As announced in the Tribune last week the coal corporations and firms of this vicinity are about ready to place their stores and mine commissaries on a cash basis, to avoid the tax of 25 per cent which the new law of the state says shall be levied upon goods sold by opera tors other than on a cash basis. G. 11. Markle & Co., of Jeddo, are the lirst to make public announcement of the change, and on and after today every article purchased at their big establish ment at Jeddo must bo paid for in cash at the time the purchase is made or delivered. The notice also includes the several commissaries which the firm has estab lished at the various mine entrances. Mine supplies, which are exempted from the 25 per cent tax, will be sold on credit, as heretofore. Everything else, however, can be had only by paying cash. Miners who have been interviewed on the subject are naturally well pleased at the action of Markle & Co. It was ru mored that a test of the constitutional ity of the act would be made by the coal companies, but the compliance with the object of the law by the largest individ ual mining firm of tiio region is taken as a sign that the law will be obeyed by all. Notices similar to the one issued by Marrkle & Co. are expected from other firms and corporations which conduct company stores. If these are not forth coming within a reasonable iengtli of MISCELLAMKOUS ADVERTISEMENTS. IAIN A NCI A L BTATKM ENT of Foster Town- I' ship School District for the year ending J line 11, Hill.

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JULY 15, 1901. time the United Mine Workers will act by seeing that the 25 per cent tax is paid by those who continue such stores. It is reported today that a reduction in prices has been made at Jeddo store, and that hereafter the firm will compote with local business people in securing trade wherever it can be had. County Tax Levy Fixed. The county commissioners have fixed the county valuation for the next three years at $31,327,643. The levy was fixed at 9}4 mills for road, bridge, sinking fund and county purposes. The valua tion returned by the assessors, after corrections and settlement of appeals, is $135,294,501, which is one and one-half million dollars greater than the previous return. The commissioners have taken only one-fourth of the total valuation for tax able purposes. The tax levy, 9U mills, is )4 mill less than the last assessment, this being sufficient owing to the increase in valuation. The levy will bring $275,575. The commissioners can raise $600,000 aO Utional by issuing bonds on the divided valuation. This would make it possible to either erect a new court house or purchase the toll bridges, but it will be impossible to do both at onco. Should both bo demand ed the commissioners will submit the question to a vote of the people to in creaso the county indebtedness. Addressed the Strikers. At the Grand opera bouse hail yester day afternoon addresses were delivered to the strikers of Drifton shops by M. D. Flaherty and John F. Hointns, two national organizers of the American Federation of Labor who of late have been located at Scranton. D. J. Mc- Carthy, Esq., also addressed the men and gave them counsel. There is no change in the attitude of either the men or the company. The strikers realized a good sum from their recent picnic and are prepared to stand the strugglo for several more weeks. On tho other baud the company is badly handicapped by being unable to have its machinery repaired elsewhere. It is rummorod that Coxe Hros. Si Co. aro satisfied to grant the demands of tho men if this can be accomplished without loss of dignity. The Drifton officials aro tired of tho battle, but they do not know how to dismount froiu the high horse they have ridden since the struggle began. Not Satisfied With Road. County Commissioner Hay is not satis tied with the manner in which tho llun lock creek road, which was constructed at the county's expense, has been built and he refuses to joiu with the other commissioners in accepting the job. The contract price was about $7,000 and P. M. Giiiigan was the contractor. Con uiissioner Hay received complaints on the construction of the road by fanners who drive over it and ho refuses to ac cept the work until an investigation is made. The other commissioners claim that the surveyor has certified that Con tractor Giiiigan did more work than the contract called for and tho three arbitrators sent to inspect the road are satisfied with tho job. The matter has been under consideration for some time and yet there is no indication of the three commissioners reaching an agree ment. Mayor May Become Judge. The name of Mayor F. M. Nichols, of Wilkesbarre, is being mentioned by Re publicans as a probable appointee of Governor Stone as an additional law judge In Luzerne county under tho new act giving this county another judge. Frank W. Wheaton is said to bo the first choice of the governor, but Mr. Wheaton has not decided to accept, even if tho place were offered to hi in. The salary of a judge is but $4,000 a year, and as Mr. Wboaton's law practice is worth more than that sum he hesitates about permitting himself to be a candi date for the judgeship. Irish Games on Saturday. The parade, picnic and Irish games on Saturday afternoon and evening, under the auspices of Divisions 6 and 19, A.(). 