The Doublo rramo Ilouse of Michael Kilgallon Destroyed. A double frame house belonging to Michael Klleallon, ultuated In the rear of Farview street, raiiRht flro about 4.30 o'clock yesterday morning nnd be fore the firemen reached the scene It had nbout half burned down. Ono side of the house was occupied by Michael Hocan and family, while the other was vacant. The flro originated In the vacant side of tlio house and Is be lieved to be of Incendiary origin, or due to spontaneous combustion. The lat ter belief is strengthened by the fact that a large quantity of straw was stored In that side. Tho Mltchcl company responded to the nrst alarm, but their hose was sev eral feet "shy." The Columblas were called out by a second general alarm and arrived In time to save a part of the building. The somo building caught (Ire again shortly after 11 o'clock and burned nearly to the ground, both companies responding again and extinguishing the Homes in short order.

TUNKHANNOOK. At a meeting of the local executive committee of the Five County Volun teer Firemen's association, held at the office of Hon. A. M. Eastman on Mon day ovenln, the reports of the various committees were heard and the whole DANGER IN SODA. Serious Results Sometimes Follow Its Excessive Use. Common soda Is all right in its placo and indispensable In the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended as a medicine, and people who uso it as such will some day regrot It We refer to the common use of soda to rollevo heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of-people prac tice and ono which Is fraught with dan ger; moreover, the soda only gives tem porary relief and in the end the stom ach trouble gets worse and worse. The eoda acts as a mechanical Irri tant to tho walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are on record whero it has accumulated In the intestines, causing death by inflammation or peri tonitis. Dr. Harlandson recommends as the afest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepaia tion sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepala Tablets. Theso tablets are large 20-graln lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contain the nat ural acids, peptones and digestive ele ments essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest tho food perfectly and promptly beforo it linn time to ferment, sour and poison tho blood and nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he Invariably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets In all cases of stomach derangements and finds them a certain cure not onlv for sour stomach, but by promptly digest ing tha food they create flesh and strengthen the action of the heait and liver. They are not a cathartic, but In tended only for stomach diseases and weakness and will be found reliable In all stomach troubles except cancer of the stomefh. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at SO cents per pack- llttlo book describing all formB of weakness and their cure by addressing the F. A. irshall, Mich. CURES CATARRH Colds, Coutrhs.

Tho commencement exercises of the High school were held in Enterprise hall last evening and were attended by several hundred parents and friends of tho children. From the fact that there has not been a graduating class from the public schools for tho past five years made last night's event of more than ordinary Interest. The hall was specially decorated for the occa sion. In front of the stage was sus pended In largo letters of blue and green the '99 class motto: "We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us." When the curtnln went up at 8 o'clock last evening the stage with its decorations of Hags and bunting and an artistic arrangement of ferns and flowers presented a most pleasing sight. The members of the graduating class were seated in semi-circular form upon the stage and behind them rat the members of the school board. The names of those who composed tho class are: Maggie Davis, Alta Myers, Nellie Boundy, Lizzie Battonberg, Irene Rob erts and Minnie Phillips; George Har ris, Joe O'Brien, Willie Kennedy and George Mycrn. The programme com menced with the Mosaic overturo by nn orchestra of a dozen local musicians, who for some time have been carefully rehearsing under the capable leader ship of Elijah Stephens. They played with exceeding good taste and at the conclusion wero rewarded by rounds of applause. Miss Nellie Boundy deliv ered an essay on "The Power of Influ ence," which contained somo bright and original Ideas on that Interesting subject. Miss Alta Myers' essay on "Mirrors," which followed, was excel lently delivered and won for her many compliments. The Jermyn Glee club, composed of about twenty mixed voices sang tho well known glee "Hall Smil ing Moon," the voices being well bal anced and they sang with much pre cision, their efforts being most pleas ing. To Joseph O'Brien was assigned tho class poem and tho many witty ref erences it contained in reference to the members of the class caused much mer riment Miss Katie McGovcrn sang1 a vocal solo, "Longing," which was re ceived with great applause. Miss Irene Roberts' essay, "The Fascination of the Rare," was carefully prepared and showed considerable merit. Tho Glee club sang "Banner of Beauty" and Geo. Myers delivered the class prophecy, which caused considerable amusement. A selection, "The Minstrel King," by the orchestra, concluded the first part of the entertainment. After the in termission the orchestra played tho "Calif of Bagdad" overture, nnd Miss Margaret Davis, with much ability, de livered tho "Mantle" oration, which was excellently responded to by Miss Millie Osborne. Archie Martin, who possesses an excellent baritone voice, made a decided hit In his singing of "Hero Until Judgment Day." Georgo Harris, in his essay, "A Victorious De feat," showed considerable ability. "Jack Frost." by tho Glee club, was next rendered, after which Miss Eliz abeth Battenberg delivered an essay on "Mlsto," which wa3 well secured. After another selection by the orches tra, William Kennedy, who, If tho last of the class called upon, was decidedly not the least, gave his essay on "Cour age," which was bright and Interest ing. Mr. J. D. Prltchard, secretary of the school board, then presented tho class with their diplomas, and In doing so he made a neat and approprlata speeeh in which he alluded to tho pleasure tho occasion gavo him. Tho exercises wero closed by another se lection by the orchestra. It must bo a matter of sincere pleasure to Professor Rogers, principal of the school, that last night's exercises pasted oft so pleasantly and the large class of grad uates did him honor. Tho death of Mrs. Griffiths yesterday, under such painful circumstances aa mentioned In another column of this paper.caused profound sorrow through out the borough yesterday afternoon. The deceased woman had been a resi dent of this borough for tho past thirty yeats and she was beloved by all who know her, nnd by her death the com munity haa lost an estimable woman.

Tho report that has been given out that tho Ontario and Western man agement dlsapolnted tho Masonlo fraternity on Saturday evening in not running a train to Hancock as pre-arranged, has caused no llttlo comment. The Ontario and Western management is not responsible for the trains not runntnr;, nor tho eleventh hour notlco given out by the Masonlo fraternity. Tho train was chartered for $150 and n general canvass mado up and down tho valley. On account of Its being Sun day night, i'ith a circus at Carbondula and many working on first of month business, it was found that forty men wero nil that could bo mustered. This would bring tho transportation up too high for those desiring to go, and tho commltteo advised the Ontario and Western management that the special train would bo abandoned.
