DEMOCRATS
IN CONTROL
Political Revolution in Bor
ough and Township.
Complexion of Freeland's
Council and School Board
Radically Changed—Five
Wards Carried.
The Democratic candidates in Free
laud borough won a most notable vic
tory at the polls yesterday. The re
turns from the various wards were as
tounding to those who had failed to note
the signs of a coming upheaval in the
Republican party. So complete was
tho victory that some candidates who
consented to stand only for the purpose
of filling up the Democratic ticket in
up-town wards were swept along by the
irrcsistable tide and landed victors by
handsome majorities.
The result of yesterday's voting shows
that the incoming council will have
eight Democrats and three Republicans,
with a tie vote in the Second ward. Tho
present;council consists of eight Repub
licans and two Democrats. On the next
school board the Democrats will have
eight members, instead of two as at pres
ent, wiiiie the Republicans will have four,
instead of eigiit.
Squire Shovlin, having no opposition,
had a walk-over, only a few scattering
votes being cast against him.
For borough auditor, Bernard Boyle,
o tho Fourth ward, has a majority.
Compared with the vote cast for presi
dent in the borough last fall, which is
published in an adjoining column, the
Democratic victory was the greatest
ever accomplished in Freeland's political
history, as it, gives the winners undis
puted control of both municipal bodies
f>r three years.
In some of the wards the Republicans
captured a few of the minor offices, but
nowhere was a Democrat defeated who
made an active contest.
W. D. Kline, of the Second ward, is
the only Republican office-holder elected
to succeed himself.
Many causes are being assigned today
fur the revolution.
Foster Township.
In Foster the fight was centered on
the school directors, and the Democratic
candidates are victors by handsome ma
jorities. The party has also elected its
two candidates for supervisors.
The contest was one of the most spir
ited the township has ever seen. The
Democrats worked unceasingly from the
evening the nominations were made
until 7 o'clock last night, and when the
polls closed their labor was found to
not have been performed in vain.
In Foster the Democrats are in the
minority, but under good leaders and
by nominating good candidates they
have gained complete control of the
school board, which, after June next,
will consist of six Democrats.
The complete vote for all the offices
on the ticket could not bo obtained in
time for today's issue.
The Vote Elsewhere.
Hazleton elected William Reinhart,
Democrat, for mayor; Henry Walser,
Democrat, for treasurer, and Harvey
Lamont, Republican, for controller.
In Hazle township ail tho Republican
candidates wero elected, excopt Griff
Pritchard for assessor, who was beaten
by tbreo votes.
Tho vote of tho poor district is not yot
known, but it favors tho Republican
candidates.
In Pittston the Democrats elected
Corcoran for mayor by 400 and Joyce for
treasurer by 200 majority. Smith, Re
publican, for assessor, was elected.

Lectures at M. E. Church.
The lecture in the Park M. E. church
last night was by Rev. I. N. Moorhead
ou "Abraham Lincoln." From the open
ing sentence he had the closest attention
of his large audionce. The lecturer
made the people feel that he had master
ed his subject. lie has an elegance and
naturalness of style which is most
charming, and his delivery is of the kind
that takes with tho people. We have
heard few one hundred dollar lectures
that equal this one.
Tonight Rev. C. L. Benscoter, a
veteran of the Civil war, will lecture on
"How We Did in Dixie." Mr. Benscoter
coines highly recommended. The lec
ture abounds in humor and pathos and
the people will have a great treat. No
admission is charged.
A Great Calamity
Recently befell a young lady in St.
Joseph, Mo., who. on account of sickly
falling hair, was obliged to wear a wig.
Her fiancee often remarked what lovely
hair she had, but failed to discover that
it was false until after he had married
her. On account of his disappointment,
he grew less affectionate day by day.
Fearing that her baldness would bring
about a separation, she began using
"Luxura," which completely restored
her hair and retained her loving hus
band. "Luxura" is simply a wonderful
remedy for dandruff, itching 9calp and
falling out of hair; It promotes a luxuri
ant new growth. It is the only reliable
hair restorer ever put on the market.
To prove this, free samples are sent to
all who enclose a 2c. stamp, covering
postage. Full size package sent, post
ago paid, on receipt of SI.OO, accom
panied by a written guarantee. Boston
Drug and Chemical Co., 596 Polham
Building, Boston, Mass.
A powerful engine cannot be run with
a weak boiler, and we can't keep up the
