mer decree In any resiect. Judge Gun
ster delivered a severe censure upon
the council, remarking that they had
been cither badly advised or were act
ing very stubbornly. In the face of for
mer decisions of that and other courts.
He Intimated that the case was anal

take any longer than a month or so.

FACTORY VILLK.
The Reading Circle met for the first
time for the transaction of business nt
the Methodist Episcopal parsonage last
Monday e.venlng and was well attend
ed to start with. It looks as though
they were going to be a successful lit
tle band of Christians, who are willing
to devote one evening a wtek to the
reading of the Scripture and other
Christian literature. .
The Christian elements seem to be In
a disturbed condition down nt ltard
wtil (more commonly called Mum
bocker) again. It seems that Rev. J.
M. Mussina has been holding a series
of meetings down there nt the Evan
gelical church, and it appears that
some of the citizens of that remote
town are not In favor of a minister of
the gospel coming there and trying to
convert some th.t are not on the
straight and narrow path, nnd took ex
ceptions In such a way that the rever
end gentleman appeared before a Jus
tice of the peace and swore out war
rants for the arrest of Thomns Gor
man, Webster Dickson. Robert Stark
and Thomas Stark. The information
chnrges them with wilfully and mali
ciously disturbing the religious meet
ing, and with wilfully, maliciously and
riotously disturbing the peace and
committing a public nuisance. Chief
of Police Piatt from Tunkhannnck was
up and made the arrests, and the young
men were taken before 'Sciuire Kutz,
of Ttmkbanniick, for a hearing and
were held under bail of $200 for their
appearance at cnurt.
J. C. Reynolds' stone qtinrt Is closed
for the winter on account of cold
weather.
Rev. C. C. Luther, of Tlrhlgepnrt,
Conn., Is here for two weeks, nnd has
charge of the series of meetings now
being held at the Haptist church.
In, passing through town the other
day, our attention was attracted to
the windows of Fred L. Foster's store,
so much so that we were tempted to
step Inside, nnd we think we are safe
in saying that there was never so com
plete or us handsome a line of holiday
goods In this town as Fred is pre
pared to serve his customers with from
now till the new year.
There Is on exhibition In the show
window at Manchester's gallery a life
size water color portrait of Stanley R.
Newton, which Is the finest piece of
urt that was ever exhibited in this
town, and tvllects great credit nnd
skill on the part of the artist. The pic
ture and frame is to be presented to
Dr. nnd Mrs. C. R. Newton, parents of
the deceased young man, by the O. C.
society of Keystone academy, of which
Stanley was a member.
At his home In Benton last Tuesday
occurred the death of James C. Gard
ner, of Hrlght's disease. The deceased
was 5!) years old and a brother of p. C.
Gardner, and father of Ira H. Gardner,
of this place. Funeral services were
conducted at the Haptist church In this
place last Thursday at 2 p. in. Inter
ment was made In Evergreen cemetery.
Professor Manchester has already
commenced rehearsals at the Haptist
church for the Christmas music, and
he assures us that this year s Christ
mas music will excel previous occa
sions. Charles Hrown. of Sprlngvllle, Pa.,
was calling on his uncle, James M.
Hrown, of this place, last Thursday.
Edmund Stiles died at his home on
Church street last Wednesday night of
general debility. Air. Stiles' face was
a very familiar one to our townspeo-
Stomach, sometimes called watcrbrash,
and bui'iiinr pain, distress, nausea,
dyspepsia, arc cured by Hood's Sarsa
pnrillii. This it accomplishes because
with its wonderful iower as a blood
purifier, Hood's ui-supnrill:i gently
tones and streitfrtliens the stomach and
digestive organs, invigorates the liver,
creates nil apetite, gives refreshing
sleep, and raises the health tune. In
caVs of dyspepsia and indigestion it
seems to have " a magic touch."
" For over 12 years I suffered from sour
Stomach
with severe pains across my shoulders,
nd great distress. I had violent nausea
which would leave me very weak and
faint, difficult to get my breath. Tbcso
spells came oftener and more severe. I
did not receive any lasting benefit from
physicians, but found such happy effects
from a trial of Hood's Sarsaparilla, that I
took several bottles and mean to always
keep it in the house. I am now able to
do all my own work, which for six years
I have been unable to do. My husband
nd son have also been greatly bene
fited by Hood's Sarsaparilla for pains in
the back, and after the grip. I gladly
recommend this grand blood medicine."

