DRAWS A LARGE CONGREGATION
AT THE CHURCH OF GOD.
The Divine Words as Found ill Paul’s
Letter to the Ephesians were that upon
Which the Reverend Gentleman Based
His Subjeot That is Replete With Good
Thoughts For the Daily Walks of Life
Rev. S. G. Yahn. of the Church of
God, preached the first of a series of
sermons on “The Teachings of Toil,
Sabbath evening last to a large congre-gation.
His subject was “The duty and
purpose of toil," based on Eph. 4:28—
“Let him that stole steal no more; |
bnt rather let him labor, working with
bis hands the thing which is good, that
he may have to give to him that
needeth."
“The text," said the speaker, “refers
to the three ways by which alone life's
necessities may he secured by stealing,
by labor, or by giving. Hence it logic-ally
follows that the man who fails to
pay his rent, or bis store bills, secures
his provisions not ns a gift, nor as a
result of his labor, bnt by a species of
theft. The man who can pay for his
provisions, and fails to do so. is simply
stealing his way through the world.
The universal duty of toil was empha-sized
by the arguments of Scripture and
reason. To provide for the present
and future needs of the individual and
the family, not only in food, clothing
and shelter, bnt in the means for mental
and moral culture, was shown to be the
first purpose of toil; while the second
purpose is, “that he may have to give
to him that needeth." That the surplus
fruits of toil are not for the accumula-tion
of riches, bnt for the benefit of
those lens fortunate in the work of the
world. That the laying np of treasures
should be in heaven, and that this can
only be done by putting yonr treasures
into men. Inclosing this part of the
subject the speaker said;
“In order to give wisely, and not in
terfere with the universal duty of toil,
it is often necessary to refuse to give. |
The tramp nuisance is a striking illns
tration I think it wrong to give any-thing
to the typical tramp. 1 will tell
yon why. Since yon cannot give to all
the poor, you should select the most
worthy. He is the least worthy. And
what yon give to the idle tramp you
take from the worthy poor. Yonr gift
encourages ar.d helps to perpetuate his
life of idleness. This idleness that
naturally leads to sin and crime
is made possible b'T the generosity
of well meani- bnt misguided
people. Most of them are able
to work and onght to work. The rem-edy
for their present condition is to
teach them the lesson of toil. Let
hunger tench it. Nothing else will.
The stomach is the only part of a tramp
that can be impressed. Your gift often
provides their liquor.
” T never give money,' you reply.
No; bnt yonr gift of bread will enable :
them to save and spend for liquor the J
money they begged at the bank and the
business house. So. whatever yonr gift,
yon help directly or indirectly to supply
the rum. Yonr gift debases what little j
manhood may be left, it encourages !
the tramp to bow and beg for that
which, if he were compelled to labor,
he eonld claim as his own, and be a
man. Your gift cultivates his dishonesty
and falsehoods. The lie that succeeds
at yonr door will naturally lend to a lie
at your neighbor’s door, and from door
to door.
' “ ’But,’ says one, ‘I can’t turn any
body away.’ This common expression
savors more of sentiment than sense.
When a lonely woman opens the door
of her home for a typical tramp, she
assumes a risk condemned by every
argument of reason.
“ ‘Bnt, what is to become of these
poor, homeless tramps?’ asks another.
If thoy are able to work, they ought to
work; if they are not able to work, they
onght to be in the County Home; if they
are sick, they ought to be in the hospi-tal;
if they are criminals, as tunny of
them are, they ought to he in the peni-tentiary.
And these places are all open.
“Continue to labor to live, and to be
able to give to others. Teach the duty
of toil. Direct the tramp to honest em-ployment,
bnt refuse to support him in
his idleness, for his own good, and that
yon may have more to give to the pre
cions poor of the family of God."
The subject for next Sabbath evening
s, “The enemies of the toiler.”

HE SCORCHED ONCE.
And That Was Enough Bicycle Riding
for Jimmy Devlin.
Superintendent James Devlin, of the
H. 0. Frick Coke Company's Bessemer
plant, thought seriously over learning
to ride a bicycle and did give himself
one lesson, but that put him clean out
of the notion. His experience remained
a secret between himself and his wife
for three years and it was just the
other day that he told the story.
The desire to become a wheelman
came to him during the Spanish-Ameri
can war and while his son Walter was
with Company E in the Philippines. Of
course, he told his wife of his inten-tion
to invest in a wheel and she asked
him why he couldn’t be satisfied with
their sin’s machine. He saw the point;,
got Walter’s outfit and waited for the
shades of night and sought the town-ship
road running down by his home to
the public school building at the works.
He mounted and disappeared in the
darkness when pushed oft by Mrs. Devlin,
who waited in vain for him to return.
“Jimmy" says that he flew even after
he ran foul of the school house platform
and continued to fly until he caromed
off the corner of the building and was
stretched senseless on the lower end of
theplatform where hisbetter half found
him apparently dead. Really believing
she was a widow,she hastened to a neigh
boring house and hustled some one off
for the undertaker.
Bnt, “Jimmy” wasn’t dead as he got
up before the funeral director arrived
and with the help of Mrs. Devlin, hob-bled
homfe where his bill for salve and
arnica was far more than enough to re-place
Walter's wheel, of which the only
thing saved from the wreck was a small
wrench.
BIG IINIONTOWN EIRE.
A Square of Fayette’s Capital Wiped
Out By the Flames.
A fire broke out in A- Freidman’s
livery stable at Uniontown at 5 o’clock
last Friday morning and before the
flames were stayed $50,000 worth of
property was destroyed. The loss
would have been still greater on ac-count
of a water famine had not the
contents of the reservoir at the Conti-nental
coke works been turned into the
creek which flows through the town.
As it was all the buildingB along the
north side ‘of Peter street from Arch to
Pittsburg streets were destroyed except
the News Standard printing plant
which was damaged to the extent of
$10,(100.
