Murderer Placed in Jail.
John Gulick, slayer of his mother and
brother, is now locked in Sunbury jail.
Since tho commission of his crime last
Tuesday morning he has roamed aim
lessly through tho mountains eating
swoot birch during tho day and at night
I going into some town and bogging food
from door to door.
On Saturday night ho wandered to the
old homestead whore he committed the
crime and sought shelter in an out
building. After kindling a lire in the
stove ho sat there all night and was dis
covered yesterday morning. The aged
father wus called and shook bands with
his son, whom he took back into the
very room whore ho had killed his
mother.
The double murderer stood In silence
for a moment, and then sat down at the
breakfast table and parto >k of a hearty
meal. The murder was nt mentioned.
Through with tho meal, lie went up
stairs and changed clothing. In the
meantime a constable arrived and
placed him under arrest.
When tho warrant was read to him he
remarked: "I intended to give myself
up on Monday. I am tired of being
hunted like a dog and being driven from
place to place. I stood on a bill on Fri
day and saw the funeral of my mother
and brother."
Oneida Trouble Settled.
Oneida miners returned to work this
morning, the differences between them
and Coxe Bros, it Co.'s superintendents
having been adjusted by the revokal of
the order compelling tho men to repori
before 0 a. m. in order to be lowered
down the slope.
The determined stand taken by the
locked-out employes attracted the at
tention of persons who have more inter
est in maintaining harmony betwoen
miners and operators than tho clique at
Drifton, aud a curt notice from the an
thracite powers, commanding the com
pany to live up to the spirit and letter
of its posted notices, brought about a
sudden change in the demeanor of the
pompous figure-heads who think thoy
are superintendening Coxe Bros. & Co.'s
coal affairs.
Delegates Elected.
Thomas Gallagher and John Shovlin,
of Freeland, were elected yesterday by
the Young Men's Corps to represent the

annual convention of the Scranton C. T.
A. Union. President John J. McNeils
will also attend the convention In his
official capacity, aud will enter the race
as a candidate for delegate to the
national convention of the union.
Mr. McNelis has been a hard worker
for the cause of temporance for many
years and the Scranton union can make
no better selection to send as its repre
sentative to the national union.
A Disappointing Day.
Eastor Sunday, usually considered the
opening of spring, wa9 wot, cold and
dreary, aud the many Easter bonnets
and new suits, which had been pur
chased with the intention of being
donned for the first time yesterday,
were sadly stored away for a more aus
picious occasion.
In the churches the services were all
well attended, especially at those where

pared.

and Washington streets, who died on
Friday in the Miners' hospital from in
juries alleged to have been received by

ARE YOU A
BUFFALO
Sketch of a Few and Grow
ing Organization.
Membership Embraces Many
Persons of National Repu
tation lnitiation Fee Is
Eleven Cents.
Are you a Buffalo?
Perhaps you haven't heard of the new
order that recently struck this town and
numbers Its members by thrdozens. To
learn the mysteries of this far-famed
order it costs eleven cents —and some
over. This Is how it 19 done:
One of your friends meets you on the
street and' inquires, "Are you a Buffalo?"
Of course you are not, and tell him so.
Then yotir troubles have just begun.
Ho replies, "Well, give me eleven cents,
and I will iuitiate you."
You suspicion a "sell'" at once and
decline, but he assures you it is all
right, and you make the contribution.
Then he prececds to make you a Buf
falo. You are given the grand hailing
sign, and the answer; next comes the
grip; then follows the admonition in
regard to what you do on certain oc
casions. You are next taken into some
place of business and given a practice
lesson. If you have been attentive dur
ing the initiation service, you get along
in shape and see where your eleven
cents goes to, but if you have been
careless and did not observe the in
structions of the Buffalo, you are greet
ed with a general invitation to "Buy,
buy, buy."
There is .nothing else left for you to ,
do but to purchase anything the com
pany wants. After having satisfactori
ly passed this test, you are greeted as a
full-fledged Buffalo, and informed that
you are entitled to the best to be had.
The initiation is on the "quick-lunch"
plan, and it bars no one that is out of
jail or the cemetery, who can raise
eleven cents or more. This is the only
requirement, and it is here that the joke
comes in. For the prospective candi
date seldom has the exact amount, and
tenders anywhere from a quarter to
twenty dollars when asked for his fee,
with the result that he is out just that
amount, being blandly told that "Buffa
loes never give change."
This merry form of hold-up has made
"Buffaloes" out of nine-tenths of the
United States senate, almost all the
lower house, and successfully on no
less than seven governors, one of whom,
Dietrich, of Nebraska, paid 820 to learn
the cardinal principle regarding change.
No less a personage than Vice President
Roosevelt fell a victim to the wiles of
a member desirous of getting square,
and the strenuous-lived Teddy was
buncoed to the extent of 85 on the day
of his inauguration by a Chicago politi
cian who had been previously "buffalo
ed." Andrew Carnegie was caught in
it to the extent of a silver dollar, as was
also John D. Rockafellor, who separated
himself from a quarter to learn the
mystic secret of the order.
Separate Union for Firemen.
The International Brotherhood of Sta
tionary Firemen has decidod that the
firemen employed at the mines are not
compelled to join the United Mine Work
ers, but belong to the Firemen's Union.
Tho union has ordered all who joined
the miners' organization to resign, and
to pay no heed to any attempt of the
miners to get them into their union.
This division pleases tho operators, as
the firemon will not be compelled to
strike with the miners.
A Itoyal Photographer.
The German empress is an exception
ally skillful amateur photographer, and
she has a most Interesting collection of
pictures. The empress takes snap shots
at the court festivities, and she lias se
cured a photograph of the crown prince
when he appeared for the first time on
parade as a full officer of the guards.
Also a Character.
The sliali of Persia is a great cari
caturist. The walls of his private
apartments are covered with plain
white paper, and on this he scribbles
funny pictures whenever the fancy
takes him. When he grows tired of
them, they are washed off or the room
Is repapered.
YQU will waste time if you try to cure
indigestion or dyspepsia by starving
yourself. Thatonlv makes it worse when
you do eat heartily. You always need
plenty of good food propeyly digested.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the result of
years of scientific research for something
that would digest not only some elements
of food but every kind." And it is tho
one remedy that will do It. Uro'ver'S
