GARDNER FLEAD3 GUILTY.
Profound Sensation Created nt
Stroudsburg.
Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
rttroudsbiirp, May 25. A (sensation
was created yesterday when the news
was received from Philadelphia that
Howard S. Gardner, one of this town's
best known younK business men, had
plctaded guilty on the charge of using
the mails with Intent to defraud. A
number of prominent people were sub
poenaed, Including Mayor Arthur
Staples and George C. Hughes, pro
prietor of tho Dally Times, to testlfj
to Gatdner's good character. Thcsi
men were not called. At llrst Gard
ner stated that he was not guilty, but
bo overwhelming was the evidence
Against him that on the advice of his
counsel, Joseph J. Murphy, of Phila
delphia, he changed his plea to one of
guilty. A score or more of millers from
all over this and New York state were
present at tho trial. Gardner was ar
rested nt his home here early this year
by Inspector 11. J Gorman, of Scran
ton, He was found hiding In tho cellar
in his residence on Main street. After
a preliminary hearing In Philadelphia,
ho was admitted to bail, but later his
bondsmen surrendered him and he has
lecn awaiting trial In Moyamenslng
prison. Ho will serve his sentence,
which will likely bo over two years, In
the Eastern penitentiary.
Gardner's arrest was caused by his
using the malls with Intent to defraud.
Ho was a mill broker. He would order
a car of Hour shipped to a certain point
and then sell it at a low Jlgure, for
getting to remit the price. It Is said
that ho received, In tho course of a
few years, eighty different cars of flour.

ier of the Snyre bank, and charges
that on July 24, 1S99, Nlckert borrowed

worth $15,300. In October, 1899, in or
der, to stop collection of this amount,
lie offered to gle them a mortgage of
$3,000 on real estate In Kmaus as col
lateral, Tho offer was taken, nnd he
presented a new note and the mort
gage. This mortgage had previously
been (satisfied, and Wlckert, it has

A person who has chronic catarrhal

To be alfllcted with chronic catarrh
and not try Peruna, Is as foolish as
to have the old-fashioned chills and
fever and refuse to try quinine, or to
have a broken bono and not allow the
doctor to set It.
Peruna has cume to be so universally
recognized as a specific cure for ca
tarrhal affections, acute or chronic,
that It is amazing- ths.t anyone should
continue to suffer on with such a per

remedy that is sure.

m
THE SEMI-TOPER,.
Ono of tha Features of Amorican
Life that Csuld Be Spared.
"A rorelnner" In the, New York Sun.
I now come to discuss the toper and
the semi-toper. Of the former, we
have quite as many in England as
here, but by no means as many semi-
topers; this is easily explained: it Is
mainly due to the hospitality of the
American.
A man meets a friend In the street
nt any time of day; he at once, In his
hospitable kindness of heart, invites
him to a drink, vulgarly called a
"smile." Thts takes place between
meals and generally leads to a con
siderable amaunt of "smiling." I know
of men wh go n drinking more or
less alcoholic keverages all day long.
The quantity of whiskey and other
spirits diluted with water Is, perhaps,
not enough totally to Intoxicate the
man, but It mueldles his brain and he
cannot face a glass of Invigorating
Tine at dinner and drinks ice water;
he continues, however, his toping be
fore going to bed; this Is the man
wham I call the semi-toper.
Of such men, young and old, you
have thousands and many of them
eventually become topers or drunk
ards. It Is against this habit of drinking
between meals that I wish to warn;
this continual drinking is not needed;
it does not even quench the thirst.
It affords no nutriment, but only
weakens the dicestlon, and does in
calculable harm, more particularly as
mast of the lntermeal drinks are iced.
I believe that this habit of drinking
diluted whiskey, gin or brandy wauld
be considerably diminished If people
would abstain from drinking between
meals, but it persisted In would cer
tainly be much less harmful if good
wholesome wine were offered at bars,
as Is done in France, Italy, Spain, etc.
The well-fermented natural CalifornK
American clarets are cheap enough
and ould answer the purpose; they
could be sold at 10 cents a tumbler
and If mixed with half water would be
light, pleasant and Invigorating and
absolutely harmless.
Far publlt morality's sake, as help
ing to get rid of drunkenness. It would
clMxly be a wise step in legislation
U admit pure and natural wines Into
this country free of any duty what
ever, Nothing would so much help to
decrease the whiskey drinking and ret
rid of the toper.

To The Peruna Medlclno Co.:
"Last June I had a severe
attack of nasal catarrh which
was very annoying and debili
tated my system. Seeing your
advertisements I wrote you for
advice. I used Peruna con
stantly, until last November,
when the symptoms disap
peared entirely."
J. LOUIS PFATJ, JR.,

ing, Chicago, 111.
Mr. Pfau is manager of the
Central Trust Co.
Of'course, It may be that many peo
ple have not yet come to know of this
remedy for catarrhal affections, but It
Is strange it should be so after such
multitudes have been cured by It and
so many papers have heralded It
from one end of the country to tho
other. Men and women of all ages
and rank, the rich and poor, tho
learned and illiterate, arc dally giving
unsolicited testimony to the fact that
Peruna will cure all catarrhal diseases.

written by Dr. Hartman, tho com
pounder of Peruna, will be sent by