The sample room and laundry at the
McClelland House were burned and the
opera house was on fire several times,
bnt was saved by the firemen with
difficulty. The total insurance coyers
about one-third of the loss.
DEMOCRATS GDI
ALLOWED IDEM
That is to Say That the Whole Republican Ticket in This County was Elected
Although hy Greatly Reduced Majorities. Judge Steel, Supposed
to lie the Weakest Candidate, leads His Ticket.
HOW NEIGHBORING COUNTIES VOTE!) TUESDAY.
For years Democrats have conceded that Westmoreland county
is Republican and the returns from last Tuesday’s election will
likely convince them that it is almost hopelessly so, for, despite
the fact that many G. O. P. wheel horses balked and hundreds of
the rank and tile of that party were out openly against Judge
Steel and Controller Brown, these two gentlemen were in the
winning band wagon when it pulled in ahead of the unterrified
who got what the law allows—the minority members of the Poor
Board, Messrs. McCann and Truxal, both beating Mr. Hamel out.
The Democrats, who had many good reasons for believing
that their whole ticket would win, looked upon their candidate for
Orphan’s Court Judge, Mr. Williams, as their strongest man, and
yet just the opposite proved to be the case, as he was defeated by
1,1(34 votes. One explanation of this is that Mr. Williams, who is
a Catholic, was cut by Protestant members of his own party.
David WT. Shupe, the Mount Pleasant boy, whom Mr. Trescher beat
for Sheriff by hut 888 votes, was the boss Democratic vote-getter.
This was particularly true here in his boyhood town, which gave
him its highest majority, 27H. Mr. Guffey was a close second as
he was but four votes short of duplicating the performance against
Mr. Brown. Mr. Steel wasn’t quite so shabbily treated by Mount
Pleasant as he got only i’l l the worse of it when his vote here is
compared with that of Mr. Williams. Mr. Brown's majority over
Mr. Guffey was Tel.
Over in Fayette county the Republicans won everything ex-cept
the office of Sheriff, for which their candidate M. A. Kiefer,
was defeated by Samuel Frock, Democrat, by86 votes. Dr. Arthur
S. Hogan, the Republican candidate for Coroner, led the van with
over l,10u plurality.
The Republican state ticket in Somerset county went through
with some 8,700 plurality, but Francis J. Koozer, the G. O. P.
candidate for Judge, defeated W. H. Rupplo, Democrat, by but
2!l") votes.
HORNIR-SMITH WTDDING.
It Was a Brilliant Home Affair Attended
By Over Fourscore People.
The marriage of Dr. Myers Worman
Horner and Miss Pearl Elvira Smith,
which was solemnized last Thursday
evening at 8 o’clock at the Main street
home of the bride's father, Mr. William
H. Smith, was an elegant affair attended
hy over fourscore people who, with the
exception of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Luke
and Miss Mildred Shaffer, of Johnstown,
and Rabe Marsh, Esq., of Greensburg,
were con lined to the relatives and friends
of the principals in town and vicinity.
The wedding march was played on
the piano by Miss Ola Brownfield, of
Smithfield, Pa., as the bridal party
came from an upper room to the hand-somely
decorated parlors, headed by
the ushers, Dr. Jesse S. Muffin and Rabe
Marsh, Esq., who were followed-in
order by the flower girl, Mistress Jean
Smith, the bride’s little niece; Miss
Shaffer, maid of honor, and the bride
and groom. The Rev. D. M. Lyle,
pastor of the Re-Union Presbyterian
church, performed the ceremony, at
whose close the elegant refreshments
were served.
Dr. Horner and his bride, who was
the recipient of a room fuff of pretty
presents, left the same evening on an
eastern trip, from which his professional
duties are expected to call them home
early next week.when they will go to
housekeeping in their all ready furnish-ed
residence at the corner of Main and
Diamond streets.
Reaching Out to Somerset.
The Pittsburg, Westmoreland and
Somerset railroad, crossing the moun-tain
from Ligonier, has been completed
across Laurel Hill and the work of its
construction toward Somerset is going
on. A plan to raise $50,000 to complete
the line to Somerset is now being
worked out.
A Coke Worker's Fatal Sleep'.
John Basco, a coke worker at Mam-moth,
laid down near a burning oven
to rest after his day’s work on Saturday.
He fell asleep and a larry going that
way crushed out his life. He went to
Mammoth about a month ago from
Braddock.
An Ugly Fall.
Francis Andrew, of College avenue,
was severely cut and bruised about the
head and arm Tuesday by Spence's de-livery
wagon running over him. He
fell in getting off the wagon.
A FAIR WHALER.
A Bairdstown Female Teacher Who Is
in Trouble.
Miss Jennie Prentice, a teacher in the
public schools at Bairdstown, near
Blairsville, lias been held on a charge
of assault and battery and extreme
cruelty to a 18-year-old boy named
Hazlutt Hosack. It is alleged that the
teacher flogged tlie bnv with two
hickory rods lashed together, with
which she gave him (18 blows The
backs of the hoys legs, it is alleged, are
black and blue.
It is said that before the teacher be-gan
the castigation she removed her
collar and necktie, took off her watch,
and rolled up her sleeves and that by
j the time she had finished she was in a
state of utter exhaustion. At the same
time she administered a flogging to six
other boys, and it is said that some of
them were also cruelly punished.
Miss Prentice’s defense is that the
boys were not more than ordinarily
punished, and that the marks and
bruises ou the Hosack boy, are due to a
whipping that the hoy’s father admin-istered
the day before.
DEATHS Of THE WEEK.
The Grim Renper's Work in This Place
and Vicinity.
Dr. A. B. Mitchell died Monday of
paralysis at the Weltytown, Mount

By a unanimous vote Mrs. S W.
