10 PROSECUTE
"'""''" THE OLD BOARD
Ultimatum .of Poor Directors An
nounced. '.TC 'At-the1 semi-monthly meeting of Iho
-.'poor' board last night tt wnH decided to
'.7 .proceed nfiulnst the old members for
'.the tlllcgcd shortages found by the uu
tlltur. The mutter was given to the board's
solicitor, Attorney 11. C. Butler, who
will report ut the next meeting ot the
board.
Chairman Thomas presided and pre
sent were Messrs. McCabe, McMillan
nnd Secretary Williams. After the
reading of the minutes of last meet
ing Superintendent Alger, of the Polar
Creamery company, was given the
privilege of the lloor. He was present
to address the board In behalf of his
uompany, which a few weeks ago
placed one of their creameries on trial
at the poor house.
The creamery has a refrigerator com
bined with It, and besides churning,
etc., the surplus water used to operate
It Is utilized to reduce the temperature
of the storage plant of the creamery,
where victuals, etc., may be stored.
The creamery Installed at tile alms
house did not give satlstaetlon ut first,
but this was due, the company's rep
resentative said, to a lack of knowl
edge as to its operation and to ths
imimstnnee that there was no direct
water connection, which Is essential to
the operation of the contrivance. Since
then, Mr. Alger, said, lie himself had
the watter connection made and that
the creamery has continued to give sat.
isfactlon. This, he declared, the stew
ard nt the farm was willing to attest.
After (i prolonged discussion, during
which Mr. Alger urged upon the board
the acceptance of the creamery, the un
derstanding was reached that If the
creamery gave satisfaction during the
warm weather up to July I the board
would accept and pay for the apparat
us. Mr. McCabo was disinclined to ac
cept the creamery until the board
would have enough money in the treas
ury. Just now there were no funds
available, but If the tax collector at
tended to bis ofliee there would be no
stringency with the board's finances.
Mr. McCabe, for the farm commit
tee, reported that a number of fruit
trees had been grafted und that good
results were expected from the opera
tions. The matter of surcharges against the
old board, found by the auditors in
going over the accounts, was given
the board's attention by a motion or
Sir. McCabe that the present board
take stops to collect these shortages or
indebtedness from the old directors.
Mr. McCabe said it was the duty
the poor board owed to the city ot
Carbondale to recover these amounts,
and so far as he was concerned he
would advise and direct the board to
proceed to collect the money, even If it
was necessary to spend as much money
as was owing in older to carry on the
prosecution.
The motion of Mr. McCabe was car
ried on being seconded by Secretary
Williams.
Attorney II. C. Uutler, solicitor for
the board, was present and was called
.upon to enlighten the board as to how
to proceed to recover the alleged short
ages of the old directors.
The auditors' report, Mr. Butler said,
, which was not appealed from by elthei
; of the old board or present board, and
S whatever shortage or surcharges
"were there reported could be taken as
a basis on which to proceed against
-the old board. The alleged indebted
ness of the old directors could be col--leeted
on their bonds, If there were
any, and if they refused to pay if per
sonally. In the discussion' that was carried
on. Mr. McCabe and Secretary Wil
liams were alone active and they
. feelingly expressed themselves with re
gard to prosecuting the old directors,
if necessary, In order to have the ul
deged shortages settled up.
- The discission closed with another
'motion by Mr. McCabe, seconded by
"Secretary Williams, that Solicitor But
ler be given nil papers relating to the
old directors' accounts, bonds, etc.,
and that he report to the board at Us
next meeting what course the board
should pursue in Us Intended prosecu
tion. The motion was carried without
any dissent.
This, the board members said, Is
their ultimatum in the case of the old
directors, and that their prosecution
may be expected to follow.

lary at the store of Grocer John Mohr,

Interest in the Stourbridge Lion.
The announcement that u model of
the Stourbridge Lion, tho first loco
motive that ever turned a wheel in
America, will be on exhibition at the
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo,
awakens local .Interest.
The fact that this primitive means
of railroad conveyance was llrst run
at Honesdale, lias a local Interest, but
of more interest is tne fact that Car
bondale was for many years tlu home
of tile largest part of the llrst loco
motive. Reference is made to tho
boiler, which, after changing owner
ship several times and being moved
about from place to place, it came
Into the hands of the firm or Lindsay
it Early, founders, on Seventh avenue,
now dissolved. The firm used tho
boiler for siveral years, until It passed
its usefulness. It was then discarded
and for many years was stored in
a shed on Eighth avenue. About ten
years ago Mr. Early, one of the own
ers' of this valuable relict of pioneer
railroading, moved by the belief that
the public would appreciate the chance
of viewing the historical relic, took it
to Scranton, where it was exhibted
for several days. The Smithsonian In
stitute, at Washington, opened cor
respondence with Mr. Early with the
hope of obtaining possession of the
boiler to display it with some other
parts of the original Stourbridge Lion,
a. couple of tho wheels. The matter
was ended with Mr. Early shipping
the boiler to Washington, whore it has
a'consplcuous plcae among tha multi
tude of historical relics on exhibition,

