(£ljc pleasant Jfmtiriml VOL. 30. MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1902. NO. 47. THE TIGERS WENT DOWN IN DEFEAT Before the Sturdy Bradenville Foot Ball Lads AT GREENSBURG WEDNESDAY IN A GAME THAT WAS RUNNING OVER WITH EXCITEMENT. The Stripe Wearers From Mount Pleas-ant Didn't Strike Their Gait Until the Second Half and Then it was Too Late. They Were but one Measly Point Be-hind but That was Enough to Lose Local Sports LotB of the Long Green as well as the County Championship. The local Tiger and the Bradenville foot hall teams met at Greensbnrg Wednesday afternoon last to decide the county amateur championship that was won by the latter by one measly point, enough, however, to win the honor and as good as a thousand so far as losing a lot of wealth for the Mount Pleasant sports was concerned. There was a big crowd present and the contest through out was exciting, although impartial judges hold that the Tigers should have won had they played their game in the first half. The Bradenville lads worked the hall over into Tiger territory early in the first half and kept it there, finally secur ing a touchdown by straight tactics Goal was kicked and the half ended in a score of 6-0 in their favor. Gemas, the TigerB’ fullback, had to retire in the second half on account of injuries, but the loss did not seem to worry the Mount Pleasant players as they settled down to steady work and turned the tables on their opponents whom they clearly outplayed at every point, going through the center and aronnd the ends for a well earned touch-down. Everybody expected the score to be tied,, but Hood missed a hard goal and only five points were made. Only eight minutes remained and the time was too Bhort for the Tigers to make a second score, although they were headed that way when the referee’s whistle ended the game. The lineup was: BRADENVILLE. TIGERS. Squibb I o .Rosemyer Rough It Kellar O'Neal 1 g .Orafiler A. Nowe c Witt J.

GUARDSMAN BOYCOTTED By His Fellow Union Brewery Employes at Umontown. The workers in the breweries of Un iontown who compose the local brewers’ union have decided that their members who belong to the National Guard shall either quit the guard or quit the union. The first one to feel the effect of this policy is George W. Brown, a member of Company C, who went with the Tenth regiment to serve the state at Shamokin. Brown, since his return from soldier-ing, has lost his job at the brewery, through the power of the union, because he is a member of the National Guard, and has been notified that when he getB his discharge from the guard he may get back his job. Capt. Beeson has re-fused to give him a discharge, and. therefore, he has appealed to Gov. Stone for it, claiming his bread and butter de-pend on his reinstatement. Foul Play Suspected. The body of Martin O’Connell, of Irwin, was found early Monday morn-ing at Stewart station by some men who were on their way to work. There are many bruises about the head, and some think that he met with foul play and was then thrown or fell in front of a train. His body was badly mangled. Others are of the opinion that he met death by being struck by the train. O’Connell was 32 years of age and was employed on the Weshinghouse foundry plant being erected at Trafford City. Morewood Children Poisoned. . two-year-old son of Marks Rad-rtoski, a Morewood coke worker, 3 Tuesday from the effect of a dose larisgreen got from a package the ents had used to put in whitewash, other of the children ate of the son, but recovered, having secured overdose. DECIDEDLY NEW KINK TAKEN ON SATURDAY LAST IN THE JACOB BYERS SUITS. His Nephew, William R. Byers, Petitions the Allegheny County Court to Admit Him as a Defendant, Claiming His Uncle Gave Him the Missing Bonds and Cash. RICH STORIES FROM THE GRAND JURY ROOM. Thieves are Active. Tuesday night last Rev. Cormany, who lives with his son in-law, Rev. Dr. Keister, in the U. B. parsonage on West Walnut street, was robbed of his watch and some change taken from his clothes, the thief having gained an entrance through a window. Thieves attempted to break into P. S. Wolfersberger’s Col-lege avenue residence the same night, but were scared off before they could accomplish their purpose. The larder at Mrs. Sadie Ramsay's West Walnut street home was cleaned out by thieves the same