Keister was elected president of the
union, and Mrs. Sara Landis superin-tendent
of evangelistic work. Mrs.
George W. Stoner's report as treasurer
showed the union is in very good stand-ing
financially. Mrs. Myers' report of
the late convention at New Castle was
very interesting nn<J instructive and
was enjoyed by all present.
Three Fingers Chopped Off.
A 7 year old Polish girl at Alice named
Florensky had three fingers chopped off
Wednesday by a hatchet in the hands
of a younger brother jwith whom she
was playing in the yurd.
COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest Gathered From Both
Mine and Yard.
The Frick company fired up the 150
ovens at its Monastery works, near La-trobe,
Monday, after an idleness of
several months.
, J. R. Smith, E. A. Humphries and J.
A. Barnhart, of Scottdale, have pur-chased
a 700-acre tract of coal land near
Fairmont. W. Va.. The consideration
was $28,000.
Joseph Angus, mine foreman at
Mutual, who had a handsome offer from
the Coulter it Huff people to go to their
new Salernville plant, has decided to re
main with the Frick company.
J. B. F. Smith, manager of the Sharon
Supply Company’s store at the Sharon
Coke Company's new Ronco plant at
Jennings’ Landing, Fayette county,
spent Sunday here with his wife and
family whom he will take to Mason
town as soon as he can secure a house.
J. Johnson, of Pnnxsntawney, has the
contract to sink two shafts for the latter
company, while J. K. Gates & Co. are
at work putting up houses.
MOUNTAIN TROLLEY LINf
That Would Connect Mount Pleasant
With Somerset.
The Somerset Standard says that it
has learned from a reliable source that
a syndicate of capitalists in Pittsburg
are taking the necessary steps for the
construction of a trolley line over the
Laurel Hill from Mount Pleasant toSorn-erset.
Agents of the syndicate are se
curing rights of way for the line, and
it is probable that the project will lie
pushed to completion in the near future.
If this line should be put through it
will lie but the opening wedge for a
system of trolley lines through Somer-set
comity, an enterprise that would
certainly be warmly welcomed by the
people of that section.
Young Lawyer Weds.
Chauncey Lobingier, Esq.. a young
Pittsburg lawyer, and son of Mr and
Mrs J. S. Lobingier, of this place was
married Thursday last in the Episcopal

teacher was^escorted to the dining room
where the twenty revelers had spread
all manner of good things to eat.
A FAMOUS
REGIMENT
The Old Fifteenth Pennsylvania
Volunteer Cavalry.
THE 29th ANNUAL REUNION
WHICH WAS HELD IN PHILADEL-PHIA
THURSDAY LAST.
The Mount Pleasant Survivors Were
Represented at the Meeting by Joseph
S. Overholt. Short History of the Part
Played in the War of the Rebellion by
the Gallant Body of Mounted Men Who
Hunted Rebels Largely on Their Own
Hook.
The twenty ninth annual reunion of
file famous Fifteenth Pennsylvania
Volunteer Cavalry was held las- Thurs-day
evening in Lulu Temple. Philadel-phia.
This meeting was particularly
interesting from the fact that the orig-inal
colonel of the regiment, General
William J. Palmer, was present.
Joseph S. Overholt represented the-
Mount Pleasdnt survivors, among whom,
besides himself, are Captain H. O.
Tinstman, A. S. R. Overholt and Martin
Sease.
This regiment was organized in Au-gust,
1882. and was mustered into ser-vice
on the 22rl day of the same month
at Carlisle, Pa. Recruits came from all
parts of the state. Its first experience-in
battle was at Antietam with Colonel
Palmer commanding. After that the
regiment was ordered west and became
part of the Army of the Cntnberland.
There the Fifteenth met the advance of
McCook’s corps at the battle of Stone
River. It took part, in fact a most act-ive
part, in the long campaign that fol-lowed
and covered itself with glory
during the battle of Chlckamanga. It
gave most efficient assistance in the
defense of Knoxville after the battle of
Missionary Ridge. But among its many
achievements the capture of Hood’s
pontoon and wagon train in Mississippi
stands out ns the last and decisive blow
to the rebellion in the sonthwest.
During most of the war life of this
regiment it was looked upon as a spe-cial
organization and nearly nil of its
operations Were conducted without the
aid or support of the other troops; and
the glory resulting from the Fifteenth’s
efforts was all its own. That it was
successful and appreciated was attested
by General George H. Thomas, when
he said: “The Fifteenth Pennsylvania
Cavalry is the best regiment of cavalry
in my command.”
Stiff further victories for the Fifteenth
were the capture of the rebel forces of
General Lyon concentrated at Red Hill,
Alabama, and the many engagements
in the closing campaign of the war
when it. became one of the chosen regi-ments
of the 5,000 cavalry before Knox-ville.
They left Knoxville in March of
18(15, crossed Carolina and moved north
as far as Lynchburg, making a most
formidable demonstration at the time
of Grant's closing in on Lee at Appo-matox.
thence going south through the
Carolines in pursuit of Jeff Davis. The
entire division was then under the com
mand of General Palmer.

street home of the bride in the
presence of the immediate friends of
the principals who will make their
home at the No. 8 Continentalcoke plant
where the groom is the chief cierk in
the office.
The bride, who received many pres-ents,
is a daughter of Mr. C. F. De-
Walt and formerly resided here while
acting as cashier at tne Standard store.

work of a famous French artist to
whom Mr. Frick gave the order while
abroad this summer.

dulum, with the gonna! fatigue of one set of organs or group of ideas and
their consequent diminished activity, other capacities, Including ttiose devoted
to elimination and repair, automatically lake their place. Ultimately sound
sleet) ensues, and health and vigor are renewed.
