The entertainment given in the
opera house wednesday evening by the
scholars of the Forest City graded
school was one Of the most enjoyable
performances that has been seen here
In some time. The first number on the
programme was a boys operetta by
pupils from Miss Anna Thomas room.
The title was Vocal Skill of the
Frogs" The production consisted of
solos and choruses and the perform
ers We're dressed in the appropriate
green costume. The girls operetta fol-
lowed; title, THE Busy Bees" The
pupils We're from Miss Riley's room,
and their work ELECTED much applause.
Miss Lizzie Davies scholars gave an

although the participants We're little
girls of from 6 to s years old. The

FLOOD AT YATESVILLE.
The Wall of the Pennsylvania Coal
COMPANY Pond Breaks Away.

Pittston, May 13.-At noon today at
Yatesville the front end of the big
pond of the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany, from which the water supply is
secured for the neighboring collieries,
burst.
The break at first was about ten
feet wide, but with the rush of water
which Immediately followed the break
ing of the barrier, little by little the
embankment gave way further on both
sides and soon the great body of water
rushed through the aperture at a ter
rifle rate, doing a great damage not
only to the surrounding property in
Yatesville, but also to the low prop
critics all along the Creek leading from
Yatesville, past No. shaft, and
through Oregon and the old canal
wharf to the river.
One of the big ice houses of the
Pittston Ice company, filled with the
years supply, was carried off by the
mad rush of waters, and several of the
properties along the line of the creek
especially at the culvert under Rail-
road street, Oregon, are flooded.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple but Safe and Ef.
tectual Cure for II.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompan-
led sometimes with sour or watery ris-
ings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs ana
difficult breathing headaches, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and If the inter-
ior of the stomach could be seen 1t
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi-
tion.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before 1t has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. TO
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal condition will have dis
appeared
According to DIR. Harlanson the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little NuX, COL
den Seal and fruit acids. These tablets
can now be found at all drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and not being a patent medi-
cine can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion Will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher. of 2710 Dearborn
St, Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is
local condition resulting from ne
elected cold In the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
inflamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing Catarrh of the stomach. Medl-
cal authorities prescribed for me Tor

without cure, but today / am the hap

You think it is because
your child is "growing too
fast " that he fails to put on
flesh. More often it is
due to a gradual and general
weakening of all the forces
of the body. The child
may have no pain, may have
a fair appetite and yet lose
flesh. Perhaps the happieSt
effects of Scott'S Emulsion
are in such cases as these.
1t gives the body a fat which
is easily taken up; alters

plies the best blood-making
food known to medical
science.

THE BODY IDENTIFIED.
The Drowned Man Was Michael Clin-
ton, of Halle Street.

From the Wilkes-Barre Times.
The body of the man who was
drowned in the river yesterday was
last night identified at Doran's NOR
que as that of Michael Clinton, who
resides on Halle street near Moyal-
len. He was brother of John Clin-
ton, the we'll known grocer of Ashley
who took charge of the body. Under
taker Mooney removed it from Doran' s
morgue to the late residence of de-
ceased.
Michael Clinton was about so years
of age. His wife is an inmate of the
DanVille asylum. No children survive.
For many years he had been switch
tender at South Wilkes Barre, but had
not been working of late. He owned
two properties on Halle street and
was quite comfortably fixed, His rela-
tives are as much mystifed by the
manner of his death or the cause of il
as anybody. They say he was accus-
toned to walk in his sleep a great
deal, and they are inclined to believe
that it was while on one of his SOM
nambulistic walks that he met death
They can think of no reason why he
would have wished to end his life.
