Meas

Passes Finally.
The Hobbs ordinance providing for a
number of surface sewers throughout
the city, as detailed in yesterday's Tri
bune, was passed finally last night at
an adjourned meeting of select council.
This is the measure which was band
ied with expedition In order to give
means of employment to tbc large num
ber of idle miners in Carbondale.

the exception of Mr. Humphrey. Pur
suant to a motion' made in answer to a
suggestion of Mr. Humphrey at Mon
day night's meeting, City Engineer
Kupp presented an estimate of the ex
pense of the proliospd Improvements.
The schedule showed the engineer's es

usually higher than the contractor's
bids.

to its final reading. Dr. Fletcher, who
was absent Monday night, when tho or

members to excuse him from voting.
This was allowed by a vote of the coun

The ordinance will now go to Mayor

SECRETLY AND QUIETLY.
Coffee Slowly and Steadily Poisons
Some Persons.
Theie Is no doubt that coffee secretly
and quietly causes an immense amount
of misery to the human race, but In the
majority of cases the person docs not
feuspect tho cause of tho trouble.
A Virginia lady had an Interesting cx
' perimont with coffee poison. She says,
"For about live yearn X was troubled
with indigestion, weak stomach and
palpitation of the heart so bad that at
times I would fall and have to be car
ried Into the house. Finally 1 began
to have .spasms and suffered untold
misery. 1 tried all kinds of patent med
icines and different doctors, only to get
temporary relief,
I finally gave up all hope of getting
well. My stomach was in such condi
tion that everything but stale bread
would throw me Into spasms. I nearly
btarved myself but never suspected that
coffee was the cause of alt tho trouble,
nor did I have any Idea what the
cause was.
"One day Father told me ho had been
reading how I'ostum Food Coffee
helped so many people who were sick
Irani coffee drmktltg- and ho urged me
toJJeuvc off coffee and try Postum, I
Bald, 'Oh Father, I cannot try It and do
nop believe It would do mo any good,'
bnVhe persuaded mo to try a package,
jSTlic first, .making tasted so flat that
itwado mo halt sick,, but I determined
tftjglve it a fair trial,' su'l road "the di
rections carefully and found that It
must bo boiled at leust fifteen minutes,
Wfjl I boiled It L3 mlnutCH, then added
nomo goood cream and I toll you It was
dcllclou. I like It hotter than the or
dinary coffee, and, of course, stick to It,
.VWoll I have boon using t slnco tho

