Advertising.

Until business is successful without a
proper store, proper employees, ana the
right amount of capital, 1t must be as
summed that these three conditions are cs-
scntal to the conduct of profitable trade,
and it is as obvious that SO long as adver-
Using accompanies the business of profit
that advertising Is necessary for the up
building of business.
The mere appearance of advertising In.
dicates that business is being done, or Will
be done, and so long as everybody prefers
to buy Of men of success rather than oil
men Of failure just 30 long will the man
who advertises be likely to do the largest

a system that is responsible for the
many ills the people now suffer. Dun
more possesses many advantages and
should grow rapidly and steadily and it
should have public improvements COM
mensurate with its importance and de-
velopment. 1t could have them with
out increasing the tax rate if the
money raised was wisely and
economically expended. 1t is not,
and therefore it has come to pass
that the borough has an Indebtedness of
$4,000 and nothing to show for it save
borough building worth about $4,000
which is kept as is probably no other
borough building in the state. The
borough debt consists of 900 bonded
Indebtedness and a floating indebted
ness of $4,000. In such a sloVenly man.
ner is the business of the borough con-
Quoted that recently it had no
money to pay the '96 interest on its
bonded Indebtedness. It's orders are
haWked about from store to store and
the unfortunates who possess them are
glad to dispose of them at a good sized
discount. The banks that have a num-
Der of the orders on hand are clamoring
for money but none is Forthcoming.
This deplOraDle condition of affairs
works double injustice, first to the
people employed by the borough who
cannot get the money honestly due
them; second to the borough because
in making purchases it has to pay
larger price for everything than it would
if the persons who sell the borough
knew they could get their money as
soon as it is due. What becomes of the
money raised by taxation each year?
1t is wasted or worse. No one can
point to any lasting, valuable improve
nent made but on the contrary public
improvements of all kinds are neglected
and only attended to when delay can
no longer be tolerated For this Grim
inally negligent and incompetent kind
of borough government a better one
must be substituted. 1t is for this bet
tering of borough affairs the Republi-
can candidates stand. They are all
honest, earnest, capable men who be-
lieVe that the same care and wisdom
should be exercised in eXpending the
| taxpayers money that would be in their
individual business affairs. They see
necessity of reform and their election
| tomorrow will mean that Dunmore will
| take a long step forward. 1t is the
duty of every good citizen to bring
| about such a result. The Democrats

PROVIDENCE.

Patrick Barrett was arraigned before
Alderman Roberts last Saturday after
noon to answer to the charge of per-
jury. The perjury case is the outcome
of a suit in which Barrett was the
prosecutor and in which he, it is al
legged, falsely accused Thomas McLain,
the defendant, of attempting to kill
him. Barrett came to the police sta
tion Thursday night of last week in
most lamentable condition. He could
not walk without the assistance of his
wife, and upon reaching the station
house he dropped into a chair, and for
a time it looked as though the police
menNwere going to have a dead man to
take care of. This was nothing but
clever piece of acting. When the Off
GERS questioned him, he said that
about $50 o'clock that night he was
going to his barn, accompanied by
his son. He looked toward the Nc
Lain residence and saw two figures,
and recognized them as Thomas Nc
Lain and his wife; he also said that he
heard Mrs. McLain say, There he is
now, Tom, shoot him." and immediate
ly a shot was fired. He retained suf-
ticient presence of mind to throw him
self to the ground. He had no sooner
done so than two more shots were
fired in rapid succession. His fright
ened condition rendered him uncon-
scious. When he came to- his wife
was bending over him and crying. He
finally managed to walk to the house
and after sufficiently recovering he
came to the station house, accomDa-
MED by his wife and son. Alderman
Roberts was sent for and Barrett
swore out warrant for McLain's ar
rest. In swearing the information Bar
rett also said that he saw the revolver
in McLain's hand, and that after he
(BarretD fell to the ground Mrs. Nc
Lain said to her husband: Tom, you
have him killed; lower the light" The
warrant was placed in the hands of
Patrolman Duggan, who went to the
McLain home on Bloom avenue. Be
fore il could be served the charge was
withdrawn. Mr.. McLain accordingly
swore out a warrant for Barrett's ar
rest for perjury. Barrel, was held un-
der $500 bail. in default of which he
went 70 Jail. Immediately after this
case Mrs. Barrett was arrested on the
same charge, She was held under $500
bail

ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD.
A NEW DISCOVERY WHICH is WORTH
THAT MUCH.
TO Anyone Afflicted with piles.

