To Absorb FreckIes
and Other BIemishes

Every spring one receives many
letters from girls seeking some re-
liable recipe for removing freckles.
Last year many Were advised to
try mercolized wax. Such favora-
BILE results were reported that this
season you can have recommend
ed nothing else for the purpose.
The wax seems to possess unusual
properties which completely absorb
every freckle, with no harmful eff
feet. The complexion improves
wonderfully, becoming as soft as
rose petal, and as delicately tinted.
Get an ounce of mercolized wax
at any druggist, spread a thin layer
of 1t over the entire face every
night for awhile, washing this off
in the morning. For rough, red
skin, sallowness. blackheads, p.m-
pies, and all cutaneous blemishes,
this treatment is superior to any
that has ever come under my OBJ
servatfon.
Springtime also brings wrinkles
to many sensitive skins that are
much exposed to winds and chang
ing temperatures. Pour half
pint witch hazel into a basin, then
an ounce of powdered saxolite,
which quickly dissolves. Battle the
face in this; the effect on a wrin-
killed. skin is remarkable.-Advt.

One element insisted to remove

MISSING MINER
VISITED GRAVITY.
Robert Patterson of Throop. Had
Conversation With Mrs. Shaffer
on Thursday-Was Bound

Robert Patterson, the Throop
miner, who has been missing from
home since a week ago last Thurs
day, was in Gravity, Pa, on Thurs

respondent for The Tribune-Repub-
lican saw him and talked with him.
Mr.. Patterson disappeared ten days

feared that he had met with foul
play.
Following is the letter received
from The Tribune-Republican cor

WAYNE COUNTY POULTRY Asso-
CATION.

The Wayne County Poultry Asso-
citation have planned to make the ex-
hibit at the fair this year one of the
best in the history of the organiza-
ton. The services of ]. l.. Purple,
associate editor of the Poultry Item,
Pa. have been obtained
to judge the birds.
Mr.. Purple will be in attendance
all through the fair and will gladly
answer questions on poultry either
fancy or utility. Through his years
of experience Mr.. Purple is well fitted
for this duty, having visited large
number of the leading poultry farms
in the United States.
There will be on exhibition many
breeds that to the laymen are new.
Among these are the Campines, a
Belgian Breed noted for its beautiful
plumage and its ability as an egg
machine.
The Indian Runner Duck, the leg
horn of the duck family will also be
exhibited. 1t is hoped a pen of
Sicilian Buttercups will also be
shown. This is also a new breed in
this section, although they were first
imported from Sicily in 1862.
Don't forget to look up the poultry
building at the fair. If you have
some good birds don't be afraid to
exhibit them; in this way you will
learn their defects and the next year
try and weed it out.

BEAR ABUNDANT IN STATE
No Difficulty About Sport This Fall,
Say WeIl-known Sportsmen.

Bar huntin'" will be good in
Pennsylvania this fall, as, judging
from reports made to the State Game
Commission men, bruin is not only
abundant but in some of the north
ern counties comes pretty near to be-
ing a nuisance. Bears have been
breeding rather extensively in the
last half-dozen years and the ap-
pearance of a lively specimen is re-
ported from many camps this sum
mer, including those on State forest
reserves.
The bear season will not open un-
til October l and the law permits the
killing of an unlimited number of the
animals by hunters, and farmers and
woodsmen will probably bag many
through traps, although the use of
steel traps is now prohibited. The
bears have been reported in many of
the Central Pennsylvania counties
the last few years, some being seen
within a short distance of Harris
burg, and in mountain communities
the farmers have been bothered by
the depredations of bears close to
barnyards and in gardens.
Many reports of bears were made
to DR.. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary OF
the State Game Commission, on his
recent tour of the northern part OF
the State and he expects the season
TO be marked by some excellent bear
shooting. AS a rule DR.. Kalbfus
found game abundant in the state

conditions in the spring being favor.

