ASK FOR VELVET ICE GREAM IT'S PURE L1CAN LI Entered Hay 22nd, 1880. at Monongahela, aa Second Class Matter. Under the Act of Conprrcue. March 3rd. 1879 SIXTY-NINTH YEAR-NO.

127 MONONGAHELA, TUESDAY. OCTOBER 19, 1915 ONE CENT DAI 1 1 i i ran County ass Meetir any Names Greeted by Splendid Audience Summary Conviction Appealed Are Withdrawn From Ticket To-night to Plan For Hallowe'en Yesterday was the last day for filing of withdrawals on the part of any of candidates for district or county offices named at the primaries on September 21. Withdrawal certificates were filed with the county commissioners by all the men who were given the vote of the Washington party in the recent primary election. This will eliminate a county ticket for the Washington'party, unless the Washington party committee filli the vacancies, which is not considered at all probable. In the precincts where there are no local tickets named by the Washington party, the names of that party will not appear on the ballet; but there are some 79 precincts in the county where nominations have been made on this ticket.

Candidates for local and precinct offices have until Thursday, 12 days prior to the election, to file their withdrawals with the county commissioners. The first number of the lecture course to be held in the chapel of the Presbyterian church this winter, was held last evening at the church when William Rainey Bennett, the famous lecturer appeared, giving his well known lecture on "The Master Thought." The chapel of the church was filled and a splendid audience turned out considering the bad weather. The first of the course proved a brilliant success and the out look for a very fine course is quite promising. Mr. Bennett opened the Chautauqua here last summer and he needed little introduction.

His lecture laBt evening was a masterpiece and he held the closest attention of his audience at all times. Throughout his lecture there were sparks of humor that kept the audience livened at all times. He closed with a dramatic climax giving an illustration of "the fight with an octopus" the eight armed Jcreature representing sin. It was a fitting ending to a great lecture. The next number on the course will be Friday evening November 19th when the famous Smith-Spring Holmes Orchestral Quintet will be the attraction.

Two Weeks Until Election Two weeks from today the election will occur. As yet there has been very little stir locally in politics. The great est interest will center in the election of the Mayor and one Councilman, three members of that body, Messrs Crall Downer and Blythe virtually being elected at the primaries. The fight for the other berth on the council makeup will be between W. T.

Gregg, R. Byers, Frank R. Colvin, E. S. McCul lough and Harry T.

Zimmer. In the county contest it is likely that an exceedingly large vote will be given all the Republican candidates. While there may have been some sore spots as the outcome of the recent primary, yet these have all disappeared, and each one of the dissatisfied ones will cast their lot with the Republicans. The county ticket is a good one, was fairly nominated and is affiliated with no clique or faction and deserves the confidence and support of every Republican. Andrew Dodard Andrew Dodard aged 24 years, single, died yesterday at his home at Hazelkirk.

Funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from St. Domi nicks' church in Donora with interment in St. Dominicks' cemetery. Dodard was a Lithuanian and his parents reside in the old country. In a hearing before Judge J.

A. Mc-Ilvaine yesterday, an appeal from summary conviction, some unusual facts are involved. The defendant and appellant is Charles S. Richards, a traveling salesman residing in Pittsburgh. The action grows out of Mr.

Richards being taken from the train by a P. R. R. officer, following his alleged refusal to tell the conductor of the train, Joseph Smith, where be was going and to explain about his ticket. Mr.

Richards' story is that he boarded the train at Bellevernon, that just as he sat down he gave the conductor his ticket, and later when approached by the conductor and asked where he was going he refused to tell as the conductor had the ticket. When Mr. Richards refused to state where he was going or give any explanation, an officer, who was on the train was called. Mr. Richards refuspd to tell the officer where he was going.

When the train reached Monongahela Richards was taken from the train, haled before Alderman Wiper and then allowed to go free pending a hearing. Later he was given a hearing on a charge of dis orderly conduct and fined. In his testimony he intimated that the conductor and himself had had trouble before and that he avoided that train if possible. On the other hand Conductor Smith claimed he did not know the man. He said be approached him, as he did other passengers, in the regular course of his duties as conductor and said "Tickets please." He said the man whom he now knows as Richards kept on reading bis paper, paid no attention to him.

He again asked for the ticket. The man made no re sponse, it was tnen ne asKea Kicnaras where he was going. Richards at once became angry, refused to say where he was going, where he got on, or whether he had given the conductor his cket. The court has not yet given its deci sion. Donora Man Paroled John Wickert, employed by the Pitts burgh Railways at Donora, admitted he had taken $15 from his employer.

The company, it was stated by the dis. trict attorney, had said it did not want to imprison the young man, but was willing that he be paroled. He has paid back the money taken. He took the money, it appears, because he was hard up. He has a wife and twin babies depending upon him for support.

James McCallister is moving with his family from Rices Landing to Second street. Mr. McCallister has taken a position as electrician in the Donora mills. Monongahela will have an old time Hallowe'en celebration and active steps will be taken at a mass meeting of citizens at city ball tonight at 7:30 o'clock, to make the affair one of the biggest in the history of these affairs. Mayor Isler ha9 granted the use of the streets for the affair and has suggested that the parade be held on Monday evening, November 1.

It is likely that this date will be selected, aa it would then, in no way, interfere with the Saturday rush of business men, and would allow them to take an active part in the festivities. Every citizen is urged to be present at the meeting tonight and help push the affair to a successful end. Committees will be appointed and the judges for the many contests will likely be named. The Bentley Feature Tomorrow The famous ol story, Meredith Nicholson's greatest novel "The House of a Thousand Candles" will be the feature picture at the Bentley theatre tomor row.
