CARBONDALE SWEPT
BY ANOTHER BLIZZARD
Storm less Severe Than a Tew
Weeks Ago, Fills the Roads and
Walks with Drifts That Blockade
Traffic Railroads Have Troubles.
Blizzards In this neck o' woods ap
pear to be as plentiful as eleventh
hour campaign lies and abuse.
Carhondale hud another good-sized
line yesterday, and though It was not
endowed with as much vitality as the
one which bllzzutded this. way a few
Sundays ogo anil made the town look
like a trail in the Klondike, neverthe
less it was wild enough to make heaps
of trouble. In Its wake was Interfer
ence of travel on the railroads enter
ing Carhondale, while the country
roads, which were partially blocked
since the last blow of the cold winds,
were hidden under the drifts by which
Did Boreas amused himself at laboring
during the day.
The storm began yesterday forenoon
with a light Hurry of snow that grew
in strencth until noon, when the air
was filled with whirling snow that al
most hid the buildings of the town. The
blow Increased, sending- the falling
snow In drifts here and there, filling
doorways and porches, and blocking
sidewalks and other places of dally
travel, where there should be sidewalks
nnd will be ome day, perhaps, If coun
cils are wllliu'.
The storm raged north and west o
Cnrbondnlo, and showed its power in
impeding the movements of railroad
trains. As usual, the Ontario and
Western suffered the most, the drifts
sweeping into the cuts on the moun
tain, choking the paths of trains. The
passenger train due here from Cadosla
at 1 o'clock was an hour and a halt
late. Along I'oyntelle. on the summit
of the mountain, was where the most
trouble was met with. On the Hones
ilalo branch of the Delaware ond Hud
son the engines had to puff to the limit
to get through on schedule time. The
storm also affected the Erie and the
trains on the Nineveh branch.
Throughout the city there was little
' travel, for It was one of the most se
vere days of the year. Snow blew into
one's face from the time he set out
until his journey's end. The sensation
of the snow striking the exposed per
son was llko needles pricking the skin.

THE CONTEST OP TQDAY.
The End of a Big- Political Battle Is

Parting Admonition to Voters.
Tho biggest political battle fought
In the history of Carhondale will be
ended today when the voters will settle
the contest with the most effective
weapon In the hands of the American
citizen the ballot.
The blizzard of yesterday somewhat
chilled the prospect of a big vote today,
but the chonces are that the voters,
stirred by the iinpoi'tanlce of tho con
ti st, will brave any condition and seek
the polls to cast their voles. The
heaviest poll of both parties Is looked
for. but it can be expected that the
Bepubllcun vote will be at Its best, as
the city committee has made arrange
ments to get out the biggest vote ever
cast.

Mistake in Printing1 Ballots.
An error was made In printing the
ballots for the Fifth and Sixth wards.
The ward officers were confused, and
on the Fifth ward sheet there were no

but it was remedied with new ballots
by the county commissioners, when

"SAID PASHA" WELI, SUNG.
Columbia Opera Company .Makes a
Good Impression at the Grand.
The Columbia Opera company opened
a week's engagement very favorably
at the Grand last evening, -by singing
with spirit and finish "Said Pasha,"
the operu with the Oriental suggestion
and flavor. ,
The company, as u whole, Is capable,
while several of Hie cast can claim a
good deal or merit und praise. Con
spicuous among the latter Is Chuiies
N. Holmes, as Serrano, tho Mexican
nobleman. He litis an exceedingly
sweet, vigorous tenor voice, with a
manly and robust stage appearance
lo accentuate his -worth.
Claude Anisden, the comedian, who
has been heard and enjoyed by Car
bondulo audiences before, when he was
with the AValte company, was very en
tertaining. In Edward Dillingham, as
Nockey, he has n good foil' for his fun
making. John A. Dewey wus a vigor
ous Pasha, with an enjoyable droll and
humorous side, and Miss Carlotta Oil
man was iulle attractive as Serena,
the Pasha's daughter. Miss Oilman
has a soprano, voice of sweetness and
power, which she can uso intelligently,
while sho has a churiu of manner that
makes her work most acceptable. Tho
choruses wero well given and wero a
factor in rounding out nu aceoptablo
production. Hetween tho acts, tho time
was pleasantly passed by tho audience
In watching dissolving views.
The company mado a hit with tho
big audience that crowded tho theater,
and there Is no doubt that there will
bo big audiences all week to enjoy the
pleasing and creditable work of tho
company.
"Fva Dlavola," the opera which Is
filled with sweetest music, will be sung
tonight, Tho Dempsoy Sisters, who
aro clever dancers, will appear be
tween tho acts.

arrested and told libs llko the principal

Many analysts of cheap
and cough and throat
clearly proven that a large proportion of
them contain opiates.
The temporary relief which these cheap
fi medicines often give in
especially v.'ith the little children, is because
the opiate, by destroying the nerve sensation,
the irritation in the throat, which causes the
cough, is temporarily removed, but the real
cause of the cold is not in any way removed
by the opiate and will promptly return.
The best thing to use to remove the cat
arrhal secretion which causes the cold, the
hoarseness and irritating cough, is a new
preparation composed of antiseptics like Eu
calyptol, lied Gum of Kucalyptus tree, Blood
Root, etc., under name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, which contain no opiate, cocaine or
poisonous drug of any sort.
A mother living in Charleston, Mass., the
happy possessor of four children, writes:
"Every fall and winter I have laid in a stock
of cough medicines, croup mixtures, and
throat remedies for my little children, for
somehow or other they never seemed to be
free from colds, croup or sore throat.
"This fall I made a change in the usual
program. I had myself been cured of an ob
stinate catarrh, from which I had suffered for
years, by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and as
they were pleasant to take I determined to
try them with my children. Our family phy
sician told me he knew them to be perfectly
safe and nothing better could be taken. So
I gave them to the children and have con
tinued to do so ever since, whenever there is
the least sign of croup or sore throat, and I
no longer dread the approach of cold weather
as I once did.
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets not only cured
me of chronic nasal and throat catarrh, but
and settled In Carhondale. About 40
years ago the family moved to this
place where she has resided ever since.
Mrs. Burke was a woman of many
noble fiualltles and was beloved by all

nie many an anxious
and that nothing would cure it except a
change of climate, which my business affairs
would not permit me to take.
"My nostrils were almost always cldgged
up, and I had lo breathe through the mouth,
causing an inflamed, irritated throat. The .
thought of eating breakfast often nauseated
me and the satarrh gradually getting into my
stomach, took away my appetite and digestion.
' ' My druggist advised me to try a 50 cent
box: of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because he
said he had so many customers who had been
cured of catarrh by the use of these tablets,
and he felt he could honestly recommend
them. I took his advice and used several
boxes with results that surprised and de
lighted me.
"I always keep a box of Stuart's Catarrh,
Tablets in the house and the whole family
use them freely on the first appearance of a
cough or cold in the head.
"With our children we think there is noth
ing so safe and reliable as Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets to ward off croup and colds, and with
older people I have known of cases where
the hearing had been seriously impaired by
chronic catarrh cured entirely by this new
remedy."
People who have used sprays, inhalers,
salves, and washes for catarrh and have found
how useless they are, will be agreeably sur
prised at the results following the use of a
pleasant internal remedy in tablet form.
Druggists everywhere admit that Stuart's
Tablets, which they sell at 50 cents per pack
age, is the safest, most effective and popular
of all catarrh remedies.
