PATTISON
GUTHRIE
AND NOLAN
Are the Democratic Nominees
Chosen at Erie.
ONLY ONE BALLOT IS TAKEN
IN THE PARTY’S STATE CONVEN-TION
HELD AT ERIE.
That Was for Governor for Which the
Philadelphian U Named for the Third
Time. The Two Other Places Were
Filled by Acclamation. Colonel Guffey
Was the Moving Spirit and Had Full
Control of the Machinery.
The Democratic state convention,
which was held at Erie Wednesday, was
a warm gathering of the uuterrified
clans, but Colonel James M. Guffey had
full control and as he was for Pattison
for Governor that famous Philadelphian
was nominated for a third time seem-ingly
without the least effort on the
first ballot, having 2231 ballots to 324
for Hon. James Kerr, of Center county,
and 32 for G. W. Guthrie, of Pittsburg.
The nomination was then made unani-mous
and the ticket completed by accla-mation
as follows:
For Governor—ItOBEKT E. PATTISON, of
Philadelphia.
For Lieutenant Governor—GEORGE W.
GDTHItl E. of Pittsburg.
For Secretary of Internal Affairs—JAMES
NOLAN, of Reading.
Following the nomination for Gov-ernor
a number of delegates wanted a
recess taken, but a motion to that effect
was voted down. Ex Judge Calvin
Reyburn, of Armstrong county, whose
name had been mentioned for second
place on the ticket, gracefully withdrew
and Guthrie was named instead.
W. J. Brennen, of Pittsburg, was
then recognized, and he placed in nom-ination
James Nolan, of Berks county,
for Secretary of Internal Affairs, and
appealed to the convention to name his
candidate by acclamation. Judge
Harvey, of Lehigh, seconded Mr. Nolan’s
nomination, and as it had already been
fixed by the leaders, there was no oppo-sition
and the delegates carried out
their instructions.
The platform adopted scores the Re-publican
administration of the state and
the G. O. P. leaders, blaming them for
much corrupt legislation which it
pledges to reform with just laws and an
honest ballot. It favors organized labor
acting within the limits of the law and
invites the aid of all honest men in the
contest now on.
THREATENED LYNCHING.
Narrow Escape of Three Italians at
New Kensington.
Dominick Sandolf, Tony Madrid and
^ Louis Moriana, three Italians, had a
narrow escape from lynching at New
Kensington last Friday evening follow-ing
the shooting of Frank James, a
respected young man of that town.
It seems that the victim’s father,
David James, with John C. Arb, a com-mittee
of striking coal miners, went to
the railroad station to watch for non-union
workmen among whom were the
three Italians named who got off the
train. The committemen attempted to
dissuade them from work when the trio
attacked and beat both strikers and
young James was shot as he ran to his
father’s assistance. It was thought at
first that he would die, but he was able
to be taken to a Pittsburg hospital
Saturday and will likely recover.
After a chase the three foreigners
were captured and landed in the local
lockup. News of the shooting caused a
mob to gather that night about the
lockup and threats of lynching soon
followed. The police, however, spirited
the prisoners off in a carriage and finally
succeeded in landing them in jail at
Greensburg in a somewhat battered
condition.
MEAN ADVANTAGE
Taken of a Scottdale Man Who Was En-tirely
Innocent.
Saturday evening last Bert Roberts, a
Scottdale married man, and a friend
whom Roberts said was Enos Stickle,
an esteemed citizen of the same town,
took three Bridgeport girls out for a
drive that lasted all night which the
party spent in a drunken carousal along
the pike above Laurelville.
One of the girls was a Deemer and
another a daughter of John Sullenberger
who came before Justice McWilliams
and charged the two men named with
having furnished liquor to minors.
Roberts couldn't be found, although
the officer had no trouble getting Mr.
Stickle who waB promptly discharged
as it was shown he was entirely inno-cent,
bis name only having been mali-ciously
given by Roberts.
VETERAN HOTEL MAN
Uncle Johns” Jordan is Seventy-Eight
Years Old Today.
Johnston Barndollar Jordan, the vet-eran
hotel man. now the proprietor of
the Jordan House, Pleasant Unity, is 78
years old today. It was intended to
have a family reunion there in his honor,
but the illness of his daughter, Mrs.
Emil Swensson, of Pittsburg, interfered
and the happy event had to be postponed.
J. B JORDAN,
WHO WILL CELEBRATE HIS 78TH BIRTH
DAY AT PLEASANT UNITY TODAY.
The many old friends of the old gen-tleman
will be pleased to learn that,
while he was confined to his room for
almost two years, he is now able to
move about the house and, with there
turn of summer weather, expects to
ride out. Otherwise, ‘‘Uncle John” is
quite his old self as he approaches the
fourscore line. THE JOURNAL extends
heartiest congratulations and best
wishes.

BRIEF HISTORY COVERING THE PAST CENTURY.
Yesterday was United Presbyterian Day here, the occasion being the celebra-tion
of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of that church, and it goes
without saying that the pastor. Rev. Howard S. Wilson, and his good people did
themselves proud in the entertainment they had provided for all those from a
distance who made up the large attendance upon the interesting exercises that
were held yesterday afternoon and evening in their handsomely decorated church.

