Tremendous Price Reductions ON LADIES' HIGH GRADE SUITS AND COATS ii THIEVES PAID VISIT TO THE BOOS HOUSE A bold robbery was perpetrated during the early hours of Monday mt ruing, when the home of John ffioos, of Carroll street, was entered and the first floor of the dwelling ransacked.

Mr. Boos conducts a saloon in the front of the building. The robbers made their way into this apartment and disposed of a considerable amount of the liquor on hand. The thieves the house uy f'iking a 'pane vol glass out of' the pantry window and unlocking it. After raising this window, little difficulty faced them, as to entering other apartments of the house, and they soon made their way to the sideboard in i the dining room.

After ransacking every drawer in the sideboard, they left this room with money from two purses, a half dozen silver table spoons and also a half dozen silver spoons. The thieves then went into the bar room and partook of a couple of bottles of the best whiskey. Several boxes of good cigars were scattered about the floor and one box of ten cent cigars is missing. When th? family came down stairs yesterday morning, the back door was wifle mien and an investigation reveal IliS'' THE WESTERN VIEW OF THE COAL TRADE Perhaps the most noticeable feature 1n the coal trade, for the week has been the hesitancy among coal users to commit themselves on contracts.

Mrs. James Clark returned, today to iher home in Towanda, aftr spend ing a few days among relatives and whatever to do with tne prices charged. In fact a good many of the consumers are inclined to admit that prices now are more favorable than th: are likely to be a little later on. We have found that no one who Is of the belief that prices for this year are going to be lower than at present Thus there is something more than the dissatisfaction with tire prices charged which is causing this delay. It is apparent, however, that something is holding the consumers back.

An investigation along that line proves that the buyers are somewhat in doubt as to how much coal they are likely to want. Their fuel needs will, of course, depend upon how much business they themselves have and the amount of business done by each coal consumer must depend in the main upon the status of business itself. Therefore the uncertainty or the buyer is the uncertainty of what business it seif is going to do toward the close of this calendar or coaf year. Vpon that sub.je it is impossible to to end her life last evening by drinking oil of cloves that was slightly tinctured with chloroform. The girl had been employed as a servant, but came home recently, and, according to the mother, she was in a highly nervous condition.

Last tvening, avout seven o'clock, during the absence of her mother, the girl had a slight dispute with an older sister, soon after which she went into the front room of the house and swallowed the contents of a bottle containing oil of cloves, which the mother had in the house to prevent toothache. Shortly afterward the girl was found lying unconscious on the floor of the front room. Members of the family applied restoratives and the girl recovered slightly, but again lansed into unconsciousness. Dr. Mc Ginty was then called and treated the girl.

She recovered consciousness and it is believed that she is out of danger, though she was still somewhat wak today. Shortly taking the poison, the girl asked her sister in law for a pencil and wrote a note in which she said: "I am going to kiil myself and go to my father." 424 Lackawanna Jrvenue, Scranton, Pa. friends in Pittston and Scranton.
