NOBODY is EXEMPT.
A New Preparation Which Everyone
will Need Sooner OF Later.

Almost everybody's digestion Is dis
ordered more or less, and the commons
est thing they do for it is to take some
one of the many so-called blood puri-
iiers, which in many cases are merely
strong cathartics. Such things are not
needed If the organs are in a clogged
condition, they need only u little help
and they will right themselves. Cathar-
tics irritate the sensitive Innings OF the
stomach and bowels and often do more
harm than good.
Purging Is not what is needed. The
thing to do Is To put the food in con-
dition to be readily digested and as
simulated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
do this perfectly. They partly digest
what is eaten and give the stomach
just the help it needs. They stimulate
gestive fluids and relieve the congested
condition of the glands and mem
branes. They put the whole digestive
system in condition to do its work.
When that is done YOU need take no

two tabets-give them needed help and

All Cared for,
HARD FOR CRIMINALS TO HIDE.
Wherever They Go They Soon Become
Marked Men.
From the Washington Star

From the washington Star
Several recent ational homicides
and the active pursuit of the alleged
murderers by the police in the cities
where the crimes We're committed, and
of the law officers in the different parts
of the country, call up fact about
the apprehension of criminals" said a
headquarters dective sergeant.
ITO the ordinary observer one would
think it would be comparatively easy to
commit a, crime, whether of robbery Or
of homicide, and escape detection. es-
pecially in Il large city like New York.
1t would appear to be very easy in that
whirlpool of humanity for d man to Sc
crete himself, lie low, wait until the af-
fair blew over and then seek safety in
flight and oblivion in some distant part
of the country. To q stranger it would
seem that man could be entirely lost
from observation in New York. where
one does not know the residents of his
own apartment house, or even those
on the same floor with him, much less
the people upon the block.
The two great reasons why such an
escape is not made by the culprit lie in
his lack of nerve, once blood has been
shed by him, and from the further fact
that we all have our little worlds in
which we live, and when stranger
comes over the threshold thereof we at
once detect his presence.
Thus while a man who had commit
ted crime In a large city would think
himself safe in some small town or viii,
lage, he becomes, on the contrary, i'm
mediately an object of suspicion on the
part of the residents, who, though
strangers To him, are known to one an
other. Until this suspicion is cleared up
he Is marked man, and, being 4
stranger, he is as readily picked out as
Il man in uniform upon a city street.
But in great city, you say. he
would be safe. a great city is simply
an aggregation of little worlds to which

When Scranton went to bed on the
eve of Christmas there was only one
thing wanting to make the morrow
| ideal. There was peace, re-established
good will, and prosperity in abundance,
the city was filled with brightest pros
| poets for the. future and there were
present all the other things tending to
n community's good cheer, but there
was no snow.
A Christmas without q mantle of the
soft, white beautiful is not Just what
Christmas ought to be. Without the
aforesaid $. ". b., the day doesn't size
up to it's pictures. Christmas with rain,
| mud, slush or hard, bare ground Is not
ideal. There must be snow.
The coming of the snow was timed
like a visit of Santa Claus and coming
unexpectedly was all the more appre
ciated. 1t began falling gently-as snow
has 81 confirmed habit of falling--about
l a. m. and continued with increasing
heaviness until late in the day. At day
, break there was a goodly three inches
to surprise and delight those who arc
ideallic In this sort of thing, and to
add to pleasant contemplation, the
other weather features gave assurance
that the snow had come to stay.
Really Truly Christmas.
1t was the closest approach to really
truly Christmas day in this and prac-
tically every other relevant regard that
Scranton has known in many Il year.
Everybody, of course, took a. holiday.
The miners, mills and factories We're
shut down, the business places. with
the exception of drug stores and the
like, were closed, and no one seemed to
have a care in the world other than
that of being happy.
The central city streets We're crowded
from the hour at which the earliest
church services began until the the
atres let out at the approach of mid
night. in the morning there was a con-
stant stream moving to and fro from
the churches, and in the afternoon tho
same scene was resultant from the
crowds going and coming from the the
atres, and the prOmenaders who always
make IL large contribution to the CEN
tral city throng on a holiday. The good
sleighing was taken advantage of to
practically the full extent of the city's
ability to supply sleighs.
There We're homes, of course, yester-
day where there was not that long
drawn-out and perfect happiness that
obtains from the time the babes climb
out of restless cribs to find out what
Santa Claus had brung," until the re-
united groWn-ups bade a late good
night, but there We're few homes, it is
safe to say, where there was total lack
of the essentials to Yuletde enjoy
mcnt.
All Cared fol-.
II there was n person in Scranton
yesterday who did not share in a
Christmas pot it was that persons own
fault. Philanthropic individuals the
associated charities, the churches and
the managers of charitable institutions
had, as usual, distributed Christmas
goodies in abundance. Even the pris-
oners in the Jail had all the turkey
they could eat and each was the re-
cipient of some little present from the
big and big-hearted sheriff.

