Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, Sept. 25.--Farmer Bar
ry, of Red Rock, has fine herd of
Jersey cattle. He takes great pride In
them, and the fine quality of milk pro-
duced by them causes him to receive
an extra price in the market For
month a black COW has been giving lit
tie milk, and a veterinarian was called
in He examined the animal and pro-
nounced her entirely healthy.
Then Farmer Barry turned detective.
The herd daily stand for hours in the
Susquehanna river in a little eddy be-
low the house. on Sunday, while Far
mer Barry was sitting on log near
the river, he saw and heard splash
near the black COW, and in a moment
a big carp swan up to the animal and
commenced milking her. The fish re-
mained motionless until it secured it's
fun. then slowly swan under large
rock and was seen no more that day.
on Monday Farmer Barry again took
his position on the log, but this time
he was armed with a shotgun. After
half an hours watching the fish ap-
peared, and while swimming toward
the black COW, the farmer blazed away
and the carp turned over on it's side,
gasped a few times and died. Farmer
Barry towed it ashore and lugged it
home. 1t weighed thirteen pounds.

SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
twenty-five Years Constant Use without a
Failure

The first indication of Group is
hoarsenesS, and in child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is peculiar
rough cough. If Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarSe, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in MANY
thousands of homes in this broad land
and never disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn of a
single, instance in which it has not
proved effectual. No other prepare
ton can show such a record twenty
tive years constant use without a
failure. For sale by T. L.Steib & Co.

ent of the Delaware, LaCkawanna and
Western Railroad company, will be-
come a permanent resident of Scran-
ton when he returns from his present
sea voyage, which he started on Satur-

made in that respect
Mr. Russell's physicians have advised
him to locate in some place more con-
genial to his health than the metropo-
lis, and he has decided to become a
resident of Scranton. During his short
stays here, Mr.. Russell was a guest at
the Jcrmyn, but when he returns from
his present trip it will be to his home.
Mrs. Russell was in the city yester-
day and in company with a represen-
tative of a well-known real estate
agent, looked over several houses which
are vacant at present. but she has not
definitely decided on any particular
location as yet All of the houses Wis.,

train for her home in Watertown, but

other men and boys employed in the
mine went out in sympathy with them.

shutting down of the colliery indefi-
nitely.

work yesterday morning they present
ed a petition to Foreman James Neal
for a readjustmant of the scale, but
he was unable to give them any direct
answer and they refused to begin op-
erations The other employees, learn
ing of the action, also quit work. The
demands made were fov 1926 per yard

great treat. The main feature of the
meeting will be a pro-Boer demon-
stration, i'm which different members
Of the society will be called upon to
make speeches on this interesting
tonic. As no one knows who will be
called upon to speak, every member

the subject UP and come to the meet
ing prepared to discuss the topic. Be
sides the discussion of the Boer ques-
tion the following numbers are added
to the programme. Selection, Glec

The Sigma Alpha will hold meeting
at the close of the session today, AZ
| which meeting Mr.. Kinsley will deliver
an address on "Iron." As the ability
of Mr.. Kingsley is well known. and as
his subject is one that has in a certain
sense, been under discussion for some

the evidence of good training and prac-
tice, a thing which Tropp has not done

out very clearly, that Rhys Powell.
| who set the pace for Tropp, has the
qualities which make a frst-class
sprnter If these qualities, which Mr..
| Powell beyond a doubt possesses, were
| brought out by training, the result of
the foot races at Wyoming seminary
might be greatly in favor of the Scran-
