VOL. 29. MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1901. NO. 25.
MANY NICE
POCKET PIECES
That Have Been Preserved by
Henry W. Stoner.
ONE IS A FIVE DOLLAR NOTE
THE FIRST ISSUED BY THE LOCAL
FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
“Uncle Henry” was an Original Stock-holder
in That Institution of Which
He has been President for Almost a
Quarter of a Century. An Old Knife
Which He Bought in the Days When
Counterfeit Money was Plenty.
A JOURNAL scribe had the pleasure
the other day of looking at some of the
pocket pieces which Henry W. Stoner,
president of the First National Bank of
Mount Pleasant for the past 22 years,
has had for many years.
One of the curios is the first $5 bill
issued by that institution. It looks as
if it might have just come from the
government press. It bears date of May
2, 1864, and is signed by C. S. Overholt
as president and the late John Sherrick
as cashier. It was laid aside by John
D. McCaleb who was at that time a
clerk in the bank and who afterward
gave it to Mr. Stoner, one of the original
stockholders. The owner admits his
laying away of the bill was poor busi-ness
as it would have earned him, at
compound interest, some $42. The bill
is No. 1 of the A series. Mr Stoner
also has the seventh $1 bill put out by
this bank the next year, an issue that
w'as soon abandoned.
In addition to a Confederate $5 bill,
dated Richmond, Va., September 2nd,
1861, that is not yet due as the southern
government hasn't been recognized.
“Uncle Henry” has a $5 counterfeit bill
on the Toledo branch of the Ohio State
Bank, which with fourteen others of a
like denomination was passed on him
while he was collector of taxes out in
East Huntingdon township over fifty
years ago. He was out by the opera-tion
all except $2.50 which a loyal Ohio
drover gave him for one of the tills.
Mr. Stoner also has a knife that he
has carried since the fall of '48. Both
sides are gone and the blades worn to
pin points that, however, come in han-dy
for picking splinters from his grand-sons'
fingers or lancing their stone
bruises. Mr. Stoner bought the knife
from David Tinstman who kept store
at Bridgeport. The price was 75 cents
and “Uncle Henry” said he’d give a bad
dollar bill for it. The storekeeper ran
his magnifying glass over the note,
swept it into the till and handed the
customer the knife which the owner
has carried with him every day since.
COMERS AND GOERS.
Saw the English Derby.
John Parfitt, who is running the
Hotel Parfitt like a veteran in the ab-sence
of his father, George, had a second
letter from the latter Monday telling of
the royal good times the elder is having
visiting his relatives and boyhood scenes
in England after an absence of 35 years.
His presence has done more for a sick
sister than ten years of doctoring.
George also tells of the fan he had at
the Derby the other day when ex-Secre-retary
of the Navy Whitney’s horse
with the awful Russian name came in
first. Two of Mr. Parfitt’s nephews are
members of Parliament.

Turtle Creek Murder.
The dead body of A. J. Layton, of
Turtle Creek, a car inspector on the
Pennsylvania railroad, was found near
East McKeesport Monday night. As
the skull was crushed and three bullet
holes found in the head there is no
doubt but that the victim had met with
foul play.
Robbed ofHard Earned Wealth.

worker at the Continental No. 3 plant,

as a skinny little fellow about 30 years
of age, with light hair, dark eyes, red
face, a small dark mustache and the
number of the Austrian regiment in
which he served tattooed on his left
forearm. There were 700 German marks
in the money taken.
Sheep Killed By Lightning.
Lightning Monday evening killed six
sheep in a peculiar manner on the farm
of John Jones at Cireleville. The
animals were running for shelter and
were stopped by a barbed wire. While
standing there a bolt struck nearby and
the shock conducted by the wires threw
the sheep to the ground. When the
owner reached them shortly after everj-one
was dead.
A Clever Country Girl.
It is said that Miss Jean Wiley, a
Sewickley township girl of some thirty
summers, has cleaned up some $50,000

in West Virginia. She has also
patented a book-case and sold it outright
to a Chicago firm at a good round figure.
Caught With Stolen Goods.
John Taras, a Slavish coke worker at
Acme, was arrested Tuesday and sent
to jail at Greensburg the next day,
charged with having stolen a lair of
trousers from L. Levinson, -e West
Main street merchant. The goods were

LIVELY SHOOTING SCRAP
OVER GAME OF CRAP.
The Principals Are Jeff Brooks and John Irvin, Two Well Known
Morewood Colored Men Who are Now Both In
Jail At Greensburg on Cross Suits.
