special TO the scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, June 6.-The three
members of Il household at Red Rock
are the aged proprietor, his housekeep-
er and the family cat. Prayers are the
rule each evening and the cat fell into
the habit of regular and punctual at
tendance. No other cares that pro-
verbally crowd Il cats life We're ever
allowed to interfere with this religious
duty. At the signal for prayers the
cat would even leave q mouse half
caught, or give doomed bird longer
lease of, life, and decorously compose
herself in the lap of the housekeeper,
with an air of attention to the service
that was highly edifying. AT the final
"amen," she went brsKly about her
business.
But in an evil day there came a kit
ten that was deemed superlluous, and
the sentence of death was pronounced
upon 1t. The head of the family un-
dertook the execution of the sentence,
and, unknown to him, the old cat was
witness OF the scene.
From that day the cat refused to at
tend the prayer service, and cannot
he induced to listen to the prayers of
one who had so shocked her sensibilI-
ties, She faithfully performs all other
duties as before, and socially purrs/for
the family on all secular occasions,
but rigidly draws the line at family
prayers.

ADMIRAL SEES PRESIDENT.
Taylor and Clark Take Lunch With
Mr.. Roosevelt.

Washington, January 11.-Admiral
Taylor, who is to succeed Admiral
Crowninshield as chief of the bureau
of navigation, and Captain Clark, who
commanded the battleship Oregon dur
ing the Spanish war, had long con-
ference with President Roosevelt to-
day and afterward lunched with him.
The conference took place in the
Cabinet room, and during its progress
the President denied himself to other
callers. Subsequently the two naval
officers, who, it was learned, had been
sent for by the President, declined to
make public the subject of consulta-
ton, which it was believed had a
bearing upon the Schley case.

The above map has been carefully
compiled from United States documents
by The Pe-ru-na Medicine Com
pany, of Columbus, Ohio. The fig
ures were taken from the latest mortal
statistics published by the government
and entirely agree with the archives
kept at The Hartman Sanitarium.
The map Is made in four shades. The
lightest shade shows the States which
have the lowest per cent. OF deaths due
to catarrhal diseases. In these States
very close to ~ per cent. of all deaths in
1890 were due to catarrhal diseases.
That is to say, four out of every ten
deaths were from catarrhal affections.
In the States of next darker shade the
per cent. varies from AZ to 45. In the
next darker shade, 45 to 4S per cent. of
the whole number of deaths resulted
from catarrhal diseases. In the darkest
shade we have indicated the States in
which over so per cent, or one-half or
more, of all the deaths were directly
traceable to catarrh as the cause.
This Is an appalling state of affairs.
This nation has got to confront the
fact that cafarrEi has become a national
curse. Catarrhal diseases threaten the
life of our people. Over one-haf of
the people suffer from some form or
degree ofcatarrh. Fully fhirfy-five mil

PAYING POLL TAX
IN DALLAS COUNTY
Not Over 5000 White Voters in
the County
HALF ARE OVER As YEARS
Military Companies on Boom, as
Members Do Not Have
to Pay Street or
poll Tax.

Selma. January Observation-Disclosures
are being made in Dallas county TO get
every Democrat liable to poll tax to pay
the same and at once and while the
result is not entirely satisfactory yet
many are walking up to the tax collector
and paying their s1.5O that would other
wise do so.
Less than four hundred whites have
paid their poll tax up to this time but
nearly two hundred have paid in the last
three days. The tax collector himself is
doing valiant work in this direction by
going to the people instead of waiting for
them to come to him and in this way the
proportionately large number has been
paid in the last few days.
There are at the outside about 5000
white voters In Dallas county. OF this
number at least half are under the age
of As. Deduct from this 1900 persons, those
who are exempt by reason of belonging
to the volunteer fire department of Sell
ma and the three military companies and
1t will leave not over a thousand white
persons In Dallas county who are liable
for poll tax.
To show the proportion of those liable
for poll tax to the total number of white
voters in country precinct Summerfield
is given as an example. There are 46
white voters in Summerfield. OF this
number but twelve are liable for poll tax.
Half OF these have already paid and the
remainder will pay in few days.
While there Is still much apparent
apathy In the matter yet 1t is safe to say
that fully three-fourths of those liable
for the tax will pay it and that Dallas
white vote will not be lessened to any
great extent by this provision of the con-
stitution.
A Bad Community.
Word reached the city yesterday of the
condition of q neighborhood across the
river where the negroes are terrorized,
and the most of them are leaving for
other parts of the county. A few nights
ago Green Hardy who lives on Miles
Hardy's place, was awakened by a fusi-
lade of shots outside his window, and the
bullets from a number of pistols and
rifles went whzzing through his cabin.
The negro had been warned to leave that
section and not going he was treated to
a sham battle from an unknown crowd of
men. There has been much feeling aroused
over the affair, and trouble is looked for
any time, as such proceedings are fright

Military Flourishlng.
The Selma military companies are on
boom. The street tax and poll tax ex-
emptions which the commanding officers
have notified the members will not be al
lowed unless they attend drill. is having
the effect of making the meetings and
drills largely attended Thursday night
last the Dallas Dragons had forty-two
men in line when the orderly sergeant
called the roll, and last night the Selma
Guards had thirty men in line, with no
particular effort having been made to get

ternal remedy in tablet form; druggists
everywhere admit that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets which they sell at so cents for
full sized treatment is the safest, most
effective and popular of all catarrh rem
edies.
Nearly all cheap cough mixtures and
throat lozenges contain opiates; these
cheap medicines give a temporary relief,
especially with little children, by destroy
ing nerve sensation: the irritation in
throat, which causes coughing is tenn
porarily removed. not by removing the
cause but by deadening the nerves of
feeling the irritation is not felt. although
1t is still there and will promptly re-
turn.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is the best
remedy to remove catarrhal secretion,
whether lin the nose, throat or stomach.
because they are composed of wholesome
antiseptics like Red Gum. Blood Root,
etc.. when you use these tablets you
know what you are putting into your
system and not taking chances with
cocaine, opiates or similar poisons found
in so many catarrh cures and cough
me dicines.
DIR. Ramsdell In commenting on catarrh
cures says: IT can heartily recommend
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because they
contain no cocaine nor other dangerous
drug found in so many advertised ca
tarrh cures. l have known of many cases
of long standing catarrh of the head and
throat completely cured by the daily use
of these tablets for several weeks. One
case in particular, which l could not
reach with an inhaler or spray and where
the cararrh caused daily headaches and
noticeable loss of hearing was entirely
cured by this harmless but effective rem
edy."
DIR. Wainwright says: 1T never hesitate
to prescribe Stuart's Catarrh Tablets for
catarrhal headaches and catarrhal deaf

many remarkable cures resulting from
