THE TRUANT OFFICER
i TO PROSECUTE PARENTS
jChtldron Who Conio Within the
t Compulsory Education Law Must
; Attend School A Quiet Meeting.
, Tim school board met In special ses
sion last night, with all the members
present but Mr. SwlRcrt.
' The superintendent's report was re
rolvrd and ordered placed on llle. In
!jt was a complaint that the teachers
'are not rIvIhi? the attention to the
monthly teni'hers' meetings that they
should.
Mr. ami' sMtgijewlod that the board
iidopl a rule .imposing on the teachers
n penalty oC $1."0 for each meeting
missed, unless excused by the superin
tendent or In ease of sjeltncss. The
rule was adopted., , ,
' The superintendent also spoke or the
greater number oC days the teachers
have been absent this year over last.
The members, however, thought that
there had been much more sickness
this ycar-Jlliun liiHt, -tint! as.'thlH, ,iu n
large .desree,- 'accounts for the In
creased absence, no action was taken.
The secretary was Instructed to re
new several Insurance policies which
will shortly expire. Agent Smith pre
sented .some outline maps for the, con-,
iildoriitRin' of the board. The matter,
w'as referred to the books and supplies
committee.
Another matter which caused con
siderable discussion was regarding the
truancy of certain students, who come
under the compulsory education law.
Attorney If. ('. Mutler addressed the
hoard regarding this matter. He
stated that the secretary of the board,
the superintendent and the truant of
ficer, are each liable to a considerable
penalty for failure to carry out the
law. They had made complaints re
garding certain students, who had re
fused to comply with the law. Several
parents bad been proceeded against,
villi beneficial results, but the attor
ney did not wish to proceed farther
without more explicit directions from
the board. The prosecution must bo
made by the truant ofllcer, secretary
or superintendent.
The truant olllcer was by resolution
directed to proceed against the par
ents of the refractory children. After
the payment of a number of bills, the
board adjourned.
THE NEW FOUNDRY.
The Biggest Day's Run Wns Yes
terday, When Five Tons Were
Cast Some New Orders.
Yesterday was an important day nt
'the city's now industry, the Carbon
ilnle -Metal Working company. The
hlggest beat or cast wust run off. In
all, over five tons of Iron wore made
into a variety of iron products, parts
of machines, hot gas plates and mis
cellaneous gas llxtures. The com
pany Is going to make a specialty of
gas fixtures, such as irons, radiators,
heaters, etc., having. control of several
patents. The biggest single piece cast
since the foundry started was also
turned out yesterday.
Ry way of illustrating how varied
the products are that are sent out
from the foundry, It might be men
tioned that the smallest article cast
yesterday, one of the parts of a ma
chine, weighed less than an ounce,
while the heaviest was a single piece
of over two tons. It was a machine
for making lead pencil sharpeners, and
was made to 1111 tin order for a Xew
York concern. A highly successful
'fust was made of hot plates for gas
Stoves, ond which experiments were
made until the satisfactory result of
yesterday was happily achieved.
Yesterday an order was received for
parts of typewriters. It came from an
Kastern manufacturer and covers all
the cast-Iron work that might be on
the machine.
ruder General .Manager Johnson, the
.foundry Is making good progress and
i' gradually hicrea.siug in force. He
fore long it will be the factor In the
industrial world hereabouts that the
promoters aimed at when the company
was organized.
Mrs. Hockenberry Remembered.
Mrs. II. .T. Iloekenbeiry, who will
leave on March L'O to Join her husband,
who Is principal of schools In I.eCirand,
Oregon, 1ms been most kindly remem
bered by it number of lady friends, who
have presented her with a gold ring,
with an opal setting. It is a substan
tial offering, and Is sure to be cher
ished by Mrs. Hockenberry as an af
fectionate remembrance.

A NEW RACE TRACK.
To Bo Laid Out at Wnymnrt and to
Be Used for Fairs Enthusiasm In
the Project.
