All of Monday af ternoon and yesterday was taken up with the presentation of these "ex hibits" and the last is not yet com plete. It looked for a time yesterday ns If a third Jury would have to be empanelled In this case. On Monday, It will be remembered, Charles Stoner, of Scran ton, one of the first Jury drawn, be came 111 after the case had been opened for tho plaintiff, necessitating tho drawing of another Jury and a repeti tion of the plaintiffs' opening. Yester day when court reconvened after the noon recess one of the jurors, Thomas 3ordon, of Carbondule, was missing. GORDON AT'PCAltr.D. After a tedious, and on the plaintiffs' pait. an anxious wait, of nearly an hour, Gordon put In an appearance and took his seat In the box after ex plaining that he was taken suddenly ill at dinner. The case had proceeded hut a short time when Gordon gave signs of being HI again, and not wish ing to go on with the case under this condition of affairs, adtournment was agreed upon until this morning. Judge Kdwards told Gordon that he had bet ter recover from his Illness over night and be on hand In the morning. The case of E. J. Ehrgood aernlnst the Moscow Water company Is still on before Judge Love. The defense was opened during the afternoon by Mr. O'Brien, who said It would be shown that the company in no way decreased the How of tho stream that supplied Hhrgond's mill: that for years before the water coninany tapped the stieam the mill was periodically Idle because of the lack of water, and that the building of the company's dam made no noticeable change In the flow of the stieam or In the operations of the mill. Charles Lancaster, who leased the mill for a year previous and several years subsequent to the building of the com pany's dam, and a number of other residents of Moscow gave testimony along the line of air. O'Brien's state ment. In the cne of Kane & TImony against Fred IJeWltt and others, a claim for plastering work and mater ials, the jury found for the plaintiffs In the sum of $JS.;o, which is $10 less than the full amount of the claim, ItEPLOGLE CASK. The only new case called vesterday whs that of D. P. Replogle, assigned to David T. Williams, against William C. Carey and his wife, Agnes Carey. It is a dispute growing out of dealings the defendants had with Mr. Heclosle as attorney. When they came togeth er in 1S!6 to effect a settlement the defendants confessed Judgment in favor of the plaintiff for $150. They afterwards lepudiated the judgment, alleging that they did not know what they were signing. Tho case teemed with allegations of sharp practices and the like, but Judge Gunstcr ruled that they had no direct bearing on the case at Issue and gave binding lnstiuctlons to the jury to find In favor of the plaintiff, because of a lack of a sufficient defense. C. W. Carpenter and C. E. Olver lepresented tho plaintiff and H. W. Mullholland the defendant. The case of Emily C. Ithule against the Diamond Colliery Accidental Fund was referred to II. C. Reynolds. In the case of the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western Railroad company against H. W. Hull judgment by agree ment was entered for the plaintiff In the sum of $72.41.. Judgment for $25 In favor of the plaintiff wns entered by agreement In the case of Austin MulIIey against Anna Haslam and the Haslam Lime company. There was an accompany ing provl.so that execution should be stayed for thirty days. Rules for interpleaders were made absolute in the cases of Clark Lowry against Harry Depuy, and S. C. Whit man agal. Louis Boyer & Sons and others. ROBY MAY BE BATTLE GROUND. Place Secured for Corbett and Mc Coy.

Jones, of Milton, who was tried at tho last term of su preme court here on the charge of murdering his mother, Sally W. Jones, by poisoning.

Jones and his sisters to have tho body of their mother exhumed, on the ground that the" woman's husband was respon- Iblo for her death. An Investiga tion by the state and county oHtclats unearthed circumstantial evidence agalnnt Alfred, and tho father was not charged with the .ti line. COMAL WILL TRY AGAIN.