night. People’s Popular Course. The Bostonian Ladies Quartet, the second attraction of the Popular Enter-tainment Course, is one of the finest or-ganizations of lady vocalists in this country. Each member has been select-ed with greatest care knd because of special qualities fitting her for her part. I take great pleasure in presenting this splendid company to a Mount Pleas-ant audience. They will appear Tues-day evening, November 25. Reserved seats are now on sale at Overholts. W. H. TUSSING. A decidedly new kink has been given the suits which Jacob Byers brought several months ago in the Allegheny county courts to restrain his grand-nephew and former attorney, W. S. Byers, Esq., of Greensbnrg, and the Pittsburg Title and Trust Company from opening one of that company ssafe deposit boxes in which he claims are at least his missing $175,000 Mount Pleas-ant Coke Company bonds if not also some $-10,000 in cash or its equivalent in securities. The turn was taken by the old gentleman’s nephew and neighbor near Tarr, William R. Byers, who on Saturday last petitioned the court to admit him as a defendant. Attorneys Schoyer and Hunter on that day presented a petition in common pleas conrt No. 2, where the case is in litigation, asking that Willian R. Byers be allowed to intervene and answer as a party defendant. It is claimed that neither of the litigants owns the cash and bonds in dispute. William R. Byers says he is a nephew of Jacob Byers and avers that there has always been a great affection existing between him and his uncle apd that sometime ago his uncle made him a present of the stocks, bonds and cash now claimed by the nncle. The court granted a rule upon the plaintiff to show cause why the prayer of William R. Byers should not be granted. Byers attaches what will be his answer to the prayer of Jacob ByerR if the court makes the order to inter-vene. The gist of the answer is, as al-ready stated, that neither the uncle nor attorney owns the securities claimed. It is also averred that Rev. C. R. Fer-ner, who claims to be acting for Jacob Byers, is a stranger, not bound by any relationship and that he has some ulter-ior motive in bringing the present suit. Stories that have leaked out regard-ing the late Grand Jury in this county and its failure to find a true bill charg-ing Lawyer Byers with larceny show pretty conclusively that a majority of that body had been set up against “Uncle Jake.” Under ordinary circum-stances the aged prosecutor's evidence alone would have been sufficient for the finding of a true bill, but it availed nothing, neither did that of his nephew and would-be peacemaker, Michael Fritchman, of Harrison City, whose ev-idence was something like this: Some time after the suits had been brought this witness said he thought the matter should he settled and. with that object in view, sought William R. By-ers who took kindly to the idea and ex- ! pressed the belief that if “Uncle Jakey” put up $50,000 he could get the “stuff” back all right. The man of peace then sought his old uncle, laid the proposi-tion before him and went on home, Mr. Byers promising to think the matter over. Not long after this his uncle did send for him and Mr. Fritchman started to keep the engagement, but he never got there. He stopped again with William R. Byers whose price for returning “Uncle Jake” his lost “stuff” had Michael said, gone np to $80,000. Even I at that figure, however, “Bill" said he 1 would have to first consult Attorney Byers. This he did by going at once to j Greensburg, the lawyer returning with him. W. R. then said $80,000 would do all right, but Mike went straight op home, not having the nerve to submit the revised proposition to his uncle. In concluding his evidence before the Grand Jury Mr. Fritchman said that on the last day referred to he overheard Attorney Byersexclaim: “I never knew until today that the missing bonds and cash were not Uncle Jake's property!” On the jury was an Irishman who ! took little or no stock in the evidence offered by the prosecution, the only side j heard. While the body was deliber-ating before taking the vote that ignored the bill, he surprised his fellow jurors by exclaiming: “I’ll just bate ye that preacher chap (Rev. Ferner) has them I missing bonds !” THREE NEW GRAINS That Have Been Raised This Season by O. K. Fox. C. K. Fox, the