C0NTSABLE THOMPSON’S LONG REVOLVER SHOT.
Murder came near being done at
Morewood Saturday over a game of crap
in which the colored players suffered
from two much booze.
Among the participants were Jeff.
Brooks and John Irvin who, it is said,
has just done a five year term in the i
penitentiary for felonious shooting in
Washington county. Trouble began
when he threw away two nickels. The
lost money didn’t belong to Brooks, bnt!
he took the matter up and both men
went for their gnns.
Brooks got his pistol first and went to
the home of George Thompson, where
Irvin boarded and was at that time up
stairs. The caller stated his business
and while parleying with Thompson
Irvin heard the noise and came down, j
As soon as he got outside the house the
battle began.
Brooks was the better shot and put a
bullet through tbe nostrils of Irvin who
at once rushed to close quarters, a clinch
following. Throwing his left arm
about Brooks' neck Irvin placed the
tnnzzle of his revolver to Jeff's temple
and fired. Tbe bullet plowed its way
around Brook’s skull, passing out at the
back of his head and into the shooter’s
arm. The two men then broke away,
Brooks taking a car slat and almost
breaking Irvin’s right arm. At this
point friends interfered and stopped the
scrap, word being sent here for an
officer.
Constable Jack Thompson, with
George Henderson as bis deputy, was
soon on the scene in a buggy. Irvin
was found at his boarding house and
arrested without any trouble; bnt,
Brooks started to run as soon as he saw
the officers. The constable called halt
in vain and then tried a shot in the air,
the only effect being to increase the
fleeing man’s speed.
There were so many people around
! that Jack was afraid to risk a second
shot until Jeff was over 200 yards away
going in a bee line west. The constable
dropped to his knee and, taking a low
and careful aim with his long barreled
j 38 Colts, let go. He had the satisfaction
of seeing Mr. Brooks begin to run lame,
for, the bullet had nipped his right heel.
Bnt, all the puff was out of Jack's fat
frame that bears the scars of two wars,
| and he had to slacken his pace, leaving
the race to his long legged deputy who
finally ran Brooks down in a clump of
bushes on the D. S. Fox farm where he
surrendered.
The prisoners entered cross suits for
felonious shooting against each other
before Justice Rhoades who held both
under $500 bail for court. As neither
could furnish bond, both were taken to
jail at Greensburg Tuesday.
HARD ON THE EYES.
How John Tarr Came to Play the Private
Detective Role.
The loss of his wife’s pie and the dress
coat of his neighbor, Charles Ganse, en
gineer in charge of the H. C. Frick
Company's mines in this division, arti-cles
which a sneak thief took Monday
night, didn't even ruffle John T. Tarr's
tember a bit; in fact, he laughed at both
victims. He got madder than a whole
drove of March hares, however, when
he discovered that he' too had been
“touched” for his pair of dress shoes,
and determined to camp on the trail of
the thief who, he reasoned, was pretty
sure to visit Wednesday's show.
John was, therefore, on the lot at day-break
and, from that time until the last
wagon left the ground, he was there
looking for the man with his shoes or
Mr. Ganse's coat; but, he looked in vain.
As he ran his eyes over every male
member of the big crowd John was
nearly blind when through with the
job and so tired and disgusted that he
slipped down home to bed by the alley
way.
ONE MORE VICTIM.
TEMPORARY QUARTERS
Total Number of Deaths at Port Royal
Now Nineteen.
Thomas Smith, of Smithton, who was
injured by the explosion of gas in the
Port Royal mine of the Pittsburg Coal
Company, died Saturday night in the
McKeesport Hospital. The total num-ber
of dead is nineteen. Several at-tempts
were made during the past week
to recover the bodies still in the mine.
It was rumored that the insurance
companies had protested against paying
the policies held by Superintendent
McCune and others who had risked their
lives in the rescuing party, and who
were killed, on the grounds that the
hazard taken was against certain claus-es
in the policies, and that since Mc-
Cune and others did not pay the rate
covering coal miners, they violated
clauses in their policies when they went
into the gaseous mine. It is thought,
however, that the companies will in the
end pay the policies in full.
To PriBon for Life.
Thomas Rohland, the convieted West
Newton wife murderer whose death
sentence was commuted to life imprison-ment
by the Board of Pardons because
of the condemned man’s weak mind,
was taken yesterday to the penitentiary.
Fatal Horseback Ride.
A Slavish girl named Johnston, whose
parents live on what in known as the
A. C. Cochran farm, east of Acme
postoffice, was thrown from a horse
Tuesday and so badly injured that death
soon followed. The victim was 20 years
of age.
