A woman free from catarrh of some organ Is a rare case. Catarrh spares no part. A mucous discharge means catarrh and It also means waste, weak ness nnd complete wretchedness.

The Carbondale Leader of last even ing says: "Again Carbondale 'cyclists are called upon to assist tho energetic wheelmen of Jermvn in their laudable enterprise, the building of side paths similar to the ono Just completed be tween that town and Archbald. One who has not enjoyed a ride through tho pretty river bottom. In which the path Is constructed, cannot appreciate Its beauties, while those who have, pro nounce It a veritable wheelman's para dise. At convenient Intervals rustle benches have been placed in shaded portions nnd the requisite spring of clear, cool water Is always near by. There are railings of white birch along the raised portions of the path to guide the 'after dark' wheelman, as well ns whitewashed cobble stones along each edge of tho path all the way, which answer the same purpose. "Suitable drains have been construct ed to carry away the surface water, which would otherwise Impair the path, and the route is one selected so that the most shade and lenst grade Is ob tained for riders of the 'silent steed.' "The wheelmen to whom the 'cyclists of the valley are indebted for this charming roadway are partly the Twentieth Century Bicycle club, of Jennyn, and there benefit will consist of a social and dance which will be given on Friday evening In Enterprise hall.

Although he advertised his loss, he heard nothing concerning It until a few days ago, when his son. Tiny, who was wheeling to Lake Chap man, came upon a fellow-wheelman who was stnndlng alongside the road, repalrng some slight disarrangement of his iieel. Tiny stopped to converse with the stranger a few moments and wns asked by the man If he knew of anyone who had lost a charm. Tiny, of course, said that his father had, and. giving a description of the rlinrm, the man who found It fliw that It wns the one lost by Mr. McLaughlin. The lat ter recovered It the following day from Mr. Boylan. of Archbald, who found It. Strange to say, It wns picked up within less than a hundred yards from Mr. ! McLaughlin's home. The charm Is a valuable one. and the owner wns much plensed on regnlnlng It. The funeral of the late Thomns Kvnns, who died on Sunday last nt Mnntdale, took ptnee yesterday after noon. Services were held In the Con gregational church by Rev. Edwnrd Jenkins, assisted by Rev. Benjamin P..

There was a special meeting of Tri ton Hose company called on Monday evening for the purpose of discussing a proposition from tho Queen city lec ture bureau, of Buffalo, to put in i course of lectures at this place for tho benefit of the company. Owing to the work on hand In connection with tho coming of tho firemen's convention " was not deemed wise to undertake anything of the kind at present. Steps are being taken to reorganize the old Triton base ball team and games will be arranged with some of the nearby teams. Tunkhannock has been without a representative ball team for a year now. but with the material ut hand n first-class teum should be organized. WYOMINO SEMINARY. The seminary buildings are undergo ing extensive repairs. The rooms In the dormitories are being painted and papered. Now window casings und new lloors nro nlso being Introduced to many of tho rooms. All these will greatly add to the convenience and at tractiveness of the seminary. The Nelson house, the former homo of the late Mrs. Reuben Nelson, and some years ngo presented by her to the seminary, is being remodelled for the use of President Sprnguo and his fam ily. Gas nnd hot wnter nie belnij put In. The house will be entirely nanered and painted, and many other Imp-ove-ments will bj made throughout. Pro fessor Howlnnd will occupy the rooms In Swetlan hall formerly occupied by Dr. Sprague and family. The faculty for 1R9H-1S0O will be the same ns last year with but two ex ceptions. Miss Louise R. Jewett. who has been for some time the Instructor In chnrge of the art department, has resigned lo uccept a similar position In the school preparatory to Wellesley college, AVellisloy, Mass. Miss Jew ett's sister Is a teacher at Wellesley and the new position will bring the two somewhat together. Miss Jewott's resignation was accepted with much regret by the seminary trustees, who found It dltlleult to find a substitute. They have solved tho problem, how ever, In the election of Miss Helen Jnckson, of Englewood, N. J, which oc curred nt a recent meeting of the com mittee. Miss Jackson secured her pre liminary training In tho School of Ap plied Design in New A'ork. She after ward taught In the school in New Jersey. At the present time she Is sludylns nrt In one of tho foremost "chools in Paris. The seminary is to be congratulated In seeming this most capable successor to Miss Jewett. Tho other change that will occur In the faculty will be the creation of a chair of English composition and letter writing. While th"So branches have always received due attention in the seminary curriculum, the Increasing demand for well trained young men and young women along thoe particu lar lilies has made it necessary for the trustees to enable students to lecelve training from a specialist. Professor Theron G. Osborne, a former well known newspuper man, recently a very successful teacher nnd a writer of proso and poetry of no small talent, lias been secured to devote Ills- atten tion to this new department. Miss Emma AVllllams, who grndunted high In her class at tho seminary four years ago, and who this last Juno finished a college course, has gone to teach nt the Centenery Collegiate In stitute, Hnckettstown, N.

