The full bench yesterday heard ar
guments on the test case brought by
Martin Flynn 10 discover whether OF
not the liquor dealers OF Scranton
must payS55O or s1,1O0 for their licenses
this year. The first figure is that pro-
vided by the third-class city act. and
the last the one provided by the Sec
ond-class city law.
Mr.. Flynn is suing for a nandamus
to compel County Treasurer Scranton
TO issue him a license for $3.50. At yes
terday's argument he was represented
by Attorneys Ira II. Burns. Joseph
O'Brien and NJ. J. Martin, while At
torney $. B. Price appeared for the
treasurer.
Mr.. Burns. in Offering the main ar
gunent for the plaintiff. based his re-
marks almost entirely upon an opin-
ion handed down in the case of the
Commonwealth VS.. McGrariarty by
Judge G.. II. Rice. of the Superior court,
when that jurist was president judge
OF the Luzerne county courts. At that
time the borough OF Iazleton was re-
organizing as a. city of the third class.
and a case was brought to determine
whether the saloonkeepers should pay
for borough or a thrd-class city
license.
The borough was organized as city
on April 4, and Judge Rice decided that
the charge should be made for only a
borough license. Mr. Burns contended
that a similar condition of affairs eX-
listed in this city. Scranton Is now q
city OF the third class, he said. and will
not be a city of the second class until
10 o'clock on the morning of Monday,
April /. The licenses become effective
on March 81, he said, and must there
fore be third-class city licenses. Four
days elapsed in the Hazleton case,
while ten hours would elapse in this
city. The same principle would apply,
however.
Attorney Price. in reply, denied that
Scranton is now city of the third
class. 1t is city of the second class,
he said, and has been ever since the
governors proclamation was received.
Therefore when the licenses become
effective they will be second class city
licenses and nothing else. Granting. he
said, that Scranton would not become
a secondclass city until Monday, April
/. at 10 o'clock, and that the licenses
go into effect ten hours before, the
common law principle is that in such
a case nothing less than n day can be
counted. Mr.. O'Brien took issue with
| Mr.. Price on this point, and said that
modern conditions had changed that
| principle.
A decision will be handed down very
soon. The three judges consulted or
| the case Immediately after adjourn
| ment.

EVILS OF ANTIPYRINE.
1t Depresses the Heart and Causes
Derangement Of the Kidneys.

The use OF antipyrine for the relief
and cure of headache is practice that
cannot be too severely condemned. 1t
has depressing effect upon the heart,
while the continued use causes a de-
rangement Of the kidneys. Krauses
Headache Capsules contain no anti
pyrine, chloral, morphine, caffeine or
any other injurious ingredient, and can
be taken with safety by the most deli
cate woman or child. They are a
purely vegetable preparation. prepared
in soft, soluble gelatine capsules, which
are easily dissolved by the warmth and
fluids Of the stomach. Theycu quickly
and leave no bad after effects. They
are so pleasant to take, so beneficial
in action that no one would be with
out them after having once given them
a trial, Every box of Krause's Head
ache Capsules is sold on,a guarantee

COMMITTEES WORK
Has Very Hard Proposition Now
Confronting It,

The members OF the estimates COM
mittee. which has not vet met on ac-
count of delay in the printing of the
estimates. realize that they've got to
do some of the finest pairing that an
estimate committee has ever been call
ed upon TO do in the history of the
city.
The increase in the salary list by
the creation of additional offices under
the second class city, the large num-
ber Of additional electric lights to be
provided for the necessity of taking
care of almost $4,000 worth of claims
referred to the committee by councils
ana the $1,000 increase in the water
rate, all confront the committee.
These are all fixed charges and must
be provided FOR.
Nearly every department in the city
wants an increase i'm nearly every item
of expense and yet the revenues Of
the city at the best cannot exceed by
more than a fcw thousand dollars the
revenues of last year.

AFTER EFFECT or GRIP.
Are often More Serious Than the
Grip Itself.

Physicians and grip sufferers alike
are agreed that the after effects of
the disease are more to be feared than
the acute attack; you can never be
sure that the disease has left the sys-
tenn completely.
LaGrippe naturally attacks the weak
est organ and leaves 1t still weaker.
Not only pneumonia. consumption,
bronchitis and throat trouble follow
the grip. but kidney, liver and stomach
are troubles just as liable TO result,
provided any of these organs should
happen to be in weak condition at
the time of attack.
To get rid of the grip germ. to get
IL entirely out of the system and blood,
few remedies are so good and none
safer that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
they are not compound of powerful
and dangerous drugs, but a pleasant,
palatable, convenient remedy in tablet
form. composed of the wholesome anti
septic principles OF Eucalyptus bark,
blood root and similar germicide reme-
dies which are perfectly wholesome
and harmless to the system, but death
to the germs of grip, catarrh. Consump-
ton and diseases of the throat and
air passages.
Mrs. Charles Gormley. OF Memphis,
says: Last winter an attack OF the
grip left me with weak back. a per-
sistenL cough and loss of flesh and
appetite and after using various rene"
dies for several months with little or
no improvement | finally bought a 90
cent package OF Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's at my drug store. and aS they
were pleasant and convenient to take
| used them at all times OF day ol
night and | was astonished 90 secure
such fine results from so pleasant and
convenient a medicine. In two weeks
my cough disappeared. my appetite re.
turned. | improved in hash and color
and no ore would now think that
ever had such thing as the grip.
MY druggist told me he sold NOR,
of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, for tn,
cure of grip. colds and catarrh, thar
any other similar medicine"
