directed the boy to drive the horse
around the block In order to keep him
warm Instead of waiting as usual.
When the young man reached the cor

He ran down Main avenue and came
around by way of the Dodge mine.
When a short distance below Bellevue
the animal slipped on the Taylor line
street car rails and fell to the ground,
breaking both forelegs near the knee
Joint. The boy was uninjured. Dr.

DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Such Was the Verdict of Coroner's Jury
in the Supposed Mysterious Death.
Coroner Kelley went to Olyphant yes
terday to hold an inquest on t,he re
mains of the man found dead in th:
sump of the Moosic Mountain Coal
company's shaft at Marshwood. The
man's name was Friend Bush, hlB ago
somewhere about 30 years, and his
parents' home is in Blnghamton. The
coroner went to Sweeney's undertaking
establishment In Olyphant and empan
eled the following Jury: John C. Evans,
William Adair, Thomas Patton, H. B,
Mathewson, T. P. Jones and M. J.
Lavan. After viewing the body the
coroner and Jury went to the shaft
where Bush was killed.
'mere was something peculiar about
the man's death. He worked an fuTit-
man, and the day of his death a man
who was working thirty feet from the
foot of the shaft heard Bush call for
help. The cries seemed to come from
the sump of the shafl and at the time
the left carriage was down. Search
was made. In the right sump, which is
six feet deep and half filled with water.
Nothing was found in the right sump,
The engineer was immediately signaled
and the left carriage was raised to the
top of the shaft. This brought the
right carriage down. The left Bump
was searched and nothing found. Once
more the other sump was examined,
and after the carriage was hoisted up a
few feet Bush's dead body was found
in the water.
Coroner Kelley held an autopsy and
fhe examination revealed the fact that
the man was crushed to death. The
abdominal cavity was taught under a
corner of the mine carriage und the
bowels were crushed. There was no
evidence thut death was due to foul
play und a verdict of accidental death
was rendered.
The remains were Interred In the
Union cemetery at Olyphant yesterday
afternoon. Rev. George Ball, of the
Primitive Methodist church, of Oly
phant, conducted a short burial ser
vice at the grave.

concerted plan, are
now putting tre

into the cause of
good government

Aggressive Chris
tianity seems to be
the pride of every denomination.
Flat-chested, sallow-cheeked, weak

