,., fsw -' . I J ft T11JU SUKAiNTOJV TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1902. V m t v u V The News of Catbondale. ..... - i (THE WILD DOINGS OP A BIG BLACK SNAKE .,' leaped on Miss Cronin, of Uppor Canaan Street, and Wound Its Wriggling Body Around Her Arm. Tho Endangered Woman Rescued by John Proctor, Who Made a - Timely Appearance on the Scene. Tho Snake Captured, and on Exhi ' bitlon as Proof of tho Thrilling Story. . if every suggestion of a snake story A'as not met with a shrug of the shoul ders and u deprecating laugh, that ox . press one's doubt and Incredulity more ' forcibly than a long-winded oration, It would not bo at all necessary to make the preface to this story, that tho thrilling tale that Is to follow can he verified by some ot Carbondale's most reputable citizens, whoso reputation for truth and veracity Is not only not ques tionable, but is well established. It seems almost weird to sneak of bluck snakes in the Carbondnlo of to day, but this story, which is all but i -solemnly afllrmed, is tho most thrill ing talc, perhaps, of wriggling serpents that has. ever been related und sub stantiated, in this section of the coun- trv. On Saturday evening, about G o'clock, ' -while Miss Katie Cronin was returning to her home from the village or settle ment at the end of tipper Canaan " street, she was spell-bound on seeing a , snake, a black snake, its head wrig gling through the fence enclosing the ' property owned by John Proctor and i located on Canaan street. Miss Cronin was transfixed with fear. In an Instant tho serpent was prepar ing to spring at her. Before her sense of self-preservation could manifest it . self, his black snakeshlp, which had coiled itself, its head two feet from the ground, leaped at her. The paralysis of fear that seized her made her as im movable and as rigid as a statue. The snake landed on her shoulder, nnd its wriggling body was coiling its folds about her upper body in almost a twinkling. Miss Cronin was on the verge of col lapse, when John Proctor, a neighbor, happened along from work. He scarce ly knew how to approach the danger surrounded woman to rescue her. Cautiously stealing up behind, he grabbed tho snake by tho tail and the head. It was a daring, but plucky chance that he took. He had but little hope of being successful, but his cour ngo and fearlessness were happily well rewarded. The snake was bound like wire around Miss Cronin's arm and shoulder. It required a fearful gilp and a strenuous effort (o cause the en raged reptile to relax its hold. Mr. Proctor finally succeeded, and with the snake firmly in his grasp he made for tho house. He has an incubator, by which he hatches hundreds of chickens k and ducks during the year. He had this In mind, together with the preservation of the' snake as u trophy, and with the assistance of his son, Harry Proctor, his snakeshlp was safely caged in the incubator, in the portion where he can be observed through the glass front. The snake Is a monster. It measures eight .fopt, four and one-quarter inches. It is still In Mr. Proctor's possession and can be seen at the Proctor home, where It seems to enjoy life in its nar row, though comfortable quarters. On Sunday, residents of the Fifth and 'Sixth wards visited the Proctor home by the core, until one of the facetious remarked, 'that there were as many prcscntSas' at the Wallace side show. The'AlVqotbV libnip is m the Fifth ward, .the.'last .house on Canaan street, within the city limits. The Incredulous and skeptic will be welcomed. Yesterday the snake consumed three gallons of water and ate a frog for his dinner,- :.' MORE MEASLES. The Epidemic Seems to Be Spreading ? Over tho City. The mild, epidemic, as It were, of measles, rwjiieh was spoken of In The Tribune gnMonday, is spreudlng. Sev eral cuse&havc been reported. Three new cases were reported at the Board of Health ofllco thl3 week. They are located In the Pott's homo on Jet- EITIIER WAY IHJUT3. A Cross Eire on Coffee Users. Tho breaking away from coffee Is an exceedingly serious problem to many people, especially when- headaches fol low leaving oft the drug, and dyspepsia and bowel trouble grows more and more t-erlous If the coffee la continued. So there you are between two fires. A comparatively fury way out was taken by a lady from Franklin, Pa., who Fays: "We had a curious experience with coffee. Husband had been, for many years, a suiferer from dyspepsia, with heart-burn, headaches and general nervous trouble. We tried a great many remedies but none of them did him nny lasting good. "Wo concluded there must be some thing about employment that thus af fected him. One day a man told him that probably 'coffee was the cause of his troublo and advised him to use Postum. The first time I made It I studied directions and made It good. Well that day was u day long to be remembered, ' Wo liked tho Postum but wo had a hundred headaches compressed Into me, You tee tho trouble was wo had Doth used coffee so long that our nerves were In a state of collapse with out tho usual stimulant. Until then I Jld not dream I was such a slave to toffee but we had to do something to quit, fco the next morning I used Pos tum with part coffeo and wo missed the headaches, then I used less cotfee every morning for about two weeks, and then postum alone for nearly a year now, &nd I Just wish you could see the change in my husband. He has belter icalth than he ever had before, never Us tho headache, can eat anything he ivants, doe's not have heart-burn or any v Itomach trouble, and he cannot be in duced to drink coffee under any clr lumstanceg. When anybody mentions dyspepsia n his presence ho tells them what lured him.' I was almost as bad as ho but am tow entirely well, nnd have gone up (rom 9S pounds to 108 pounds and (tin jo thankful for the blessing of good lealth. If my name will do any good, use it, tor we stand by Postum always." Mrs. V. A.