The Comal Is now at Key West where she was ordered when the Spanish author ities refused to allow her to land her cargo without the payment by the t'nlted States of a duty to the amount of $00,000 In gold. Unolllclal advices having been received that tho port of ItHhlu Hondo Is opened for relief with out tho payment of duty, Secretary Melklejohn Is now making an Inquiry ns to whether the Comal relief sup plies can bo landed. It has been determined that the evac uation of the Uland will take place first In the west and move eastward, as It Is believed that the relief for the starving Cubans should be landed In the west. Senor Quesada, of the Cuban junta, saw Sccretaiy Melklejohn today and represented tho Ouluins ns being In n sad plight. He Is anxious to have everything possible done for thcin. ITALIANS CELEBRATE. Addresses Listened to in Music Hall and a Picnic Followed in har mony Garden Cause of the Demonstration. Though Italians at home and many In this country have observed year after year the twentieth day of Sep tember with almost religious Intensity, yesteiduy was the first time that the Italians of this city have made any concerted attempt to observe this "day of days" in tho Italian calendar of holidays. The Socleta dl Italia, of which Contractor Frank Carluccl is president, at ranged for tho affair and invited the co-operation of the Prince Victor Emmanuel and the Corana D'ltnlla societies. The members of the above societies formed on Lackawanna avenue near the Roma hotel about 1.30 o'clock and marched about the central city streets. There were about 300 men In the pa rade, each marcher wealing a white yachting cop The Roma band, of Dunmoie, led the procession and played Inspiring music. Peter Cardlello acted as maishal, and nfter the parade nil gathered at Music hall, where a public meeting was held, The platform was decoiated with the national colors, the emblematic flags of the several societies and the Italian Hag. On the platform were seated Italian Consul Fortunata Tlscar, Dr. S. Vlllone, Rev. A. Monteleone. Presi dent Frank Carluccl, of the Socleta dl Italia; President Victor Sartor, of the Victor Emmanuel society, and many other prominent Italians. In the gal lery were the ladles, tho band and non-members of the several societies. President Carlurcl acted ns chairman. Introductory remarxs were made by the chairman. Addresses were made b Consul Tiscar, Dr. Vlllone, Rev, Monteleone and others. Consul TIs car's remarks were very eloquent and elicited much applause. He spoke of the meaning of the affair, the reason why the "Italia" society arranged It, and thanked the other societies for their happy assistance. He referred to the events which occurred on and about Sept. 20, 1870, when Rome was freed from temporal power, and later on Oct. a, was made the new capital of re-untted Italy. In glowing terms he spoke of the great Victoria Emmanuel II, who had led the victorious army Into Home tluough the breach at Porta Pla on that memorable day. It was fitting Indeed to commemorate such an event and honor tho sacrifice of the brave men who made such freedom possible. In concluding, he paid a tribute to this great country of America, its pres ent success and leferred to the past successes when independence was fought for. The other speakers ad dressed the gatheiing in much the same strain. This part of the commemoration fes tivities being concluded, the societies were again marshalled and proceeded to Harmony Garden, wheie appropriate exercises were held during the eve ning. It Is Intended tliat hereafter on each recurring Sept. 20 similar com memoration exercises will be conduct ed by the Italians of this city. PINNED HIS FATHER'S HAND.

GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY The Result of Imperfect Digestion of Food. Every living thing, plant or animal, contains within lteelf the germs of cer tain decay and death. In the human body these germs of disease and death (called by scientists Ptomaines) are usually the result of Imperfect digestion of food; the result of Indigestion or dyspepsia. The stomach, from abuse, weakness, docs not promptly and thoroughly digest the food. Tho result Is a heavy, sodden moss which ferments (the first process of decay), poisoning tho blood, making It thin, weak, and lacking In red corpuscles; poisoning tho brain, causing headaches and pain In the eyes. Bad digestion Irritates the heart, causing palpitation and finally bring ing on disease of this very Important organ. Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, causing Brlght's disease and diabetes. And this Is so because every organ, every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows Itself not only In loss of appetite and flesh, but In weak nerves and muddy complexion. Tho great English scientist, Huxley, said the best start In life Is a sound stomach. Weak stomachs fall to digest food properly, because they lack the proper quantity of digestive, acids (lac tic and hydrochloric) mid peptogenlc products; the most sensible remedy In all cases of Indigestion Is to take after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets, because they supply In a pleasant, harmless form all the ele ments that weak stomachs lack. The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets will cure every form of stomach trouble except cancer of tho stomach. They increase flesh, Insure pure blood, strong nerves, a bright eyo and clear complexion, because all these result only from wholesome food well di gested. Neaily all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 00 cents full sized package or by mall by enclosing price to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., but ask your druggist first. A little book on stomach diseases mailed free. Address Stuart Co., Mar shall, Mich. TAYLOR NEWS. Coming Cantata This Evening's So cialPersonal Mentions.

