hurry. For several weeks past we have had
cases of dengue or breakbone fever here, but
not a single death. There Is not now u real
suspicious case of fever in town.
The push and enterprise Of Scranton is to be
seen at every turn, but the most tasty and
substantial Of recent improvements is the fa-
cade Of the DeJean & Mitchell Co.'S store,
which now has a modern iron and plate glass
front with show windows of enorm0u size,
which are supported by iron columns Of beau.
tiful design. When these windows are com.
pleted they will be filed with a rare and beau
tiful display OF fancy articles. The architec.
tural design OF the whole front would do honor
to a city Of much larger size. Emerson said
the civilization Of a country is not to be judged
by the size Of its cities, but by the quality Of
men that live in them. Men who b~eautify
their place Of business are of the highest type
Of mankind. Let others follow in the wake of
this enterprising firm and our town will be a
place Of beauty.

playing havoc with the sheep Of the neighbor-

they went a cunning. The first day they sue
ceeded in killing a bear about two years old

and this time with better success. The dogs
discovered an old bear with two cubs, and IN
the chase the two cubs made haste to climb a
tree, but the mother ran away. The hunters

lofty perch by we'll directed shots from theiI
rifles. The hunters waited a short while ant
