all of these
difficulties. It is the only harmless
remedy that gives immediate results.
Children like it. Grover's City drug
store.
"I had grip three months; could not
sleep; pain all over and headache very
bad. Dr. Miles' Nervine, Pain Pills and
Liver Pills made me well."—Mrs. E. C.
Bowlby, Waterloo, Ind.
Foster Politics-
The quiet campaign in Freeland bor
ough has led thoso of this section who
take an interest in political matters to
look elsewhere for excitement, and In
Foster township they find an old-fashion
ed contest going on. The Democrats,
while in the minority on party issues,
went Into the campaign in earnest this
year.
Their first stop was to nominate a
ticket which commanded the respect of
the voters of all parties. This, coming
after a mistake made by their opponents
in turning down some worthy Republi
cans, brought them support from un
expected quarters, and at the present
time the race between the two tickets is
neck and neck.
The Democrats In every polling dis
trict are receiving the open support
and assistance of several Republicans,
and their lines appear to be invincible.
On the other hand, the factional fights
among the Republicans aro disrupting
the township organization, and to this
is added dark rumors of treachery which
cause the various candidates to eye one
another most suspiciously.
The township contest for supremacy
is an interesting one and will continue
to attract attention from the many
people of town whoso thirst for excite
ment cannot be gratillud by the listless
c'dn tests In the borough,

TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice of a Famous Physician. .
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
insult from neglect of this precaution
than from any other cause.
Kat sparingly. Your digostivo organs
aro 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 the bowels open with Dr.
Miles' Nerve and Diver Pills.
Take three doses of Dr. Miles' Nervine
per day, and If you cannot sleep take an
extra dose at bedtime. To further con
trol the fever, and to overcome the 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 on a
positive guarantee that first bottle or
pacltago benefits or money rdfirntleß.
