FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1902. FERRY CARRIES THE DISTRICT Democrats Win the Honors in the County. They Elect Treasurer, Two Commissioners and Three Representatives—Register in Doubt—Congress Lost. A message to the Tribune from the Wllkesbarro Evening Leader at 3.45 o'clock this afternoon gives the follow ing election results In the county; Pattison leads hv over 3,000. Palmer, Republican, is re-elected to congress by a large majority. Moore, Democrat, is chosen treasurer. The result for register of wills Is in doubt, with Holtnan leading. Finn, Schappert and Smith are elect ed county commissioners. Boyle and Davis are thousands ahead for mine inspectors. LEGISLATIVE RESULTS. In the First legislature district Hon. George J. Uartman, Republican, has been re-elected by a majority of 525. In the Second district ouly half the districts were heard from. They show that Ross. Republican, will win. In the Third district Flanigan, Demo crat, leads by 250. In the Fourth district Ferry, Demo crat. is elected by about 190 majority. Edward J Burke, Democrat, has been re elected in the Fifth district. In the Sixth district the result is in favor of liolcomb, Republican. Yesterday was an Ideal day for those who depended upon fair weather to elect their candidates. The day was all that could be desired, and it seemed more like the month of May than Nov ember. There was every reason to ex pect a largo vote in town and country districts, but only at a few polls was the general average for an off-year exceeded. In the country districts there was con siderable apathy and only a light vote was polled. During the early hours of the day It looked as though there would be an ex ceptionally light vote, but towards even ing the voters began to turn out and after the business places and shops closed the election boards were kept busy. It was apparent after the polls had been open a few hours that there would be considerable cutting, both parties Indulging In this business freely. The reports received at noon Indicated that the Democratic ticket was running well thoughout the county and this spurred on the workers to make a good showing In their respective dis tricts. All the candidates showed exceptional strength In their home districts. This coupled with the cutting so prevalent in most of the districts made counting a tedious task and the returns came In slowly. Another element that made guessing hazardous was the figure cut by the Socialists. In some of tho min ing districts their candidates polled more votes than the candidates of the old party, but as a whole tho new party movement proved a fizzle. Unusual interest was manifested In the candidates for mine Inspectors and In most of the districts party affiliations were cast to the winds. Some of tho strongest Republican districts In tho county were carried by P. M. Boyle, a Democrat. The legislative contest In tho six dis tricts of tho county upset all calcula tions. Tho Republicans on Monday felt reasonably sure of carrying four of the six districts. In Freeland the vote given to the Socialists by former Democrats gave tho town to tho Republicans. P. M. Boyle, for mine inspector, polled an un expectedly large vote here. In the tabulated report published to day the vote of Freeland borough Is a copy of the official returns. Those from the other districts wore received from various sources, but In the main are correct. i,iorni vote in ArunnnnN. Little Hock, Ark., Nov. s.—Less than P0 per cent of the normal vote was polled in the election for congressmen in Arkansas. All the seven Democrutlc nominees were elected by majorities ranging from 8,000 to 8,000. In six dis tricts there were Republican nominees. In some places the negro voters re mained away from the polls. Deadlock In Delnwnre, Wilmington, Del.. Nov. s.—The com plete election of the next Delaware general assembly Is in doubt. It Is ap parent that a deadlock on the United States senatorial vacancies will be the result, as was the case two years ago. Hcpulilicnn Governor of Idnho. Boise, Ida., Nov. s.—Scattered returns received indicate the election of Mor rison (Rep.) for governor over Hunt (Dein.) by a small plurality. The Re publicans also claim to have elected a majority of the legislative candidates. LAUBACH'S VIENNA BAKERY. B. C. LAU3ACH, Prop. Choice Drend of All Kinds, Cakes, and Pas try, Dully.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the / / ft/! stf 2 Signature of WHAT MINERS WANT. Mitchell Reiterates Demands Made at the Sbamokln Convention. The statement of the anthracite mine workers case, which was filed with the 9trike commission on Sunday night, has been made public. Copies of the state ment have been furnished to tho oper ators, who will reply in three or four days. The miners' statement, signed by President Mitchell, Is as follows: "The mine workers make of the oper ators the following demands, which wore formulated by the Sbamokln convention held March 18 to 24, and for the enforce ment of which the strike was inaugurat ed. "First.