pie, as well as to the surrounding com
munity, he havinw carried a satchel
and peddled small notions as long as
he could hobble around. His age was
72 years and 4 months. The funeral
took place Saturday at the Methodist
Episcopal church. The Masonic order
of this place had charge of the services.
District Deputy Mrs. George Skill
horn, of Scranton. installed the ollleers
of Paulowna Rehekah legree lodge of
this place last Tuesday evening.
Charles Whlttlmore. one of the stu
dents at Keystone 'academy, accident
ally broke his collar bone while skat
ing last Thursday. He has returned
to his home In Scranton till able to at
tend to his studies again.
It Is not often that our town Is treat
ed to military music, but such was
the case Thursday evening, and was
first-class In every respect. Part of
the Thirteenth Regiment Drum corps,
composed of W. H. Hughes, Daniel
Jones. J. L. Hughes, E. D. Richards
and D. H. Hughes came up to take
part In the Grand Army of the Repub
lic services at the funeral of Comrade
James C. Gardner, and on their way
to the train in the evening they dis
coursed some very fine military music,
and previous to their departure from
Hotel Howtll their quartette sang a
few selections of the Grand Army of
the Republic order, which was greatly
appreciated by the old veterans.
Don't forget that any news or pr
sonals left at box 2M. postofllce, will
receive prompt attention and will be
appreciated by the scribe.
It Is nothing more or less than gross
negligence that the town council does
not replace the street lamps that have
been destroyed and are missing on
Main street.
Another "mad dog" scare has come
pretty near striking our town, but it
passed of toward Munibocker, so it
won't live long.

TIRED SALESWOMEN.
EMPLOYERS SHOULD BE MORE
CONSIDERATE.
Interesting statement by a, Young Lady
In ltrooklyn.
In the va-st retail establishments of
large cities, many women are em
ployed as saleswomen.
Men formerly held the positions that
women
vv hold, "Tj
and while I'
women'sor
(ranism is
less strong
than men's
they a re expected to do
the same work. Their duties
compel them to bo on their feet from
morning to night, nnd many of them,
in a short time, contract these dis
tressing complaints called "female
diseases."
Then occur irregularities, suppressed
or painful menstruation, weakness,
indigestion, leueorrloca, general de
bility and nervous prostration.
They aro beset with such symptoms
afl dizziness, faintness, lassitude, ex
citability, irritability, nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, " all-goue "
and "wunt-to-be-left-uloue" feelings,
blues and hopelessness.
In such cases there is one tried nnd
true remedy. Lydiu E. Pinkhttin's
Vegetable Compound at once removes
auch troubles. The following' is a
cample :
" .My dear Mrs. Plnkhnm : After
writing you, nnd before your answer
came, 1 was too miserable to go to the
store, and so lost my position. That
was five weeks ttgo. I urn now back
asrain In my old place, nnd never felt
so well in all my life. The bear-Ing-dowu
pains and whites have luft
me, and I am not a bit nervous or
blue. Life looks brighter to me.
don't iret tired, my temper Is real
sweet, and I could scream right out
sometimes for jo;
Your Vegetable
Compound is
my stand
by. You
don't know
how thank
ful I am to
you for sav
ing me from
suffering.
Every woman In
mv position should know of your won
derful remedy. I ncvr saw you, but
I love, vou for being so good to me.

This store is full of it! The
pleasures of anticipation and getting"
ready are best of all! We do our best
to make this store seem at least a store

an interest in "THE ECONOMY."
We sometimes wonder if the men
who come here were made to lit
