RACES ON ICE
PROVED GREAT SPORT
Exciting Brushes on the Glistening
- Surface of Crystal Lake The Win
ning' Horses and Their Records.
, Tho horse racing on Crystal lake
yesterday was the magnet which drew
hundreds of Carbondale lovers of fast
horses to that vicinity. The condi
tion of the Ice and the weather were
Just to order for the sport, and the
races were as exciting us one would
care to see.
.Shortly after 1 o'plock the first race
was called. It was open to5 pacers, tho
prize to the winning horse being a
pair of blankets. J. J. Simpson sat
behind Slick Ilogan, Levi Patterson
handled the ribbons over Upton Girl,
and Gus Patterson took care of Wilkes
Bledlum. Upton Girl captured tho first
nnd second heats, though not without
-a great struggle with Simpson's pacer.
The two were neck and neck from tho
.start to finish, and Upton Girl won
out by a small length. Mick Hogan
captured tho next two, and the fifth
was a dead heat. On tho next heat,
Upton Girl won out, but was hard
pushed for tho victory. In the next
race, there were throe starters, Clarre
Holllster's Ben, M. D. Scurry's Joe,
and the bay maro owned by D. Mor
rison. G. Mills drove the latter horse
nnd succeeded In bringing his horse
in, the tlrst three heats out of five..
The next race scheduled was be
tween V. Wonnncot's roan and Big
Bones, owned by Howard Johns, of
Forest City. Big Bones captured this
llrst heat, but the next three were
captured handily by Wonnacott's fast
one. This ended the scheduled race3,
but an Impromptu race between horses
owned by farmers was put on. It was
exciting and bordering on tho ludi
crous. The two horses dashed over the
course on a dead gallop and showed
a desire to keep running nil day, but
tho drivers at last succeded in stop
ping tho fiery steeds. The meet was v.
prcat success, and a repetition of it
may ne nau in a few weeks.
ASSAILED A LAD.
Gorman Berry Arrested for Striking
John Benisco Over the Head.
There was a case of assault at the
Black Diamond breaker on Wednesday
that had its sequel in Alderman Jones'
court, when tho assailant, Gorman
Kerry, of Belmont street, was held In
J500 ball for his appearance at court.
The. victim of Berry's attack was a
lad name,d John Bennlsco, aged 14
years, a slatcpicker at the colliery. Tho
utory told In tho alderman's office would
indicate that tho assault was unpro
voked. Bennlsco, with a number of his
nssoelates at work, were in tho boiler
room of the breaker, enjoying a short
recess. Berry came in In quest of a
board upon which the lad was sitting.
It is claimed that he spoke harshly to
tho boy, who was slow In responding to
Berry's request to get ore the board.
This angered the man, and when he
got possession of the board he dealt
Bennlsco a fearful blow across tho
head. Then ho fled.
Bennlsco was carried to the emer
gency hospital connected with the
breaker, which proved of great service
in tho treatment of tho boy's injuries.
By tho time a physician was called, the
lad's wound had been bandaged, ap
preciably relieving him.
, Constable Neary arrested Berry, who
was located in a nearby house. When
nrralgned he was held to court, and
Wis able to furnish the security,

The production will not bo seen hero

It la needless to assure the patrons of

who may go to enjoy It. It will be

IN ALDERMAN'S COURT.
Youthful Offenders Squeal on Each
Other Bfcfore 'Squire Delavan.
Alderman Delavan had several youth
ful offenders before him last evening,
who did some "squealing" on each
other about several small robberies that
took place during tho past six months.
The accused In tho case In which tho
revelations took place was Joseph Bon
nettl. He was charged with tho lar
ceny of an overcoat from Arthur Tnp
pan, which, It was claimed, was stolen
at the tennis grounds on Sunday last.
Tho evidence, however, was not strong
enough to hold Bonnetll und he wns
discharged.
It was during the heurlng that tho
lads who were witnesses "peached" and
charged one another with complicity In
several petty burglaries. Those In
volved were tho breaking Into the
Delaware and Hudson coal pockets
olllce and the confectionery store of
Henry Berry, on Belmont street. The
booty In each Instance was light, prin
cipally tobacco. Bonnetll, Horace Geary
and Sam Arnold worn thp lads who
either accused or who Incriminated
themselves by their own admissions.
No action has been taken In either of
these two canes.
WO. 1 MINE TO START.
Coal Chutes to Be Erected on Site of
Destroyed Breaker.
It will be good news to hear that the
men In No. 1 mine of tho Delaware and
Hudson will be back at their work
within a rew weeks. Cnrncnterss will
commence work this morning on tho
coal chutes, or pockets, that are to be
erected on the site of No. 1 breaker,
which was destroyed several weeks ago,
supposedly by an Incendiary.
Tho pockets will accommodate lump
coal and coal which will be prepared
for market In the big Coalbroolc
breaker. The coal will be run through
the chutes into cars and hauled to the
breaker, the chutes serving as a tem
porary storage and a means to trans
fer tho ooal from the mines to the
beraker. The project of re-erecting the
breaker after the plans of the ono de
stroyed hns been abandoned.
Tho return or tho several hundred
Idle men to work will be like an Indus
trial boon, as the loss of their earnings
has been felt severely by tho commun
ity. THE OMAR CLUB'S DANCE.
Brilliant Social" Affair to Take Place
This Evening.
The, ,dnnw, ofttie .Qmar, chib.in the
Burke building tonight, will undoubt
edly be the greatest social success of

