WrefCbed Hof Weather
Sufferers.
Paine IS Celery
Compound
SHOULD Be USED IN JULY
AND AUGUST.

The extraordinary variable spring and
early summer weather of the present
year has been the cause of vast
amount of sickness in every part of our
country. Strong men and women have
been victims; the weak, rundown and
sickly have suffered intensely, and
many families now mourn the loss of
near and dear ones.
The nervous, weak, rundown and de-
biltated should now devote their best
energies and attention to health-build-
ing. so as to enable them to withstand
the enervating effects of the approach
ing hot weather.
The use of Paines Celery Compound
will soon bring a return of true physi-
cal strength; the nerves will be fed and
braced: the blood will be made purer
and richer; digestion will be corrected,
and sweet, refreshing sleep will take
the place of insomnia and irritability.
Paine's Celery Compound is doing a
marvellous work for the sick and suf-
fering at this time. 1t Is the only prep
aration that possesses value and virtue
for recruiting the strength and spent
energies of weakly and sick people in
summer time. The trial of one bottle
will give you happy results.

A. j. Kellerman, Of Scranton, was
the only one of the first twenty leaders
in The Tribune's Educational Contest
to add to his score yesterday, and he
had only one point. Had he returned
two he would have been tied with
Oscar kipp, of Elmhurst, for second
place.
Hendrick Adams, of Chinchilla, added
six points and took twentieth plaee
away from Walter Hallstead, of Scran-
ton. With another six points MIR.
Adams would have gone up beyond six
more contestants.
John Mackie, of Providence, added
to his score, but retained the place he
has held for some days.
Henry Collins, of Keyser is the
latest aspirant for an advanced edu-
cation to begin. He started yesterday
with four points and is in fortieth place
this morning. Only few more points
will give him a position in the table
that is published daily of the standing
of the first thirty-three contestants.
A contestant starting now will have
over three months and half in which
to work. In that time he should sue
ceed in making his way well up to-
ward the top of the list, If he is really
sincere in his ambition to work for his
own advancement. Some of those who
have entered have seemed to fail to
keep that aim in view and got dis
couraged easily. Conan Doyle tells
story of a man who was repining be-
cause he was unfortunate. A listener
stood 1t as long as he could and then
spoke out: 81 was lying in bed one
night when fortune knocked on my
door and whispered to me very low,
but l heard her, and opened the door
and she gave me chance, and l am
well off now. But. bedad, she would
have to break down your door with a
sledge-hammer and drag you out of
bed by the hair of your head, before
you would stop snoring"
Perhaps that is the case with some
of those who have failed to grasp the
great opportunities offered them in
The Tribunes Educational Contest. 1t
is not too late to begin now. A postal
addressed to Contest Editor" Tri-
bune, Scranton, Pa, will be followed
by full information. Better write for
postal at once.

ten contestants who have scored the
largest number of points since July l.

WILL PAVE THE STREETS. =.
Garfield Avenue and Swetland Street
to Receive Needed Repairs.

1--WE are going to give the people of
West Scranton pleasant surprise, this
week, by making some much needed
repairs, on Swetland street and Gar
field avenue" remarked Director of
Public Works John Il. Roche, to a
Tribune man, yesterday afternoon.
The block on SHETLAND street be-
tween Rebecca avenue and Garfield
avenue will be paved with pressed
stone, and the same repairs will take
place on Garfield avenue, from SWEET
land street to the foot of the hill.
Director Roche says that this is the
first genuine piece of macadam put in
the city, and is especially pleased over
the fact that the work cost the city
comparatively little. Why he said,
lit would cost us S1.00 load to cart
dirt over for the job, and this pressed
stone is only going to cost us s1,20."
Work will be started early this week.

new WATER COMPANY,
Preparing to Supply Scranton from
a Reservoir on Top of Camp
BELLS Ledge.

Next Monday the newly formed Sus-
quehanna Water company will meet in
this city, to effect permanent organiza-
tion and pass upon plans for proceed
ing with the construction work.
This is the company which proposes
to bring water to this city from the
Susquehanna, by tapping the river at
Ransom, pumping water to an immense
reservoir on the top of Campbell's
ledge, and piping it along the side of
the West Mountain by an easy grade to
Scranton.
The company is composed of S. Nj.
Nash, j. r. Boyer and N. M. Eicke, of
this city; M. Echholzer and A. Surber,
of .Pittston The company's attorney
is Hon. NJ. r. Sando.
A nominal capitalization of $4,000 is
all that has been subscribed. but event.
ually this will be increased to half
million. The additional capital has
been subscribed, it is claimed, and
everything is in readiness to proceed
with the installation of the plant.
Engineers agree that the company's
scheme is perfectly feasible and not ex-
pensive. There is no end to the supply
afforded by the river, the cost of
natural conditions on top Of the noun
tain near the ledge permit of the con-
struction of an immense reservoir at
very moderate cost
The company will devote itself chiefly
to furnishing water for industrial pur-
poses. 1t can give a rate, it claims,
which will make for it customer of
every manufacturer in the city.
The plan was first conceived by the
engineers Of the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel company when it had it's fight on
with the Scranton Gas and Water COM
pany, a decade ago. The steel company
cast about in every direction for a
means of securing an independent wa
ter supply and surveyed two routes for
piping water from the Susquehanna,
one Of which is that adopted by the
new company.
1t is said the new company has sue
ceeded in interesting in it's scheme capi-
talists who are not only able to finance
the company but to fight to a finish any
opponent who may be likely to attempt
to hinder the scheme.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS MONDAY.
Will Probably Consider Adoption of
Years Text Books.