and will guarantee a cure where the

AMONG BASE BALLISTS.
Shop Hands Out with Challenge
Other Interesting News for the
Cranks.
The employes of tho Main street shop
of the Delaware and Hudson arc under
tho Impression that they have as good
a club as any of the other shops In the
city; at least they tire willing to try
conclusions with any of the others. Ac
cordingly, they challenge tho Carbon
dale Machine company, Hendricks,
Bobbin works and the ofllcc hoys to a
game on Sandy's Held on Saturday af
ternoon next, commencing at 1 o'clock.
An early answer Is hoped for,
Tho Belmont Crackerjacks, who have
won a few or more games, yes, all they
huc played this season, will play tho
Juveniles, on Sandy's Hold, on Thurs
day nflcruon at 3 o'clock. The Cruekcr
jaeks will also play tho Unlondalo
Stars on the t'nlondale' grounds, some
day next week. Another cinch, these
Susquehanna county lads, so say the
Crackerjacks.
The feat of tho Curbstone Striplings
piling up l!2 runs in one Inning In the
game with the Swlftwlnds Is tho chief
topic of conversation among tho cranks
of the town.
The aggregation which did this trick
Is made up as follows; Edward Will
iam Golden, c; John William Peel, p.;
Michael William McCinrry, s.s.: Itod
erlck AV. C.lllls, b.; John AV. Loftus,
2b.; Clarence W. MoIInlc, 3b.: James
W. Hadglns, 1. f.; Francis W. Burke,
c f.; Bert W. Collins, r. f.; Arthur' W.
Thomas, another catcher.
The Striplings are viciously contem
plating issuing a dell to the team they
play once in awhile over In Houcsdale.
"Just our size," say the Striplings.
The Carbondale Metal Workers seem
to have forgotten that they owe a game
to the Van Bergen team. The latter
were victorious lu the first contest;
now the latter wants to redeem itself,
but no heed has been given to the re
quest for a return game, which has al
ready appeared three times. Awaken,
ye men of tho swiiuwl
The Crescents and the Cnrbondales,
plain Carbondale, will battle again in a
few days. This time it will be the real
thing, for certain, as a purse of $50 is
the incentive, and the Crescents will
not be shy three of its regular players,
as in the last game.
It has been suggested and well, too,
that In the Interest of the sport in Car
bondale that these two teams be con
solidated, thus giving the town one
superior team that will bo able to whip
any club that dare show itself in Car
bondale or within a radius of fifty
miles. Two teams, with jarred feel
ings on either or both sides, will not
prosper in Carbondale. Tho sooner this
is appreciated, tho better for the sport,
which no? lias the strongest bold that
it has had In years.
ON A DOG CHASE.
Experience of Constable Neary to
Recover Valuable Bull Terrier.
Dear Joke for Two Scrantonians.
Constable Edward Nenry has been
led on many a dog chase, both figura
tive and real; but the most Interesting
of bis career was the one of Monday
last, when he rambled around the
horizon to locate a valuable bull terrier
stolen from Carbondale, the chase end
ing nt Brown Hollow, where the terrier
was recovered and tho two sports from
down Scranton way were made to pay
dearly for their joke.
Garfield AVilllams, assistant manager
of Hotel American. Is tho envied owner
of one of the finest bull terriers in this
section. It is a sagacious animal and
Is the admiration of every one who lias
'had tho opportunity to observe Its in
teresting ways and physical make-up,
even though he bo not versed In dog
ology. While admiration for the dog
runs so high among those who are shy
of the knowledge of the fine points ot
h uuu icrricr ami who couia never
qualify as Judges at a dog show, this
admiration is not a circumstance to the
enthusiasm of dog fanciers, after they
have observed Mr. AVilllams' terrier.
The truth is, Mr. AVilllams could have
disposed of his prized terrier long ago,
at a tempting price, if ho cared to; but
if tho dog is worth so much to another,
Mr, AVilllams figures, it is worth a good
deal more to him, not considering the
animal's friendship for his master.
To return to tho story of Monday.
About noon of that day two sports,
from down Scranton way, came to the
hotel and feeling satisfied that the (Jog,
whom they doted on securing, could not
be purchased from Mr. AVilllams, they
decided on kidnapping, as It were, tho
pride and pet of the American. They
suceeded In secreting tho dog In their
buggy, and started away with their
prize. This was the cue for the en
trance Into tho serio-comic piece of
Constable Kdwnrd Neary. who acted
the heavy part,
Th pair of dog smugglers drove down
tho valley,' At Jcrmyu they miido a de
tour and wero over lu Brown Hollow
before the constable, w reached
Archbald, was nwaro of tho flank
movement. Ho made for Brown Hol
low on as lively a run as ho over made,
and overtook- tho sports. They denied
having tho dog, but when tho con
stable, fertile in expedients, shouted:
"Come, Marly! Come Marty!" thero
was u noisy response from under tho
carriage seat, In an Instant, a big
brown and white head poked Its way
out. its wriggling body followed, and
lu another Instant ".Marty" was fairly
running up and down the cmistablo
with joy, No Carbondale muii could
lose the glad terrier,
Tho climax came when Constable
Neary, after tho dog ceased his rap
tures, Informed tho dog .smugglers that
they wore under arrest, Tho pair
begged off, claiming It was only a joke,
"Pretty dear joke, gentlemen," said
the earnest constable, as ho took out
his pencil and figured tho cost of tho
trip carriage hire, mileage, warrants,
etn,
"Just ten dollars and seven cents,"
concluded tho constable, vien ho hud
added up the rows of figures.
"Cap wo settle, now?" murmured one
of tho pair, as hu looked significantly
at IiIb companions, both of them at tho
same time reaching for their wallets.
it might have been, more than tho con
stable could do, under the clrcum-
stances, to bring the pair back to Car-1
bondate, bo tv settlement was made for
ton dollars, each mnn contributing a
V-spol.
This was the serious part of tho hap
pening. The coinlii part took plnco on
tho way home, When "Marty" got away
from Constable Neary und came under
tho wire first. He playfully capered Into
the American holiso hi the afternoon,
and that evening ho was as playful hb
ever with the guests, and ran to and
fro with tho 'bus as usual.
