did the same thing again.
"I'm In earnest this time, though,

fine imposed, they will stay In the
county jail until they settle up. I've
got tired of being lenient with them."
Inasmuch as the plans for a build

him when it permit is taken out, it
would appear to be most important
that the contractors of the city wens
compelled to take out permits before
commencing actual building opera

If a building were almost -wholly

he should decide that tho building

A Name Twice Made
' Famous, Now a
Shining Mark for
Imitators.
The name "Chaio," twice made famous,
is n shining; mark for the unscrupulous to
Jiounce upon and appropriate in order to
olst upon the public their worthless pre
parations. These birds of prey, by using:
the name Chase, expect the public to be
fooled into believing they are the medi
cines of Dr. A, W, Chase, who first be
came noted as the author of the world
famed Dr. Chase's recipe book and family
physician, and whose fame is now doubly
increased by the wonderful success of his
Nerve Fills, with Nerve, Brain and Blood
troubles. They play upon the name Chase,
but dare not use the initials "A. V."
They imitate, but dare not counterfeit the
portrait and signature of Dr. A. V. Chase,
which identifies the Nerve Fills now recog
nised as infallible for building up pale,
weak, thin-blooded, nerve eahausted suf
ferers, AVfao are nerve-tired and brain-weary,
Who are easily exhausted,
Who are wakeful cannot sleep,
AVho have nervous headache.
They remove the cause of blood impuri
ties, securing refreshing sleep and impart

.They build up people who find their
strength and vigor waning,
They settle irritated nerves, replace lan
guor and lassitude with energy and anima

Coal Lands Purchased,
The Von Storon tract of coal laud In
Ore-en Ititlge, which has been under
lease of the Delaware and Hudson coin
pnny for many years, has been pur
chased outright by the company, Tho
tract comprises 148 acres, nntl extends
rrom tho hackawanna river to Dun
more borough.
Tho Dickson colliery Is situated on
the tract and has been operated by the
Delaware and Hudson company for a
long time. Tho breaker Is owned by
the company nnd they have been pay
ing royalties to the "Von Storch estate
for the coal mined therein.
Superintendent Hose stated yester
day that the lease had been bought
outright rrom the A'on Storch estate
and the compnny Is now In control,
Instead of tensing the property.
D. & H. Semi-monthly Pays.
The Delaware and Hudson company
will inaugurate the semi-monthly pay
days among their mine workers, com
mencing on Jan. 1. Tho pnys for De
cember will be made as usual dining
the first twenty days of January and
the men will receive their money for
the first hair or the month commencing
Jan. 23.
Two additional clerks will be needed
in the paymaster's department and all
the clerical force is now busily en
gaged in perfecting the plan under
which the payments will be made. The
new plan will, of course, be more or
less of an experiment, and may re
quire some time before It Is In com
plete operation.
Former D., L. & W. Man's Success.
George K. Stoddard, formerly chiel
clerk to A. C. Salisbury when the latter
was division superintendent of the
Lacka-vnnnn railroad, has been ap
pointed clerk of the Utica, N. T., school
board. Ills many friends In this city,
and especially among the railroad men,
will be pleased to learn of his success
since leaving Scranton a few months
ago.
The fllca Saturday Globe, In lis
current issue, prints an excellent half
tone cut or Mr, Stoddard nnd has the
following comment on his appointment:
"When the first or January rolls
around the people whose business takes
them Into the ofllce or the school
board's clerk will find an affable ami
competent young man in charge of af
fairs there in the person of George 1.
Stoddard, the new clerk.
"Mr. Stoddard's appointment was
made ten dnys ago, but he concluded to
wait until the New Year before taking
up his duties at the Library building
and to celebrate the opening of the
twentieth century by entering upon the
clerkship.
Mr. Stoddard is 27 years old. From
ISSil until recently he was in the em
ploy of the Lackawanna railroad, first
as office boy, later operator, train dis
patcher, clerk, time-book-keeper and
chief clerk to A. C. Salisbury while
superintendent here and In Scranton.
Lately ho has been employed Vy the
Hemlngton Arms company as book
keeper at lllon."
The Tribune extends Its congratula
tions to Mr. Stoddard, who, in many
ways during his residence in Scranton,
was helpful and obliging to this pa
per's industrial writers.

on don't caie when, we take our semi-annual inventory, and we do not bother to
tell you anything about it, as a rule. But this year we shall be stricter with ourselves,
and the stockmen must be very sure not to hold on to a piece of goods at a price that would
need reducing after January Sth the inventory time.
And as the measuring and counting is well under way getting ready for the final
entry, we shall take all possible losses beforehand and sell off the broken during the next
few days. Halt the uew3 will not get in the papers because the lots as discovered will go
on sale at once, and many will go out each' day.
