The lino Is to run from Sklppaek via

Two Mm s,- Thieves Cauiht
Two alleged horse thieves were neatly
trapped at Oollegeville ou Thursday.
They gave their names as Joseph Crow-ford
Olid Clarence White. Both aie.ol-ored.
Harly Thursday morning they
sought shelter for two thoroughbred
hotBOB at the Perklomen Bridge Hotel.
Suspicion was at once uroiiocd and word
was sent to the police.
These soon arrived on the limit for
Chester county horses which were missing.
After the prisoners were brought to Nor-rislowu
to await tho arrival of Chester
couuty olllcers, it wus leurnod that a
wagon was stolen from Frank X. Hoy, at
King of Prussia, this county. The wagon
whi.ii the prisoners used was Indentifled
by Mr. Hoy. The pi i.-. s then confessed
to liist having stolen a white mule near
West Chester, which they subsequently
trade"I off for a horse.
They rode the horse to Chester Springs,
where they abandoned that animal ami
stole two horses from Oscui .Moser, of
that place, which uuiiiials they had with
ti I when arrested. The prisoners were
held iu #1000 ball each to answer the lar-
OSni of Hoy's wagon.
Crude Oil to Lay the Dust
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
intends to sprinkle ciudeoll ou the Schuyl-klll
Valley Railroad system so as to pre-vent
the rising of dust, which has been a
source of complaints to all managers of
railroads for a number of years. Early In
the season tho company began experiment-ing
with the sprinkling of oil on the road-bed
and on each side of the track on the I
West Jersey Railroad. From tbe start '
the plan has proved a success, and It has
been found that on rondlieils which are
composed of gravid It will keep down the
dust as well as turn off the wattr.
The success the experiment bas met
with on the West Jersey ami Seashore
Railroads has led the ofllcers of tho Penn-sylvania
Railroad Company to try it on
Othei sections of the road. During the
last few days the oil-tank sprinkling cars
have been doing work on tho Delaware
division. This line is very dusty, owing
to the soil.
The county commissioners propose to
erect a new bridge over the WlasahlOkon
creek, at the Butler pike, near Ambler.
The road Is no longer a toll thoroughfare.

The American Business School Is In a
certain way tmlQUS), Its courses aro the
result of demands made by the business
Community and when duo allowance are
made foi the differences of environment,
It will be found that our best American
Commercial Schools compare favorably
with the best European Commercial
Schools. Competent observers, who have
visited ihe tb iiiinii Commercial School at
Leipzig, pronounce the business course of
Pierce Bohool of Philadelphia In many re-spect*
superior to that of the European
school. The shorthand department of
Pi. i.c School Is the largest shorthand
school In the State, It* faculty Is composed
of certified ex'ierioncod stenographers'
its typewriting equipment is probably the
largest in the world, and instruction in this
