Death OF Richard III. Brown.

Fire Chief Richard H. Brown, the
well-known contractor and builder,
died Monday noon shortly after 12
o'clock, following a lingering illness
from cancer of the stomach at his
home, 1112 Main street. Mr.. Brown
was born at Marhamchurch, March
8, 1855, and grew to manhood in
England, attending school in Lon
don and Plymouth. At the age of
twelve he was apprenticed to the
trade of carpenter and joiner. He
came to America in 1875, and To-
Gated with his parents at Honesdale
continuing at his trade, and later
embarking in the contracting busi-
ness. At the time of his death he
was the leading contractor in the
Maple City. Among the buildings he
erected are: The City Hall, the Pres
byterian Chapel, the Wayne Inde-
pendent Building, Savings Bank
building, and the public school build
ings here and at Waymart. He is
chief of the fire department of
Honesdale, a member of the First
Presbyterian church, a Republican,

AMENITIES (?)

We were surprised to note that
neither one of our esteemed down
And-across-the-aven contemporary
les had a line on the recent success
full Bermuda contest conducted by
the peoples paper. Can it be that
the Green-Eyed Monster is respon-
sible for this oversight? Even the
proprietor of that newsy and read
able journal, THE HAWLEY TIMES
took special pains to make extended
comment on the outcome of the af-
fair. Again, we ask, in the name
of the amenities and ethics of the
Fourth Estate''-cOncerning which
these aforesaid contemporaries write
and speak so glibly, why this SEEM
ing oversight? You ''shorely''
aren't jealous, are you?
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1911-02-08
81 DON'T CARE!"

81 don't care! I'd just as lief
die!" How frequently we hear this
expression, coming from people who
are sick of this worlds struggle.
And yet it is the universal rule
among men that no one is willing
to go until his time comes. After
all there is the eternal hope that
things may get better. 1.-THE great
leap in the dark has its terrors
even for the bravest hearts. Sui
eide, at best, is but a towards trick,
to which strong men and women
never resort.
And then, too, what profit can
there possibly be in jumping from
the frying pan into the fire? We
can only live once, and while we
live let us live. This world may
not be our everlasting dwelling
place, but il is possible that the Great
Hereafter may have terrors and tor
ments in store for us, which will
make our hardest trials on earth
pale into insignificance.
What, Good Brother, if you are
hen-pecked 1T may be Heaven
compared to the prickings of tor
mented conscience! What if your
child dies-your well-beloved One,
On whom you had set such store
and hoped great things--think of
the periIs and dangers he is escap-
ing at the hands of a cruel world!
What if you lose your money--thank
a kind Providence that you have
your health and strength left, with
which you may be enabled to hew
out another fortune. "Never de-
spair" is good motto for the ply
steal and mental "Down-and-outs."
If you don't know what else to do
to drive away your attack of mental
indigestion-why go to the Moving
Pictures-take run down to little
old New York--anything, anywhere
anywise, to get into new frame OF
mind.
Read cheerful books. Scan the
wholesome magazines and clean
newspapers, and "Bress the LORD
that you're living!"

INSTRUMENTATION.

When our esteemed dOwn-the-
avenue contemporary, THE WAYNE
COUNTY HERALD, speaks of a
barbecue" at certain meeting on
= certain night, he speaks of some
thing of which he knows next to
nothing. If he wishes more accur-
ate information, as to what trans
spired at the aforesaid meeting, on
the aforesaid night, he may call at
THE CITIZEN office, and he will be
furnished with correct account of
what actually took place. BY the
way, we see he persists in permitting
the Hon. John Kuhbach, TO be classi-
fled in his news columns, as "Bur-
CESS" instead of as "Mayor," which
latter title belongs TO him.

language and the finest diction.
But Time, Time that impartial
Judge, has added something greater
than ever before. Horace Greeley
had been endowed most bountifully
by His Creator with faith, vision,
courage, love. On those great pill
lars, the character, life and worth
of Horace Greeley is founded.
What must have been his feel
ings as he left his native town of
Amherst to see that beautiful college
which has turned out some of the
greatest men America ever knew?
But another life opened to him. No
theoretical knowledge must be OBJ
tanned. 1t must be practical
knowledge. 1t must be working
with workingmen. He must go
among his fellow workingmen. He
must kneel at the feet of Daniel
Webster and Henry Clay, that his
life may be inspired by love for
the Union, and with the value of
protection.
He must enter into the political
life. He must meet politicians and
statesmen. He must meet 1.-The
bosses, for they had political bosses
then, as now. From that great COM
bination of circumstances, this life
of Horace Greeley must be moulded
and shaped for his great fate"
Now he edited the Log Cabin. /"
Greeley became acquainted with
men, methods and manners.
There is no place in this wide
universe that he would be more
pleased to have his name mentioned
than in Wayne, SuSquehanna and
Bradford counties"
Mr.. Dimmick then described the
famous meeting in Horace Greeley S
New York Tribune office, when Will
liam Brosh, of Pike county, who
had gone to Chicago and there
started the Chicago Tribune" :"
David Wilmot, of "Wilmot Proviso"
fame, and Galusha A. Grow author
of the Homestead Act" and Samuel
E. Dimmick, delegate from Wayne,
men famous in Northeastern Penn
sylvania's history, foregathered and
determined upon the nomination of
Lincoln.
Horace Greeley" continued Mr..
Dimmick, had a grand view of
life that was irresistible. He tried
to make the country better here, and
better there"
When Mr.. Dimmick related the
incident of Mr. Greeley's laying his
hand on the brow of Lincoln, as he
lay in his casket, and there repeat
ed the Lords Prayer, and when he
concluded his address with a de-
scription of the death-bed scene of
the great editor, the silence was so
great it could be felt.
LAS he was lying on his last
COUCH" concluded Mr.. Dimmick,
with his two daughters by his side,
his beloved rector, DR.. Charming at
his feet Mr.. Greeley said: Fare
we'll, dear daughters, farewell, dear
pastor. Tell my countrymen that /
know that my Redeemer liveth. "
And thus passed away the great, the
grand, the noble Horace Greeley"

