ORDINARILY THURSDAY IS THE
BIO DAY.
Dallas Had a Good Crowd of Visitors
Yesterday Notwithstanding the
Frowning Vp Above JudgeB Have
Begun the Work of Picking Out the
Prize Winners Midway Seems to
I '- Be One of the Big Attractions of
the Fair Winners of the Races.
From Stall Correspondent.
Dallas, Oct. 4, Tho heavy clouds
that hid tho sun all day did a trreat
dcnl toward keeping1 tho attendance
down at tho fair hero today, the third
one of tho exhibition given under tho
auspices of the Dallas Pair association.
Thursday Is usually reckoned as the
big day of this fair, and usually there
are fiom live to seven thousand ter
sons on tho grounds. Today a con
servative estimate would bo four thou
sand. Tomorrow, If the sun comes out
In tho morning, there will be many
more hero than Is usual on tho last
day of the fair, many of today's In
tended visitors having postponed their
trip heic for the reason that the
sombre, overcast sky did not look In
viting enough for a long drive. As the
majority of county falr-goors drive In
to the -grounds In their own rigs, that
has to bo taken Into consideration. To
day there were comparatively few
vehicles on tho grounds, most of the'
spectators coming frqm Wllkes-Barre
nnd adjoining towns by way of the
trolley cars. The accommodations fur
nished by the traction company were
woefully Inadequate and the cars were
Jammed and packed full with uncom
fortable passengers, who were very
tlad when the seven-mile journey was
ever.
The hacks at tho trolley car station
were as thick as blackberries and they
ill seemed to ho doing a thriving1 busi
ness from the little two-seated surreys
to the giant bandwagons with four
horses.
Judging Articles.
The work of judging- tho articles,
animals and produce offered for com
petition In the various departments
started today, but Is not yet completed.
. The exhibition halls are well filled and
, the variety offered for the judges' se
lection will make their task no llcht
one.
The Midway was thronged with a
restless, surging1 throng all day, listen
ing intently to the charming fairy tales
told by the persuasive promoters in
front of the tents and oratorical feats
were performed by these silver-tongued
"gents" as they glibly sang the praises
of "The Human Frog," "Kl-Kl, the
Wild Man of tho Philippines," or of
the wonderful acting of the Coontown
Jubilee Show, with Its sixteen hluh
class stars.
Dallas being so near Wllkes-Barre
and in such close touch with Scranton.
the crowds that surged up nnd down
the Midway and packed the grand
stand bear a more citified look than is
usual at county fairs. Of course there
are many rural spectators, some of
, whom are adorned with the charac
teristic Populist whiskers pictured In
Y the comic papers, but the great mnjor
t ity are arrayed In up-to-date clothes
and carry themselves with tho swing
and grace that only contact with stone
sidewalks can impart.
One humorist has arrayed himself In
regular country style, as parodied on
the stage, and with an old carpet big
and swallow-tall coat with brass but
tons, a white beaver hat and long chin
whiskers, stands gazing with distended
Jaw and dilated eye upon tho fakirs.
Some of them are halted In their en
thusiastic descriptions of the marvels
they are showing by this artist's gaze
of simple faith and lose the thread of
their discourse.
Hypnotists at Work.
There is a new galaxy of tho gentle
men who live by the gullibility of
others hero today. One of these, who
stands on a rough board platform, ap
parently hypnotizes small boys nnd
puts them through a course of antics
as a prelude to selling cheap jewelry.
Another pulls out a roll of $1,000 In
bills as a guarantee of satisfaction to
his patrons.
Ira Van Alstine, of Dallas, deserves
to be mentioned as the all-around
county fair hackman. His Immense
flag-trlmmed stage has been a promi
nent featuro at the "Wallsvllle, Tunk
hannock, Harford and Dallas fairs this
season.
A firm of wagon-builders has a fine
display of carriages and farm wagons
out behind tho grand-stand. A mam
moth Incubator, a tailor shop, a paint
store and a drug firm all have Indus
trial displays In the exhibition hall.
The Citizens' band, of Plymouth,
continued their musical programme to
day, occupying a platform Inside the
..track, bcsldo the Judges' stand. Thnlr
" renditions evoked applause time and
again.
Tho trotting track was quite heavy
with dust today, and this, with the
strong wind which blew down tho
homestretch, held the horses back con-
J'seTerably from making fust time.
Th ofllclals In the Judges' stand
were the same as those of vesterdav,
with Starter William IJ. Moore piesld
ing. Tho bell was tolled at 2 o'clock
for tho horses to make their appear