DEEP INTEREST
Marked the Proceedings at the Annual
Reformed S. S. Convention,
The tenth annual convention of the
Westmoreland Sunday School Associa-tion
(Reformed church) was held at the
First Reformed church, this city, last
Thursday and Friday. As was previous-ly
stated, it was the largest denamina-tional
gathering in the interests of the
Sunday school cause held in the county.
The Association represents a body of
Sunday school people numbering almost
5,000 souls. Of the thirty-three Reformed
Sunday schools belonging to the associa-tion,
twenty-four were represented.
The meeting throught was character-ized
by a deep interest in all that was
said and done. The delegates came to
be helped and to help others. The
addresses were all of high order. Es-pecially
is mention made of the two
evening addresses by Revs. D. N.
Dittmar and C. J. Musser, D. D.
The officers for the ensuing year are,
President, C. E. Zimmerman, Mount
Pleasant; vice president, A. G. Saxman,
Latrobe; secretary, Miss Anna E.
Berthel, Mount Pleasant; statistical
secretary, Rev. W. H. Tussing, Mount
Pleasant; Treasurer, J. J. Knappen-berger,
Greensburg. The next annual
meeting will be held at Johnstown at a
date to be selected by the executive
committee.
THE PRESENT U. P. CHURCH BUILDING.
!>AA//W,W/W,W 'W/W/W/W/W/W/W/WAA/AA//W'J
The afternoon session was of the open parliament order, with short but
striking addresses by Dr. A. G. Wallace, Secretary of the Board of Church
Extension of the U. P. Church; Rev. Dr. Douthett, of Greensburg; Revs.
Hill and McBride, of Westmoreland Presbytery, and by other members of pres
bytery and ministers from the town. The musical selections throughout, as
rendered by the church choir and Mr. Edward Dermit, of Pittsburg, were es-pecially
well received as were also the efforts of Rev. S. C. Cormany and Mr.
Harry Giles, both of this place. That reverend gentleman, who is a Ciyil war
veteran, having served with the 10th Pennsylvania cavalry, gave an old time
United Brethren service in German; while Mr. Giles lined out a Psalm in the
good, old-fashioned way. The principal address last night was by Rev. Dr. J. T.
McCrory, of Pittsburg, whose subject was, ‘‘Scotch-Irish in America.” The fol-lowing
history of the church is taken from the neat pamphlet prepared by Rev.
Wilson, for whose many kindnesses THE JOURNAL is deeply indebted:

SERIOUS CHARGE
Made Against Ephraim Milligan, a South
Side, Irwin. Man.
Ephraim Milligan, a South Side,
Irwin, man, was arrested Saturday
charged with having poisoned his wife,
who died in April last, in order to get
$180, for which sum her life was insured.
At least, this is the story lold by Mrs.
Rose Roselle, a neighbor woman.
Mrs Roselle says that she was at the
house of the Milligans the night the
woman died, and the husband forced
his wife, who was slightly ill, to take a
dose of something that rendered her
unconscious. Turning to Mrs. Roselle
he pointed a revolver at her and said
that he would kill her if she ever told
on him. The woman adds that Milligan
promised her half of the insurance
money for her silence. This, she says,
was never paid her. The prisoner holds
that it was only morphine he gave his
wife, but bis step sons believe the poison
story as it is said that their step father
and Mrs. Roselle were on very intimate
terms.
Earnest Christian Workers.
A joint convention of the Sunday
school and Luther League workers of
the Southern Conference was held in
the Jeannette Lutheran church Tuesday
and Wednesday. Among the principal
addresses was one on ‘‘Purposes of the
Interdenominational Sunday School
Association” by Rev. W. H. Tussing, of
this place. The reverend gentleman
will assist in the dedication of the new
Youngwood Reformed church Sunday
next, preaching the morning sermon.
an enterprising German, having erected
a public house here in 1793. The first
building of which there is record was
that occupied by Mrs. M. A. Overholt
and torn away in 1884 to give place to
the McElwee and Clark block.
On the Connellsville road, now Church
street, about a stone’s throw south of
the Robbstown and Somerset pike, now
Main street, a shelter called a tent was
erected about the beginning of the last
century, and a certain plot of ground
was consecrated to the preaching of the
gospel, and the banner of the cross set
up there has never been taken down.
The first church building, erected
some time between 1806 and 1812 by
public subscriptions where the present
parsonage now stands, facing Main
street, was a log house about 30 by 40
feet in size. It was open to all denomi-nations,
but used regularly by the Asso

Presbyterian) and United Brethren as
their place of worship. The land was
owned by Clement Burleigh, Esq., a
public-spirited Irishman and prominent
Mason in his day, whose body rests in

church and in the center of the plot he
designed for religious purposes. Above
his grave stands a remarkable tomb-
November 30, 1815, the considera-tion
being $250. Mr. Burleigh probably
intended to donate the ground, but
changed his mind or became dissatisfied
and sold it.
The two denominations occupied the
first church jointly until 1830 when it
was torn down, the logs being sold to
the Presbyterians who used them in the
erection of their first church, now the
site of the West End Cnureb of God.
The new building was of brick, 30 by
50 feet, and also faced Main street. In
1854 the United Brethren people sold
out their interest for $350 and built for
themselves a brick place of worship on
Main street. The deed of this transfer
is dated September 2, 1854, the dissolu-tion
requiring a special act of the Legis-lature.
The present handsome edifice
was built in 1871.
Following the founding of the church
there were supplies until 1807 when
Rev. Mungo Dick, a Scotchman, was
installed as the first regular pastor, his
pastorate extending over a period of
sixteen years. From 1823 the pulpit
was again supplied until April 30, 1839,
when Rev. Richard Gailey was chosen
pastor. He served the congregation as
! such for ten years. His successor was
Rev, D. H. Pollock who remained in
charge four years. Supplies again fol-lowed
until 1856 when Rev. J. H, Fife,
A. M., became pastor and served five
years. He also filled the presidency of
Union College, now the Mount Pleasant
Institute. The fifth pastor was Rev.
Alexander B. Fields who had charge of
the churches here and at Madison for
four years, having been installed in
November, 1862. Following his pastor-age
a vacancy of four years ensued
j before Rev. J. A. Nelson began his four
years’ ministry here in August, 1871,
j when the erection of the present edifice
was begun. The only surviving ex-pastor
is Rev. R. B. Taggart who had
I charge of the church from 1877 to 1883.
He now resides at Harriman, Tennessee,
i and has recently been teaching lan-j
guage in Missouri College. Rev.
Howard S. Wilson, the present pastor,
began his faithful work here on May 1,
! 1884.
The elders who composed the first
session were Francis Andrews, the
grandfather of Mrs. Charles E. Cunning-ham,
of this place, and Mrs. John E.

