Food For Thought.

According to the last report Of the
Interstate commerce commission. Sl3
persons were killed in railroad acci-
dents during the three months ending
Dec. 81, 1901. Government reports of
Great Britain show that not single
railroad passenger was killed during
the year 1901 in that country. This is
a contrast which should command the
attention Of every legislator, says an
exchange. Even the better English
system of their elevated and depressed
crossings does not explain away the
difference. With all of our boasted
superiority in train service the price
In human lives lost is too high.

The Senate has accepted the
Spooner amendment which substi-
tutes the Panama canal for the
Nicaraguan project. This substi-
tuition and the appropriation of
$l3O, 600, 600 to complete the work
assures the completion of the
Panama canal by the American
government. More than 800, 600,
600 have been misspent at Panama
upon proprieties that will be turn
ed over by the Panama company
for $40, 100000 The Panama
route is only 13 miles long and the
change of level is only about one
half that of the Nicaraguan route.
Furthermore, the docks at the
terminals of the Panama canal
have been completed and are al.
most in condition for use. When
Investigations were begun the ad-
vantages of this route were seen
to be so far in excess of those of
the Nicaraguan that there was no
comparison between the two.

THE DRAMATIC SEASON.
Manager Dan Byrne, of Grand, Home
with Good Contracts,

Manager D. p. Byrne, Of the Grand,
arrived from New York city, late
Thursday night, where he has been for
over month, booking attractions for
the coming theatrical season.
Mr.. Byrne has been a successful as
possible in the face of the fact that the
strike has made managers timid about
their booking. Among the high class
attractions which he has secured are:
"The Chaperones," which is now run
ming at the New York theater, in the
metropolis. Walter Jones appears in
this company, which has seventy men,
bers and is one of the best attractions
to be offered this season. Effie Ellsler
in Julia Marlowe's production of when
Knighthood Was in Flower" will also
be presented. Mention has already
been made OF the Florodora company
and Mildred Holland in her new play.
Several repertoire companies of high
standing have been booked.
The season will open at the Grand
on Labor day, Monday. Sept. 1, with
Howard Kyle in Nathan Hale" This
was one of the best plays here last
season.

WERE OTHER H0LD-UPS.
Two Others Stopped Before Last
Monday Night-No Clue Yet.

Since the highway robberies of Mon
day and Wednesday night came to
light it has developed that other men
We're stopped presumably by the same
parties, though the hold-up in each case
was more like the Ben Fancher case,
not very desperate effort to eXtort
money.
A man named Hose was stopped in
the Dundaff section a few nights be-
fore Fred Miller was held up. The
highwaymen commanded him to "shell
out" "Oh. stop your fooling,' said
Hosie, as he brushed the men aside and
went on leaving them behind in mute
astonishment.
A young man named Mcdonald was
out calling the same or next evening,
when some men stopped him and insist
ed on tobacco or money. They got
nothing, for he had neither.
Each Of these men did not treat the
intercepting of them very seriously, and
put 1t down as the idle practice of
some Of the sports of the neighborhood
who We're out on kind of a lark.
The police have not met with much
success in apprehending the par
Elephants of Monday and Wednesday
nights episodes. This is due largely to
the fact that the victims do not seem
to give good description Of the rob-
bers.

JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

The ever-glorious Fourth passed off
quietly. Many people from both bor-
oughs patronized the excursions to Lake
Ariel and Lake Lodore, while number
of others enjoyed the day at Lake Chap
man or Crystal Lake. The only acci-
dent from fireworks occurred to Roland
the little son of Conductor Day, of Gene
terry street, who, while setting off set
piece, had his forehead burned and his
hair scorched. His injuries are fortu-
nately nothing serious.
Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, respected resi-
dent of Second street, was given an
agreeable surprise on Thursday after
noon, when, without any previous an
nouncement, large number of her
friends arrived at her home, prepared to
spend a few hours with her In honor of
her SEVENTEEN birthday They had a
very cordial reception and spent several
hours most agreeably. Mrs. Davis has
been resident of Jermyn for over thirty
years. and her many friends hope she will
live to celebrate many more returns of
her birthday. Those present on the oc-
casion We're: Mesdames Il. Jones, Davis,

The QUIETEST FOURTH
IN TOWNS HISTORY

The Often Repeated Saying, "Noth-
ing Doing" Aptly Describes the
Solemn Stiffness of the Day--The
Condition Was Fairly Depressing.
The Observances.
"This is the quietest Fourth I've seen
in Carbondale, and I've been here this
fifty years." or whatever it might be,
was the universal comment among
Carbondale's old settlers, yesterday, as
they looked about and stirred them
selves to shake off the sort of depress-
ing feeling that the quiet and stiffness
of the day were certainly productive of.
No Sunday could be more quiet than
was the day; in fact, any Sunday in
Carbondale had more of air of life than
did the Fourth of July. The day was
positively gloomy. 1t was characters
tic Fourth of July weather. but it was
not characteristic day by any means.
The streets were all but deserted during
the day, and there was scarcely a boom
of a cannon or the snap of cracker
to keep alive the fact of the day it was.
There was quite an exodus to nearby
places. Lake Lodore was the greatest
attraction, perhaps, a number of car
loads to the lake over the Moosics. The
attractions of the drive to Crystal lake
and the beautiful lake itself claimed a
host of visitors. Poyntelle, on the
mountain top, took number of eXcur-
sionists from Carbondale and vicinity
while others sought the attractions held
out by drives into the country and by
the trolley ride to Forest City.
The ball game on Duffy's field was
the chief magnet in the morning, draw
ing thither thirty-five hundred or four
thousand cranks. In the evening the
streets were filled with promenaders,
who were Joined later in the evening
by the returning throng Of excursion
lists.
The only function or social enterprise
of any character during the day was
the ice cream social at the home of
John Moon, on South Church street,
under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid
society Of the Berean Baptist church,

