BASE BALL TEAMS RETURN.
They Will BE Given a Benefit Game
ON Junc 1.

There Is still a base ball team repre-
senting this city despite the many ru
mors which have been in the air for the
last few days, and in spite of all that
has been done and said by the other
teams In the league and the newspapers
OF other places. The fine games which
Carbondale has been playing have made
the other teams green with envy and
they are only too glad to be able to say
anything against us.
Among other things it was reported
that McQuaid has been sold to Scran-
ton, but this proved to be false. the
arrangements could not agree upon the
terms or he would undoubtedly be now
wearing a Scranton uniform.
The crisis in our base ball affairs
seems to be nearly over, though things
are not yet as bright as we would wish
to see them. 1t seems that the expenses
Of the team could be cut down In some
manner, as will probably be done.
The club on their return home will
be given a rousing benefit and 1t Is ex-
pected that this will bring in enough
money to tide over the affairs. II we
carry base ball team through this sea-
: son We will hereafter be assured

ing Is also kept up 1t means that we will
have the pennant at the end of the sea-
son also.
The directors OF the base ball associa-
ton have prepared circular which Is
being sent out among the public. In

the receiver is asked to pay such
price for the ticket as he feels able to
give. These tickets will be used instead

Now is the time for the public to show
whether they appreciate the efforts OF
the association to have a team repre-
senting this city. H eretofore the ex-
penses have been upon the shoulders
Of q few, individuals who have sunk
quite sum of money in the game. Let
the public open their purses and We
are assured of winning team at the

JOHN SHERMAN A MULE.
His Owa Account Of a MemOrabl,
Ride in the Yosemite.

From Recollections of Forty Years.
We returned to the stage station and
again mounted our horses and mules
for the perilous adventure of a descent
into the Yosemite valley. 1t SO hap
pened that Mr.. Bell. the keeper OF the
station. was former resident of Bell
vile, In Richland county, Ohio. in which
l live. He knew me well. and his wife
| knew as the daughter of leading
farmer of that county. thought /
might utilize this acquaintance by ask
ing him to see that was we'll mounted
to descend to the valley. Much to my
surprise spirited horse, we'll ac-
coutered. was brought out for Col
onel Scott. and a shaggy short
legged mule. with a California
saddle and common but stout
bride. was brought out for me. l felt
that Bell had disregarded the Obliga-
tlon or "auld acquaintance" but said
nothing.
My mount started at the heels of the
caValcade in a steady walk, but | no.
ticed he was sure-foOted, and that, at
the end OF two or three weary hours, he
had passed most of the party and soon
after was close in the wake of Col.
Scott. In the meantime, l had noticed
that l was the subject Of merriment.
My feet We're in close proximity to the
ground. Ihe length OF my legs was out
Of proportion to that Of the legs of the
mule. When he came to descend the
mountain. however, at an angle of near
ly forty-five degrees, on a very narrow
path, found that my mule could turn
the bends of the track, and, by a ne
culiar gathering of his feet, could slide
down difficult places, while Col. Scott,
on his already jaded horse. was trou-
bled and worried. He dismounted when
the path widened and asked me to 20
ahead. He then followed me, leading
his horse. After that. / made up my
mind that my Richland county friend
had not failed me in my hour Of need.
AS for he scenery through which we
were passing, no language can describe
1t. We saw. 1000 feet below. beauti-
full little valley about half mile wide
at the widest part. with what appeared
to be Il very small stream dancing along
from side to side of the valley, and sur
rounded by PERCEPTIONS mountains in
every direction. The eye and mind can
now vividly recall the picture of the
scenes then around me. My mule had
my confidence. but feared lest some
fatal mishap might befall some of my
companions.

Anew Preparation. Pleasant. Harmless. Sim
pie, Prepared Solely Tor Weak Digestion.

A new remedy for dyspepsia and in
digestion. very highly recommended by
DIR. Harland and DR.. Jennison and
other prominent physicians, Is COM
bination in tablet form OF vegetable and
fruit essences. pure aseptic pepsin and
Golden Seal. One of these tablets
should be dissolved in the mouth after
each meal and according to Dr. Jenni-
son the effect seems to be that the food
is perfectly and promptly digested. be-
fore 1t has time to sour and ferment,
which causes all the mischief.
So popular have these tablets become
with people who have any form or in
digestion that they are now sold by
druggists everywhere under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are not secret patent medl-
cine, but as related above, contain
vegetable and fruit essence, pepsin and
Golden Seal in a form absolutely safe
and pleasant to take.
A few of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
should be carried in the pocket and
taken after meals and whenever there
is any pain or discomfort in the stom-
ach. They cure sour stomach, heart
burn, bloating. gas, palpitation and all
symptoms arising from disOrdered d.
gestion. Will cure any stomach trouble
except cancer of stomach. All drug
gists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
so cents for full sized package. or sent

TO THE COUNTY JAIL.
The Dundaf street Burglars Will
Spend Term Behind the Bars.