scarce; strong, vigorous, cleur-headeil,
manly fellows ure entering the semi
naries. That a well man Is a better man thun
a sick one is no longer heresy.
Public l)ii t lis, fresli-ulr excursions,
open parks, sunlight, physical training
and proper medicines for the sick are
all contributing to the work of home
missions.
All sects appear to be entering with
unusual activity Into a practical re
formation. Last week In Boston one of
the greatest of Its pulpit orators
preached upon dean streets; In New
York the churches have been breaking
up political corruption. Money from
the contribution boxes Is going into
hospitals. Many a young clergyman to
day takes a year or more, not In a trip
to Europe to hear music and study
cathedral architecture, and "round out
his education," but In a plain, matter-of-fact
medical school to learn anut
omy and hygiene.
Most progressive ministers In every
denomination today are recommending
to their people the great remedy that
makes people well, earnestly Indorsing
the work of Dartmouth college's gen
erous scientist, and frankly lending
their influence to thut of the best phy
siciansadvising generally the use of
Palne's celery compound now that the
"danger season of spring" is near.
The proprietors of this best of reme
dies now furnish a great quantity of
testimonals from clergymen In , every
Btate, and almost every city and town
In the country, from which the follow
ing are taken at random:
Kev. Churlcs C. llruco.
Froni SomervHle, Mass., Boston's
wealthy suburb, Charles dumber
Bruce, one of the ablest young pastors
in the stute, writes:
"I am nearly 3S years of age and
weigh normally 15S pounds; at present
my weight Is HK'i. My sickness took
me down to 13-Hi, so that you can see
that I am getting buck to myself, and,
God willing, shall Boon be there.
I have been a very sick man, but
owing to the goodness of the Supreme
Powers I am now on the royal road
whose end Is perfect health.
'After twenty years of excessive
labor In studying and preaching, I was
elected to a position in a high school
In Boston, but the work told on. me
and I grew 111. The illness lasted for
about a year and a half. But now I am
so that I can see the end, and a more
thankful man you never saw. A gen
tleman who lived near me began to use
Palne's celery compound and It built
him up. I thought of this and soon I
was led to use It, and it hus brought
me out all light."
St. Theresa's Academy.
Mother Theresa, writing from St.
Theresa's academy, near Peoria, III.,
Baj'B that they have given Palne's cel
ery compound a thorough trial, and
found It to be nil that Is claimed for it.
She adds: "We shall continue Its use
and nlso recommend It to our friends."
Rev. T. I". Stnuffcr.
The following testimonial from a mun
so widely known and beloved as. Itev.
T. F. Stauffer.' pastor of the Faith Re
formed church of Lincoln, Neb., Is a
most positive proof of the wonderful
medlclnul power of Palne's celery com
pound und Its great superiority over
ordinary sarsupaiillus, tonics and nerv
ines. "For nearly a year past I have felt
myself running down. My nervous sys
tem was gradunlly growing worse; I
had slight symptoms1 of rheumatism,
and was troubled a good deal at times
with Insomnia. I felt that something
must be done, and concluded to use
Palne's eilory compound. After the
first few days' use I began to Improve,
and I am very much better now. in
deed, I feel like myself once more. All
symptoms of rheumutlsm are disap
pearing. I can sleep well, my nervous
system Is rapidly Improving, anil I be
lieve a radical cure Is being effected.
Palne's celery compound Is a splendid
remedy, and I can conscientiously com
mend It to the suffering In like cases,
I further believe that If this medicine
were taken in time It would save muny
heavy doctor's bills. I hnve never used
a remedy of any kind that met Its
promises so well and so readily."
r.dltor of the Georgia Baptist.
Rev. W. J. White, D. P., editor of the
Georgia Baptist, says: "My wife was
In poor health. I think It a sort of gen
eral debility which caused severe at
tacks of heart palpitation. Hhe was
favorably Impressed with Palne's cel
ery compound and procured It at once.
She felt bettellted from the first bottle,
and I see a decided Improvement which
Is gratifying. We have spoken of this
medicine to several friends, and several
hove already used It upon our recom
mendation." Hector of St. Anno's, Nashville.
Hew T. F. Ivf itrtlti, rector of St. Anne's
church at Nashville, gives his people
confidence In the great curative powers
of Palne's Celery compound. He says
"During the Lenten Beasui last year,
Which, on account or multiplied ser
vices, Is very trying and laborious to a
clergyman, I became so run-down that I
feared I would noil be able to hold out to
the end. Having seen accounts of the ef
ficacy of Palne's celery compound In
similar cases, I concluded to try It.
I was soon delighted to find that It
gave me new vigor, and by the use of
one bottle I was enabled to get through
the most laborious part of the season,
including Holy week and Easterday,
with ease and comfort. I attribute my
relief to Palne's celery compound. I
keep a bottle of it on hand and when
ever I have a return of the feeling of
exhaustion from unusual labor I take
a few doses, always with a pleasant
sensation of relief."
The I'ppcr Iowa Conference.
Among the many very able ministers
In the upper Iowa conference none Is
better bejoved by his church than Rev.
B. F. Berry. Head of the great good
that Palne's celery compound did him.
"For three years I have suffered from
Indigestion, constipation and bilious
ness. I have taken three bottlet of
Palne's celery compound und find my
self wonderfully helped. I feel rested
now mornings, and no longer have
any tired und stupid feelings. There
fore I take great delight In recommend
ing Palne'a celery .compound to all
suffering from these disorders."
The Venerable Vt llliara A. Smith.
Itev. William A. Smith, of Groton,
Conn., after years of work, Is still well
