WILL VISIT THIS CITY.
Dr. Vf. C. Webb, D. D., aecretnry of
the atato Evangelical Alliance, will
vlalt this city In the near future. Tho
following circular Issued by the pastor
Is self explanatory: We tho under
signed pastors request our congrega
tion to unite their Thursday night ser
vices In a meeting to bo held nt tho
auditorium of tho First Presbyterian
church at 7.30 o'clock. The meeting
will be addretsed by Dr. Webb, of Phil
adelphia. It Is hoped a large atten
dance will welcome him.

W. A. needier, It. A. Sawyer, P. S.
Joslln and Charles Leo. An adjourned
meeting of the ministers' nlllanco will
bo held In the Presbyterian lecture
room on Thursday nfternoon at 3
o'clock for the purpose of conferring
with the Philadelphia divine. No doubt
n large congregation will greet him on
Thursday night.
SCHOOLS OPEN.
The public schools opened yesterday
In this city with an unusually large at
tendance. There are many pupils com
ing In from tho nuhurbi for the ensu
ing term. JIIss Holand's room In tho
central building Is so overcrowded that
It will necessitate the removing of some
of the pupils to No. 3 school. This will
probably be followed by objections on
the part of the scholars, who for some
reason like to be considered as attend
ing the Men fcchool, while In reality
they aro in tho same grade as they
will be at No. 3 building. Miss Lee did
not report yesterday, owing to tho
serious Illness of her aunt, with whom
she resides. Miss Katie V. Kelly filled
her position and will continue to do so
until Mls3 Lee reports. The weather
was bo warm that It may be respon
sible for keeping a number of students
away who will enroll later In the sea
son, Such, at least, Is generally tho
caso each year.
A MOllPHINE FIEND.
A local paper tells a pathetic, but
somewhat magnified story, of the Buf
ferings of a morphine fiend who wai
found wandering around the street
one night last week. The man was
a "hobo" and claimed to be a phy
sician and was about begging of the
vaiious medical men of the city for a
bmall supply of opiate to which ho
v an enslaved.
tie found a physician who took pity
on him nnd injected some of tho drug
;ntn his system. The fellow grew talk
ative under Its Eoothlng influence and
told a. plausible story which, however,
soupded much like fiction. Ho stated
ho was a graduate of Ann Arbor, Mich
igan, and had practiced medicine for
fjlght years in Ogdensburg, N. Y. Ilia
general make up would make one be
lieve him a common tramp, but his
language showed him to be of more
than oidlnary intelligence.
SPOONEES NEXT WEEK.
The popular troupe of Spooners wjll
hold forth at the opera house all next
week In a number of new plays. They
have always drawn large houses while

James Mason, the city's fast sprinter,
has accepted a challenge from James
Collins, the champion runner of Hazle
ton, and will race him at that place
the latter part of the month. Mr.

not make the time expected, taking
third money In the 2.15 class, Nellie
B captured first money In the 2.28 class.

WHOLESOME ADVICE.
For Feoplo Whose Stomachs Are
Weak nnd Digestion Poor.
Dr. Harlandson, whose opinion In
diseases Is worthy of attention, Bays
when a man or woman comes to mo
complaining of indigestion, loss of ap
petite, sour stomach, belching, sour
watery-risings, headaches, sleepless
ness, lack of ambition and a general
run down nervous condition I advise
them to take after each meal ono or
two of Stunrt's Dyspepsia Tablets, al
lowing the tablet to dissolve In the
mouth, and thus mingle with tho food
eaten. The result is that tho food is
speedily digested before It has time to
sour and ferment. These tablets will
digest food anyway whether the stom
ach wants to or not, because they con
tain harmless digestive principles,
vegetable essence, pepsin and Golden
Seal which supply Just what the weak
stomach lacks.
I have advised the tablets with rcat
success, both In curing Indigestion and
to build up tho tissues, Increase flesh
In thin nervous patients, whose real
trouble was dyspepsia and as soon as
tho stomach was put to rights they
did not know what sickness was.
A fifty-cent package of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets can be bought at any
drug store, and as they nre not a
secret patent medicine, they can be
used as often as desired with full as
surance that they contain nothing
harmful In the slightest degree; on tho
contrary, anyone whose stomnch Is at
all deranged will find great benefit
from tho use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. They will cure any form of
stomach weakness or dlscaso except
cancer of the stomach. Full size pick

