THE PARK FOUNTAIN
STIRS UP TALK
The Councilman Discuss Nothing
Else but How to Oet Around the
Question of Avoiding the Install
ing of Another Metor What They
Havo to Say.
When you meet a Carbondale coun
cilman these days, the topic that he Is
most llkelv to discuss with oti Is the
question of the meter that the Consoli
dated Water company wants to Install
to measure the water that will pass
through the water fountain In front of
Memorial park. The councilman will
not hesitate to argue this matter, een
If the heat be blistering, nnrt he Is.
likely to fieller himself of opinions
that will rival the weather man's hot
wave.
As stated In this column last week, It
Is the Insistence of the water company
In the order for an additional meter
that has kindled the tire of indignation.
The water company won't brook the
suggestion of allowing the water to
flow through the fountain In question
without a'metei, and the councllmen
fall to see any good tea.son for not al
lowing the meters that do service at
the other fountain", one at either end
of the city, be the guides for comput
ing the cost of the park fountain. These
fountains cost $10 to maintain them
last year, and If this could be taken
as a basis for the park fountain, then
the expenre of Installing .1 meter,
about $25, would be avoided. The sl7e
of the pipe is the same in nil of 'ie
fountains, and It Is leasonable to
Mime, the councllmen argue, that r
more water would pass thtough the
fountain in front of the park than
either of the othets. The water com
pany thinks differently. It holds that
there's likely to he a difference of pres
sure that would make a difference In
the quantity of water parsing from the
fountain, hence its Insistence about the
meter.
Another phase of the muddle that
disturbs the councllmen and Is the
means of their waxing warm is the big
difference between the combined ex
pense of the park fountains and the
other fountains. The fountain at the
lower end of the city cost $40, last year.
The fountain in the park and the foun
tain outside of the rarft cost $156,
nearly four times as much, though the
pipe of the latter, It Is claimed, la
smaller by an elchth of nn Inch What
Is more puzzling to the councllmen Is
that the waste water from the park
fountain Is what supplied the fountain
outside, but notwithstanding this the
cost, or expense, was four times as
murh as tho fountains In the other
parts of the cltv, wheie the pipe, it Is
claimed, Is larger. This is what dis
turbs the urbinlty of the councllmen
and causes them to be greatly wrought
up these warm days
THE FAIR STORE ENTERED
Youthful Thieves Climb Through nn
Inviting Open Window and Get at
tho Cash Drawer, Which Was
Opened The Police Investigating.
The "Fair." the novelty store on
North Main street, was entered by
burglars, presumably bojs, some time
Sunday night or early vosterdny morn
ing. Entrance was gained by piling
boxes on top of each other until there
were fnough to reach a window which,
the police say, was open. The manner
in which entrance was effected lead
the police to believe that bovs were
the ones who visited the place, it is
not believed, however, that It was
small boys, but ones who ate of a good
size.
After gaining entrance the lads made
for the cash drawer, which they broke
open. There was no money before
them, the proprietor having wisely
placed it in a safer place, where the
thieves could not get at it. It was
money that the visitors were after, for
- there were two mileage books in the
drawer which were not taken. The
proprietor did not miss any articles
taken from the store's stock, though it
is possible that some small articles
were carried off, but not In a quantity
or number to be missed.
Chief MeAndrew has the robbery un

CAR JUMPS TRACK.
Liko tho Happening at Jermyn a
Fow Weeks Ago, Car Leaves the
Rails While Moving Along a
Straight Track Strikes Against a
Polo, Which Snaps Off Close to tho
Ground Passengers Shook Up,
but No One Injured.
Tho street car accident at Jermyn, a
few weeks ago, was duplicated last
night, but on a smaller scale, vjien a
north-bound car, due here about S
o'clock, left the rails, while proceeding
along a straight track, Just south of
the power house nt Mayfleld, and
ploughed Into a pole, which it caused
to snap off a foot or so above the
ground. The passengers had a fortun
ate escape from Injuries, though they
were pretty well shaken up and showed
signs of disturbed nervous s stems
after the rommotlon was over.
Like the .Teimyn happening, last
night's accident occurred while the ear
was moving along a straight track,
clear of switches and frogs. It would
appear that the car left tho rails be
cause of a depression in the roadbed,
of which there are any number be
tween Peckvllle nnd Forest City, and
which ate the means of causing the
cars on this end of the Scranton Ball
way companv's lines, all but a few of
which have only single tracks, to rock
like a stotm-tossed ship nt sea. The
car, when It left the talis, ploughed
Into 'i pole, which supported the com
pany's feed wire. The pole was strong
and stout, but tho fotce of the collis
ion, due in a measurp to the speed of
the car, broke the pole off nt the base.
The singular spectacle was then wit
ncsrcdfif the pole swinging In the air,
suspended by the wires which rested
on It.
The poles along the locality of the
accident are close to the tracks, only
a few feet distant, so when the car
Jumped the tails, only the front wheels
Xvent off. the resisting pole thus check
ing It. The position of the car was
such that the trolley did not leave the
cahle.
Last night's accident Is the third or
fourth of a like character, beginning
with the wteck nt Jermvn. The one
Just pilor to last night was on Satur
day evening, nnd before this, on the
fourth of Julya broken axle ditched a
car as it was leaving a switch north of
this city.
List night's accident also brings to
notice the protests which go up dally
ftom the tesldents of this city and
those along the line from Peckvllle to
Forest Cltv, agnlnst the condition of
the roadbed and the rickety cars that
are In service between these points.
These protests tiave t cached to a loud
clamor for a betterment of the service.
In which The Tribune has been asked
on more than one occasion to lend Its
voice In the hope of bringing about a
recognition of what the patrons of the
road believes the railway company
owes them.

