Ar. Train Ar. The Underwear Story. 5,000 Pieces at Reduced Figures In a great big roomy factory, where the light and ventilation is perfect the underwear here offered were cut, put together and tnimti Not a stitch of "sweat, shop" inducts enters this store. The articles are made under conditions aa favorable as )n your pwn home: and sometimes better made.

And why not? Our underwear is tnade by specialists, one set of artist do tbe designing, another set the cutting; then expert aeamstresaea take the garment for making, while stilj another set does tbe trimming. Confining the different departments of work to one set of work peovle produces the finished perfection of the garments. Such procedure is not possible In your own sewing room. Further, such methods lessen the cost ot production the work progressing rapidly from department to department saves time, and time is money. Thus, under any condition of saying oo your part, ujader-garments are cheaper here than yoa can produce their counterparts la your own home, for you x-an provide neither time, materials, nor trimmings as cheaply as can the factory people.

But the story of this sale concerns ItseK about prices wtiich are lower still than the always low prices at which our garments are marked. It goes ticfc two month and (begin a contract for 5,000 The first Instalments of which we are now Jt 1 the largest single contract that ever went forth from a Luzerne county retail house, and was made under liberal conditions. Whenever try to suggest such libera) eavings as present conditions in our muslin wear stock present, we recognize the futility of trying to tell about things Chat ought to be seen for themselves.

with 'A'li-kes-Barre, -1Ioan's Kidney Pliis are a good kidney medicina. I know from personal experience. I troubled for a year or more with constant paUw across niy kidneys. Last fall I was so bail I couid not stoop or lift anything, and if I had to work under anyone I simply would have had to quit. Sharp twinges at times caught malt I made atir sudden movement and I had to stop right short twist myself around before I could on with what I was doing.

One day i was talking to a workman about the tor ture I endured from the pains in my back and he recommended Doan's Pills so highly tnat I got them and I have been thankful many times since. I was surprised to find how quickly they acted. They stopped those miserfi'Me pain in my back and I have had only a few slight attacks and a resort to Doan's Kidney Pills promptly dispelled them. I know of quite a number who have used Doan's Kidney PilU on my recommendation. Utaan's Kidney Pills for sale by all dealer: price 50 cents.

MINNEAPOLIS. May 23 Democra cy asserted Itself ir. the Presbyterian general assembly yaeterday afternoon. With a Mhout the assembly voted down two carefully considered and prepared plana to reduce the membership, one a third and the other oy more tnan half. The committee on reduced repre sentation, appointed a year ago.

was scarcely given courteous treatment, so pronounced was the feeling against getting farther away from- the people Two members of the committee pre sented the two proDoeed plans, one making the basis of representation t.OOO communicants and the other mak ing the basis thirty-slv ministers in the Presbyteries Instead of twenty-four, a at present. Col. F. T. Hitchcock, of the commlttre, arsued for the representation by synods according to member- shlD and declared that there was no doubt that 657.

the present memberhln of the assembly, was far too large. It was plain from the interruptions that Cotj.aiitchcock was on the unpopular ...1 1. A of the democratic spirit came out stroaclv-and profusely. Several brief speeches were maae against reducing the representation and when a motion was put calling for the discharge of the committee and the Indefinite postponement of the matter there waa a mighty "yes" and a feeble "no." The decision aginst another part of the Senate committee's report was closer. By a vote of 1S4 to 168 tbe assembly decided not to increase from i to 10.

the number of ministers neces sary to constitute a Presbytery. BOARD OF EDUCATION'. Or.tW. R. Kirkwood.

READING, May 21 Important fact a-trs tiilthel' at the opening f-u-n of ttw coroner's inqut ovtw the Heading railway wreck at Exeter, hich -wll) go ag toward filing the re- eponsibilky for tbe appalling list of 29 death In that disaster. While the most Important 'witnesses are yet to be examined, it is already proven bey on a 1 question that there was not over two mi tin tea at ivxeter between the run' rUg tuna of th feted cannon fcall ex press and the second! section, which crashed into it, FIVE MINUTE PLAN. tAocordlng to the statement made on the witness stand 4y Engineer Wil- demuih and Conductor Bromnier, who were is charge of toe cannon ex press, "if the- company' rule of Ave minute eetweea trains had not fteen violated the accident would cot have happened." That this, fact la realised by the officials of tbe road is evidenced by an order which has been issued since the Exeter wreck, making it imperative tnai mere shall be at least five minutes between trains by obliging tower men along the line to display danger signals that length of time after the passage or every train. It was testified vester day that had this rule been enforced before May 12, tbe calamity at Exeter sta tion would nave been prevented. Here tofore- it has baett customary tor sign aunen to lOksplay red light only as long as the oasaing train is in eight.

One of toe secondary cause that led to tbe wreck and the responsibility therefore, was apparently unearthed in the examination of Telegraph Operator warts as to the reasons for tbe delay of the coal train at Birdsboro which led to the order holding up the cannon ball at Exeter, ti warts declared that the coal train stood on the track 12 minutes without moving or doing any of the switching that it was stopped for. This unexplatnable delay, he said, was lecaus the engineer of the coal train claimed' he did not see the signal of his conductor and hrakeman. Apparently, ad this delay not take place the coal traia could have moved away in ample time to leave a clear track fur the express. It was not until some time later that the -breakage of a brake gear, oh. one of the cars of the coal train 'which decayed it 10 minutes more, was dlscovefed.

i-y VIOLATED RULES. 1 "While the testimony taken seemed to exculpate the train crew of the can-1 non ball express, from any for the accident, the point was brought out that it was a technical violation of the ruies of the eonwany for ithe i engineer to bark his train after being stooped' although -oth he en8 the conductor claimed justification lor it. Had the express not heeri run Iback a distance of from 200 to 300 feet the second section would have had chance to atop or at least reduce speed "before the crash came although Its rate of ppeedi was so great that even with the li rakes on a hard that fire flew from the tracewheels. Its speed JI5 not materiaav slacken before striking ine rear ui ine cannon van. Another point -of considerable Importance that -was developed was that there was no necessity in the order to atop the cannot ball express at Exeter.

When the train was held up by a red eemaiphore light and ran back to the station the telegraph operator gave a ''clearing' card: to the engineer on which was stated' that there was no orders for the train, the order to stop having been countermanded. The ex-" iwesa could have been allowed to ifcro- ceed. It was testified, without any fan- grer, as tne engineer was on toe mok-out for the coal train that had keen delayed at BirdsJwro. Hid the coming of the section 'been delayed 30 seconds the express would have again- been In fnotjon, nJ the accident would have Extraordinarily Attractive styles in men's hats for Spring and summer wear.
