Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Susquehanna, Dec. 15. Near Red Rock, between Susquehanna and Great Bend, can be seen faint traces of the grave of a beautiful Indian maiden, the only daughter of a chief, whose tribe was at one time encamped In this vicinity. She was betrothed to a young brave, a member of her father's tribe. Her father desired her to wed the son of the chief of a neighboring tribe. As the ukase of her patr-nal ancestors usually counted for something she at once resolved to fly to the "happy hunt ing grounds," and one dark night she stole noiselessly out of her wigwam, and with the death song on her lips, dashed herself from the cliff, her life's blood stainine the rocks below, and unto this day they retain their coloring, j and the floods and rains of a century have failed to obliterate It. When her lover saw her mangled corpse by the river's side he lied to a cave In the mountain, where, forty years later, his petrified remains were found by the wandering? remnant of his tribe. Under his body was found the long, black tres ses of his beloved. He was glued to a platform and painted, and today, grand, gloomy and desolate, he stands before a Blnghamton cigar store. POSTOFFICE BURGLARS. At an early hour on Friday morning the Postotlloe in Lanesboro was entered by burglars, who blew open the safe with dynamite and carried off $90 in stamps and cash. The safe was explod ed while a heavy train was passing over the Iron bridge, nearby. Nearly every window In the room was shat tered. The Great Uend pustotHce was robbed on Wednesday night, probably by the same gang. DOO EATS UP A FARM. A Susquehanna county dog has eaten Up a farm and set of buildings. The dog killed a neighbor's sheep. Tin? neighbor offered to call It square If the dog was killed. The dog's master re fused to agree to this, and a lawsuit came next. To pay the costs and dam ages answered by the court the owner of the don had to mortgage his farm for 1600. The mortgage had a bigger appetite than the dog, and soon the farm was sold as the owner had to move away. The dug la now dead. PASSED ON. After a brief Illness, Mrs. William Fitzgerald (nee Cura Carrlngton), died on Saturday afternoon, aged 28 years. The funeral took place this morning from St. John's Catholic church.

The silver prospectors on Elk moun tain are down eight feet, and, as the good old Methodist hymn runs, "the prospects they are so transporting." The Scranton backer of the enterprise is said to have put up $1,000 already "and there's more to follow." The vvoiks are ooened It is presumed, to prevent the drillers from robbing the quarries of the vicinage. Let us hope there's millions in It." By the way, what has become of the South Canaan silver mine? Silence over there is o dense that you can hear It, IN THE COUNTY. At the coming borough election. It Is rumored, that the Poles and Slavs in Forest City will put a full ticket in the field. The postofflce robbery in Great Bend la still the town's talk. Editor Moore, of the Plain-Dealer, hopes to estab lish an alibi. Three Susquehanna county couple are praying the court for a divorce. The fueral of Ferdinand Whipple, an aged and esteemed resident of Mont rose took ulace on Friday. The next county convention of the Patriotic Order Sons of America will be held in Jackson. A Susquehanna county man at dif ferent times, of cou.-se, has married two of his sister-In-laws. It Is proposed to hold a county con vention of postofflce candidates, if a building large enough can be secured to settle the postoffice question. It is paramount. Minor matters, such as the tariff or the currency, can be at tended to later on. TIE AND TRACK. Twenty-three cars of Conductor San ders' Erie coal train were on Saturday morning piled up at Ararat Summit. No one was injured. Traffic was blocked for several hours. The Cooke Locomotive works, of Pat erson, are building eighteen locomo tives for the Erie. The traffic on the Erie continues heavy and trainmen are jubilant. The Delaware and Hudson Jefferson branch employes were paid on Satur day for November. The Erie will make a heroic attempt to stop the tramp nuisance on Its trains. YOUNG BUT VIGILANT. A young married woman near Lanes boro was very much worried during a recent storm. Heis husband had Just purchased a cow and out It in the barn. An soon as it commenced to thunder the lady.rushed wildly to the Kitchen and cried to the cook. "Run. Mary, and shut that stable door. If that cow hears thunder It will turn her milk sour!" SUNDRIES. Adam Jlggs, ot Tuscarora, has disap peared suddenly. When last seen he was driving toward Susquehanna. If he drove into Main street he has gone down to meet McGlnty, and It will be Adam Ions; time before Mrs. Jlggs sees mm again. Miss Cora Tremaln,. formerly of Lanesboro, is a member of the "Grimes' Cellar Door" company. . Mrs. Edgar Thomas, formerly of Lanesboro, has been appointed assist ant matron ot the Florence mission in New York. A number of Susquehanna county young men have shown a strong desire IT CAN'T BE DONE. So Oa Caa Remain Well, If o Chronic Disease Caa Be Cared Valess the Stomach Is First Made Strong and Vigorous. This is plain because every organ in the body depends on the stomach for its nourishment. Nerve, bone, sinew, blood are made from the food which the stomach converts to our use. How useless to treat disease with this, that and the other remedy and neglect the most important of all, the stomach. The earliest symptoms of Indigestion are sour risings, bad taste in the mouth, gas In stomach and bowels, palpitation, all-gone feeling, falntness, headaches, constipation; later comes loss of flesh, consumption, liver and heart troubles, kidney diseases, nerv ous prostration, all of which are the Inirect results of poor nutrition. Any person suffering from indiges tion should make It a practice to take after each meal one of Stuart's Dys pepsia tablets, allowing it to dissolve In the mouth and thus mingle with the saliva and enter the Btomach in the most natural way. These Tablets are highly recommended by Dr. Jennison because they are' composed of the na tural digestive acids and fruit essences which assist the stomach In digesting all wholesome food before It has time to ferment and sour. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by drugfiists, full sised packages at 50 cents. They are also excellent for In valids and children. A book on stom ach diseases and thousands of testi monials of genuine cures sent free by addressing Stuart L'o., juarsnau, hiku. to go to Cuba and avenge the murder of the heroic Maceo. LITTLE ONES.
