Washington's Birthday.

The anniversary Of the day OF
the birth of George Washington,
February 22d, was celebrated by
the public schools in a becoming
manner, the School Commissioners
enjoining the observance of the day
by exercises by the pupils to i'm
press the historical events of the
nation on their young minds in the
most impressive manner.
The day was observed by Rising
Sun public school, Eugene A.
Reynolds, principal, and Miss
Minnie Brickley, assistant, in a
very pretty manner. Recitations,
reading appropriate historical in
cideuts, singing the Star Spangled
Banner, marching with flags, etc.,
constituted a very pretty and APP,
propriate program for the occasion.
A few lady spectators honored
the day and encouraged the school
by their presence, but none of the
parents or trustees of the school
were present, which is not doing
their whole duty-in fact no part
OF ito the school. They should
always be present on such occasions
and frequently at other times.
Such visits would encourage the
children and place the teachers
Con their mettle" to do their best
by the tender charges under their
care.

A Fight on for Susquehanna Water
Power.

The Susquehanna Electric Power
Company was chartered by the
Maryland legislature to use the
water power of the river for gen
Grating electricity. Another com
pany appeared last week before the
Corporations Committee of the leg
islature asking for a charter for a
similar purpose. The contesting
parties were to have another meet.
ing this week.
Mr.. John Bogart, of New York
city, consulting engineer of the
Niagara Fails Power Company,
pronounces the Susqpehanna among
the greatest water powers in the
country for the purpose of deyel-
oping electricity. He further says:
''The proximity of this power tc
the great centers of population to
which electricity can be easily
transported and the remarkable
advantages for the transportation
Of material to and from the location
of the power combine to warrant
the promise that the development
Of this power will result in one O.
the most important enterprises ever
attempted.

ing and after a good deal of drum
ming up a majority of the stock
was announced present by the sec
rotary. The old board of directors
was elected and after discussing the

directors make the best disposition
OF the property possible, so as to
wipe out the debt of $500 resting
on it.

anything like their value, will pay

property and leave che building
clear.
There is some prospect of the
company being able to have a con-
densed milk factory established in
the building, there being 5000 cows
it is estimated within radius of
five miles. The parties claim they
can gather milk within q radius of
ten miles, which at the same ratio
would contain 10000 cows. The
location is we'll situated for fac.
tory of the latter kind, there being
an abundant supply of water and

wanted to join the Chicago team, but
Tom Foley, who was then its manager,
would not take him, explaining to Arson
afterwards that 1t was because he wanted
players of reputa ton instead Of deveI-
oping finds just at that time. Then
came the Chicago fire. Foley and his club
were broken up. and Arson went to the

A GOOD COMPLEXION
Depends on Good Digestion.


This is almost an axiom. although usu-
ely we a:e apt to think that cosmetics,
face powders, lotions. fancy soaps, etc.
are the secrets for securing a clear COM
pleXion. But all these are simply super
fetal assistants.
1t is impossible to have a good COM
plexion unless the digestive organs per-
form their work properly, unless the stom-
ach by properly d!gcsting the food taken
into It furnishes an abundance of pure
blood. a good complexion Is impossible.
This is the reason so many ladies are
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, be-
cause they promptly cure any stomach
trouble and they have found out that
perfect digestion means a perfect com
pleXion and one that does not require cos
metics and powders to enhance It's beau
ty.
Many ladies diet themselves or deny
themselves many articles of food solely
in order to keep their complexion clear
When Stuart's Dyspepsia tablets are used
no such dieting IS necessary take these
tablets and eat all the good wholesome
food you want and you need have no fear
of indigestion nor the salIow, dull COM
plexion which nine women out of ten
have, solely because they are suffering
from some form of Indigestion.
Bear In mind that beauty proceeds
from good health, good health results
from perfect digestion and we have ad
vanced the best argument to induce ev-
cry man and woman to give this splen-
did remedy a trial.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can be found
in drug stores and costs but so cents per
package.
If there is any arrangement of the
stomach or bowels they will remove It
and the resultant effects are. good diges-
tom, good health and clear, bright
complexion.
