Bad Roads.

The roads are now in worse
condition than for several years,
The frost came out of the ground
just before the big snow of a
week ago last Tuesday, and when
the snow melted the water went
right down into the loose ground
from the frost coming out. The
ground took most of the water
from the snow, and now-well,
it is almost impossible to gel
anywhere with a wheeled vehicle,
Verify, there is plenty of mois'
ture in the ground.

Avoid Harsh Drugs.
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause
Injury to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipa'
ton, you should avoid strong
drugs and cathartics. They only
give temporary relief and their
reaction is harmful and some
times more annoying than con-
stipation. They in no way effect
a cure and their tendency is to
weaken the already weak organs
with which they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we
have the best constipation treat
ment ever devised. Our faith in
il is so strong that we sell it on
the positive guarantee that it
shall not cost the user a cent ii
it does not give entire satisfac'
tion. This preparation is called
Rexall Orderlies. These are
prompt, soothing, and most eff
fective in action. They are made
of a recent chemical discovery.
Their principal ingredient is
odorless, tasteless, and colorless.
Combined with other well-known
ingredients, long established for
their usefulness in the treatment
of constipation, it forms a tablet
which is eaten just like candy.
They may be taken at any time,
either day or night, without fear
of their causing any inconven-
ience whatever. They do not
gripe, purge, nor cause nausea.
They act without causing any
pain or excessive looseness of the
bowels. They are ideal for
children, weak, delicate persons,
and aged people, as we'll as for
the most hearty person.
They come in three size pack
ages, II tablets, 10 cents; SO tab
let's, rs cents; 80 tablets, so cents.
Remember, you can obtain them
only at our store-The Rexall
Store. M. E. Reddy.

St. Marks Church.

Sunday, March 3, will be the
second Sunday in Lent. The
Collect will be as follows:
Almighty God, who seest
that we have no power of our
selves to help ourselves; keep us
both outwardly in our bodies,
and inwardly in our souls; that
we may be defended from all ad-
versities which may happen to
the body, and from all evil
thoughts which may assault and
hurt the soul; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen"
The Epistle is from l Thess.,
4th chapter, beginning as fol-
lows: I'VE beseech you, breth-
rem, and exhort you by the Lord
Jesus, that as ye have received
of us how ye ought to walk and
to please God, so ye would
abound more and more"
The Gospel is from St. Matt.
18th chapter, beginning with
the 21st verse: Jesus went
thence, aud departed into the
coasts of Tyre and Sidou. And,
behold, a woman of Canaan came
out of the same coasts, and cried
unto him, saying, Have mercy on
me, o Lord, thou son of David;
my daughter is grievously vexed
with a devil. But he answered
her not a word. And his disci-
pies came and besought him,
saying, Send her away; for she
crieth after US. But he answered
and said, / am not sent but unto
the lost sheep of the house of
Israel. Then came she and wor-
shipped him, saying, Lord, thelp
me. But he answered and said,
1t is not meet to takei the chill
dren's bread, and to cast it to the
dogs. And she said, Truth Lord;
yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their masters
table. Then Jesus answered and
said unto her, o woman, great is
thy faith; be it unto thee even
as thou wilt. And her daw --tSr
was made whole from that very
hour"
Services will be held at St.
Marks church at 8 o'clock in the

vited. The sermon and services

ious belief, you will surely be

Fell 73 Feet.

Tom Clark, living south of
this city, was trailing rabbits
last Thursday, and the trail led
onto the old shaft of the Indiana
Mining Company. The heavy
snow entirely covered the mouth
of the shaft, and Clark walked
right out onto it. Of course the
snow would not hold him up,
and he went down, down, down.
The shaft was 73 feet deep to the
water, and the water is % feet
deep. Clark came up snorting
like a rhinoceros, but found he
was not hurt, and tried to climb
out. He fell back, however, and
finally found a projecting rock
he could stand on. About 6
o'clock in the evening some of
his folks went out to hunt him,
and tracked him to the shaft.
Calling for help, he responded
and help was secured, and he
was pulled out, not very much
the worse for the fall.
But say, Tom had time to
think over a whole lot of things
the three or four hours he was
down in the shaft.

OCTOGENARIAN KILLS
HIMSELF AT HAWLEY.
Charles Damereau, Aged SS Years,
Uses Clothes Line to End His
Life-Made Other Attempts
Was Mentally De-
ranged.