—An Increase of 20 per cent upon the prices paid during the year 1901 to employes performing contract or piece work. "Second.—A reduction of 20 per cent in hours of labor without any reduction of earnlugs for all employes paid by tho hour, day or week. The second de mand Is similar to the first in that it is designed to increase the hourly rate of wages of mine workers employed by the hour, day or week. "Third.—The adoption of a system by which coal shall bo weighed and paid for by weight wherever practicable; tho minimum rate per ton to be 60 cents for a legal ton of 2,240 pounds; tho dif ferentials now existing at the various mines to be maintained. "Fourth.—The Incorporation In an agreement betweon tho United Mine Workers of America and tho anthracite coal companies of the wages which shall be paid and tho conditions of employ ment which shall obtain, together with satisfactory methods for the adjustment of grievances which may arise from time to time to the end that strikes and lockouts may be unnecessary." Each demand is followed by longtby reasons supporting tho claim. Although yesterday was election day the strike commissioners continued their Investigations so that they could finish tbelr tour of the mining region as soon as possible. Tho commissioners left Hazleton early in the morning for Shamokln, where John Fahy, president of the United Mine Workers of District 9, boarded the special train and accom panied the arbitrators through that territory. The day was spent In visit ing the mines In and about Shamokln. Farewell Party. A farewell party was tendered Mis 9 Bella Brogan at her home In Drlfton last evening.

All chances of success for the Repub lican candidates In Schuylkill county were nearly swept away by a curious incidentyesterday. Thoelectfon officers of the Fifth ward of Pottsvillo, the ban ner Republlclan district of the couifty, made a bonfire of what they thought to be last year's ballots. Tho ballots des troyed proved to be those Intended for yesterday's use. The incident occured while the vot ing was going on, and not a single ballot was available. The printers were unable to furnish any uiore and the situation looked desperate. The county commissioners finally succeeded In se curing small supplies froYn other districts sufficient to furnish every voter with a ballot. BREVITIES. Jame9 Boyle, aged 23 years, of Wilkes barre, was caught by a heavy fall of top coal in a mine in that city Monday night and crushed to death. It took ten men several hours to remove the fall and recover the body. Mr. Boyle had lived In Philadelphia since the strike and Monday night was his first in the mine slnco early last May. Vlncenzo De Paoto, of Lattlmer, an Italian, met death in Lattlmer stripping yesterday morning.

The blood was formerly regarded an the life-giving principle and to its con dition was attributed all that there was of health or Illness. Now. physiologists know that nerve force and vitality arc the same, and that tho constitution, good or bad, depends upon nerve force. Nerve force controls all motion, sen sation, digestion and nutrition. An abundance of this subtle energy means health and vigor; a lack of it causes general debility, nervous prostration, prematuro decline, disease and death. Nerve force is chiefly generated in tho brain, and therefore in tho treatment of all lingering diseases tho condition of the brain centers should be carefully considered and treated. One great cause of diseases becoming chronic is that physicians overlook tho fact that deficiency of nerve force is the chief cause of most diseases. Nervous pros tration is duo to lack of nerve force. Dr. Miles' Neuropathic Treatments strengthen and Invigorate tho nerve centers. They aro the result of twenty five years' careful study, extensive re search and remarkable success. Thoy build up tho system by increasing nerve force, and havo won for Dr. Miles the thanks of thousands of sufferers. Mrs. A. Kronek of Huntington, Ind., was cured after thirty physicians failed; Mrs. Flora Gractor of Ilrlstolville, O, after twenty-two; Jas. R. Wuite, tho noted actor, after a scorn had pronounced him incurable; Mis. Frank Smith of Chicago, after live leading physic ians had given her up; Mrs. Julius Keister of Chicago, after ten; Mrs. U. I'arker after six teeii failed. The treatments are not generally ad vertised, but every chronic sufferer is invited to write for Dr. Miles free book and Examination Chart. $4.00 worth of treatment especially prepared for each case will bo sent free as a trial. Address, Dr. Franklin Miles, 203 to 211 State street, Chicago, 111. Mention Freeland Tribune in Your Iteply. MISCELLANEOUS ADVERTISEMENTS. ORPHANS' COURT SALE! Estate of Jonathan Roberts, Deceased.