George Kimball, of Carbondale, was
a caller In town yesterday.
The school board met In regular
monthly session last evening. Bills
were paid as follows: Parke & Stour,
repairs, $12.25: Eagan & O'Donnell, re
pairs, $4.01; Electric Light company,
CO cents; J. M. Alcott, for supplies,
$197.92; R. L. Myers & Co., books, $9.C0;

Co., books, $8.C1; American Book Co.,
books, $14.40; Jess Snyder, repairs,
$6.20; freight and expiess on books,
$1.80; P. E. Timlin, attorney, $15. Dr.
Davis was present and asked if the
board would explain why they paid
$41.34 more for their supplies than he
offered to furnish them for. He said
that he had never been used by any
board as he had been used In this mat
ter. He read a list of articles and
compaied his price with tho price paid.
Mr. Prlchard answered the doctor In
a spirited manner and tried to explain
to him how it was done. The doctor
then stated how he came to know that
they were to purchase supplies when
they did. He said It was quietly told
to him by a friend, or he would not
have known It, and he thought from
tho manner in which the whole
business was transacted that pos
sibly somebody wanted their fingers
"greased" on the deal. Mr. Prltchard
wanted the doctor to understand that
he was not in the habit of having his
fingers "greased," and that ho could
not be bribed either. After some fur
ther talk the matter was dropped.. The
auditors' report for last year, as cor
rected by the auditors, was read nnd
accepted. The bill of Geoige L. Dunn,
F. L. Depew and A. Walkey, auditors,
for making a corrected report, was re
fused payment, as it is said that they
had their pay from the council long
ago. The question as to whether or
not tho election of Mr. GIbhart was
legal was discussed and finally drop
ped, some of the directors claiming
that It was and others that It was
not. Visiting committee appointed by
Chairman Mellow for September, A.
F. Gebhart, J. T. Williams and J. G.
Nicholson. It was decided that teach
ers must fill out their report each
month before they get their pay.

OUR COUNTRY VINDICATED.
Some Things That Foreigners Cannot
Hereafter Say Against Us.
From Gunton's Magazine.
This war has demonstrated the In
herent soundness of American civiliz
ation and institutions. During recent
years there has been a growing con
viction both at homo and abroad that
the republic was coming under the
yoke of evil influences and was slipping
back from the high standards of Its 1
founders; that we were given over to
sordid materialism; that the American
spirit was dead; that our military and
naval establishments were ineffective
bungles, and that the will of the peo
ple no longer controlled public poli
cies. In three short months these
voices have become silent, and now
others are heard, frankly admitting
what true American patriots have
steadfastly maintained, that under
neath many surface disturbances the
current of national life has all the
time been running deep, strong and
true. English crltlclcm has changed
to respect and warm admiration, whllo
the dislike of continental Europe Is at
least no longer expressed In sneers.
Thlfa war has shown to tho world that
Instead of having sunk Into gross
materialism we nie capable of making
vast sacrifices purely for the sako of
a moral Ideal; that our citizen sol
diery Is as safe a reliance as the stand
ins armies of Europe, that our navy
Is only excelleed by two others; per
haps, In tha world; that public opin
ion does control American policies, ev
en to the great issues of war and peace.
The American spirit has vindicated It
self alike in heroic valor and magnani
mous courtesy to the conquered, and in
a series of naval victories unparalleled
for dash and brilliancy In history.
SHAFTER A GOOD SHOT.
His Joke on the Colonel in Command
of a Rival Regiment.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Colonel Thomas II. B4rry, adjutant
general to Major General Otis, before
leaving for Manila told a good story
of Major General Shatter's shooting in
the days when he was a colonel on tho
Mexican border. A day before he took
ship for the Philippines Barry, with
Brigadier General Hughes and a Chron
icle representative, discussing Shatter's
gallantry before Santiago, said:
"I was Shafter's aide years ago when
we both were bronzing under the hot
test sun that shines in the states,
Shafter was known as the best shot,
not only in his regiment, but in the
whole country about. Ono day an offi
cer from another regiment not ac
quainted with Shafter's ability in this
lino visited the post and soon made It
apparent to us that he esteemed him
self about as expert a marksman as
ever pulled a trigger. We. secretly
laughed at his opinion of himself, and
whispered to each other: 'Just wait
till Pecos Bill gets after him.'
"Well, his time came. One morning
Shatter and I started out to ride forty
miles or more to another post, and the
visitor asked to be allowed to accom
pany us. We trotted along easily un
til about noon, when we halted to eat
our luncheon, which we packed with
us. At that time officers carried short
carbines on such services, and I had
one strapped to my saddle. The con
versation drifted from the topography
of tho country to marksmanship, and
the officer call him Smith said: 'Say,
Colonel, have you got any shots in
your regiment:'
"Shafter smiled and replied: 'Have
I? Why, I've got some men that can
discount the sharpshooters you read
about officers, too. I'm not much my
self, but when you get back to the fort
I'll tell a few of the good ones to show
you a thing or two.'
"Just then an antelope sprung up a
quarter of a mile away, and nil, see
ing It at tho same moment reached for
their carbines. Shafter was the quick
est and In a second adjusted the Blrhts
to 600 feet nnd blazed away, Down
came Mr. Antelope and when we rode