ward, of Jermyn, and Colvin, of Peck
Vile; two sisters, Mrs. Goodridge. Of
Pittston, and Mrs. Maria Patten, of Dun
daft, and brother, Daniel Rolls, of Car
bcndale. The remains were taken to
Peckville, his former home, last even
ing. where the funeral will take place
Sunday afternoon. Services in the Peck
willie Methodist Episcopal church.
A surprise party was held at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Harvey, on
Third street, Thursday evening. in honor
of William Harveys birthday. During
the evening, ice cream, cake and lemon
ade were served and dancing indulged In.
Mr.. Harry Crossin furnished the music.
Those present were: Beatrice Dave, De-
liza Bound, Lizzie Harvey, Lizzie Dinner,
Rose Weston, Mary McKercher, of Scran-
ton; Lizzie MeKercher, Mamie Seymour;
Thomas Buckingham, Samuel Harvey,

His Last Hope Realized.
(From the Sentinel. Gebo, Mont.)

(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont)
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1885, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which. together with the severe
heat, gave him a very severe diar-
rhoea which 1t seemed almost impos-
sible to check, and along in June the
case became so bad he expected to die,
one day one of his neighbors brought
him one small bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
as a last hope. A big dose was given
him while he was rolling about ON the
ground in great agony, and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated, The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. That one little bottle worked
a complete cure, and he cannot help
but feel grateful. The season for bowel
disorders being at hand suggests this
item. For sale by all druggists.

The Afternoon Game.

The afternoon game was away ahead
of the earlier contest, and was we'll
worth the efforts of the 5000 persons
who lined the field. 1t was snappy, full
of ginger and abounded in sharp field
ing that kept it from tagging at any
point.
AS in the morning game, it was the
Crescents' batting that was the fea-
ture. They had their batting clothes
on since morning, and they landed
here, there and several other places on
the ball until 1t looked like a 1O-inch
gun on a battleship working overtime
The fusilade kept up until they had
fourteen hits, the same as in the morn
ing. The Crescents should and would
have had more runs but for reckless
base-running, a weakness that should
be remedied at once. Cuff and Emmett
sustained themselves in this game bv
taking the batting honors.
NNAndrew, "Our Owney," had his
strong arm with him and kept the Cor
don youngsters down to seven hits.
McManamy, from the Notch" was
the Scranton laddie whom the Cres-
cents soaked so terribly.
The score was close enough, Ga.

THE MEN AT WORK.
Carbondale United Mine Workers
Publish Their Names.

When Carbondalians passed through
the streets yesterday morning they were
confronted with posters pasted on a
few telegraph poles. supposedly by the
locals of the United Mine workers,
which bore the names of the men who
have remained at work in the employ
of the several coal companies in this
city and vicinity.
Under the caption ITO the Public"
The poster says:
"The following are those who are
stealing the bread from the wives and
little ones Of the miners during the
STRIKE"
The names Of the men follow. There
were 81 on the list; one has since been
blotted out. The occupation of each
man is given. There are foremen,
docking bosses, driver and barn bosses,
carpenters, sales agents, clerks, coal
inspectors, in short all the occupations
about coal mine are covered. There
are but four engineers on the list.
Some of the men on the list are en-
ployed as watchmen and in various
capacities about the mines
There are only few Of the circulars
posted, one in each quarter of the town.

A STARTLING fact
HALF THE PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD HAVE sToM-
ACH TROUBLE.
A Simple Course Of Treatment Told
in Everyday Language, Free
from Scientific Terms.

Half the people in the world have
stomach trouble in greater or less
degree. Usually 1t comes from irregular
or hasty eatlng--sometimes from other
causes. But there is just one way to
treat 1t and that can be found in a
booklet which the DIR. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, will send
free to any address upon request. Mrs.
Edith Benedict, Of Groton, Mass, Is
one of the many who took this course
of treatment and was cured. She says
II had suffered from constipation
ever since about the time my little girl
was born, about twelve years ago, and
it finally became chronic. 1t isn't
necessary for me to tell you the trouble
1t gave me, but suffered all the time.
Doctors gave me no permanent relief
and 1 kept getting worse. D.
AT last, something more than year
ago, when 1 was all run down and my
blood in horrible condition, my moth
er told me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, which she said
had accomplished wonderful results
with her. I purchased some and took
them according to directions and in
short time saw a decided improvement.
I continued their use and they cured
me-"
If you are suffering from any dis
order of the stomach write for their
booklet, entitled What to Eat and How
to Eat" 1t contains information that
should be in the hands Of every person
who is suffering from a disordered di-
gestion. 1t treats of the proper selec-
tion and preparation of food; the rela-
tive value and disgestibility of various
food products; it contains a chapter of
the use Of alcohol and gives a course
Of treatment by which constipation
may be overcome without the use of
cathartics.