11., are arousing ranch interest. Contests of skill have not been held in this section for many years and the pro posed revival of athletic sports promises to be successful. At 2 o'clock the two divisions will parade from their hall on Ridge street to the Public park, accom panied by St. Ann's band and two Irish pipers. NOTICK TO THIS PUBLIC. Beginning with Monday, April 15, A. Oswald will close his store at K o'cluck every evening except .Sal unlay s and the general pay iilglitn. A had complexion generally results from inactive liver and bowels. In all such cases, DeWitt's Early Risers pro duce gratifying results. Grover's City drug store. ROUND THE REGION. The United Mine Workers' convention of the First district closed to meet again in Wilkesbarre next January, it being decided to meet semi-annually hereafter. The request of the Seventh district miners that the other districts join them in a movement to curtail the output was discussed. At the afternoon session a gold badge was presented to Fred Dil cher, the retiring national organizer. The Free Hospital for Consumptives, which was to be located in the mountains near White Ilaven, has been marked for veto. The bill appropriates SOO,OOO for the proposed institution, and it will have to go in order that the Gang's $4,000,000 capitol project may not suffer. Upwards of 100,000 letters were written in favor of the passage of this bill.—North Ameri can. Robert Donaughny, who for almost two terms has been Controller Lloyd's chief assistant, was last week removed from office by the latter. While Lloyd made no statement about the cause for the removal it is understood to bo the in gratitude of Mr. Donaughey in fighting the interests of his chief during the recent primaries. Charles Ferguson, the sixty-two-year old man who appeared at his home after being mourned for dead, has disappeared again. Ills wifo cannot understand his peculiar actions. She does not know whether her husband is coming back to her or not. She fears that he was deeply affected by finding that she had married another man. Her second hus band is dead. Solomon Haas, a barber, imagining his wife was unfaithful to him, shot her and hlmsolf at their home in Wilburton, a mining village, near Mt. Carmel. He died instantly. She is still living, but cannot recover, They had quarreled frequently of late. Those famous little pills, DeWltt's Little Early Risers, compel your liver and bowels to do their duty, thus giving you pure rich blood to recuperate your body. Are easy to take. Never a gripe. Grover's City drug store. There Is still no further development in the contest between Joseph I). Lloyd and Arthur Dick for the nomination as controller on the Republican ticket. Chairman Reese Lloyd still declines to make a decision or fix the date for the second convention, which will declare one of the candidates the nominee. Controller Lloyd still insists he Lac] a majority of the votes and is thoroforo the legal candidate of his party. The 000 employes of the Ashley car shop of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, who have been on a strike for nearly two months, are about to open negotiations, it is said, that the strikers are willing to make some concessions if thereby a settlement can be effected. DeWltt's Witch Hazel Salve should be promptly applied to cuts, burns and scalds. It soothes and quickly heels the injured part. There are worthless counterfeits, bo sure to get DeWltt's. Grover's City Drug store. Charles Wilbur, of Luzerne borough, was found dead on a road near Fern brook today. His skull was crushed in and there is a suspicion that he mot with foul play. The body of Corporal Jamos Duddy, who was killed in the volunteer service In the Philippines, has arrived at his home in Minooka. Ice cream soda at Iveiper's. J. Adam Weigand. aged 34 years, a prominent young man of Wilkesbarre, died yesterday afternoon. Ho had many friends in the lower end of tho county. After being deadlocked for two weeks on the choice of a high school principal tho Frackvillo school board has elected William Troutman. Over 200 ballots were taken. It is easier to keep well than get cured. Do Witt's Little Early Risers taken now and then, will always keep your bowels in perfect order. They never gripe but promote an easy gentle action. Grover's City drug store. William Schwartz, a well known resi dent and prominent Republican of Ha zleton, died on Saturday, aged 51 years. Joseph Sassman, aged 08 years, while superintending the rebuilding of Zion Lutheran church, at Tainaqua, yester day, was killed by a heavy piece of timber failing upon him. John JSlivenski has been appointed postmaster at Prtceburg, Lackawanna county. Suicide at White Haven. The body of a man was found hanging to a trco in the woods near White Haven on Saturday. Tho sulcido had removed all his clothing except his stockings, in one of which was found a letter and a cashier's check for S4O on the White Haven bank, drawn in favor of Frank Lorenz. The letter seated that the writer had contemplated suicide for some time, and that he had been suffering from a dis ease for years. LOCAL NOTES WRITTEN UP Short Items of Interest to All Readers. Happenings of the Past Two Days in and Around Freeland Recorded With out Waste of Words. John Birkbeck, one of the few men who have not stopped work at Drlfton shops, was met on South Centre street Saturday evening and given a beating by two men who sympathize with tho strikers. His injuries aro not serious, as he was saved from a severe trouncing by ex-Burgess Gallagher, who thought he was being robbed. The young bear purchased recently from Honeywell's circus by Hugh Malloy was taken at 3 o'clock yesterday morn ing from the lattor's yard and placed in the bar-room of a South Centre street saloon.