THE CRY OF CORRUPTION, When It Is Simmered Down It Means Nothing. Colonel W. A. Stone, at Williams' Grove. Our critics claim that the adminis tration of the Republican party tn Pennsylvania Is corrupt. Wherein and In what particular Is it conuptV Inwhat particular has tho Republican party teen unmindful of the rights of tho people of Pennsylvania? They took a bankrupt state, forty million dol lars In debt. They now exhibit It to you with that Indebtedness reduced to very little more than a million dollars, and with tiie Etatc disbursing more than half tho money received from corporations among the counties of the state, thus lifting the burdens of the people. And In addition to that It has taken oft your taxes. This state has not been entirely un der Democratic control Mnco wo came Into possession In 1861. If the Repub lican party Is to be charged with all the mistakes and wrongs of Individ uals, let our critics be fair, let them be manly, let them be hone3t and give the party credit for the good It has done. But you hear no mention made of the wise legislation enacted by tho Republican party In Pennsylvania. Not a dollar has been lost to the state In all these years. Not a dollar collected from lands of the state. Not a dollar collected from trades, occupations, pro fessions. Not a dollar collected from horses and cattle; but collected almost entirely from corporations, and more than half returned to the counties of the state. These wise laws, eo bene ficial to tho people of our state, are entirely incompatible with the purpo ses of any man Influencing or control ling tho party to loot the stale and divert the funds. End of a Romance. "I wish 1 had never met her." "WhyT" "I asked her to write to me. and here's a letter of forty pages." Chicago Record. Tell Me What You Eat and I'll Tell You What You Are." The human ostrich. You'vo seen him probably, in the booth at the fair or circus or on tho platform of tho dime museum. He has toughened his stom ach to tho consistency of leather, and lunches on broken bottles, tacks or ten-penny nails with seeming Impun ity. He doesn't live long, of course, for ho sacrifices life .to earn a lazy livelihood. You would he nmnzed. nprhnnn tn Vie told that you wero something like tho I human ostrich, your diet, and volved. It Is not necessary that you eat glass and nails In order to resemble tills1 monstrosity. The man who plays the part of the human ostrich Is an ex ample of depraved appetite in Its most extreme and exaggerated form. The depraved appetite of the average can didate for dyspepsia does not go far ther than hot bread and biscuit, rich pastries, highly seasoned dishes, and excessively greasy foods. Add to this Improper cooking, haste In eating, and lack of proper rest after a meal, and you have a condition very likely to re sult In disease and suffering. Let It be remembered that the solo object of food lsnutritIon; nutrition not for the body as a whole only, but nutrition for tho varying needs of tho separate parts of the body; for the muscles, the nerves, the brain, the blood. When the stomach is In a state of healthy activity, Nature, by her re markable processes, takes the food you supply, and distributes its starches and sugars, its salts and phosphates according to the needs of the separate organs of the body. When the stom ach Is not In a state of healthy activ ity, Nature does her best, but the va rious dependent organs of tho body are put on short rations. There Is not nourishment enough to supply them properly. WHAT HAPPENS THEN? A weakened stomach. A stomach In capable of performing Its functions fully. The liver and blood-making glands work Imperfectly. The natural result Is that the food Is imperfectly digested and only partly assimilated and the channels of life are choked and stopped by waste and putrescent matter. Some people know where tho trouble Is. They locate It In the stom ach, because they have pain there after eating, an irregular craving for food, or an appetite that eating does not satisfy, Thero Is heaviness after a meal, a feeling of undue fullness. It Is hard to breathe, thero Is such a stuffy feeling about the chest. There may bo palpitation or Irregular action of the heart and the sufferer Imagines ho has heart disease. Perhaps the stomach sours, and there are bitter ilslngs, and belchlngs. These symptoms mark va rious forms and stages of "weak stom ach." They will not all be present In every case or In tho earlier stages of the disease. Any one of these symp toms locates the trouble In the stom ach and the digesttve nnd nutritive functions, which are disturbed. Quito often there Is no apparent con nection between the stomach and the symptoms of the disease. The victim thinks It "liver trouble," heart fail ure, or lung disease. There Is a dull pain, perhaps In the back or the side. The spine aches, sometimes "In spots" and sometimes through Its whole length. There may be a sharp stitch or pain occasionally. Exercise makes the limbs tremble and the heart beat violently. Perhaps to some of theso symptoms there Is added an obstinate, stubborn cough. WHAT IS THE MATTER NOW? It Is another case of weak stomach. But. that Is not where tho pain is. Very likely not. But that Is where the trouble is. The stomach has not been able to properly feed the oigans de pendent upon II. They are starving, they aie weak, and they show their weakness In the aches and pains that afflict the various parts of the body. What will set the stomach right? There Is one remedy practically Infallible In Its results and that one remedy Is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures because It Is made to cure Just the conditions of the stomach which give rise to disease. A COMMON SENSE VIEW. If so many diseases begin In tho stomach and nutritive Bystem, why should not some one remedy be com pounded, which by healing the stom ach would necessarily euro the dis eases of the organs dependent on It? This was the great question which Dr. R. V. Pierce set himself to answer. Then followed a period of profound study of the value of alterative and tonic medicines. The result was Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, a