USED A LITTLE DIPLOMACY
Reason For Non-AwardIng Of Plumbing
Contract said to Be Due to Plumbers
Association.

When the building contract for the
Greendale engine house was awarded
yesterday, the bids for the plumbing
work we're left unopened The com
mittee announced that but two bids
were received and the contract would
be awarded in two weeks. Thereby
hangs a tale.
When the bidding was fairly under
way, members the Master Plumbers
association secuted around before figur-
ing in an endeavor TO see who thew
We're up against. For short time Il
looked as though the fight for the con-
tract would be among themselves. An
out of town firm is believed to have
registered a bid, and then local
plumbing firm which has been freely
advertised, slapped In a bid which was
quietly but generally whispered about
as staggerer for the Master Plumbers
association.
Then the combine got together and
laid all kinds of wires to beat out the
firm which had received the donation of
plumbing Job ait the hospital SO con-
fident were the members OF the ascot
alton that the contract would not be
made yesterday that they simply laid

Jermyn man had on his hands horse
that would not pull an empty wagon,
and had lost a fairly good animal. He
was still bcmOaning the fate that threw
him in contact with the Carbondalian

came walking quietly along the road to
the barn. VIII, of course, took the
horse in and gave him his old stall. He
then took the Carbondale mans horse
UP to his original home and placed him
carefully in the barn. on returning he
met the owner, who had been search
ing for his missing animal. He was at
first highly pleased to think it had
been found and returned, but when he
discovered it was the worthless crea-
ture he had traded his pleasure turned
to Indignation and resulted in his hav-

charge of horse stealing. He was taken
before Squire Atkinson at Carhondale

At a meeting of the Wilson Fire
company, held Tuesday evening, Messrs.

committee to call upon our business
men and coal companies and solicit
financial aid for the purchase of a drop
harness and hose wagon. At present
the heavy carts are pulled by hand
and much valuable time is lost In
reaching a fire should it be any dis
tance away from the hose house. our
fire laddies have always responded
promptly to every alarm. but with a
team and proper equipment the boys
would be able to render much quicker
aid and would be the means of saving
much property, the larger part being
owned by the different coal companies
hereabouts, as the majority of the fires
are at these coal Collieries. 1t is hoped
the committee will meet with such sue
cess that the new outfit can be pur-
chased in the near future.

CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Best Features of the New
Pile Cure.

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all
forms of piles without one particle of
pain. This desirable point is not OBJ
tanned by the use of injurious oplates
which simply deaden and paralyze the
nerves of the parts and make matters
worse in the long run. But it is done
solely by its remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
And while it thus gives immediate
relief, at the same time the disease is
not merely checked, but a radical cure
is accomplished.
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without a par
ticle of pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
popularity Of the Pyramid Pile Cure
and constitutes one very great differ
treatment for piles.
Every kind of surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besides
endangering the life of the patient and
i'm most cases is not to he compared
with the Pyramid Pile cure. neither in
making successful cures without pain
nor in cheapness and safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public so long, and its merits
recognized by too many people to al
low it to be classcd with the many
salves, suppositories, pills. etc, and
you run no risk i'm trying It, as 1t is
often the case with untried prepara-
tions.
If you are ever troubled with any
form of piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Pre-
pared by the Pyramid Drug Co, Of
Marshall. Mich, and sold by druggists
at 30 cents per package.

TUNKHANNOCK.

Nearly everyone unites in praising
Foreman G.. A. Skinner, and the mem
bers of his efficient fire company for
their good work during the recent fires
in this town. The first fire of the
series occurred on the 14th of March
about 3 o'cloCk a. m in the Gray block,
corner Warren and Tioga streets. The
fire started in the basement Of the
store occupied by NJ. j. Leonard and
against the partition dividing that
store from the n. b. Grenville Drug
store. When the company got to work
the two buildings We're filled with
smoke and it was a. hard matter to To-
cate the fire Nevertheless they sue
ceeded in conlning the fire to the two
buildings, which were afire when they
began To work. The next fire was on
the 18th Of the same month about l
o'clock a. III. in the furniture store Of
Il. $. Burson. The members of the
company had been up a good share of
the night before at the Gray fire. new
ertheess they made a quick response
to this alarm, and ten minutes after
the host was laid the fire was out
there being no smoke to cope with in
this case. Next was the Biddleman
fire in the rooms over the Space store
which occurred on the Nth of April at
1920 p. m. Here the company went
upstairs with a line of hose and got
onto the fire Immediately and in half
AN hour ii was all over. Then the next
afternoon at p. m. occurred the fire in
the lower end Of town near the resi-
dence of II. NJ. Harding. This was
unimportant except for the quick re-
sponse of the company. The last Of
the series was the recent fire in the
Space store, which occurred about 3
o'clock on last Sunday afternoon. This
is acknowledged by everyone TO have
been the most stubborn fire, and the
hardest to handle, that has occurred
In the town since the organization Of
the IRE company. The good work they
did may be realized from the fact that
the people in the adjacent buildings
began to move their goods out, think
ing the hre would get beyond control
SandWlched in between the two last
iires' was the fire at Eatonville, in the
store of f. j. Wheelock. Here, al
though they could not use their an
paratus, the Tritons did good work in
the bucket brigade and were a large
factor in the moving Of adjacent build-
ings. In the series Of five fires not one
of them has been allowed IN snreod
from the building where they origin
ateu' rms is record which a paid
clty department might be proud of.