to towns down the valley, give good
reason for tho belief and warrant tho
prediction that the younger society of
the town will discuss the success of
this dance for some time after it has
taken place.
Tho hall will be superbly illuminated
and decorated. The Mozart orchestra
will provide dance music. ,

If between five feet throe inches and fivo feet
Bovcn inches in hoight, should weigh not more
than 140 pounds, nor leso than 120. Her bust

mora than thirty-six inches. Her liipB will mens

That is tho artistic Btandard. Accordinu: to art per

health. Nature's perfect woman is ono who is per
fectly fit for womanly functions. Of tho two, Naturo's
standard of womanly perfection is higher than that of
art. Thcro aro mora perfectly proportioned women
than women who aro perfectly healthy. But tho nat
ural standard of womanly perfection has this advantacro
over tho artistic its shortcomintrs mav bo reoaired. If
a woman fails of tho artistic requirements in height she can
not add ono cubit to her stature. If her noso lacks classical
Bhapo or her hands aro not formed on olassic models, she must
forever lack artistic perfection. It is different with tho
woman who falls Bhort of Nature's standard of perfection
health. By tho uso of proper means sho can, as n rule, be
come a perfectly healthy woman. Tho proof of this is that
there aro thousands of healthy women to-day who onco wcro
great sufferers from womanly diseases, but have been per
fectly and permanently cured by tho uso of Dr. Picrco'a
Favorito Prescription. Thoso thousands of cured women
represent tho euro of every form of womanly disease which
can be cured by medicines. No matter what form of wom
anly disease she may have, a woman knows that somo other
women have suffered with it too. Sho also needs to know
that many of thoso other women, onco diseased as sho is, aro among
tho thousands cured of womanly diseases by the uso of Dr. Picrco's
Favorito Prescription. Why should any woman endure tho tor
ments of womanly discaso find' tho misery of ill-health when
the uso of "Favorite Prescription" offers her an almost certain
cure? It is possible, and' but just possible, that in some cases no
perfect cure can bo made. Tho statistics show that two women out
of every hundred cannot bo perfectly cured. That means that tho
chances in favor of a cure aro ninety-eight out of a hundred. But
if Dr. Pierce's Favorito Prescription fails to euro in two cases out
of a hundred, it never fails to benefit in any case. It enables women
Avho could do no work to have some part ngain in household duties.
It enables women who could not sleep without using narcotics, to
sleep naturally. It reduces the pain and the suffering from wom

down pains in my back and hips for six years, and I wrote to Dr. Pierce for advice. I tried
his ' Favorite Prescription ' and sir bottles cured me. I feel like a new person and I thank Dr.
Pierce for my health. Life is a burden to any one Without health."
" I had been a .great sufferer from female weakness for about two years," writes Mrs. Emma
Richardson, of Gbse, Wayne Co., Ky. "Could not do my work part of the time. I took four
bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and felt as well as I ever did."
"About a year ago I had a mishap which left me in very poor health for some time afterward,"
writes Mrs. Cene Johnson, of Gordon, Sheridan Co., Nebr. "I employed a local doctor but got
only temporary relief, until I commenced using Dr. Pierce's medicine, which I did after consulting
you. I am now as well as ever. I took five bottles of the ' Favorite Prescription ' and one of the
' Golden Medical Discovery.' I would recommend these medicines to all who suffer as I did"