Charles Damereau committed sui
eide in Hawley Tuesday afternoon by
hanging. Mr.. Damereau was SS
years of age and was affected with
senile dementia at the time
he took his life. He lived with his
daughter, Mrs. Frank Bea on Belle
monte street, Hawley, where he had
a pleasant home. The family tried
to make his life as enjoyable as pos
sible, but old age and its intirmities,
together with no occupation, brought
on melancholy and a desire to end
his life followed. Mr.. Damereau
was found by his granddaughter,
Miss Louise Coutious, of Brooklyn,
who was visiting at the home, when
she went to her grandfather's room
to call him for supper at 6:30 as it
was his custom to rest every after
noon after dinner.
A horrible sight met her eyes. In
sitting posture was the dead body
of her grandfather. He had a rope
twisted around his neck, which was
fastened to a clothes hook in a
closet. Near by was a small box
which gave evidence that he had sat
upon the box and then showed it out
from underneath him and strangled
to death.
Miss Coutious gave the alarm to
the household and DR.. A, C. Voigt,
of Hawley, was called. He pronounc-
ed life extinct. Coroner p. b. Peter
sen was then summoned. DR.. Peter
sen claimed an inquest was unneces-
sary, owing to the mental condition
of the elderly man.
1t is stated Mr.. Damereau attempt
ed to take his life on two other oc-
casions with some sharp instrument.
One time an incision was made on
his wrist and another time he cut
his throat.
Mr.. Damereau had been a resi-
dent of Hawely for about a year
having previously lived near Wilson
Vile. He Is survived by two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Frank Bea, OF Hawley
and Mrs. Thomas Coutious, of Brook
lyn, also by several grandchildren.
The funeral was held on Thurs
day.
The family have the sympathy OF
their many friends.

SWAT THE FLY.
Win The Citizens so Gold Prize
II Will he Awarded to the Boy or
Girl Bringing the Greatest
Number of Dead Flies to
This Office.

Say boys, the $40 prize offered to
you for killing the largest number of
flies during this summer, Is awaiting
you at The Citizen Office
Now is fly harvest time. Without
much difficulty 100 or more flies
could be caught in a day by using
fly traps.
What boy or girl can earn $40
easier than by killing flies? Swat
them, kill them by placing poisoned
fly paper in room. Don't use
sticky fly paper for contest pur-
poses. 1t will not be allowed. Get
all the flies you can, anyway you
can, bring them to this office and at
the end of the season you will get
a reward. Perhaps you will be sue
cessful in obtaining the $40 prize
and then you may only get the con-
ISOLATION prize, but that is IS. Are
not these prizes worth trying for?
Who will be the lucky boy?
We say boy, yes girls are eligible,
too. But, boys, will you allow the
girls to get ahead of you?
The contest is now well under way
and the enthusiasm is waxing warm.
Contestants can enter at any time.
All that is necessary is to bring
your catches to The Citizen Office
from time to time. The flies, which
must be dead, will be carefully
counted and the contestant credited
with the number of flies he or she
kills. A series of fytraps could be
| placed in different stores-the pro-
| prietors won't object to them be-
cause they want to rid their places
OF business of this pest. Every 9TH
er day collections could be made
and the flies brought to The Citizen
Office.
You cannot increase your bank ac-
count easier than by killing flies.
If you do not want to work for the
$40 prize bring what flies you get
and The Citizen will give you sc
per gill, zoe per pint or 40c per
quart for them. If you desire to do
this we will do our part. Send in
the flies.
Seven cases OF typhoid fever in
Scranton at the Hillside Home were
pronounced to have been caused by
flies carrying the deadly germ into
that home. Do you want this to
happen in your private home? Then
swat the fly.
There are two months, August
and September, before The Citizens
fly contest closes. If you have not
started to kill this most deadly and
harmful animal do so now. Be-
gin to-day. Remember that $40
gold prize. 1t would swell your bank
account; you would be that much
happier and the time spent in killing
the flies would be yours owing to va.
cation.

ATTEMPT TO KEEP Wife FROM
HUSBANDS FUNERAL
Relatives of Late Thomas Dolphin
Ask Wife's Uncle, VIM. Jayne, to
Stay Away From Funeral of
Murdered Man-Also Dolphin's
Wife,

An unpleasant feature developing
from the murder of Thomas Dolphin
of Waymart, a Delaware and Hud-
son section boss, who was shot and
killed by Marsden Hubbard on Sun
day last, took place on Monday last
when Dolphin's relatives told Will
liam Jayne, uncle of the murdered
mans wife to go home after he had
gone to Jessup to attend Dolphin's
funeral. Mr.. Jayne, it is alleged,
was told that it would be more har-
monious for him if he would not
stay, but to take the next train to
Waymart. The relatives also told
Mr.. Jayne that if Mrs. Dolphin, the
murdered mans wife, had planned
to attend the funeral that they
would consider it a great favor If
he Uayne) would notify Mrs. Dol
phin that she, too, was not wanted
to attend her husbands funeral.
Mr.. Jayne returned on the very
next train from Jessup where out of
the kindness of his heart, he went to
attend the funeral. He arrived at
Carbondale and was met at the sta
ton by his son, who told him that
Mrs. Dolphin had left Waymart
about noon, having secured a livery
rig and drove to Carbondale, TAX
ing the l o'clock train for Jessup.
Mr.. Jayne did not meet Mrs. Dol
phin in Jessup, his train passing
hers enroute. He returned to Way
mart with his son..
Not attend her husbands funer-
al, The feeling of Mr.. Dolphin's
relatives must be wrought up far be-
yond the normal when they would
offer the slightest objection to the
widow of the unfortunate victim TAX
ing part in the sad obsequies of her
late husband. Undoubtedly upon
more matured deliberation no rea-
son could possibly suggest itself why
she and her uncle may not be
present without any undue or exag-
gerated Importance being attached
to their actions. But the actions of
people under circumstances sur
rounding the unfortunate affair can
not be judged by any rule of con-
duct which ordinarily applies to the
conduct of men.