Oil eusher at Boulder.

Denver, Sept. 2O.-A special to the
News last night from Boulder says:
The Bradford Well spouted for ten
minutes this evening, the oil rising in
a huge column the full distance of the
height of the derrick. This was con-
sequent upon a shot put in at 6 O'Clock.
1t was thirty minutes after the ex-
plosion when the well began to spout.
After ten minutes it subsidized and oil
ran over the floor of the derrick for
long time. Then the fluid settled to
within 200 feet of the surface. Secre-
tary Gretchen said this evening that
by 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon he
expected to have pumping going on at
the Bradford. Both the Bradford and
Otero are owned in. La Junta and
Rocky Ford and are known as the
Watermelon oil wells of this belt.
Work was resumed on the Citizens
well to-day after an idleness of two
months. 1t will now be drilled to a
depth of $500 or 1000 feet, if neces-
sary. The Wisconsin people are pre-
pairing to drill another well and ten
wells are now being drilled in this
field.

GUIDING AN AIRSHIP
REMARKABLE FEAT IN LONDON
Stanley Spencer Travels Nearly Thirty
Miles Over the city-Far Exceeds
Any Flight Made by santos-Dumont
Steers His Airship With the Ut


Steers His Airship With the Ut
most Ease.
London, Sept. 10.-Stanley Spencer.
n well known English aeronaut, yes
terday successfully accomplished a
remarkable flight over London in an
airship of his own invention. 1t is es
timated that his ship Travelled nearly
thirty miles.
From observations of those on the
ground Spencer seemed to have com
plete control of his vessel. He started
from the Crystal Palace at 4:15 yester
day afternoon and descended three
hourse later near Harrow. The route
taken by the aeronaut was over Strath-
am, Chaplain common and the smoky
South Side of the metropolis, across
the Thames, over the populous Chelsea
district, across Kensington and Earrs
Court, out to Harrow and then safely
past the Forest buildings. He executed
an easy descent at the little village of
Eastcote.
Spencer has been experimenting re-
Gently with his vessel at Crystal Pal
ace. Finding the conditions favorable
he suddenly decided to start off on his
dangerous voyage late yesterday after
noon, and the usual crowd of palace
spectators gave MN n nearly Senu-oH.
The airship at once rose to II height of
about 800 feet. After travelling for
about n mile with practically no devi-
alton in his course, Spencer made vari-
Gus detours and seemed able to steer
his ship as easily as n torpedo boat.
Near Clapham common he came fair
ly close to the ground, for the purpose
OF maneuvering. The appearance Of
the airship created intense astonish-
ment among the thousands of persons
on the streets over whose heads the
aeronaut passed. Percival Spencer, re-
ferring to his brothers trip through
the air, said it exceeded the longest
trip of Santos-Dumont, the Brazilian
aeronaut, by nearly twenty miles.
Spencer's airship has II blunt nose
and tail and does not taper in cigar
like point like the airship of Santos
Dumont. In general outline it has the
appearance of whale. The bag,
which Is seventy-tive feet long, con-
tains 10000 cubic feet of hydrogen
gas. The frame is built of bamboo
and the propeller is in front.