Secured for Court Purposes Until the
New Building; is Finished.
On Saturday last Judges Doty and
McConnell and the County Commission-ers
awarded the contract for erecting a
temporary building on South Main
street in which to hold court and store
the records during the erection of a
new court hofise. Tbe contract was
secured by George Good, who is to re-ceive
as rental $10,000 for two years or
mote if the new building is not com-pleted
in that time.
The temporary building is to be fire-proof
and is to be completed by August
28. At that time the razing of the old
court house will be begun and a month
later the work on the $800,000 structure
will be started.
SLICK PICKPOCKETS.
They Escape After Being Sentenced at
Uniontown.
At Uniontown Wednesday Henry
Brown and George Monroe, two notori-ous
pickpockets, were sentenced to three
years each in the penitentiary. They
were then sent to the grand jury room
where the other prisoners were in wait-ing
and shortly afterwards they were
missing and cannot be found. The
deputy in charge says they picked the
lock and escaped unobserved. The court
and district attorney are indignant.
James Nolan, convicted of voluntary
manslaughter for the murder of his
father in-law, John Grindel, of Con-nellsville,
got the full limit—twelve
years.
A Lucky Justice.
Justice McWilliams had the pleasure
of officiating at three weddings at his
Main street office this week. Mr. John
Ramsay and Miss Mary Haraway, both
of the new Acme coke works, started
the matrimonial ball rolling Monday
evening and were followed the next day
by Pasquale Fultenci and Miss Anna
Vesta. Mr. John W. McGinnis, adver-tising
agent for a McKeesport land con-cern,
and Miss Lulu Bowlen were the
third couple for whom “Mac” tied the
nuptial knot Wednesday evening,
Temperance Crusade.
At a meeting of the Anti-Saloon
League held in the First Lntheran
church at Greensburg Monday evening,
ministers of various congregations in
town were present and a committee was
named to issue a call and fix the date
for a county convention. Letters will
be addressed to every preacher in the
in the county. Local societies will be
organized and the work of carrying on
a temperance crusade will be done in a
methodical manner.

CARLINVILLE, ILLS., Junel6, IDOL
EDITOR JOURNAL:—In my boyhood
days I learned a song which began:
“To tlic west, to the west, the land of the free,
Where the mighty Missouri rolls down to
the sea."
and, acting on Horace Greely’s advice
to young men, I have gone west, but
have not yet got so far as the rivermen
tioned in the song, although I have
crossed the great Father of Waters sev-eral
times.
Since leaving my home in Mount
Pleasant on Memorial Day, I arrived in
this city on Jnne 4th, having spent sev-eral
days with friends in Pittsburg be-fore
coming here. I came out by the
same route I did a year ago when I vis-ited
in this state. I passed through
many towns and cities on my way and
saw much of this part of the great
west, bnt the greatest pleasure of all
was to know that I passed through
Salem, Ills., that town which gave to
the world the greatest statesman and
orator and purest patriot of the age. I
met two drovers on the train who were
returning home from taking two car-loads
of cattle to the eastern market,
and, after listening to their blowing, I
came to the conclusion that they were
second only to some members of an east-’
ern school ijoard.
The season is far more advanced here
than it is in the east. Corn is more
than knee high, wheat fully three feet,
while oats, potatoes and all kinds of
garden vegetables are doing splendidly.
While crossing the state of Illinois I
saw men making clover hay and doing
other kinds of harvest work. If nothing
further occurs there will be a tremen-dous
crop of apples, peaches, plums, etc.
The dry season is on now and farmers
are beginning to complain about it,
claiming that if it doesn't soon rain the
hay crop will be somewhat short.
G. W. FULTZ.
COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest Gathered From Both
Mine and Yard.
The Hecla Coke Company is preparing
to erect a third plant of 309 ovens on
the farm just east of its No. 1 plant at
Hecla. This will give the company a
total of 1,072 ovens.
The McClurg Artificial Gas Company
has made a successful test at its new
plant near Irwin where it is said the
fuel made from slack coal is made so
cheaply that it will come in competition
with natural gas.
The newly organized Possnm Glory
Coal and Coke Company, composed of
Philadelphia capitalists, has, it is said,
35,000 acres of Indiana connty coal
which it will develop at once. The
capital stock of the concern is $3,000,000.
Andrew Mellon, of Pittsburg, has
just purchased the entire stock of the
Repnblic Coke Company, which owns
3,200 acres of coking coal in the Klon-dyke
region, Fayette county. It will
propably be used by the Union Steel
Company.
