Richards, of Plym outh, hold the position of clerk of the courts of Luzerne county, Abrara Nes bitt, president of the Second National bank of Wiikesbarre and one of the wealthiest men in this section of the state, was his friend. Mr. Richards died March 17, 1803, leaving a large family and a widow, his second wife, a woman much younger than himself. This woman subsequently married an actor and later was divorced. After the second marriage she left Plymouth. Now, after the former clerk of the courts has laid in the grave for years, a strange thing has happened. Mr. Nos bitt is notified by Mr. Richards' widow that he Is indebted to her in the vast sum of $84,500 on a judgment note for that amount made out four days prior to the death of her husband and by him indorsed over to tho wife, Alice Richards. It is said that none was aware of its existence until a short time ago, when the former widow was carelessly turning over the old family bible, and the evid ence of Mr. Nesbitt's alleged indebted ness was found nestling quietly between leaves of tho sacred volume. The magnitude of the sum involved, as well as the note itself, when revealed to Mr. Nesbitt, took him by surprise. Ho was at first inclined to regard the thing as a joke, but when ho was served with a notice that a suit for the recovery of the money would follow unless he settled, he immediately called upon Con gressman llenry W. Palmer and U. A. Puller, whom he retained to defend him. Mr. Nesbitt not only declares that tho note in question was never made by him, but that ho never gave a judgment note in his life. He says the signature is an excellent imitation of his own. Mary Weds Her Choice. Mary Herman and James Kuchnik, of Plymouth, whoso trials and tribula tions were reported in Friday's Tribune, are to be married. Last week when she was to wed John Horubad sho ran away from her home and took refuge with Kuchnik, a former sweetheart.

Philadelphia Inquirer, Dec. 4, 1900. The scenery and costumes used In "The Power Behind the Throne" are beautiful, especially the garden of music teacher Winter in the first act and the palace of the Duchess in the ! third act. Mildred Holland as Aria, the young girl, portrays that character in her true emotional style, and the en cores wero justly given. The audience went wild over her. You will waste time if you try to cure indigestion or dyspepsia by starving yourself. That only makes it worse when you do eat heartily. You always need plenty of good food propeyly digested. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the result of years of scientific research for something that would digest not only some elements of food but every kind. And it is tho one remedy that will do it.

Carmel, Saturday night Daniel Kramer fell down a manway and was instantly killed and Adam Paulshusky was burned to death by a spark falling into a keg full of powder, which exploded as ho was bend ing over it.

For an International Shoot. A. 11. G. Gale, secretary of the Mid dlesex Gun club of Loudon, has pub lished a letter regarding an interna tional pigeon shoot. In which he says: "It appears that our friends on the other side are now anxious to try con elusions with the British, using the shotgun and first competing witli clay birds. After this they will be willing to shoot a series of international matches against the British live bird trap shots for any amount of prizes suggested." After referring to the terms of the challenge Mr. Gale adds as a comment: "The important question first to be determined Is tljgt of ways and means. The rules of the Middlesex club for clay bird shooting will not permit their taking the risk, even if they were finan cially strong enough to do so, but it struck me that It could soon he met by pooling $3,000 or forming a syndicate of sportsmen who would take one or more SOO shares. Mr. Irvine, the vice president of the Middlesex club, and myself can already place $1,500. It, therefore, only requires 70 shares of S3O bach to bo taken up." BREVITIES.