LOOKS AS If
GAY’S CHANCES
ARE ABOUT NIL
According to Reliable State-ments
from Greensburg.
TODAY WILL TELL THE TALE
AS THE CONTEST COMMITTEE WILL
THEN MAKE ITS REPORT.
A few Figures on the Commissioner
Fight That Go to Show that Nels Has
the Votes all Right, Even with the new
Rule in Force, but the Funk People are
in the Majority and It’s Dollars to
Doughnuts their Man iB Declared the
Nominee.
The long dispute over the counting of
votes at the recent Democratic primary
election, eighteen districts having been
held up, has developed some facts that
annoy the contest committee and tend
to discredit the entire proceedings. That
the committee is determined to count
Gay out for Commissioner goes without
saying. It is a distinctively Funk or-ganization.
Some of its members, it is
said, have openly boasted of their pur-pose
to defeat Gay and the sessions are
held in the strictest privacy in order to
facilitate the already alleged purpose and
the public is incensed at the protracted!
dispute and is charging cowardice on
the members for not declaring their in-tention
to rob the people of their right-ful
choice
The most flagrant frauds are said to
have been unearthed, in which Fnnk
profitted. One district reported its vote
for him which was credited and counted
where no election was held. The papers *
were prepared by one man, sent in and
the vote counted. Other frauds equally
glaring have come to light.
Considerable indignation is expressed
over the conduct of John Y. Woods,
who acted as return judge in the con-vention
when he was not elected to that
position. He was merely the messenger
of Captain Mitchell, of Ludwick, the-regularly
elected judge. Woods made
himself conspicuous in the convention
and protested against several returns
being counted.
The total returns, outside of Allegheny
township, give Gay 3,059, a majority of
590 over Fnnk. If the new rule limit-ing
the primary vote to that cast for
Bryan for President is enforced, Gay in
the Arnold, Spring Garden. Bessemer,
Strohm, Idlepark and Hempfield No. 2
districts, would lose 364 votes, while
Funk’s total would be cut down 211 in
the returns from Idlepark, Hempfield
No. 5 and Youngwood for the same
reason, but this would still leave Gay
237 to the good. He also ran ahead of
Fnnk in the four Allegheny township
districts.
But these figures seem to have little
weight with the committee which will
meet again today and it is said will
declare Fnnk the nominee. It that
event Gay intends to go into court and
air the whole matter, of which the end
is not yet.
THE BUSY BURGLAR.
One of the Biggest Roberies in Somerset
County’s History.
The biggest robbery in the history of
Somerset county was committed early
Wednesday morning, when burglars
forced an entrance to Perry J. Blongh’s
general store at Hooversville, 12 miles
north of Somerset, and blew open the
safe with nytroglycerine. They got
$1,000 in gold, $1,200 in currency and
checks, from $16,000 to $20,000 in judg-ment
and promisory notes and $50 worth
of postage stamps.
There were three men in the gang and
they were seen leaving the town on a
hand car, in the direction of Johnstown.
The explosion did not arouse any of the
residents of Hooversville and the rob-bery
was not discovered until Mr.
Blougb opened his store at 7 o’clock that
morning.
Blongh recently was elected president
of the First National bank of Hoovers-ville,
a charter for which was granted
two months ago, but which has not yet
opened for business. Most of the notes
have been recorded, but unless all of
them are recovered Blough's loss will
not fall short of $10,000 or $12,000, and
may be total.
Braddock Store Sold.
J. B. F. Smith, of this place, one of
the most popular young company store
managers in the coke region, has bought
the big dry goods store of Braddock &
Co. aud will take possession as soon as
an account of the stock can be taken.
While only in the prime of life, James
S. Braddock, the head of the firm, is a
veterau merchant. His experience ex-tends
back for a perion of twenty-nine
years, for all but seven of which he did
business for himself.

F[Copyright, 1902, by G. L. Kilmer.] ARHAOUT’S nnval expedition,
fitted out during the winter of
1802, to attack New Orleans
cunie ns an afterthought In
"Washington. The first plan adopted
for prosecuting the war on the water
was to blockade every important har-bor
on the southern coast. But the
fleet of new Ironclads built on the up-per
Mississippi In the fall of 1801 was
looking for more sea room, which could
only be had by seeking It down stream.
Now, if ships could plow one way I hey
could the other, and In spite of the woe-ful
unpreparedness of those times I he
contract was given out on the spur
of the moment to open up the lower
Mississippi and cut the Confederacy In
two.
Mr. George W. Cable, the author,
who sometimes speaks for Crooledom.
says that the outlook in the winter of
18U2 didn’t worry the Confederates
blockaded In the Crescent City. “Noth-ing
that walks can cross the swamps,”
was the cheerful cry of the populace on
the levees.
When Lincoln was appealed to by
Captain D. 1). Porter, who had been on
blockade duty In the gulf, to send ships
and soldiers to New Orleans, he said:
“This should have been done before.
The Mississippi is the backbone of the
Confederacy.”
The plan put down on paper was to
send at once a war fleet mounting 200
guns, a powerful mortar flotilla and an
army of 20,000 soldiers to raze the forts
at the mouth of the Mississippi, capture
New Orleans and fortify the river
bluffs ns far up ns Vicksburg. At the
same time the ironclad gunboats hem-med
in around St. Louis and Cairo and
never yet under fire would fight their
way down the river and unite forces
around Vicksburg.
Captain Porter created out of raw
materials, nlmosf, the mortar fleet, a pe-culiar
adjunct of the navy, designed to
fight against land forts. The required
vessels were not yet owned by the gov-ernment
when the expedition was plan-ned.
They were to number twenty,
each carrying a 13 Inch mortar and two
32 pound cannon., The mortars and the
20,000 bombshells to he thrown at the
New Orleans defense were not yet
cast. Warships for convoy of the mor-tar
boats and transports for the troops
were far away on distant stations.
McClellan allotted 20,000 soldiers
from uew regiments, and Ben Butler
was appointed to lead them. In Janu-ary
and February the troops were
transported to Ship island, near New
Orleans, for rendezvous, the warships
to follow ns fast as they could be gath-ered
and fitted out. The next step was
the choice of a commander for the
great fleet. Captain Porter said that
he personally suggested his father's
protege and the friend and shipmate of
his boyhood. Captain David Glasgow
Farragut, then over sixty years of ago
and on waiting orders.
Farragut was a southerner by birth
and breeding. At the time of the fir-ing
on Sumter in April, 1861, he lived
at Norfolk, Va„ surrounded by south-ern
officers who were tinctured with
the doctrine of "states rights.” In
discussing the future of the country he
said to his fire eating comrades: “Mind
What I tell you. You fellows will get

this.” The old sailor knew what he
was talking about, for he had been one
of Andrew Jackson’s military posse in
the suppression of the Charleston nul-lificrs
in 1833.
Farragut had never applied for active
service in the civil war, but had sim-ply
reported himself ready for duty.
The navy department was in doubt
whether he would go to sea to fight his
old comrades. Captain Porter believed
that his friend would fight and was
finally delegated to visit Farragut's
home on the Hudson and tender him
the command of the New Orleans ex-pedition
in the name of the govern-ment.
Without asking for particulars
he accepted the offer, and on Jan. 20,
1802, was formally ordered to take
charge of the fleet yet to be created and
push things. One important clause iu
his written instructions was open to
double interpretation or at least to a
reservation. After citing the outfit,

