Fire this morning destroyed the hotel property known as tho Half-way House midway between Honesdale and White Mills, conducted by Victor La Tor geous. About 3 o'clock a disturbance was heard In the chicken house, and on Investigating two men were found and they were driven away, A little later they appeared again and were striking matches. They were driven away the second time. Soon after 4 o'clock Charles Polts, an employe at the hotel, discovered the barn on file. A strong wind was blowing at the time and the (lames were carried to the ho tel, which, with the barn and contents, were burned to the ground. A few wagons wore all thnt were saved from the buildings. Except a bmall Insur ance on the hotel, the property burned Is a total loss. It appears that the men driven away from the chicken house were tecognlzcd as lesldents of Tracey vllle. This foienoon Charles Polts came to Honesdale and secured a w an ant for Hugh Malloy and John Gallagher, who were ai rested and brought before Justice Smith, who held them each un der $500 ball to appear at court to an swer a charge of Incendiarism.

Ho called to the parties In charge of the mill and an Impromptu fire btlgado was organized on tho spot and the flro extinguished. No alarm was turned In as the mill Is outside of the borough limits and out of reach of the appara tus of the flie department. It might hao been a serious loss except for the the early discovery and prompt no tion of Mr. Drake nnd the employes of the mill.

One yard engine, In charge of Engineer P. R. Carpenter, has also been tempotailly abandoned. It is sincerely hoped that the trouble will be of short duration. Some person maliciously Inclined started the rumor that the mei chants were to discontinue giving credit until after the strike. The report was ab solutely false, as no such Intention lnd enteied the minds of the merchants heie. Tho merchants are now trying to llnd the persons guilty of the mean trick. The chair factory, antlclaptlng a bttike in the coal legions, have coal enough on hand to run the factory on full time for two months.

It was at tho famous revel given by the Earl of Leicester to Queen Elizabeth. Aa tho days whirled past tho revellers wished to forget tho ilight of time, so thoy stopped tho clocks. I3ut timo mowed down tho hours with a steady, even sweep of his sharp soytne. One chronicler says that some time after, one of tho gallants who participated in that revel was suddenly seized with mortal illness. All he craved for was time to arra.ngc his affairs. Then ho bethought him of the time spent iu that mad revel, and knew that the timo ho craved was lost beyond recall. Tho practical person will suiilo at tho folly of those old-world revellers. Ho knows that time nays no more heed to tho clook than tho weather nays to the almanac. But is tho practical person so much moro wise in his day and generation ? after eating. Thoto is an unpleasant fulness, sour or bitter risings Perhaps there are palpi tation of tho heart, shortness of breath, spots before tho eyes and dizziness. What does ho do ? Get some radical cure for the disease ? Not at all. He takes tablets and powders, preparations of mint, soda and similar palliatives and stops tho symptoms. J3ul (he disease goes on. Some day tho man wakes up to tho fact that suppressing the symptoms does not hinder the progress of tho disease, and ho looks on every side for a medicine which will effect a ical and radical cure. If men and women realised the relation of the stomach to tho other organs of tho body they would be more careful of its health. The slightest symptom of disorder in tho stomach would bo at once noted and attended to. In tho htomnch is generated tho motor power of tho body, from food propcily digested and assimilated. The fust consequence of disease of the stomach and its associate oigans of digestion and nutrition, is to hinder tho proper digestion of food, and as only peifectly digested food can bo assimilated, the nourishment of tho body is leduccd, and a process of staivation begins. Each day tho body receives a little less than enough to suppott strength and iciiair the wear and tear of tissues. Slowly this daily maigin of loss reaches a seiious total. Tho heart begins to fed the lack of nutrition and there is a case of " weak " heart. The lungs begin to feel the loss of nutrition and there aro " weak " lungs. And so with the liver, kidneys and other organs. Naturally, with this weakness there is loss of flesh leadinrr to emaciation. Thore'a only one way of cure for this condition, and that is to euro tho diseases of tho aiomacii ami nuiniivo system wuiuu pit' vein uie iiuuiitniut.'iii ui wiu uim, organs. This euro of diseases of tho stomach and other oigans of digest nutrition is perfectly accom plished by Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery. This medicine may be called a stomach and blood medicine, puiely and simply. Blood is made from food after it has undergone chemical changes in the system, and "Golden Medical Discovery," by curing diseases of the stomach, re moves the effect of those dis eases which contaminate food, and, therefoio, contaminate and poison the blood made from food. It is a matter of surprise with many people who have taken " Golden Modical Dis covery " for the stomach alone, to find that diseases of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc., aie cured when the stomach ia cured. As a fact, these cures aie the most natural of con sequences. Think it out. All the strength of the body and all its vitality comes from food converted into nutrition by digestion and assimilation. But as food not properly di gested cannot be assimilated, then, indigestion must mean loss of nutrition for the bodv. And if the bodv loses nutri tion it must also lose because its strength ported by nutrition, body is made up of and organs this loss tion affects every every organ, and manuesta itselt in ono organ or another. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and cures through the stomach diseases which have their origin in diseases of tho btomach and its allied organs. It's a cuie you can weigh and measure. As surely as the progress of tho disease ol the stomach is marked by loss of strength and loss of flesh, so surely the cure of this disease is marked bv returning strength and gain of flesh. Tho testimony of those cured by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery" is that they feel their strength coming back as they g3in new flesh and new blood. " Golden Medical Discovery " contains no alcohol and io entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. It does not give temporary stimulation but labting strength. Tho temptation of tho little more piofit, paid by less metitorious medicines, is sometimes too much for tho dealer, and ho endeavors to sell the customer a substitute for " Golden Medical Discovery," claiming that it is "just as good." If the substitute wero just as good it would sell on its own merits. The cus tomer would knowof it, and ask for it. The rccoid of euros effected by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is tho best evidence that thero is no other medicine just as good for tho stomach and other organs of digestion and nutiition, nor for those diseases of other oigans which originate in disease of the stomach. Insist, therefore, on having " Golden Medical Discovery." A GIFT FOR YOU.