Unfortunately for some individuals, the power of such natural recuperation
Is lessened. This is partly due to the fact that sleep, like other activities, re-quires
the outlay of nervous energy. The circulation of the brain Is changed
and with it the distribution of the blood in other portions or the body. The
large venous sinuses at the outlet of the brain are gorged with blood and press
upon the tissues. The capillary circulation is on the wliolf diminished, .lust
the way this comes about is not so certain. We know that the activity of the
brain at first increases the action of the heart, but, as liinet shows, if con-tinued,
decreases it. This tends to dam tip blood in the nervous system
and thus till the cerebral sinuses and empty the arteries; but, whatever the
starting point, it requires the action of the nervous centers devoted to the cir-culation.
They must be “set” In a certain way and have the power to con-tinue
tills “set" for a sufficient length of time.
In many cases sleep Is cut short because these centers, found largely in
the medulla, hut also distributed throughout other portions of the nerv-ous
system, are themselves fatigued or weakened. The individual wakes up
not perfectly restored. There 1ms not Iren a sufficient accumulation of oner
gy, and before the day is over the limit of normal fatigue will have been
passed.
At this point two things may happen. ’Hie individual may feel sleepy and
find himself refreshed if lie takes a nap. A habit of this kind, exclusive of
the periods of early childhood and of old age, destroys the uaturnl rhythm of
waking and rest, which Is adjusted in normal Individuals to the stimulus of
day and the quiet of night. The Individual is to some extent ont of harmo-ny
with his environment. Ib‘ is a less capable accumulator and producer of
energy.
The other alternative is that he oversteps the limit of normal fatigue. Tlie
brain cells, which arc not functioning easily, are stimulated in various ways,
ami instead of becoming tired the individual becomes excited. The way in
which this comes about depends to some extent upon the structure of the
brain. One part of this organ in capable of stirring iqi another part. An
Illustration of this may be seen in the following experiment: Not long ago I
asked a lady to register the number of pounds she was able to squeeze on a
dynamometer. After taking note of the amount I asked her to recite a piece
of poetry, which she did with n good deal of spirit. I then asked her to
squeeze again. She was able to exert a pressure of 20 pounds more than be-fore.
A decided Increase of this kind is found with about half of several hun-dred
people I have tested.
While a certain amount of syuergial action of tills kind is only an evidence
of a lively temperament and a properly working brain, too much of it conies
from a condition of irritable nervous weakness or chronic fatigue. Fere
finds that such excessive reaction is most frequent in individuals suffering
from neurasthenia, or hysteria. Olouston points out that this overexcitement,
when in a social field, often called “keeping up,” or will power, is an indi-cation
of a faulty brain.
Besides the excessive stirring up of one part of the brain by another, per-sons
with tendencies to overfatigue frequently use material stimulants, such
as alcohol, cocaine, opium, morphine, tobacco, tea anil coffee. The two latter
arc often used to excess by children. These act in two ways. At first, hut
only for a short time, they call out more energy. Reaction time is lessen-ed.
After this initial effect reaction time is increased, although the indi-vidual
is generally under the Illusion that lie is more energetic. As with oth-er
morbid influences, the finest reactions suffer first. The most delicate
avenues of energy, which normally contribute the final control to the whole
activity, are first impaired. As a result the coarser movements and expressions
have fuller sway. The work accomplished is. however, actually less, ns it
is less perfectly directed.
The finest reactions suffer first in their sensitive as well as their motor
aspects. Thus it comes that under the secondary effects of stimulants the in-dividual
is not conscious of fatigue. The capacity which should appreciate
this delicately is benumbed, poisoned by the overwork due to the initial ef-fects
of stimulation and the presence of the innutritions nmterinl.
When the conditions of brain activity are defective from whatever cause,
we observe the results of fatigue more quickly. Janet gives the ease of a girl
with whom there was no history of alcohol or drug poisoning. She would
take a book and begin to read, succeeding very well for a couple of minutes.
She would then complain that her eyes hurt her. She would try again, but
could not see anil felt as if she were In darkness. Tills blindness lasted for
one or two minutes, when she could again read about as long as before. No
defect was discovered in her eyes. The trouble was central, pertaining to the
brain, and depended upon fatigue of the attention. This was shown by the
fact that she could easily read aloud as long ns she did not need to pay at-tention
to what she read. Her eyes did not even become tired. She was, of
course, not aide to tell anything of what she had read.
This particular ahoulhi was not the only trouble with this girl. She fa-tigued
easily in every direction requiring activity of the upper brain centers.
Even when she did pay attention for a short time it was limited in amount or
range. Certain sensations and even movements were constantly neglected.
Whenever she attempted to “pay attention” there would be produced the most
extraordinary grimaces, tics, convulsive jerks, etc., to which she was en-tirely
oblivious at the time, and of which she had no remembrance after-ward.
As she increased her attention to the matter in hand she lost it with
respect to these movements. Her ability to co-ordinate her sensations was
thus less than with people in u normal condition. With school children,
the automatisms, the moving of feet, knitting of eyebrows, twiddling with
buttons, wriggling, etc., characteristic of them when reciting, arp in many
cases only less pronounced instances of a similar state of affairs.
In some cases these automatic or subconscious movements are capable of
direction by some one else. A hospital Interne concentrated his attention to
such n degreee when lie was playing cards that, as Ids companions found, he
could, without knowing it. repeat nil sorts of words if they were said quietly
and without attracting his attention. Another Instance is that of a lady
whose attention Is engaged by conversation or a problem In mental arith-metic.
A pen is slipped into her hand, which rests on u sheet of paper. A
question is now whispered or spoken quietly in her ear, to which she is
asked to write an answer. She does so, and does not know afterward that she
has written or even that she was asked a question. The answers sometimes in-volve
matters which she has forgotten when asked to recall by the ordinary
processes of attention.
