3 artel 9 Cant CORN CURE TESTIMONIAL C. PAVITT. E. CENTRE MR. C.

Pavitt, Druggist, 21 E. Cenbe Shenandoah Dear Sit "After suffering with corns for a long time and having tried different remedies without benefit, I bought 15 cent bottle of PAVITT'S, (your own) CORN CURB which, I must say, perfectly cured me. Am feeling like a new man. I since then bought half a dozen more bottles for others and aT claim the same result. Yoa may publish this if yoa wish.

Tours respectfully, EDWARD BUCHANAN, EUsngowan, June '06 PAVITT. Druggist, si East Centre Street IN ELKS' PARADE Schuylkill County Elks made a big hit in the Elks parade in Philadelphia judging by the following printed in today's North American. The Schuylkill County lodges combined had the largest delegation in the big fifth division. Pottsville led the group with 125 men, Tamaqua had 120, Ashland 115, Mahanoy City 110 and Shenandoah 80, making 650 men under A. L.

Davis, of Tamaqua, marshal of the group. Mr. Davis' aides were R. J. Mills and Thomas Powers, of Pottsville; H.

J. Williams, H. W. Stang and R. F.

Roth, of Ashland; O. S. Lutz, of Tamaqua; William Watson and Charles Ditchey, of Shenandoah; David L. Thomas and M. J.

Ryan, of Mahanoy City. Same Style of Dress. All five lodges adopted the same style of dress, wearing blue serge suits white neglige shirts, purple ties, white shoes, straw sailor hats, with purple band and white umbrellas. At their head they had a flag which is more than 100 years old. The flag was made before the act of Congress changed the original flag, and has only thirteen stars.

The flag belongs to the Tamaqua delegation. With the combined lodges was Professor Frederick Gehard's Third Brigade of Pottsville, which played the 11 o'clock toast in front of The North American Building in the Court of Honor on Wednesday evening. The band has forty members, and is one of the leading bands of the state. The mining float was the main feature of the demonstration of the Schuylkill lodges, and was the most interesting and instructive float in the parade. Besides having the most members and the greatest number of bands, the Pennsylvanians had also two of three floats in the fifth division.

Both floats were local in what they represented, the float of the Juniata valley lodges, Tyrone, Lewistown and Huntington, showing the tepee of old Chief Logan, who at one time owned the entire Juniata valley, and Alfarata. Logan's daughter, who rode through the parade in her birch bark canoe, which she paddled toward the tepee on the bank of the Juniata river. The scene is that which is pictured on the badges of the Juniata delegation at the convention. Schuylkill County Float. The Schuylkill County float was the most interesting feature of the parade.

On it was built a slope entrance to a mine, similar to those seen throughout the coal regions. The entrance was built of mine timbers and inside it was a "breast" of coal, on which the miners worked along the entire route of the procession. The miners on the float were George Wilthue, James DeLong, John Wat-kins, Michael Gerrity, Samuel Eng land and Robert Ball. All of them are practical miners, and they demon strated truthfully the method used in cutting anthracite coal in the Pennsy lvania mines. All of the men wore their mine clothes and did not even forget to put the coal dirt on their faces and hands, carrying out their demonstration even to the sliitest detail.

The coal breast was built up of large chunks of an thracite mined at Pottsville. The miners used black powder in "knocking it down" as thej' do in the mines. Mule and Car. While two men worked the drill and put in the blasts, the others loaded the loose coal on a mine car brought from the coal regions for the parade. The car was on a track of steel rails at the front of the float, and to it was hitched a stuffed mule.

With their lamps burning on their caps, the men worked as though they were hundreds of feet under ground, and gave the best representation of coal mining that has ever been given in this city. All along the route of the parade the miners were cheered by the crowds, who watched them with interest as they ran from the "shot" after lighting the fuse and wait ed for the blast. Only a small amount of powder was used for each blast, knocking down a small quantity of loose coal. This left enough coal standing for the men to work on during the entire parade. Mayor Charles E.

Young, of Johnstown, who is the most popular Elk in his lodge, was marshal of the fifth division, and his aides were J. C. Evans, William Gray, Thomas Anderson and William France. Mayor Young's popularity in his home city was shown by the way in which the Johnstown Elks cheered him each time he passed the place where they were waiting for the formation of the parade. The lodges which paraded in his division, in their order of marching are: Johnstown, El Paso, Texas, Pottsville, Ashland, Tamaqua, Mahanoy City, Shenandoah, Jersey City, Tyrone, Lewiston, Huntington, Atlan-City, Camden, Davenport, Iowa, and Wilmington.

Artistic Job printing of all dlscrttlon done at the Hearld office. One of the most thrilling accidents in the history of mining occured at the Reliance colliery, Mt. Carmel, Wednesday, whereby Samuel Piatt was instantly killed and his brother John Piatt badly injured and the lives of many workmen jeopardized. The Piatt brothers both experienced miners, worked in No. 9 gangway, of No.

6 slope, which lies underneath the old Rhoades workings, abandoned for almost half a century. The brothers had suspected for soma time the existence of water above them, and decided to make a test, and accordingly a hole was drilled through 11 feet of coal, but only a small amount of water came through. The tapping was carried on before the men quit work on Tuesday and when they went to work the next day, they decided the place was safe and they fired a shot and then retired to await developments. The sound of the explosion was drowned by the terrible roar of water which rushed in with a mighty force before the men had time to escape. Samuel Piatt's body was battered beyond recognization and every bone in his body was broken.

His brother grasped a prop and held to it until rescuers arrived when he dropped Into the water unconscious. His skull had been fractured in the awful rush of water. The other miners who worked in the slope had heard the rush of water and managed to make their escape. The water has been drained from the affected part and the colliery is again in operation. Joseph Piatt, a former well known resident of town, is a brother of the dead miner.
