EVENTS OF DAY IN
WEST SCRANTON
INTERESTING MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF TRADE.
Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company
Is Willing to Sell a Large Plot
on the West Mountain for Park
Purposes at a Reasonable Price.
Some Social Events That Are to
Take Place Tonight Mrs. Bebecca
Colby Had Two Ribs Broken.
Though last evening's nu '. ' of
the West Side board of tra v as it
postponed omf, tho attendni was
quite large. H, D. Jones pr. ' l In
the absence of President Holme- and
Vice-President Struppler. The r. rtt
question was the main tonic of dis
cussion and Secretary Oliver, who is
common councilman from the Fifteenth
ward, made a short but Interesting
explanation of how this Important mat
ter was being treated In the proposed
bond ordlanance.
Other matters which received some
consideration were n. branch nubile. II-
brary on this side, the viaduct and
tee on parks wan reached. William
Farrell then asked for some Informa
tion In rcfeienee to this question as
covered by the bond ordinance. Sec
retary Oliver stated that the clause
giving "$25,000 toward the purchase o'
a tract of land for park purposes from
me i.ncKawamm iron ana coal com-
pany in the Twenty-first ward" was
lnsnerica upon tne recommendation or i
Park Commissioner Andrew Bedford.
Commissioner Bedford had approach-
ed the officials here of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company for
the purpose of securing land for park
purpose, but had met with n positive
reftnwl along this line. He then tiled ,
the Lackauunna Iron and Steel onv
pany and had better success. The
company's ngent. C. C. Mattes, polnt-
ed out 11 tract of land which tho com-
pany would sell, but only 'for the stlp.
ulated purpose of using It for a park.
This tract lies north of Kevser ave
nue and Is bound on the wept by Jack
son street, north by Newton turnpike,
cast by tho Richard's farm. It l
eighty-seven and one half aetes in
extent. One half, facing on Jackreu
ntrect. Is being plotted for building
lots. This portion they will f?ll for
$17,500 or the whole piece for JL'.VOOO.
If selllns to a land developlns com-
pany for building purposes they would
nsk $70,000. Figuring five lots to tho
acre at tho general price of ?30( a lot,
this would bo a moderate price, so It
seems that tho price asked of the city
is not exorbitant. The tract has about
live acres of n grove, a large pond and
a very substantial farm house, with
out buildings. A good stone wall sur
rounds part of It. It Is good land
and could In a short time be turned
Into a most beautiful park at little cost.
(It wfll bo remembered that this
very site was recommended by the
West Side board and it Is through
the efforts of Its park committee that
Commissioner Bedford made his Inspec
tion. T. Fellows 'Mason moved an en
dorsement of the committee's1 work
and a tender of the board's support
In the matter. The motion carried.
D. D. lvans suggested that some
steps be taken by the board toward
securing a branch of the Albright Pub
lic llbrnry located on this side. Sec
retary Oliver stated that puch a move
ment was on foot already. Judge
H. M. Edwards, Benjamin Hughes and
James A. Kvans, trustees of the Welsh
Philosophical society, have been con
ferring with Librarian Carr toward
having the society's rooms made Into
a branch library. As will be seen by
reference to an Item In nnother column
the branch library is an assured fact.
Concerning the opening of Division
street, from Seventeenth street to
Twenty-second street. City Engineer
Phillips stated that Common Council
man Walker, of the Fifth ward, had
Introduced an ordinance at the last
session of common council directing the
city engineer to give lines and the
street commissioner to remove all ob
structions. The hitch lies in the fact
that this proposed opening runs direct
ly through tho Washburn street cem
etery's western boundary.
The discussion concerning the via
duct matter was general and as tho
board has already put themselves) on
record no positive action giew out of
tho discussion.

A PECULIAR REMEDY".
Sonulliliij About llio New Discovery
tor Curing llyiii'iliu
The Rev. F. I. Bell, a highly ceteem
ed minister residing at Weedsport,
Cayuga, County, N. Y.. In a recent let
ter writes ns follows: "There has
never been anything that I have taken
that has relieved tho Dyspepsia from
which l have sunered lor ten years
except the new remedy called Stuart's
.Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking them
I have had no distress at all after eat
ing and again after long years CAN
SLEEP WELL. Rev. F. I. Pell, Weeds
port, N. Y formerly Idalla, Colo.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets In a re
markable remedy, not only because
It Is a certain cure for all forms of
Indigestion, but because It seems to
act as thoroughly In old chronic cases
of dyspepsia as well as In mild at
tacks of Indigestion or biliousness, A
person has dyapepsla simply because
the stomach Is overworked, all lt,wantfl
Is a harmless, vegetnblo remedy to di
gest the food nnd thus give It the
much needed rest.
This Is the secret of the success of
this peculiar remedy. No matter how
weak or how much disordered the di
gestion mny be, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will digest the food whether
the stomach works or not. New life
nnd energy Is given not only to the
etomach but to every organ and nerve
In the body. A trlnl of this splendid
medicine will convince tho most skep
tical that Dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. The tablets
are prepared by the F. A. Stuurt Co.,
of Marshall, Mich., but so popular
has the remedy become that Stuart's
I Dyspepsia Tablets can now be secured
ut any drug store at 50 cents per
package. Send for the book on stom