The Pyramid Pile Cure, the new,
painless remedy which has been so re-
markably successful in curing every
form of piles and rectal diseases, has
recently been placed on sale at drug
gists and II Is safe to say that when
its extraordinary merit becomes fully
known, there will be no such thing as
surgical operations for the cure of this
obstinate and common trouble.
Mrs. NJ. G.. Hinkley, of Col Misss-
sippi St. indianapolis, Ind, says: |
had been a terrible sufferer from piles
for IS years and no remedies bene-
fitted me, until I saw an advertise
ment of the Pyramid Pile Cure; ! got
a package, also Il package of Pyramid
Pills and used both according to direc-
tions. I was astonshed at the imme-
diate relief obtained and now / honest
ly believe the Pyramid to be the only
certain cure for piles.
That you may realize how bad / was,
l will say that l was confined to my
bed and went before the college physi-
clans here who said my case was a
new one to them and wanted seven or
eight hundred dollars to undertake a
cure; the great pain had brought on a
rupture and | knew an operation
would be death to me on account OF
blood poisoning. Nearly everyone here
knows of my terrible suffering from
piles and / feel that | cannot praise
the Pyramid Pile Cure enough, and the
Pyramid Pills also. My husband VIII
join me in highly recommending the
Pyramid, my daughter was cured by
one box only. For several years l
weighed but about 80 pounds, now l
weigh $50 and feel in perfect health.
This seems to be the universal testi-
mony of every sufferer from piles who
have ever tried the Pyramid; it is the
safest, most painless pile cure yet dis
covered, contains no opiate, morphine
cocoaine or any poisonous ingredient
| whatever. has a soothing, healing ef-
| feet from the first application, and the
| moderate price places it within the
reach of everyone needing treatment

gists at so cents and $l.00 per package
and the Pyramid Pills at 20 cents pei

treasurer by DR.. w. A. Paine. The pub
lie confidence in the hospital is highly
complimentary to the members of the
association Nearly every lodge that
has considered the matter of a con-
tributlon to the hospital fund has, after
investigation, given something The
fact that the constitution or by-laws of
some lodges forbids the donation of
money is being cleverly over-rdden by
the fact that every beneficial organiza-
ton makes provision for the employ
ment of d nurse for any of its members
who is indisposed. The law does not
say how long that nurse shall be retain
ed. Under this correct line of reasoning
the hospital can be supported without
infringing upon the obnoxious law. r..

MR.. OLIVER EXPLAINS.
Tells Just Why II Was He Opposed the
Ordinance for the Opening OF
Hampton Street.

Some fellow down in the Fifteenth
ward who wants to represent that ball
wick in common council, has wasted
about 81 of good silver in the printing
of a number of circulars with which he
cgreets" the voters of the ward. lie
distributed the circulars Saturday al
ternoon and evening in all the saloons
of the locality. He wants the voters Oh
the ward to understand that Joseph Il.
oliver the Republican nominee for re-
election, has been guilty of breach OF
faith to his constituents The circular
does much into detail, citing an instance
of Mr.. divers supposed infidelity. He
asks: did you read the record of the
common council meeting of Dec. 80, 1896,
when Mr.. oliver was the first man in
the room to pump up and oppose the
opening of Hampton street to Fourth
street, Then he exciaims: 81 am sor-
ry to say such was the easel
These circulars, spread broadcast,
would tend, if truthful, to injure Coun-
Gilman oliver at the polls tomorrow.
Candidate Oliver was seen last evening
by a Tribune reporter. In regard to
his altitude on the Hampton street
opening matter he acknowledges that he
opposed the measure as it was con-
structed at that time. His reasons are:
If the opening was made according to
those plans the grade from Meridian
street to Fourth street would be 20 feet
in every hundred. This would be seven
feet more of an incline than there is at
present on West Lackawanna avenue
hill. Think of this-seven feet of earth
piled on the top of Lacllawanna avenue
hill Moreover, the width of Fourth
street is but 40 feet and a street car
track takes w the centre. With a
grade almost like a precipice and a
street car running at the foot the open
ing according to the plans which Coun-
Gilman Oliver defeated would be far
worse than useless