armament and so on at his disposal
the order said, “You will proceed up
the Mississippi river and reduce the
defenses which guard the approaches
to New Orleans.” Herein was no hint
that the southern Confederates might
show open hostility to the progress of
a Yankee fleet “up the Mississippi •’Iv-or.”
But they did.
The southerners appreciated Ihe
“backbone” importance of the Missis-sippi
for the purposes long before
President Lincoln coined the term. In
April, 1.801, while tlie business of seiz-ing
Federal forts on southern soil was
very brisk, they bad hoisted the bon-ny
blue flag over two old citadels
standing on opposite sides of the river
below New Orleans. Fort Jackson, (lie
first above the month, was a star
shaped fortress, built of stone and
mounting seventy-four guns, heavy
and light. There were strong bomb-proofs
and casemates and a citadel of
heavy masonry which, in anticipation
of some raiding Farragut, they stored
with ammunition and supplies for a
long siege. Fort Philip, across the
rivet front Fort Jackson, was built of
stone and brick and mounted flfty-two
guns.
The best channel up the river from
the bar ran near the west bank under
the guns of Fort Jackson. This passage-way
the Confederates blocked with n
row of old hulks anchored and bound
together with chain cables. Several
tugs and steamers fitted out for battle
during the summer and fnli of 1861 pa-trolled
the river above the line of
hulks, and farther up stream, in actual
waiting while Farragut was scouring
northern harbors for bis ships, lay the
new ironclad Louisiana, mounting
twelve guns, nml the ponderous whale
backed iron ram Manassas. Several
converted steamers, cotton clad, with
heavy bales around their engines and
machinery, completed the river defense
fleet. Still another ironclad, the Missis-sippi,
was on the ways and nearly fin-ished.
In the minds of the hopeful cre-oles
tills vessel alone could sweep the
river of anything afloat If she got rendy
in time. All told, there were 100 guns
on shipboard and in forts waiting to
welcome Farragut whenever lie felt
inclined to “proceed up the Mississippi
river” with Ids wooden fleet. Torpe-does
had not then come into general
use, but the Louisianians had another
infernal invention for the occasion in
the shape of lire rafts loaded with in-flammables
to be sent among the ene-my’s
fillips.
Farragut reached the army rendez-vous
in person Feb. 20, 1862, but not
until March 18 were the war steamers
assigned him on the scene. Some of the
strips sent down were too heavy to
cross the sand bar at the mouth of the
river even after lightening, and two
weeks’ time was lost in getting the fleet
in position to move against the enemy.
Even then the largest vessel of the
squadron, the fifty gun frigate Colora-do,
did not cross the bar. The fleet
which finally went into action consist-ed
of the first class screw sloops Hart-ford,
Brooklyn. Richmond and Pensa-cola,
the second class sloops Oneida,
Vanina and Iroquois, the screw gun-boats
Cayuga. Itasca, Katalidin, Ken-nebec,
Kineo, Pinola, Sciota, Winona
and Wlssuhlckon, the sailing sloop
Portsmouth and the side wheeler Mis-sissippi.
Not an ironclad in the bunch,
yet three ironclads were up the river,
expecting in due time to rival if not
eclipse the exploits of the terrible Mer-riniac
in Hampton Roads March 8.
Porter’s mortar flotilla comprised six
wooden steamers acting ns consorts
and tenders for the twenty wooden
! mortar schooners.
Half of the month of April slipped
by before the fighting ships were
across the bar. The Richmond stuck in
the mud every time she tried to cross
under a pilot Finally Captain Porter
took the wheel and guided her over at
the first attempt. The Mississippi was
stripped of her coal, guns, sail, spars
and provisions, and then it required
six steamers, tugging eight days, to
pull her through.
On the 16th of April the fleet was
well into the channel, within three
miles of Fort Jackson. Porter’s mor-tar
fleet went into hiding on both
banks of tlio river, curtained or dis-guised
by the hrauches of trees. The
range to Fort Jackson was one mile
and a half and to Fort Philip two
miles.
For nearly five days the mortars
poured shells into the forts, averaging
u hundred shots an hour. After firing
over 2,000 shells the men at the guns
were exhausted, one schooner was
sunk and the rest badly damaged by
the heavy concussion. The schooner
sunk was the only serious effect of the
return fire from the forts, although
they fought furiously. Farragut held
his ships in hand for the grand attack.
The night of the 20th Captain Bell
again ventured up the river and cut
away a stretch of the cable obstruc-tion
for the ships to pass in single file.
The enemy opened a hot fire cn the
party, but failed to stop the work.
With the channel free it was up to
Farragut to proceed ns he had been or-dered
or sink his ships in the attempt
He prepared to hoist the signal for ad-vance
the night of the 23d of April, but
the carpenters of the flagship Hartford
were at work down the river, and he
didn’t care to risk battle in a wooden
shell without means at hand to patch
the shot holes. This delayed the dash
at the forts one day.

Don’t Forget This:
There is only one Glassport. Oh yes, there are other
new towns, good ones, too, but it will take them probably
ten years to do what Glsssport has already done. Plight
big industries with employment for 5,000 skilled hands are
the basis of Glassport’s growth. Come and see for your-self.
Paving and sewering of Monongahela avenue, the
main street, and the double tracking of the United Traction
Company’s line are under way just now.
Houses—why, there are not enough for half the peo-ple
who work in Glassport. Buy a lot and you’ll make
money. Everyone who ever bought a lot has made money.
They can’t help it.