The recent disaster at Port Royal may
have the effect of closing the Grindstone
mine, near Brownsville. Mine Inspect-or
Isaac Roby, who believes the mine
to be unsafe, has asked Chief Mine In-spector
Roderick to visit it with him.
The mine is very gaseons and it is said
that danger is attendant upon the use
of electric mining machines.
Judge Gary and other officials of the
United States Steel Corporation, includ-ing
President Lynch and General Super-intendent
Kennedy, of the Frick com-pany,
visited Standard Friday afternoon
while making a tour of the region in
two Pullman cars. Edward Converse,
one of the steel magnates, was arrested
at Greensburg the next evening by
Sheriff May. The warrant was taken
out by James L. DeVenney, of Me-
Leesport, who charges Mr. Converse
with failure to account for sale of trol-ley
stock. The defendant gave bail to
appear at Greensburg in September.
D. W. Slonecker, of this place, was
yesterday given the contract for large
brick machine shops for the Hecla Coke
Co.’8 Nos. 1 and 2 plants, besides a few
houses and other smaller buildings.

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED
rorNTY FAIRS.
The question of liow to manage the
amusements which custom has nsso-ciateil
with our county fiiirs Is quite
a live one ami forms a subject for dis-cussion
at many of the farmers’ Insti-tutes.
In ninny counties the horse
jockey, the fakir and the Midway
fiend run the fair to the disgust of all
decent people who have the old fash-ioned
Idea that the county fair Is main-tained
for tlie purpose of advancing
the best interests of agriculture. It Is
evident that the question of nmuse-tneuts
cannot be ignored, for the ma-jority
of the people want entertain-ment
ns well ns instruction when they
attend. The horse race will always be
a drawing feature, and we see no
good reason why it should be aban-doned
when the business is done on
tlie square, the fact being that a man
has got to be a thirty-third degree dea-con
to deny himself the pleasure of
seeing a square race between two or
more good horses. Those good people
who fear they will lie tempted to bet
on the race If they see it had better re-main
in the art hall while the races
are in progress. The fakir—the ped-dler
of useless novelties, gltncracks
and the like—does no particular harm
if he is charged enough for the privi-lege.
Youth and verdancy have long
felt wants, and tlie fakir supplies
them. The other types—the chap with
Ihe shell game, wheel of fortune and
the hundred and one straight gambling
devices and the Midway fakir who ad-vertises
varieties of human cussedness
for a quarter a peep which he is too
wise to give his patrons—are simply
public nuisances and if licensed by tlie
fair officials and permitted to operate
by the officers of tlie law should be
promptly “nationalized” and tumbled
unceremoniously out of the grounds
by the lovers of decency and good mor-als.
We have long believed that fair
officials could Increase tlie premiums
offered for tlie best things owned and
produced by the farmers of the county
—for Instance, $40 for the best proper-ly
attested milk record of any cow of
any breed or for tlie best teaiu of walk-ing
horses of the draft breeds, $15 for
the sow showing tlie largest and best
litter of pigs. $25 for the best single
driving horse, $25 for the best trained
pair of work horses, $20 for the heav-iest
calf 0 months old, $25 for the boy
under 15 years of age who had raised
the greatest value of crops on one acre
of land, $25 for an old fashioned wres-tling
match between farmers’ sons, $10
to the boy who could show up the most
gopher scalps, $5 for the best made
calico dress and pair of overalls made
by a farmer’s daughter under 15 years
of age, $25 to tlie draft team which
could pull the heaviest load, good pre-miums
for the best home smoked and
cured hams and bacon, the best home-made
farm cheese, the best certified
acre of corn—the good purses to go on
those lines which would best promote
interest among farmers and practically
promote the agricultural interests of
the county where such fair is held.
A gentleman gravely informed Ills
Scorers at a farmers’ institute recently
while discussing potato culture tlint
care should be used not to mix varie-ties
of the potato when planting, ns tlie
fact of fertilization of the blossoms
would result in mixing the potatoes iu
the hill. lie was wrong. The potato
always comes true to the seed planted.
The pollenizatlou affects only the seed
halls, not the tubers. New varieties of
the potato are obtained wholly from
the little seeds found In the potato
balls.

TIIK MOUNT OLKASANT JOURNAL, FRIDAY, JUNK 21, moi.
As Judged From the Past Week's
Trade Reports
WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED
FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS
OF THE JOURNAL.
The Agricultural Bureau has Confirmed
the Private Estimates on the Wheat
Crop Made Some Time ARO and this
Gives That Line aTone ofGreater Con-fidence.
