Catarrh Cannot Bo Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It. was prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country for
years, and is a regular prescription. It
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood puriHers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in
gredients is what produces such wonder
ful results in curing catarrh. Send for
testimonials, free.

Councilmeu in SeHlun.
An adjourned mooting of the borough
council was held on Monday evening
with all members present except Messrs.
Smith and Keck. An opinion from th
solicitor in reference to the publication
of the financial statement, which coun
cil had decided to publish in but two
papers, stated that the law made no
provision for a foreign paper. Ilefore
proceeding .to open the bids it was de
cided to return the letter of the Slavon
ian Truth. A motion prevailed, with
the bidders' consent, that if the two
lowest bids should vary in price the
dilTerence would be averaged.
The bids were then opened and found
to read as follows: TRIBUNK, #62.80;
Prog re as, $60.15; Press. $62.25. The
work was awarded the Press and Prog
/•mat $61.20 each.
The auditors were instructed to add
the date of maturity of the several ob
ligations of the borough for publication
in the statement.
It was decided that the rate of wages
of all officers and employes remain the
same as last year.
A letter from Solicitor Stroll, re
gretting his inability to act on matters
referred to him and stating that he
would attend to the same in time for
the regular meeting, was accepted.
Jacob Wolf asked on behalf of citizens
of the Fourth ward the privilege of
organizing a fire company. The matter
was referred to the fire and water com
mittee.
Wan There a Square Deal?
Citizens and newspapers in the upper
end of the county are exercised over a
scandal connected with the award of
the new courthouse to a Pittsburg ar
chitect. It is alleged that there was
undue influence In the matter, and fur
ther developments are anticipated from
the testimony of one of the county com
missioners, Mr. Guiney, who was not in
accord with his two confreres in dispos
ing of the half million dollar contract.
To guard against any likelihood of an
unfortunate complication of this kind,
and in the hope that business methods
might exclude political influences, an
advisory board of seven members of tfie
bar was originally named to confer with
the county commissioners over the
courthouse plans. In making the
award, however, the advisory board was
overlooked by two of the throe commis
sioners, and to make matters worse the
board of commissioners was divided, the
two members—so much in evidence—be
ing at variance with the other member.
Aged I.ail.v Die* of Heart Failure.
Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Haas, relict of
the late Fred Haas, died on Tuesday at
the residence of her son, John 11., in
Hazleton, after an Illness of two weeks
tlue to heart failure. Mrs. Haas was
born in Harring, Germany, March 5,
1826, and emigrated to this country in
1850. Tim family resided in New York,
Tam&qua and Hazleton. Afterward
they occupied a farm in Beaver Valley,
and later moved to Freeland, where they
built the Cottage hotel and embarked in
the hotel business. Three years ago
this month her husband died, since |
which time she has resided with her son.
She is survived by three sorts, John j
11., Hazleton, and Henry and Tony, of j
Freeland, and ona sister, Mrs. John ;
Volkenand, of South Heberton.
A liking Central to Cuius Here.
A petition asking the Central Rail
road of New .Jersey to extend its tracks |
from Upper Lehigh to town is being
liberally signed by the business people.
The point to which the petition asks for
an extension is in the Third ward, where
live acres of land have been offered free
as a location for the Salmon-Cross Com
pany's iron works. Half a mile of track-
Is all that would be necessary to build.
It is believed that the petition will be
favorably considered by the railroad
company when it is presented.
Protracted Litigation Ended.
After sovcral years' litigation, the
Pottsville Water Company on Tuesday
paid $45,000, with interest, the amount
of damages awarded the heirs of Dr.
Shannon, of Schuylkill Haven, for the
for the use by the corporation of Indian
run, near Minersville, for a reservoir.
A decision was rendered by the local
courts in favor of the Shannon heirs,
and was carried to the supreme court
by the water company, but they also
lost in the tribunal.
•Suicide of a Lumber Dealer.
Townsend W. Boone, a member of the
Lehigh Lumber Company, committed
suicide on Monday at his home in
Hazleton by sending a thirty-two calibre
bullet through his brain. Some weeks
ago W. V. Larkins, the president of the
company, died, and it was found that
the company was insolvent and Mr.
Boone lost all his money. Brooding
over these financial difficulties was the
cause of the deed.