©HOES. We want to tell you something’
about our shoes and our manner of conducting the shoe
business.
Ladles’, misses’ and Children's Shoes.
We have the best line of ladies’ misses’ and chil-dren's
shoes to be found anywhere. Our ladies’ dress
shoes at $1.50, $1.75 and $2.00 are wonders for the
money, and our $2.50, $15.00 arid $3.50 goods are some-thing
to delight the particular and correct foot dresser.
Do not forget that we guarantee every pair.
man’s, Youths’ and Bays’ Shoes.
Our dress shoes for the man, the youth, and the
boy cannot be surpassed, and are rarely equalled in
any particular. Think of men’s fine shoes at $1.50,
guaranteed in every part, and we take them back if
they are not satisfactory, and ask no questions. Our
$2.00, $2.50 and $3.00 shoes are good enough for any-body,
but if you want to pay for silk linings, silk facings
and fancy stitching, we have the greatest “up-to-date,
stylish stuff” in the world at $4.00 and $5.00. They
are guaranteed, and cost you nothing if they do not
wear well. Babies’ Shoes.
Our babies’ shoes are neat and nobby, all colors
and designs. There is nothing a mother feels more
proud of than a pretty pair of shoes on her little tot’s
feet. We realize this, and have laid in a stock with a
view to satisfying the mother’s pride. We have a
beautiful line of soft soles for the wee little ones.

Working Shoes.
Last, but far from least, come the working shoes.
There are thousands of men and boys who will tell you
they wear the U. S. Co. $1.00, $1.25 or $1.50 working
shoe, and that is all they care to know about it. They
know that “U. S. Co. working shoe” means value and
satisfaction. They are all guaranteed.
A Word About Our Shoe Guarantee.
Our guarantee covers every pair of shoes we sell,
and it means something, for we are ready to back it up.
If they are not what we say they are, and what the
factory has said to us they are, ,we give you your
money, and in the end the loss fails on the original
maker of the shoes. So that you can lose nothing, and
we can lose nothing, if you buy your shoes from us.
Can we offer anything fairer than this, or can you get
this same guarantee elsewhere?

THK MOUNT PUKA8ANT JOURNAL, FRIDAY. JI'NB 27, 1902
As Judged From the Past Week’s
Trade Reports
WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED
FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS
OF THE JOURNAL
The Anthracite Strike hae Begun to have
a Depressing Effect in the East, But
From the Interior and the far West
Bountiful Harvest Reports With Light
Stocks Indicate Continued Food Times.
Trade at the east ifl quiet, owing to
the advancing aeaaon, and the bad effect
of prolonged labor controversies ia being
felt in certain lines. Reports from the
interior and the far west are more en
conraging, bountiful harvests being ex
pected, while the light stocks carried
over from the previous season assure
profitable prices. The best indication
,of continued prosperity is the fact that
quotations do not recede, even in the
lines where at present there is only a
moderate degree of activity. Railway
earnings thns far reported for June in
creased 8.0 per cent, aver 1900.
Uncertainty regarding their ability to
secure pig iron at reasonable prices is
making producers of steel cautious in
accepting contracts that call for de-livery
at even remote dates. Raw ma-terial
is undoubtedly in light supply,
and the anthracite coal strike has sus-pended
work at a number of furnaces.
Coke production is attaining new rec-ords
each week in the endeavor to supply
all requirements, and better railway
facilities are making unprecedented
shipments from the Connellville region. !
^bioft coal is beginning to show the effect
of an abnormal demand.
In certain lines of finished steel,

the productive capacity has had a per-

Baptist Young: People’s Union.
On account of the meeting of the
Baptist Yonng People’s Union, at Pro-ceptible
influence on prices, introducing vidence, R. I., July 10 to 18, the Penn-inore
competition. This factor is felt eylyania Railroad Company will sell ex-in
only a few divisions, however, and in cnrsion tickets to Providence and re-all
heavy lines, notably rails and strnc- turn, on July 8, 9, and 10, good to re-tnral
material, orders run far into next turn until July 20, inclusive, from all
year.
Quiet conditions prevail in Eastern
drygoods and footwear markets. A
stronger silver market has revived pur-chases
for export to China, although,
like the home trade, this is still on a
moderate scale. Supplemental buying
of woolens is also limited. It is note-worthy
that prices in all textile lines
are firmly held, despite the slow move-ment,
indicating confidence on the part
of sellers. Shoe shops in New England
have more orders, yet most factories
only operate part time, and some are
entirely idle. Leather is dull and for-eign
dry hides weaker.
Lack of rain in the southwest is the
only Beriously unfavorable crop indica-tion
of the week, while exceptionally
encouraging reports are received from
most points. Domestic grain makes
good progress, but bad news has been
received from abroad and the outlook is
favorable for large exports.
Failures for the week number 194 in
the IJnited States, against 198 last year,
and 19 in Canada, against 14 a year ago.

Startling proof of a wonderful ad-vance
in medicine is given by druggist
G. W. Roberts, of Elizabeth, W. Va.
An old man there had long suffered with
what good doctors pronounced incurable
cancer. They believed his case hope
less till he used Electric Bitters and ap-plied
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, which
treatment completely cured him.
When Electric Bitters are used to expel
bilious, kidney and microbe poisons at
the same time this salve exerts its
matchless healing power, blood diseases,
skin eruptions, ulcers and sores vanish.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY!
The speech which former President
Cleveland delivered at the late New
York harmony meeting of the Tilden
Club has all stirred up Hon. William
Jennings Bryan's gall whose owner
comes back at drover with both feet.
In the course of bis cutting remarks
the famous Nebraskan says:
“Having debauched bis party, ho was
offended by its effort to reform and gave
comfort to the enemy. Virginlus killed
his daughter to save her chastity; Cleve-land
stabbed bis party to prevent its
return to tho paths of virtue. Now,
still gloating over his political crimes,
he invites the party to return to him
and apologize to him for the contempt
which it has expressed for him. Will
itf Not until the principles of .Teller
son are forgotten and the works of
Jackson cease to inspire.”
It would seem from the above that if
the object of the Gotham gathering of
nnterrified was party harmony, the
Tilden Clnb made an awful mistake in
having poor old Grover for one of its
speakers.
HUFF'S OPPOSITION.
Before the late Republican primaries
it was thonght Colonel George F. Huff
wonld not be opposed by any faction in
this county, but since the state conven
tion it is said that conferences have been
held by some of the old line tjuay peo
pie with the object of throwing Col.
Huff overboard. Late Greensburg cor
respondents in a FittBburg paper says:
“It is told here that Senator Quay
has been notified that should Colonel
Huff be given the district nomination
by the umpire, who will doubtless be
appointed by the state committee, the
opponents of Huff will see that the
Legislature delegations will not vote for
Penrose to succeed himself as United
Staten Senator."
This story may or may not be true,
but there are those who would shed no
tears of regret should the expected
deadlock in the approaching conference
be broken by the Slate Central Commit
tee s umpire declaring in favor of the
Butler candidate. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company’s wishes may, how
ever, be felt in the contest.
manner and fair and impartial dealings
during his six years’ service as their
superior officer, said:
“In selecting this testimonial they
chose one that will he useful in your
household one that will ever remind
you and yours of the past and the many
friends you have left behind. Your
sterling qualities, the promulgation of
sound principle, endeared you in the
hearts of your subordinates, and they
ask that you accept this testimonial,
not for its value, hut ns an nttestntlon
of their friendship and appreciation of
the acts of a man among men.”
Of course, our lucky "Billy” fully
appreciated this beautiful present and
nil that, but the set as n gift isn't in it
with the present just made him by his
wife a son and heir of the buster order.
Marsh tobies are good enough for us,
papa. ^
THE Democratic state ticket is made
up of splendid men and is geographical
ly perfect, but it remains to lie seen
it has the political strength required to
wipe out a big Republican majority.
Pattison has done the trick twice,

