VOL XV. NO. 100 Stop a Moment! There is only one thing in a Rub ber Boot or Shoe that has any wearing qualities, and that is Rub ber. There is absolutely no wear in any of the other ingredients. There is only one way to reduce the cost, and that is to take out rubber and put in its place other things in which there is no wearing quality whatever. v Every time the quality of a Rub ber Boot or Shoe is reduced 10 per cent, its durability is reduced over 20 per cent. It is the falsest kind of false economy to buy anything but the purest Rubbers. Buckskin Rub ber Boots and Shoes cost but little more than other kinds, and are sold by JOHN SHIGO, 141 South Centre Street. /JUAB. OIUUN BTKOH, ATTORNEY AND COUNSELOR AT LAW and NOTARY PUBLIC.

Heavy iSlump in Democratic Wards Responsible for the Result—Foster Town ship Goes Republican. The Republicans won the honors in Freeland borough yesterday, electing' William E. Martin, candidate for bur gess, by 78 majority, Anthony Rude wick for tax collector by 07 and George 11. Hartuian for auditor by 124. The Republican candidates for poor district offices also swept the town, Campbell having a majority of 100, White 111 and Bleckley 127. The vote as cast in each ward is published in another column. The total vote polled in the borough was 1,010, which Is 25 less than was cast at the preceding election for bur gess and tax collector. Somo of the wards fell off heavily, while others In creased slightly. TV.see years ago the four Republican wards gave Drasher, for burgess. 104 majority, and Kline, for tax collector. 108 majority. The same wards yester day gave Martin, for burgess, 151 over his opponent, and Rudewick, for tax collector. 153 majority. In the two Dein tcratic wards. In 1900, Boyle, for burgess, led by 235 votes, and Malloy, for tax collector, by 194 These wards yesterday gave Oberrender, for burgess, 73 majority, and McNeils, for tax collector, 8(5 majority. The above brief analysis of the vote proves conclusively that the Republican victory was not due to any gains in the wards where the party Is dominant, but, that they won because the Democratic wards failed to respond to expectations The slump in the Democratic vote In the Fifth and Sixth wards is said to be due to the capture by the Republicans of the Slavish and Polish voters In the districts named, which, with lukewarm Interest shown by workers who were heretofore active in fighting the party's battle, cut heavily into the Democratic vote. In the Second and Fourth wards Republican couocllinen were elected to seats which will bo vacated by Republi cans. The Third ward elected a Republican school director to succeed an outgoing Republican. The Fifth and Sixth wards returned Democratic school directors to take the place of men of the same party, and the new councilman from the Fifth will succeed a Democrat. The result was received very quietly and without any demonstration on the part of the Republicans. However, the "I-told-you-so" fellow was around today. The present political complexion of the council is eight Democrats and four Republicans, and that of the school board is the same. When the candl dates-elect take their seats there will be no change In the number on either side. When Mr. Martin assumes the duties of the office to which he was chosen yes terday, he will be the first Republican to fill the position of burgess of Freeland since 1891, when John M. Powell was elected. His remarkable achievement of attaining an honor which so many of his party vainly endeavored to secure Is a mutter which Is giving his friends much reason for congratulations. castor 1A For Infants and Children.

The only Democrat who was successful was Jus tice of tho Peace M. P. Campbell, who was chosen to succeed himself. The Republicans nominated only one candi date for tho two vacancies, and this accounts for Mr. Campbell's election. The Tribune gives the vote of every township candidate, by districts, In its table in another column. The vote for poor district offices is not complete, three districts having failed to make returns to this office. Hazle Township. The voters of Hazle township elected tho Democratic candidates by large majorities, with the exception of Dough erty, for school director, who was de feated by Robert Baskin, of Drifton. A heavy vote was polled throughout the township. The Socialists, who had a complete ticket In the field, received less than 100 votes and were not a factor in the Contest. The Poor District. Incomplete returns from the various districts of the Middle Coal Field Poor District indicate jthe re-election of Di rectors Campbell and White and Auditor Bleckley by very large majorities. Mr. Bleckley received a handsome com plimentary vote in Freeland, and Mr. Campbell received the largest majority given yesterday to any Republican can didate in this borough. Coal Strike Report.

TK I-WEEKLY McMENAMIN'S South Centre Street DO YOU STOP TO SIFT The wheat from the chaff, the good from the bad, the truth from the false? You read some mighty nice stories in the papers nowadays of big reductions, but when you examine facts back of the words you are more than likely to find promises which the makers cannot fulfill and would not if they could. For our part we would rather shut up our store and be idle than give anybody the right to say of it: "That store is not as careful of its reputation as it used to be." Re putation is the bread and butter of this business, and is worth more to us than the few paltry dollars an end of the season's sale brings, if conducted under false pretenses. The middle of the winter finds us with quite an assortment of sea sonable goods, including Rubber Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, Gloves, Extra Heavy Underwear, Heavy Hosiery, and other articles designed for wear during this weather. These we have reduced in price— not to less than half their cost—but to a figure which will pleasingly surprise the buyer. In Winter Neckwear, Collars, Cuffs, Men's Dress and Working Shoes, Women's and Children's Shoes, Gents' Furnishings, etc., our lines are very complete and the stock is of that same high-grade which you always found in our store. We are pleased to quote you prices and have you examine the goods at any time. Do not forget that a child can buy here as cheap ly and to as good advantage as the adult.
