BUNcoERs ABROAD: BEWARE

1t is the trick of the Bryanlzed De-
mocracy this fan to make false
charges against Republican methods,
raise a big dust, hire Republican mall
contents to organize Republican bolts
and then coax individual Republicans
to desert their party on the represen-
tation that party ties needn't count
for anything in an off year" BY this
trick. If it shall work. the Bryanites
will get foothod for hopeful fight
in national campaigns, and make just
so much more trouble for Mckinley
the Republican congress and the cause
of sound money.
You now see through this trick. Are
you going to let IT work?

derstand, was first relieved of fons-
troubling rheumatism by the same
remedy"
Work is necessary to a healthy body
and brain; hut when it runs through
the same grooves through the twelve
months, year in and year out, the effect
is as disastrous as a fire in a bundle
of wood.
When the nervous system is tagged
out none of the organs of the body do
their duty: the purifying, excretory or
gans do not thoroughly cleanse tho
blood and the digestive and assimilative
organs keep the nerves badly nourish-
ed.
The tired system needs help. Here is
where Paine's celery compound accom-
plishes its wonderful work. The radi-
cal purifying of the blood and the rapid
feeding of the nerves by this great
remedy prevents the development OF
diseases that often lurk unrecognized
in the system.
Every one who has taken Paine's cell
cry compound has noticed and remark
ed to others its wonderful strengthens
ing effect upon the entire nervous orr
ganiZation and its cleansing action ON
the vitiated blood. 1t cures the body
of that nervous habit eradicates head
ache, cures insomnia and wasting dis
eases, and quickly drives out the pois-
onous humors that cause the aches and
pains of rheumatism and neuralgia.
For building up the body against gem
eral debility, poor appetite, and the
tired lifeless feelings that accompany a
low nervous tone, Paine's celery COM
pound is beyond all question the surest,

use.
An ailing habit with frequent bodily
pains over the seat of such vital organs
as the heart. brain or kidneys is seri-
Gus and urgent. The descent to fatal
disease is easy, whenever the body be-
comes run down" Build up the
strength and resistance of the nervous
and digestive systems with Paine's cel-
cry compound, get rid of unhealthy con
conditions Of these organs, and get out
of danger

DR.. George Edward Reed, president
of Dickinson college, and one of the
best known divines in American Meth
odism, will occupy the pulpit in Elm
Park church tomorrow. Scranton peo-
pie will remember the impression ere
ated by Dr. Reed when he preached
one of the anniversary sermons in this
church two years ago. 1t is probable
that of all the illustrious men who have
stood in that pulpit since the church
was completed not one so captivated
the throngs that listened as did this
speaker. There is a story told of the
genial clergyman that when pastor in
Brooklyn he was paid $1,000 per year,
three thousand for his preaching and
the remainder for his personal appear
ance. He is a man of superb physique
and is exceptionally handsome. These
advantages, together with his splendid
elocutionary ability and eloquence,
render him one of the most sought
after pulpit orators in the country.
That he will be heard tomorrow by
vast audiences both morning and even
ing is assured.

FIERCE HEAT AT CHICAGO
Highest Temperature Known at Great
Inland Metropolis in October
for ~ Years.
DENSE SMOKE AGGRAYATES CONDITION
Chicago's Southern Wards and Suburbs

Situation in Indiana.
DENSE SMOKE AGGRAVATES CONDITION

Chicago, Oct. 5.-The past 81 hours the
thermometer in this city went up to sc
degrees, the highest point registered in
October in ~ years.
Dense smoke aggravated the condi-
tions. On account of the drought during
the last two monthe, everything is as dry
as tinder and forest and prairie fires are
numerous.
Chicago's southern wards and suburbs
are surrounded by prairie fires. Hun
dreds of acres of prairie have been burned
over, and thousands of feet of sidewalks
and fencing have been consumed.
The fremen in this division of the city
are completely exhausted from fighting
prairie fires by day and night. Most of
the fires are started by sparks from
locomotives and not infrequently by
mischievious boys, who set the grass on
fire for excitement.
A dispatch from Bremen, Ind, says that
the most disastrous prairie fire known in
the history of Marshal county is raging.
One hundred acres, comprising the "big
marsh," is one vast smoldering waste.

