People recovering from the effects Of
typhoid fever, malarlal fever, bilious
fever and other affections of the au-

to the case.
Any one who takes Peruna is sure to
have good appetite and digestion.
After all. it is food and digestion that
build up any one. No one can gain
strength that is good for anything on
medicine alone. All that medicine can
be made to do Is to assist in the proper
assimilation of nourishing food.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.
Thousands of people testify to it's mer-

A Tribune man was in the house
last evening when taps were sounded,
and his attention was called to the
condition of the main floor while the
fou. horses were standing thereon.
With their combined weight and that

one of the members had his leg frac-
tured few days ago when he slid
down the pole and had his foot caught

The floor is decidedly unsafe and

over the floor from the stalls and the

to the cavings in that vicinity, and

Jake" Stahlaber. erstwhile boot
black, fisheran and hunter, a we'll
known character of South Scranton, is,
tiguratively speaking. "up against it,"
Some time ago, while crossing the
Meadows. near Moltke avenue, he
claims he was held up and robbed of
SO. But that adventure is thrown in
the shade by the one that happened
him yesterday. and 1t will be his chief
topic of discussion for many moons to
come. li
On Monday morning, Jake, with his
usual alertness. wandered aimlessly
into w. r. Foleys saloon on Cedar
avenue, with the intention of doing
some odd jobs and probably picking up
quarter. He picked up considerably
more, 1t Is alleged when he saw lying
on the floor p. j. Maun's pocketbook.
.Maun is Foley's bartender, and his
pocketbook had fallen out of his coat
pocket.
Jake didn't wait to get paid as was
his usual custom, so the story goes,
and said he had business over town.
Sometime after. Maun, upon looking
for his purse, found that it was gone,
and knew Immediately why Jake had
business over town. But what of Jake
during this period? Well. Jake was
having q gloriously good time, as the
pocketbook contained s22. He felt like
coal baron, and spent money like a
prince. Fight o'clock saw him on Elm
street in a rather topsy-turvy condi-
tion.
Officer Gschedle took the erstwhile
fisherman, bootblack, etc, in charge,
and he spent Tuesday night in the AL
der street police station. Upon exam
ination yesterday morning he had but
$1.35 left of the $22, which it is claimed
he took. Alderman Donovan tried the
case, and Jake is now languishing in
the county Jail and wishing he was
fishing at Mountain lake.

|HandkerChiefS


There's more real art work on
the fashionable Handherchiefs
this season than we have ever
known. The cheap, paltry styles
of other days have passed away,
and today the woman of fashion
seeks a Handkerchief that has
both quality and correct style
stamped on it's face in unmistals-
able characters.
$40 is a neat sum to pay for
q Handkerchief, and we've got
some beauties at that figure, but
if you don't want to pay as much
as that we may suit your taste
at $1.25, OF there's dozen prices

each case the edge of the Hand