ARRESTED FOR SELLING LIQUOR
WITHOUT LICENSE
Italian Laborers Sold Beverage by
Bottle Near Farview-Detective
Spencer's Nice Work.

Phillip Cherri and Tony PERI, two
laborers on the grounds at the Far
view Criminal Insane Hospital, ap-
peared before Esquire r. A. Smith
Wednesday morning, charged with
selling liquor without license, the
complaint having been made by De-
tective N. B. Spencer.
These Italians bought as high as
Is kegs of beer at a time. AT first
they drank the beer with their meals
and paid for the beverage as a part
of their mess" This was too tame
for some, which led to violating the
State law, selling without a license.
Esquire Smith told the prisoners
they had no right to sell the beer,
but could drink 1t at the table. He
held each under 500 bail. 1t is ex-
pected that the damages will be set
tied within a few days and the viola
tors released from Jail. They will,
however. be held for October term

FOR ARSON
Mrs. Anne Niemann, n Suspect, Com
mitted to Jail on Serious Charge
Evidence Strong Against
Her-Told Number of
Conflicting Stories.

Mrs. Anne Niemann, widow of the
late Charles Niemann, of River
street, was arrested for arson We'd
nesday morning in ]. B. Robinson's
insurance agency by Detective n. B.
Spencer.
The warrant was issued to the
complainant, Detective Spencer, by
Esquire r. A. Smith, after the form
er had made an examination of the
home of Mrs. Niemann, following
Tuesdays mornings mysterious fire.
From evidence gained Detective
Spencer felt justified in taking the
action that he did.
Mrs. Niemann was presented be-
fore Esquire Smith and before he
had chance to read the complaint to
her, Mrs. Niemann had the floor and
in fact kept it. The complaint read
for arson, wantonly and maliciously
and with intent to destroy and burn
said building, set fire to a certain
dwelling house belonging to Attorney
Frank P Kimble and situated across
the Farnham bridge, Honesdale, be-
ing the west side of River street.
Mrs. Niemann talked and talked
and then some more. In the mean
time Detective Spencer told the JUS
tice that he had made thorough ex-
animation of the place and had
found an old sweater thoroughly sat
urated with kerosene oil placed in the
studding of the said building against
the woodwork in the cellar of the
house. He also stated that paper,
straw, and old clothes were found
protruding in different parts of the
cellar. Matches were strewn upon
the floor and that fires were burning
in two places at the same time. He
related to Justice Smith how the fire.
men stated Mrs. Niemann told them
there was no fire in the building and
how she tried to prevent them from
entering the cellar. Mrs. Niemann
also told the justice that there was
no fire in the place. After listening
to the phonographic-like words that
fell out of Mrs. Niemann's mouth
the justice held Mrs. Niemann under
5000 bail. Being unable to secure
any one to go her bail Mrs Niemann
was turned over to Sheriff F. c. Kim
ble's custody.
After the fire Mrs. Niemann and
her daughter made several visits to
Mr.. Robinson's insurance agency
She said her claim for damage
amounted to SIS. The fire, by the
way, did not reach the first floor
and consequently no damage was
done to the contents, which are
meager. At one time the house was
nicely furnished but after Mr.. Me.
mann's death few months ago the
widow conducted a sale. Nearly all
of the household effects, it is claim.
ed, have since been disposed of
Mr.. Niemann carried $500 on hi!
machinery and secondhand article!
that he had for sale and a separate
policy Of $500 was carried on the
household furniture.
1t is claimed that Mrs. NiemanI
has means whereby she could give
security and be released from Jail.
She is a woman about 55 years O
age and has one daughter, who live
with her mother. The young lad,
has appealed to Scranton relative
for aid.

posed that before retiring Mr.. Ford

manner touched the gas cock,
which allowed the gas to escape.
From the position in which his body

room before being asphyxiated. He
leaves a wife and four children. Mr..