The order in which the personal perception is lessened, whether owing to
fatigue or constitutional defect, is found to he in most cases inversely
proportional to the importance of the sensation or other experience, ns esti-mated
by the individual concerned. Thus the left eye and the left side of
the body generally become insensitive before the right. The sensations con-nected
with defecation, e. g„ are not felt to he important and are very early
neglected la the downward path of fatigue. Insensitivity lu this respect
leads to constipation and all the evils which follow la its train. Dropping of
or lessened sensitivity to sensations of taste and smell is also frequent and oc-curs
on slight occasions. Following this, hunger sensations are neglected.
When the personal perception of the individual is invaded by such lack of
sensitivities, food becomes repulsive and starvation and denutrition ensue, re-sulting
in some cases even in death. The food repulsions and partial ano-rexias,
as well as the unnatural appetites for slate pencils, chalk, etc., of
some children are slight manifestations of similar tendencies.
Sollier maintains with a great degree of probability that individuals suffer-ing
from a marked lessening of personal perception are in reality partly asleep.
Only a certain number of the brain cells which should act In a healthy
waking subject are In these cases called into play. This condition is fre-quently
reversed at night, and the neurons which were asleep in the day are
now awake. Such people sometimes lie all night with tlieiu eyes open or get
up and wander around, but know nothing of this when the daytime comes
and may even say they have slept soundly. The normal monarchical con-stitution
of the personal perception has become divided into two centers of per-ception.
each of which is largely Independent of the other. Sometimes it
even happens that the less usual of these personal syntheses is the larger
and more competent. Cases are on record where an individual has been plac-ed
in a constant state of somnambulism much to his advantage In his adjust-ment
to the environment and his success In life.
The steps toward such abnormal conditions are usually indicated by an In-creasing
liability to fntigue. Even with normal people overfatigue results In a
lessened personal perception which differs only in degree and in a greater ca-pacity
to recover from the cases of hysteria w.e have just been consider-ing.
Even when nervous exhaustion Is decidedly constitutional or heredi-tary
overfatigue only aggravates the conditions. Children who suffer from
a tendency In this direction should be recognized as early in life as possible.
This Is Important both for their present work and their future prospects.

Transportation Facilities Have Been
Greatly Improved, But Not in Keepinir
With National Expansion and as a Re-sult
Shortage of Railroad Cars Has
Become a Chief Feature in Retarding
the Enormous Volume of Business
Although the latest railway returns
indicate that transporting facilities
have greatly improved, the nation’s
business has expanded more rapidly.
Car shortage has, in fact, become the
chief retarding influence. From all
sections of the country and many lines
of industry complaints are heard regard
ing the inability to move goods. Prob-ably
the delay has been most aggravat-ing
in the case of coal, unseasonably
high temperature aline preventing
serious inconvenience. Not only are
domestic requirements enormous, but
coal is becoming an important article of
export, partly owing to labor contro-versies
in France and Great Britain and
also to the British export tax.
Mild weather affects retail distribu-tion
to a very marked degree, orders for
heavy weight goods being canceled in
some cases where manufacturers were
behind with deliveries. That the vol
ume of legitimate business is not being
curtailed, however, iB evidenced by the
gain in bank exchanges at New York ot
27.4 percent, over last year and 7.9 per
cent, over the same week in 181)11. At
other leading cities the increase is
equally striking, 20 1 percent, over 1900
and 9 0 over 1 HIM).
Not only are steel mills many months
behind orders and prompt deliveries
commanding premiums, but even
where goods are ready for customers
it is often impossible to ship because of
inadequate railway facilities. Struc
final material is urgently sought,
and mild weather prolongs the season
for buying pipe. Steel rail orders in
crease and the fancy prices asked for
billets have brought imports from Ger
many, where industrial depression
makes it possible to sell at very low
figures.
Footwear manufacturers have made
a general advance in prices, restoring
the figures of early spring. It is obvious
that the average rise of 24 cents does
not cover the enhanced cost of material,
yet new orders have been extremely
light since the change. Woolen mills
have ample orders and take large quan
tities of raw material, holding wool
prices firm. Cotton goods are in brisk
request with no evidence of excessive
stocks.
Speculators secured a distinct decline
from the unusually high position re-cently
attained by pork products,
while at the same time corn made a
further advance. Poor husking reports
were held responsible for the rise in the
cereal, and there was a natural falling
off in exports. Shipments from Atlantic
ports for the week were only 498,495
bushels, against 1,194,009 last week and
3,828,631 a year ago. lnteiior receipts
were also light. Wheat came to mar
ket more freely, arrivals at western
cities amounting to 7,060,500 bushels
against 6,182,393 in the previous week
and 5,537,602 a year ago. Atlantic
exports were less satisfactory than last
week.
Failures for the week were 240 in the
United States against 205 last year, and
29 in Canada against 28 last year.

Tim JoUHN AL uniat admit that it is
disappointed over the returns from
Tuesday's electiou in this oomity, IIH it
had hoped to see .1 ndge Steel and Con-troller
Drown defeated for reasons al
ready given and fairly laid before the
Republican majority party What was
said in these columns was. we still be-lieve,
the simple truth, and there the
whole matter rested with the voter
What THE JOUKNAL did was done
solely for what we deemed the best in-terests
of the common people of tins
county ns a whole, and we have, there
fore, nothing to regret regarding the
course this always independent paper
pursued in the late campaign. The
people have spoken at the polls The
verdict is that .lodge Steel will preside
over the Orphan's Court for the next
ten years, while the Hon John H
Brown .will continue to run the Con
trailer’s office until January 1, 11111.1
We bow to the will of this honest ma
jority and at the same time wish success
for both gentlemen as high county
officials.
