Y., recently published the following- Interesting account of how William W. Adams, of 127 South ave nue, that city was saved from a painful operation by the use of Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy. Mr. Adams said: "Three years ago I was taken with kidney disease very badly; at times I was completely pros trated: In fact, was so bad that the day was set for the doctors to perform an operation upon me. Rut I decided I would not submit. I had been put In hot water baths, and, in 'fact, nearly every means was tried to help me. Upon the day set for the operation I commenced the use of Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy, and from that moment began to gain, and it was not long before I was entirely cured and have had no return of the trouble since. My weight has Increased and I never was so well as I am now. I have rec ommended OR. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY to a pile of people, and It's worth Its weight In gold, for 1t saved my life. Why, my wife thinks It's the best med icine made for women." In speaking to Mrs. Adams, she said "About a year ago- I was in a very feeble state of health, being completely run down.

Jacob Solins and Miss Louisa Kraft Havo a Romance Printed as Their Morriago Notice. I fob fn'ins and Miss Louisa Kraft, an t-fctlmuOle young couple, whose tastes led them, with the full knowl edge and consent of their parents, to go to Wilkes-Barre and get married have been the recipients of much more no tice, and very erroneous at that, than usually falls to the lot of the average couple. The following is taken from Friday's Wilkes-Barre Times and it was copied as bona fide yesterday In a Scran ton paper: "Alderman J. B. Ford, of the Eighth werd, performed an Interesting mar riage ceremony last evening. The con tracting parties were Jacob 8. Sohns, grandson of Samuel Sloan, president of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern railroad, and Miss Louisa Kraft, niece of John Jermyn, the prominent Scranton coal operator and millionaire. Bride and groom are both from Scran ton. The bride wore exquisite flowers and carried a bouquet which were fur nished by Florist Marvin, of this city. The following persons wltncssd the ceremony: Hon. W. II. Hlnes, Charles Shovlln. F. T. McCormack. S. 8. Her ring and Robert K. Connhan. The last named placed the ring on the bride's finger. Joseph Weitzenkorn presented the bride with a handsome pair of kid gloves. After the ceremony the happy couple was driven to tho Lehigh Valley station by C. R. Buckalew, in one of Posten & Palmer's coaches, from whence they took a train for Atlanta, Ga. The announcement of this mar riage will create quite a furore among the society people In Scranton and this city. The groom occupies n resfonRlhle position on the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western railroad under Superin tendent Hallstead." The relationship mentioned In the above extract has existence only in the mind of some one who played a prac tical Joke on the Wilkes-Barre Times' reporter. Mr. Sohns has a position up holstering car seats in the Delaware, Lackawnna and Western shops. Ills Hand Wns. Crushed. Patrick Ruane, of Cedar avenue, was injured yesterday afternoon In the Del aware, Lackawanna and Western cou pling cars; his right hand was crushed between the bumpers and mangled so seriously that the opinion of the sur geon at the Moses Taylor hospital where he was brought. Is that amputa tion cannot be avoided. Mr. Runne Is a young man well known on the South Side and his misfortune will be a source of much regret. He was employed as brakesman. His hand was dressed last evening and the surgeons will perform amputation only when all efforts to save the member falls. Shorter Paragraphs of News.

Lackawanna for a Second Time Downs tho Long Hatred Wyoming Youths. The School of the Lackawanna foot ball team played its second game of its series with the Wyoming Seminary sec ond eleven yesterday afternoon at the base ball park and won by a score of 6 to 0. The first game between them was won by a score even closer than that of yesterday. Wyoming won the toss and gave the ball to Lackawanna. A few minutes of ploy showed that the teams were evenly matched and that a lively con test was to be expected. Both teams were fairly strong in offensive work and about equal In defensive play, Lackawanna excelling in around the end play owing to good Interference, while tho Seminary boys made their largest gains by bucking the line. Captain Lathrope s line plunging was superior to that of any of the visitors and really won the game. With the ball on Wyoming s thirty yard. Lathrope bucked the centre successfully and after some clever dodging and warding off of several of the backs secured a clear field, which he sprinted over too rap- Idly for his pursuers and made the first and only touchdown or the game. He afterwards kicked a goal. Wyoming had the ball on Lackawanna's ten yard line when time for the llr.it halt was called. In the second half the Seminary push ed the ball down to Lackawanna's Ave yard line nulcklv but lost on downs. Lackawanna then worked It back grad ually by line playing to Wyoming's fifty yard line, where It was when time was called. About two hundred persons saw the game, which was much enlivened by the presence or tne school Doys and srirls wearing their college colors, tooting their tin horns and cheering their fa vorites.

ITS EFFECTS ON THE KIDNEYS Sick Kidneys and How to Cur Them with Sparagua Kidney Pills. KIDNEY NERVE TROUBLES. So-Called Nerve Troubles, Caused by Sick Kidney and Unfiltered Blood. THE SICK AND WELL OF IT. A preat deal of our food and drink Is medicinal, and we don't know it. Sometimes the effects are good, some times bad. Asparagus 13 really a dish of medi cine. It is pleasant enough. The most modern medicine Is. But the effects are not very strong the way we eat It. The real strength is In the root, and we don't eat that. The root of asparagus cures kidney trouble and blood troubles. The two are closely allied. In fact, one causes the other. Kidney troubles cause blood trouble. Hlood troubles cause kidney troubles. This may seem peculiar, but It's true. To explain: Well kidneys are filters. Clogged kidneys are not. Clogged kid neys cause blood troubles, because they don't filter the blood, und unaltered blood Is poisonous. On the other hand, poisonous blood poisons the kidneys. The fact that the kidneys are clogged makes them all the more sensitive to tho poison. You get Hrlpht's disease, dlubetes, etc. The un filtered blood hns caused It. The way to get well from all this trou ble Is to cure your kidneys. They will then lllter your blood. Pure, nourishing, strengthening blood Is a guarantee of health. Hut how to cure the kidneys, to make them perfectly well and strong, to reg ulate them, tone them up and clear up their clopglnesn? The answer Is: Do It with asparagus. Do It with Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Tills. Kidney troubles are Ilrlght's disease, diabetes, nephritis, sleeplessness, back ache, sideache, nervousness, evil fore bodings, swelling of the feet and ankles.

If not. not. Mnny diseases not generally under storid, are now known to be cnused by untillered blood, thnt Is. sick kidneys. Not nil nervous disorders, but many ot them, are really the result of unfil tered blood. Dr. llobb's Spurgus Kid ney Pills will cure them. I'nflltered blood contains ns Its chief ImnurHy uric acid. This is a strong nerve Irritant. It canrrs headache, nruralgln, dlzzl resa, hyptcrln. gout, rheumatism a lung train of nervous disorders. As soon ns the blood Is pure, the Irri tation will :asfi, the disorder will be cured. Dr. Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills will do it by curing the kidneys.
