anthracite coal mine pit.
—About the middle of December a
decree was sent out from insurance

composition roofs, are raised 28 per

for three years' insurance he will now
pay fl. 60 for the same thing. —Ex.

Readers of tbe Pittsburg Dis
patch Made Happy.
The New Year's number of The Pitts
burg Dispatch was a great treat to its
many readers. It consisted of 82 pages
(just think of it!), containing a complete
rosarne of events of 1902, accurate and
reliable. It was not only of interest to
hundreds of thousands of Dispatch
readers in the Pitttsbnrg territory, but
invalnable to all, no matter where, for
it was a ready reference to thousands of
paefnl and interesting items. Un
donbtedly it was the beat Bomber of its
kind ever published, and one which
could be issued only by one of the
greatest journals in tbe United States.
No wonder The Dispatch enjoys the
largest circulation of any Pittsbnrg
paper! It is tbe only 2c morning paper
published in that city and that partly
accounts for its wonderful popularity.
The people know it pays to bay the
beat, and it holds good with The Dis
patch. for very few think of the trifling
4 cents difference (the daily being only
10c bv the week).
Those who sre not now taking The
Dispatch should at once subscribe, as
they will not regret it. When you do
subscribe ask McVay & Pollock to send
and get you a copy of that great Re
view Edition. It alone is worth the
price of a six months' subscription.
Pittsburgers should be proud of their
great paper.

SUPREME COUKT DECISIONS.
The State Supreme Court, sitting in
Philadelphia, made a large number of
decisions, Monday, of which the follow
ing are of local interest:
Miller et al vs Mackey, decree revers
ed and bill dismissed at cost of appel
lees.
Shaffer et al vs borough of Harmony,
judgment affirmed.
Hilliard ec al vs Donnelly, appeal
from Superior Court refused
Burton vs Forest Oil Co., affirmed.
Appeal of Amberson, decree of lowr
court, affirmed.
The decision in the Miller et al ys
Mackey case means that Walker Ave.
will not be opened to Centre Ave.; that
in the Shaffer vs Harmony means that
the boro must pay Mrs. Shaffer the
amount awarded by a jury for injury
resulting from an accident on a side
walk.
Among the decisions made by the
State Supreme Court, Monday was one
in the case of the city of Pittsburg
against the Sterrett sub-district school,
in which it is held that a school district
cannot be held liable for a stieet im
provement. An apfeal was taken by j
the city from Common Pleas No. 3 of
Allegheny Co. and the judgment of this
court is affirmed. In part the court
says:
"An assessment pays for a public,
though local, improvement. It there
fore relieves the public from the ne
cessity of contributing to the cost or ex
pense of the improvement If public
property purchased by funds raised by
taxation is subjected to assessment for
a local public improvement it is the
public paying the public, which clearly
discloses the absurdity of the proposi
tion. The fact that the benefit of the
exemption would innie to the people of
only a portion of the territory which
produces the revenue from which the
property is purchased cannot affect the
right to exemption.
The Supreme Court at Philadelphia,
Monday, reversed the Allegheny County
Court in tie case of the City of Pitts
burg against the Pittsburg, Carnegie &
Western Railroad, otherwise known as
the Wabash. This means that the rail
road must now get the consent of
councils before it can continue the work
begun on its terminal in Pittsburg.
Justice Dean, in his decision, said the
entire question involved was embraced
in the right of a railroad company to
occupy and cross streets of a municipal
ity without consent of such municipali
ty. The company wished to so cross
and occupy streets without consent; just
what streets it requires is not necessary
to inquire.
The court was of the opinion that if
the act of 1868 forbids mere crossing of
a city without its consent, then, to that
extent, it is in conflict with the consti
tution, and the statue must give way.
At the adoption of the constitution no
legislature conferred such power on
railroads as claimed here. The act of
1849 and its supplements and the act of
1863 express the scope and limits of
their powers at the time of the adoption
of the constitution. That in?trument
would not enlarge these limits unless
intention to do so was clearly expressed
or plainly to be implied.

