Health, and Happiness.

The unhappy victim Of disease and
suffering who has just dragged through
the summer, and who is now racked
with suffering and almost physical
wreck, must make immediate choice of
two paths. One leads to increased mis-
cries and certain death, the other to
new life, health, and happiness.
The use of Pane's Celery Compound
is necessity for all who seek the path
of health and long years. Victims of
rheumatism. neuralgia, kidney disease,
liver trouble, dyspepsia, nervousness,
and blood diseases quickly and surely
find new life, vigor and strength in DR..

Celery Compound. 1t builds up the sys-
tenn, purifies the blood, braces the
nerves, and regulates digestion as no
other medicine can do. Mr. John c.
Rowan, 1877 East Winifred street, st.
Paul, Mimi, says:
Some six years ago I suffered with
rheumatism in my knees so painful
could get no relief, and l had to rub
them for moments ease. Paine's Gel
cry Compound cured me and eradicated
the disease from my system. l had also
been afflicted with kidney disease, as
most railroad men are, and I had ca
tarrh SO bad that my head ached and
my eyes were inflamed with continual
pain, and I could retain nothing but
liquid food on my stomach. Today,
thanks to Paines Celery Compound, 1

Another Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western colliery was gotten under way
yesterday. 1t Is the Bliss, at Nanti-
coke, one of the biggest of the region.
Superintendent Phillips says the start
was made with about one hundred men,
mostly former employees of the colliery.
No trouble attended the resumption, al
though it was known to the strikers
that an attempt to work the place
would be made.
This makes five collieries and four
washerier the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company now has IN
operation. They are the Cayuga,
Dodge, Hampton, Avondale and Bliss
collieries, and the Diamond, Hampton,
Oxford and Taylor washeries. The
Bellevue washery, which was destroyed
by fire four weeks ago last Friday, will
resume operations next Friday, which
will be only thirty days from the time
the carpenters began work.
To construct washery in ninety
days Is considered good work. The
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company was bent on having the wash
cry going again in the shortest possible
immense constructive resources, sue
ceeded in accomplishing the feat Of put
ting up a washery in about one-third
the ordinary time.

Temple companies and individual oper-
ators are working half-a-dozen more

gion, it is estimated, there is now be-
ing prepared $4,000 tons of coal day.
Richard Williamson, who has been
actirg as a watchman at the Rich
mond No. 8 collierN of the Scranton
Coal company, near the Dickson City
line, was set upon by crowd of strik-
ers, while returning from work yester-
day morning at o'clock, and given 4
brutal beating.
A crowd of forty men followed him
and, overtaking him near the Throop
station of the Ontario and Western
road, began to attack him with sticks
and stones. He drew his revolver and
emptied it's five chambers, but did not
hit anyone. Five of the crowd then
pitched onto him and beat him unmer-
cifully. Cut, bruised and unconscious,
he was left lying on the road, sup
posedly dead. He was assisted home
and came to all right, but the physi-
Clans say it will be many day be-
fore hs will be able to leave his bed.
SHOOTING AT THROOP.
There was more firing at Throop Sum
day night. Some time between 10 and
IL o'clock, the five guards at the Pan
coast pump-house, located at the
rivers edge, heard shots in the brush
on the opposite bank, and the whiz of
bullets in close proximity to where
they were sitting on the ground. The
guards took to cover and remained
quiet until the firing ceased. Nine
shots were fired, and the guards de-
clare positively that they were rifle
shots.
There was no cessation of work at
the miles or washeries on account OF
Labor Day.

Louis Gere,of Brooklyn, distinguished

There will be four special honor

one of the most popular of reasonably
priced musical instruments 1t has been
decided to offer one for the first prize

ward.
Last month a number of the boys
worked hard to win one of the three
cameras offered as special honor re-
wards and as all but three were disap-

best thing to do was to duplicate last

A Point to Insist On.

There are endless numbers Of travel
ing people who go regularly from New
York to Chicago and vice versa several
times a month, who have never gone
over any other road but the Lake
Shore &. Michigan Southern, because
this road is good enough for them. It's
good enough for anybody, the fastest
safest, most convenient and most COM
Portable road in America. Once you
travel over the Lake Shore and you will
not want to experiment with any other
road. People who know the comforts
and discomforts of travelling, and what
they have right to expect, always
insist on their tickets reading by way
of the Lake Shore. So should you. w
