FREELAND, PA., DECEMBER3I,I9O2 BBBED SOLD FOR TAXES. Sales >lade on Monday by tlie County of Many Tracts of Land. The commissioners' sale of seated and unseated lands at the county seat on Monday attracted several hundred speculators. In the 1,200 pieces adver tised for sale there was a "bargain" for evory person who wished to take the chances of being able to prove title to his purchase. The prevailing price was $1 per tract, although occasionally a higher figure was commanded. The un seated lands were sold first and in this batch was almost half of Buck town ship, in which section of the county land appears to be cheaper than cobble stones. Some of the bids were ridicul ously low, considering tho number of acres purchased. Some of the purchasers and their pur- \ chases were as follows: Albert Lewis, 150 acros in Bear Creek township, price 91. George J. Llewellyn, 200 acres in Buck township, sl. William 11. Bines, 307 acres in Buck township, $7.50. D. L. O'Noil, 320 acres in Buck towu ship, $3. Frank T. MeCormick, 550 acre 9in Black Creek township, $8 50. G. L. Ilalsey, 400 acres in Denison township, sl. I). L. O'Neill, 300 acres In Foster township, 91. In the list of seated lands were about 1,000 lots scattered throughout the county, many of them being Improved with houses and outbuildings. Except in a few cases all these brought on an average of $1 apiece. The Wilkesbarre Record says that not one in tweuty-five of the properties sold is of any value. In some cases there has been a double assessment and in other cases the land Is either value less or it is impossible to socure a clear title. Many of the tracts are sold regularly at every commissioners' sale, each time some person unfamiliar with the location and history of the land picking up a "bargain." At the close of business last evening it was estimated that about 9500 had been received by the county, which will not cover one-lifth of the expense con nected with the sale of lauds. It co9t the county 82.400 to advertise the sale in Iho Freeland Progress, Shlckshinny Echo and Luzerne County Express. Many of the tracts are bought in by the same parties at every salo, it being cheaper to continue to hold them in tills manner than to pay the taxes. It would cost tho owners considerable money to keep the taxes paid on them, while buying them In at commissioners' sale they can get thoui for $1 and get out of the payment of a large amount of taxes. Cure for Typhoid Fever. Lemon juice, it is claimed, will cure typhoid fever The Chicago Health Department makes this announcement with emphasis and says that repeitcd experiments have proved Its truth. Several days ago Dr. Asa Ferguson, a London physician, said the same thing and tho Chicago Health Department at once set about investigating the matter. One teaspoonful of lemon juico was was placed in half a glassful of water containing typhoid gerins and this was done repeatedly for three days. In every instance the germs were killed. Too Cruel. "Yes, Miss Searenyellough's poodle died yesterday. It was awfully pa thetic. She kissed it good by." "Kissed it, eh? Well—er—was that before or after the doctors had aban doned hope?"— Baltimore News. Wliyf "Mamma," said little Willie gravely after a visit to Mrs. Cosmetic, whose nose looked as if it had just come out of the flour barrel, "why doesn't that lady use smokeless powder?" New Yorker.
