became worse. We were living in Franklin,

the pills The first dose helped her, ana
after the first box had been taken, she was
different girl. She continued with this
medicine and when she had taken eight
boxes a complete cure had been effected.
She is now stronger, can eat more, sleeps
better, and weighs more than she did before
she was taken sick. / am sure too much

ARRESTED WHILE AT WORK.
John Kiirain Waited in vain All Day
for n Bondsmnn,

John Kilrain sat in Alderman Mil
lars office yesterday from 10 o'clock
in the morning until $50 o'clock in the
evening He wore his sooty working
clothes and his face was black from
toling at the South steel mill, where
he was arrested in the early morning.
At $50 o'clock last night Kilrain was
taken to the central police station,
where he spent the night. He is 30
years old, tall, raw-boned, honest and
innocent in appearance. The only re-
lation he has in the world is his
mother, who Is in Ireland.
Kilrain bade goodbye to his native
land about two months ago and came
to Scranton. He got a job at the
South mill and secured board in
Moosic. Last Friday night a freight
car standing on the Delaware and Hud-
son tracks, near the steel mill station,
was broken into and three kegs of
beer stolen. The company detectives
discovered Kilrain, Hugh Brady and
several others drinking beer from the
kegs.
Kilran, Brady, Patrick McCann and
Hugh Foley were arrested by Detec-
tive Martin Crippen and the four were
taken before Alderman Millar yester-
day. Mccain and Foley were dis
charged.
Alderman Millar listened to the evil
dence and held Brady and Kilrain
under $500 bail. Brady's friends fur
nished lne security at once and they
left the office with Kilrain sitting in
his chair and waiting for some good
angel to come. Alderman Millar gave
him until o'clock before sending him
| to Jail. Dinner hour passed and Kill
rain expressed the wish that his din
| ner" pail. left at the mill. was with
| him. The big fellow cried at times
| and kept himself busy looking at the
clock and listening for footsteps on the
| stairway. Everybody pted him.
The venerable Constable Carmar
| gave him clay pipe and Special Off.
Ger Byars shared his tobacco with the
unfortunate and at $50 the magis.
trate of the Eighth contributed from
his own purse the money to buy Xii
rain meal.
| Kilrain pleads innocence and says
he was not one Of the gang who com
mitted the theft. He was invited t
join them in drinking the beer.

We$t Side and City Suburban

an apprenticeship of six years in the
common branch. Common Councilman
Thomas has done much not only for
his constituents, but for the city in
general during his several terms.
Evan p. Davis is also candidate for
select council in this ward.
In the Sixth ward uncertainty eX-
lists. The intentions of neither the Sc
lectman, NJ. +. Clarke, nor his col
league, John Il. Regan, are very pro-
nounced. However beneath this SEEM
ing Indifference lies the almost positive
purpose of Mr. Clarke to succeed him
self and of Mr.. Regan to succeed Mr.
Clarke. No candidate has appeared to
succeed Mr.. Regan, as yet, in case the
above takes place. It. is whispered
that a Republican will try and may
not try in vain this time.
In the Fourteenth nothing appears
to be about to change. p. +. Mccain,
selectman and p. ]. Nealis, commoner,
will run for reelection to their present
holdings. They will however be op-
posed it is said by Peter Ross, of West
Lackawanna avenue and NJ. II. Rine-
hart, of Eighth street, for select and
common council respectively.
AS for the aspect of affairs in the
Eighteenth. little can be said other
than a similar circumstance exists as
in the Sixth. NJ. j. Burns. selectman,
will endeavor to succeed himself and
may have to try against the endeavors
of Common Councilman j. f. Ncone
along that line. AS in the Sixth also,
no candidate for Mr. Noone's toga has
as yet crept out into the open.
The contest for the school controller
| ships may be heavily charged with the
! possibility of the naming of six cam
didates for the city at large. At any
calculation George b. Carson, the pres
ent controller from the Fifth ward, has
said he will not run for reelection, and
! three candidates are already in the
| field. Two of them, d. L. Phillips and
| Edwin G. Hughes, have been actively
at work for several months, but the
| third, Edward Thomas, outside boss at
! the Hyde Park shaft, has not positive
| ly said no or yes. Mr.. Phillips makes a
strong bid, having resided in the Fifth
ward for nearly 30 years and was born
in West Scranton. He has never run
for office, though always active in par
| ty efforts and has a staunch backing.
His probable opponent, Mr.. Hughes,
! the well known contractor has always
been identified with the workers for his
party and has many friends He was
pitted against Mr. Carson once and did
not run very far behind. The scarcity
Of Democratic votes makes it doubtful
as to Democratic candidate for this
office.
John II. Williams, of Williams & Co.
is the present controller from the Fif.
teenth and it is entirely probable will
run for reelection. A possible candi-
date so far is Elias F. Evans, OF
Evans & Powell, shoe dealers. The
two men were opposing candidates al
the last election and it is rumored that
the order Of succession will be revers.
ed this time. Lack of Democratic
strength will probably not bring out
a Democratic candidate here.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
Several Important Matters Discussed d
mud Acted lIpOu.


The West Side board of trade met
last evening in regular monthly ses-
sion and transacted but a small amount
of business. There were no commit
tee reports of any moment and the
session was short. President a. Is.
Holmes presided.
A committee was appointed, consist
ing Of Dr. ]. j. Carroll, ID. d. Evans
and Jenkin r. Reese, to confer with
Street Commissioner Dunning relative
to the laying of a sidewalk at the
Brown property, abutting on Jackson
street. No sidewalk was ever laid at
that place, owing to some misunder-
standing I'm reference to the land, and
though the attention of the councils
has been repeatedly drawn to the ex-
listing state of affairs, no action was
taken. At present the travelling public
is compelled to use the street with
risk OF life and limb at this point.
A communication was read from
joint committee located at Chicago,
who are urging the cooperation of
various organizations throughout the
country in favorinE a bill which was
submitted to the senate last year by
Hon. William p Frye. The bill is
seeking the creation of a department
of commerce and industry for the di-
rect purpose of caring for the country's
domestic trade relations. The commit
tee is c. F. Quincy, chairman; Frank
Barry, Elliott Durand and Leonard
Tillotson. secretary. The communica-
tion was not acted upon.
President A. B. Holmes made some
statements in reference to the two in
dustries which the board had recently
tried to locate on the West Side. No
capital had been taken by West Scran-
ton business men in the carpet in
dustry, which is to be located on the
Tripp tract.

Councilmen for both branches and

West Scranton two councilmen each

elected and one school controller from
the Fifth and Fifteenth wards.
In the Fourth ward the present rep
resentatives are w. j. Thomas in the
select and Simon Thomas, of the COM
mon branch. 1t is probable that Mr.
Thomas Of the select, will try for re-
election. At any rate, Mr. Thomas Of

Councilmanic seat and has already an
nounced his candidacy and begun his
canvass
To succeed Common Councilman
Thomas, William V. Griffiths, who ran
two years ago; w. w. Evans, who
