Susquehanna. Nov. 24. In the 1lttli
cemetery nt ISHmont, near Pleasant
Mount, Wayne county. In an alinont
unmarked crave, rest the remains of
ttamuel Meredith the first treasurer of
the I'nlted States. Samuel Meredith
was born at Philadelphia In 1741. and
was educated at Chester academy. He
married Margaret, youngest daughter
of Dr. Thomas Cadwalluder, In 1771. He
represented Philadelphia In the Colon
ial assembly several times. In 1775 he
was commissioned major and fought in
the bnttles of Trenton and Princeton.
In 1777 he was exiled, with his fam
ily, by the liritlsh and the same year
was made brigadier general by Penn
sylvania. In 17S0 he and Oeorge Cly
nier each pledged $25,000 to secure pro
Visions for the United States army.
In 17.s:i-8 he was In the state legis
lature and In 17MJ-8 In the continental
congress. He was nominated by Wash
ington for I'nlted Stsrtes treasurer,
Sept. 11, liK'j, nnd continued by the
senate. He served in this position for
twelve years, receiving the commenda
tion of Jefferson. He then retired to
the then wilderness of Wayne county,
at Kelimmt. He hud large landed In
teiests In northern Pennsylvania. He
made a large cle aring at lielmont, and
erected a line residence, which was de
stroyed by lire n few yeurs ago. He
spent the evening of his days in seclu
sion, and died Feb. 10, 1S17, aged 70
years. He left a distinguished family,
but thev have never erected a tlttlng
monument to his memory. From time
to time the mutter of erecting a monu
ment has been advocated by the press,
but nothing practical has ever been
done, ('(ingress ought to take some ac
tion In the matter. Would not this
be n gourt work for the "Daughters
of the Revolution'.'"
I'KNNY FUU A ROSE.
Recently Miss Clara Penny, of South
Montrose, started for school, a lew
miles away. Knroute she met Jerome
Ruse, son of Jerome Rose, and they
walked to his home, secured a car
riage and went over the line Into York
state, where they were married. The
usual tears, Molestation and reconcil
iation followed.
AND A DOl'HLK KLOPMF.NT.
In Rlnghamton on Wednesday last,
Richard Fanchor was wedded to Miss
Cora Taft, and M. 10. Morgan to Miss
Carrie Hrown. The contracting parties
hail from pictuesiiue New Mllford, and
the brides are but 16 and 17 years
of use. It Is said that the parents of
tin; young people are not showering
any blessings upon anybody, but they
do threaten legal proceedings. Hotter
forgive them this time. The young
people will be older and wiser later
on unless death steps in and does the
divorce act.
Sl'NDAY MATTERS.
In these holcyon and vociferous days
our own (Jalusha Urow, the Suge of
Uleuwood, is being snowed under by
Verselets like
Dear Mr. Grow,
Oct us the P. O.
Our county court has discharged
Dock Tenderlop from custody. Carry
ing about such a name wus punish
ment enough.
In the county court, a woman, erst
while of Sus(iuehunna, convicted of
adultery, was lined $10 and costs. A
bilious Justice of the peace will charge
a fellow that amount for a plain drunk.
"The world do move."
The New York Journal says: "Ex
amine your $10 and $20 bills' closely.
It is said that $1 and $2 bills are being
raised." It Is much easier to raise bills
than it was a month ago.
Statistics tell us that no fewer than
lOti different kinds of couplers are enu
merated by the Interstate commission.
And these figures do not Include the
clergymen.
TEMPERANCE TOPICS.
Several newspapers state that "the
appetite for alcohol can be dissipated
by eating apples at every meal." Hut
do not make the mistuke of taking the
apples In the liquid form else you will
surely become "dissipated."
Leading magazines feel called upon
occasionally to have a special article
telling just "How to Cure Drunken
ness." There Is one sure wuy of avoid-'
ing the necessity of being cured of
drunkenness. Never taste the first
glass of Intoxicants.
PRESERVED OXEN.
There conies to us, via Hinghamton,
the pleasant tale of the discovery of
oxen In Leach Lake, this county. Ac
cording to the veracious chronicler four
winters ago Peter Haklns and Charles
Merrill were drawing bark across the
pond with an ox team. They left the
oxen In a bark shed, while they pur
Kiied a bear. Returning in forty min
utes, the oxen were non est and could
not be found. Their sudden disap
pearance remained a mystery until last
week, when a party of Hinghamton
scientists visited the lake and discov
ered the oxen and sled standing in the
mud live feet below the surface of the
water. They were In a splendid stnte
of preservation. The chronicler falls
to Inform us upon this point, but the
oxen were probably dead. The scien
tists advance the theory that the oxen
walked into an air hole in the ice. The
broken pieces of ice soon Joined to
gether and froze, hiding the animals
and outfit from mortal view. Truth Is
stranger than fiction.
STRAIGHT NEWS.
The International Fraternal alliance,
of which Susquehanna once had a
branch, has just made the modest as
sessment on each member of $3.50. Each
member has already paid in $.100. It's
a blessing that these skln-you-quick
concurns are fast dying out.
Up to date there are three candi
dates for postmaster at Susquehanna,
with one ward still to be heard from,
Frank Resch, erstwhile a Susquehan
na baker, has exodsted or levanted,
leaving behind sundry Inconsolable
creditors, who mourn the loss of their
"dough." Incidentally, Frank also left
behind a wife and several children.
Family troubles are said to have been
the cause of his sudden flight.
The theatrical season will open in
Susquehanna Nov. 28. Let us prepare
for tank dramas, limb monstrosities and
burnt cork abominations.
The Erie shop will be closed on
Thursday. There's more "coercion" for
you!
THAT CASE OP HYPNOTISM.
Concerning the case of young Wes
cott, of Forest City, said to be the vic
tim of Professor Lowe, a peregrinating
professor of hypnotism, the professor
tells a press reporter In Pittsburg that
Wescott had been a victim of epilepsy
and the cigarette habit. At the father's
request he restored the young man,
who had been operated upon by Inex
perience hypnotists. , Owing to the
uoys very weak condition, he was tin
able -to treat him for epilepsy, as he
hud been urged to do. Lowe says he
Is in no wise responsible for Weseott's
present deplorable condition. A (rood
many people, who are more or less In
terested In hypnotism, would ba Blad
to learn the real facts In thla most
singular case. They ought to be easily
obtainable.
IN THE COUNTY.
Stanlev White, filled with the wrong
sort of spirit, attended the Methodist
Episcopal church In Montrose a few
evenings ago. He vociferated and
threatened to shoot people full of holes.
He was held to 1m II and taueu. u