A project Is being considered among
the lovers of horse racing and other
sporls In this city to lay out a racing
track nit on nfoeptable site near Wny
mnrt for a speedway, together with nu
enclosure that could be satisfactorily
used for agricultural fairs nnd other
out-door sporls, which now have no
plneo In this city fiir their exercise.
Tho men named In connection with
the project are John J. Simpson, Frank
Hubbard', Levi Patterson and Thomas
McMullen. There are no more ardent
lovers of sports In this section than
these gentlemen, and It Would be safe
to hazard the guess that anything In
which they Interest themselves will bo
certain to be carried to a successful
termination. Viewed from nny stand
point, there Is no reason why such a
project, could not be successfully devel
oped, and why lovers of sports should
not become enthusiastic over Its possi
bilities, The procurement of a site
would be the chief thing: tho support
of the track and whatever else might
be established would bo' certain to fol
low. There Is reason in this assertion,
for Carbondale's horsemen are in tho
majority In the meets held hereabouts.
Nearly every prize that Honesdale puts
up at Its Wayne county fair Is curried
off by the cruel; horses of this city.
Then It has only to consider the success
of the races held from time to time at
Lee's park and the late .races on the Ice
at Crystal lake, to find more evidence
of the live interest there Is to be count
ed on In f'arboudale to warrant under
taking the enterprise.
The project, which Is being earnestly
discussed. Is sure tn grow In Inteiiest
and enthusiasm, as it deserves to, nnd
by early spring it will likely have de
veloped Into an established certainty.
TIMELY TOPICS.
The success of the Smlth-Sluger en
tertainment course this season demon
strated that Carbondnle will support a
course, of this character, provided the
entertainers have merit and the 'enter
tainments are managed with a view to
satisfying and pleasing the patrons.
Too often u narrow Spirit prevails in
such management and the only, or
chief, consideration Is in the neighbor
hood of the box office. In Justice to
both Mr. Smith and Mr. Singer, now
that the course Is over and there Is
little risk of being accused 'of patron
ising or, in plainer words, "Jollying"
them, It must be said that they dis
played a broad spirit and enterprise
that was not for revenue only. They
made some money on the venture, but
it was not n great deal of change that
was left. The course was an expensive
one, and as it was the llrst really am
bitious endeavor of its kind and there
were many things they were not
fainillar with, they deserve a good deal
of credit for their conduct of the en
terprise. Everybody Seemed pleased
anil pronounced the course a success,
as it whole.
Now that II bus been satisfactorily
demonstrated that Carbondale appreci
ates and will patronize a course enter
tainment, this enterprising pair, Mr.
Smith and Mr. Singer, have decided to
conduct another course. "What their
experience taught them this year will
put into practice next year. While It
is, perhaps, too early to predict the
success of next year's course, the as
surance Is given by Messrs. Smith and
Singer that there will be entertainers
of higher standing than this year's.
Now that the popular taste has been
discovered, the best that can. be pro
cured will be offered.
The Joint estimates committee of
councils deserves creditable mention
for the promptitude with which they
acted In providing for the repair of the
damages which was caused by the re
cent flood. The prompt action In this
case Is an exception and calls for a
generous bestowal of praise. It was an
Item that, perhaps, might have been
overlooked In the rush of matters, and
Its recognition was therefore quite
timely, City Engineer Kupp, at whoso
Instance tho provision was made,
claims a good share of credit.
The sum estimated to make the re
pairs is $1,200. This, however, repre
sents only the city's share of tho ex
pense entailed by the Hooding, and It
Is to be uppliod only to roadways and
gutters. It gives only a faint Idea of
the aggregate damage and loss by the
storm, as scores of properties suffered
damages that will have to be met by
mo owners themselves.
As stated In yesterday's Tribune, It
was the Intention to resurrect tho gen
eral sidewalk ordinance at Monday
night's meeting of common council, but
the fears that It might be killed caused
Mr. Whitfield to withdraw his motion.
