you can shako tho Ague by using
AVER'S AGUE CURE. It is tho
one certain and infallible euro for
that depleting disease. It has been
tried in many countries and under
various conditions, and has never
been known to fail. An old veteran
writes:
"You may le interested to know my ex
perience many years ago with Ayer's Ague
Cure. The year before the war I was in
Kansas. Some twenty of us were engaged in
farming, and suddenly all were taken with
fever and ague. We tried almost everything
without getting any help, till at last I sent to
tho city and procured a bottle of Ayer's Ague
Cure. I recovered at once. The others fol
lowed my example, and they, too, recovered.
Every one in camp took the remedy and was
cured by it. I went all through the war,
have lived in thirteen different states of the
Union, and have never had the ague since."

New Haven, Conn., Sept. 13. The at
tendance at the national bicycle ince
meet in Elm City park was 3,000. Tho
time in tin- professional events was
slow, and Bald's non-appearance caus
ed disappointment.
In the half-mile amateur handicap,
which was made in one minute Hat, a
new world's competition recoid was
established. The one mile national
championship was run off In four trial
heats, In which Tom Cooper, has been
freemen. Arthur Gardiner and Major
Taylor finished first respectively.
In tho final Taylor took the pace
from tho statt and held It to the finish
and won out.
The two-mile handicap professional
was uin oft" In two heats, with Gardner
rnd Major Taylor as scratch men.
Seven men iiualirled in each heat, and
Gardiner failed to get a place In thu
flist heat, ns ho dropped out nt tins

In tho slow time of 4.41 4-3. The second
heat was made In 4. IS 2-5, and the

aged to get out of the bunch and came
In sltth. In the final there was con
siderable loafing which wns temedled,
however, on the stretch, when there
was a magnificent spurt, In which Ma
jor Tayloi again displayed Ills speed
and crossed the tape less than a
wheel's length ahead of the leader.

feels secure in his title of world's
champion welterweight and he bellovps
the match Is nothing less than an op
portunity for him to pick up nt least

carefully prepared for the effort as ho

Father Seeks Damages from Hotel
keeper for Death of His Son
Who It Is Claimed Died
from Alcoholism.
An Interesting suit, the first of its
kind ever tried in Lackawanna county,
Is being honrd in tho arbitrators' room
by a board consisting of Attorneys
Thomas P. Duffy, B, F. Tlnkham and
J. C. Manning.
It Is nn action under the law making
liquor dealers responsible for any dam
ages that may result from their viola
tion of the lnw.
The plaintiff is George F. Smith, of
Fulls, Wyoming county, and the defen
dant William Cuslck, proprietor of a
hotel on West Market street, in the
Third ward. It Is alleged that the
plaintiff's sixteen-year-old son, Herbert
Smith, was given drink nt Cuslck's ho
tel when he was already Intoxicated
and that he died from the effects of It.
Damages In tho sum of $10,000 are ask
ed. On December 3, 1897, the Smith hoy
drove to Scranton for a load of coal.
He became intoxicated in town and
on the way home, it Is alleged, went
Into Cuslck's and was served with a
glass of beer. He staggered out of the
hotel, is it charged, and as he was
about to unhitch his team dropped to
the ground unconscious. He was as
sisted home by other teamsters who
happened along and died four hours
later.
Two of these teamsters swore that
young Smith was drunk when he went
into Cuslck's and that he drank a glass
of beer there. Dr. J. W. Dennlson. of
Tunkhannock, coroner of Wyoming
county, and Dr. W. M. Kress, of Falls,
testified that to the best" of their
knowledge alcoholism was the cause
of the death. The coroner's Jury sim
ply said it was hoait failure. The
cross-examination disclosed that no au
topsy was held.
The defense will be a denial of the
allegation that young Smith secured
drink at Cuslck's. The bartender will
testify that Smith came tn with some
others and that when It was seen that
he was Intoxicated ho was refused
drink. It will nlso be argued that It
Is not established that death wns due
to alcoholism.
Vosburg and Dawson represent the
plaintiff and O'Brien and Kelly the de
fense. TO RE-DISTRICT OLD FORGE.
Second District Wants to Annex
Some of Territory of the First.
A petition was presented in court
yesterday for the enlargement of the
Second district of Old Forge Township.
The petitioners want to taku In the
villages of Sibley, Austin Heights and
Rush Patch, now a part of the First
district.
The Second dlstilct has only forty
votes while the First district has over
six hundred. It will be a benefit to
the First district to relieve it of some
of Its voters. It is claimed, because the
election board cannot handle the vot
ers, it being no unusual thing for one
hundred and fifty men to be turned
away from the poles on the evening of
election day.