THE coronation of King Edward has
been indefinitely postponed following
an operation peformed upon him Tues-day
for a severe form of appendicitis,
from the effect of which his life is in the

English speaking brothers.
THE 100th ANNIVERSARY
OF THE FOUNDING OF THE
LOCAL U. B. CHURCH,
LESSONS IN STREET FAIRS.
Last week Scottdale had what was
ailed a “Merchants' Carnival,” orBtreet
air given by a traveling aggregation
hat is making a circuit of Western
’ennsylvania towns from which it can
score the necessary privileges. The
reek was scarcely half over when the
icottdale business men came out in a
ard in the local papers, expressing
heir most earnest desire to have it gen-rally
known that they had nothing to
o with the show which is at Greens-iurg
this week. After one day’s taste
he “Argus” there has this to say:
“In good faith the “Argns” announc-d
in previous issues the then approach-ng
merchants’ carnival, which was un
lerstood to be such in name and in fact.
Jut it is neither. Instead, the streets
,re blockaded with tent shows of the
aidway order, and freaks, fakes and
akirs are seen on every hand. Not a
ingle merchant, so far as can be learn-id,
has identified himself either directly
ir remotely with the enterprise, and
nst how Council was hoodwinked into
[ranting a permit to thus obstruct the
nain thoroughfares and retard traffic
hereon is too abBtruse a problem for the
iqmprehension of the average mind.”

Stoner, of near Scottdale, and John
Gant, whose farm near Tarr still re-tains
the family name. His grandson
is Francis Andrews, of this place.
Among the original members were
Samuel Warden and Mrs. Nancy Neil-son.
The former was the grandfather
of Hon. James S. and Clark Warden
and came to this country from the
north of Ireland in 17(15. Mrs. Neilson
was the mother jf Mrs. N. A. Miller,
of this place, and. Miss Mary Neilson
who died during the present pastorate.
Her grandchildren here are Miss Emma
and John Sherman Miller.
The oldest member in the chnrch and
one of the oldest ladies in the county is
Mrs. Foster, of near Reagantown, who
passed her 97th birthday the With of
March last. She still retains all her
faculties to a marked degree.
Smallpox Oases.
The people of Harrison City were
further alarmed Friday last when one
of their smallpox patients, Miss Sadie
Baughman, died of the disease. She
was 18 years of age.
James Stewart, a railroader, and
Annie Schleicher, aged 17 years, have
the disease at Connellsville. The local
health authorities have quarantined
both cases.
Tenth Regiment Changes.
The Tenth regiment’s surgeon, Major
George F. Neff, of Masontown, has re
signed and Colonel Barnett has recom-mended
the appointment of the assis
tant, Captain John W. Coffin, of Beaver
Falls, to fill the vacancy. Dr. Edwin
H. Lowe, of Ruffsdale, one of the hos-pital
stewards, will get Coffin's place.
LUCKY “BILLY" McCALEB.
A week ago today William B. Mc-ileb,
a son of Mr. and Mrs. John D.
cCaleb, of this place, who is superin-adent
of the Middle Division of the
innsylvania Railroad Company, was
nght in his Harrisburg office by a
rty of employes of that road’s Sun-irg,
Lewistown and Shamokin divi-ms,
from whose superintendency he
is recently promoted to his present
isition, and by them presented with a
mplete solid silver table set—knives,
rks, spoons and in fact all the tools
quired in the service of a good, square
eal. Chief Clerk W. K. Keefer, the
okesman, in telling of the pleasure
was for him to present a testimonial
his fellows’ high regard and esteem,
stly won by Mr. McCaleb’s kindly
Connellsville Suicide.
Nathaniel Shaw committed suicide at
Connellsville Monday'by shooting him-self
in the head with a revolver. He
was 44 years of age and had served a
term in the regular army. Several years
ago he made an unsuccessful attempt at
self murder by jumping from the Yougb

