Miss Emma Lawrence formerly of
Dushore, and Miss Harriet Law
renee, formerly of Laporte, gradual
ed from the Muncy High school last
week, Miss Harriet taking first hon
Ors.
Since the new borough law, that of
prohibiting cattle on the streets, has
gone into effect, several property
owners have taken down the fences
in front of their premises and the re-
suit is IL wonderful improvement
in the appearance of these properties.
There are other residents who will
follow this example in the near fu-
ture.
The following has been found a
sure cure for broken dishes: If the
dish to be mended can be tied to-
gether with stout string, then
place it in boiling water and leave
one. hour, you can never tell the
dish had been broken and it can
afterwards be put in boiling water
without the pieces coming apart.
This experiment has been tried and
proven and many are the broken
dishes which are now as good as
new.
Notwithstanding courts decision
as to the authority of the Pure Food
Commissioners of the State to inter-
fere with the sale of liquors. wheth-
er they are pure or impure, the ac,
tivity of experts employed by DR..
III. B. Warren in the laboratories
of the State chemist has n t ceased.
Whiskey, wines and matted
liquors are being received at the
laboratories from all parts of the
State and analysed. 1t is reported
here that several special agents
haue been employed and required
to exert even greater activity since
the decisions of the court were
handed down.
These facts have led to the belief
on the part of liquor men and other
persons interested in the work of
the department that DR.. Warren is
planning some coup which will
come Us IA big surprise to the State
generally and to rum sellers in par
ticular.
1t has been suggested that the
commissioner plans to submit to
Congress the results of his cam
paign and urge the National Legis-
lation to take some action designed
to put an end to the sale of impure
liquors. The data which DIR. War
rem can obtain with his agents and
corps of experts would, it is be
lieved by some persons, amaze Con.
gressmen and virtually coerce then
into taking some decided action.
DR.. Warren declines to say any
thing concerning the purpose o
his activity.
Under the post office appropriation
bill which Senator Penrose reported
to the Senate last week, rural free
delivery carriers are given fifteen
days leave of absence each year, ex-
elusive of SUNDAYS and holidays, and
$500, 900 is appropriated to pay sub
| stjtutes.
Rural carriers are deserving o
great consideration, in view of tht
fact that they must go back and
forth over all kinds of roads and in
all kinds of weather. Their vacation
is coming to them.

WORKMAN FINDS JEWELS.
Unearthed Gems Hidden By HindO,
 Servant During Fair.

CASNEtnSu Uemb ht00eA By HtndOO
 Servant During Fair.
 St Louis, Aug. 15.-Acting under in- structions cablcd from England. John P. OBrien, laborer employed in the wrecking of the Worlds Fair build ings, has unearthed an alligator bag containing jewels valued at $5O,000, which were stolen from MT. and Mrs, P Henry Clayton, of Devonsfiire. Eng land, during a visit to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition two years ago.
 The jewels were stolen from trunk and they were not missed until the Claytons had returned to England, af- ter a Sour of the country and the world. They then had no means of Knowing where the jewels had been stolen. About a month ago a Hindoo servant, who had been in their employ during their trip, was fatally injured by an elephant in India and on his deathbed confessed that he stole the jewels while in St. Louis.
 He said that he became alarmed and fearing detection had dropped them into hole in the wall of the Manu- lecturers Building. Later he again wished to secure the gems. but on re- turning to the place he had secreted them could not reach the bottom of the space between the plaster and the side of the building. Fearing to awaken any inquiries or ask assist ance. the Hindoo departed from St. Louis with the Claytons leaving the jewels In their hiding place.
 OBrien was generously rewarded, and was also employed by MT. Clayton as his personal attendant.

