Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
Tunkhannock, June 18. For some
time past the question of a soldiers'
and sailors' monument for Wyoming
county, to be erected on Court House

ment has been sanctioned by the proper
parties, and it is now stated that the
commissioners have let a contract for
a $3,000 monument. That the majority
of the taxpayers throughout the county
are Indignant over the affair it is use
less to say. The county is at present

DEAD ON THE TRACKS.
Body of George Warga Found with a
Frightful Wound on the Head and
Two Cuts on the Face.
Wllkes-Barre, Juno IS. The dead
body of George Warga, aged 45 years,
was found on the Delaware and Hud
son railroad below the Traction com
pany's bridge at Smlthvlllo early this
morning and from tho nature of the
Injuries from which he died, It looked
as though h'e had been foully dealt
with.
Warga was employed as a laborer on
the gravel train of the Delaware and
Hudson and boarded with Gcoige
Shlmko In what is known as the Red
row at Smlthvlllo. Warso. was given
his pay check yesterday afternoon and
after his day's work was done last
evening ho started for Pittston to have
the check cashed, at least h'e told his
boarding boss he was going to Pitts
ton for that purpose. That was the
last seen of him alive. At 4 o'clock
this morning his dead body was found
on the tracks at the point stated.
An examination revealed beveral
frightful wounds. On top of the head
Is a gash large enough to place one's
fist in and which looks as though a
piece of the skull had been gouged out
with some unknown Instrument. At
the right side of the mouth are two
large cuts which seem to have been
made with a knife. No Injury of any
kind was found on the arms, body or
legs, which leads those who are making
Inquiry into th'e matter to conclude
that Warga was murdered and his
body afterwards placed on the tracks
to establish the theory that ho had
been run over and killed by a train.
This, however, doesn't seeni possible,
on account of there being no injury to
the arms, body or legs. Near the 3pot
where the body lay two bricks covered
with blood were found and In a pocket
of tho dead man's trousers was $15,
which would indicate that if Warga
was murdered, the crime was not com
mitted with intent to rob.

Inflammatory Ithciimntism Cured in
U Days.
Morton I). Hill, of Lebanon, Ind.,
says: "My wife had Inflammatory
Rheumatism in every muscle and Joint,
her suffering was terrible and her body
and face were swollen almost beyond
recognition; had been In bed for six
weeks and had eight physicians but
received no benefit until she tried MYS
TIC CURB FOR RHEUMATISM. It
gave Immediate relief and she was able
to walk about in three days. I am sure
it saved her life." Sold by Carl Lo

MOVING LIVELY NOW
As stated w'uen v,c opened ths High Grade SlllJTim RllgSalC, vie
were afraid that c would find it hard to move these expensive goods,'
even at half prlc:. We confess to making a mistake, for we've never
had livelier selling In any department than has been the case with
these nigs at just fifty cents on the dollar. True, they arc an unpre
cedented bargain bargains that could not be duplicated, were it not
that Kerr, Son & Co. 's stock was bought at Sheriffs Sale at less than
half price. The same remarks, of course, apply to our high grade
Carpet stock, from which we can sell you the best Body Brussels
Carpet made as low as 50 cents per yard, but it's Smyrna Hugs we're
talking today, and if you're interested, pardon us for saying that it
will he lo your advantage to call, for
HALF PRICE OPPORTUNITIES
Don't come often in that Hue, and the full range of sizes won't hold
out much longer. Three illustrat'ons in values will suffice: Thcj
represent the first quality of Smyrna Rugs made: Size 18x36 in., thai
usually brings $1. 75, sells for 87 cents. Size 30x60 in., listed at $4.25,
sells for $2.12. Size 6 ft. xo ft., for small rooms, that sold for $23,
goes at $11 50. There's lower grades if you want them, sizes 30x60
inches, at 1.50 and $1.75 each.
