Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
'cott's Emulsion. Salt pork
good too, but it is very hard
o digest.
The time to treat consump-
ion is when you begin trying
0 hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
.o>take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Stree. cpeaed and Two Hotels and Houses
Plunged Into Inc ABYSS.

: r = J.
Scranton, Pa, january Abandoned
workings Of the Eddy Creek coiliery of
the Delaware and Hudson Company,
beneath the very heart of che town OF
Olymphant, caved ip this evenings aud
engulfed four frame buildings covering
an aggregate ground space of six thou
sand square feet.
The settiing was gradual and people In
the affected territory escaped without
being Immediately endangered. A gang
of men and boys who were at work In
the mine beyond the fall enconatefed q
flooded "dip" or depression in q. vein ip
making their way ont. by circnito6s
route and had to swim from one rise 10
the other. No one either aboye or
below ground, however, sustained any
injury. ~ - at :.
: A Ats o'clock the settling began. AT
$50 1t was no longer perceptible. In the
intervening half hour O'Briep's three
story hotel, Miss Ann Eyan's double
dwelling, Mrs. Jane Ackerly's double
store building and one-story barber
shop were q mound of debris, in the
yawning pit with the uppermost part of
the mound 40 feet below the Surface.
O'Brien's hotel. which plunged first into
the opening, has entirely disappeared.
A few houses are projecting over the
edge of the pit. The vein that cayed in
is 115 feet below the surface -
The settling started in the street Just
in front of the hotel property, The
brick street pavement was seen to be
working and the telegraph poles and
trees along tho curb we're noticed to be
wobbling. The cause was at once appat.
ent and the alarm given to all the neigh
borhood. Two sick guests were removed
from the hotel and taken two blocks
away to a private house. Some ATTEMPT
was made at saving the contents OF, the
buildings, but the rapidly increasing
size of the opening in the street mt a
stop to this and everyonvilui nonP the
peighborhood. ~ :
Twenty minutes after the disturbances
was first noticed the opening had
widened until 1t reached all the way
across the street and half way beneath
the O'Brien hotel. Then with terrffiS
crash. the hotel pitched forward, tufned
completely about and landed on its roof
In the bottom of the abyss. A mon,ent
later the adjoining double dwelling fell
the ruins of the hotel. The Ackerly
double store building and the Evans
barbershop property slid into the clasm
about the same time, and piled them
selves, broken and twisted, on the otheT
debris. "5'su Z.
1t is confidently believed there willsbe
no further settling. The property dam
age is estimated at 100000. 10y
District Superintendent Bennett, = OF
the Delaware and Hudson Company
went into the mine, and with party eof
other officials, made an examinations
about o'clock. They came out and ffs-
ported that the settling had ceased. TIE
workings which had settled were in tie
uppermost of the worked veinsiiig.TThe
tint bers, it is explained by the company
officials, supported thin roof Of rock,
which in turn supported stratas of quit3S
sand and gravel extending to the spfface.
The timbers rotted, the roof gave Way
and all above then sunk into the pit. ~ ~