With fire on every side, great an xiety is
felt for the safety of towns without fire
protection. Nothing short of a drench-
ing rain can possibly check the progress
of the flames.
STATES SUFFERING FOB WATER.
st. Louis, Mo-, OCT. 5.-United States
Observer Frankenfield said today that
the present unprecedented drought ex-
tends over the country. He adds:
"IllInois, Missouri, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Nebraska and Arkansas are all in
great need of wet weather. Missouri and
illinois are suffering the most. There is
yet no indication of rain."
Visitors from these states say that the
ground is too dry for fall plowing and
that all the country roads are from three
to four inches deep in dust. In many
sections of Missouri the cisterns have
gone dry and danger of fire in the small
cities and towns is imminent. The Miss
lssippi and Missouri rivers have not been
so low in ten years.

Sheriff John W. Brown, of San Juan
county, and his chief deputy, Mr.. Boon G..
Vaughn, who landed Captain 7. B. Hart
in the penitentiary for manslaughter on
Saturday, left for home overland this
morning.
Mr.. Brown, who enjoys the distinction
of being the fourth sheriff of his county,
reports that the people of San Juan have
finer crops this year than ever before and
will all have plenty to eat during the
coming winter, in spite of the low prices
incident to their remoteness from mar
kets.
The principal crops Of the county are
apples and alfalfa, but all other fruits are
produced in profusiona, and the yield Of
wheat and corn will be large this season.
The output Of honey, Mr.. Brown says,
will be immense this year, as the honey
yielding flowers we're uncommonly plenti-
full during the entire season and nearly
every ranchman in the county has from
five to 100 sWarme of bees.

SAUSAGE MAKERS TRIAL.
Defense Surprised the Prosecution by
Resting without Putting Ac-
cused on the stand.

Chicago, Oct. 5.--The defense in the
Luetgert murder trial rested today after
two witnesses had testified. Luetgert did
not testify in his own defense. His coun-
sci feared to put him on the stand and he
yielded to their advice with frown.
The first witness today was Henry J..
Cox of the United States weather bureau
He came with charts and data to prove
that the night of May l, 1897, was cloudy
in Chicago and vicinity. This evidence
was brought out to counteract the testi-
mony of witnesses, who swore that they
stood across the street on the night of
May l, and saw Luetgert and wife walking
toward the sausage factory.
Mrs. Mary Charles, wife of William
Charles, Luetgert's business partner, testi-
fed that on several occasions Mrs. Luet-
CERT said to her: II am going away. Ny
husband has failed in business and people
will not point their finger at me and say
she is the wife of the sausage maker who
failed I cannot stand that"
On May l, the witness said, she saw
Mrs. Luetgert the last time. Mrs. Luet-
CERT again said she was going away.
"Did You ever see Mrs. Luetgert wear
finger rings" asked Attorney Phalen.
II have" replied Mrs. Charles.

"Yes, very often"
"Describe them-can your"
"Both were plain gold rings nearly
equal in size-as to width I mean. One
of them am sure-perhaps both-con-
tained Mrs. Luetgert's initials"
"Did You ever see this ring now hand
you" 1t was one of the rings found in
the vat.
The court room was hushed as the
spectators strained their ears to catch the
reply of Mrs. Charles.
mo, sir; never saw that ring before,'
she finally answered. ut is narrower
than either of those Mrs. Luetgert wore."
The other ring was handed to her and
the witness gazed at 1t for some time.
"This ring is about the size of one OF
the rings she wore," said Mrs. Charles
finally, "but I cannot tell, LIDO not think il
is one though"
States Attorney Deneen asked the wit
ness why she did not tell this story TO the
police or Justice Kernsten long ago.
She replied that she had told ii to Lust-
gert's attorneys and was not asked to tell
it agsin.
Fred Miller, nephew of Luetgert. who
worked for the latter in the grocery de-
partment Of his sausage factory, testified
that be had the watch OF Mrs. Luetgert.
He said that Mrs Luetgert gave il to him
to carry, saying that she feared Luetgert
would take it away, as he scolded her for
having SO much jewelry.
The unexpected close Of the defense
found the prosecution unprepared to 60
on with the rebuttal.
The court was adjourned until tomor-
row.

LATE OFFICIALS TROUBLES.
An Ex-Disbursing Officer Explains
That His Shortage Is Attributable
to Careless Bookkeeping.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The grand Jury
has returned three indictments against
Francis j. Kieckhofer, late disbursing
officer of the state department, charging
him with embezzling over $4,000 of
government funds in July and October,
1895, and appropriating to his own use
$4,000 worth of government bonds.
Kieckhofer was arrested in May, 1896,
and indicted, his embezzlement being
then stated at $37,466. After an investi-
cation of his accounts, he was discharged
from Office and it was announced that
there was an apparent shortage of more
than 100000 in his accounts. Kieck-
hofer asserts that the alleged shortage was
due to careless bookkeeping.
