Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Susquchuunu, Feb. 1. While blasting
dirt, with dynamite, In his garden, to
obtain hoi so radish, Editor Psamuol
Moip, of the Great Hend I'laln-Dealcr,
a few mornings ogounearthed a human
fkull, supposed to bo that of Man-Afiald-of-HIs-'Wlfe.
a noted Indian
chief, whof-o tribe nt ono time had
their stamping grounds at Red Hock
nnd Great bend. Editor More, as Boon
ay his find Is authenticated, will pre
sent It to the Susquehanna County His
torical society.
About the mlddlo of Ilia seventeenth
century the Iroquois and Delaware
tilbe.i of Indians fought each other nil
over this section. Gieat Bend and Ath
ens were debatable groundH, neither
nation occupying it ponnanently
through fear of the other. When Gen
eral Sullivan came down the Susque
hanna with a division of his army, In
177S, he desttoyed an Indian village at
Great Bend, which was then called In
garen. Since that time it has been no
unusual thing to discover Indian curios
In that vicinity.
A PIPE DrtUAM.
The Susquehanna Transcript has
heurd somewhere that the Bingham-
Baby,
1 he young mother thinks, when she has
completed the baby garments that are to
clothe the little form. But she is not all
ready for baby's coming, unless she hai
done something more for the baby than
merely to prepare his clothes. Many a
young mother who goes through hours
of pain and suffering wonders why it was
not possible to prepare in some way for
the baby's advent, and to avoid the
agony that seemed almost unendurable.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
one medicine for women which prepares
them perfectly, both for the burdens and
pleasures of maternity It prevents the
morning sickness from which so many
women milTcr. It strengthens the whole
body, so that there is no nervousness nor
anxiety. It promotes a healthy appetite
and causes refreshing sleep. It gives the
mother strength for her trial and makes
the baby's advent practically painless.
Healthy mothers have healthy children,
and it is the general testimony of those
who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription as a preparatic for mother
hood, that the children were healthier
aud happier than those born after
months of mental mfcerv aud physical
anguish on the part of the- prospective
mother.
Sick and ailing women are invited to
consult Dr. Pierce by letter absolutely
without fee or charge. As chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., Dr.
R. V. Pierce, assisted by his staff of
nearly a score of physicians, has in the
past thirty years anil over treated and
cured more than half a million sick and
suffering women. The testimonials of
these cured women are on record. A
large number of them were cured when
doctors had pronounced a cure impossi
ble and after enduring years of uselei)
suffering.
I,et no sick womcu hesitate to take ad
vantage of Dr. Pierce's offer, but write
at once and so secure the professional
counsel of a specialist in the diseases of
orncn, entirely free. All correspond
ence strictly private and sacredly confi
dential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buf
falo, N. V.
Hoped for Doath.
"For the sake of poor suffering women, I feel
It my duty to Inform you of the great benefit
your medicine has giren me," writes Mrs. Callle
Bowles, of Watts, Iredell Co , N, C. " I wu in a
msit miserable condition when I wrote to you.
I bad uterine discnc m bad I could scarcely
walk and suffered such dreadful misery I hoped
to be relieved by death. You wrote to mr to

like a new woman I feci thankful to Cod and
to Dr. Pierce for the blesitnm I now enjoy, I
have a fine bljr boy, two mouth old and neer
got aloux as well In my life. I can't praise your
medicine enough."
Very ThmnkfuL
"I will be very triad to say a frw word for Dr,
Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes Mrs. P. 8.
Douglas, of Mansonvllte, Drome Co., Quebec.
"During the first four mouths when I looked
forward to becoming a mother I suffered very
touch from nausea and vomiting anil I felt so
tcrriblt slclc I could scarcely eat oi drink any.

wrote to Dr. Pierce aud he told me to get his
Favorite Prescription ' and a bottle of 'Golden
Medical Discovery.' I got a bottle of each and
when I had tsken them o few ds s, I felt much
txtter, snd when I had taken hardly three parts
of each bottle I felt well and could eat as well as
any out, and could do my work without anv
trouble, (I could not do any thing before), I feel
very thankful to Dr. rlcrce for his medicine and
I tell all who tell me they are sick to ret these
medicines or write to Dr. Pierce."

JACOB'S QUEER. ADVENTURE.
Jncob Sccrlat, a young man residing
nt China, a small hamlet near Deposit,
mot with a queer adventure, a few
days ulnce. While visiting an aunt,
near Red Rock, he made an effort to
unload a frun and was shot through
tho hand. The shock and pain crazed
!hlm, nnd ho wandered awav. Several
davs later he called at a farm houso
near Deposit and asked If his father
lived there, all of tho time 3lnglng and
beating time. In turning to go ho eaw
his father's team on tho opposite sld
of tho river. In going towards tho
team he fell Into the river several
times, but was rescued by his fathor,
who took him to Deposit and had hh
wounds dressed. Tho young man Is
now gradually lecovcrlng.

Every man In this country would bu

RANDOM OBSERVATIONS.
"Poverty is no disgrace." And the
same may be said of the smallpox.
Tho first thing In boots Is tho lust.
In tho sharp business competition ot
these days, the merchant who doesn't
advertise in tho newspapers doesn't do
much business.

guard the audience or congregation
while making their exit, are generally
men cf standing.
When a pilvate citizen dies, the edi

DURYEA.
For some time past Ednall .fc Claus
en, lelull dealers ut tills place, have
been missing dry goods, and, natur
ally, have had their suspicion on a
woman who was In the habit of calling
at the more to find out tho cost of
certain goods. Their tusplcion proved
correct Saturday morning, for at that
time the lady once more put in her ap
pearance at the store. The clerks u ere
busy cleaning the store for the day's
work und therefore did not notice hr
when sho quietly slipped a piece of
outing llannel from the shelf under her
fhawl. After bhe had left the stoie a
neighbor came In and told them that
the lady was running away with some
unwrapped goods. She gave her name
as Gluchnlc, which proved to be false.
Her name Is Mcchonlcs. Her husband
was notified of tho circumstances, hut
he refused to help her, because, as he
stated, she had stolen different things
from the house and had tiaded thein
for liquor. Tito constable was in
structed to commit the prisoner to
Jail, but shortly after Mr. Edsall hid
left tho '.squire's office he was Informed
that the lady had escaped from the
constable. The prisoner has not yet
been captured, but Edsall & Clausen
are detei mined to capture her.
An attempt was made to enter Rev.
Green's house a few evenings ago. but
the attempt failed.
Frlduy mornlncr some of thr amninm.
of the William A. colliery tried 'to
break a hoisting engine drum Into
pieces so as to be able to remove It
to a different station. To do this tiioy
placed several sticks of dynamite in It
and when It exploded there was a deaf
ening noise which startled pvorv em
ploy and resident of this town, fol
lowed quickly by a shower of Iron
which rained through the loofs of the
different buildings near the breaker.
People ran to places of safety. Several
of tho buildings were damaged, wlu
dows being broken and also a consider
able portion of the fan house blown
away. Damage will amount to about
$250.
Saturday Edsall & Clausen gave their
employes a treat In the way of an ex
cellent dinner that could not havo been
better arranged In any 'of the fosh
lonablo hotels. At the close of the re
past the employers Informed the clerics
that hereafter they could use a neatly
arranged room for a lunch room.
The entertainment held nt the Bap
tlst church the other evening was very
largely attended nnd enjoyed.
Tho social held at H. L. Edsall's un
