STRIKE TALK
ILL ADVISED
Union Leader Says It Is
Without Reason.
Secretary Dempsey, of the
United Mine Workers,
Believes Matters Will Be
Adjusted Amicably,
"I do not think there is any reason
for ail of this talk about another big an
thracite strike," said John T. Dempsey,
of Scranton, last evening. Mr. Demp
sey is secretary of District No. 1, United
Mine Workers of America, which em
braces the Lackawanna and Wyoming
regions. Continuing, Mr. Dempsey said:
"The operators have not said they
will not attend the conference at Hazle
ton in March, and we are hopeful that
they will. If they do, I have not the
slightest doubt but matters will be ad
justed satisfactorily all around."
"All the talk of a strike at this time,
oven in advance of the issuing of the
notices for the conferences, is 111-advised
and unjust to the operators and the
mine workers. No one is desirous of
having a strike."
The feeling among the men grows that
the operators will meet the delegates of
the union in joint conference and that
the employers will agree to maintain
the present scale of wages for another
year.
Since last September the mines have
worked more steadily than ever before.
The men have saved considerable money
In anticipation of possible trouble,
which they earnestly trust will not oc
cur.
The railroads are rushing cars into all
the mines in large quantities, and there
Is no doubt that unless a strike again
results in the spring the coming summer
will be one of great industrial activity
in this section.
No Grave For Murderer.
The trustees of the Ross township
cemetery still refuse to allow the body
of Ralph White to be interred there.
White killed his nephew, and after being
convicted and sentenced he killed him
self. On this ground the trustees base
their refusal. White's sister owns a lot
in the cemetery, and when admission for
the body was refused she engaged an
attorney. He told her to make another
attempt.
She did so yesterday, and the funeral

THEATRICAL.
"Quo Vadis," the great historical play,
was produced at the opera house last
evening before a large and well pleased
■ audience. The play is one ef strong re
' liglous motive and intense dramatic sit
i uation, purity of thought, beauty of
I sentiment and general excellence
throughout and by those who saw the
' production last night it will long be re
membered. It shows Rome In the days
' of Nero when prolifigacy and crime were
' the ruling passions. It shows us Peter
I and the apostles, aged, simple and vener
able, who went to Rome and scattered
the seeds of truth, which changed the
destiny of the entire world. Mr. Aiden
Benedict has provided a strong and
capable company, beautiful scenery, and
[ costumes. Altogether last night's per
formance was one of the best we have
I witnessed in many years.—Danville Sun.

- The production of "In the Heart of

i night by the Edwin Young Dramatic
• Company was highly appreciated by a

and with their company gave one of the
best productions of the play that has
been made here. The specialties intro

- good, especially the sketches by Price
> and Daly aud the feats of strength and
, balancing done by another member of
, the company.—Shenandoah Herald.

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 ho 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 scalp and
falling out of hair; it promotes a luxuri
ant new growth. It is the only reliable
hair restorer ever put on the market.