Character Drawn from Life, Whose

person of an Edinburgh ptofessor of
medicine Dr Doyle studied tinder
him. "Gentlemen," this wonderful pro
fessor would say to the students. "I
am not quite sure whether this man
Is a corkeutter or a slater. I observe
a slight hatdenlng on one side of his
forefinger and a little thickening on
one side of his thumb, and that Is a
sure sign he la one or the other." "Ah!"
he would say to another patient. You
are a soldier and you have served In
Bermuda as a non-commlssloned of

he would point jut that the man came

Miss A Brady, Corresponding Secre

from 2725 .Indiana avenue, Chicago, 111.:
"Last year from continued strain
in literary work I beoame very
much exhausted, my nervea seemed
to give wny, and I hsd backache,
headache and serious indigestion.
"One of my friends suggested that
I try Peruna. It certainly acted
like magic on my Bystem.
"Within ten days'I felt new life
and health given me. an by taking
an occasional dose off and on when
I feel extra tired, I keep my system
in perfect order." Miss A. Brady.
Mrs. Fanny Klavadatscher, of Sum
mltsvllle, N. Y., writes as follows:
"It Is not necessary to suffer when
a bid case of pelvic catarrh can bo
cured with two bottles of Peruna. From
my own experience I can recommend It
to every one.
"For three months T suffered with
pain in the back nnd In the region of
the kidneys, and a dull pressing sensa

toms of pelvic catarrh.
"But after taking two bottles of Pe

ever was," Mrs. Fanny Klavadatscher.

hat, as he would enter the orderly
roojn, that his air showed that he was
a non-commissioned officer, nnd that a
rash he had on his forehead was known
only In Bermuda. It was from this
man Dr. Conan Doyle evolved Sher
lock Holmes, tho man who saw a clew
to a murder In a broken twig and
scented a ctimlnal from a tear In a
piece of paper.
The killing of Sherlock Holmes Is
now considered by Dr. Doyle's ft lends
to be one of the greatest mistakes
ever made by an author. "It must
have been like blowing up a gold mine,"
says one of them. There were un
developed sources of untold wealth In
Sherlock living, but with his death alt
his Intrinsic value passed away It
was In Switzerland that Dr. Dojle de
cided that Sherlock must die, and a
novelist friend with him at the time.
Silas Hocking, suggested that since
Doyle Insisted on killing the goose that
laid the golden egg he might take the
detective out Zermat way and drop him
over a precipice. That Is exactly
what the author did and Sherlock
Holmes had hatdly fallen down that
fearful crag before Dr. Dpyle began re
ceiving letters from ladles beginning.
"You beast!" But he never regretted
his disposal of his famous character.

SOMETHING OF A WHEAT KING.
Former Clerk Bought Kanaas Farm
Land and Is a Millionaire.
From the Kansas City World
The wheat rentals of John T. Stew
art, of Sumner county, will amount to
neatly 100,000 bushels of wheat this
year. In his home county he owns 115
quarter sections of land and about 30
quatter sections In adjoining counties
Ho rents the lands on the basis of halt
the yield, he furnishing all the seed
and taking chances of secutlng a ctop
It Is estimated that If all the wheat
due him on rentals this year was ship
ped in one consignment it would te
qulre seventeen freight ttalns of fif
teen cars each to take It to market.
His rentals In wheat last year netted
him $15,000. In addition to owning
about $350,000 worth of land, every foot
of it paid for, he has nearly $230,000
worth of bank stock and $300,000 In
vested In farm lands In Sumner county
and Oklahoma.
About twenty-five ears ago Mr.
Stewart began life as a clerk in on oh
scute office In this city at $60 a month.
He slept In the offlce and was economi
cal In other ways. He began loaning
money In Sumner county about twenty
jears ago, and has developed Into a re
mat kable financier. It Is said that his
ambition is to finally own a rnlroad,
and he may gratify it, as he is still a
very oung man, not more than 45. He
cutrles n small memoiandum book in
his pocket and It Is said that he can
take It out at any hour of the day
when required nnd tell every debtor
exactly what his account Is. Indeed. It
is said that accounts of his vast trans
actions are always kept In a book that
fits his trousers pocket '
It is said that he lives on less than
$100 per month and that outside of this
his lnrgest annual expense is $500 to
the Methodist church his wife and
large family attend. He Is not fond
of ttavcllng except to go to a Demo
cratic convention, a diversion he Is
passionately fond of. He Is a pro
nounced temperance man, and, it is
said believes in the prohibition laws of
Kansas.
The people of Wellington insist that
his success Is due to luck, but it isn't.
He has a genius for making money
and nine-tenths of It Is hard work.
That luck attends him, however, Is
certnln.
The great Welllngtou cyclone of 1S92
picked him up and absolutely pasted
him to the gable of a big barn and
kept him stuck to it for more thin
half a minute, as if he was the pic
ture of a man unstead of the real thing.
When the tornado had passed he drop
