Pleasant Lieut Held Last Night 111
.11 11 vie Hull.
Music hall contained one of tho larg
est and undoubtedly one of the mer
ilest ciowds in Its history last night,
on the occasion of the twenty-eighth
annual hall of the Scianton Lleder
kranz. Two bundled of the younger
people In fancy costume occupied the
dancing lloor and In the gallery and re
tiring looms weie several bundled spec
tatois, including the older folks of the
society who themselves at some time
during the past twenty-eight eais, en
teied Into the fun and frolic of the
carnival.
Last nlfjht's )jall was only exceeed
In elaboiateness by the quaiter-een-tuiy
celebration thiee jears ago when
the society put foith unusual effoits to
have a giand affair. It opened up with
a novel and enteitalnlng olio The
stage was set to show a countij home
The father of the family bemoaned
the hard times, but wisely said that as
long as they weie not suflerlng and
were living In peace and contentment
they should be happy The mother
agieed with them, but the joungest
him evpiebsed lebtlebbtiess and pined foi
some enjoyment. Another son hinted
that It Has, the nisht of the Scianton
Lledeikianz's annual ma:ueiade and
that they ought to go. The father bald
it was Impossible, they should not
think of such a thing He would -like
to go and was sonv to have to deny
his chlldien of this anxiously antici
pated pleasuie, but he had no nieam
to fuinlsh them with costumes and
consequently they would hae to stay
home.
Then there was walllnir and sadness
and the audience seemed to Join In and
sjmpathlze with the disappointed
young people. But while they are In
this soio distiess a Hebtew comes In
and puichabes some cattle fiom the
father ot the house pajing him with
a bag lull of gold. Everybody Is In
high gleee The fathet tells them to all
get lendy and spare no pains In ilg
glng themselves up. Befote letltlng to
prepare for the ball, tho old man, at
his aon'h suggestion locks the money In
the laige stiong box When he goes
off two buiglais enter, dilll a hole
In the strong box and blow the door
fiom Its hinges. But the theft Is fius
tiated and the good people aie not
denied their holiday for out fiom the
box walk the good prince and pilneebs
of the fairies, Edward Elsele and La
Una Schnell. The butglars ate dihen
oif. All the people of tho house como
lushing in followed by the nelghbois
who were atti acted by the uolbe and
just as the pilnce and pilncess leach
the center of the stage the otchebtra
stilkes up and on gota the grand match,
The costumes, as usual, were of all
kinds and descriptions many of them
being llch and not a few quite oilglnal,
"Little Egypt" and tho "Yellow Kid"
being among the newest. The dancing
door was given over to the masquers
until 12 o'clock when they unmasked
and from that time on the spectators
wore pihlleged to participate In the
dances. Bauer's orchestra furnished
the music.
The commltteo In charge of the ar
rangements was composed of Thomas
Spelcher, Frank Becker, Louis Relcheit,
Theoduie W. Kelsel, and Isidor Roos.

complete leport of rllle practice, by Lieu
tenant Herbert B. Cix, Inspector of 1III0
pi.ictlce, for tho season elided Oct. 31,
1SDG, Is presented to tho ofllcers and en
listed men of the Thirteenth regiment
for their Inspection. Everj member of
the leglment wllrexpeicnee a feeling of
pildeand giatltlcntlon that the Thltteenth
has again qualified 100 pel cent, (eveiy
membei), making the ninth ear In suc
ccsblon wo have accomplished this won
derful iccord. Owing to tho veiy strin
gent and additional icqulrements to be
come a "sharpshooter," our number, com
paied with pievlous jcars, Is much le
duced; but wo still have reason to be
proud of our success, for It lequlred much
ptactlco and a sleady neive on the part
of those who seemed the lequlsite 07
points. Our' largo number of "(Irst-olass
marksmen," with a seme above 10 at the
two langes, Is verj gratlfjing, showing
bevond question that we have splendid
material from which to expect now
"sharpshooters "
Tho two matches, "The citizens' uio
phy" and tho "Crack Shot Match," have
been both Interesting and of great bencllt
in developing new skilled marksmen,
which Is essential to the welfare of tho
loglment, If our record for supeilor
mirksmen'hlp Is 'to be maintained New
matches will be arranged for tho coming
season, and It Is earnestly debited th it
everj company In tho regiment will enter
a team nnd honestly competo for the
uilzes offered. With this Incentive new
enthusiasm Is aroused and ccpeit shots
developed. It Is with great hatlsfactlon
tho colonel offer his congratulations to
the command for tho faithful perform
ance of Its duty for the season just ended,
and will expect better results for the
coming season of 1SU7.
In his leport Lieutenant Cox summar
izes the marksmen of the leglment as
follows:

In closing his report the Inspector
sajs:
Tor the coming vcar I would respectful
ly lecommend that more attention bo
given to skirmish llrlng upon oui iange,
that tho men may better le.1111 to Judge
distances and wind, and to moie quickly
handle sights and ammunition. The lack
of biuh piactice this eai lost us two of
the state matches.
I would alw buggost that as the annual
state allowance Is not sufficient to defray
current range espenses from May 1 to
Nov. 1, that tho iange should not bo
opened until June 1.
Under the new conditions for qualifica
tion as sharpshooteis theio ma be great
temptation, in case of falluie, to make
tho necessary sKty-seven with two en
trlo, to tij again General order numbc-i
7, C. S., Is speclllc regarding this matter,
and every olilcer and man who cares for
the good name of his regiment, will be
careful that his returns are strictly cor

Mr. A. W. Sharper, Ct Prospect St.,
Indianapolis, Ind., says: "Gratltudo
prompts me to write that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets completely cured
me fiom Nervous DyspepBla from
Willi h 1 had Buffered for the last
four yeais. I had tried many remedies
without lesults, but am now cuted
and have gained In llesh, sleep well
and have nonu but words of praise for
Stuart's Tablets."
Mis. Sarah A. Skeels, Lynnvlllc,
Iowa: "It has been six months since
I tbok Stuait's Dyspepsia Tablets and
am fully cured. Have not hud a pattlolo
of distress or dllllcltlty since. This Is
in the face of the fact that I had suf
fered fiom Htomach trouble for twen-ty-llvo
yearn and was pronounced In
curable by the doctors."
James Newniestes, Eau Clnlie, Wis,,
says: "Two GO cent packages of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets did 1110 more good
than tiny remedy I had ever before
tried. They hit tho spot with 1110 nnd
I once more have an appetite and can
oat what I please without fear of dis
tress and bloating afterward."
Dr Hnrlandson relates the case of
Miss Helen Sholes of Nashville, who
was cUied of dyspepsia and gained IS
pounds In weight after Buffering from
stomnch trouble for eight years. Tho
doctor uses them In nil stomach troub
les because they are not a seciet patent
medicine, but contain pure pepsin.
Diastase, fruit acids, and vnlunble di
gestives, which digest the food whether
tho stomach works or not, gives It the
needed lest and a cuie Is tho natural
lesult.
Dr. Jennlson says nine-tenths of dis
ease Is caused by indigestion and Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the safest
and best cure, because they arc not a
secret patent medicine, but contnln tho
valuable digestive principles needed by
every weak stomach and a whole box
would not hurt a child, being' ab
solutely harmless.
All diuglsts sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at B0 cents per package.
