guested, too, that Jerry Clunc will be
le-elected steward of the poor farm,

John Pnlko, tho boy who was run
over by a mine car In the Last Chi'inco
on Thursday evening, died nt Emer
gency hospital at 4.31) yesterday morn
Inc. Pnlko was fearfully Injured and was
almost In n dying condition when tuken
to the hospital. He was taking out a
car when another car got away from n
driver in another part df the mine. The
speeding car ran Pnlko down before he
could get out ot harm's way, the wheels
passing over the trunk In the region ot
the hips. The hip was dislocated and a
great hole was torn In his thigh. Ills
intestines were badly squeezed and
torn, and It was this Injury that caused
his death.

Pnlko, at No. 4, who will feel his loss
severely. He wns IS years old,
Stanley Miller, of Forest City, who

WAYMART QUARANTINE.
Raised from All but Three Houses
in the Village Board of Health,
Satisfied with Small-pox Situation,
Also Opens Schools Hull Getting
Better.
Tho board of health of the village of
Waymart, at Its meeting on Thursdny
evening last, after hearing its jdiysi
clan's leport with respect to the small
pox patient, Bert Hull, decided to raise
the quarantine from all but three of
the houses. These are the Cliff house,
wheie the patient is located, and the
two near ones, from which it would
not be prudent to remove all restric
tions at this time.
The board also decided to re-open the
schools, and this morning the scholars
will be at their tasks again for the
first time since it wus fully established
that It was small-pox with which Hull
was afflicted.
The action of the board of health In
raising the quarantine which affected
almost the entire village, and of re
opening tho school, is based on the fact
that it is eighteen days since Hull was
stricken. This is the maximum period
In which small-pox could spread or de
velop f torn another, and as there are no
Indications whatever of another out
break, and no danger is feared, it was
deemed safe to allow the residents the
freedom of communication they ordin
arily enjoy. The order of the quaran
tine's removal will be hailed with good
cheer by Waymart people w-ho havo
suffered somewhat from the irksome,
though necessary measures ot safety
that had to be religiously employed.
To tho immediate establishment of a
quarantine Is attributed the success In
confining the disease to a single pa
tient. The patient, Hull, who has had such
a hard time of it, his recovery being
feared for at one stage, Is getting bet
tor rapidly.
SOCIAL NOTES.
The Saturday Euchre club was enter
tained by Miss Alice Rashlelgh at her
home, on River street, Saturday after
noon. The occasion was one of much
enjoyment. Keen interest was mani
fested in the play at the different
tables, and when the anxiously awaited
result was announced' the victorious
one was warmly congratulated.
The chief prize was taken by Mrs.
George Mills, who displays a gold hat
pin as the trophy of the afternoon. Miss
Rashlelgh proved a delightfully enter
taining hostess.
The pleasures of a domino parly en
livened the assembly of Miss Carrie

hours and left for their homes In glee

EXIT STEVE OILBY.
Left Town Hurriedly' to Avoid a
Stay with Sheriff Sohadt.
While Htovo Qllby, the lengthy con
stable of the Mlxth ward, Hah a. friendly
feellnar for Sheriff Bchodt, he bus ho
hankering for the hospllnllty the sheriff
deals out at tho Jnll. This explains
why the Sixth ward sleuth has tnken
to the woods over Honosdulo way.
A week uro, ns related In The
TrlbUne, Steve went on the war-path,
limiting n lot of fuss nnd bother, say
ing cuss words and finally pulling u
revolver. Ho wns fined for being such
a hud boy and Alderman Delavan gave
him until the following Saturday to
settlo or go on a visit to Sheriff Behndt
for n couple ot weeks. Ah mentioned
before, Steve 1ms no use for such
forced hospitality, so he lit out.
Constable Emmet sought for Steve,
but, like the elusive ilea, when tho
constable hod him, lie didn't have him.
Steve wns henrd' from In South Canaan.
He stopped at Bob Alexander's for n
drink of 'buttermilk. Tho buttermilk
softened Steve's heurt so much that he
thought ot his Carbondale friends long
enough to leave a message for them.
He said to Inform us that he wus going
to Hawley. But somehow Steve lost
his trail or his Intention, for he took
to the road that leads to Cherry Ridge.
It Is not expected that ho will be gone
long, for he is of the kind who don't
care to wander from their own fireside.
THE McGOWANS REUNITED.
Harried in ScVnnton by Alderman
John Howe.
John or "Jack" McGownn, as he Is
familiarly known, nnd his wife, Mar
garet Barry, who have been separated
for three years, by reason of the latter
obtaining a divorce, wore reunited on
Saturday. They were married a sec
ond time, the marriage contract being
ratified by Alderman Howe in his of
fice In the Seventeenth ward, Serunton.
Mrs. McGownn was divorced from
her husband about eighteen months
ago. Cruelty was the ground upon
which tho separation was allowed.
Their first murrloge was sixteen years
ago. ft took place In this city. As Mr.
and Mrs. McGowan are Catholics, the
decree of divorce did not change the
status of their relations in the eyes of
the church. There was then no neces
sity for 11 remarriage by a Catholic
clergyman. It was necessary, however,
for the couple to have a civil contract,
such ns would be ratified by an alder
man or justice; hence the marriage
ceremony by Alderman Howe on Sat
urday. THE EGO FOB, APRIL.

