The great danger from LaGrippe is not so much in the severity of the acute attack, for comparatively few deaths ccur from simple grip, but in the terrible after effects which so frequently follow it. When the nerves have been prostrated by the busy little grip germs and the whole system is in a relaxed and congested condition, it requires but little neglect or indiscretion to bring on bronchitis, pneumonia or quick consumption. Fortify the system with Dr.

Miles' Nervine and Grip will pass you by. But if you have it, or are suffering from its after effects, there Is nothing that will help you so quickly and so surely back to health and strength as Dr. Miles' Nervine and Tonic. Mr. H.

S. Bloes, who was appointed to purchase them, is doing everything in nis power to secure them as soon as possible.

Kinbaclt furni ture dealers, have been awarded the contract to build by hand work the secre tary ana other furniture for the new Odd Fellow's hall, which, when completed, will add greatly to the present neat and attractive lodge room, which hag been equipped with all modem improvements. Owing to the large number of sick and injured patients on their list, the Ontario Accidental society have been obliged to issue a 25 cent assessment on the members to meet the monthly benefits. The majority of injured members are foreigners, and It ft said that 75 per cent of the benefits are paid out to that class, and who are usually very slow in recovering from an injury, thereby reducing the treasury in a few years from a large surplus down to an amount insufficient to meet the monthly benefits, necessitating the first assessment other than for killed or discharged injured members since their organization.

THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 30,1899 CARBONDALE. Politics seem to be a dead Issue with the people of the city, there being but little interest shown in any of the offices.

Probably the greatest interest Is manifested in the fight for school director of the Third or Fourth wards, where there is a split in the Democratic party. This fight between the Democrats will surely effect the mayoralty, and Mr. Kilpatrick would be wise to watch it. P. F.

Hughes has placed Joseph Gallagher in the field in direct opposition to the wishes of the convention, which nominated Richard Kir win. Mr. Gallagher Is a popular young man, but lacks the executive ability necessary to a good school director, and runs but slight chance of being elected. Nevertheless it is to be regretted that he is being led about and almost forced into the fight by P. F.

Hughes. But the livelier our Democratic friends fight among themselves the better will be the chances of the Republican candidates, not only for ward offices, but throughout the entire city. The clique that has placed Mr. Gallagher in the field are evidently doing it for their own personal satisfaction and not for his own good, so that they may be assisted to gain their desired ends. Such schemes will never do.

THE NEXT PRINCIPAL. There is much speculation on who the next principal of the high school will be, nlthnnffh th nrese.nt incumbent's term does not expire until June. A friend tf the writer saw Mr. Thomas W. Loftus walking ud the avenue the other night, and pointing to him said, "There is the next principal of the high school to succeed H.

J. Hockenberry, and circumstances seem to bear out this assertion. Mr. Loftus will make an ideal principal and will command the respect of every pupil in the city. The board will act wisely in making him the choice for that place, providing the rumor that Mr.

Hockenberry has decided to leave for other fields is true. The professor is a man of thorough experience, having been principal of the high school of this city for many years. On the other hand, Mr. Loftus is a young man, fresh from a college, where he occupied several enviable positions. His many friends will be pleased to see him installed as principal of the city high school.

WELCOME NEW9. The Delaware and Hudson Canal company will, on Feb. 1, resume the shipping of coal to tide water via the Gravity railroad. This order will mean activity in the coal regions that has not been experienced in some months. THE COAL MINER.

At present the miners are working excellent time, which is beginning to show by the increase of business being transacted in the city. The theatres and other places of amusement are nightly crowded and the street car traffic was never better. The general business of the city is improved and is Btill improving. The "hard times" cry is a thing of the past and is seldom heard. Miners are contented.

That alone is a sign of the times. It doesn't take much to make the average miner happy. To him full time means contentment to all his senses. When he receives his compensation he spends it, and the merchants profit thereby. No one in the world has a less regard for money than the anthracite coal miner, and no one is more charitable than he.

He seldom grumbles, yet there is no man in the world more discriminated against. It Is shameful the manner in which promotions are made by the officials, who have their particular favorites. The company seldom if ever graduates a man because of his fitness, but because he is a relation or special friend of a boss of some company. The mine bosses are not ai wavs the brierhtest employes. However, this manner of promotion is changing, and of late the best men are given the Dest places.

LOVE CHARIS.

The love charm still lingers, the last link to the old days of ignorance and superstition when charms were believed to be powerful to cure disease and defeat death. The day of charms is gone, although some sweet miss now and again procures a love charm, not knowing that the greatest love charm of all is the beauty of perfect health. And this charm is in reach of every woman. When from the drains caused by feminine disorders, gins lose beau ty of form and fairness of face which men admire, they mny cure the trouble and renew strength and beauty by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

It overcomes all the ills peculiar to women. It imparts strength to delicate organs, stops the drains that sap vitality, restores the color to the cheek and roundness to the form. It brings health back and health itself is beauty. It is impossible for the face to bt fair or the figure shapely if there are pains, irregularities, displacements, drains, or weakness in the organs of womanhood. "I had female weakness very badly," writes Mrs.

O. 8. Adams, of Fargo, Cass N. Dak. 'I had to be in bed part of the time.

I was tired all the time, could not do my housework bad fainting spells, nervous headache, backache sod pain in my left aide, when I would lie down; bad pains and aches all over. I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Pnvorite Prescription and had not taken two bottles when I was able to be round again and to do my work, with no pain. I am now feeling better than for many years."

All fishermen in this section of the state will be compelled to vote Benjamin Franklin Von Storch, the "Izaak Walton," a premium belt for landing the biggest pickerel that was ever taken out of any lake in northern Pennsylvania. He and his brother, William Von Storch, took a fishing excursion trip to Lake Sheridan last Thursday. They had caught a few small fry pickerel, when B. F.

took a notion to change the programme. He had a big bite on a small line with a small hook attached thereto. He soon found that he had a monster hooked. The next important thing with him was to get the scaly trophy up through the small hole in the ice. By skillfully manipulating the scaly captive he finally drew the big mouthed fellow from its native element and landed it safely on the ice.

The fish was twenty eight and one half inches in length, fourteen inches In circumference, five and three quarter inches deep spread of mouth, four and one half inches and weighed six and one quarter pounds avoirdupois. Attest L. B. Green and several other equally reliable witnesses. MOSCOW Mrs.
