The former went there from Punxsutawncy and his relatives in that city have been notified of his untimely death. Pending receipt of word from them, no funeral arrangements have been made." Burns, who was very much affected by the unfortunate turn the altereaton had takeh, gave himself Into the custody of on officer and spent last night In the lockup at India. This mornig he was taken to jail ai Indiana. Burns is a son of .!. E. Burns, formerly superintendent of the coal company. "Johns, It appears, had been In the habit of giving to Burns, who was a bookkeeper for the Commonwealth Coal & Coke Company, his check to cash. This was done as usual on Saturday, the amount being paid to Johns' satisfaction. Yesterday, however, Johns approached Burns and, It Is said, accused him of withholding part of the amount called for by th<' check. Hot words followed, and the men came together. Burns, who was perfectly sober, si ruck Johns, who was the aggressor, an awful blow on the jaw, and the latter fell, his head hitting a steel rail. 'He was picked up unconscious and carried to his boarding house, where it was found that his skull had been fractured. He died soon after. The following account of the death of Robert Johns is a reprint of an article that appeared in yesterdays Johnstown Tribune: "India, a coal settlement in Indiana County, near the Westmoreland line, was yesterday the scene of a fatal fist fight, as the result of which William Burns is now in jail at Indiana charged with murder. The victim was Robert Johns, a young man who had been employed with a railroad construction crew at that place.

Rosenthal, president; Miss Mamie Cohen, vice president; SamuOl I Katzen, of Reynoldavlllc, treasurer: Miss Ida Rosenthal, secretary; Simon i ivrouse and I. Krlcgcr, trustees. It is the purpose of tile society in the near future to affiliate themselves j with the American Federation ol Zionists, located In New York City, whose idea it is to purchase land In their former home in Palestine and become a nation. Each society pays a certain amount per year into the Federation treasury together with a yearly shekel tax (twenty-five cents) from each member, which all goes to the nation fund. Beslds these there are various other methods of raising money employed. This is probably the only organlxl! (Ion of the kind in a town whose pop| ulntlon is t'.ie same as that of Punx- I sutawney. The membership at prcs. ent numbers thirty-five and will in all j probability be increased to forty-fivi or fifty within the coming month Every two weeks the members will meet, when ways and means will be discussed for promoting the work of the society and to encourage the study of Jewish literature. The lirst organization of a Zionist Society In Jefferson County was completed Sunday nliiht In this place when thirty-live of the Jewish younng folks of PunxBUtawney ancl vicinity, met at the home of J. L. Koiwnthal. on South Penn Street, and put the society a firm footing. The society will be known as the "B'nal Zton" (Children of Zion).

[ij! \ We are very much in earnest when we say that the weather conditior this season more than offset our course of business, but we could not forset :dver stocking of CLOTHING. This situation however, demands an aliowanct in price, and even have to make some sacrifices to unload.

What do you suppose I ate?—nothing: a weak stomach would put up with, you would think. Frankfurter sausage and saner kraut. I did not expect to keep It down, but, surprising to say, it Is doing fine, and seems to be getting along all right with its neighbor—rice pudding. The rating is certainly fine. Everything you can Imagine and flelielous at that —'grape fruit, oranges that are oranges, and such Juicy pears, peaches and apples, grapes white, nuts assorted. almonds out of shell, raisins on the stem, line desserts, I cannot remember half. Ice cream, both lunch and dinner. Meats in exfcry shape and form, fish also; tomatoes and lettuce, chicken and turkey, vegetables of all kinds, everything so dainty and nicely served, and lots : f it. I am very fortunate in having Airs. Oerikle and Mrs. Van OleVe as room mates, the latter you remember as having met on shipboard, is attending the S. S. convention as delegate rom her church in Minneapolis. She goes from Rome to Beyrult. Syria, to visit her daughter, Mrs. Nickols, a Presbyterian missionary. She is a lovely little woman. Mrs. ftenkle has been like a sister to me, ,'so kind and thoughtful of my comfort. Then I met a dear little woman from Texas. She has visited Kurope—the northern and central parts—but goes to Italy for the first time. She is quit© intelligent, and was delighted with Stoddard's lecture on Italy. I loaned it to her. Indeed, the book is a general favorite. It has been going the rounds. Incidentally she is ijIannis a trip around the world and wants me to join the party. Of course I could not promise. Madame Calve, the great singer is a passenger anil sits opposite me with a friend who has the reddest bronze hair I ever saw, and Baron DeForrst, who reminds me of the fabled liar— Baron Munchausen. May It.—Tills still finds us on the ocean, sailing;. Tomorrow at noon expect to sight the coast of Portugal, and Monday Gibraltar. We were quite Interested tills morning, watching the sailors prepare the ladders by which we get Into the boats to be taken ashore. We ore making Sit and oil miles In twenty-four hours. We have been going pretty fast today, but will not know our speed until tomorrow. The ocean has been smooth so far. This afternoon 1 went with a couple other ladles to visit the second cabin people. I can't write more, my head is swimming. Tills afternoon Madame Calve gave a concert, assisted by Madame Arrlghl, liron DeForest and others. Calve was In fine mood, and sal*' song after song. It was such a concert as one might not attend In a life time. It was held In the ills; dining room, decorated with the American and British ftagj. At the clone of the program those who could sing French helped with their national hymn in honor of Calve, and th«r> finished with America, in which we ail joined heartily. They sold the programs and lifted a collection. It was the cheapest first-class concert it was ever my privlege to attend, and especially with such distinguished guests. The proceeds go to the aid of Seamen's Charities at Liverpool and New York. We expect to reach Gibraltar about Mondy. I will mail this at Naples and will write you next from Rome. ELIZABETH TORRKNCE.

Monday afternoon, when the proprietor enrne Into the store the clerk was not on duty. Upon making Inquiries of tho other clerks he learned that his new recruit had gone to the ball game. Nothing further was said on the subject at the time and the business man fell to and assisted the force. Tuesday morning the proprietor came around early expecting to hand out a line of talk on the relation of employer to employee. The address he had outlined In his mind was never delivered. He merely said, "Come into the office and get your pay. You are discharged." This sudden determination to sever his relations with the new clerk, it Is said, whs not based on the incident of the previous day entirely. The straw that broke the camel's back was the fact that when the business man entered the store yesterday morning he found the clerk gingerly weighing out prunes with his gloves on. r ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦! ♦ All subscribers to The Week- ♦ ♦ ly Spirit who wish to change to ♦ ♦ the dally and have paid in ad- • ♦ vance on the weekly will be ♦ ♦ given credit on tho Dally for ♦ ♦ the amount they are paid 4 ♦ ahead on the weekly from June ♦ ♦ 1, and all who wish to change ♦ ♦ to the Dally will kindly notl- ♦ ♦ fy this office at once. ♦ Why dose the stomach to cure c«- tarrh of the nose and throat T Treat the disease locally with Hy-o-mel.