Confirmation by the agricultural bu-reau
of recent private estimates of the
wheat crop has given to business a tone
of greater confidence. Retail operations
both east and west are larger and dis-tribution
of merchandise by the whole-pale
trade is increasing in drygoods and
boots and shoes. The labor situation is
gradually mending, with the apprecia-tion
of the fact that in some directions
manufacturers would be glad of a tem-porary
shut-down of works.
Pig iron production on June 1 was at
the rate of 814,505 tons weekly, accord-ing
to statistics compiled by the Iron
Age. This is about the anticipated in-crease
for May and establishes a new
high water mark, exceeding the previous
record of 818,880 tons. An intesesting
feature of the situation is the decrease
if furnaces in blast to 252, which is 44
less than were actively employed Feb-ruary
1, 1000, when the weekly output
was 208,014 tons. Although new orders
t for pig iron have been light in recent
weeks, actual deliveries on old contracts
must have reached a heavy total, tor
furnace stocks June 1 were but 407,728
tons, a decrease of 80,505 tons during
May.
Conditions in this industry must be
satisfactory if material is taken faster
than it can be produced, notwithstand-ing
a new record of ontpnt each month.
Prices are easier, Bessemer pig showing
a loss of about $!) a ton, compared with
the quotation in February last year,
when the production was near present
figures. This absence of inflation in
prices is the best symptom in the mar-ket,
and precludes the possibility of a
collapse like last year's. In finished
products there is great activity, owing
to the large amount of goods to be de-livered
July 1. There is noted especial
urgency for immediate shipment by
consumers of plater, bars and structural
shapes, the activity in building opera-tions
showing no diminution.
Seasonable weather hns somewhat
aroused the drygoods market. There is
not yet such activ.ty that dealer are
overwhelmed, but the various divit. ins
of manufacture are fairly occupied, k 1
heavy supplies of print cloths at Fa,
River have decreased. Lower quota-tions
recently established had a helpful
effect, but the temperature was more
potent for good. Forwardings of foot
wear from Boston have averaged over
100,000 cases weekly for some time, and
shops are well engaged.
Fall contracts are beginning to re-ceive
attention. Prices are steady. Re-tailers
are receiving better grades of
glazed kid shoes without higher quota-tions.
Jobbing trade is very active.
Scarcity of heavy sole leather sustains
prices, but light weights are dull and
weak.
Wheat declined to a more reasonable
level with withdrawal of speculative
support. The government report of
condition on June 1 was chiefly respon
sible. A crop this year equal to the
greatest evei harvested was indicated
by the official statement and as depart-ment
figures have generally proven be-low
the final yield, there was heavy
selling of options, with a fall below 80
cents for cash wheat.
Foreign buying promptly decreased,
with the prospect of more satisfactory
terms. Corn also lostin value, although
crop news was not especially bright.
Notwithstanding somewhat lower quo-tations
for corn, the provision market
has developed much strength and pork
products at the west are receiving the
attention of speculators to an unusual
extent, mess pork rising to $15.75.
Failures for the week were 179 in the
United States against 162 last year, and
23 in Canada against 21 last year.

REGULARITY IN POLITICS.
The Greensburg Star takes THE JOUR-NAL
to task as not standing for regular-ity
in politics which was advocated by
this paper when the insurgents were
trying to defeat Senaor Quay for re elec-tion.
Our esteemed contemporary,
however, labors under several mistaken
ideas.
We have always held that an honest
majority should rule and that is why
we wanted to see Mr. Quay elected as
he was the choice of his party; but,
that contest differed materially from
the late Republican primary election in
this county. This is particularly true
of the fight for the nomination for Con-troller.
County Chairman Rankin did
everything in his power to prevent an-nouncements
for that office being made,
his very evident intention being to have
his committeemen name Mr. Brown for
the place. Defeated in this, Mr. Rankin
made unfair use of his position against
Mr. Hitchman, not only during the
campaign but in the convention of re-turn
judges.
We would like to have the Star ex-plain
for Mr. Brown why he refused to
accept of Mr. Hitehman's offer to stand
by the face of the returns ns made on
the floor of the convention before the
official count began, and also why, after
his committee had had the returns from
the eighteen precincts set aside for con-test
in its hands for a week, the Grnpe-ville
statesman changed his mind and
came out in a statement, offering to ac-cept
the connt of the returns as a whole.
Mr. Brown may not have known the
figures, but, he will have, we venture
to say, some trouble before he can make
fair-minded Republicans believe it.
THE JOURNAL was never a party
organ, nor is it the mouthpiece for any
one. It is a thoroughly independent
newspaper and says what it believes.