und active. He writes:
"in my early days, by great and pro
longed mental suffering, I broke down
In health and became a dyspeptic, being
obliged ut one time to give up my work
In the ministry on account of Ill-health.
1 um now 83 years of uge, and during
my long lifohaUe suffered greatly from I
dyspepsia, torpid liver, constipation und
Insomnia, at limes thinking I should !
die for the want of bulmy sleep, und j
It is u wonder to me that 1 am alive j
today with all thut I have been through.
"1 have tried an endless amount of
medicine, but lately I have been taking
Paine'B celery compound, and have all
faith In Its merits as ndupted to my
case. By the use of several bottles I
so fur recovered my health as to con
sider myself a well man for my age.
It regulates the liver, stomach and
bowels without any question. My ap
petite Is now good, my Bleep Is re
freshing, my liver active and bowels
regular, and my crutches not needed,
us I can walk without a stuff. I uVi
dully Increasing In ptrength and Im
proving generally, und hope that my
youth will soon be renewed so that I
can work as in by-gone days. People
are surprised at my Improved appear
unce and activity."
New York City Clergymen.
Interviewed by a reporter In that city
the other day, a large number of clergy
men expressed the heartiest Indorse
ment of Palne's celery compound. The
Interviews were published In the World.
Here are a few of them:
Itev. 11. L. Granllenard, pastor of the
French Presbyterian church, who lives
at 143 West Sixteenth street, said: "I
have frequently been relieved of ner
vous affections by the use of Palne's
celery compound. I think It a moBt
reliable remedy and shall recommend
It wherever I have an opportunity."
Itev. U. D. Winn, pastor of the Abys
sinian church, said: "My career as a
minister of the gospel has been ham
pered by the fact that for years I have
suffered from nervousness. 1 consulted
several specialists, who treated my case j
for months, but 1 must say that dur
ing the past few weeks I have received
mure benellt from one bottle of Paine's
celery compound than from all the j
other medicines taken."
The recent Indorsements of the great
remedy by Itev. F. A. Ouellet, Rev. Mr.
Laird and other prominent divines have
so recently been published that they are
fresh In the public mind.
Kev. U. A. ICmery.
Rev. G. A. Emery, of Pittsfleld, Vt..
writes:
j "Paine's celery compound Is the best
i medicine to be found and I very cheer-
I fully recommend It to all who are In
a run-down or exhausted condition. I I
have twice used It with most satisfac
tory results. For five years my work
has been very heavy, especially so dur
ing the lust two years. My conviction
wus that unless I found something to
help me I must give up my work as a
minister, but I took Palne's celery com
pound and last year came out all right,
without a vacation of so much as one
Sunday. I recommend it to all as a
wonderful nerve restorer."
Rev. H. S. Crosby.
Kev. B. S. Crosby, of Brushton, X. Y.,
says:
"It gives me great pleasure to add
my testimony to the effect of Palne's
celery compound. For eight years I
have suffered great pain in my back.
Lust April I was so weak and nervous
that I ill-ranged to go to Montreal for
treatment, but three days before I ex
pected to go a friend of mine urged me
to take Palne's celery compound. I
went that day and bought a bottle and
commenced to take It, and before I
had taken .the first bottle I was free
from pain in my back and could Bleep
sound, and am able to preach every
Sunday.
"I will gladly answer any one who
may write to me about It. I trust your
business will continue to prosper until
the aflllcted ones of the entire nation
shall take Palne's celery compound,
and be revitalized."
Was Caused by Grip.
Rev. Dr. J. F. Hall, of Mountvllle, is
one of the best known ministers in
southeastern Ohio. Mrs. Hall, whose
life wus despaired of, was restored to
health by Palne's celery compound.
She writes:
"The grip made a wreck of my nat
ural good health. I suffered from con
tinual headache, which nothing re
lieved, and from nervousness which
prevented sleep and caused me to have
palpitation of the heart when startled
by any unexpected noise or sound. I
had distressing pains In my back and
side, wus constipated, bilious, and sal-low-complcxloned.
My pulse was very
changeable, sometimes quick and at
others scarcely perceptible, appetite
poor, with a feeling of languor und
weakness ut times utmost overcoming
me. It seemed as If every organ In my
body was diseased, and I was In de
spair of ever being well again. At
times the grave seend very near. I
can never describe n; tertibl Buffer
ings, and It would have been a great
relief to have exchanged worlds, but
like every mother, I would look upon
my buliy 1oy and cling to life.
"Not having much fulth In adver
tised medicines, it wus with reluctance
that 1 began to use Palne's celery com
pound, but after the first dose I slept
well. My Improvement was rapid; I
took six bottles and gained between
20 and 25 pounds In weight, and now I
am fleshy, ruddy cheeked and clear
coniplexloned, the wonder of all my
rrlends. I do my own work and assist
my husband In his labors as a minister
of the gospel. 1 always tell the sick
and suffering what thls grand com
pound haR done for me."
1 or All Sufferers.
Kev.. Percy T. Fenn, rector of St.
John's nt Boonton, N. J., writes:
'It gives me great pleasure to com
mend the use of Palne's celery com
pound to all those who are suffering
from nervous troubles. I had suffered '
for two years with nervous prostration
brought on by overwork and excessive
study, and during this time had tried
almost everything In the way of-medio
cine, besides being treated by an emi
nent specialist in nervous diseases, but
nothing helped me until I used Palne's
celery compound. This remedy has
been of great benefit to me, and I shall
always recommend It to all sufferers."
The fact is, Paine's celery compound
makes people well. Try it and be coo.
vlnced.
