known. They are far more effective in
arousing the liver to action than the
old-fashioned cathartic pills, calomel or
blue pills" and are purely vegetable
and perfectly harmless in any condi-

quired while using them. They cure
biliousness, sick headache, costiveness,
sour stomach, windy belchings, heart
burn pain and distress after eating,

The title of the lecture was "Who Is
the Author of Shakespeare? Upon its
conclusion the impression prevailed
that Mr.. Bower had presented some
very lucid and convincing arguments.
Mr. Bower discarded the cryptogram
theory of Ignatius Donnelly and other
theories built upon isolated passages.
He presented circumstantial evidenc =
from an historical standpoint OF
Shakespeare life and early training.
1t contained no evidence that he was
either inclined or fitted to write the
works attributed to him.
In an examination of the works and
the necessary qualities to produce
them. many We're impressed that no
man of that age, Lord Bacon eXce9t-
ed, had the ability to produce them.
MT. Bower sought to substantiate this
by showing that there was plain link
between the philosophy of the plays
and Bacon's, the religion of the plays
and BacOn's, the mistakes of the plays
and BacOn's.
1t was a most startling fact to con-
slider the unlimited number of parallel
expressions from the plays and from
Bacon's authenticated writings. Mr.
| Bower enumerated many Instances of
this kind and held that they we've
proofs that Bacon was Shakespeare, or
| that Shakespeare was Bacon.

and no books behind him. His daueh-

charging uniform rates of 30 cents on
milk and 80 cents on cream per can Of
forty quarts from all shipping stations
on their respective lines without regard
to distance was unlawful
The commission decides that the uni
form rates complained of are unreason-
able, unjust ana unduly prejudiClal to
producers nearer the points of delivery
for the New York market, and that for
this traffic there should be at least four
divisions of stations, namely: The first
group should extend forty miles out
from the terminal: the second group
should embrace stations within the next
sixty miles: the third group should in
Clude points within the next ninety
miles and The fourth group should cover
stations beyond 19O miles from the ter
mnal.
The rates on can milk should not eN-
ceed % cents for the first or forty milo

mile group, % cents for the third or

DIED FROM HEART FAILURE.
That Was the Coroner's Verdict in
the Epnnell l,nsp.


Joseph Warner Fennell aged 40 years,
colony of stone cutters called wick
izers' place" situated half way up the
West Mountain about a mile from the
western limit of the city. Fennell's
death was from heart failure superin-
duced by Bright's disease. This was
the verdict of jury empanneled by
Coroner Longstreet Monday after
noon.
The death was under very peculiar
circumstances. The Wickizer place is
almost entirely apart from civilization.
Fennell was employed as a cook for the
gang of ten men who work in the stone
quarry and live in a single wooden
house Sunday morning he complained
of illness. In the afternoon he left
the house for a short time and upon re-
turn he went up stairs to his bed room.
When discovered about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon he was dying but he did not
wish a doctor, he said.
A messenger was dispatched for DR..
j. j. Carroll, but before he reached the
house Fennell was dead. The body was
brought Monday afternoon to the
morgue of Undertaken VIII Price on
South Main avenue. West Side. Cor
oner Longstreet held an autopsy that
evening. He was assisted by DR.. Pen
nypacker. DR.. George b. Reynolds and
DR.. Carroll We're present. The finding
was as mentioned before. Fennell was
unmarried
The funeral of Mr. Fennoll will take
place at O'Clock this afternoon from
the residence Of his brother Frank
Fenncll of 1927 Swetland street. Inter
ment will be made in Washburn street
cemetery.

tnabatcd Popularity.

The popularity of the Westminster
hotel New York, shows no sign of
abatement under its new proprietor,
George Murray.
In fact, there's little to suggest to
the visitor that any change of mau-
agement has occurred.
The owner of the property, Mr.. An
able, who as former proprietor of the
house, Is personally known to many of
our citizens, still lives there and seems
to be as much interested as ever in the
comfort of the guests; the familiar
faces of the old employees are still to be
seen in their usual places, and above
all, the quiet, home-nKe comfort and
air of good cheer which have so lone
commended the house to it's patrons
remains unchanged.
Mr.. Murray, the new proprietor, is
an attentive and careful host, and the
continued popularity of the house
shows that Mr., Anable made no mis-
take in selecting his tenant and sue
ctssor. ~

After making their returns Monday
the county Coustabes or so many of

and decided to have u case stated to
test the legality and justice of the

Recently Judge Bennett, of Luzerne,
gave the fee bill his attention to the
extent Of a three thousand word Opin-

cOnstables have been getting too much
money for their services. our local
commissioners took it that Judge Ben

The colstables do not coincide with
Judge Bennett or the commissioners

reading of the fee bin is wrong entirely.
