Your blood is surely filed with waste and
poisonous matters when you suffer from boils,
pimples, blackheads, eczema, salt rheum, cry
speas or itch. When nerve force is low, when
you suffer from insomnia, lassitude or neural,
gia, be assured your blood demands purifying
and cleansing.
Paine's Celery Compound quickly banishes
from the blood all poisons; it supplies the
proper elements for enriching the vital fluid
building tissue and for the general repair of
the whole system. Try its renovating and life

DIR. Sutton, of German Valley, met
with peculiar and painful accident
last Friday. The telegraph linemen
were stringing wires across the square
as the Doctor drove under. The work
men made ''slack" which caught the
wagon top. The Doctor was dragged
from his buggy with great violence.
The horse ran away and the buggy
was completely wrecked. A nice and
legitimate bill goes up to the com
pany.- HackettStown Gazette.
Phillipsburg claims to have the
champion pie eater but O. A. Mattison
of Hackettstown easily leads the
county as the champion guesser. In a
contest of this character instituted by
the American Tobacco company as to
the number of cigars the company
would stamp during the past year,
Mr.. Mattison made several guesSeS,
all of them being in the neighborhood
of 550.000,0 900. He won two of the
prizes $40 in cash and the other
$500 cigars worth at least SD Wash

Before the largest congregation that
has greeted him in several months,
Rev. Elias B. England last Sunday
morning gave notice of his intention
to ask the Newton Presbytery at its
next session to dissolve his pastoral
relations with the Washington Pres
byterian church. The action of the
pastor brings to a climax, and we
trust the end, a long drawn out fight
which has gradually been undermin-
ing the influence Of the pastor and
destroying the church's usefulness in
the community.
Butler borough without it's band
could scarcely be pictured-we simply
must have it. The band was too fine
an organization to go out of business:
such seemed to be the general verdict,
so in spite of all the obstacles to be
surmounted in recognizing it, the
boys came together and with a mighty
determination resolved that the
borough would not be without it's
band. Director George Fritz, with
his usual musical vim and energy,
soon awakened the proper spirit
among the boys and the band became
"pretty lively corpse" in short order.
1t will mean lot of uphill work for
few months, but there will be music

same as usual. Butler Argus.

A Promoter Asks That Amount From
the Estate of 6. f. stone Formerly
of This City.


the Estate of G. f. stone Formerly
of This city.
The Newark News of Tuesday CON
tains the following
For the third time Mrs. George f.
Stone, a prominent social leader who
resides in a beautiful house in Wash
ington avenue, Morristown, has been
made defendant in suit for damages
which will be heard before Supreme
Court Justice Gametson during the
May term. The plaintiff is William
d. Marvel and he wants to recover
S3,000,000 from the estate of George f.
Stone, who died in Morristown in
January, 1895
incidentally, the suit involves mines
of fabulous wealth near the Mediter-
ranean of royal concessions from
Spain, of castles and railroads i'm that
country and of the mysterious diSap-
pearance of valuable documents, of a
safe taken across the Atlantic and
seized under peculiar circumstances.
Marvel, who for twenty-five years
has been resident of Flushing, Long
Island, was formerly Il director of the
New York Board of Trade and Trans
portation, and is engaged in the coal
business. The late George f. Stone
was prominent tinancier.
According to the complaint, Marvel
went to Spain in 1868 and secured four
iron mines about ten miles from AL
meria, small Mediterranean port.
He also secured charter from the
Spanish government for the building
of a narrow gauge railroad from the
mines to the port. His plan was to
build the railway, then work the
mines and sell and ship the ores, from
which he expected to produce the
finest steel
On his return the Marvel Iron Com
pany, Limited, was organized, with a
capital of 81 100000 The general part
ners were Marvel, Robert L. S. Hall
and Edward N. HILL Mr.. Stone was
a special partner. With Sl50,000 Mar
vel went to Spain to start the enter
prise, but unsatisfactory reports being
received Hall was sent to investigate
Part of the railroad, he reported, had
been washed away.
Later the whole scheme was put in
the hands of Stone, who unloaded
bonds in London. Even that proved
unproductive, and finally everything
came to a standstill, except litigation,
which has been going on ever since,
the present suit being part Of it.

A NEW FOOD PLANT.
Curious Growth of Uganda Recently
Discovered by IA Coffee
Grower.

There have recently been imported
into England specimens of the ''glycine
s~ubt9rranea," a plant which is in some
respects the most curious in the world,
reports a London paper. Mr.. Balland,
who has reported on it. says that it's
roots contain every principle necessary
for human food. The plant was dis
covered by a coffee grower in Uganda.
Its bulb is shaped like an egg, and is
of a dark red hue with black stripes.
1t is ground into a flour which tastes
like chestnuts. Two pounds of this
flour is sufficient to keep a man for a
day, and will supply the place of bread,
meat, butter and vegetables. Unfor-
tunately, the glycine will not flourish
in cold climates. 1t is, however, to be
introduced in India and Brazil, where
it should prove an enormous addition
to the food plants there available. No
doubt it's finder will make a very good
thing OF his discovery.