Still we can't help but wonder what the
Star would do in case the Westmoreland
Democrats should take up Mr. Moore-head
for Orphan's Court Judge.
FISHING ON SUNDAY.
W. E. Meehan, secretary of the State
Fish Commission, says that the new fish
law recently signed by Gov. Stone does
not prohibit fishing on Sunday. In
speaking of the new act he said:
“The new laws are very much more
liberal than the old ones. Among other
things yon will notice that there is no
prohibition against Sunday fishing.
This feature of tue law will undoubted-ly
be welcomed by those who cannot
find time to fish on week days.”
The secretary's view may be all well
and good, but there are doubtless many
good people in this state who will fail
to see it in that light and continue to
class the sport as very much out of place
place on the first day of the week.
IF the Arabian fruit dealers are not
soon stopped from encroaching on the
'Church street sidewalks, pedestrians
•will have to take the middle of the
street for it.
WHEN Westmoreland Democrats talk
of men like Mr. O. P. Shupe, of this
place, for Controller, it shows that they
are looking for the best timber.
THE fakir is a part of nearly every
•show on the road today, but, it is only
the foolish patrons who try to beat his
game.
“UNCLE HENRY” STONER’S experi-ence
teaches that care is everything
when it comes to keeping either money
or pocket knives.
AGE and avoirdupois hurt Constable
Thompson's wind when he is called
upon to run down lawbreakers, but,
“Jack's” shooting eye is still all right.
IF Mount Pleasant intends having
anything going on the Fourth, it’s high
time we were making some move.
COUNCIL has the best interests of the
town at heart and can be relied upon to
grant street railway franchises, treating
all parties concerned fairly, or THE
JOURNAL misses its guess.
MR. GEORGE W. FULTZ who is now
at F,nos, Illinois, will make a mistake
if he returns home without first going
on to Lincoln, Nebraska, for a personal
interview with his special admiration,

ROBINSON’S BIG SHOW.
What the Washington Observer Has to
Say of It This Year.
John Robinson’s Big Show, which
will be here Saturday, June 29th, was
in Washington, Pa., this season and in
speaking of the visit the Observer has
this to say:
“The first circus of the season, John
Robinson’s Big Show, has come and
gone and the thousands of people who
paid to see the performances have no
kick coming, for the prophecy, made in
the Observer Monday morning to the
effect that the people would get their
money's worth and a bit over, was ful-filled.
The John Robinson show is all
right. It is a Big Show in fact as well
as in name, as big as the best of them,
bigger than most of them and as good,
if not better, than any of them. The
show gave entire satisfaction to the
crowds who witnessed it, the number
of people present being estimated at
about 9,000.
“All said and done, the John Robinson
Show is the equal, if not the superior
of any of the big circuses that have been
seen here, not even excepting the Ring-ling
Show, and that was an exceptional-ly
good one. The management was all
that could be desired and visitors were
treated with the greatest courtesy by
all concerned. Washington folk will
welcome the Robinson Show whenever
it comes back.”
Poor Day for Fakirs.
Buckskin Bill’s Wild West Show drew
two large crowds here Wednesday, al-though
the exhibition, outside of the
lariat throwing and female pistol shoot-ing,
was not out of the ordinary. The
fakirs didn't do a land office business
here, probably due to their legal round
up the day before at Uniontown where
five of them were arrested and made to
put up$l,100 for their appearance today.

An eastern paper says Unit an Arl-eoun

In trying to shoot a jack rabbit In
the suburbs of the town yesterday
James Daily killed and had to pay for
W
v'V^vT Hsr*
KILLED AND HAD TO PAY FOIi A $75 MULE,
a $75 mule belonging to Captain Chil-ders.
If Mr. Daily had carried out the
threat he ouce made of shooting us on
sight, we wonder how many innocent
citizens would have gone down before
his fusillade.
Old Major Harrington came into The
Kicker office the other day to ask why
America hadn’t gone ahead and licked
China out of her boots. We started in
to explain matters ns best we could,
but he got impntlent and tired three
bullets at us and left. The major was
never a hand to understand statesman-ship.
There was a rumor around town the
other day that Dave Sullivan, the ex-stage
driver, had been devoured by a
mountain lion In the Red Tree hills.
As Dave isn’t to be found at any of
his haunts, the story may be true, but
we’U bet the lion passed a bad hour
after his meal. Dave is about the
toughest thing we know of in Arizona,
and the wolves and bears have studi-ously
avoided him.
Last week we were one of the com-mittee
of four that sought to raise
$15,000 to give the town waterworks.
