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.

THE ELK MOUNTAIN MINE.
The silver prospectors on Elk moun

good old Methodist hymn runs, "the
prospects they are so transporting."
The Scranton backer of the enterprise

"and there's more to follow." The

barn. An soon as it commenced to
thunder the lady.rushed wildly to the
Kitchen and cried to the cook. "Run.

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.

of the heroic Maceo.

New York, Dee. 13.-Speculatlon at the
Stock Exciais during the morn n, was
as lanw ani uninteresting as tv-r and
the broker generally were lamenting iiw
absence of orders. At the start Suitar
ran oft quickly from 112 to 111 and this
led to recessions In the general list of b tc
U per cent., but the losses were soon re
covered. The rally, small . as It was
seemed to bring business to a standstill,
showing clearly that the sentiment In the
room was In the main bearish. Tin Inor
dinate dullness finally Induced a few of the
leading professions to test the market.
They raided Sugar, then Manhattan, and
meeting with success in these two stocks,
soon extended their Held of operations. In
the late dealings sugar displayed some
thing like Its old-time .activity and the
stock broke from 112 to 110H- It ruliled,
but there was a fresh supply of stock, un
der which It again yielded to and closed
at lU'i,. net loss for the day of li's per
