Mentzer, Saturday. W. K. Bullock Is still Improving in health. In the matter of the Judicial contest. the Judges 'hearing the case met at Lapoi te the latter part of the week and reviewed several phases of the ques tion, flnully adjourning until Wednes day, Jan. 9, to consider a motion to quash the whole proceedings, on the ground that the allldavlts attached to the petition are defective In that they did not follow the language of the stat ute. The Judges were not clear on that point, and desired to look It up. The motion was made, of course, by the attorneys for Mr. Dunham. They also Introduced another motion to quash the proceedings on the ground that Sulli van county 'had no Jurisdiction to try the case; that If tried at all it should be In Wyoming. The court was divided on this question, but the majority finally ruled It out. Tho committee ap pointed to collect the ballot boxes were instructed to open them In the presence of representatives of both parties and to seal t'he allldavlts and papers, and place them in the hands of the pro thonotary for safe keeping. District Attorney James E. Frear and wife spent Sunday at Factoryvllle. rrofesKor F. II. Jarvls was down from Meshoppen Saturday. Charles F. Brown, of Meshoppen, and Lucy Douglass, of Lovllton, obtained a marriage license Saturday. The heartiest sympathy Is expressed for ex-County Treasurer John B. Overfield, who, by the burning of the Meshoppen mill, was made almost pen niless. He, In company with Atilra Gregory, was operating the mill and had 700 bushels of rye, 1,000 bushels of wheat, a large quantity of corn and other grain Stored in the upper por tion of the building. It was a total loss, as there was no insurance upon It. The published statement of the Wyom ing National bank, Just out, shows that Institution to be upon a sound financial footing. It is a time-honored Institu tion in our. town and enjoys an excel lent patronage. Humor has it that Fred Jennings will retire from the bakery April 1, and it will be ocoupied by I). E. Gray again.

FrtUU II T WITH NAl'OLEOX. itut Four Survivors of the Kmrcror's (irunJ Army-All Ccntcnariuns. One of the French pnpers which have been devoting a great deal of attention to Napoleon Bouapurte of late has been entertaining its readers by having a census mnde of the survivors of Nupo Icon's grand army. Four of these men only are now left. The eldest Is Jean Jacques Sabatler, who was born on the'lOth of April, 17112, at Vernoux l'Ardeche, where he has lived In retirement for many years. Then come Victor Baillod, Jean Bous- set and Joseph Rose, aged respectively 101 years and 1 month, 100 years and 1 month and loo years and a few days. It Is said that ull are as hearty and vigorous as can be expected. In spite of their experiences as long as eighty two years ago In that terrible retreat when the beggarly remnant of the greatest army the world has ever seen, worn out with cold and hunger, angrily called to the victor of Marengo and Austerlitz to get off his horse and share In the miseries of his men. COULD HARDLY BREATHE, Catarrh of the Nose, Throat and Stomach Life Made Miierable by Headaches, Pain and Cough. , Llda McCanUleHS, 1230 South Thirty fifth street, Philadelphia, In conversa tion with a reporter, said: "I had a very bad caBe of catarrh of tho nose, throat and stomach, with frequent headaches, pain under the shoulder blades and a horrible cough. I had to keep my mouth constantly open day and nlKlit to breathe, and felt as miser able as one poBslbly could. I was ad vised to try Munyon's Catarrh Cure. I am happy to. say that from the begin ning 1 felt relieved and continued to grow better until now I am entirely well. I am so thankful that this re markable remedy was ever discovered, and hope others will take advantage of my experience." Have you catarrh? Are you willing to investigate a treatment that oures Catarrh by removing the cause? If so ask your druggist for a 25 cent bottle of Munyon's Catarrh Cure and a 25 cent bottle of Catarrh Tablets. The Catarrh Cure will eradicate the disease from the system, and the Tablets will cleanse and heal the afllictcd parts and restore them to a natural and healthful condi tion. . Munyon's Homoeopathlo Home Rem edy company, of Philadelphia, put up specifics for nearly every disease, which are sold by all druggists, mostly for 25 cents a bottle. - ' , SCRANTON THEN AND NOW. Contrasts Uctwccn the City of Yesterday and Tliut of Today. In teist week's issue of the Wllkes- Barre Telephone Editor Charles V. Lin- skill givt& the following Interesting pen picture of Scranton: 'When my father came Into Pennsyl vania, sixty-four years ago, the place where Scranton stands was known as Slocum Hollow. A red mill stood In a shady dell by a bright trout stream. A country road wound through the val ley, now amid hemlocks and laurels, and now over hills of chestnut and oak. An occasional field, or open place In the forest, peimltted the traveler to catch a