TO-NiaHT’S ENTERTAINMUNT,
There should tie a large audience at
the Grand Opera Housoat to-nigbr.'sen
tertaimuent, which in itself is deserving
of the most liberal patronage, as Miss
Acken ranks high as a reciter. She has
never visited Mount Pleasant; hut, that
she is a talented woman we have the
testimonial of Rev. George I). (Tissnian.
pastor of the West Newton Methodist
Episcopal church, formerly Principal of
the Mount Pleasant Public Schools,
who has heard the lady and who speaks
in the highest terms of her abilities
This is certainly a sufficient guarantee
that the audience will be well enter
tained.
There is a still stronger reason why
the attendance should be large and that
is that the entertainment is given for
the benetit of the Public School Library.
The Mount Pleasant Board of Educa-tion
has promised to duplicate whatever
money Principal Miller can raise for
this purpose, and THE JOURNAL trusts
that the sum realized will be a liand
some one, for, the cause is a most de
serving one.
THANKSOIVINd PROCLAMATION.
President Roosevelt bns issued n pro
claruation setting apart Thursday. No
vember 28th, as Thanksgiving After
referring in feeling terms to the uni
versa] sorrow over the assassination of
his predecessor, he rightly holds that
the manner of the martyred President
McKinley's death should awaken in the
breasts of our people a keen anxiety for
our country, and at the same time a
resolute purpose not to be driven by any
•calamity from the patli of strong, orderly
(popular liberty which as a Nation we
have thus far safely trad.
For, in spite of this great disaster, as
President Roosevelt says, it isnevertbe
less true that no people on earth have
\sueh abundant cause for thanksgiving
as we have. The past year in particular
■has been one of peace and plenty. We
•have prospered in things material and
liave been able to work for our own up
lifting in things intellectual and
spiritual. Let us remember that, as
much has been given us, much will be
■expected from us, and that true homage
comes from the heart as well as from
the lips, and shows itself in deeds. We
•can best prove our thankfulness to the
Almighty by the way in which on this
earth and at this time each of ns does
bis duty to his fellow men.

FAIR WARNING GIVEN
TO HALF A DOZFN LAWYERS WHO
BROUGHT LIBEL. SUITS.
The Publisher Preparing to Buckle on
His Guns and Interview the Aforesaid
Legal Gentlemen with Much Joy on
the Part of the Publisher Who Also
Makes a Number of Equally Pointed
Remarks.
[Copyright, 1901, by C. B. Lewis.]
It will soon be time again for us to
buckle ou our guns ami interview the
half dozen shyster lawyers who have
brought libel suits against The Kicker
during the past six months. We al-ways
enjoy such .occasions.
We don’t say that the critter who put
a bullet through our hat the other night
ns we were riding home from Illne
Valley intended assassination, hut we
think such jokes out of place and can’t
appreciate them. Our feet were cold
for two hours after we got home.
It is not exactly true that the editor
of Ibis paper, who owns 11,000 acres of
desert land, is going into strawberries
next year. lie has figured it out that
it would take eight barrels of water to
a berry and that lie would have to dig
a canal fifty-four miles long to get it.
Our best hold is politics.
Dr. Johnson is the last physician to
hung out ills sign among us, and he is
said to ho rapidly building up a prac-tice.
If it turns out that he knows a
case of the whooping cough from a
compound fracture of the leg, we shall
lie glad of his coming. Most of the
other doctors in town picked up their
knowledge in a blacksmith shop.
It may have been observed that The
Kicker never says "it is alleged” so
and so. We always call a man a mur-derer
or a horse thief if we think he is
one, and if lie can convince us to flic
contrary we make him an apology.
This keeps things pretty lively, hut it
gives general satisfaction.
This town is not sending out boom
pamphlets as to its churches, schools,
factories and railroads, but if any man
is looking for a place whore lie can
get out and yell any time lie wants to
or where lie can shoot all day long and
not have to look for other people this
place should he given a fair trial.

Mrs. L. A. II arris, a Prominent Member
of a Chicago Woman’s Political Club, tells
how Ovarian Troubles may be Cured with-out
a Surgical Operation. She says :
“ Doctors have a perfect craze for operations. The minute
there is any trouble, nothing but an operation will do them; one
hundred dollars and costs, and included in the costs are pain, and
agony, and often death.
“ I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles ; spent hundreds
of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was
my only chance of life. My sister had been using LydiaE. I’ink-ham’s
Vegetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured,
and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try the Com-pound.
I did so as a last resort; used it faithfully with the Sana-tive
Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles
were over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound first, fewer surgical operations
would occur.”—MRS. L. A. HARRIS, 278 East 31st St., Chicago, 111.

When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful
menstruation, weakness, leucorrhcea, displacement or ulceration of the
womb, that bearing-down feeling,* inflammation of the ovaries, back-ache,
bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous
prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness,
lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness,melancholy,
“ all-gone ” and “ want-to-be-left-alone ” feelings, blues, and hopelessness,
they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E.
IMnkliaiu’s Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles.

rCONTINUED.!
As the sun rose higher It beat down
upon us with all the enervating heat of
an unseasonable day. The water drip-ping
back of us alone sustained and
refreshed us. One by one we would go
to the cleft and, standing under the
cooling drops, receive them In our
mouths. We envied the birds the food
they bore to their nests and the free-dom
of those soaring far above In the
limitless ocean of air. Why could we
not be given wings to fly from our
rocky prison? The wrecked are prone
to dwell on hallucinations. So to us
came sounds denoting the approach of
rescuers. One would hear the tramp of
armed men. Another would see the
white covers of a wagon train. All day
we were tortured by these fancies till
at last 1 ceased to pay any attention to
them.
“1 hear horses' hoofs,” said Buck.
"Oh. no. you don't. Buck,” I said, lay-ing
my band on his head.
“1 tell yo' I do."
“Listen." said Helen.
We all listened, but so far as I was
concerned there was no unusual sound.
“1 hear them, too,” said Jack.
It was singular that these two should
agree. 1 looked anxiously at Helen.
My hearing was not especially acute.