The burglars who entered the hotel
Of Gabriel Puglano on Dundaff street
Sunday night, wer given hearing be-
fore Alderman Jones which resulted in
that worthy pair being escorted to
Scranton yesterday by Chief Nc An
drew. Neither men could furnish the
bail for their appearance.
Both men were badly scared. Cooper
was unable to tell a straight story and
constantly contradicted himself. Gel
lott denied having anything TO do with
the robbery and quite won over some %.
the audience by his story. Upon Cooper
being heard again this sympathy was
soon gone He said some time ago Gel
lotte had come to him with a revcl
yer which he said he wanted to sell
and asked Cooper to keep 1t for him.
This was the revolver taken from the
bar room. Cooper said he had fre &.
quently seen Cellotte take r@ney from
the register and put II In his pocket.
BY the time the hearing was over II
was clearly shown that both parties
were guilty, Cellote being the instiga-
tor In the last attempt. 1t was also
shown that Cellatte had been sys;e-
matically robbirg his employer for the
last year and had made off with quite
large sum of money during the tins.

WHY WE CULTIVATE.

l, ny doing SO we destroy all
foreign growth.
2, We insure . fair access VI air
to the roots of our plants.
5, BY admitting air to our soil
we hasten the chemical action,
thus unlocking plant food in the
soil.
4, We promote the growth and
activity Of certain ferments in our
soil that, in their turn, sid in the
collection and releasing OF nitro
gen.
5, Finally we conserve moisture
and enable our plants the better to
Withstand drouth.
From the above it Is but just
conclusion that ip order 70 obtain
the best results our cultivation
should be frequent, but should be
confined to the stirring Ut only the
first two or three inches Of our soil.
During dry weather this operation
should be freqent in order to avoid
the establishment Of continuity OF
capillary tubes with the surface.
We should cultivate the whole SUR
face. We should cultivate the
whole surface Of our soil IN order to
facilitate the absorption Of moisture
and to facilitate its retention

PROGRESS OF THE
SCHOOLS.

State Superintendent Lsfargue is
now preparing his biennial report to
tue legislature. in which the statis-
tics will show very marked and
rapid Improvement in the public
schools during the past few years.
Although figures are not usually
entertaining or interesting. the edu.
cational statistics of this State are
SO conclusive in showing our present
favorable condition under demo-
cratic administration, that the Ad-
yocate has ventured to secure the
following from Mr.. Lafargae's re-
port for publication.
The poll tax collected in 1895
amounted TO 500, All, 45 rs against
$50. O28.2 % in 1894, gain Of $l4.
$500. The Police jury or parish
tax for 1895 amounted TO $3.50, 1872.
4s as against $l45.364.Ol in 1894,
q gam OF SIS, 1875. The whole
school fund derived from these aud
other sources amounted to $l,32l,-
392. 95.
786, 7O2.52 were paid for teachers
salaries in 1895 Is against 1872 $685.
So in 1894; gam $54,3l4.l5. The
repairing Of school houses in 1895
cost $l8. 1896 Is against $50. Gill;
% in 1894; gam OF Sl9,811.S2.
$8l, sos. 10 spent in building new
school houses - against sl4.84S,87.
in 1894; gain Of $s6. 654.2s.
1'hese figures certainly indicate
. remarkable advance in educational
lines. and they show . popular
awakening to the need Of better
facilities. We are especially pleased
to notice the great increase in police
jury appropriatioas and local taxes.

Never since the close of the civil
war has the Republican party had
. finer opportunity to render great
service to the American people, by
taking in hands the problems OF the
day honestly and fearlessly. Never
has it had = better chance to win
the support OF those citizens whose
political action is determined rather
by their sense Of public duty than
BY party spirit. But never has it
appeared in 80 repulsive . state Of
moral degradation and 50 unworthy
of support. Some time ago it seem.
ed impossible that the Republican
party could be defested in the COM
ing Presidential election. It seems
impossible no longer.-Leslie's
