LAKE ARIEL.

Among the frequent visitors at the
lake are I. r. Megargel, G. d. Jones, C.
s. Weston, J. A. Duckworth and w. II.
Hazlett All are preparing their cot
tages for the coming summer and will
move their families as soon as the spe-
cial lake trains are put on.
Large forces of men have been en-
ployed here during the past month and
many changes are seen, the most
noticeable of which is the celaring up
and leveling of the ground between the
station and the Columbia. A substan-
tial stone walk is being laid through
the centre of this plot and what was
once unsightly will now be filled with
beautiful lawns, tennis courts, croquet
grounds, etc.
A new barber shop in connection with
the Hotel Columbia is being erected,
which will be run in a modern, up-to-
date manner.
Our people are anXiously awaiting
the change Of time on the Erie and
Wyoming Valley railroad, which, we
are informed, takes effect on June 4.
The summer trains will then be put on
and the town will be made lively by the
usual influx of cOttagers and transient
guests.
The prospects for a heavy excursion
business were never brighter than at
present. A glimpse of the excursion
list, granted your correspondent, shows
between forty and fifty excursions al
ready booked, and we are advised new
applications are being received daily.
1t is understood here that arrange
ments have been made to hold sacred
Sunday concerts in the grove during
the heated term. Bauer's famous band
has been engaged for the entire sea-
son. This will undoubtedly prove a
pleasant and acceptable diversion to
all who spend the Sabbath at this
place.
Many of the cottages have received
fresh coats of paint and present a very
| attractive appearance.
c. S. Weston is erecting a new boat
house on his property.
new steam merry -go-round is to be
erected in the picnic grounds, which
will greatly increase the pleasure of
excursionists and add to the many at
| fractions now at the lake.

will then be taken to Easton over the
Delaware and Hudson for interment in
the family plot.
Memorial day passed off very pleas
antly here. The parade took place at
o'clock in the afternoon. The follow
ing orders were IN line; Jessup Drum
corps, G.. A. II. veterans. Wilson Fire
company, Warahpo tribe, Red Men;
United American Mechanics, and the
children of the Baptist, Methodist aud
Presbyterian Sunday schools. After
the parade came the address and carry
ing out of the programme as given in
these columns previously.
The Bell Place Gun club failed to put
in their appearance on the Peckville
clubs grounds as arranged yesterday
afternoon, so the shoot was declared
off. The Peckville club chose sides and
enjoyed a fine afternoons sport.
Henry Purdy and David Williams
left last evening for New York, where
they have secured positions to ply their
trade as carpenters.
Our citizens should feel proud of our
fire-ighters. The Wilson's are ever
willing to give their services, and, by
the way, they are a fine-looking body
of men and with their natty uniforms
added materially to the parade yester-
day.
Prospect cemetery presented beau
tiful appearance yesterday. The graves
were strewn profusely with beautiful
flowers and evergreens, and hundreds
took advantage of the day to pay a
visit to the city of the dead.

1T MERITS ATTENTION
DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE.
Remarkable Curative Properties.

A new remedy, which may revolu-
tionize the treatment of stomach trou-
bles, has recently been placed before
the public and bears the endorsement
Of many leading physicians and scien-
tiflc men.
The remedy Is not a wonderful secret
discovery, nor a patent medicine, neith-
er is it claimed to cure anything ex-
cept indigestion and stomach troubles,
with which nineteenths of our nation
are afflicted.
The remedy is in the form of pleas
ant tasting tablets or lozenges con-
tanning vegetable and fruit essences,
pure aseptic pepsin (free from animal
impurities) bismuth and Golden Seal;
they are sold by druggists generally
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Many interesting experiments made
with these tablets show that they pos

| ficient to thoroughly digest 5000 times

| oatmeal or similar wholesome foods;
these tablets do not act on the bowels
like after-dinner pills, nor in fact do
they act upon any particular organ,
but the manner in which they cure all
forms of indigestion is this: They act
| entirely upon the food eaten, digesting
| 1t completely, nourishing every tissue
| and nerve in the body; they simply
perform the work of digestion thus
giving the weak stomach rest and as
sistance sufficient to enable 1t to re-
cover it's normal strength. This is
the reason so many pretended cures
have signally failed they do not furn-
ish the digestive power which is the
one thing above all others that the
stomach of the dyspeptic lacks, and
unless that lack is supplied, it is waste
| of time to attempt to restore the en-
| feebled stomach by means of "tonics,'
stomach bitters' and pills no per-
manent good can result from their use
II the stomach can be rested and
! assisted in the work of digestion it will
very soon recover; this is the secret
| and the whole secret of the remarkable
success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
a remedy practically unknown a year
ago and now the most popular, widely
used dyspepsia remedy, everywhere a
success secured almost entirely on Ats
| merits, as 1t has never been extensive
| ly advertised.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are now
sold by druggists everywhere at sc
cents per package; If he hasn't them in
stock he will order them for you from
his wholesale house. They are made
by the +. A. Stuart Co., chemists, Mar.

Fl Moman's Fearful
Sacrifice.

The place is India. The scene the

bands body. Who can fancy the wo-
mans feelings as she made the pro-
cessional circuit of that pyre, and at
last climbed to its top and stretched
herself by the clay that had been her
husband! Then the torch was applied
and as the flames wrapped her about.
the attendants beat their tom-toms and
the priests chanted in loud tones, to
drown the shrieks and cries that came
from the suffering victim.
Yet after all it is doubtful if the
Hindu widow sacrificed and suffered as
much for a dead husband, as Ameri-
can wives do for the husbands who
live. What are a few brief moments
OF smothering smoke and scorchinG

flee! That is what marriage means for

The races at Anthracite park yester-

DANGEROUS CHURCH TOWER.
Has Shifted Its Center of Gravity
Fifteen Inches.

Architect John A. Duckworth, of
Scranton, has rendered an opinion re-
garding the condition Of the tower OF
ST. Rose church. this city. He says it
has shifted its centre of gravity fifteen
inches and constitutes a menace to life
and property that come within it's
reach during a storm.
This and the needs Of the growing
congregation have moved the members
OF the parish to contribute for the re-
modelling Of the edifice. About $50, 900
will be spent in making the proposed
changes, which will include new altars,
new balcony. enlarged basement new
decorations for the interior of the
auditorium and the reconstruction of
the tower.
