A PROPOSED MILITARY CAMP
IN MONROE COUNTY.

A tract of over 5000 acres in the
Pocono region of Pike and Monroe
counties has been suggested to the
War Department as an available site
for the joint maneuvers of the Reg
ulars and State Militia this year, and
from information gained here, Off
GERS will shortly be detailed to in
spect it, says a dispatch from Har-
risburg.
The property lies in the vicinity
of Tobyhanna, and is said to be ad-
mirably adapted for instruction of
soldiers in the rough and ready
work of mimic warfare. A consid-
cradle portion of it is cleared, but
there is a large acreage of brush
and woods. The water is said to be
excellent and the general country
such as troops would encounter in
actual service. The property was
looked over last year by guard Off
GERS, who are said to have declared
the attention of the Regular Army
officials was directed to It, AS soon
as the weather breaks it will be
looked over. One of the big ad-
vantages is said to be it's proximity
to railroads and natural features,
the combination being almost ideal.
The instruction camp this year
will be for the guards of Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland and Virginia, act
ing with regulars, and the camp will
be located in one of the three states,
Last year the State was represent
ed at Pine Plains, n. Y, which will
be used by New York and New Eng
land soldiers and regulars this year,
the three states having their own
camp of 1910.
Both Maryland and Virginia have
been active in endeavoring to secure
the camp and a number of sites have
been suggested by their officials, but
none are said TO be as well adapted
as the Pocono tract.
The designation of what troops
will take part of the manoeuvers
would be entirely in the hands OF
Governor Stuart.

i've lost t." he gasned.

I've lost it," he gasped.
Lost what?" asked the startled
cashier.
The 10000" replied the boy
Then he tainted.
There was an immediate consulta-
ton among the heads of the firm.
Manager John w. Prentice tried
sort of third degree inquisi-
tion on sthe frightened messenger
boy. At first the boy said he had
gone straight to the bank without
opening the deposit book and, upon
reaching there, had found the mon
ey gone. Pressed by Mr.. Prentice,
he finally admitted that he had
stopped in the street to show the bill
of large denomination to a friend,
a messenger for another firm. Soon
a couple of other boys came along
and all wanted to see the bill One
suggested that it be passed around
so they could say they had handled
ten-thousand-dollar bill Finally
the boy got the money back into the
book, he said, and started for the
bank.
He handed the book to the cashier,
he said, but was informed that it
didn't contain any thing. He was
sure none of the other boys had alb
stracted it, and he couldn't explain
how he had lost it.
Manager Prentice then called in
the Pinkertons and the police. The
messenger boy was taken to Police
Headquarters and questioned by In
sDector McCafferty. He told the In
spector the names of the boys who
had stopped him and the circum-
stances of his journey to the bank.
Detectives were sent out to find the
boys while others from both Head
quarters and the Pinkerton agency
searched along the route the messen-
ger boy had passed. All the banks
House, and the Sub-Treasury were
informed of the loss of the bill and
told to be on the lookout for any
one trying to pass it.
Il am sure we will get the bill
back" said Manager Prentice. IF
it was lost in the street some one is
sure to find it sooner or later, and if
it was stolen no one can pass it or
get it changed without the fact be-
coming known. The numbers of all
ten-thousanddollar bills are kept at
the Sub-Treasury in New York as
well as at Washington and if any one
presents this particular one it is sure
to be discovered Fortunately we
kept the number of the bill.
No trace of the bill has yet been
found.

BUCKNELLs NEW CATALOGUE.

The new Bucknell University
catalogue now in press shows an at
tendance of over 700 students, of
whom 527 are in the College. There
are over fifty instructors in the
various departments. The chief
event of the year was the opening of
East College, devoted chiefly to En-
gineering, erected at a cost of S65,-

Among the patrons of the Univer-
sity who have contributed ten thous-
and dollars or more are Samuel A.
Grocer, John d. Rockefeller, Andrew
Carnegie, Gen. Charles Miller, Col.
John J. Carter, Henry Kirke Porter,
David Porter Leas, in addition to the
Bucknell family.
The trustees have decided that the
next financial movement to be under

GROWS BLACK ROSE.
Savannah, Ga, Cripple, Has An Of
fer of $500, 900 for the Secret.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Confiden-
TALLY asserting that after fifteen
years experimenting he has discov-
cred a process whereby black roses
may be grown, Dennis Tapple, a
hopeless cripple from Savannah,
Ga, is in Washington to obtain, if
possible, a patent upon his discov-
cry.
He was preceded by letter writ
ten by Colonel A. r. Lawton, vice
president of the Central Railroad of
Georgia, who has interested himself
in Tapple's claims, and who has ask
ed Representative Edwards of Geor-
gia, to take charge of the matter be-
fore the Patent Office. This Mr.
Edwards will DO, assuring the Grip
pie, who has made key rings all his
life for a living, that his invention
will receive the same Jealous guard
ianship as though he were Thomas
A. Edison himself.
The black rose is something for
which the world has been waiting
for a long time. The discoverer
says that within the past month he
has been offered 100000 for his
secret the day it is protected by pat
ent, but he is going slow in accept
ing any offers.

ERRAND BOY LOST A $4,000
BILL.

A ten-thousand dollar bill was lost
last Saturday in the Wall Street dis
trict. Bigger sums have been lost in
the same neighborhood without
creating half the disturbance. For a
few minutes after the loss had been
flashed on the ticker, the Police De-
partment, the Pinkertons, and a doZ-
en- amateur sleuths, to say nothing of
all the banks in the city, the New
York Clearing House, and the Sub
Treasury were trying to recover it,
The bill was lost by a messenger
boy in the employ of the New York
and Boston Stock Exchange house OF
Hornblower & Weeks, at AZ Broad
way. About II o'clock Saturday
morning client of the firm bought
a quantity of stock. 1t was a cash
transaction and he offered in pay
ment a ten-thousand-dollar bill. The
cashier decided to deposit the money
at once in the National City Bank, al
SO Wall street. Calling a messenger
boy who has been employed by the
firm for six months and whose name
is withheld for the present, the cash
ier sent him with a regular deposit
book In which the bill was folded

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caus-
ed by an inhamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
