Hundreds Of
Dollars
Hammond Man
Makes a
Confession.

After five years of suffering a Ham
mond man tells of his experience in
taking treatment of DIR. Leedy, who
has his Office in Suites 80 and 80, Rim
bach building, over Lion Store. Ham
mond, Ind. Concerning the intra-ven-
Gus treatment of which Mr.. Fowler
speaks. DIR. Leedy has printed little
booklet and if you have not seen it
you should stop in and get one. 1t
also tells of other sanitarium treat
. ments that are daily being given at
the Office and are of interest to all
sufferers that have taken treatment at
other places without entire satisfac-
ton. The doctor invites you to call
and inspect his Office and extends free
consultation to all. Read what Mr..
Fowler says of his treatments:
II have been troubled with
| rheumatism in my back, hips and
| legs for at least five years. Only
| those who have been thus afflict-
| ed can have any idea of what l
/ nave suffered. NO one can de-
| scribe rheumatic pain. With
| out an exaggeration, / have spent
hundreds of dollars for various
treatments that | have tried Some
of them seemed to dome some good
| but only for time, but many of
| them did me no good at all. At
| last / saw Dr. LeedyS adver-
tisement and decided to try again.
: His treatments were entirely diff Z
| ferent. In addition to the medi-
cine and electrical treatments
that he gave me, he also injected
medicine into the veins, not n.y.
podermatically but directly into
the veins Relief became apparent
in just short time and there has
/ been no return of the pains what
ever. DIR. Leedy's intra-venous
treatment for rheumatism is the
greatest thing of its kind that |
have ever seen.

That is the way Prothonotary NJ.
j. Hanlan accounted for the fact
that there were onl IA licenses
issued in May, 1911, as compared
with twenty-one in May, 1910, when
asked by a Citizen man as to the
reasons for the alarming falling off
in applicants for the holy state of
matrimony.
An examination of the May rec
ords in Marriage License Docket
Book No. in the office of the Clerk
of Orphans Court, reveals a number
of interesting facts.
For one thing, only one of the
dozen and two May brides was under
legal age, and two were past thirty
-Four were twenty-one years of age.
Two brides were past forty. The
Oldest bride was 90. The average
age of the brides was unusually
high, viz. zS and 3-14 years. The
grooms averaged thirty and lila
years apiece.
There was only one May BRIDE
groom under twenty-one. Four were
between twenty-one and twenty-five.
Theree were twenty-seven. Five were
over thirty, the oldest being 70.

Resume OF The Work OF
The Legislature
mo BETTER AND NO WORSE
THAN PREVIOUS BODIES"
is CONSENSUS OF OPIN-
ION.

Shortly after noon on Thursday
last the Legislative session of 1911
came to an end. The House of Rep
resentatives INDUCED in the time
honored custom of turning back the
hands of the clock, so that twelve
noon did not arrive officially until
about half-past two, by which time
all the gifts were exchanged, pretty
speeches made and all unpleasant
thoughts and feelings lost sight Of
The Senate, more decorous and con-
servative, had finished everything
by noon, and most of its members
were on the way home while the
House was still in session. The pre-
siding officers of both Houses were
presented with beautiful and costly
gifts, and the various clerks Jared
generously also. Senator Wurtz of
Cambria county was chosen Presi-
dent pro TEN. of the Senate, which
means that he succeeds Senator Crow
at the next session, as we'll as during
the recess. Senator Crow has made
a good record as an efficient presid-
ing officer.
About an average, seems to be the
estimate put upon the body which
has just left the Hill. 1t enacted
the usual number of fairly good bills
passed or tried to pass some objec-
tionable ones and failed to do that
which some good citizens thought it
should do. The most conspicuous
failure perhaps, according to Gov
ernor Tener's view, was the killing
of the Public Utilities bill The
House takes credit for putting the
measure through that body, but the
credit is only partially deserved, for
it was generally understood that the
Senate would kill it, regardless of
the attitude of the House. In fact
each body depended upon the other
to kill certain measures that went
through one body by large major
ity Certain interests had marked
the utilities bill for slaughter and
the killing was easier in the Senate,
so the House just moved it along,
Governor Displeased.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the Governor was displeased with
the action of the Senate on his bill,
and in a published statement he
characterized their treatment of it
as arbitrary, unreasonable and in
defensible." Not content with kill
ing the bill the Senate deliberately
added to the unpleasantness by re-
ferring to the Finance Committee

Makes Sick Trees Well
And Well Trees Better
HOLMES AND WESTON'S TREES
HAVE THEIR PULSE FELT
AND TEMPERATURES
TAKEN.

Bernard M. Rifkin, of the firm of
Bonsey and Rifkin, tree experts and
landscape gardeners, with offices in
the Second National Bank Building,
Wilkes Barre, when seen at the AL
len House Wednesday afternoon by a
Citizen man, talked Interestingly on
the subject of trees and their preser-
walton.
Honesdale, by the way, is noted for
it's bushy naples and stately elms,
taking it's nickname from the many
trees of the former species which
adorn it's parks, and lend grateful
shade to the pedestrian.
There is but one rift in the lutte of
unadulterated enjoyment to the lover
of Nature. AS he strolls along this
arboreal canopy he is impressed by
the fact that these majestic sun
shields have almost reached the
point of diminishing returns, econo-
mically speaking, and that thelr
grateful service to man and beast
must end within a few years, unless
immediate steps are taken to pre-
serve them. For lightning has play
ed sad havoc with their symmetry.
Limbs have been stripped from par
ent trunks, and great gaping scars
mar their beauty. =
1t is to prolong their lease of life,
that experts are entering in, men
skilled in the scientific knowledge of
plant life, who cut deep into the
vitals of the decaying naples and
elms, cleanse their wounds with an
tiseptic baths, and cover up their
nakedness from the world, leaving
it to the healing force of nature to
cover the imprints of arboreal knife
and forceps.
"Whiskbroom" Effect
No butcher climbs a ladder in this
business, for business it is, and a
highly-specialized one at that. No
lower ends are Topped off, and up
per parts untouched, leaving that
"whisk-broom" effect so common
when unskilled hands attempt to do
the work.
Arboriculture as practiced by ex-
perts in the profession, consists of
trimming, claiming, spraying, fer
tilizing, and cementing of trees.
Bad spots in the trunks are cut out,
the inside of cavities are cleaned,
the roots doctored, cavities filled,
and everything possible done to re-
store the normal conditions of
growth.
Having learned much that was

