PROF: HOWELL HOME FROM WESTERN TRIP ARRIVED YESTERDAY AFTER FIVE WEEKS ABSENCE. Visited San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Col., Lincoln, Nob., Mil waukee, Wis,, nnd Other Points of Interest Chosen a Member of tho Nominating Committee at National Convention and Honoredbyrrlends nnd Relatives Story of the Trip Related Last Evening. Prof. Georgo Howell, superintendent of public schools, returned homo yes terday afternoon with his wife and daughter, Annette, from a five weekn trip through the west. Prof. Howell attended the annual convention ot the National Educational association at Iais Angeles, Cnl, on July 11-12-13-11, and after visiting several points of liv tcrest, returned to Milwaukee, Wis., wheie they were the guests of Pi of. and Mrs. Daniel Protheroe, formerly ot this city. peaking of the trip to n Tribune man who called at ills homo last even ing. Mr. Howell said it was enjoyable In every respect Tho convention was ono of the most successful over held, and 11,000 school tencheis wero in at tendance, Peniisvlvnnla sent 493 peo ple, and the Keystone delegation weie concentrated nt Chicago, ftom which lolnt Superintendent Howell was in charge of the train. Philadelphia sent three carloads, Pittsburg two and Scranton one. i'd from Chicago the train was mnd up of seven cms from Pennsjlvar a alone. The mo' itovvorthy event on tho outw.nd Jnuincj, said Mr. Howell, was the fact that their train was iust two hours behind the train which was w recked nt New man, and three persons wero killed. The accident was due to pure negligence nnd It was remaikablo that all the pnsscngeis were not killed. The Journey across tho American ties fit occupied two nights and three days, nnd tho most monstrous part of tho ttl;i was tho ride from Ogden to San Fianclsco, where over 900 miles ot des ei t land Is covered, and nothing can be seen but sage btush, alkali and cactus. ON NOMINATING COMMITTEE. Pi of. Howell was elected n member of the nominating committee at tho convention and had the pleasure of representing the Keystone stnto in the selection of the president of the asso ciation, when Prof. O. T. Corson, of Ohio, who is well known here, was unanimously elected to the position. Thirty-seven states were represented on the committee. The speeches dur ing the convention wore of a high or der, and excellent subjects vv ere chosen for discussion. 'President Lyte, of Mlllersville State Normal school, pre sided at all the sessions nnd dispatched the work with much credit to himself and to tho entire satisfaction, of the delegates. At San Francisco, Prof, and Mrs. Howell called on Dr. and Mrs. Henry Isaac Jones, formeily of this cltv, and Thomas E Price, tho famous Welsh chemist and nssaver, who was one ot the expei t witnesses In the Durrant murder trial. Speaking of Dr. Jones, the professor said that he is enjoying the largest practice in the city nnd lives like a prince. They also visited several other iclativcs of Scranton peo ple during their trip. Much difficulty was experienced by nearly all the delegates In leaving San Fianclsco, the railroadl accommoda tions being very poor. They had to wait three das for a sleeper and some parties waited ten days before being accommodated. It was Prof. Howell's Intention to return by wnter part of the way, but upon inquiry it was learned that all steamer accommodations were booked as far ahead as September. They were thus compelled to return by way of the Southern Paclllc over the desert line. Probably the most enjoyable feature of the trip, Pi of. Howell said, was tho trip up Tnrnel Pass, across the bay from San Francisco. There they observed the clouds passing over the great metropolis of the Paclllc coast and tho view from that height was one never to be forgotten. Pike's Peak was also visited, which point vvns reached by the cog lallway 14,760 fet above the level of the sea. The jour ney to that famous resort wus most fatiguing. Tho engineer In churr;, of the railway Is a son of tho late Philip Jones, formerly of this city, who showed tho party several favors. STOP AT DENVER. Stops were also made on tho return ttlp at Denver, Col , nnd Lincoln, Neb., where a number of the delegation, un der the guidance of Mr. Uruce, of Mil waukee, called on William J. Bryan and were well received by the ex-presl-dentlal candidate. Duilng the home waid Journey Pi of. Howell contracted a heavy cold and was compelled to remain In bed three days at Milwaukee fioni an attack of rheumatism. Willie at Milwaukee Prof. Howell and wife and daughter weie tho guests of Mrs Howell's sister, Mrs. Daniel Protheroe, and were the recipients of many calls and Invitations from friends in the city. Mr. Howell said Pi of. Piotheioe Is meeting with rematkable success In his new home nnd Is direc tor of two of the largest singing socle ties in Milwaukee. The genial superintendent was the guest of the Press club and other or ganizations and wlillc theic old ac quaintances were icnevved with many friends of former eais. Before re turning fiom California Prof. Howell satisfied himself that Mr. and Mrs. D D Evans, Mis. Geotge Ejnon and others who accompanied the party reached their destinations in safety and tho health of all tho party was good. While riding over the Nickel Plate toad fiom Chicago to Buffalo Tuesday night Prof. Howell contiacted a severe cold fiom which he Is suffering, but h" was not too hoarse to converse with soveial friends who called at his home last evening to welcome him homo again. He expects to be fully recov eicd In a day or two and once more take chaige of his lespnnsiblltles in connection with the public schools. THROWN FROM CARRIAGE. J.

ANOTHER LIBEL SUIT. W. P. Qulnn, of This City, Brings Suit Against John A. Irwin. John A.

REPORT OF REFEREE DAWSON. City Will Have to Pay the Truth's Bill for Printing. Attorney C. W. Dawson, acting ns referee, yesterday filed with Prothono tary Copeland his report in tho case of Barrett & Jordan against the city of Scranton. The plaintiffs claim $1,003 31 for ad vertises done for the city in the Scranton Truth and which the city hns not paid for. Tho claim was not con tested and the referee gave judgment for tho full amount of the claim. About one month ago my child, which Is fifteen months old, had an at tack of diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave It tuch remedies as are usually given In such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a phy sician and It was under his cnie for a week. At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and was hav ing about twenty-five operations of tho bowels every twelve houis, nnd we were convinced that unless it soon ob tained relief it would, not live. Cham berlaln's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended, and I de cided to try it. I soon noticed a change for tho better; by its continued use a complete cure was brought about and It is now perfectly healthy. C. L. Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer Co . W. Va. For sale by all druggists.
