All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy. The application of this
adage is becoming more apparent each
year in the increasing practice of
taking summer vacations. Once look
ed upon as a luxury enjoyed only by
the wealthy,vacations are now consid
ed a necessity for every one. The ex
actions of business, the faithful devo
tion to duty and the activity that
keeps this country to the fore makes
it almost imperative for a time of re
creation. When we work we work and
when we don't we don't. With the
same vigor that labor is accomplished
the time of rest is enjoyed.
Pleasure is an inij>ortant element in
our vitality and those who neglect it
miss the finest and best of life. To
enjoy one's self makes it a pleasure
to see others also have enjoyment.
To get away from the cares of the
daily life and to escape the routine of
existence brightens our pathways and
makes gladsome our lives.
For the vacation seeker there is an
infinite variety of plans. Those who
delight to camp out and fish can find
no better place than near this city
along the Susquehanna. The seashore
attracts many, whose idea of the real
pleasure of life is a dip in the briny
and the inhalation of the ozone from
the Atlantic. The quiet farm has its
lovers, the mountains,lakes and wood
land their devotees. The railroads
reach so many attractive spots and set
forth their beauties so glowingly that
it is rather hard to fix ujxm the real
ideal. As all are good and as a vaca
tion is conducive to sunshine and
longevity it behooves all to take ad
vantage of their opiiortunities and get
ready for their annual period of rest.

CHARGED
WITH FRAUD
The much advertised Miners' Tea
company whose representatives here a
week or ten days ago were so busily
employed is at present under a cloud
owing to its failure to open a store as
advertised, wherein it was agreed that
certain obligations were to be dis
charged that had been assumed in the
canvass of the town.
Representatives of the Miners' Tea
Company within a few weeks past
have also been operating in Suubury,
Milton and Bloomsburg and in each
place they have been roundly denounc
ed as swindlers, the columns of the
local papers being employed to expose
their methods.
Two representatives appeared in this
city on May 1!) and caused an adver
tisement to be inserted in the local
newspapers, stating in effect that on
May 27 the Miners' Tea Company
would open a store in the Laubacl;
building, No 321 Mill street, and that
at the opening all housekeepers would
be presented with a handsome picture
frame. At the same time, it appears,
the representatives began an active
canvass of the town. They offered a
package of baking powder for 50 cents.
As a premium they agreed to take a
photograph and have it enlarged or
transferred, producing a handsome
picture, something like a medallion
in form. They collected the fifty cents
or as much more as they could get and
directed the purchasers to call at the
tea store on the day of the opening
when they would receive the picture
along with an artistic frame, which
was to be free.
On May 27, Tuesday last, a goodly
number of people assembled in the
, vicinity of the Laubach building, but
j the Miners' Tea Company had not
I materialized. The card in the window
announcing the opening bore the addi
[ tional notice written with a lead pen
cil that the store would not open until
| Monday, June 2nd. In view of this,
although things began to look a little
i off color, people generally were will
ing to suspend opinion.
When yesterday arrived and no one
putin an appearance representing the
I Miners' Tea Company there were none
who doubted hut what our town had
j been victimized. Christian Laubach,
owner of the building in which the
opening was to occur, gave up all
I hope of seeiug the men again and
I placed cards in the windows advertis
ing the room for rent.
Several persons were interviewed
Monday who had purchased the bak
ing powder. They felt satisfied that
they were swindled but as the loss
was not heavy, although somewhat
chagrined, they did not take the mat
ter very much at heart. A few were
inclined to laugh over their experi
ence. No one seemed to lament the loss
of the money so much as the photo
graphs, several of which cannot be re
placed. Mrs. Charles Frain,East Front
street, delivered to the men a photo
graph of her three sisters in a group.
This enhanced the value of the baking
powder and she was charged 7.") cents.
Mrs. David Davis, Mrs. Frain's moth
er, who is visiting in Danville, was
also won over to the scheme and yes
terday returned to her home in Wyom
ing 50 cents out of pocket.
Mrs. Thomas McGovern showed a
representative of The American
a can of the baking powder. It is call
ed the "Possum" brand and the label
assures the suspicious housewife that
it contains "no terra alba or lime."ln
every instance, however, the lady
visited declared that in view of (lie
fraud involved she "wouldn't for a
moment think of using the stuff."
The can contains about a pint ami if
pure, is probably dear at 25 cents.
The slick "tea agents" it will be
remembered made good use of our
borough council, inducing that body
to grant the Miners' Tea Company a
special license of $l5O per annum for
canvassing. This answered the double
purpose of advertising the concern
and disarmed all suspicion that there
was anything crooked about the
agents.

Unexpected but Appreciated.
Professor Gomer Thomas yesterday
received a fine testimonial from the
Woman's Auxiliary of the Y. M. C.
A. When he returned from Blooms
burg during the afternoon he found
awaiting him at his residence on Ferry
street, a beautiful leather bottom
rocking chair. This he discovered to
be a gift from the ladies of the Aux
iliary presented as a token of their
obligation to him for the excellent
services he rendered as the musical
director in the religious cautata
"Queen Esther." Professor Thomas
is very grateful for the gift its will he
seen from the following card of
thanks.
"To the Ladies' Auxiliary—Allow
me to thank you from the bottom of
my heart for your kind and grateful
remembrance of my services in the
rendition of "Queen Esther." I con
sidered my humble efforts fully re
munerated, but this beautiful chair
which you have so kindly presented
me I shall ever cherish its a highly
prized memento. Again thanking
you I beg to assure you that when
I ever can be of any service to you in
the future I shall lie at your command.
Respectfully Yours,
GOMER THOMAS.

