standing In these organizations at the
time of his death and the Slocum and
Navajo lodges will be bound to pay
1100 each to his relatives. He had no
one dependant upon him and the
lodges would have been at liberty to
keep the money, but they did not do
o.
They have expended the sum in this
way, each bearing half of the expense:
burial, $13; casket. $76.40; tlowers. t'f.

$176.40. This leaves $23.60 untouched in
the treasury. This money will be laid
aside and will at times be spent in
keeping in condition the dead man's
grave. The Knights of Malta have no
indemnity clause in their constitution.

of the Injunction to restrain the county
commissioners of Philadelphia from
printing on the official ballot the col
umn of the McKlnley citizens party in

Reeder denied the jurisdiction of the

no objection has been filed to the Mc
Klnley citizens' ticket within the time
required by law, he followed the prece
dctn of the department In certifying
the ticket. He also says the continu
ance of the injunction would seriously
interfere with the printing of the bal
lots, which has been commenced by the
printers. Argument was also heard

islative district, to restrain the Phila

ment, which was mainly on the juris
diction of the court, the court took the

ion would be given.

and Reliable.
Judge Frank Ives of District Court
of Crookston, i Minn., says: For soma
time I have used Stuart'a Dyspepsia
Tablets with seeming great benefit,
with few exceptions, I have not been
so free from indigestion in twenty-nv
years.

r.russels, Belgium: Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, safe, pleasant to take, con
venient to carry, give keen appetite,
perfect digestion.
Mr. W. D. Tomlin, Mechanical Engi
neer, Duluth, Minn.: One box of Stu
art's Dyspopsia Tablets has done Its
work.and I am again gaining flesh and
strength.
O. E. Random, Hustonvllle, Ky.: I
was distressed nnd annoyed for two
years with throwing up food, often two
or three times a day: had no certainty
of retaining a meal if I ate one. Four
boxes of the tablets from my druggist
hnve fully cured me. I find them pleas
ant to take, convenient to carry.
Rev. G. D. Brown, Mondovi. Wis.:
The effect of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets is simply marvelous; a quite hear
ty dinner of broiled beef steak causes
no distress since I begun their use.
Over six thousand people in the

AMUSEMENTS.
Probably the largest nnd most ex
pensive theatrical organization which
Manager Long will present to his pat
rons at the Academy of Music this
coming season will be Thomas D. Van
Osten'a "Miss Philadelphia" extrava
ganza company, numbering one hund
red people. "Miss Philadelphia" was
written by Edtiar Smith and composed
by Hermann I'erlet. It is a stupendous
burlesque production, and was pro
duced in Philadelphia April 30th, 1S96.
whero it ran uninterruptedly for 1(H)
nights. The plot hinges on u dream in
the course of which William Penn, Jr.,
a fast descendant of the original "Wil
liam," shows the latter the present
aspect of the city and the proud state
of Pennsylvania which he founded way
back in the past. It Is extremely wit
ty. Jocundly humorous, and Bitot here
and there with veins of the keenest
nnd most trcnchatH satire upon the
most notable and prominent public
characters of the present time. One of
the many features will be a ladles
orchestra of fourteen musicians. "Miss
Philadelphia" accompanied by her 100
Jolly traveling companions will arrive
here this morning and will hold her
Scranton reception at the Academy to
night nnd tomorrow evening. The
sale of seats has been immense and a
crowded and brilliant auditorium will
greet the popular little Philadelphia
maid.
The sale of seats opens this morning
for the concert by Gilmore's band un
der the direction of Victor Herbert at
the Frothlngham next Friday even
ing. That Is every evidence that the
new Gilmore's under Victor 'Herbert
outcluss the old Gilmore's many times
over. What everybody and all the crit
ics sny must bo so. The engagement
on Friday evening will bo the musical
event of the season for Scranton and
the enquiry already lead for seats in
dicates that our music lovers are fully
aware of the fact;
The Noss Jollity company In the
musical comedy, "The Kodak" will be
seen at the Academy of Music Friday
and Saturday and Saturday matinee,
Oct. 30 and 31st. The musical special
ties are good, and the company suc
ceeds In keeping the nudience in a con
stant ronr of laughter. Among the
specialties the saxophone quintette
and the "musical slaw cutters" or fairy
bells are the most notable. "The
Kodak" abounds In mirth provoking
scenes, and a number on every Imag
inable instrument which are handled
In a very skillful manner.
The spectacular production of the
new "Spider and Fiy" will be the at
traction at Davis' Theatre Thursday,
Friday and Saturday next. It requires
a special baggage car to haul the scen
ery, while a second car Is necessary for
the costumes and the general baggage
of the company of forty-two people.
One of the features of the "Spider and
Fly" this season is the grand nnd be
wildering transformation, which rep
resents the history of the United
States from 1492 to the present year.
There will be no matinee on Thurs
day, the immense scenery requiring
too long to be put In place.
