PLAN IMPROVEMENTS IN THE LOCAL TROLLEY SERVICE Gas Company Confers Boon on Doting Parents for Coming Circus. 500 TICKETS GIVEN AWAY Oh, look here! Here's an excuse for BOO fond parents of Scranton, to see positively the last appearance of Buffalo Bill and his world famed circus. Of course they usually go to take the "kids." It Is also a chance for BOO boys In the city who don't need parental guidance to the big show to see the Wild West aggregation free.

This boon is being conferred on the populace by the Scranton Gas and Water Co. Here are some of the conditions boys, so get busy. If your parents have not yet learned the advantage of cooking with gas, especially during the summer months, convince them of the error of their ways. Get them to buy a gas stove from the company and a ticket will be given you free. The big show comes Here May 23 and this will be the last chance to see the great Indian fighter who will retire from the business at the close Of the season.

Of course this action on the part of the Scranton Gas Water is not confined to the boys. The girls, too, are Included in the offer; providing of course that they convince their parents of the economy of labor and money of using gas for cooking. Now it is figured out by those who claim to know, that even though the "grown ups" and "newly weds" don't have children to appreciate this offer, if they purchase the stoves, they will have a "circus" all to themselves during the hot summer, compared to standing over a hot coal stove. In this way probably more than 500 in the city will join in the "circus brigade."

Alfred Pennington. The audience was responsive and enthusiastic, being made up largely of well known musical people of this city, many of whom were introduced to Madam Langerdorff after the recital.

When she opened a dress suit case to yank out one of her gowns, her hands clasped a roll of bills.

Another grab ahd a suit of clothes, for men only, came to light. Then the truth dawned upon her. She had the wrong suit cast. The suit case contained mining and lumber stock, several suits of men's clothes, several photographs of babies, drafts on a Minneapolis bank and cards bearing the name "James L. Waldon, Grand Rapids, Mich." Either Miss Seaton or Mr.

Waldon had picked up the wrong suit case in a New York station Sunday night. Miss Edna Phillips loaned Miss Seaton a gown and she made her Bcrauton debut in that. The shock IE FOB" I 60c to 95c Values at 45 yd. i fined to his home on South Wnshin ton avenue, with a slight illness. Elmer Ehrhardr.

AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR SCIATICA A New York State Man Tells How He Cured Himself at Home of This Painful Disease. The rpawn that, sciatica so often recurs after the ordinary treatment is not because it is incurable but because these treatments fail to remove its cause. Sciatica in a form of neuralgia and has been correctly called the cry of the starved nerves for better blood.

Its most common cauie is debility. In every cane of sciatica it will be found that the general health is run down and that consequently the nerves are not receiving sufficient nourishment. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills afford the most effective treatment for sciatica and neuralgia. They build up the general health and fully nourish the underfed nerves in the only possible way by building up and purifying the blood.

Mr. John S. Wells, whose address is Box 32, North SyrartiNe, N. recommends Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for sciatica.

"I suffered for six months from sciatica and failed to get relief from the doctor's medicines. Sly limbs pained me dreadfully and my kidneys were affected. I had palpitation of the heart and there was always a great deal ol pain over I had no appetite, my liver was out of order and my head ached a great deal. I was in bed a good part of the time, but was so nervous that 1 had to get up and move about. I went all to pieces physically and was nothing but skin and bones.

"After the doctors gave me no relief, my wife nt for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Before I had taken three boxes ol them I felt so much better that I continued until I was cured. I gained in weight and never felt better iu nij life." Neuralgia is an unfailing warning that the nervous system is feeble because there is a lack of pure red blood and, therefore, a lack ol nourishment to the nerves. This dependence of the nerves upon the blood for their nourishment and health is fully described in our booklet, "Diseases of the Nervous System," which is free upon request.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 60 cents per box six boxes for f2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Sdieuectady, N. Y. Pretty Social Event Was Held at the Saar Home Last Evening.