Who are the Eight Thousand 7

The second edition of who's who in
America" (from the press of A. M
Marquis & Co.. Chicago) contains 800
pages of brief biographies, WITHOUT
eulogy, criticism or comment, of suoh
persons now living in America as have
become noted as factors in the progress
and achievement of the age. "Endeavor
has been ,ade," say the editors, "to in
clude all Americans of more than local
note in all lines of useful effort.' No
name is inserted or ommitted for finan-
cial considerations; the book is sold on
it's merits.
With view to determining what effect
education of the various grades has had on
success in life, effort was made to asoer.
tain the school training of each of tbesd
men and women "of1 more! than l6cak
note" and 1852 on their United States
list were thus educationally classified
According to the best estimate we can
make from the latest census returns
there are in the United States 40, 782, ,OO7
persons over II; years old. TheseSase
divided educationally about as foll3wse
Glass l. Without school train s !
o. i9g:,..,..;..%. $780, 4,6ss. .49S
Class 2. With only common
school training .32, ,S82, ,051
Class 3: With common and
high school training. 2, los, 1857
Class4. With college or higher
education added ,071, POI
Now the question is, how many of the
eight thousand distinguished citizens of
the Unit d States on the Who's Who
list came from each of these classes:
The 4 ,682, ,49S of class furnished 81
The 32 ,862,0 ,05l of class 2 furnished. 8n9
The 2,165357 of class 8 furnished. 1,245
The 1,071 POI of class 4 furnished &. .f8S
1t thus appears:
1st. That an uneducated child has one
chance in 10000 of attaining distinction
as a factor in the progress of tho age.
I'd. That common school education
will increase his chances nearly four
times.
Sd. That high school training will
increase the chance of the common
school boy twenty-five times. giving
him eighty-seven times the chance of
the uneducated.
4th. That a college ed dncation INCREASES
tue chance of the high school boy nine
times, giving him two hundred and nine
teen times the chance of the common
school boy and more than eight hundred
times tho chance of the,untrained. z,,..,.
1t is a surprising fact that of 1852
notables" thus gathered, A,Sl0 proved
to be full graduates of colleges. ...E
From the nature of the case 1t can not
be claimed that these figures are exact,
but they are based upon the most re-
liable government statistics and the nee,
| essary estimates have been made with
care. 1t is also doubtless true that other
circumstances contributed to the success
of these college trained mon. but after
all reasonable allowances are made the
figures still force the couclusion that tile
more school training child has the
greater his chances of distinction will be.

THE NEW COUNTY BOARD.

The new County Board Of Commits
sioners, composed of ID. f. McAlister,
Supervisor, and N. Phillips and J. II
Zachary, Commissioners, entered upon
the discharge of their official duties last
Saturday, Sd instant. +. A. III. Schroeder
was elected clerk, r. T. Jaynes attorney
and DIR. j. III. Moore physician. The
members of the Board are working hard
to familiarize themselves with the many
and varied details of the Office. Their
task is arduous and difficult. They
solicit the help and CO operation of the
citizens throughout the county. Many
are the demands made upon their time
and efforts. Remember all the roads
cannot be worked at once, neither can 81
be made to pay 50 of the county's debts.
1t is unfortunate that they find the
county so badly in debt. 1t is probable
that some $4,000 to $4,000 will be
found outstanding after applying the
moneys collected on taxes for the past
fiscal year. The correct amount can be
approximately ascertained in a few days.
E 1t seems that the only way this indebted
ness can be liquidated will be by the
issuance of county bonds, running for a
term of years. In the meantime those
who hold demands against the county
must exercise little patience. Don't
fret too much; it won't do any good.
You will get your money just as soon as
1t can be paid. The Board has instructed
their clerk to begin at No. 1 Of the
audited claims for the past fiscal year,
and pay in regular consecutive order as
fast as the County Treasurer reports
money on hand subject to check. In this
way no favoritism can be shown, and
paid first. 1t is not necessary to be
calling on the clerk for money, for he
will draw the checks just as fast as the
money is reported in the treasury, and
the checks will be mailed to the parties
holding the claims. 1t is estimated that
he may be able to pay all claims audited
up to August of last year. Some pro-
vision will then have to be made for
settlement of balance. With tho very
best management it will probably be
some three or four months before the
iNoney can be obtained.
1Ie Legislature will have to lend a
helping hand. 1t is now "up to" the
members of our delegation, for knotty
problem confronts them. 1t is condi-
ton, not theory. How shall it be metz
We confess it is embarrassing, but it is
not hopeless. Let us meet it like men.
There is no use whining or sulking.
Some easy plan for retiring the present
Indebtedness should be DEVISED and
trust to the new Board to curtail ex-
penses. They are determined upon re-
trenchmept and reform. OF course the
necessary expenses of an efficient county
government are considerable. These
must continue, but most rigid economy
must be practiced if the county's finances
are ever to be placed upon a cash basis.
To this end let an earnest effort be made

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive So and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scots sEmulsionisthemod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
