They Broke Jail.

Last night about : o'clock
when jailer Smith opened the
door of the jail corridor, two
colored men, Sol Fluker and Gill
bert Coon, who were crouching,
one on either side of the door,
dashed out by HIM and on through
the Jail, out at the open yard gate
and made good their escape.
Fluker was soon caught but Coon
is still at large. Had the yard
gate been locked the men could
not have gotten out before they
would have been captured, as the
fence is of iron and very high.
Fluker was in for breaking and
entering and Coon for assault
with intent to commit a rape.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased por-
tions of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed
condition of the mucous lining Of
the eustachian tube. When this
tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound Of imperfect
hearing and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

More

Curative power is contained in
Hoods Sarsaparilla than in any
other similar preparation. 1t
costs the proprietor and manu-
facturer more. 1t costs the job
ber more and it is worth more to
the consumer. More skill is re-
quired in its preparation and it
combines more remedial qualities
than any other medicine. Conse-
quently it has record of more
cures and it's sales are moro than
those of any other preparation.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best
medicine to buy because it is an
honest medicine and thousands of
testimonials prove that it does
actually and permanently cure
disease.

NO LAND LIKE FLORIDA.
The Old, Old Story Again Repeated
Is Satisfied With Florida and Ma.
riOn County in Particular.

Henry Lane was an orange
grower at Mcintosh up to the
time of the great freeze, but that
disastrous experience so depressed
his feelings and withered his
hopes Of future success in this
line of industry that he shook
the sands of Marion county from
off his shoes and struck out for
the gold fields of Transvaal and
the land of Jameson and Barney
Barnato. In a recent letter to
Louis Volk from Buluwayo, he
details his bitter experience in
traversing over 500 miles of tor
rid sands with OK teams, seeking
a fortune.
Speaking of prices, he said a
bag of corn containing 200
pounds, was worth $50 and a bag
of meal of same weight brought
readily $50. It made him sigh
to think he had left a land flow
ing with milk and honey (Florida)
where these articles could be had
for S1.25 and $3.50 a sack, which
compelled him to confess that he
so far in his travels had seen no
country that would compare with
Florida in which to make a good
living easily.

BROOKS TOOK POISON.
ColOred Man Was Out of Work and Be.
came Despondent and Tried TO
Kill Himself.

Jesse Brooks, the colored man fa-
miliar to many as the janitOr of the
Scranton Business College, attempted
to end his life a l o'clock Wednesday
afternoon by taking a quantity of
laudanum. Brooks life was saved
after an exciting two-hour battle with
the deadly stuff.
The mans rash act was caused by
dependency. For a long time past
Brooks has been out of employment.
and was unable to secure a job. This
discouraged him. and when he went
to his home on Capouse avenue We'd
nesday he retired to a sleeping apart
ment, saying nothing of his intentions.
An hour or so afterward Mrs. Brooks
heard him groaning, and upon going
into his room she found her husband
in semi-conscious condition. Think
ing that he was ill., she sent for DR..
Saltry.
The physician at once noticed symp-
toms of poison, and his suspicious were
confirmed when he found half-ounce
bottle that had recently contained
laudanum by the side of the man,
Druggist Rogers was sent for, and
with DIR. Saltry he began the battle
to save Brooks life. After adminis-
tering different antidotes it was sug-
gested that the man be taken into
the open air.
This was done. with the result that
Brooks was relieved of the poisonous
stuff.
Yesterday and last night he rested
easily and his complete recovery Is
looked for.