Next Mondays meeting of the school
board promises to be an interesting ses-
sion, as a large amount of important
business Is scheduled to come up before
the members of the board. 1t is ex-
pected that the text book committee
will make definite report regarding
the matter OF text books for the ensu-
ing school year, either recommending
the readoption of the present books in
use, or awarding the contracts to some
of the other companies, which have
made strenuous efforts recently to Sc
cure the orders.
The school board law provides that
the committee must first confer with a
committee of public school teachers on

done. 1t is likely that the committee
will also meet with Superintendent of
Schools George w, Phillips, before max
ing the report AS yet, nothing Is def
nitely known as to the committees in
tentions in the matter.

WON'T GET HIS PAY.
Auditing Committee Ignore the Or
dinance Officer's Bills.

The auditing committee of councils,
last night, concurred in the action of
City Controller Costello in refusing to
approve of the item for salary for the
ordinance officer, engaged two months
ago to work in the department of law.
j. b. Gillespie was hired to fill this
position at salary of $50 a month and
the expense was charged to the general
streets account. The city controller re-
fused to countersign the warrant for
this item on the ground that there was
no such office created by ordinance
and that the expense was not properly
chargeable to the street account.
The committee agreed that while
there was every need for such an Of
ficer, the department had not proceed
ed properly to install him, and that the
controller could not have done other
wise than refuse to consent to his being
paid. The bill was accordingly disap-
proved.
The ordinance officers duty is to
keep tabs on viewers to see that they
do not make excessive charges for SER
vices, and to stir up property holders
who are delinquent in sewer and paw
ing assessments. 1t is almost a surety
tndt Sucn an OlllCer can save the
amount of his salary several times over
in the course of a year, and all the
city authorities seem agreed that such
an Office should be established The
members of the auditing committee ex-
pressed themselves as being favorable
to the passage of an ordinance Great
ing the office and providing for its
salary.
A number of bills amounting to about
$500 presented by the Scranton Gas and
Water company for lowering or rails
ing gas or water mains on South
Scranton streets, to make way for the
new sewer, were returned by Director
Roche without his approval, because,
as he explained in il note to the COM
mittee, the law provides that the city's
sewers shall have the right of way over
all other underground conduits. The
committee ignored the bills.
A bill from Nj. j. Ruddy amounting
to $1,240 for laying cross walks in the
Twentieth ward was referred to Direc-
tor Roche to ascertain il the work was
done as specified.

MEETING LAST NIGHT.


Colonel Watres, Lieutenant Colonel
F. w. Stillwell, Major w. T.. Keller,
Adjutant ID. r. Atherton, Quarter
master Frank NJ Vandling, and in fact
the greater number of regimental Of
ficers We're present at the meeting, and
held IA long and animated discussion
of the order. Various particulars of
the encampment We're talked over, and
general details arranged. The encamp-
ment has been christened Camp Cen
eral George Il. Meade, in honor of the
Federal victor at the battle of Gettys-
burg.
This years regimental outing
promises to be an excellent one, and
the officers of the regiment feel con-
fident that the men will make fine
showing. The Thirteenth is in splendid
shape, at present, and there is no
reason why the men should not equal
or surpass the standard which has been
established by the regiment in by-gone
years.
There have been number of changes
among the commissioned and non-com-
missioned officers since the last camp,
and when the regiment makes it first
appearance in the field, there will be
more than one familiar face, seen in
an unfamiliar place.
The only vacancy now existing
among the regimental officers is that of
first battalion sergeant major, the posi-
ton left vacant by Sergeant Wallis ad-
vancement. There are a number of
able, seasoned men who are applicants
after the place, and the appointment
will probably be made before Friday.
The most noticeable change made
since the 1901 encampment, took place
when Lieutenant Colonel Stilwell was
relieved of the cares of battalion COM
mand, and Captain G. III. Whitney ap-
pointed major, and given charge of the
Third battalion. This arrangement re-
moved Major Whitney from his post,
as commissary, which has since been
assigned to last years commissary SER
geant; F. Nj. Koehler, who will now
rank as captain.
CHANGES MADE.
Several changes have occurred in
the company commands, two vacancies
occurring through the designations of
captains who left last fall for college.