The total sum subscribed In the entire
week was $1.00, and, as for ourself,
we’ll be hanged If we waste any more
wind over the matter. If a citizen
wants to lie down on Ills stomach and
collect microbes from Tomahawk creek,
let him go ahead and Imbibe.
Our esteemed contemporary denies
that he was ever in jail in Indiana for
stealing a cow. Of course not. A man
who steals a cow and drives her off
has got to hustle around and have
common sense enough to dodge the
mudholcs and thistle patches along the
highway. Who could have started such
a baseless rumor?
His honor the mayor (who is ourself)
was obliged to throw Jim Carver down
stairs in the city hall the other day
and break his leg. Jim had got too
fresh and was playing the part of may-or
and sitting with his feet all over our
official desk. We don’t like to go back
on any of the hoys, but we have a cer-tain
official dignity to maintain.
Three nights ago as we were return-ing
nt a late hour from Mrs. Judge
Gilder's soiree we fell over a hog lying
•on the sidewalk and lauded on our
head and remained in a dazed condi-tion
for ten minutes. If this were a
twentieth century community, wo
should ask. “Can such things be?” As
It is not, we warn all hog owners that
we shall open fire on the next porker
which lies in ambush for us.
If the critter who fired a bullet Into
the postoffice window Tuesday evening
as we lay dreaming on our cot will call
again, we will try to make things
pleasant for him. Ills bullet missed
our head by only an inch, which was
pretty fair for a random shot. We got
tangled up In our nightshirt or he
would be walking with a limp today.

THE MOUNT PIVEA8ANT JOURNAL, FRIDAY, JUNE 2T, 1901
[CONTINTrBD.]
Wfi watched the ship for a few min-utes
longer and then passed on, while
Yon, who had taken it for granted that
we were in need of his company, kept
beside us and pointed out this and that
object of interest and expatiated on
matters in general with an uncommon
ability. Presently Jim stopped and
beckoned to him closer.
“Tell me. Have you ever been in
Shanghai?”
"Yes. cap’ll.”
“Hankow?”
Y'on hesitated a moment, and a curi-ous,
searching look crept into his little
black eyes. Then he smiled. It was a
pleasant smile, but somewhat oily and
singularly inscrutable.
-• “ ’Ave been ’Ankow side,” he said.
“Do you know it well ?”
“Pletty well, cap'n. 'Ave makee long
look, see.”
“You sabbee the river Yang-tse al-so?”
“Sabbee,” answered Yon. “'Ave
been one—two—thlee time 'Ankow
side.”
“Do you know the island of Ching-hi?”
Y’on screwed up his ugly face in a
vain effort to remember.
“No sabbee Ching-hi,” he said at last.
“Y’ang-tse 'ave got plenty island. Y'ou
go 'Ankow side, cap’n?”
Jim hesitated for a moment, and I
saw by his face that the question put
him on his guard. He fixed Mr. Y’on
with a keen look, but the imperturbable
Chinaman hore the scrutiny with nn In-difference
which was most reassuring.
“I may,” said Jim.
“Y'ou no 'ave got boy, cap’n?”
“No.”
“Supposee yon takce me along? My
makee welly ploper servant. You be-long
stlanger. 'Ankow no welly good
place for stlanger. My makee speak
Chinee, sabbee?”
Jim looked at me and I at him. The
.need of an interpreter was not a neces-sity
while Koon-Si formed one of the
party, but suppose by any chance we
should lose the valuable services of
that gentleman? Moreover, ,\ir. Y'on
was an extremely intelligent fellow,
and by payment we might command
undivided allegiance.
Jim looked at me inquiringly, and,
knowing what was passing in his
thoughts. I said. “We must make in-quiries.”
He turned to Mr. Y’on.
“I will think over your proposal. Yon.
Come to the hotel tomorrow and yon
shall know.”
“My makee welly glateful,” said the
fellow. “Y’on, he belong first chop
boy.”
I could not help smiling at this quaint
eulogy of self. The rascal had a Ce-lestial
sense of humor.
CHAPTER XXIV.
HE STMICES TWICE WHO STRIKES FIRST.
Upon our return to the hotel we made
a few necessary inquiries concerning
Mr. Y’on more as a sop to our con-sciences
than aught else, for so that he
proved not nn absolute scamp we cared
little for his reputation. For the work
we had in hand intelligence and nerve
were of more importance than a good
character. That he had the one we did
not doubt, that he possessed the other
time alone would show. At all events
we were not long in deciding to take
him with us. This journey we contem-plated
was a strange one, and out of it
much might come.