MEN HAVE GRIEVANCES.
Meeting of United Mine Worker* to lie
Held to Settle Dißit-ultles.
Trouble is again brewing at the col
lieries of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
Coal Company and at the Silver Hrook
colliery on the South Side. Yesterday's
Plain Speaker says that at Silver Hrook
the company was asked to reduce the
rent aud also the price on coal, which
the men claim is the highest in tho
region. Every fuuvily occupying a
company house Is obliged to pay $2.75
per month for coal whether any coal is
:sed or not.
The men believe that, they are being
unjustly treated by the company and
he officials in charge were recently
asked to make a reduction in order to
equalize the retit and coal charges.
No answer has been received, hut the
men expect to receive a reply by tho
24th Inst, on which date a general meet
ing of the United Mine Workers will he
held to consider the matter. It is hoped
that the company will grunt the request.
The difficulty at the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre ollleries is the alleged dis
crimination exercised by the officials
against some of the men. It is said that
the company is gradually discharging
tho old hands and replacing them with
new ones, which is considered unjust, as
It Is alleged no valid reasons exist for
the discharge of the experienced hands.
A mooting of Local 166, of the United
Mine Workers, has boon called for Thurs
day evening when this and other griev
ances will bo considered. It Is alto
gether likely that a committee will he
appointed at this meeting to confer with
tho officials with a view of effecting a
satisfactory settlement.

unexpectedly and the sad news caused
genuine sorrow among the many people
of the community who enjoyed her

pation exists. Indigestion and dyspep
sia are all followers of constipation
and that, of course, is the ruin of a
clear complexion, bright eyes, etc.
In the Spring of every year the blood
is sluggish and the liver torpid, show
ing that the system is in need of a
general houseeleauitig. It is quite an
undeniable fact that in Winter we par
take of the richest foods, pies, pastries,
etc. This is all right enough for cold
weather because thru we need a good
fuel to keep us warm and protect the
nerve centers, but for Spring a new
course is advisable. Stewed or fresh
fruit, eggs, broiled or boiled tisb should
be substituted for the heavy dishes,
with the addition of plenty of lettuce,
watercresses, etc. Hot biscuits, cakes,
oatmeal, buckwheat, etc.". should be
dispeused with, if not altogether, then
at least for a considerable time. Chops,
steaks, lamb. beef, chickens should be
put in the place of pork, ham, corned
beef, beans and salted tisli.
Dandelion greens should be eaten
heartily because they are excellent for
the general health and complexion
Candies and all rich cakes are strictly
forbidden. It is said that buttermilk
taken with regularity three times a day
is very beneficial, aud as a wash for
the skin it has no equal. Regular ex
ercise in t he open air is also necessary,
but (are must be taken that the matter
is not overdone. Sponge hatha should
be taken daily In Spring and it is well
to add a little sensall in the water, as
it invigorates and refreshes the sys
tem. which is more easily fatigued at
this season of the year than at any
other. Mild aperients are also hcucli
eial to the skin. For a sallow and
dull-looking complexion a toaspooufu)
of phosphate of soda dissolved in a
glass of vichy water and taken three
times a clay will lie found very good.
A very old-fashioned recipe for a
Spring medicine is sulphur, cream of
tartar and molasses, it is the meanest
tiling to swallow, hut everybody, es
pecially grandmothers will preach elo
quent sermons 011 the efficacy of this
mixture, which any druggist will pre
pare in proper proportion as to iugreili
cuts, A tahlespoonful should be takeu
before breakfast every alternate three
days—that is. take the medicine three
days and ytop three days, and so on