It Is likely, therefore, that no action
will bo taken towards effecting Its
passage until after the councils reor
ganize. Then, It can be safely haz
arded, tho ordinance will he recalled
and tho effort to make It a law will bo
pressed with vigor. Whatever action
may bo taken In this respect is to lie
commended and encouraged, for tho
ordinance, It made effective, will bo an
Important bit of legislation. It can
even bo said Uiut, under present con
ditions, It Is an Imperative, necessity.
In ninny sections the streets, physi
cally, aro precisely the same as a halt
century ago. Perhaps this should, be
modified or (nullified, They are the
same, so far as sidewalks uru con
cerned, In more than one place, for n
radius or an eighth of a mile, there Is
not u stone of flagging laid, in winter
the roadway Is the best path, and In
spring, neither the road nor the path
that answers 'for a sidewalk Is more
than passable. This is certainly a re
flection on a city that Is over a half
century old.
In the new ordinance Is a remedy,
which wilt iiljso materially advance the
Interests ofthe city. Tho provisions of
the ordinance are not harsh, or dras
tic; on the contrary, they are most
reasonable; but If there urp any ob
Jectlonuble features, they can be read
ily eliminated before Its passage. The
trouble now Js, or appears to he, that
the mujorlty of council Is Indifferent to
the measure and for some reason would
squelch It

nt'e nettled

STORES OF THE STREET
A Young
Man Who Knew It All Is
Fooldd Flowers on Palms.
A well known Carbondnle resident,
who has lived here over half it century
and hns it, year of wisdom for every
year of li,s life, took a fall yesterday
out of it young mun who seemed to
know It , The Incident occurred In
front of Hie ulty hull,
"Suy.olU man, you can't tell me where
the city licusurer's ofllce Is, can you?"
blustered the new young mail.
"All rglit, It I can't," said the old
man Just as positively, while he shot
awny fifim the place, leavlng.the youth
the mom crest-fallen lad In Carbondnle.
A group of men were In front of the
city building yesterday discussing the
prospeiits of spring's early uppcarunce.
One nlntt told of having heard robins
slnglnfo on his lawn this week. "That's
nothing," said another. "I saw a llock
of them In the little bushes In the buck
of our garden the day before the big
storili."
lie? then went on to say and was will
ing to vager that the man who said we
would have another snow fall this sea
son was a well he didn't know what
he was talking about. An Instant later
when n wagon tilled with spreading
green palms came up the street, his
attention being directed to them he said
to one of the group:
i"I'U bet you anything you want' me
young fellow, that three weeks from
lAuv will see flowers bloomln' on those
plants."
He meant It, too, and he got kind of
Vore when two of the crowd spread all
over the sidewalks with hearty laughter.
A BIG, FAT GROUNDHOG. .
One of the Much-Discussed Species
of Weather Prophet a Greenfield
Man's Trophy.
The groundhog, the poor animal
which lias been roundly abused this
year, more than ever, for his failure as
a weather uvophet, was very much In
evidence on the streets of Carbondnle
yesterday.
The Mr. Groundhog that was here
was a dead one very much dead; Just
ns the most of humanity would like to
see him, at least this one winter sea
son. He was suspended from the end
of a pike, and the pike was swung
across the shoulder of one DnrrnnCc
Buckley Burdette, otherwise "Doric"
Hurdlck, humorist, philosopher, corre
spondent and trapper, of Greenfield.
Dorrance bagged old groundhog, not
with n. shotgun, but with a "skink"
trap, as the funny man In the show
would say.
"No," said Dotle, "I didn't shoot him;
but you might think so. 1 caught him
in my skunk trap. I had the trap set
nnd caualit two skunks, when along
comes the groundhog and chased the
skunks. He'd ought to have better
sense, but be didn't; and so here he Is."
Dorrftnce attracted a good deal of at
tention as lie. paraded along the streets,
the fat groundhog- swinging from the
pike. Such ' an opportunity' was too
good to let pass by the festive Joker,
and ns good-natured Dormice went
smiling, along, you could hear some
thing like this:,
"What you got, Doric? A young
bear?"
"Hello, Dorle, when; did you get the
mountain Hon'."'
"What're you doing with the musk
rat?"
"Where did you get his whiskers'.'"
nnd the like.
