Mrs. Al. Wetzel, 81 South 18th street,
Terre Haute, Ind, writes:
"Peruna is the greatest medicine on
earth. | feel well and that tired feel
ing is all gone. When began to take
your medicine 1 could not smell nor
hear church bell ring. Now can
smell and hear. When / began your
treatment my head was terrible, all
sorts of buzzing, chirping and loud
noises. Three months ago l dragged
around like a snail; now l can walk
as brishy as ever. | am going to go
and see the doctor that said / was not
long for this world, and tell him that
Peruna cured me" Mrs. Al. Wetzel.
If all the tired women and all the
nervous women, and all the women
that needed a tonic would read and
heed the words of these three fair la
dies who have spoken right to the
point, how many invalids would be
prevented and how many wretched
lives be made happy.
Peruna restores health in a normal
way.
Peruna puts right all the mucous
membranes of the body, and in this
way restores the functions of every
organ.
If it is the stomach that is out of or
der, and the digestion impaired, Pc
runa quickly makes things right by re-
storing the mucous membrane of the
stomach.
If the nerves tingle, if the brain is
tired, if the strength is tagging and
the circulation of blood weakened by
fabby mucous membranes of the di-
gestive organs, Peruna reaches the
spot at once by giving to these mem
branes the vitality and activity which
belongs to them.
The pelvic organs are also lined with
mucous membrane which in the female
sex is especially liable to derange-
ments. Peruna is an absolute specific
in these cases. The women everywhere
are praising it. No other remedy has
ever received such unqualified praise
from such a multitude of women.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pc
runa, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

BULLET WOUND
PROVED FATAL
HARRY FREDERICK DIED YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.
Young Man Who Was Shot in Dis
orderly House on Providence Road,
Last Thursday Morning, Sue
cumbed to Peritonitis at the Scran-
ton Private Hospital-His Murder
Ell Is an Unknown italian and the
Police Have Very Little Hope of
Apprehending Him.

Harry Frederick, who was shot in a
disorderly house on Providence road by
an unknown Italian early last Thurs
day morning, died yesterday afternoon
at o'clock at the Scranton Private
hospital.
The bullet entered Frederick's groin
and passed almost completely through
his body, piercing the intestines and
the liver. Peritonitis set in on Satur-
day and the physicians were unable to
save the injured mans life
Coroner Roberts performed an au-
topsy last night and decided to hold an
inquest but has not fixed the date. The
remains of the dead man We're later re-
moved to his home on Blair avenue.
The police have no clue to the iden-
tity of the man who did the shooting.
and the chances of his ever being ap-
pretended are considered to be very
slight.
Frederick was in a disorderly resort
kept by Mrs. Alice Williams. early last
Thursday morning, when two Italians
sought entrance at the front door. One
of the inmates of the house opened the
door little. but when she saw who
had knocked she refused admittance to
the two men.
The latter pushed i'm the door and
were brushing past the woman when
Frederick came out from another room
ut the rear of the hall and threw a beer
bottle, which struck one of the Italians.
The stricken man drew revolver and
fired three shots. the last of which en-
tered Fredericks body. They then ran
out of the house and down the street.

DMYER THE VICTOR.
Secured Two Straight Falls from
Gideon Perry, at the Scranton BIZ
cycle Club, Saturday Night.

| Prof NJ. j. Dwyer once more demon
strated his skill as Il wrestler, Satur-
| day night. by throwing Gideon Perry,
the Canadian wrestler, twice in success
sion at the Scranton Bicycle club. in
the presence of over 200 persons.
| The two men stepped on the mat
shortly after 10 o'clock, and when they
| had thrown aside their dressing robes
appeared to the casual observer to be
very unevenly matched. Perry who
stands feet > inches tall. weighed in
at 1870 pounds. while Dwyer. who is six
| inches shorter. weighed about 100. Those
who had seen Dwyer wrestle here last
winter and who knew of the strength
resting in his nhenomenaly broad
shoulders and well-develoced biceps,
realized that Perry had Il pretty big
job on his hands.
Perry was the aggressor at the start
and kept Dwyer ON the defensive for
upwards of fifteen minutes. Try as hard
as he could, however, he could not Sc
| cure fall. Dryers remarkable quick
ness enabled him to wriggle out of
many Il dangerous hold and when he
got his second wind he started in on
the offensive himself.
Dwyer finally got Perry on his side
and secured Il hnlf-nelson. He twisted
his right leg around the big mans and
began to force him over on his back
Perry apparently realized that the
game was up. but he died hard. The
muscles on Dryers back stood out like
knotted cords as he slowly, but surely,
forced Perry inch by inch over on his
back. 1t took him about four minutes
to do 50. and when the fall had been
secured he was loudly applauded. The
time of the fall was 81 minutes, l6 sec
onds.
After a ten minutes inteimission the
two men Went at ii again. and this time
DWyer was the aggreSsOr all through
He sailed in from the start and never
gave Perry Il moments rest. The latter
was game, however, and within ten
minutes had worked himself out of
three holds in an almost miraculous
manner. Dwyer finally secured another
half-nelson and bore the big man down
Il second time.
The match was for a side bet of $l00
and 10 per cent. of the gate receipts.
The other % per cent. of the gate re-
ceipts went to the loser. Hugh keenan,
acted as referee. while Smith German
and Frank Beavers We're the time
keepers.

LIEDERKRANZ CHRISTMAS
Exercises for Little Ones Held
Yesterday.-They We're Present
with Gifts of Various Kinds.