Monsters and Microbes.
How the Microbe Would Appear
If Magnified in Size to Cor
respond With Its Power.
The -world has always believed in
monsters—great dragon 9 of the land,
and huge serpents of the sea, As a
rule these monsters have been fairly
peaceable, and beyond frightening peo
ple occasionally, they have done little
recorded harm. The real calamities of
humanity have come fro A the smallest
forms of life. The minute microbe has
slain its millions upon millions. If this
microscopic form of life were depicted
in size and form equal to its danger and
deadliness we should see a monster
which would dwarf into insignificance
all the monsters ever begotten by hu
man imagination. The microbe has this
in common with the fabled monster, its
food is human flesh and its drink human
blood. It battens on slaughter. For
centuries medical science fought this
microbic foe in darkness. The presence
of the foe was recognized, its deadliness
conceded. But it was ever an invisible
foe, unknown and unnamed. To-day
science with eye-power increased a mil
lion fold finds this lurking foe, knows it
and names it.
FINDING THB FOE
Is the first step, fighting it intelligently
is the next. We know this minute or
ganism lurks in the air we breathe, the
food we eat, the water we drink. We
know the object of attack is the blood.
We know that as the microbe is bred
from foulness it must be fed on foulness.
Hence, we know that the microbe finds
no lodgment in the body when the blood
is pure. Keep the blood pure and you
shut out the microbe.
When the blood is impure nature at
once begins to show the red danger sig
nals. Boils, blotches, pimples, erup
tions begin to work upou the skin sur
face, as signs and symptoms of the cor
ruption of the blood. When these or
any signs of blood impurity appear, the
use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coverv is confidently recommended as a
most powerful and perfect blood-purify
ing medicine.
"I consider your 'Golden Medical
Discovery ' one of the best medicines on
the face of the earth," writes Wm. Floe
ter, Esq., of Redoak, Montgomery Co.,
lowa. "While in the south-west, three
years ago, I got poisoned with poison
ivy. The poison settled in my blood
and the horrors I suffered cannot be told
in words. I thought I would go crazy.
I could do nothing but scratch. I would
go to sleep scratching, would wake up in
the morning and find myself scratching.
T scratched for eight months. Had It
subscribe for the CITIZEN
not been for you* ' Golden Medical Dis
covery' I would be scratching yet. I
tried different kinds of medicine, tried
different doctors, but all the reliei they
could give me wai to make my pocket
book lighter. I then began taking
* Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Took four bottles without relief. Kept
taking it. I took in all ten bottles and
got entirely cured. I can say that if
people would take your medicine instead
of fooling with some of the quacks that
infest both the small and large towns,
disease would flee like chaff Before the
wind."
The use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery will absolutely drive out
and eliminate the poison* which cor
rupt the blood.
BAD BI.OOD AND GOOD HEALTH
cannot go together. But when the .
blood is purified and enriched by "Gold
en Medical Discovery," the result is re
corded in sound health.
Boils, blotches, pimples
and other eruptijms disap
pear as the impurities
which caused them are
removed. The skin is
healthy, the flesh is firm.
The dull and sluggish feel
ing is a thing of the past.
The appetite is good, sleep
is sound and refreshing
and labor an enjoyment
instead of a burden.
" It gives me much pleas
ure to testify to the merits
of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery," writes
Miss Annie Wells, of £er
gussons Wharf, Isle of
Wight Co., Va. "I can
say honestly and candidly
that it is the grandest
medicine ever compound
ed for purifying the blood.
I suffered terribly with
rheumatism, and pimples
on the skin and swelling
in my knees and feet so
that I could not walk. I
spent about twenty dollars
paying doctors' bills but
received no benefit. A
year or two ago I was reading one of
your Memorandum Books, and I d<*
- eided to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and ' Favorite Prescription,'
and am entirely cured."
Of all prevalent forms of blood dis
ease, scrofula is the most intractable.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has a remarkable record of cures of
scrofulous diseases; remarkable both is
the number of cures and their variety
as well as in the fact that these cures
were effected many times in cases where
all other treatment had proved utterly
ineffectual.
«I cured my little girl's scrofula with
your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and
' Pleasant Pellets,"' writes Mr. Eli Ash
ford of Raney, Hunt Co., Texas. - It
lias been four years since then, and
there has not been any return of the
disease."
There is no alcohol in " Golden Med
ical Discovery," and it Is entirely free
from opium, cocaine and all other nar
cotics.
Why does a dealer sometimes trr to
sell a substitute for Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, claiming it is "just
as good ? " Is it for the customer's ben
efit? It can't be. If the two medicines
are equal in merit there's no advantage
to the purchaser in an even exchange.
The medicines are not equal in merit,
and the reason for selling a substitute
is only because the less meritorious med
icine puts a little, more profit into the
dealer's pocket. His gam is the cus
tomer's loss.
