There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed TO be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounGed it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incura5le. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires corstitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarfh Cure,
manufactured by +. J.-Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. II is taken in
ternally in doses from ten drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

for any case it fails TO cure. Send for

POLITICAL PICkUPS.

States are being made for the Demo-
cratic county convention, which meets
on August 25. The NeCsie0ler proposes
this one: Congressman, John NJ. Car
man, Nanticoke; senator, DR.. f. w.
Rutter, Freeland; treasurer, George II.
.ShifTer, Mill Creek; register, John }.
Brisln, Sugar Notch; commissioners,
John Quincy, Wilkesbarre, and c. Ii.
McGraw, Beach Haven, or j. Sterling
Koons, Huntingdon. The Ledder thinks
the following would be good one:
Congressman, Judge ID. l.. Rhonc or
Colonel r. Bruce Ricketts,, Wilkesbarrc;
senator, Peter A. O'Boyle, Pittston;
treasurer, Rudolph c. IIitchler, Nanti
coke; register, Anthony Reilly, Halle
ion: commissioners, Thomas M. Dullard,
Wilkesbarre, and either John Quincy,
Patrick Finn, Frank Baab, j. r. Cool
bauger, Deemer Beidelman or j. Stcr-
ling Koons.
In our advertising column appears the
card of John j. Brislin, who announces
himself as candidate for register OF
wills and clerk of the orphans court.
Should the Democrats decide to recog-
nze the claims of Mr.. Brislin on August
% they will perform a service which the
party owes this aspirant. He has been
a candidate for county offices before,
but in the interest of harmony and for
the sake of unity has stepped aside
voluntarily whenever the party'y success
seemed endangered by contest. He
has been an earnest and hard worker in
the ranks for years, and is applying for
something which his three years eX-
pcrence as deputy proves him capable oil
fulfilling.
A meeting OF the Republican county
candidates was held on Monday and H..
p. Hocomb. of West Pittston, was elect
ed chairman of the county committee.
Mr.. Hocomb is at present chief clerk in
the Office of Prothonotary Llcwellyn.
Waiter B. Koons was elected secretary.
Fred Theis, of Wilkesbarre, was chosen
treasurer, and the vice chairmen are j.
B. Williams, of Wilkesbarre; William
Adams, of Halle township, and John
Mainwaring, of Plymouth.
Pennsylvania Democrats can breathe
easier now. William b. Singerly, of the
philadelphia Record, who is one of the
electors on the state ticket, gave notice
Yesterday that il elected he will vote in
the electoral college for Bryan and
Sewall We thought all along the
colonel was only joking when he talked
of boiling.
The Prohibitionists of the county will
meet in convention on Saturday al
Wilkesbarre, and place in nomination
candidates for congressman, senator
treasurer, register of wills and two com
missioners. Other matters OF import
ance will be transacted.

| Cured was tastcfully decorated, every
| portion of the frame work being hidden
from view either by potted plants or
| fragrant flowers, which arranged artis-
| tically, presented Il most beautiful effect.
On the trees surrounding the pavilion

| ed to seats by the ushers, Messrs. Stan
ley Oberrcnder, DR.. ii. w. Monroe and

mony, all were seated in the spacious
| auditorium awaiting the entrance of the

in the rear, Halle orchestra rendering
! in soft tones Lohrengrn's wedding

where in solemn tones the pastor pro
nounced the words binding the happy
couple for life. Halle orchestra in the
meantime, in low tones, rendered sweet
| strains of music.