where ho pastor, Rev. Dr. Whelun,
The question, What do you weigh ? S3 nn important
one, bccfiuso weight and health of tho body arc inti
mately related. A certain height calls for a weight in
ratio to that height, and any variation from that weight
is a defect because it indicates a condition departing
from tho normal stato of health. Tho scalcB are to the
body very much -what the barometer is to tho atmos
phcre. When thero is a falling barometer it forecasts
storm, and often disaster. ' When there is a falling off
in flesh, it shows nn unhealthy condition and may be
a forecast of serious disease. When a woman .has a
weak, run-down, played-out fooling, she very often finds
her cheeks growing hollow and her clothes hanging
loosely upon her. Under such conditions, in the case of
a woman tho first inquiry should be as to the condition
of the. womanly health. For tho general health of
women is so intimately connected with tho local wom
anly health that tho natural thought, when a woman is
losing flesh and failing in strength, is: Is there a
healthy condition of the womanly organism? Generally
it will be found that there is not, and many women
havo been equally surprised and pleased, after using
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for tho enre of wom
anly diseases, to find the general health perfectly re
stored. There is nothing safer for any woman who is
weak and run-down than to uso tho means of cure
whioh havo brought new health and strength to women
who were in liko condition.,
I am just as well now as I was when I came into the world"
writes Mrs. P. A. Graham, of 617 Race Street, New Orleans,
La. "I will put it nt that nyway for I cannot remember ever
seeing a well day since I became a woman (twenty-five years
ago), until sir months ago when I began the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription ' Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Pellets.' They are the best medicines on earth made
for women and their complaints, no matter what the disease
may be, even if called incurable by doctors. 1 was treated by
several country physicians, also had some of the best city phy
sicians to prescribe for me. They all said my case was incura
ble, being a chronic disease of long standing. I had been sick
for eight years with female weakness, nervousness and general
debility, until six months atro I commenced with Dr. R. V.
Pierce's medicine and it brought mo out to where I am now,
from ninety pounds to one hundred and thirty-five. If any suffering woman will write to Dr. Pierce he wilf
send her a fatherly letter and give her good advice, and if she will follow his instructions will find out in a
very short time that she has been mistaken by putting her trust in home doctors. Any lady may write to
me, enclosing stamps, and I will answer.'"'
That gain of forty-fivo pounds meant health to Mrs. Graham, and it proves the point that
the general health of women is so closely related to tho local womanly health that when won,
anly diseases arc cured by the uso of "Favorito Prescription" tho general health is established
also.
t The great difficulty in persuading women to inquire a9 to tjio condition of the delicate
female organism is that so many shrink from tho indelicate examinations, tho unpleasant ques
tionings and the obnoxious local treatments deemed necessary by so many local practitioners.
Mrs. Graham found a way to escapo from theso conditions; she wrote to Dr. Pierce, and she
advises suffering women generally to follow her example. ,
Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free.- All letters are held as strictly
private and the written confidences of women aro guarded by tho same strict professional
privacy observed by Dr. Pierce and his staff in personal consultations with weak and sick
women at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, 3sT. Y. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y. ' .
It is with pleasure, I recommend Dr. Pierce's medicine," writes Mrs. Nora H. Tipton, of Cropper (Crop
per Station), Shelby Co., Ky. "You remembar my case was one of female weakness and weak lungs. I
had no appetite and would often spit blood; was confined to my bed almost half of the time, and could
hardly staud on my feet at times tor the pains through my whole body and system. Mv husband had to pay
many large doctor bills for me, but since I have taken four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
four of ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and three vials of ' Pleasant Pellets,' we haven't paid any more doctor
bills. It has been seven months since I stopped using Dr. Pierce's medicines and I have been enjoying good
health ever since. I can never praise these medicines too highlv, for I have feceived so much benefit I
pray that many who suffer as I did will take Dr. Pierce's medicines. I am sure they will never fail to cure
when given a fair trial. Everybody tells me I look better than they ever saw me. I am sure I feel better
than I ever did before." N
It is not only that those who aro cured of womanly diseases by "Favorito Prescription"
are made well, but, as in Mrs. Tipton's case, they look well and feel well. Health has its natural
signs; the brightness of the eye, tho tint of the cheeks, tho plumpness of the form, tho lightness
of the step, tho cheerful disposition, all speak of health. You can't hide these signs of health in
a well woman any more than you can counterfeit them in a sick woman. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Proscription makes women perfectly well, in fact, in feeling and in appearance. "Favorito
Prescription " is a medicine specially adapted to the needs of women who suffer from diseases
peculiar to their sex. It establishes regularity, dries enfeebling drains,,heals inflammation and
ulceration and cures fctnale weakness. It is tho best tonic and nervine for weak, run-down,
nervous women, encouraging tho appetite, trauquilizing the nerves and inducing refreshing sleep.
" Favorito Prescription " makes weak women strong, sick women well. Accept no substi
tute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women.