SUDDEN DEATH FROM HEART DISEASE A Prominent Merchant Suildcnly Kxplrcs While nt Ills Place oflJiislness. How frequently we see the aboveor smllar nnouueements, People are full of pity for the family of tho man so suddenly nnd sadly stricken. They say, how terribly sudden! AVhy. I saw him yesterday nnd he looked good for thirty years.' Exactly! The bridge nt Ashtabula looked good for fifty years the dny before tlin great nccldent. Great trnins run In safety along tho trembling trestles which In a few more hours were to collapse In a fear ful fall. The Iron In them had been gradually dlslntcygrntlnff for ycntB. The death of this man wnn no more sudden than the fall of the bridge. Kach had the strength slowly under mined. And like tho bridge, when the man's strength reached Its minimum resisting capacity down he went. There's a fact for public considera tion. One form of disease Is rarely responsible for u premature death. Time nnd time ngaln the doctor In nt tendence on the man suffering from typhoid or other fover says, "I could have pulled that man through If It had not been for hl weak stomach." And that "weak stomach" Is the one ever present danger to the business man. He has his warnings. Time and again his stomach cries out, re volting nt the food given It, perhnps ejecting It forcibly. Time und ngaln he gasps nnd clnps his hnnd to his heart when It gives a sudden, suffo cating leap. Time and again, when his starved nerves have protested by head ache, neuralgia, or ome other form of pain, he has thought he must get medical treatment. And when his wife finally says, pleadingly, "My dear, do get something for your neu ralgia," or "A'ou must do something for your stomach" what does he do? He just stops Into a drug store as he goes down town nnd gets something In the tablet form which dulls his pair., nnd permits him to keep at work, but which docs not oppose n straw In the w-ny of the dlsense. Thus the undei minlng process goes on until the col lnpse comes, with Its shock to the fam ily and surprise tn the friends. THE AVARNINOS. The first necessity of every man Is to heed the warnings Nature gives, that this undermining process Is going on In his system. A stomach weakened by abuse, gorged wltn over eating or oyer burdened with hot bread, too rich or greasy foods or tnose too highly seasoned, becomes weakened and falls to thoroughly digest the food. A heavy sodden mass Is accmmuluted In the stomach to ferment as the first step In Its decny, giving off. foul gusses to distend the stomach, und poison the blood, until It becomes thin, weak and lacking in tho red corpuscles so neces sary to perfect health. The tiver distended stomach presses upon the heart, and the latter organ Is also disturbed through sympathy, the same system of nerves being distribut ed to both organs Thus palpitation and Irregular action of tbe heart with Its attendant shortness of breath, result, nnd In -time, disease of the heart Itself is established. The gases nnd other poisons generat ed from undigested, fermenting and decaying food In the stomach becloud the brain, causing hea.laches, and pain In the eyes. Belnc absorbed Into the blood these poisons reach every part and organ of the system. The kidneys are thereby poisoned, causing Blights disease and diabetes. Filtering through the skin, troublesome skin disease often shows themselves. As eveiy organ ami every nerve de pend on their nourishment anil renewal unon the stomach, weak digestion shows Itself not alone In loss of np netlte and Mesh, but also In nervous ness, debility, bad complexion and many other deransements. Some people know where the trou ble Is. They locato it In the stom ach, because they have pain there after eating, an Irregular craving for fond, or an appetite that eating does not satisfy. There Ib heaviness after a meal, n feeling of undue fullness. Perhaps tho stomach souris. and there ait- bitter risings, and belchlngs. These symptoms mark various forms and stages of "weak stomach." They will not all bo present In every cabe or In the earlier stages of the disease. Any ono of these symptoms locates the trouble In the stomach and digestive nnd nutritive functions, which are disturbed. The only way to properly heed these warnings Is at oncp to JOIN HANDS AVITH NATURE'S FORCES in nn Intelligent and persistent ef fort to restore tho health to Ha nor mal condition. This c-unnot bo done by treating disease which are only symptoms of tho real and