Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There Is comfort IN
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condl-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs prompt
ly removes. That Is why it Is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore
all important, in order TO get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-inforned everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Am InaeoessfbIs s-Srsef Honey.

On Elk mountain, Sus9uehanna coun
ty, few miles from the Jefferson
branch Of the Erie railroad, there is ar
extraordinary lot of wild honey. The
hive is located in rift which penetrate.
the rock probably TO depth of 100 feet
The erifice Is 30 feet long and IT feet
wide. The rift was discovered to De the
abiding place of & huge swarm of bees
which ny in close column one foot in di
ameter. Many persons have tried to &c,
at the honey stored by these bees. bui
were invariably driven back One man,
three years ago, nearly lost his life in
the attempt. Others have built a scat.
fold 125 high in the hope of reaching .
place where they vainly tried TO run q
tube into the hoard OF sweets and ex-
tract little. Within four years tho
bees have added probably not less than
IS feet Of honey to their treasure. Ii il
thought that there are several tons of
honey in the rock. A man named Dun
Gan, who lives in a cabin not fur from the
spot, each summer obtains from the
rock by the suns heat more than
enough for his family. All through that
region, the second highest point in
Pennsylvania, wild honey Ia found in
the cracks of neutrality-suspicious.

The morning paper has column
OF manufactured politics on local
affairs today, and says the rumored
split in the courthouse family is
all blind, that they had kissed
and made up. for the purpose of
dividing up the offices and spoils.
Senator Lewis has been switched off
from his aspirations for congress,
and is to be given the place of dis
trict attorney, while Major Lewey
is to be groomed possibly for
mayor. Another thing that seems
to worry the political reporter is to
find man to pit against Judge
Noonan, and tried to make Mr.. j.
l.. Slayden the unfortunate victim.
Col. Gus. Houston was the ablest
and strongest man the democrats
had, and he does not want to run
against the Noonan buzz-saw
again. The fine italian hand of

greatest interest, and our citizens
are urged to attend in numbers as
many interesting events outside OF

For Better Fire Protection.

Chief Tobin, of the fire depart
ment, held a conference with May
or Elmendorf this morning regard
ing the necessity of establishing a
hose company somewhere on the
crest of Dignowity hill, or in
South Heights, for better fire pro-
lection. The mayor was favorably
inclined to have a hose company
located there, if the citizens could
be induced TO donate lot to build
the house on. There will be only
!, 200 feet of hose needed, as the
chief has a hose reel, unused, now
at his disposal.
He says he will change the loca-
ton of fire alarm box No. 25l,
from Engine company No. 3, te
some place on the hills on the east
side of the city, and is contem'
plating the removal of the Sunset
hose company to about four blocks
east, on Burleson or Sherman
streets.

Attempted Murder .

Ed. Walters and Oscar Scott
were assaulted and fired upon
about 10 O'Clock last night on Gar
den street, at the southern APP
proach of the bridge over the river,
and one shot passed very close to
Scott's head. The negroes then ran
away, when they saw Officer Lacey
approaching, and made good their
escape.
They met the white men on the
sidewalk, and would not let them
pass, using very abusive language.
When one of them was knocked
down he arose and fired the revol-
yer he carried.