"It is with pleasure that I tell you what Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery and ' Pellets ' have done for me," writes Mrs. T. M. Palmer, of Peede. Kaufman Co., Texas. "Two years ago I was taken with stomach and bowel trouble. Everything I ate would put me in distress. I lived two weeks on milk, and even that gave me pain. I felt as though I would starve to death. Three doctors attended me one said I had dyspepsia, two said catarrh of the stomach and bowels. They attended me (one at a time) for one year. I stopped taking their medicine and tried other patent medi cine ; got no better, and grew so weak and nervous my heart would flutter. I could not do any kind of work. Now I can do my house work very well, am gaining- in flesh and strength, and can eat any thing I want." "I had been troubled with catarrh of the stomach and heart trouble," writes Mr. V. D. Merchant, of Tylersburg, Clarion Co., Penna. "Had doctored for some time without relief, then I began to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I took seven bottles. Before I began to take it weighed up pounds, and now I weigh 176. I am working steadily, and feel like a well man. I send you many thanks." "Our son contracted a deep cold about the first of July, 1899, and had a terrible cough," writes Mr. Will H. Whitmire, of Arkton, Rockingham Co., Va. "We called a doctor, and he pronounced it irritation of the bronchial tubes, with asthmatic ttouble, and he in formed me that my son was liable to die at anytime. He told me that if we could keep the bronchial tubes open, he might cure him ; but after treating him several weeks, and my son growing worse all the time, I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pellets.' I had seen several miraculous cures brought about by the use of these medicines, and, of course, I had wonderful faith in them. I am so happy to tell you that I have not been disap pointed, and that my boy is well. He used three bottles of Golden Medical Discovery ' at home and one vial of the ' Pellets,' and was then well enough to go to West Virginia, taking a supply with him. I am just in receipt of a letter from him, from which I-quote : 'am weu ana naray, ana getting very fleshy . " noon Mr. Hearoldtz was C7 yeais of ago and has lived In New Mllfoid many yeais.