fundamen tal trouble. Tho henrt palpltatoB but It la of no uso to treat the heart while tho diseased stomach causing the pal pitation goes unheeded und unhelpcd. Tho nerves tingle and twitch with pain. But Its no uso to takebromlde meliorations to nulct tho nerves, drug- gins them Into drowsiness ns crying children nro sometimes drugged, AVhnt the .crying child generally needs Is food, ThA nerves also cry because of hun ger. You enn only stop tho outcry of the nerves by feeding them, and that must bo done through tho stomach. In thousands and thousands of cases It hna been shown that when tho atom neh, together with tho allied organs of digestion nnd nutrition nro put In to a sound condition of health, the health of the whole body Is at once restored. Strength comes back; the color returns to tho cheek, the sparkle totheoycthosprlng to tho step. There's real Interesting life, real pleasure In business, real comfort In home. Tho nerves are quiet. They laugh some times, but they never cry. Tho heart works 'eadlly nnd noiselessly like some perfectly governed engine. The liver performs Its functions unobtru sively. Tho kidneys do a dny's work every day In filtering out tho Impuri ties which would clog the circula tion, the lungs nro actively henlthy 111 brief, tho whole body In all Its parts works together to enrry on the perfect scheme of physical being. WHAT TO DO. Now comes the question, "How can this Ideal condition of health bo at- talned?" No one Is bettor fitted to answer that question than one who hus been cured of the disease, and been uplifted into a condition of sound health. Such Is one is Mr. Thomas Gl Lever, of Lever, Richland Ca., S. C, who writes: "I was aflllcted with what the doctors called nervous Indigestion. Took medicine from my family phslclan to no avail. In look ing over one of Dr. Pierce's Memoran dum Books I found my case described exactly. I wrote to him and made a statement. He sent mo a descriptive list of questions, nlso hygienic rules. I carried these out as best I could, but I thought myself Incurable, as I suffered so much with pain under my libs and an empty feeling In my stom nch. At night would have cold or hot feet nnd hands, nlternntely. I was getting very nervous nnd suffered a great deal mentally, thinking that death would soon claim me. Always expected something unusual to take place: wns irritable and Impatient, and greatly reduced In flesh. I could scarcely eat anything that would not produce a bad feeing In my stomach. After seme hesitation, owing to my prejudices ngninst patent medicines, f decided to try a few bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pellets.' After taking several bottles of each, found I was Improving. I continued for six months or more, off and on. 1 have to be careful yet, nt times, of what I eat, In order that I , may feel good and strong, I fully be lieve If any one suffering with In digestion or torpid liver or chronic cold would take Dr. Plerce'a Golden Medi cal Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets' and observe a few simple hygleule rules he would soon be greatly bene fitted, and with a little perseverance would be entirely cured. ".My son who has weak lungs nnd takes cold easily Just used one bottle of Golden Medical Discovery' and was cured; got strong and very fleshy." HOW THOUSANDS ARK SAVED. That is the way that thousands have been cured by tho patient persistent use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. The cure by the use of this remedy may be said to be certain since ninety-eight per cent, of all who use It nro perfectly and permanently cured. The time occupied In making the euro depends upon the stgc of the disease and the condition of the patient. It Is folly to expect that a disease which has fastened Its roots around the vital organs of the body. In the slow prog ress of yenis, should be Instantly and Immediately cured. It takes time to cure complicated diseases, but the cure comes In time with the use of "Gulden Medical Discovery." "In the year ISOf! I wns taken quite sick nnd our family physic Ian was called." writes Miss Lula M Brittle, of Ivor. Va. "Ho left mo some medicine but It failed to relieve me. He came i again and again but my case grew worse. I tried every remedy anybody told me of but still 1 suffered. One dny I found a little book In which was printed a few of Dr. Pierce's patients' testimonials, so I sat right down nnd wrote to him, describing my suffering.
