Ell Dorado Murder Suspect
Unde. Arrest Here


Young. He has no gold tooth, but the
police say that the description of Mat
thews in that respect may have been
an error. However Chief Calpepper is
not of the belief that they have the
right man. Young came here from FL
Dorado, where he worked under the
murdered section foreman.
This together with his given name
being the same as the murderer, and
his agreement with the latter's de-
scription was sufficient cause to war
rant his arrest.
On being searched pistol was
found on him, and for carrying that
weapon he will at least have to an
swer in the city, whether or not the
police are successful in duplicating
him with the Eldorado murder.

Poisoned The Family.

The family OF Henry f. Babrick, a
well-known Scranton merchant, had a
narrow escape from death from
mysterious poison, and his two little
sons are yet in a serious condition, one
of whom may not recover. The poison
ing is believed to have been absorbed
at supper through eating cucnmbers, the
vinegar used on which is thought to
have received drppings from broken
saucer in which a poisonous fly paper
preparation had been placed on a
pantry shelf.
Whatever the poison, it affects the
base of the brain and spinal column,
with a high temperature. The physi-
clans in attendance are puzzled and will
make an analysis of the fly poison.
The family believe that the poisoning
is due to ptomaine caused by the damp
cellar where the refrigerator in which
the food was kept was placed.

Schuyler Chased Burglars.

Up at Clark Summit, Lackawanna
county, a gang of burglars were given a
chase Saturday morning by Schuyler c.
Koons, former Freeland young man
who has been in business in that town
for the past ten years. The burglars
robbed the postoffce, Sears grist mill,
Schilling's blacksmith shop, Barnum's
meat market and Joseph Madson's resi-
dence.
The postof1ice was the last place
entered Here the safe was blown by
nitro ycerine, the explosion throwing
Schuyler, who lived nearby, out of his
bed. He gave an alarm and chased the
burglars toward Scranton. They took
to the woods when they saw they were
pursued and have not been apprehended.
In the postof1ice a dollars worth of
stamps and two boxes of stamped en-
velopes' were found in the safe and
carried off. The only place where the
burglars secured money was at Barnum's
butcher shop, where few dollars in
change were taken.

THRILLING WITHYOUR HEALTH
Is Like Playing With a Load
ed Gun-If You Have Kid
ney Trouble Attend
to 1t at Once.

1t is easy to tell whether your kidneys
or glass tumber and fill it with urine.
If there is a sediment-a powder-like
snbstance-after standing a day and
night, If it is pale or discolored ropy or
Etfingy, there is something wrong with
the kidneys. Other sure signs of disease
are desire to urinate often, pain in the
back, or il your urine stains linen.
There is no question that DR.. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best
and surest medicine in the world for dis
ease of the Kidneys, Liver, Bladder and
Blood, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, Chronic
Constipation, and the sicknesses peculiar
to women. 1t quickly relieves and cures
inability to hold urine and the necessity
of getting up number of times during
the night, and puts an end to the scad-
ing pain when passing urine.