If Helen had heard, I might have
thought there was something to hear.
She listened a long while, but no sound
came to her.
“It's gone,” said Buck.
“So it is." said Jack. “I heard it; I
know I did.”
I turned away. It was plain to me
that they had been tortured by another
hallucination. Neither Buck nor Jack
heard anything more, and the Incident
was soon forgotten, at least by Helen
and by me, who had heard nothing.
We all relapsed into that dreadful wait-ing-
waiting for the time when the
fear of death would lie overcome by
the pangs of starvation. Helen sud-denly
looked at me, that dangerous
light which I had seen before in her
eyes.
“Your enemy?” she asked.
“What enemy?”
“The one you came to Alabama to
kill.”
"I shall never kill him now.”
“Do you mean that you abandon your
revenge?” She spoke contemptuously.
“With death staring me. staring you
and the others in the lace—you who
have wrecked yourselves in a vain at-tempt
to save me—my private griefs
sink to nothingness."
“You must be revenged.” She spoke
as if it were she and not I who was to
be the avenger.
“I remember. You were to help me.”
“I will help you.”
“There is no need. We are doomed.”
“We shall live, and you will meet
him.”
“And then?”
“You will kill him.”
“My poor girl, think no more of (hat.
Let us fix our minds on gentler things:
let us hope for some escape from this
dreadful fate.”
She sat down on the bare rock, I be-side
her. We both looked out upon the
setting sun, tinting (lie mountains with
ominous blood stains, like those 1 had
seen on the evening I reached the guer-rilla
band. Jack was sitting holding
her knees, rocking back and forth;
Buck was lying on Ins back with his
eyes shut; Ginger had finished a pray-er
and was rising from his knees. Sud-denly
the whole command started up as
if touched by a current of vitality.
There rang out on the still mountain
air the clear tones of a bugle.
There was no hallucination about this
sound. Each note cut the air with
scimiterllke sharpness. To our ears,
whetted as they were for some tidings
of relief, it was like trumpet tones
from heaven. It echoed and re-echoed
through the mountains, each eclio faint-er
than the last, dying softly in the far
distance.
Shading my eyes with my band,
peering down toward the road, I saw
through a small opening in the trees
files of cavalry passing by fours. They
were too far for me to distinguish
whether they wore the blue or the
gray, but it made no difference, either
side would be welcome. Seizing a car-bine,
I pointed it at the sky and fired.
The bugle and my shot produced a
magical effect on the guerrillas. Witu-out
waiting to gather anything but
their arms, every man of them darted
away into the woods. They knew well
what would be their fate could we open
communication with the cavalry.
“Not a moment is to be lost.” I cried
to my command. “That bugle call was
an order to halt. We must catch the
soldiers before they start agaiu.”
Gathering the guns and putting half
a dozen cartridges that remained in
my pocket, we all left the fort that had
served us so well and started down the
declivity. Without the inspiration of
those bugle notes wo could scarcely
have crawled away. Now we not only
walked, but walked rapidly. Once past
the Banking rocks we turned to the
left, skirted the bnse of the hill and
made straight for the road. I led, and
so great was my anxiety to get the
others forward that I was constantly
getting ahead of them. 1 saw that
Buck was lagging, and I started back
to help him when Helen stooped, took
him up in her arms and threw him over
her shoulder. He kicked so vigorously
at tuts indignity that Helen put him
down. and. his fury lending him
strength, lie at once took the lead be-side
me. We hurried on, now and
again looking back to make sure that
we were not followed, climbing over
rocks, through ravines, around project-ing
points. I directing the course to-ward
the spot where 1 had seen the
passing troopers. We had traversed
half the distance when there came an-other
bugle call. It was tile order
“Forward!”
I could not repress an exclamation of
chagrin. 1 knew the guerrillas heard
all we heard, and this last bugle order
would probably arrest their flight and
bring them back after us.
“Come!” 1 cried. “We are still In
peril."
I dashed on for a short distance, then
turned and cast a glance behind me.
Helen was inarching firmly. Jack was
staggering. As 1 looked she pitched
forward and fell. Before I could reach
her Ginger had picked her up and,
gathering her limp body in Ills arms,
her head resting on ids shoulder, car-ried
her on. The burden, so precious to
lljt faithful old slave, seemed to give
linn fresh courage, and he pushed on,
though with tottering steps.
“I’ll relieve you presently. Ginger,”
I said. "Hold out as long as you can.”
We came to a depression, in the cen-
Qinrjer gathered her limp body In his
arms and carried her on
ter of which ran a mountain stream. The
descent and the ascent on the opposite
side were botlf rocky and covered with
a thick growth of low timber and dif-ficult
lo pass. 1 glanced hastily to the
right and to the left, but, seeing no bet-ter
passage, plunged down the decliv-ity.
Buck was now sticking to me like
a leech, Helen was just behind, while
a hundred yards back Ginger stagger-ed
along with Jack. I waited a mo-ment
for him to come up and then led
the way into the ravine, intending to
take his burden from him when we
had passed the stream. Once at the
creek, we waded across. In the mid-dle
Ginger stumbled and dumped bis
burden into the water.
The effect on Jack was marvelous.
The cold water brought a reaction
which, if not pleasing, was at leiT.st
beneficial. She flew into a towering
passion at Ginger for dropping her and
when 1 attempted to take her up, gave
me a box on the ear that made it tin-gle.
Dripping, she dashed up the rise
in the ground, storming as she went,
and gained the summit before the rest.
Pushing through a level wooded
space, we soou came to the road. A
bugle ahead sounded the order to trot.
Scarcely bad its echoes died away
when from the direction of the outlaws’
deserted camp came a shrill whistle.
“The guerrillas!” I cried. “It is now
a race between life and death.”
CHAPTER XVII.