V
A Husband's TerrlMc Alternative.
THIS is a story of to-day ; a story of "those who go down to the sea id ships."
The captain had with him in his ship his wife and child. The ship caught fire.
Seizing his child the husband called to his wife to jump, and they leaped into
the sea together. For some time they struggled, the husband upholding the child,
unable to assist his wife. Presently, with a cry of farewell, she sank. The man's
heart was torn in two j one he could save, and only one. As his wife rose to the sur
face he opened his arms and let the waves sweep the child away, while he went to the
succor of the wife and mother.
Truly, a horrible dilemma, a terrible tragedy I Yet there are tragedies as terrible
being enacted every day in this wide land ; tragedies in which, alas I the husband is
helpless, now, and must blindly trust to a stranger's skill.
How, many a husband remembers that loner vigil of slow creeping hours, while the
agonizing struggle of motherhood goes on in an upper chamber. Every time the door
opens he shrinks from the blow he fears may fall on him. With hands clenched, with
drawn lips, he lives out the awful vigil, crying out upon the helplessness of love.
But there is a time when
or death. If, when motherhood
his wife begins the use ot Dr.
she will find herself grow strong
as the day of trial comes, and
practically painless.
A HUSBAND SAYSi "REFER TO ME."
" I take pleasure In writing to you
about your 'Favorite Prescription,'"
Fricke. of Petersburg, Menard Co.,
"My wife has been sick nearly all her life, and alter
trying everything I could think of, I made up my
mind to try ' Favorite Prescription. I sent to Chi
cago and got six bottles, which my wife took, a
tablcspoonful three times a day, until the baby came.
She felt better after taking the first bottle, and when
baby was born he weighed nine and a half pounds.
To-day he is six months old and weighs twenty-two
pouncls. He is as good a child as anyone could
wish. The doctor says he is as healthy as any baby
could be, and also the doctor says your ' Favorite
Prescription ' was the cause of such a healthy baby.
I felt I owed you this much for the good you did
my wife and myself. I hope you will mention this
to otners wuo may De in neea ot sucn neip, aua you
may refer them to me, as I would be glad to tell
of the good of such a valuable medicine."
Almost every wife needs
some help to prepare her for
maternity. Sometimes the
chief suffering comes
from nervousness
and morning sick
ness. The use
of " Favorite
Prescription "
will stop the
sickness and
cure the nerv
ousness. When the ap
petite fails, and
nights are
spent in sleep
less tosssing,
and when the
mind is cloud
ed by fears and
anxieties, the
use of Doctor
Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription
will result in
an entire re
moval of all these
distressing condi
tions. It encourages ji
the appetite, induces re- '
freshing sleep, tranquilizes
the nerves and strengthens
w -s.
both mind and body. It brushes
away the fears and anxieties of the
mind as if they were cobwebs. It
woman's sighing into singing,
to the birth-hour sure of her
spective maierauy
A HUSBAND AND A DOOTOR SURPRISED.
"I take pleasure in informing you of the birth of a boy in perfect health, on May 18th, 1899,"
writes Mrs. E. L. Corti, of Waltonville, Penna., Box 25. "I cannot find words sufficiently strong to
express to you my thanks, for my delivery was almost without pain, and when my husband arrived
with the doctor the child was already born. The neighbors who were with me and my husband and
the doctor could uot believe their eyes. Having suffered so much before, I never believed myself able
to be delivered of a living child. I tell everybody this happy event was due to the help of God and
your medicines. I shall never be without your medicines henceforth, and shall never fail in recom
mending your 'Favorite Prescription.' I have used the medicines which you prescribed with
the best results.
Cur hearts are full of gratitude to you for your medicines, which have given us the happiness
of having a living child of our own, after so much suffering and disappointment.
I recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to all young women who are in the same condition
that I was in as one of the best remedies in existence. I have used eight bottles and find myself
in perfect health. Accept my best wishes for your welfare to the end of your days."
There is another great fact for the consideration of parents, and that is that a child
born of a weak, nervous, anxious mother enters into a legacy of misery with the first
breath it draws. Very often the little one makes a brief struggle against his inher
itance of misery, and then gives up. The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
makes mothers healthy, and healthy mothers have healthy, happy children.
A FINE BABY GIRL. ,
"I can cheerfully recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription as one of the best medicines for
women." writes Mrs. Marv Murdock. of 220 Tavlor Street. Tooeka. Kansas. "I consider it the best
I medicine made. I know it has no equal. I am the mother of ten children and

high, holding a weather vane five feet

had been a feeling that It might be
unsafe, nfter standing twenty-five
years, but an architect, after examin
ing It, pronounced It nnfe. Soon after
this,, however, lightning struck It,
shattering two of its eight main tim
bers, and It was thought best to re
move tho spire. It was sawed oft at
the base and pulled over whole, but
was entirely crushed by tho fall.

tenth one. She is one year old and ia aa well mid hearty as can be. She is n beauty. Of my other
babies, some were born Bt right time, but dead; others were premature births; one lived to be one year
old, but she was always feeble. I tried different doctors, but none of Iheni could'tell what my trouble
was. They said I was well and strong. I was examined by surgeons, but they found nothing wrong,
and they wore puzzled to know what my trouble waa. I did not know what to do, so I thought this last
time I would try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I took it the entire nine months, and now have
a fine baby girl, and I cannot praise your medicine enough for the good it did me."
The benefits derived from the use of "Favorite Prescription " are lasting. The gen
eral health is so intimately related to the local womanly health, that when the diseases
peculiar to the womanly organs are cured, the whole body feels the benefit. After years
of weakness and suffering; after years of experiment with treatments and medicines, all
of which fail of more than temporary benefit, women turn at last to Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, and find in its use permanent cures of their diseases, and a restoration to
sound' and vigorous health.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well,
That claim is substantiated by half a million women witnesses. It is a medicine for
woman's ills gentle in its action, wonderful in its results. It is a perfect regulator.
It dries disagreeable and debilitating drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and
cures female weakness.

Women suffering from disease in chronic
form are invited to consult Dr. Pierce- by letter,
free. All correspondence is held in sacred
secrecy and womanly confidences are guarded
by strict professional privacy. Address Dr.
R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
In a little over thirty years, Dr. R. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., assisted
by his staff of nearly a score of physicians, has
treated and cured more than half a million
women.
There is no similar offer of free consultation
by letter or "free medical advice" which places
at the disposal of suffering women either skill,
experience or success equal to that of Dr. Pierce
and his medical staff in the treatment and cure
of diseases peculiar to women.
A consultation by letter with Dr. Pierce,
enables sensitive women to avoid
the familiar questionings, the
onensive examinations and
obnoxious local treat
ments considered nec
essary by many lo
cal physicians, and
from which all
modest women
shrink, instinct
ively. Doctor
Pierce's long

the treatment
and cure of dis
