Factoryville, May 25. - Ex-County
Commissioner j. Wesley Reynolds is
again seriously i'll with dropsy and
heart disease, the nature of which has
become alarming to his many friends.
Street Commissioner Aaron Phillips,
who has been confined to his home for
several weeks, has so far recovered as
to be out again, but not able to resume
his duties.
The condition of Daniel Capwell re-
mains about the same, No change for
the better is reported at this time.
Tunkhannock will play base ball here
with Keystone academy on Decoration
day and not today, as reported else
where.
At the butter factory there are new
parties coming into the association and
bringing their milk nearly every morn
ing now, They evidently know a good
thing when IL is started. The factory
turned out the first churning OF butter
Wednesday, consisting OF about 200
pounds, and it was pronounced gilt
edged. The dalrymen are improving
the opportunity to take home with
them whatever SKINNED milk they
need, which is a great accommodation.
Outsiders or the public can get good
skinned milk for the nominal price of
ten cents per can of forty quarts,

A person who has chronic catarrhal
difficulties and has not given Peruna
a fair trial, is unfortunate, indeed.
To be afflicted with chronic catarrh
and not try Peruna, is as foolish as
to have the fashioned chlls and
fever and refuse to try quinine, or to
have a broken bone and not allow the
doctor to set it,
Peruna has come to be so universally
recognized as a specific cure for ca
tarrhsl affections. acute or chronic
that 1t is amazing that anyone should
continue to suffer on with such a per-
sistenc malady, neslecting to take a
remedy that is sure.

Of'course, it may be that many peo-
pie have not yet come to know of this
remedy for catarrhal affections, but 1t
is strange 1t should be so after such
multitudes have been cured by 1t and
so many papers have heralded 1t
from one end OF the country to the
other. Men and women of all ages
and rank, the rich and poor, the
learned and illiterate, are daily giving

Peruna will cure all catarrhal diseases.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Miles Novotny,
thirty-three years old, believed to have
been a stenographer employed in the
government service, was found dead in

He had been in New York for about
year and is believed previous to that
time to have practiced law in Chicago.
The physician who was summoned in
the case noticed that there were some
large cracks in a wooden partition which
separated NOVOtny's room from the next
one. He advised that the occupant OF
this room be summoned to inquire wheth-

door, however, was found locked, and on
being broken in the occupant Of the room,
Henry B. Gibbons, sixty three years of
age, was found dying from the fumes.

Most of the time of the Philippine COM

Judge Taft said today that generally
speaking the new rates would be about
40 per cent of the existing rates.
"It will be essentially a tariff for

industries already established Will be
given protection. The commission is not
considering the question Of the constitu-

of cotton goods, so as to eliminate the
clay used by European manufacturers,
which increases the weight. This will
incidentally favor American goods. The
