Forttar 1)1 rector* Find It a Difficult Question to Agree Upon. A special mooting of Foster township school board was held Wednesday even ing with all members present. The president announced that the purpose ( the meeting was to take action on he length of the term and to transact any other business that might be orought beforo the board. A motion by Messrs.

Scott and Foeloy, map and chart agents, were present, but no pur chases in their lines wore made. Praising the Play. Copies of Buffalo papers received at the Tribune office show that Mildred Holland is breaking every previous theatrical record this week In that city. Never before In tho history of Buffalo have such audiences turned out to wit uoss any play as are seeing "The Bower Behind the Throne" at the Teclt theater. The newspapers of that city devote an average of a column a day to the play, and if only one-half of what is said were true and there is no cause to doubt any of it. the theatre-goers of Freeland will see one oT the grandest productions ever placed on the American stage. The fact that s4f>o is to be paid to have Mil dred Holland and her company appear here is In itself a guarantee that the play Is rar above anything heretofore booked at the Grand. Wedd.ng indefinitely Postponed. A wedding which was to have taken place at Plymouth yesterday afternoon was postponed indefinitely because the bride ran away before her bridal dress was placed upon her back. At th moment sho convinced herself she could not marry tho man she did not love. The bride-to-be was Miss Mary Herman and she was to have wedded John Hora bad who, with his groomsman and friends, arrived at the house only to lind that the girl had fled a few minutes before. Miss Herman's parents suspected that she had gone to .lames Kuchnik, a young man whose attentions they had discouraged and whom they had for- You will waste time if you try to cure Indigestion or dyspepsia by starving yourself.

She refused and said she would marry no one but Kuchnik, whom she loved, and that under no circumstances would she marry Horabad, whom she did not love. Kucknik, too, defied them to take her. and said he would never give her up The girl's father thereupon had Kuch nik arrested for abduction, as the girl is under age. The unfortunate lover was taken away by the police and the girl was hurried home. She would not. however, marry Horabad and he went away with his friends. Kuchnik is out on bail and Horabad is wondering what to dp with the furniture he has bought. To Push Mining Bills. President T. D. Nichols and Secre tary-Treasurer John T. Deinpsey, of District No. 1, United Mine Workers, accompanied by John P. Kearney, of Archbald, and Henry Collins, of Carbon dale. forming the district judiciary com mittee, left Scranton 011 Wednesday for Harrisburg, where they will endeavor to further the passage of several mining bills. Among the measures in question are those providing for the weighing of coal .and fixing a legal ton at 2,240 pounds, providing for a check weighing, for the election of mine inspectors, and another dealing with mine accidents. This last one stipulates that a medicine chest must be stationed at the foot of each shaft, furnished with all the necessary appliances for keeping injured miners alive until medical aid can bo secured. Early Closing a Success. The early closing movement has been tried two evenings, and from all indica tions it is a success. Both the mer chants and their clerks appear to enjoy the change from the previous long hours. The closing movement has been ob served by practically all tho houses which it is intended to embrace. Not withstanding the notoriety given the change, and the fact that tho clerks distributed thousands of handbills and cards announcing when it would go into effect, many of the stores had callers for goods on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The promoters of the movement are confident that shorter hours will hence forth be the rule in Freeland, instead of the exception, as heretofore. "Faust" at the Grand. Grecnsburg (Ind.) Daily Review. That Porter J. White and his excel lent company at the Grand opera house last night in the beautiful and chaste production of "Faust," pleased our people beyond their most sanguioe ex pectations there can be 110 doubt when it is known that at the conclusion of the fifth act the applause was so great and prolonged that Mr. White was com pelled to come before the curtain and make a short but pleasing address to tbe audience. He is supported by the ideal actress, Miss Olgo Verne, who plays the character of the pure Inno cent Marguerite in a most charming manner. The electrical and scenic effects wore the finest over placed on the stage at the Grand opera house. Candidate for Recorder. In sporting parlance Sheriff James G. Harvey has shied his castor into the ring, and has announced himself as a candidate on the Republican ticket for the recordorship. Sheriff Harvey has made a beau ideal county official and has added to tho number of his many friends during his present career. He will make a hot run during the coming primaries and if selected ho will make a strong candidate for bis party ticket. Under the law a sheriff cannot succeed himself, but Mr. Harvey's friends think he deserves another term as an official and have determined to push his claims among the Republican voters. No More Lead Nickels. The manufacture of load nickels in this vicinity Is said to have to come to an end. These "slugs," as they aro termed, were used to boat tho various slot machines of town, but eventually they began to appear In commercial channels. Tho bogus coins arc fair imitations of genuine nickols and many I are passing daily through business houses without attracting attention. Two young men suspected of being ' implicated in the unauthorized coinage have been discharged from Drifton shops, and since then no more bright "slugs" have come out of the slot ma chinos.