The following morning he presented
himself at the hotel and was duly en-gaged,
und later on in the day we went
off together to join the Foochow. Y'on,
who held the proud position of our boy,
took advantage of that privilege and
carried our things below and otherwise
displayed a conspicuous ability to
please. Then there followed the shriek
of the whistle, a warning to imprudent
sampans, the shouting and the bustle,
and presently the Foochow stood up
for Ly-ee Moon pass, the straits
through which we had entered not a
week before.
Of the voyage to Shanghai I have lit-tle
to relate. We found Ah Y’on a per-fect
jewel of a servant, bright, intelli-gent
and always willing, und on more
than one occasion we gave him good
proof of our appreciation. He was a
strange creature, and he had funny
Chinese eyes, which was nothing unu-sual
in a Chinuman, but he always
seemed gruteful for a kind act or a
kind word, perhaps the first that had
ever come his way.
Before the ship cleared the Ly-ee
Moon pass we caught a glimpse of
Koon-Si among the eooly passengers.
Feeling a trifle curious and just a lit-tle
suspicious of having shown too
much confidence In the carpenter, we
strolled forward, and there, leaning
against the winch, was our esteemed
trizsZ •i! the slit nostril Thouuh k*

looked a little cleaner than when we
last saw him, he was still dressed as a
cooly, barelegged and barefooted, and
but for his nose, at which one had to
look closely before discovering the slit,
offered no contrast to the surrounding
ugliness of his compatriots.
We passed on the other side of the
hatchway and within a few yards of
him, but beyond fixing us with the
stolid stare which we ordinarily receiv-ed
from his countrymen he gave no
sign of recognition. This, however,
mattered nothing. We had seen him,
and that was enough. The fact that he
kept below for the rest of the journey
was something that concerned him on-ly.
We were quite satisfied that our
confidence had not been misplaced.
The journey northward proved en-tirely
barren of incident, and in due
course of time we arrived at Shanghai.
Here, that very night, Ah Y’ou brought
my uncle a letter, which, he said, had
been left at the hotel by a messenger
and which upon opening we found was
a communication from Koon-Si. It
was very short and very untidy, but it
conveyed the information that the
steamer Chungking would leave early
on the following morning for Hankow,
and it advised a passage by the same,
adding: “It is my intention to go by
this ship, for not a moment should be
lost in the pursuit of our mission. He
strikes twice who strikes first.”
That it was excellent advice and
backed up by an excellent maxim and
one for which 1 duly notched a point in
favor of Mr. Koon-Si, may lie at once
admitted, and I could discover no rea-son
why such excellent advice should
not be followed up. Nor could my un-cle,
when put to the test, though he
needed no spur to his endeavor. Ills
one object in life was to stand face to
face with Rung and that at the earliest
opportunity.
Well, the next morning we were tip
betimes and away, and once more
Koon-Si lived a man apart along with
the coolies. We knew he was aboard,
and that was all. It would have puz-zled
the keenest spy of the society to
discover any connection between us
and the slit nosed rascal forward.
Koon-Si evidently knew how to meet
cunning with cunning, and I felt glad
that we were in the hands of such a
Yon carried our things below.
shrewd being and congratulated my-self
on the great good fortune which
had followed us since we first seriously
set out to combat our enemies, not
that Koon-Si was a lovable creature
or one for whom it was possible to
develop any immediate affection. His
manner reminded me too forcibly of
the awful, mysterious movements of
the society. There were a cunning und
a shrewdness in him which, though
extremely valuable, were not pleasant.
When Kung mnde an enemy of him, he
committed a fatal mistake and one
which I believed would cost him dear-ly.
It was not without reason my fa-ther
had said, “Find Koon-Si.”
Had we searched the whole of China
I doubt if wte could have discovered a
man more fitted for our purpose.
The Chungking was not a nice steam-er,
and her captain was not a nice cap-tain.
but she plodded her way up the
great river with commendable dignity,
and one afternoon the gallant skipper
informed us that we should be in Han-kow
early the next morning. We
thanked him. It was a piece of in-formation
supplied gratuitously, even
chucked at us, but we thanked him.
It is extremely pleusant to meet an
amiable fellow countryman in a foreign
land.
Toward dusk, as we rounded a long
bend of the river, an island opened out
in the distance, and by the time we
were abreast of it the day had appre-ciably
darkened. As Jim and I stood
at the side watching the narrow strip
of land, upon a slight eminence of
which we could Just distinguish the
outline of a dilapidated pagoda, a voice
muttered from behind. “Ching-hi.”
