M. P. Flynn and 13. J. MeNally, of
Scranton, two of the gentlemen Inter
ested In the proposed Carbondale Steam
Heat and Power company, are In the
city today making a canvass of the
consumers to obtain their views on the
enterprise. When seen by a Leader
man they had covered the principal
portion of Mnln street nnd the majority
of those approached were found to be
favorable to the project.
If plans carry ns contemplated the
work of putting In the system of pipe
I will be done next summer nnd the plant
'Will be ready for operation In the early
fall. The gentlemen have not ap
proached tho city fathers on the sub
ject as yet but expect no trouble in
securing n franchise, as tho enterprise
is considered along the line of a pub
lic Improvement. However, the city
fathers have had some experience giv
ing away franchises and bridges the
one over No. 2S plane being referred
to more particularly and it is not like
ly they will be so liberal In their dona
tions In tho future.
The company will have a capital
stock of $100,000. They expect to lay
pipe over three miles of streets ex
tending from Klver to Washington
street and from Garfield to Eighth ave
nue. The gentlemen at the head' of the
pioject have not yet selected a site for
the plant, but It Is understood that they
have an option on a plot of ground and
building near the Sperl heater works
on Dundaff street.
HUNGRY FOR OPERA.
Cnrbontlnlinim Crnving n .Musical
1'oiiM by Local Talent.
The Leader last evening said then
Is a growing feeling In ihe city that
another opera should be given here in
the spring by our amateur talent. Few
cities of Its size are so gifted mu
sically as Catbondale and this talent
should not now be allowed to remain
(die. The hospital needs funds and a
snug amount could be realized for It
by such a venture. Most delightful
entertainments have been given In the
past and the public are ready for an
other of these successful affalis.
That Is all very true. Carbondallans
are 'craving a musical feast at tho
voices of local talent. What we need
is a leader who can direct the musical
and dramatic efforts. If such cannot
be found divide the work. It wouldn't
bo so satisfactory, but it could be
done.

Dr. S. B. Hartman, President Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg. Co.
Dear Sir: I believe the use of your medicine, Pe-ru-na, to build up
a broken or debilitated system about the best treatment that can be
taken; it adds vigor and lends additional strength; it is certainly one
of the very best medicines in the land.
Respectfully, Ii. J. POCOCK.
Pe-ru-na cures catarrh. It is Dr. Hartman's great prescription for
all diseases of the mucous membrane. Pe-ru-na acts directly on the
nerves, and makes the membranes healthy by regulating the flow of
blood. Where the membranes are healthy there can be no catarrh.
For over forty years Pe-ru-na has stood without a successful rival
as a cure for all catarrhal troubles.
Local treatment of any phase of catarrh is certain to do harm;
indeed the results of it are frequently fatal. The diseases of the
mucous membrane are legion, and the same treatment will cure
Bright's disease (catarrh of the kidneys) that will cure catarrh in
the head, nose and throat. Dr. Hartman's books tell what catarrh
is, how it originates, and how to cure it. They also contain much
that is helpful about the deadly catarrhal diseases. Get Dr. Hart
man's latest book on chronic catarrh. It is mailed on application.

country. I did so for two months and was taking medicine all
the time, but got no relief. My appetite was gone. I began having heart trouble. Dizzy spells
that would get so bad I would stagger when I walked. I was completely discouraged. One
day I was in a drug store to get some medicine. While waiting I picked up a Pe-ru-na Almanac.
The first thing that attracted my attention was: "Not a cure-all, but will cure catarrh." I
thought to myself here Is the first medicine I have ever seen that doesn't cure a dozen
different diseases. I procured a bottle and had not taken half of It when to my joy and sur
prise my head b:gan to get better, the discharge began to dry up. I kept on and have now
taken two bottles; have resumed my work, have a good appetite, no dizziness nor heart trouble,
and have not felt better in ten years. I am now thirty, and I thank God and Pe-ru-na for
the way I feel to-day. I trust I have not intruded upon your time with this long letter, but I
feel so grateful It seems as though I could never stop talking or writing pralso of the medlclno.
And I will be the means of selling many bottles of Pe-ru-na, as all my friends know just how
bad I have been.-RALPII W. CHULIP, La Porte, Ind.
Nearly all the peculiar ills of women arc catarrhal. Pe-ru-na
effects permanent cures of these troubles in a way that is purely
scientific and shorn of mystery, yet appears miraculous to many as it
did to Mrs. A. C. Hildebrand, Milton, N. C, whose letter follows: ,

and I consider it the grandest medicine in the world.
Mine was a noted case in this country and everybody
thought I would die. I never lose an opportunity to praise
your medicine. You may use this letter as a testimonial
and make it as strong as you can. It will be a great pleas,

afflicted as I was, to use your great remedy, as I am sure It
will cure them."

Dear Sir, 1 want to thank you a thousand times for what
your medicine has dono for me. I cannot praise it enough, nor
do I think any one troubled with catarrh, who will try ju one
bottle, can help but see what a wonderful medicine it is. I have,
been troubled with catarrh for the past eight years, and seven
years ago it became chronic. In the last eight years I have taken
enough different medicines, and tried different inhalers, that were
