Susquehanna, Juno 24. During n
heavy electrical and rain storm, on
Monday afternoon, persons In the vic
inity of Deep Hollow, six miles from
Susquehanna, noticed a dark, spiral
shaped cloud approaching from the
south. It seemed to swing and sway
In the air like a. balloon, and In a few
moments It collapsed, and the air was
at once filled with catfish, frogs, toads,
llznrds und tadpoles.
The entire surface of the earth for a
considerable distance was covered with
the squirming, wriggling objects. Quite
a. number of roddlsh-hcnd frogs and
eyeless fish wore found among the muBS.
Cattle upon the hills wore pelted with
the gruesome objects, and ran bellow
ing to shelter, and teams In fields and
en the highway ran 'away. Springs und
small streams were filled with frogs
and Ash. In a short time thousands of
them had disappeared Into a nearby
mill pond, but farmers gathered bushels
of them, to use as a. fertilizer. Great
numbers of people, including a number
of Binghamton scientists, visited the
epot during the day, and cameras were
much in evidence. There was a fall of
catfish upon Forest City, some years
since, and a great temperance crusade
quickly followed.

CANT YOU?
Can't you sleep well? Cn't
you eat with appetite? Are
your nerves overwrought? Do
you feel languid and irritable?
These are very common symptoms
of womanly disease, and can only be
entirely cured when the disease
which causes them is cured per
fectly and permanently. There is
cure for womanly disease or its conse
quences in stimulants or narcotics. The
narcotic "nerve-medicine" only numbs the
nerves which cry for nourishment.' It is as cruel
and senseless to drug the hungry nerves as it is
to quiet the cries of a hungry child with laudanum
instead of feeding it. Stimulants do but give a
temporary excitement and a false strength.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a purelv vege
table preparation, containing no alcohol and being entirely free from
opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. It cures womanlv diseases
feeds the nerves, encourages the appetite and induces refreshing sleep.
n "lfci"ni SriiSJJJS Sjiptiou of inestimable value, "writes Miss Ellen Alma
rUr"; vauoe Street, Memphis, Tenn., "as a tonic for
knowing what the trouble is.
I
decoration It will surpass any theater In
America and compare inoro than favor
ably with the best decorative nrt of
Kurope, displayed in the famous theaters
of tho gicat Continental cities. The au
udltorlum will scat about 2,000 people.
The stage will be constructed expressly
for the presentation of peiroimances with
largo numbers of people. There will bo
dressing room accommodations for nearly
700 persons and elevators will be pro
vided to carry them from tho stage to
the dressing room floors, an Innovation
which will ollinlnato stalr-climblng. now
n great hardship where quick changes of
dress have to be made. Tho stage will
bo 100 feet wide and adequately deep,
and will be equipped with all tho latest
appliances and many novel ideas which
have never before been utilized.

tion, and cures female weakness,

The dealer who offers a substitute for "Favorite Pre

the sale of less meritorious medicines. His profit is your
loss ; therefore, accept no substitutes.
