The Snyder family In Drlfton, where seven cases of scarlet fever existed, are getting along nicely and all of the afllicted ones -will soon be well. Miss Rebecca Gallagher, of Drlfton, and trained nurses employed by Mrs. E. B. were In continuous attendance in this home, since the very critical condition of the Inmates became known to Mrs.

Coxe. Both young ladies are entitled to much credit In the case, as two of the Snyder children were in the very Jaws of death when they took charge. The expenses for nurse3, medicine and supplies In the Snyder home, which amount to over $500 are defrayed by Mrs. Coxe. Thi3 single item expended on one family in a single month may give'our readers an approximate Idea of the enormous amount expended by that good lady for charitable purposes.

It is doubtful whether the head of the afllicted family could earn this amount in one year. Vote for W. S. Lelb, the people's choice for poor director. 14-3t Before the Burgess.

Alexander Allen, of Drlfton, was found by Officer Mollock lying in the snow at a late hour on Saturday evening and taken to police headquarters. He was fined $7.50 by the burgess. He paid the amount and was released. Schwabe Is Still Judfje. The Freland politicians had anoth er bout in open court at the county seat on Saturday when Attorney Kline asked the court to oust George Schwabe from his position as Judge of election In the Third Ward of this borough.

Mr. Schwabe was appointed by the court one year ago to succeed William Ashman who had moved out of the ward. Attorney Kline alleged that the signatures to the petition presented to court at that time were fraudulent and asked that Mr. Schwabe be removed and some competent citizen of the district appointed In his stead. C.

F. McHugh, city attorney of Wilkes-Barre, appeared for Mr. Schwabe. He said the effort to upset the election machinery of this borough on the eve of election was only part of a grand political scheme conceived by a little coterie of discredited politicians In Freeland men who were repudiated at the polls sought to use the court to obtain the power which the voters denied to them. When the caustic city attorney finished his remarks the Representative boom of Attorney Kline had materially decreased In volume.

The court acquiesced to Mr. Mcllugh'i view of the affair and denied the motion and round No. 2 was given to the Democrats by the official referee. Vote for T. A.

Buckley for Justice. On the Eve of Battle. This Is the eve of election and great interest Is manifested In both borough and township contests. The politicians are unusually active In the last hours of the campaign and tomorrow's contest will be stubbornly fought In many districts. In Foster a hot fight Is being waged and both sides are claiming that the result of tomorrow's battle will be favorable to their side.

The disinterested politicians who understand the political conditions In the township claim that this Is a Democratic year and that the whole ticket will be elected. Tbe Republican leaders admit that the result will be close but claim that their ticket will pull through. Io the borougb. the chief Interest will centre In the close wards where school directors and members of Council are to be elected, and a hoi contest will be waged until the polls clone on Tuesday evening. The Kline coup by whlch It was sought to overthrow the present regime by legal process, has aroused and united the Democrats and a larger vote will be the result.

Tbe leaders laugh at Kline's strategy and say that he lacks originality, as he does not appear to know any political manouvers only what they have taught him. On the contrary they clala that the political resource of the uatwrUed are laexaaiuUble, and Assumed Charoi of Washery Base Ball at Beavtr Meadowr Other New. Tomorrow is election day. The various candidates In Banks and Kline township as well as Beaver Meadow and McAdoo borouglhs are diligently working among the voters for their election. In McAdoo "borough keen interest is manifested on account of the contest, between the People's and Citizens' parties.

Both seem confident of winning. In Banks township the usual Interest Is manifested by both parties. In, Beaver Meadow borough and Kline township the old time vigor is being shown. In the contest that Is now about winding up numerous rumors of deals between both parties will be circulated by some of the schemers who spring these reports purposely to defeat some of the candidates. The voters should not pay attention to any rumor which they hear.

Use your own judgment and vote for the man of your choice and don't be misinformed by political disturbers. The condition of Mrs. Annie Gildea, of Jeanesville No. 4, who is suffering from an attack of dropsy is still serious. Her attending physician says If she lives until Wednesday she may probably recover, as she will then have passed the critical stage of ber illness.