random view of the distant mountain ranges. After this, energetic men with bright, . restless eyes, came here and planted a roaring, belching furnace, and molten Iron painted the evening clouds. Then 'they waved their hands toward a wealthy city, and beckoned a railroad to come this way on Its Jour ney to the great lakes. Then the Lacka wanna valley echoed with t'he shrill neigh of the powerful Iron-horse, and the hills reverberated with the clash of his steel hoofs on the iron paved high way. Then these active, powerful men again polished the Aladdin lamp of modern enterprise, and a town was found sitting In the forest. Mechanics made the shops glow and ring; miners tunneled and chambered the solid earth; farmers felled ithe forests, and plowed the fields and caused them to bloom and ripen, and resound with cackling, bleating and bellowing herds; and merchants, with new goods and suange tongues, came from distant fifties, and the pavements were decked with the hospitable glow of commercial enterprise and courtesy. ine first time I saw Scranton was In 1881. I remember seeing a few houses among forest trees, nnd thou sands of people walking slowly along a lonely, muddy road, to the strains of sad, wailing music, until we came to a new, untamed cemetery, where amid weeping, and mournful dirges, the re ui.inin ol ueorge w. scranton were lowered into the earth. Again, I saw Scranton, with a dear friends, when a saintly man came to the Wyoming House and placed the hand of a bright, beautiful girl In mine, and after sol- emnly asking us to love and care for each other, he gave Us his most sincere blessing. Again, I saw Scranton, when Hags and banners caused the place to bloom with beauty, while music thrilled the hearts and timed the footsteps of many thousand of armed and regaliaed men. When a tall and noble governor of our state, with uncovered head moved along streets crowded with men, women nnd children in orderly pha lanx. While banners waved, artillery roarer, men shouted and music echoed, the gallant governor was the most self possessed man In the assembly, which seemed to verify the saying that he who rules himself best is best fitted to rule others, "Again, while there, I went where a swa.np had been, and, entering a large building, found several thousands of people singing hymns, and before them, on a platform, sat scores of gifted min isters, and a man, who had talked to millions of people in many lands, arose nnd talked of truth, -peace and good ness, in such a simple, yet powerful manner as to make- many emile and weep and promise to lead lives more useful. Again, I enter the place at eventide. The blue-eyed angel of elec tricity brightens the city. The furnaces flash their flames toward the sky. Screaming and roaring engines dash along with great nickel-plated and satin-lined carriages filled with light, and with happy people. Electric oars like chariots of flame are going and coming in many directions. Many great, crystal-front stores show the beautiful and varied merchandise of an opulent world. Thousands of people are buying the articles most timely for holiday-tide. Seal-clad wealth, and penury's anxious eye, paled cheek and ragged garment, on the same pave ment. The following morning, the charming chimes of silvery bells In a stone tower, call us to enter the door way of a magnificent edlilce where the light fell through stained glass In forms of marvelous love and beauty, and the mighty organ blended thunder and ocean roar, with the carol of happy birds, the whisper of loving mothers and the soothing zephyrs of June morn ings. Then a stalwart man from the north, spoke to the people with a gen tle, earnest, truthful eloquence that was as ennobling as It was charming." . Hewaro of Frauds.

A well known French statistician computes the following figures, based on present statistics for the end of the twentieth century. According to his tables the population of the earth at that time will be: Europe, 780,000,000 (at present 364,000, 000). Asia, 1,100,000,000 (at present 830,000, 000). America, 685,000,000 (at present 125, 500,000). Australia, 30,000,000 (at present 5,7000, 000). Africa,' 200,000,000 (at present 170,000, 000). Thus America will be first In regard to Increase and Europe second, while the ratio of Increase will grow steadily larger in America and smaller In Europe. The decline of the ratio of Increase, which may be already ob served In France, will extend in rota tion to Germany, Italy, England, etc. The population of the various coun tries at the end of the next century Is given thus: Russia, 340,000.000. Oermany, 110,000,000. France, 50,000,000. China, 500,000,000. United States, 400,000,000. Mexico and Brazil, 15,000,000. Canada, 40,000,000. Argentine Republic, 30,0000,000. English will probably be spoken In 19114 by more than 500,000,000, German by 10,000,000, French by 120,000,000, Spanish and Portugese by 235,000,000 people. Mrs. Anna Vcemers l'aulton, l'enn.