I had ho ambition to live felt er. hausted all the time and had very severe pains and backache at monthly period. Your 'Favorite Prescription was recommended so very highly that I decided to try what it would do for me, and soon found that it was just what I needed. In a few weeks I began to find my strength and ambition returning, and could take up the burdens of life with renewed vigor. In about six weeks I had no more headaches, backaches or pains of any kind, and I now feel much stronger and in better health Uaan I have been for a long time." Miss STELLA FEELY, Second Vice-President The Wanwatosa Club, No. 426 Grand Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. more headaches, backaches or pains of any kind." And for the permanence of the cure consider Miss Wilson's words : "Five bottles (of ' Favorite Prescription ' ) cured me completely. This was two years ago, and I have not had an ache or pain since." Of course it is quite true that all cures are not accomplished as quickly as in six weeks. It is hardly to be expected that in cases of long standing, where disease is chronic, a transformation to perfect health can be so soon accomplished. But that health can be restored even to the worst sufferers is proven by the fact that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures ninety-eight per cent, of all weak and sick women who give it a fair trial. Even the two people in each hundred who may not be perfectly cured are greatly benefited by it and enabled to have a larger part in life's duties and pleasures. What excuse can any sick woman offer for continuing in such a miserable condition when women who have been sick like her, testify to a perfect cure by the use of " Favorite Perscrip tion " ? The commonest reasons given for not trying this medicine are that physicians have pro nounced the case incurable, or that so many medicines have been tried in vain that all confidence in medicinal help is lost. For the encouragement of any who may doubt the possibility of their cure, let it be remembered that a large percentage of the cures of "Favorite Prescription " have been performed for those pronounced incurable and for others who had given up all hope of medicinal relief. " ' Favorite Prescription' gives women new health, and new life " is a frequent statement of the women it has cured. Will it give you new health and new life ? It will unless you are abso lutely incurable. What chance is, there of that? Just two chances in a hundred. In other words, there are ninety-eight chances in a hundred that "Favorite Prescription " will cure you as it has cured other weak and sick women. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals in flammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It cures headache, backache, sleepless ness, nervousness and other consequences of womanly ill-health. It is a purely vegetable prepar ation, containing no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine nor any other narcotic. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters are treated as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. If you are led to the purchase of " Favorite Prescription " because of its remarkable cures of other women, do not accept a substitute which has none of these cures to its credit.

' The home of Ilobert Sharpies, of give credit to your Favorite Prescription no doctors, nor have wc needed backache, headache and dragging doctors, but nothing helped mo Dottles cureu mc completely, Two speaM In the letters of two responsible and representative women here published there are three facts which deserve the consideration of every woman who suffers from diseases peculiar to the sex. First, that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription cures womanly ills. Second, its cures are lasting. Third, the general health is also greatly benefited by the use of " Favorite Prescription. These statements are supported by tens of thousands of weak and sick women who have been made well and' strong by the use of this wonderful medicine for the cure of womanly ills. It is a very sad thing when a young woman says as Miss Feely does "I had no ambition to live, felt exhausted all the time." Yet such feelings are the common result of pain such as she suffered. There are thousands of women suffering just as she did. They are broken down in health. Each recurring month brings anew its pain and suffering. Is it any wonder that the ambition to live passes away ? What woman wants to live in perpetual pain, her neryes disordered, her strength undermined, her face lined and darkened by her daily experience of suffering? But the experiences related in these letters prove that it is not necessary io live in such suffering. Headaches, back aches and dragging down pains, with, other forms of wom anly ills, are cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription. How promptly the cure is effected may be judged by Miss Feely 's statement. "In about six weeks I had no Mount Vernon, was almost completely destroyed by fire yesterday morning.