F(Copyright, 1902, by Q. L. Kilmer.] A It U A (JUT’S fighting ships
weighed anchor soon after mid-night
April 24, 18(52, and by 2
o’clock a. m. were making the
llrst dash toward carrying out the or-ders
to “proceed up the Mississippi
river." A French admiral and a British
eaptniti had sailtd up stream the even-ing
before and talked with the Confed-erate
commanders in Fort Jackson and
Fort Philip, the heavy armed citadels
which guarded the channel. They told
Farragut that It would be Impossible
for his wooden sliipa to pass the barri-ers
of obstructions the enemy had plac-ed
In his way and live through the fire
of the forts.
Farragut had 192 guns mounted on
seventeen wooden war sloops and gun-boats.
The enemy could bring to bear
120 guns on land and forty in batteries
nfloat. Below Fort Jackson, the first
fortress, a line of anchored hulks bound
together with iron chain cables had
completely obstructed the channel un-til
the night of tlie 20th, when Farm-gut’s
chief of staff, with the crews of
a couple of gunboats, had cut a pas-sage
through them under fire. Through
large enough to blow the sloop out of
water,landed in the Brooklyn's timbers,
but did not explode because the Con-federate
gunners In their hurry had
failed to remove the lead patch from
the exploding fuse. Passing on and
leaving the Louisiana, the Brooklyn
got a blow from the ram Manassas and
at the same tire? a shot from the ram
which smashed through the planking
and lodged In a sand bag barricade.
The ram lay so low In the water that
the Brooklyn’s guns could not strike
her.
It was still dark and the river veiled
In smoke. One strange ship which
passed the Brooklyn close on the port
side would have been sent to the bot-tom
by a broadside, but at the moment
of firing a voice on the deck of the
sloop called out: “Don't shoot! It’s the
Iroquois!” The order was obeyed, and
thus the Confederate gunboat Mcltae.
whose captain had just been killed by
a shot from the Iroquois, got a short
lease of life. This incident ended the
stirring adventures of the Brooklyn.
She had been struck seventeen times
in the hull and lost thirty-five men. The
wooden ships of the Federal fleet net
“GIVE THAT RASCALLY TUG A SHOT!”
this opening the leading division of
sloops and gunboats, under Captain
Theodoras Bailey, steamed cautiously.
In passing Fort Jackson the noises on
shipboard alarmed the Confederates
on shore, and they were ready to wel-come
Fnrragut's second division, head-ed
by his flagship Hartford, with n
fusillade from the batteries on the
beach and from the lofty parapets of
the fort. Bailey’s ships passed on to
Fort Philip, oil the opposite bank.
The gunners of this fort were driven
from their posts by a hot lire of grape
and canister before they could cripple
the leading ships. Above the fort* the
Cayuga. Varuna and Oneida dashed
into the enemy’s fleet, already moving
down stream to meet the invaders.
The noise of paddle wheels and the
firing of the forts had summoned them
to the scene.
Farragut's flagship Hartford alone
made the first heavy fight at Fort
Philip. Her consort, the Brooklyn,
had attempted to pass the gap in the
obstructions and keep in line, but'ow-ing
to the darkness got caught in the
hulks by one of her own dangling ca-bles
under the fire of Fort Jackson.
Some unknown hero ran out and cut
the hawser with an ax, and then she
swung tbrorgh the gap into a nest of
fire rafts.
The Hartford soon after passing Fort
Philip encountered a blazing Are raft
which was pushed against her side by
a tugboat. Farragut called away his
firemen and stood by until they put out
the Are, which climbed half way to the
tops. On the burning side the flames
drove the Hartford men from their
guns, and Farragut shouted: “Don’t
flinch at thnt fire, boysi Give that ras-cally
little tug a shot! Don’t let her
escape!” The tug was sunk. Already
the Hartford had thirty-two shot holes
in her hull and rigging.
While Farragut was fighting fire the
Brooklyn lay for a time dead in the
current under the guns of Fort Jack-son.
She would have been blown out
of water had the enemy fired low.
But their beach guns were out of
range, and those on the parapet could
not be depressed enough to strike a
ship near shore. The Brooklyn open-ed
with shell and shrapnel on the fort
and kept it up until the Hartford WUB
clear of the lire raft and her flames ex-tinguished.
Then she steamed up the
river uud headed for the ironclad Lou-isiana,
which lay moored to the bank
above Fort Philip. The Louisiana fir-ed
a couple of shots at the Brooklyn,
then closed her port shutters to receive
the Brooklyn’s broadsides.
One of the Louisiana’s nlnelnchshclls,
ther avoided the Confederate ironclads
nor rushed into collision with them.
Farragut ordered the big stern wheeler
Mississippi to try to ride down the ram
Manassas, and the ram promptly
sheered and ran ashore. Then the Mis-sissippi
stood off and riddled her with
shot until her cables were cut, and she
drifted helplessly down the river, final-ly
exploding in midstream.
While Farragut was "proceeding up
the Mississippi” through fire and smoke
mid blazing guns Porter continued to
bombard the water batteries at the
forts. At noon of the 25th, when the
Federal fleet was known to have an-chored
in front of the city of New Or-leans,
Porter hailed Fort Jackson to
surrender. The Confederate command-er,
General Duncan, replied that he
must first hear from New Orleans.
Porter suggested that Farragut wns
looking after New Orleans, but to save
all dispute he would put a few thou-sand
more bombs into the definnt forts.
He kept on firing until April 28, when
Duncan concluded that New Orleans
had left him to his fate and hoisted the
white flag.
The officers who were to arrange
terms of capitulation met on board the
historic little steamer Harriet Lane,
which had played a part at Fort Sum-ter.
After Porter had signed, Com-mander
Wainwright of the Harriet
Lane took up the pen. Just at the mo-ment
he was called from the cabin by
an officer, and he quickly returned with
the startling news thnt the Confeder-ate
ironclad Louisiana was in flames,
drifting down stream into the group of
Federal vessels anchored before the
fort, and she was liable to blow up at
any moment. Porter said to the Con-federate
officers who were yet to sign:
“If you can stand the explosion, we
can. Let us go on and finish the capit-ulation.”
Duncan next took the pen
and was followed by the second in
command. As the last name was affix-ed
the party were lifted • from their
seats by an explosion which threw the
ship over on her side. The Louisiana
had blown up a moment too late to cut
short the capitulation.
Some of the Confederate ships fought
valiantly at New Orleans, especially
the Governor Moore, commanded by
Lieutenant Beverly Kennon, an ex-offi-cer
of the United States navy. Farrp-gut’s
attack was not a surprise after
the weeks of deliberate preparation
within sight of the lower forts. But
the rush in the darkness past the guns
and through the Confederate fleet was
a stunning surprise to the defenders on
the spot and to the world.