McCONNELL AGAIN.
Will J. McConnell, the talented but
very crrutic temperance lecturer, well
known in Susquehanna and Lncltfu-
wtuiiia counties, came to Pittsburg
from Idaho, where he has been lectur
ing successfully, to attend the trial of
William J. Rlchter. his brother-in-law,
who murdered Mr. McConnell's 13-ycar-
old son, James, in Pittsburg, last sum
mer. On Thursday last, while leav
ing the court house to procure a lunch,
lie suddenly sank to the Moor. W hen
taken to the hospital it was discovered
tnat ne had tanen snlliclent morphine
to kill three men. The physician In
charge thought McConnell had taken
the drug for a long while. Latest ad
vices were to the eftcct that he was
recovering.
RAILROAD NOTES.
Work In the Erie shops Is booming.
Tito working force Is being perceptibly
increased, and much night work Is be
ing performed. Let the coercion con
tinue. The pay rolls in the Erie this month
exceed In amount any pay roll for the
past three years.
Aleck R. I orbes for years a. popular
engineer on the Susquehanna division
of the Erie, was last week taken to
w lllard asylum, at Ovid, N. Y., for
treatment.
Several of the larger yards on the
Erie have within a few davs been
blocked with freight and coal cars.
Humor has It that the Erie will adopt
the compound style of locomotive for

SUICIDE IDENTIFIED.
The Cilrl Who Shot Herself nt Tren
ton Was Minnie Hnsslcbuch.
Trenton, N. J., Nov. 14 The young
woman who shot herself here last Sun
day morning was Identified late this
afternoon us Minnie Hasslehach, of HJ)
East Fifth street, New York. Helen
HassKbach, who Identified her. is a
youngei sister Minnie, she said, w hile
weeping by her sister s collln. was 21
years old. She was a dressmaker until
last spring, since which time she had
been out of employment. The git Is
lived with their widowed mother. The
latter told Helen some time ngo of Min
nie 8 sad plight. She merely suspected
Ipr daughter's condition at first. Min
nie vehemently denied that she was in
trouble, but at the same time she re
fused to have a doctor examine her,
which confirmed hor mother in the be
lief that she had been betraved.
"Hcfore I will submit to an examina
tion," she said to her mother-; "1 will
kill myself."
Helen added while telling the stoiy
that Minnie kept company with Hurry
Gay, of 100 East Eighty-third street.
Guy Is a few years older than Minnie
was. He is a collector for a furniture
installment house. They were seen to
gether for the last time one day last
week. Minnie left home on Friday
night last ostensibly to visit a friend in
the lower part of the city. This was
the last the family saw of her. She
had $5 In her pocket and wore a pair of
chip diamond earrings, costing about
$12. Newspaper notices of the suicide
here were called to the family's atten
tion, which led Helen to come on.- The
police believe the girl spent the $.1 and
then traded or pawned the earrings
for enough money to buy a revolver
with which she ended her life.

quietly took possession.
The visitor went to the kitchen,
turned up the lights, rekindled the fire
and prepared himself a feast of choice
dainties that the Staats family had
ready for Sunday dinner. Afterward
the unwelcome guest went to the bath
room and washed himself, using some
of Mr. Staats' tooth-powder In the op
eration. A son of Mr. Staats was
aroused by the noise, but the stranger
heard him and escaped. The only thing

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia and
Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, I Not Argument,
uud Facts Arc Stubborn Things.
Stomach troubles are so common and
in many cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi
gestion. Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness in never being hum
bugged, especially on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may
be carried too fur: so far, in fact, tnat
many persons suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk a little
time and money In faithfully testing the
claims of a preparation so reliable and
universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly dlflerent In one Important re
spect from ordinary proprietary medi
cines for the reason that tiny are not a
secret patent medicine, no secret is
made of their ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di
gestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids. Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastls and nux. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act pow
erfully tn any organ, but they cure In
digestion on the common sense plan of
digesting the food eaten thoroughly be
fore It has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This Is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomach trou
bles because they act entirely upon the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble Is
reajly In the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken af
ter meals, digest the food. That Is all
there Is to It. Food not digested or
half digested Is poison as It creates
gas, acidity, headaches, pnlpltatlon of
the heart, loss of llesh and appetite and
many other troubles which are often
culled by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at 50 cents per package. Ad