Catarrh is Probably the Cause
Get Rid of the Cause.
If you have catarrh and have con-
stant ringing noises in your ears look
into the matter at once.
It's a pretty sure sign that ca
tarrh is spreading and is making it's
way through the Eustachian tubes
that lead from the nose to the ears.
When catarrh gets to the ears
partial deafness follows. If you
have ringing noises in your ears go
to G. w. Peil to-day and get a HY-
OMEI outfit and drive out catarrh.
To cure catarrh HYOMEI should
be breathed through pocket inhaler
for few minutes, four or five times
day. Just pour few drops into
the hard rubber inhaler and breathe
it.
1t kills the germs; soothes the ir-
ritation; heals the Inflammation; !;
stops hawking, splitting and snuff
fling.
HYOMEI keeps the throat free
from mucus and prevents crusts in
nose.
The complete HYOMEI outfit
which includes the little indestructi-
BILE hard rubber inhaler, bottle of
HYOMEI and simple instructions for
use, costs $1.00. Separate bottles
of HYOMEI costs so cents at drug
gists everywhere, or at G. w. Peil's
drug store on money back plan.

Love In A Cottage?

Editor of CITIZEN:
Last weeks issue of THE WAYNE
contained an article
contributed by Jane Grey in which
she made the statement that money
was not altogether needed to pro-
mote a successful business nor to
make for happiness. Now, if you
will permit me, | would like to ask
Jane" to please tell in a palmer and
more definite way how humanity can
exist without the needful shilling and
six-pence and just what her idea of
happiness is? For surely if we can
live without money and at the same
time be happy, why all this exertion
and struggling?

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

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 inflamed 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
its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol

ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured

Raided Druqqists.

Willow Lakes-Sheriff Dunlap made
a raid on drug stores here and else
where in the county, and az a result
the county treasury has been benefited
and greater care will be exercised in
future by some of the druggists in sup
plying applicants with liquor. The
sheriff arrested a drug clerk and the
proprietor of a pool hall at Vienna for
evading the liquor laws, and also made
a call upon a Willow druggist, who
paid a small fine rather than fight the
case. While the parties interviewed
by the sheriff have evidently violated
the law to some extent, it is generally
acknowledged that the greater part of
the liquor which finds it's way into the
hands of those who consume 1t is sold
by "~bootleggers," who make a business
OF violating the law. A close watch is
being kept over several persons who
are supposed to be engaged In boot
Logging" and when caught with the
goods" so to speak, they will be ar
rested and prosecuted to the full ex-
tent of the law. Sheriff Dunlap and
the other county officers are doing
their utmost to put a stop to the lille.
gal selling of liquor in the county.

wife, Minnie Schimmel, was followed
by several sensational developments
In the afternoon the divorced woman
and Charles Hart. a we'll known trav-
cling man, boarded a train and pro-
ceeded to Canton, where they were
made man and wife. They then re-
turned to Sioux Falls, going to a board
ing house, and had hardly reached the
place when a deputy sheriff appeared
and served upon Hart a summons in
suit instituted against Hart by Schim-
mel, who seeks to recover damages in
the sum of $4,000 from Hart for the
alienation of the affections of Mrs.
Schimmel. A few hours later the po-
lice were summoned to the boarding
house by the claim hat Schimmel
and his son had appeared there and
were threatening to fill Harris hide
full of lead" When the police reach
ed the scene Schimmel and his son
had disappeared. Friends have since
interviewed to prevent further nostili-
ties between Hart and the Schimn1els.

Mitchell.-One hundred young men
and women went down in a heap on
the stage of the Gale theater on the
occasion of the presentation OF a can
tata in connection with the Minneapo-
lis Symphony orchestra.
Raised seats in four tiers had been
erected on the stage and the singers
had taken their places to give their
selections when the platform gave way,
precipitating the men and women to
the floor below. The highest seats
were 10 feet. The underpinning had
become insecure and with the heavy
weight the staging broke. The plat
form had been used in rehearsal during
the morning. The platform went down
slowly, which in a measure minimized
the force of the fall and prevented any
serious accident. With the exception
of one or two of the women, injured
but slightly, no one was hurt.
There was a great miXup of chairs,
women, men and boards and it took
some time to eXtricate the mess so that
the concert could go on. 1t happened
just at the start.