"1 would welcome him upon my
staff,” said the general, whereupon
Korna made proper acknowledgments,
and the Incident seemed happily closed.
‘‘As to the Russian force now lying
between us and Gredskpv,” said Kor-ns,
“1 have certain information, hut
Mr. Darrell has much more, so that I
hesitate to speak before he has been
heard.”
This judicious remark brought Dar-rell
back to the center of the stage, and
his report was eagerly received. It ap-peared
Immediately that his informa-tion
was far more accurate than any
that had previously been brought In
Ills estimate of the Russian force, with
sketches of its position, made the situ-ation
seem far more serious than It
had hitherto been considered. It was
obvious that the Russians must expect
to co-operate with a force moving down
from the north and that the plan was
to annihilate the little Circassian army-in
Vladikaukns.
“The position which they have tak-en,”
said Darrell, “is merely that of
the greatest advantage in case your
orce should attempt a voluntary move-ment
toward Gredskov. At the proper
time they will advance to invest this
city closely upon the south, but they
do not wish to do it prematurely be-cause
they are not strong enough to
take the place by assault, and an in-decisive
action might result In bring-ing
up Prince Kilziar’s army in their
ar. Clearly there lias been some
hitch In their plan, for the thing was
to have been done quickly; otherwise
this flying column of Russians might
be caught by Kilziar’s advance and be
in a bad place. Something has delay-ed
their larger f irce that was to move
down from tLe north, or you would
already lie engaged with it. They cer-tainly
must have expected to take Vla-dikaukas
this .nothing.”
"Kilziar’s scouts should have report-ed
the presence of this force,” said
Vera, "and lie should already be ad-vancing.”
“We have no knowledge that such is
the case,” said the general. “We can-
Tiot assume that the prince Is in pos-session
of information equal to ours.
The immediate need is to send word to
him. He is probably in the same posi-tion
that we were in before Mr. Dar-rell’s
arrival, aware, of course, that the
communications had been cut. but in
Ignorance that it had been done by n
force sufficient to menace seriously our
position here.”
“Let the messengers be chosen at
once!” exclaimed Vera. “I will prepare
the orders. We will catch these Rus-sians
iike a gnat in a glove.”
And she made a very graceful ges-ture
to enforce the metaphor.
“1 will attend to tills matter in per-son,”
said tlie general, “with the as-sistance
of Colonel Koran. In the
meantime it may be that Mr. Darrell
will prepare duplicate maps of the
Russian position ns lie saw it. They
will be carried by our men and will as-sist
them In getting through tlie lines.”
Darrell bowed ns the general and
Koran left tlie room. Vera made a
place for him nt. the table beside her,
and he began his work without a word.
* . -Sentries paced the veranda outside the
windows, and two were on guard in tlie
ball, but no one was within hearing.
The noises of the camp came very
faintly, and the sound of Darrell’s pen-cil
was audible in the room.
“I trust that you conveyed my thanks
and ray apologies to Mr. and Mrs. Gor-don,”
said Vera suddenly.
Darrell passed his hand across his
forehead as one does who would steady
his wits.
“I was not authorized to speak for
you,” he said, “tut I know that they
fully understood. Of course your sud-den
departure gave us great anxiety.
We were afraid that In escaping from
the police you had run into the hands
of the czar’s agents. It was for that
reason that I went to Stavropol, re-membering
that you had said you
might be taken there.”
“But I told you where I was going!”
she exclaimed. “1 gave you word for
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon. I gave you the
means of seeing me again in Paris.”
Darrell slowly shook his head.
“I know nothing of this,” he said.
“It was all—all In your hat,” she
cried, stammering prettily in her ex-citement.
"All in my hat?” he echoed. “I real-ly
beg your pardon”—
“1 could not find you that last night,”
she said hurriedly. “Your hat was ly-ing
on the table. I wrote a note and
put it under the band inside, so that
you must And it when you put the hat
on.”
“I haven’t seen it from that day to
this,” said Darrell. “A servant must
have taken it to my room.”
They sat looking into each other’s
face in silence for at least a minute,
each thinking of the pain of mind that
this trivial accident had caused.
“I heard that you had gone to Stavro-pol,”
said Vera, “but I could not guess
that you were in search of me. In
Stavropol you disappeared, and I fear-ed
that you had been murdered by
some avenger of Ladislov. It was al-most
by guesswork, founded upon the
vaguest rumor, that I came to believe
you had been taken to Gredskov.”
Darrell’s voice was not free from a
tremor of emotion as be rejoined:
“How did you know anything of my
fate? The mere fact that you were
sufficiently interested to make a single
inquiry repays me a hundred times for
all 1 have suffered.”
“I bad agents in Stavropol," said Ve-ra,
coloring, “upon other matters. Hav-ing
heard that you had traveled in that
direction with Ivan Getchikoff. my
agents thought you worth an inquiry.
They learned that you had been ar-rested
upon your arrival, but neither
they, working secretly, uor the Ameri-can
consul, protesting openly, could
gain any knowledge of what had hap-pened
to you afterward. It was given
out that you had been immediately re-leased
and had left the city. Your bag-gage
was obtained by the consul, who
received also a packet forwarded to
you in his care from Paris, by Mr. Gor-don
doubtless. These things were in
the consul’s hands three weeks ngo.”
“Three weeks ago!” cried Darrell,
rising slowly. “Have you had word so
late?”
Vera’s cheeks were burning.
“Wo have still our agents In Stavro-pol,”
she said, "and occasional commu-nication
is possible. They have thought
it worth while to report to me in re-gard
to your affairs.”
“Then nothing else In the world mat-ters
in the leant,” he said. “I do not
magnify your interest In me, but”—
She checked him with a look that
was both intense and smiling.
“You couldn’t,” said she almost in a
whisper, and at that he laid his hand
upon hers, which was palm upward on
n pile of military reports.
“Vera”— he began, but suddenly
there was a clash of guns and sabers
in the hall.
The princess rapped upon the table
with the scabbard of her sword, a
much bejeweled weapon that had lain
across a chair beside her. At the sum-mons
an orderly appeared with the
rigid haste of a toy monkey on a
stick. Vera pointed to the door com-municating
with the hall, and pres-
; A-Jt;
1&-.
“Let the messenger be chosbn at once!”
ently the orderly announced two offi-cers,
who were admitted.
They’ came with reports that concern-ed
the practical details of war, and
Darrell heard them with a divided at-tention,
working meanwhile upon his
maps. One of them spoke mostly of
cannon, and Vera’s questions showed
a surprising comprehension of the sub-ject.
Singularly enough, Vera when
speaking of ordnance ceased to seem
a play soldier. What she had to say
about the capacity of certain light bat-teries
whose disposition seemed to be
a subject of some question struck Dar-rell
as apt and accurate beyond criti-cism.
Darrell had followed the char-iot

white, black and yellow, in the whirl

“1’our excellency,” he said when the
officers had withdrawn, and then, “I
beg your pardon; I am uncertain what

He knows that this paper aims to ad-vertise

when he’saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did
not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had suf-fered
with the most terrible pains in her
back and could get no relief. He says:
“After using the Pain Balm for a few
days my wife said to me, ‘I feel as
though born anew,' and before using
the entire contents of the bottle the un-bearable
pains had entirely vanished
and she conld again take up her house-hold
duties." He is very thankful and
hopes that all suffering likewise will hear
of her wonderful recovery. This vain
able liniment is for sale by C. L. Kuhn.
My little son had an attack of whoop