S FLIGHT. WAS at a loss to know what bad
brought a body of cavalry up into
the Cumberland mountains. I
learned afterward that they bad
come from Shelbyville and were on
their way to attack Bridgeport, where
the Memphis and Charleston railroad
crosses the Tennessee, with a view to
burning the bridge. At Tracy City
they had heard of a Confederate force
moving on their flank to cut them off
and retraced their steps. Buck and
Jaqueline had really beard them going
southward early in the afternoon. The
bugle calls we all heard so distinctly
were sounded on their way back.
“Where did you leave your horses?”
I asked quickly of Helen us we hur-ried
on.
“In a clufnp of trees near the road.
There it is now.” She pointed to a
thicket.
Great was my anxiety as 1 ran to the
place designated to know if the horses
were still there. 1 was doomed to dis-appointment;
they were gone. There
was no time for repining over the loss.
1 must think out the problem of our
immediate action, and that instantly.
Two courses were open to us—we might
follow the cavalry northward, or we
could strike out toward the south.
Each plan had its advantages. If we
followed the cavalry, we might succeed
in coming up with them, in which
event we should be safe, but as they
were mounted and we were not there
was little hope of our overtaking them.
Besides, tile guerrillas would expect us
to follow that course. If we pushed
south, we must abandon all hope of
falling in witli the troopers, but would
doubtless mislead the guerrillas and
gain considerable time. We would also
be moving toward the homes of the oth-ers
of the party. 1 struck out south-ward.
"What are yo’ going that way fo’?”
cried Jack.
“It’s the way to go;"
“Well, go ahead; I'm going after the
soldiers.”
She turned and started northward.
1 seized her and, taking her in my
arms, carried her along with the rest,
she raining a shower of blows from
her little fist upon my bend. We
pressed on without a word, till Jack,
either tired of the situation or becom-ing
sensible of the absurdity of her
action, promised that if 1 would put
her down she would go with us peace-ably.
1 set her on the grouud in a
very disgruntled condition.
“I wisli Captain Ringold were here.”
she muttered angrily. “He’d make you
pay fo’ that.”
The road was so winding that 1 did
not fear any one behind could see us
from a distance, while, should we leave
it. our progress would be very slow.
1 chose to take the risk of being seen
and put as great a distance as possible
between us and the outlaws while
they supposed they were on our track
in the direction of the cavalry, for 1
felt sure they would expect us to take
that course. We had uot gone far be-fore
we met a lean countryman on
horseback. In a few words I told him
of our situation and begged him if he
met the guerrillas to mislead them.
When he learned of oitr starving con-dition.
he pulled a small black bottle
containing whisky out of bis saddle-bag.
I forced every member of tlie
party to drink and, tossing the empty
bottle to tin- countryman, hurried on.
1 knew that the stimulant would avail
us but a lltlle while, then would only
make matters worse. Helen walked
on, showing no effect whatever from
the potation Jack danced along ns If
she were at a picnic party, while Buck
suddenly became brave as a lion.
"Don’t yo' think, Mr. Braudystone,”
he said, witli difficulty getting breath
tnottgh to articulate while walking so
fast, "we’d better stop an tight ’em?”
“1 think you’d better stop talking
and save your breath for walking.”
"Reckon we better stop." said flin-ger.
“an thank de I.awd fo' lettin us
out o' dat trap an pray fo' detn g’rillns
t’ git los’ In de wilderness.”
"We can do that while we're walk-ing."
said Helen, “and not lose any
time."
" ’Spec' de pra'rs on de knees is mo'
efllcncerous." replied Ginger, "but meb-be
we don't need ’em like we ilid a spell
ago."
Still there was no sound In our rear.
Helen asked if I did not think that
keeping the road was pretty risky. I
told her that I would soon give the
word to take to the woods. Coming to
a point where there was a turn, leav-ing
a straight piece of road back of us,
1 told tlie rest i« go on while 1 waited
nml watched. I stood casting glances
back till my army reached another
turn in advance, then, pressing for-ward,
caught up with them. In this
way I kept them in the road and main-tained
a rear watch at the same time
for nearly half an hour. Then the
strength of the party, which had thus
far been supplied by excitement, sud-denly
began lo droop, and I, feeling
that I had used all the energy there
was in them, led the way off the road
into the heart of the forest. We bad
scarcely go! into the woods when we
heard a clattering of hoofs on the road.
Whether they were made by Hie guer-rillas'
horses or not I did not know, lint
I felt sure they were. We waited till
they were out of hearing, then every
one sank down on the ground.
“Now, Ginger,” I said, “it is a good
time to give thanks.”
Getting on his knees, Ginger poured
out tlie thanks of the party in words
that came as smoothly nml plentifully
ns the waters of a running stream. I,
being of that persuasion which lias for
its motto. “Trust in God, but keep
your powder dry." and, seeing that Gin-ger
was disposed lo prolong ids thanks-giving
indefinitely, got up and started
to find a convenient place to hide. I
soon struck a little pocket formed by
the coming together of several declivi-ties
and surrounded by thickets. A lit-tle
runnel passed through it, nml.
stooping down, I quenched a thirst that
was burning me. Returning to the
party. I led them to the retreat 1 had
found for them, then left them to go in
search of provisions.
It was now quite dark. I walked
half a mile, when I snw the lights of
Tracy City. Going to the town and
selecting a house standing apart from
the rest, I marched boldly up to it and
knocked at the door. It was opened
by a girl, the only occupant of the
place, a wild eyed creature in dingy
calico, unshod, her square cut locks
tucked behind her ears. She appeared
to be in a ehruaic state of fright and
evidently thought me one of those men
who were going about taking advan-tage
of the absence of restraint induced
by war to help themselves to whatever
they wanted. 1 asked her for some
food and a few cooking utensils, and
when I paid her for them she was
struck dumb with amazement. 1 re-turned
to camp with provisions, match-es.
a skillet and a enffcount.