There is no society in these parts
that has more enjoyable, wholesome
| time than the Scranton 1.iederkranz
and on no occasion does it's members
have more enjoyment than they do ut
their annual Christmas festival which.
| this year. was celebrated yesterday.
The Liederkranz Is one, big happy
family. Grandfather. grandmother,
father. mother, son and daughter all
belong to 1t. They have their singing
| festivals. banquets. dances. theatricals
| and various other like forms of amuse-
ments. Once Il year the children. who
| are yet too young to participate in the
amusements of the grown-up folks. are
given q day all for themselves. The
society's hall is turned over to their
entertainment and all the members of
the society turn in to help entertain
them.
Yesterday the festivities began ut .
o'clock and continued until 10 o'clock
at night. The little ones and the COM
mittee of arrangements had the floor.
The older folks looked in from the gal
lery or the seats about the eide of the
hall. When the children were all as
sembled they were formed in twos and
mittee who gave each of them four
numbered tickets, distributed indis-
criminately. They were marshaled in
front of the stage and after IL sufficient
wait to properly whet their anxiety the
curtain was quickly raised.
What the rise of the curtain dis
closed evoked a charm of joyous en-
clamations that in itself repaid Il hum
IL u 4 ii.
the committee.
In the centre of the stage was a huge
Christmas tree gorgeously bedecked
with bright ornaments and illuminated
with Il myriod of candles and vari-col-
ored incandescent bulbs. TO the right
and left and in the rear were erected
fancy stands piled high with dolls and
other toys of every description. The
rest of the stage was piled high with
express wagons, doll carriages. writing
desks. baby chairs, blacll-boards and
the bulkier kind of playthngs. Fruit,
candy nuts and cakes We're stacked in
the wings.
An hour and Il half was occupied in
distributing the presents. Every child
had his or her arms full when the dis
tributiOn was at an end. For two hours
tne tnllufen Played ABOUT WneellnS the
wagons, pushing the carriages, keeping
house. beating drums. blowing horns
and all the time munching the good
things.
Then the older folks were given some
entertainment. The singing section ren-
dered a number of selections, various
of the vocal and instrumental music
ians gave solos. Bauer's orchestra con-
tributed numbers and at o'clock all
sat down to II bountiful supper.
After this there was more music and
appropriate social diversions and at 10
o'clock when the festival ended, there
was IL question as to who had enjoyed
it the more, the entertainers or the
entertained.
The committee in charge of the affair
consisted of Joseph w. Keller Theo.
dore Hemberger. j. Alt j. d. Ferbet.
Robert Schubert and Nathan Jacob.
Prof. Hemberger, Louis j. Siebecker,
Fred j. Widmayer and Miss Violet

who contributed to the enjoyment.

Recorder Connell was introduced by
| Director WOrmser and he hadn't said
| more than two dozen words before
| everybody in the room realized that he
was Intensely in earnest and that he
meant every word he said. He spoke
as follows:
about four or five months ago at
the request of Director Wormser,
spoke to you men and told you that
proposed to hold every officer on the
force individually responsible for the
conditions of his beat. | told YOU how
| ever. that If IL patrolman reported any
wrong condition to his superior officer
and that if that officer took no cOgni-
zance of it the patrolman's respon-
sibility ceased

seriously and that | made you believe
what | said. Yet what do | find now >
! find here on my desk the records of
twenty-Seven of the members of this
police force who have been derelict in
their duty. | find charges against
many of them sufficiently serious to
warrant their instant dismissal from
the force.
'What are the conditions confronting
us today rs the result of neglect of
duty on the part of the members of this
police force?
DON'T DO THEIR DUTY.
"Drunken brawlers hold full sway on
the streets of our city within Il hum
dred feet of police officers who are so
indifferent, so lazy. or so careless of
their oaths of office that they allow
these law breakers to continue their
disorderly reign; street cars are as
sailed and citizens lives endangered
and when Il citizen goes to a policeman
and points out the man who threw the
stone, the guardian of the peace smiles
and walks away.
"Incipient riots are of frequent occur
renee and the police force is apparent
ly unable to quell them. Lewd women
travel our streets more frequently than
when | took the Office OF recorder.
Gambling houses are running with the
full knowledge of the officer on the

IN Il certain precinct in this city
there exists one OF the most dannable
institutions in this country. The eXis-
tence of this place is, believe. known
to the officer on the beat and to his
superior officer and the eyes of the
administration are ON these two men.
The recorder was very much hlmilat-
ed when Il prisoner called his attention
to this place and charged him with be-
ing responsible for it's existence. A
pretty thing, men, that the police Off

place and that their negligence of duty

charity of the people of this city:
My duties take me about very mucf
among the people not only in the i'm.

wherever l have an opportunity! and
have felt devoutly thankful to Al.

proofs which ! have witnessed of the
Christian charity of the people OF
Scranton.
Il have gone into homes of chronic
poverty and have learned with delight
that some quiet, unobtruSiVe person

the necessities of the INDECENT.
II have gone into the homes upon
which sudden calamity has settled down

they spoke of the gentle, beneficent
conduct of some good Christian person.

IF THEY DON'T THERE WILL BE

That Complaints Have Been

Recorder w. l.. Connell administered
to the members of the police force on

received. He served an ultimatum
upon them that if conditions are not
improved on or before January IL he
will undertake to improve them him
self by removing every member of the
force. If necessary.
The recorder charged twenty-seven
of the forty-four members of the force
with being derelict in their duty and
seriously accused one of the police
