FIVE BOYS IN JAIL.
The manner In which the young boys
who stole money from the Oxford office
were 'captured Is rather peculinr. In
. the drawer, where the money was se
creted was a sum of $3 In counterfeit
money.' A few weeks after the disap
pearance of the coin. Patrolman Ixiwry
observed the young fellows in the net of
passing the spurious coin In a central
city store. He noted their names and
discovered the pluce where the money
was taken from. The Delaware, ,

WILL GET PURE WATER.
The city of Wilkes-Burre will derive
a blessing from the consolidation; her
people will get u supply of pure spring
water and the water now furnished
there will be utilized solely for steam
ami Hydraulic purposes. The three
principal companies affected by the
transfer are the Spring Brook Water
company, supplying all the towns and
villages between Mlnooka and Ply
mouth; the Crystal Spring Water' com
pany, of w llkes-llurre; and the Han
over Water company, supplying the
towns- below Ashley. The Spring
crooK vt ater company lias lucoi-Dorat
ed within it smaller companies supply
ing tne various villages a one- Its ma ns.
and the other companies have In like
manner a certain number of smaller
concerns within them; that Is how there
are twenty-six companies represented
in tins enterprise.
The price paid for the entire property
Is $3,:.1H),U00. The stockholders of the
Crystal Spring company, of Wilkes
Barre, received Stiii a share for their
stock, and there being 8.800 shures the
amount was. I57:!,0OO. The Hoatinir debt
of the company amounting to $213,000
was paid and the bonded debt of S.'loo
000 was provided for. This was a sale
outright, and the money and securities
relating to this transfer were ex
changed through the Second National
and Wyoming National banks of
llkes-Barre.
Negotiations Vere opened up with
me various companies now supplying
Wllkes-Barre aniTsurroundlna- nlaces
some time ago. They will receive their
water as soon as the chanue can be In
troduced from the Spring Brook for do
mestic purposes and the supply now
furnished to Wllkes-Barre will be util
ized for steam purposes. This will not
involve the consumption of anv mor
water. There is enough of supply dis
tributing to Wllkes-Barre to supply
me enure region with water for steam
the Spring Brook will be used exclu
slvely for domestic purnoses.
The price paid for the entire property
Is $;.2B0,U00. that Is, the Interest In the
old companies was turned over to the
new auu snares of stock Issued there
for. Bonds to the amount of $5,000,000
have been floated, and $1,000,000 of this
will be kept In the treasury to make
improvements, build additional reser
voirs, new pipe lines, and they intend
putting In at once an immense pump
ing plant on the Susquehanna river
above where the Lackawanna river
empties Into It at Coxton. This Is to
be relied upon In case of on emergency.
Larger storage reservoirs will also be
built. The work on the Improvements
will begin as soon as the weather per
mits. GREAT CONFIDENCE IN IT.
So great Is the confidence of men of
capital in the stability of the enter
prise that in Wllkes-Barre alone there
were applications made for $;00.000
more stock than was placed on - the
market and offers for over $400,000
worth of bonds at the syndicate price
were also refused.
The new company will not make any
changes In the present management
of the companies consolidated other
than to devote their energies to sup
plying the demand for purer water.

THE CAUSE OF LAGRIPPE.
Now Admitted to Be from Ueranced Di-
- ccs'tton.
. Careful observation In many rases of
La Grippe extending over several years
have gradually developed the fact that
It Is very generally caused from dietetic
errors.
In other words, during the prevalence
of LaGrippe, persons who suffer from
Indigestion or stomach troubles are al
most Invariably victims of the epi
demic. This can be readily understood when
you remember that the germs of any
disease cannot gain a foothold In the
system of a man or woman who Is
blessed with perfect digestion because
perfect digestion means perfect health,
and such persons can bid defiance to
La Grippe or to any other prevailing
epidemic.
For this reason physicians have re
cently Introduced Into their practices
the new preparation known as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets as an almost certain
preventive of La Grippe, as this remedy
by giving perfect digestion and assim
ilation of the food so fortifies the sys
tem against disease that all danger
from this epidemic is reduced to a mini
mum. So popular have Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets become that it Is claimed with
in one month after being made known
to the public one hundred and ninety
three druggists in Detroit. Mich., alone
were selling It and today they pro
nounce it the most satisfactory remedy
they ure selling for all forms of sto
mach derangement.
The price at druggists Is but 50 cents
for full sized package.
It. is not a cure-ull, but is recom
mended as a cure for Dyspepsia and
stomach troubles only.
