By order of 1t HENRY KOCH, R. S. THE PLAIN SPEAKER, HAZLETON, MARCH 30, 1905. 5 HEAT RECORDS WERE BROKEN THIS WEEK No Such Warm March Temperature In 35 Years' History of Weather Bureau. In the 35 years' history of the Weather Bureau there has been no such warm March 29 as yesterday.

The maximum exceeded the previous record for March, that of Tuesday, by about two degrees. The record which Tuesday broke was that of 76.6, on March 22, 1894. The month that comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb may, therefore, in its frisk age, be said to have taken: a hop, skip and jump, and clearing April and May, landed in the lap of June, for the maximum of yesterday is usually experienced on June 5, and is, accordingly, two months ahead of the season in average. High temperatures were experienced through the North Atlantic and lower lake states. At Scranton the thermometer jumped to 84, at Cleveland to 80, and at Pittsburg to 82, all recordbreakers.

At Atlantic City and Cape May the maximum readings were 60 and 62 degrees respectively, about 18 degrees lower than here. While overcoats and jackets have been shucked for the past few days, they are hardly as yet "has beens" of the season, for the forecast prophesies: "Showers, probably thunderstorms, and cooler Thursday; Friday fair." Poor Board Affairs. The last meeting of the old poor board wag held at Laurytown this week. Tax Collectors James N. Boyle, of Foster township; Anthony Rudewick, Freeland, and Thomas Martin, Hazle township, presented their duplicates and received a settlement in full.

Richard Hall, of Stockton, who so cruelly deserted his four children some months ago, was present to re-claim the little ones. He promised faithfully to care for them, and on this condition was given charge of them on sixty days' probation. J. A. Titman, representing the Herring Hall Mervine Safe explained the merits of his safe.

The board decided not to make a purchase at this time. The directors ordered a new gas I carbonator to replace the one now in use, which is too small. There are at present 186 inmates in the institution. This number will be materially reduced with the advent of warm weather. The board will meet on Saturday for re-organization, when J.

M. Stauffer will take his seat. Steward Gangwer and his wife will be retained beyond a doubt. The aspirants for the taryship are Mr. Tosh, the present incumbent, and John Isaacs, who fills a position in the Drifton office of Coxe Bros.

Blondell Fennessy, proprietors of the famous farce-comedy, "The Katzenjammer Kids," which comes to the Grand Opera House Friday, have the only canine advance agent in America. He is beyond question one of the finest specimens of his kind. His dogship has been taught to carry a banner in his teeth advertising the show, and is apparently never so happy as when parading the streets announcng the coming of the greatest of all fun shows. The ever popular William H. West's Big Minstrel Jubilee will hold forth at the Grand Opera House Saturday afternoon and evening, and it is promised by the management that this season they have gathered most of the best known minstrel stars on the stage.

The attracton is receiving the endorsement of the press everywhere. Most amusing is the first act of "Diplomacy," to be given by the Rose Coghlan company at the Grand Opera House on Wednesday, April 5, in which the Marquise de Rio Zares, a proud Spanish noblewoman, finds herself so pressed by creditors that she literally does not know which way to turn. The Marquise is a typical match making mamma. Her chief as set in life is a very beautiful, honest and warm hearted daughter. Friday night Lafayette concert, High School.

We pray that the great Judge of all the earth will give them peace and strength to lighten their burden and ease their sorrow. Resolved, That the life of our brother was an open book to all and contained that perfection as a lawyer, citizen, man and friend that is most worthy of imitation on the part of those left to survive him; Resolved, That in his death the Bar of Hazleton has lost one of its most honored practitioners and Hazleton and her interests one of her most foremost leaders and advocates.

His unbending honesty, integrity and devotion to public and private duty through a quarter of a century's service have impressed us so fully that we realize that his place will indeed be hard to fill. Resolved, That the members of the Bar of lower Luzerne county attend the funeral in a body. Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the widow and be printed in the press of Hazleton.

tr PROSPECTS GOOD FOR HUCKLEBERRY TRADE Dealers Look Ahead To Successful Season--Hazleton Centre Of Belt. A local huckleberry shipper said today that the outlook for the coming season indicated that the crop would be larger than ever before. The market, too, will be extended, so that there will be no over-supply of the luscious berries. The early spring is accepted by the dealers as a good sign for a large crop. The fact that especial pains will be taken to prevent forest fires this summer also tends to support the expectations that 1905 will be a banner year for the pickers and shippers of the little blue berries that find their way every summer into hundreds of thousands of homes scattered all over the eastern section of the United States.

The territory lying between Mahanoy City and the Pocono Mountains is the true hucklebrry belt of the United States. Beyond Mahanoy City, to the south as far as Mt. Carmel, there is a certain yield every summer, but it cannot compare with the enormous quantity of berries that is brought in from the woods hereabouts. The Pocono field is practically undeveloped, and it is said to be the richest section of the huckleberry belt. The region is inaccessible for many pickers, and for that reason the Pocono Mountain berries do not reach the market in any great numbers.

There is one tract of berry woods in the Poconos that is literally covered with the little blue globules. It is said that if a person stands at the edge of this tract and looks over it in the midsummer it appears to be covered by a blanket of bluish color, so thick are the berries. One picker from this section who spent several weeks on the Poconos declares that the path of a person through this Elysian field of huckleberries would be marked, not by his footsteps, but by the trail left wherever he gathered berries. George Wetterau, a Hazleton huckleberry dealer, owns a tract of land in the Pocono region and one season he tried the experiment of employing a band of huckleberry pickers to camp in that section for the season. The venture did not prove a success, the pickers were of a kind who did not like the loneliness of nature and they returned to civilization before they had picked any great amount of berries.

Smoke a Buster Brown cigar. 28-tf A Big East Broad Street Real Estate Deal. George Krick, the National Exchange real estate dealer, has just closed a deal whereby he sold what 1s known as the Pardee flour and feed mill, on the corner of Broad and Pine streets, containing 100 feet frontage on Broad street, for Frank Pardee, to Thomas R. Reese, of Audenried, who is operating a coal washery there, and is in the livery business in this city. Mr.

Reese intends carrying on extensive business operations on this property. In fact, the building which is there now will stay where it is- excepting it will get a general overhauling and will look like a new building when Mr. Reese gets through with the same. This property was valued at $20,000. Now Mr.

Krick has some more properties to sell on Broad street. He also has the large, commodious Miller properties on the corner of Wyoming and Walnut streets to sell, which can be bought for less than you can build them; also some very handsome homes on Diamond Avenue, and the Liebensberger properties, which are new houses, with every convenience, some of which can be bought on easy terms. If you want to buy a bargain in a house, lot or farm Krick always has the selection. If you have property you want to sell you better call on Krick. It may be just the property which he has a demand for.

It costs you nothing to call at his office and talk about these things. Better come right now. What you do today you will not need complete tomorrow. At Keiser's Removal Sale. All $1.25 books reduced to $1.10.