medicine for the btomm.ii and the whole digestive and nutritive system. The soundness of Dr. Pierce's original theory, that diseases which originate In the stomach muBt be cured through tho stomach, has iumy JKpOTi i:"fH X bBSm mil tWlWiil li x JV" " i 'I V-- trKr 'Air 1 - - I'FaAiSrr- In the character of gpSS? J the risk of life In- -iPe-- been proved In thousands of cases, where one or several of tho chief or gans of the body were Involved In wasting diseases, and an entire cure has been wrought by the use of tho "Golden Medical Discovery." By way of proof take the case of Rev. C. L. Mundell, of Plncgrove, Gal lia Co., Ohio. Ho writes: "I suffered from a dreadful feeling and weakness, and In 1803 I lost my health altogether. I went to one of the best doctors In tho. btato and he said I had heart, Rtomach, liver and kidney trouble. His treat ment did mo no good. I tried different kinds of patent medicines but got worse all tho time; was so weak that I could not walk any distance. If I walked up hill or a little fast It seemed ns though my heart would Jump out. I had almost given up nil hope, and my money was all gone. Was scarcely able to make a living. Finally I Baw an advertisement In one of the country papers that for twenty-one one-cent stamps Dr. Pierce Would send one of his 'Common Sense Medical Advisers.' So I sent and got one and began to read concerning diseases like my own. After consulting tho doctor himself, I purchased at my nearest drug store a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and a bottle of his 'Pleas nnt Pellets.' This was In 1897 and now I am In the enjoyment of good health which I attribute to Dr. R. V. Pierce. I am so glad of my health that I can not say too much. I first return my sincere thanks to Almighty God and then to Doctor Pierce." The above Is only a specimen case taken at random from thousands. WHY IT IS SO. In view of the foregoing facts It Is easy to explain why the "Golden Med ical Discovery" Is the best blood puri fying medicine. The stomach supplies the blood. Draw pure water Into a foul cup and If you drink It you drink foul water. No matter how pure the food, If the stomach Is foul you will have foul blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cleanses the blood by cleaning tho stomach, Invigorating the liver and setting the- blood making glands at work. Weak lungs are cured on the same principle. Weak lungs are Inseparable from a weak stomach. A weak stom ach docs not always mean weak lungs, but weak lungs always means a weak stomach. The weak stomach means lack of sufficient nutrition, or tho In capacity of tho stomach to digest the food and distribute tho nutriment to repair tho waste and loss of the body. The whole medical profession recog nizes this fact. Their great prescrip tion for weak lungs and consumption Is a fattening food, condensed and as similable which takes the form of cod liver oil, cither In all Its original nastl ness, or with Its offenslveness modified In some emulsive preparation, The theory Is sound enough. What the body needs Is nourishment. If you could nourish tho body up to the point of aggression agalns't disease It would protect Itself. Somehow cod liver oil and Its preparations never seem to get as far as the weak lungs. They fail because It Is tho stomach that needs healing. Let the lungs alone. If you can cuie tho stomach, Invigorate the liver and set the blood making glands to manufacturing, and start the cur rent of rich, red blood, throughout the system, Nature will take care that It does Its work of building up the body. That Is tho basis of Dr. Pierce's cure for weak lungs, tho condition which by neglect or bad treatment becomes consumption. HOW IT WORKS. How docs tho treatment work In practice? Mr. Noel W. Orvln, of Lang ley. Aiken Co.. S. C, finds that It worked first rate In his case. Ho says: "I was taken sick tn July last year, and was not able to do uny kind of work until November. I had beeen coughing up small hard lumps for nbout a year before I was taken down. I then called on a doctorrwho attend ed me for two months, and said that one-half of my left lung was gone, and advised me to leave my home (Charleston, S. C) and go to the coun try, but did not say what sort of dis ease I had. I thought It was consump tion, and wrote to you for advice; I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery which has done me moro good than all the other med icines I have ever taken," The doctor didn't say what was the matter. But Mr Orvln "thought It was ccnfcumptlon." No wonder he thought S3, when the doctor told him one-half of one lung was gone. But It does not matter what the disease Is called, the faet remains that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has cured thousands of such cases cases where there were night-sweats, hacking cough, emacia tion, hectic flush, labored breathing add great weakness. Call the disease what you please, "Oolden Medical Dis covery" cures ninety-eight out of ev er hundred such cases, These state ments have a twofold claim on your attention If you are a sufferer from g &&M II W 225il "9m ) 'I weak stomach, weak lungs, stubborn, lingering cough, bronchitis, bleeding lungs, or any of these kindred forms of disease which, when neglected or lm-. properly treated, lead to consumption. WILL NOT INEBRIATE. Thero Is one Important feature about "Golden Medical Discovery" which cannot bo too strongly emphasized. It contains no alcohol, or whisky, no opium or narcotics, neither sugar nor syrup which so often disagree with tho weak, dyspeptic stomach. With out any of these things It preserves Its medicinal qualities perfectly and In ntiy climate. It does not create a craving for Injurious stimulants or nar cotic. DON'T BE DECIEVED. If you are convinced that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is what you need, do not allow any designing deal er to palm off a substitute on you un der the specious plea that It Is "Just as good," It he has no respect for your Judgment show him that you have. Any dealer can obtain this great standard remedy for you If you Insist upon It. It nffords him n fair profit.