Beauty is born in the blood. Beauty
is more than 'skin deep," it is blood
deep. When the blood is tainted by
disease the flesh will feel it and the skin
will show it. Sallow or muddy complex
ions, pimples, blotches, and eruptions
are only the surface signs of impure
blood. Face washes, lotions, complex
ion powders, may palliate the evils but
they cannot cure the disease. The only
cure is to cleanse the blood of the poison
ous matter which is the cause of this out
break in the flesh and skin. Impure
blood can be absolutely purified by the
use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. Its effect on flesh and skin is
markid. Sores heal and disappear. The
skin becomes smooth, and regains its
natural color. The eyes brighten and
sparkle, the whole body is radiant with
the brightness and beauty. "Golden
Medical Discovery" contains no alcohol,
whiskey, or other intoxicant, and is
absolutely free from opium, oocain and
other narcotics. The use of Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets, assists the action of
the "Discovery," by cleansing the sys
tem of clogging matter.

LEAPED PROM
MOVING TRAIN
Jamos Wheelaud of Willianisport,
adjudged insane, while being brought
to the Hospital at this place Friday
night made a daring leap from the mov
ing train near Mausdale and escaped
to the mountain.
The demented man, whose insanity
is not of a violent type, was in charge
of Sheriff Milliter of Lycoming coun
ty. He was as tractable as could be
desired, seemed to appreciate the nec
essity of treatment and offered no re
sistance when tiiken from his home.
Out of deference to Wheelaml the
handcuffs were not placed upon his
wrists, although the Sheriff to be
ready for any emergency had them in
his pocket. At West Milton during a
half an hour's wait the man ate sev
eral oranges. When in the vicinity of
Mooresburg he remarked to the Sheriff :
"No necessity for watching me so
close; my heavens, if I wanted to get
away, I could have escaped at West
Milton."
Sheriff Milliter, however, was not
the man to allow an insane person to
throw him off his guard and he kept
himself 011 the alert. The train passed
Mooresburg and nothing happened.
It stopped at Mausdale. The insane
man was leaning back in his seat
fanning himself, apparently uncon
cerned. The train started up and had
nearly reached full speed when Wliee
laiid made a dash for the car door,
which was open. The Sheriff was after
him in an instant, but b-ing a heavy
mail was outdistanced by the insane
man who gained the platform and
jumped off,alighted upon his feet and
started for the mountain as fast as he
could leg it.
The Sheriff much excited rashly fol
lowed suit, falling as he struck the
ground, cutting his hand and one
limb 011 the sharp cinders.
The insane fugitive was soon out of
sight; so was the train and the sheriff
found himself solitary and alone. He
made his way over to the public road
where he found an opportunity to ride
into town.
He hunted up our Chief of police
to whom lie gave a description of the
insane man. Wheelaml is about
years of age and <"> feet high ; he is
dressed in a dark suit; wears a slouch
hat and has about a week's growth of
beard on his face.
James Wheelaud, the insane man
from Willianisport, who leaped from
a Reading train at Mausdale, Friday
evening and escaped from Sheriff
Milner, of Lycoming county, while
heing brought to the State Hospital,
was caught yesterday morning at
Montoursville. He walked into Woav
er's hotel, where he was recognized
and word was sent to Willianisport.
John Buhh, a turnkey, started at once
for Montoursville.
In the meanwhile Wheelaud had left
the hotel and recognized Hub!). He
made an attempt to get away and
there was a lively chase across a
ploughed field. Wheelaud led for a
time but soon became weakened and
was captured. Buhh put the handcuffs
011 hint aud took him to the Lvcoming
county prison. Wheelaml begged to
have his hands free and also plead not
to be taken into the prison.
.lust where the insane man spent the
time since his escape is not known.
He refused to tell, saying that it was
no one's business. It is thought that
he followed the route of the new tele
phone line, on which he was employed
as a lineman when the line was built.
He evidently had gone a long time
without food. He said that he was
on the way to the home of his uncle
in Loyalsoek. He was brought to the
State Hospital last evening.

In the houses, the streets and the
gardens, the places of public resort,
I everywhere in Japan, is to be found
the all pervading element of art and
beauty. A rainy day in Japan is not as
In London a day of gloom and horror,
but a day of absolute fascination
What a joy is the spectacle of all th se
lovely yellow paper umbrellas unfurl
lug themselves beneath a shower like
flowers before the sun! The Japanese
have given the nation not only the
house beautiful, but the street beauti-

Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, achesand rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, k.dr.ey
' poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have the-.r begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits

es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail Homo >,t Sw*mp-n.».«
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

1 think that every man that has a
team of horses or any stock, ought to
haveabottle of Mover's White Liniment
in the stable or his honse. I had a
horse that stepped in a hole with his
front foot, coming down the mountain
with a trail of props, and fell forward
and strained his shoulder blade, riiat
it swelled so fast that we could hardly
get the collar off. and in two hours his
neck was swollen to all the skin would
hold. We used your White Liniment
freely.and in a few days he was to work
again, and do*'s not show any signs of
lameness. It worked Iil»*• magic