PERUNA ALWAYS WINS
,. t
Some Remarkable Cures of Catarrh
of the Stomach and Neuralgia.
.'2wlJv'.' ..,iKg5'-V"' "wUS""' .
A mr pr
Hon. ii. A. Frost, manager of the
Windsor-Clifton House, corner of Mon
roe street and Wabasli avenue, Chi
cago, 111., says in a. recent letter to Tho
Poruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, O.,
the following wordu in praise of their
catarrh remedy, Poruna:
The Peruna Medicine Company,
Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen "Before taking Peru
na I had suffered for twenty years
from malaria to the extent that I
had chronic neuralgia of the stomach
and could not sit out in the night
air without suffering the next day.
I had tried many so-called remedies
but with only partial and temporary
relief. It has been two years since
I used Peruna but I am satisfied that
my cure is complete and permanent.,"
Edwin A. Frost.
NOTHING- in the world produces
more disastrous aonetnu. of the
nerve centers than neuralgia.
Anv one who bus ever had neuralgia
will find 'himself constantly liable to
nervous troubles. This is especially
true If he has been subject to taking
much quinine.
Peruna Increases Nutrition.
Neuralgia is always an expression of
nerve weakness. Some nerve center
hus been deprived of nutrition, and
1 uralgla is, the signal of distress
which this nerve center Is able to
make. Thus it is that neuralgia de
pends on a want of nutrition of the
nerve centers.
Peruna increases tlie nutritive value
of the food and does it by correcting
the digestive organs. After the diges
tive organs' have once been put in
good working order by Pdruua then
the food L able to properly nourish tho
body.
This is how it happens that Peruna
cures many cases of old neuralgia.
whli.ii have resisted all other forms of
treatment, Peruna is not a snccilio
for neuralgia, but it is a, speclllc for
catarrhal affection of tho digestive or
gans. There is no remedy In the world
that is so surb to put the digestive
organs iu good working order as Po
runa. Peruna Strikes tho Source.
All diseases, including neuralgia,
that depend on a want of proper nu
trition are curable by a. course of Pe
runa. Peruna strikes at tlie founda
tion of all chronic diseases by increas
ing' tho nutritive function of tlie diges
tive organs.
The case of neuralgia narrated by
will servo a II) cents supper. The menu
will consist eliieily of cake cot'lVo ami
ice cream. Supper will be served from
7 to 10 o'clock, ruder the supervision
of these young ladles, thp.se suppers
have become and are the best served
in tlie town. A general Invitation is ex
tended to tlie public.

Doctors Surprised.
N. E. Bunker, Newman, Cal.. writes:
"I was sick for nine years with 0110
of the worst cases of catarrh of the
stomach possible. All the time I did
not have a natural taste in my mouth.
Could not eat, barely kept life In mo
iby nibbling could eat nothing of any
substance, only soft foods, and little
of that. I got as low as 10S pounds.
Tho first cause was la grippe. By acci
dent I used Peruna; began It last Feb
ruary. 1 have now been well six or
seven months entirely well. Am
heavier than for thirty years. Doctors
are surprised as are all my friends,
I have advertised Peruna extensively
iu many parts of the state; personally,
many are helped. I am very thank
ful," N. E. Bunker.
"Nover Pelt Better."
Mrs'. 'J'. E. Freeh writes from Excell,
Tenn., as follows:
"Having been afflicted" with catarrh
and stomach trouble for seven years l
tried four different doctors. They only
relieved me for a little while. I gavo
up all hope of being cured, having
been reduced to I3U pounds. I was so
weak I could scarcely get out of the
room. I was induced to try Peruna.
and to my groat surprise I am now en
tirely well. My weight Is now ISS'
pounds and I never felt "better in my
life. 1 shall always pralso Dr. Hurt
uiau und his remedies." Mrs. T.
