DEBT LIMIT
NOT PASSED
MINO0KA CAN HAVE ITS NEW
SCHOOL HOUSE.
President Judge Edwnrds Befves
the Injunction Prayed for by tne
Lackawanna Township Taxpayers
to Prevent the School Board from
Incurring a $25,000 Expense for a
New School Rules That the
Money Owing from Mooslc Bor
ough Can Bo Considered.
An opinion dealing with several In-
jrestlnpr features nf the much rlls
eUHsed question of tho constitutional
limit or municipal or school district In
Jcbtcdnpss was handed down by Presi
dent Judge H. M Hdwnitli, yesterday,
In the ease of Dollan ot al. against the
School District of Lackawanna town
ship and others, In which ho refuses
the Injunction prayed for.
The plaintiffs seek to enjoin the
school board from erecting a new
schcol building In Mlnookn, alleging
that the district's Indebtedness would
bo Increased beyond the two per cent.
limit.
The defense was that while It was
true the limit would be passed by a
few hundred dollars, the margin Is
easily ovenun by the money which Is
now, and was at the time of the letting
of the building contracts, owed to
Lackawanna township by the borough
of Mooslc, and further that In June,
before the building will be completed
and the debt actually Incut red, the
new bo.ird of directors can lay a tac
as high as thirteen mills, enough a
doyen tlmps over to meet the margin
of excess.
The plaintiffs hold that as the P ir
tltlon proceedings to deteimlne the
debt of Mooslc to Lackawanna are
still pending and the amount of the
Indebtedness undatermled, the money
that may be owing from Mooslc can
not be considered an asset at the time
of the awarding of the contincts List
Apill, and that, as to the assessment,
that can bo made in June next, court
can not anticipate the action or the
bcnid. It being whollv within Ithe dis
cretion of the new bo.ud as to whether
or lot it will make piovislon for the
exerts debt.
THE .TUDOI7S FINDING.
Judge Edwards finds that the limit
lias been overreached, but rules that
Mooslc debt was an asset at the time
the contracts were made. To opin
ion In full is as follows:

A person gets a better Idea of tho
enormous size of thp drill loom of the
now armory fiom an Incident which
occuricd at Inst night's meeting of tho
decoration committee than from any
figures stating the dimensions. A dec
orator was explaining the design for
n band stand which he had matte to
occupy tlie center of the floor, when
ono of the committee stated that he
would ptefer to hao the band stand
elected at ellhei end of the drill loom.
The deeotntnr tepllcd that If the band
stand was placed as the comnilttoman
suggested the music would bo hentri
so faintly at the other end of the
loom that It would be Impossible to
dance to It. He based his statement
upon the fact that a peison standing
at one end of the riiitl loom cannot
undet stand a person standing at tho
other end, no matter how loud lie may

howeer. hi this lit.st lontino and they
began to s.ue monev for tho put pose
ot building the greatest ciicus in the
woilri. The ienli,it!nn of this chllri
dteam Is one of tho mat vols of amuse
ment histoty.
A j ear later the liojs again erected
a "mammoth p.t llinn" anil began op
ctatlont on a capital of sT. Their iiii
nageiio was i (imposed of a In Indie
tomcat in a bird tage, a tin key bu
zaiel and n billy Roat. They had also
come Into possession of a dlscaidori
hoi so. which had outgrown its useful
ness as a milk dealei's nag.
Their Hist peifoi manic did not cut
mile h llgtito in the amusement woild,
tlioiiRh the goat tutnished food for a
wilte-up in the local papeis bv his un-elicus-llke
coniluct. Just as the "gi.ind
entie" was winding .imund in tiont ot
tho iiutllence of chlldion tho goat took
offence at the pai.tsol of (l llttlo miss
and sailed Into the hem lies with plle
diher action, scat toting the oung
stei.s and then unmet cifully welting it
to tho Muing ciicus men who had
.signed It out tor the season.
As soon as the Uingllng boys i renv
oi oil from thelt hi ul.ses they weie back
in business again, but without the
go.it. They met with such success In
pleasing the joung loIUs that the tnl
lowlng .summer thev bought theli Hist
leal tent, lented a wagon and riiove to
the nelgliboilng lllages, stajlng a
week in each place and dunging live
cents admission. Otto Itlngllng was
tlie advance man, and he did all tho
ari ot Using and i outing. Al. Itlngllng
exhibited a tialned hoi.se and did a
Juggling act. cinu lie sang, and took
up tickets. Alfieri was ticket seller
and ilngmahter, and John was thu
clow n.
Five yea is later tho biotheis bought
their Ht.st wild animal a hyena, iiy
this time their ciicus had thiee houses,
two wagons and ten peifotmeis. They
hurt teal llthogiaphs, too, to adveitlso
their coming, and they ventuied ns
far away fiom homo one Mimmcr as
one hundied miles.
Fiom this .small beginning thev
steadily gtew. Eloum enis aim they
made their Hist tour as a laltioad
bhow, Each .season slneo they havo
added to their oiganbatlon, till today
It Is the laigcst and best that Amotion
has ever Known. Tho special tuiln
which tianspoits It Horn city to city
lacks but ISO feet of being one mile In
lengtb Its tents cour twelve notes nf
ground, Its stables contain EOS houses
and It owns mote than one-halt the
elephants in this countiy.
The Itlngllng ciicus has never vis
ited Sctantun, but Its, jepututlon Is
known fiom Maine to California and
fiom Canada to Mexico, and It will
not take tho peoplo of this city long to
teallzo Its magnitude, when It steams
In town Tuesday motnlng on Its im
mense tiaiu.
One leabon why this Institution has
wop the absoluto confldonco of the pub
lie In tllstiicts wheio It In known Is
because It Is absolutely clean In all Its
dealings. It Is a bhow whlih Impioves
on acuualntunce, for It keeps absolute
faith with tho public: and spends thou
bands of dollaiis ooiy spabon for the
puiposu of keeping it fiee tioin all fea
tmes that aio objectionable.
It maintains Its own tletectlve fence,
the iluly of which Is to keep all ciooks
and confident e men uway fiom tho
towns in which It exhibits. The supei
intendent of this force Is Chailes
Hyan. of the XMnkcrton agency, who Is
piobably the best rogue catcher In
America.

