Movement Started to En force the Passage of Bills by the State Legislature— Fahey at Its Head. Plans are afoot for the descent upon Harrlsburg of an army of anthracite coal miners to demand legislation In their Interest at the hands of the reluct ant senate. John Fahey, national organizer and president of District No. 9, United Mine Workers of America, arrived at Harrls burg yesterday for the avowed purpose of serving notice on the leaders of the Quay machine that unless tbo demands of the miners are met they will make a personal show of force that will compel attention. Fahey's plans is to organize an army of not less than 10,000 men, assembling them at Pottsville or some other avail able point, and marching them to Ilarrisburg as Coxny's army marched to Washington. Unlike Coxey's horde of nondescript adventurers, however, this army would be composed of the citizens who carry the elections in the great anthracite coal counties. Fahey says his army could be mobi lized in twenty-four hours. He spent part of the day in inspecting available sites for a camp. He insists that the plan will be carried out unless the senate leaders agree to put through the miners' bills recently adopted bv the house and since held up in senate com mittees. These bills provide for the abolition of company stores, by taxing them out of existence; for tho weighing of coal before it Is screened, so that the miner shall be paid for all the coal ho digs; for the election of mine inspectors by tho people of their districts, instead of ap pointment by the governor, and for in creasing the number of inspectors from eight to sixteen. Fahey's presence was directly due to the discovery by Representative Darner, of Schuylkill, that the senate committee, which recently gave tho miners' repre sentatives a hearing, had subsequently decided to report the bills out with negative recommendations. The milling people demand the passage of these bills in return for their part in sending Quay members to this legisla ture from their counties. They are thoroughly convinced now that the machine leaders never intended to make good their promises. Accordingly they have determined to apply heroic methods. Closed the Season With tho presentation of "The Power llehlnd the Throne" at the Grand opera house Wednesday evening the regular season of 1900-1901 came to a close In Fraeland. It is doubtful if a better select! m could have beon made from tho hundreds of companies on the road than the one headed by Miss Mildred Holland, as the performance uridoubtudly gave more general satisfaction than any drama over before played In the town. The attendance was not what it should bave beon, but those who ac cepted the management's guarantee that they ..would see a plav the peer of auythlng heretofore producod in Free land found this statement verified In every particular. The company Is composed of rocognlz od artists, and while Miss Holland was naturally the centre of attraction she did not have a inonuply of the talent on the stage, for evory member of the cast was equal to bis or her opportunity. Tbu play, consequently, was given in a manner which deserved the unstinted "I have been sulfering from dyspepsia for tile past twenty years and have boon unable after trying all preparations and lOiysiclans to get any relief. After taking one bottle of kodol Dyspepsia Cure I found relief and am now in better health than I have been for tweritv years. I can not praise Kodol Dyspep sia Cure too highly." Thus writes Mrs. G. W. Roberts, North Creek, Ark. Glover's City Drug Store. POLITICAL ANNOUNCKMENT. jqXM ~ ~ JAMES G. HARVEY, of Hazluton. Subject to the decision of the Republican primaries ol ru/.cnm county.

' FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1901. applause and the curtain calls brought forth by the high standard of actiug. The scenic feature of the production was a revelation to even those who are accustomed to seeing heavily-staged plays In the large cities. This was especially true of the third act, which showed an Austrian court ball-room, with its massive arches, hanging balcony and broad staircase. The season oponed on September 11, 1900, and since then thirty-seven per formances were given under the manage ment of the bouse. In addition to these, fourteen dramas, entertainments, etc., were given at the Grand by other parties. Compared with the previous season there were thirty less attractions presented by the management, but not withstanding this decrease in the num ber of shows the season jost ended was financially more profitable than Its pre decessor, as larger audiences and higher prices prevailed this year. "Way Down East," on December 11, drew the largest house, numerically and financially, in the history of the town, 1.309 people paying admission to attend and the receipts amounting to (.360.35. Troubles of Churches. A bill ID equity has been tiled Id court by Rev. Dominick Pcruzzi against a nuipber of persons, asking that the defendants be restrained from Interfer ing with the plaintlfT in the performance of his duties. Rev. Peruzzi, the plain tiff, 19 the pastor of the Hazleton Italian church. He clairasHhat on last Sunday, while performing his duties as priest, he was interfered with and prevented from discharging his duties and holding of re ligious service by tho violent action of the defendants, by locking the doors of the church, throwing people out of the building and threatening and terrorizing the people. A strange story in connection with the First Congregational church, of West Pittston, was brought to light yesterday by the arrest of Harry Jones, one of Its leading members, on the charge of misappropriating the moneys of tho church entrusted to his care. Wien arrested he admitted his guilt arid said that he had spent all the money. He was held under bail. Rev. R. G. Heal, the pastor of the church, says that in ten years enough money has been raised to pay off the debt three times over, but that it has been misap propriated by officials. Assessment Transcripts. Revised transcripts of their rial estate assessments are being received by the property owners of town. The new figures, as a rule, show a decrease from those which appeared on the transcripts sent out in March. The rates now fixed upon for the various sections of the borough are more satisfactory than before, but compared with actual values are still very unequal—some lots being assessed at their full market value and others as low as 40 per cent of their selling price. Tho usual discriminations on property valuations are apparent—homes worth from SI.OOO down being assessed at from 80 to 100 per cent of their cost, while many more valuable buildings escape with a rating of from 30 to 00 por cent of their value. Sent to Reformatory. George Mtnsif, Jr., aged 11 years, and George Fatula. aged 19 yoars, young boys residing at Eckley, who were com mitted to jail a few wocks ago by Squire Buckley, were taken Into court on Wed nesday afternoon. Tho boys had their ambitions fired by tho lurid descriptions in certain yellow-covered books of Indian fighting and graphic word pictures of the life of adventurers on the plains and concluded to leave the quiet precincts of Eckley. Before leaving each boy secur ed a revolver and a knife and then stole $54 belonging to George Menslf, father of one of the boys. When called for trial the boys pleaded guilty and, as their parents stated they wore beyond control, Judge Halsey sentenced them to the Huntingdon Reformatory. Commissioners Appointed.