up to, where he lay wo Tound a bullet
over his heart.
"Smith examined tho wound, looked
over the carbine and then muttered,
halt aside: 'Not bad. You say you're
not in it with other ofTlcer3 in your
regiment colonel?'
" 'No' said Shafter, 'I'm ashamed of
myself alongside of them.'
"A couple of hours later another an
telope appeared, but further away.
Smith fidgeted a moment, and then
said, eagerly: 'Colonel may I go after
him?'
" Pshaw! You wouldn't chase him
on horseback at that distance,' said
Shatter, seizing his weapon and level
ling as he spoke. Til put lead in his
head.'
"He fired and we saw the animal
bound away. Smith was gleeful. 'A
little high colonel.' he shouted as wo
galloped on. Tteachlng the plac where
the game had been, we were on a high,
rising piece of ground, and looking
down f.fty feet, Shafter pointed to a
dark object and asid: 'I guess I got the
head.'
"Sure enough the antelope was lying
dead with a bullet through his left ear.
Smith looked as disgusted as any man
I ever saw.
"'nd the officers are better?' he
queried.
"Shafter's eye twlngled. 'Lieutenant
Smith,' he replle'd with assumed stern
ness 'I want you to say nothing ot
this nt the post. I ought to have hit
him in tho eye, and I feci ashamed of
my poor aim.'
"Smith, who had no sense of humor,
was dumbfounded. For years after he
spread the fame of Colonel Shafter as
a marksman far and wide."
ARMY SED TAPE.
Here is an Example of it That is
Instructive.
From Harper's Weekly.
A good deal of trouble has been
caused by the red-tape system prevail
ing In the army, but this system Is not
to be charged to the medical depart
ment, although It Is responsible for
much, or to any executive department.
It comes from the disposition of con
gress to Interfere in every administra
tive function of the government. The
result of this interference is that not
a dollar can be expended, and not a
bit of the property of the government
used, without following certain minute
directions contained in statutes, exoept
at the aersonal risk of the man pri
marily responsible. An instance of the
petty character of congressional Inter
ference In administrative functions Is
furnished by a story, which we have
recently heard, of an officer who hired
a tug In an emergency for the purpose
of hauling Into the stream a ship that
was on fire, and which threatened
some very valuable government stores
upon the wharf, which were In his
charge. This was Illegal that Is, un
statutory on the part of the officer,
who, under the law, should havo ad
vertised for bids for hauling out the
vesbel. The consequences to him were
very unfortunate. He paid the cap
tain of the tug out of his own pocket,
and a grateful country meaning con
gressdid not appropriate the money
to repay him until two years had gone
by.