The Woman
Who Was Lost
k,uu ....f .,y.K...
While Bho wan pondering the Btttmtion, she san a fino healthy
woman coming toward her, and asked liar: "Do you know
where Wcllvillc is?" "Of couiho I do," wns tho answer.
"I live there." The
as to tho way to "Wellvitlo and piiHsed jn. But Mrs. Koo
stood still. " Suppose," she said to herself, " that tliis woman
is deceiving me. Perhaps alio doesn't live in "Wellvillo or
know the way." And while she was still pondering, another
woman came by and Mrs. Koo accosted her. " How can I
get to Wellvillo?" she asked. Again tho way was pointed
out, and tho stranger passed on. But Mrs. Roe still stood in
AUh tfcaAAtl - 1 a ! wt ft Al. .1;-... i! .. .
iui; man, iveiiuciiuy
trustwortiiy.
Ono would say that Mrs. Roe must be a very singular
woman. She wanted to go to Wollville, could not find tlio
way, and yet doubted tho information given her by two of
her own sex who had no motive in the world for deceiving
her. But Mrs. Roe is not at all singular. Thcro aro many
like her. luey arc sick ana want to be well. Not two
women, but scores and thousands, say, " We know tho way '
to be well. We aro well after years of sickness, and wo can
tell you, as a matter of experience, that Dr. Pierce's Favorito ,$
Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women '
well." But still tho Mrs. Roes stand hesitating, wondering
whether they aro being deceived by the women who point
the way to health.
Often thcro is a natural reason for this doubt and hesi
tancy. Directions given by friends havo been perhaps fol
lowed without result. Perhaps tho local physician lias said
there is no way by which you can regain health. But a largo
number of the women who have been cured by the use
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription have gone through
tho same experience. Friends advised this or that
medicine but it failed to cure. Doctors said : "There
is no hope of health for you," and at the last, the use of
"Favorito Prescription" healed disease and restored
perfoot and permanent health.
"You have my heart-felt thanks for the kind advice you sent
me," writes Mrs. Florence Archer, of Eason, Macon Co., Tenn.
"Words fail to express what I eudured for about eight years
with female trouble. The awful pain that I had to endure each
month, no tongue can express. These bearing-down pains,
backache, headache, distress in my stomach, and sores m my
breast, cramp in limbs they have all left me and health has
taken plice of these distressing troubles What caused them
to leave? It was tlie best medicine on earth Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription. For the first three or four days after tak
ing the medicine I cot worse. Had you not tolcl me that I
should be apt to feel
in one week s tune l oegan to icet uetter. Alter talcing six nottlos ot
the ' Favorite Prescription ' and using tlie local treatment jou atUised I
felt like a new woman."
Dr. Pierce's Favoiite Prescription cuies womanly diseases.
Hundreds of thousands of women testify to that fact. It has
cured in cases where every other available means and medicine had uttcily failed
to give more than temporary relief. "Favorite Picsciiption" establishes icgu
larity, dries tho drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration
and cures female weakness. For expectant mothers it has no equal. It prevents
or cures moining sickness, tianquilues the nerves, encourages the appetite and
induces refreshing sleep. It gives great muscular vigor and elasticity and so
makes the baby's advent piactically painless. It is the best known tonic for
nursing mothers.
" Without solicitation from you I feel it my duty to suffering women, to make known the '
virtues of your ' Favorite Prescription,' in curing me of a complication of diseases," writes
Mrs Mary J. Weida, of Allentown, Pa., 391 Oak Street. I had heart trouble for about
three years and was so weak anil run-down that I had to force myself to attend to my
household duties. The least excitement would cause my heart to flutter, and during its
normal periods it would every now and then seem to lose a beat, which affected me through
my whole system, even the raising of my hands above my bead, -would make me so weak
that I had to sit down awhile t recover myself. All these ills have given way to the cura
tive power of your 'Favorite Prescription.' Tlie greatest relief was received prior to the
coming of my little one; during the six previous experiences I was afflicted with morning
sickness from beginning to end of each period, but after using your remedy for one week, I
was entirely relieved of that distressing affliction. No one can appreciate what a relief that
was, sae those who have actually experienced it."
Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters arc
held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Addiess Dr. R. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y.
If you arc led to tho puichaso of " Favorite Prescription," because of its re
markable cures of other women, do not accept a substitute which has nono of
these cures to its credit.
