Freeland people, in common with the
nation at large, mourn the untimely
death of President McKinloy and keen
ly feel thu loss which the country has
sustained. While the end was not
wholly unexpected, the news that he
had passed away cast a gloom over the
town on Saturday, and after the lirst
shock had been overcome there was a
feeling among all classes of people that
Freeland should act in paying to the
dead president the homage and respect
to which his position entitled him.
The authorities of the borough,
believing it their duty to lead in a move
ment designed to give public expres
sion to the grief occasioned by the as
sassination of the country's executive,
have promptly acted, and it is expected
that they will receive the cordial and
united support of all people of town in
conducting such exercises as may be
agreed upon.
At a special meeting of the borough
council on Saturday evening, called to
take action upon the death of President
McKiniey, it was decided to have
memorial exercises, consisting of a pro
cession and addresses on Thursday, the
day chosen for the interment of the late
president at Canton, Ohio. A committee
to make such arrangements as may bo
necessary was appointed.
A committee was also chosen to pre
pare resolutions on the death of the
president. The resolution committee
was instructed to insert a request to all
business people and employers of labor to
closo their establishments and work
shops on Thursday.
Chief Burgess Boyle was authorized to
lake ciiarge of the memorial exercises,
and, witli the assistance of the com
mittee of arrangements, to prepare a
suitable program for the day.
At the same time the members of the
Republican League of Freeland were in
session in the P. (>. S. of A. building.
The meeting was called to take action
on the president's death. It was de
cided to appoint a committee to work in
conjunction with any other committees
which may be appointed to arrange
memorial exercises.
As a result, a public meeting will be
hold at the Municipal building this
evening. All the people of town are re
quested to be present to assist in out
lining an appropriate program for
Thursday.
The borough council will meet in
special session tomorrow evening to con

mittees.

Club and the Young American Social !
Club are draped very artistically. Flags

subject of sermons in several local

some timely reference was made.'
Hand Probably Wins.
A message from Wllkesbarre this !
afternoon says that Hand was chosen j
as the Republican nominee on Saturday i
for orphans' court judge by 200 votes
over Nicholls. Several districts have i
not yet reported and the oHicial count '
will be necessary to decide.
In F reel and a very light vote was
polled. Following is the result by
wards:
Iw 2w 3w 4w 5w Ow T't'l
Troutman ..30 14 ft 30 4 11 10.';
Nicholls 5 5 0 30 30 6 85
Hand 1 1 0 11 11 0 30
The vote here was a surprise to the '
local leaders, as Nicholls was not con
sidered a factor in the race until late j
Saturday afternoon. The large vote !
given to the mayor of Wilkcsbarre was
due principally to the hustling of
Thomas Elliott and a few others who
espoused his cause.
Met After Many Years.
After being parted twenty years John :
and Steve Pierson, of Wilkosbarre,
found their brother in a remarkable
manner. John, who is a tnoterman,
was running a car out of the city when
a tramp jumped on, said he had no
money and begged a ride to the next i
town. His accent caused the motoruian
to ask if he was a Swede. He said he !
was and that his name was Frank
Pierson. The car man said his was •
Pierson, too.
Questions flew between them and they ;
discovered they were brothers. Hardly
had they done so, when Steve Pierson, '
another brother, jumped on the car.
There was a very happy reunion. The
brothers parted in Nebraska twenty j
years ago, when their parents died and
had not seen or heard from each other j
since.