The animal had a line coat of fur,
such as is in demand by furriers for
caps. Dorrance tried to dispose of It in
town, but If unsuccessful, ho Intended
to trudge back to Greenfield with the
trophy of his skunk trap.

day's work is compensated for by sound sleep,
which " Knits up tho raveled slcovo of care."
lint when tiredness is only another namo for
weakness, sleep otten rclttses to bring itstom
fort, and the now day finds tho weary woman
Btill aching from tho labors of yesterday.
Natural weariness is cured naturally by
rest. Tho weariness which comes from wom
anly weakness ia cured nntuiallv by the uso
of Dr. Pierco's Favorite Prescription, which
makes weak women strong and sick women
well.
"At the time I began taking your medicines I
was very weak," writes Mrs. Hcttle Payne, of Inlet,
Vn. "I had a tired feeling all the time, could
scarcely walk across my room, pains in head anil
fitomach, aud very bad taste in mouth on getting up
in the morning, and also had uterine trouble. Pour
different physicians attended uic, but only gave me
temporary relief. I had almost given up in de
spair when one of your little pamphlets was handed
to me. I sat down nnd read it cnrcfully, ami then
wrote to you describing my ailment's. You replied,
ndvistng a course of treatment with Dr. Pierce's
medicines. I sent and got sir bottles each of ' Fa
vorite Prescription ' and ' Golden Medical Discov
ery.' I took each alternately, as advised. Before
I hail taken two doses of each I commenced feeling
better. My heart and stomach felt relieved of that
burdensome feeling. By the time I had finished
with the two bottles I felt young as n girl of six
teen. I took five bottles of ' Prescription ' and
three of 'Discovery,' and nearly two vials of tho
' Pleasant Pellets,' for constipation. In conclusion
will say I had taken three or four kind's of patent
medicine before trying your medicines, which'
made me feel worse instead of better. I think
your ' Favorite Prescription ' is the best medicine
on earth for women."
Mrs. Payne's cure is one of thousands
accomplished by tho use of Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription, and the statements con
tained in her letter have their counterpart in
tho statements of the thousands of other
women who have been cured by the samo
means. Sho was weak, had a tired feeling
all the time, suffered from uterine trouble,
etc. Sho was attended by four different
physicians and received only temporary re
lief. Took three kinds of patent medicine
and felt wor3c instead of bettor. Had
almost given up in despair when sho was led
to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
After using two bottles she felt "Young as
a girl of sixteen." No wonder Mrs. Payne
thinks that " Favorite Prescription " is "tho
best medicine on earth for women. Siio has
a right to think so; the right of a woman
who finding no help in other physicians or
medicines turned in despair to Dr. Pierco
and his "Favorite Proscription," and found
a quick and complete cure. There is no
guess -work about such commendations of
this great medicine for women. It is tho
praise of women who are cured ; weak
women, tired women, .suffering women, re
stored to pericci nciutii and youtntiii vigor,
by " favorite Prescription."
"When I commenced the use of your medicines I was quite run-down in strength;
was weak and tired most of the lime," writes Mrs. S. h. Tupper, of Sheboygan Falls,
Wis. " After taking six bottles of ' Favorite Prescription ' aiui six of Golden Medical
Discovery,' I felt like a different person, ami was able to do mv work without knowing
what it was to feel tired. My complexion was also greatly benefited."
There's a point in Mrs. Tupper's letter every woman will appreciate. Sick
ness which -undermines the strength, 2lays havoc with a woman's looks. A
run-down, tired woman has no roses in her cheeks. It is reasonable to suppose
that when "Favorite Prescription " restores the health it should also restore
the appearance of health. It does. It rounds out the hollows in tho cheeks,
restores lost flesh and makes the skin clear and wholesome.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is commended to women as a safe and
reliable preparation for the cure of womanly ills. It establishes regularity,
dries weakening drains, heals inflammation "and ulceration, and cures femalo
weakness. It is the best tonic and nervine for weak, run-down women, tran
quilizing the nerves, encouraging the appetite and inducing refreshing sleep.