ENGINEER KILLED in

Engineer Alonzo Damon, Port
Jervis, was instantly killed, and
fireman Michael Heinz, badly scald-
ed, In head-on collision on the
Erie Railroad at Long Switch, near
Kimbles, at 11:57 o'clock Wednes-
day night.

charge of the west bound train and
Alonzo Damon was his engineer
He had orders to meet Conductor
S. S. Martin, Avoca, at the siding
and let Martin pass with his loaded
train. The light train was coming
toward Hawley.
1t seems that in running into the
switch Gallagher ran partly out on
to the main track He realized his
mistake too late, for without a
moments warning the engine of the
loaded train crashed into him, kill
ing Engineer Damon, and badly
scalding Fireman Heinz.

TEAM BROKE EVEN THE. TREE DOCTOR
Won Morning And Lost
Afternoon Game
BOTH GAMES WORTH SEEING;
FIRST WAS WON IN
LUCKY SEVENTH"

You can put this in your pipe and
smoke it,-when Honesdale broke
even in the two-act drama pulled off
down on the flats on Memorial Day,
between Jimmy Moran's crew of
Dunmore sluggers, and the Maple
City defenders, she sent a whole lot
more of the calamity howlers to the
tall timber!
After the victorious march of
Dunmore since the opening of the
season, James Moran, who halls the
Honesdale High school as his alma
mater. was telling the boys of that
little punky suburb of the Electric
City that they would make Leon
Ross little boys have a sad Memorial
Day. Good night!!!
By the way there's nothing so un-
certain as baseball. Nobody thought
for instance that one Mr.. Michael
Farrell was going to put them over
the plate so speedy that our boys
couldn't connect with his curves in
the afternoon game, for 'ninstance,
Nobody dreamed rocky fielding would
lose the afternoon game, after the
morning game had been pulled out
of the fire in the seventh inning. But
of such is the sport of base ball!
They were great games, both of
them. Players on both teams were
tuned up to a high pitch, and the
spectators were keyed to point
where an outbreak of yelling came
without a seconds warning at any
critical point.
Jimmy" Moran in the afternoon
game did great work. He drew a
base on balls, and when the seventh
inning arrived, as the band in Belle
vue Park across the river was sweet
ly playing "The Watch On The
Rhine" he hit a nice little one base
hit
Things looked good for Honesdale
when she came to bat in the open
ing session. Schilling, the first man
up, famed. Brader got the pitcher S
goat, and went to first with a bruise
on his anatomy. Home Run Halter
helped along the good work with a
nice little hit. Sandercock sent Hat
Ter home with lovely three Dagger.
That ended the run-getting for our
boys.
Hessling pitched a good game,
holding down the Dunmore sluggers
to two hits, and only passing two
men to first. But some wild throws
to first helped the Scranton "subur-
bas' to win, and inability to hit
Farrell helped our boys to lose.
But gracious me, our boys were

Capture of Port Royal.

EARLY in November a naval force
under Commodore Dupont after
severe engagement, captured Port
Royal, S. c., the finest harbor on
the South Atlantic coast, and bar
red blockade running at that point,
besides establishing a base of opera
tions on land.
''In February, 1862, a fleet under
flag-officer Goldsborough reduced
the confederate forts on Roanoke Is
land, n. c., and enabled the mill
tary force under Gen. Burnside to
seize and hold important points on
the main land.
''In the west the gun boats under
Commodore Foot, operating on the
Cumberland and Tennessee rivers
in February, 1862, gave Grants
army very material aid in capturing
Fort Henry and Fort Donaldson.
'On March s, 1862, the memorable
engagement between the Union
floating battery, Monitor, and the
Confederate ram, Merrimac, in
Hampton Roads, Va, ended in the
defeat of the latter, after she had
destroyed two of the Union wooden
war vessels-the frigate, Congress,
and the sloop-of-war, Cumberland.
I'm April, 1852, Commodore Far
ragut began the work of opening
the lower Mississippi. He cut a
heavy iron chain cable which had
been placed across the river, passed
the enemy's forts, destroyed and
captured all the confederate vessels,
fire RATS, and the iron clad rams,
Manassas and Louisiana, and before
the close of the month received the
surrender of New Orleans. For
more than year afterward he con-
tinued operations on the Mississip-
pi, and the surrender of Vicksburg
and Port Hudson in July, 1868, COM
pleted the opening of the river
Sinking of Alabama.
I'm June, 1864, after a spirited con-
test, the Union war steamer Kear-
sarge, under Capt. Winslow sank
the confederate vessel Alabama
which had committed great depreda-
tions on our commerce.
I'm August, 1864, Farragut cap
tured or destroyed confederate
fleet in Mobile Bay including the
iron clad ram Tennessee, the strong
est vessel ever built by the confed-
crates, and captured the forts at
the harbor entrance, thus sealing
the port against blockade runners.
"In January, 1865, Wilmington, N.
c., the last port left for the opera
tions of the blockade runners came
