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. VOTE OF FOSTER TOWNSHIP. aMHßHtgfas >-3 a NAMES 5 £ £• S ro §ss= S OP a o' T K; D ? rd & * E 5;3"5 c f • : f CANDIDATES. ; 3 ; g. ; 5 ?

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.