LITTLE BABY'S
 AWFUL HUM0R
Thin Skin Formed Over Body and Under it Was Watery Blood When Washed it Would Burst and Break Suffered for Weeks Now Sound and Well-
CURED IN ONE WEEK BY
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

awhen my little girl baby was one week old she had a skin disease. A thin skin formed over her body and under it was watery blood, and when she was washed it would burst and break. She was in that condition for weeks, and 1 tried everything l could think of, but nothing did her any good. When she was three months old took her to San Antonio to see doctor, but the doctor we wanted to see was not at home, so my sister gave me cake of Cuticura Soap and half box of Cuti- cura Ointment, and told me to use them, which I did in time. I used them three times, and the humor began to fade, and in one week she was sound end well, and it has never returned since. think every mother should keep the Cuticura Remedies in the house.

STORIES OF BURIED TREASURE.
DemOpOlis Is Excited Over Reports of
 Hidden Gold.


 Hidden Gold.
 Buried treasure stories have been com days.
 The first story excited a great deal of interest and so far remains a mvs- tery: A negro came to Policeman Goodman Griffin and reported that the two previous nights parties had been seen with lanterns and picks digging on the hillside just south of the cars pus of the. Demopolis public school The next day in company with Dr. I, c. spot where tho men had been seen digging, and a hole about five feet deep, the bottom of which showed all signs of having contained the regula- tion pot for buried treasure, was found.
 The land Is the property of the Whit fields, prominent and wealthy family of this city. and much speculation is rife as to when and by whom the treasure. if there was a treasure. was buried, and by whom found.
 The second story is more startling than the first in that the treasure was found and made public. It happened several days ago at Lock 9, above this city on the TombiRbee river. Superin- tendent Youille was having some barges loaded with gravel dredEed from the bottom of the river. When the barge was loaded and the work of unloading was in progress the laborers were electrified to find com after coin in the dirt. The coins consisted of United States silver and mostly of the mintage of 1902 The dollars are said to be at a premium of S15. A number of foreign coins were also found.

 It now becomes a question if ths present Ann Arbor railroad company can be held liable for the accounts of the old company as managed by Well. ington Burt and his assistants insofar that there is no evidence that the com- pany has discriminated in favor of any Ice company.
 The most interesting witness of the day was IT. P. Walters one of the owners of the Michigan Lake Ice Com pany, and one of the ice men sentenced to the work house by Judge Kincaid for conspiracy in restraint of trade.
 Walters testified he bought ice from Michigan Lakes and had 1t carried to Toledo by the railroads and that he paid this year S1.15 ton. freight in- cluded As this same ice was sold to the homes in Toledo for $10 ton un- der the combination. the testimony was of more than ordinary interest

Are You Tired, Nervous
 and SIeeDIeSS ?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are us- ually due to the fact that the nerves are not fed on properly nourtshing blood; they are stdrped nerves. Dr. Pierce's Goloen Medical Discovery TG0Ises pttrc, rich blood, and thereby the nerves are properly nourished and all the organs of the body are run as smoothly as mAchin- cry which runs in oil. In this way you feel clean, strong and strenuous-you are toned up and invigorated, and you arc good for whole lot of physical or mental work. Best of all, the strength and tn- crease in vitality and health are l1sttst9.
 The trouble with most tonics and med icines which have a large, booming sale for short time, Is that they are largely composed of alcohol holding the drugs in solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red blood corpuscles, and In the long run exhilarated and better for the time being, yet in the end weakened and with vitality decreased.

nnsaamio nR Gnnts-

The city Is infested with millions or white gnats, which have suddenly ap- apeared from some unknown place, and cover fences, trees. etc. and come into homes in swarns. settling over the furniture. The appearance of the gnats was first noticed Sunday, when few were seen about the city and they were followed by swarus. and in some sections of the city the trees are liter ally covered with them. They seem to seek vegetation whre 1t can be found. but in ms absence alight on anything and 1t seems remain near there inde- finitely They have become a perfect pest in certain portions of the city, where residences are closed tight on account of them. But for the screen ing on account of mosquiotoes the an- noyance would be much greater than it is. No one has, yet accounted for the presence of the gnats, though many have wondered from whence they came and when they will take their depar- ture.