well known yonng East Huntingdon township farmer, has been experimenting with three new grains, speltz, sunflower and sorguin hay, and is well pleased not only with the size of the crops but with their worth as stock foods. The speltz, or the Bible corn of Egypt, waH sown in the spring and resembles wheat in its growth, while its head is like that of barley. It is as productive as oats and is well adapted to spring grass seeding. The hail damaged this year s crop and there was a waste cut-ting it with a binder, but Mr. Fox still got 28 bushels from an acre of unfertil-ized com stock ground. The sunflower was raised in two and one-half rows along the corn-field and yielded ten bushels. It makes a good chicken and bird feed and is used by stockmen extensively like linseed oil. It is easily harvested. Of sugar cane or sorgum hay Mr. Fox had four two-horse loads off about two-thirds of an acre, but probably left one-fourth on the ground owing to the high cut of the binder. It is said to be next to clover as a stock food, horses and cat-tle eating it greedily. DIVINE SERVICES. Austrian Miner Murdered. John Suckli, a young Austrian miner at Jamison’s No. 1 coal works, near Greensburg, died at the Greensburg hospital Wednesday from knife wounds said to have been inflicted by a fellow countryman whom Suckli shot in a quarrel several weeks ago.

Reed, of Blairs-ville Intersection, was convicted of ille gal liquor selling, although she claimed that she was only prescribing for her husband's patients. Mary Jones, the proprietress of a Mon-essen hotel, was convicted of selling liquor to minors, but the jury recom-mended her to the extreme mercy of the court as the offense was committed by her barkeepers in defiance of her orders. The trial of E. E. Miller, of Jeannette, charged with having murdered his wife, was taken up Tuesday. The shooting occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad tracks, near Burrell station, on the night of September 26th last, about 9:30 o'clock. The victim was in company with Henry Sindorf who testified that he had caught up with and then passed her before he heard the sound of two shots. The victim was shot in the thigh and the wound was not at first consid-ered dangerous. Before she died she made an affidavit that the tragedy was the result of an accident. The case is still on trial. AID SOCIETY ELECTION. Lutheran Ladies Choose Officers for En-suing Year.

A VISIT EROIM GERMAN ROYALTY Paid the Frick Company’s Standard Mines. WAS PRINCE HANS HEINRICH WHO IS AN EXTENSIVE COKE MAKER IN THE STATE OF PLESS. He is Inspecting American Industries for Emperor William and wae Anxious to see the Model Plant of This Region. The New Keystone Company Leases New Coal Fields and Begins Operations at Seward. Other Interesting Notes From Mine and Yard. Hans Heinrich, Prince of Pless, a German state, who is touring the prin-cipal business interests of this country as the representative of the German Emperor, was bronght up to the Frick campany's Standard mines Friday af-ternoon last by President Loree, of the B, & O. railroad, in his private car in company with General Superintendent Kennedy. The local superintendent, James S. Mack, had no time to “pnrty’' and, indeed, didn't know he was enter-taining royalty until after he had taken the pnrty through the new shaft and over the yards and the visitors were about to leave. The prince manufact-ures coke at home by the by-produot system and kept “Jim" busy answering questions. The Keystone Coal and Coke Com-pany, of Greensburg, has optioned con-siderable coal land in Salem, Bell and Loyalhanna townships, this county, at $125 an acre. The purchase of the piers of the abandoned railroad bridge at Saltsbnrg is said to mean a new struc-ture there for the outlet of this field to the West Penn division of the Pennsyl-vania railroad. The compeny ha3 just begun the shipment of coal from its new mine at Seward where it is said the intention is to build 50 coke ovens. James H. Gallagher, Register of Wills elect, is taking 5-months’ options on coal lands about TreeB Mills, Salem , • township, at $100 an acre. He is said to represent New York capitalists. /It is rumored that the Pennsylvania jteil-road people will extend their Turtle Creek Valley branch from Export to this field next summer. John A. Mnrphy and George Hosaek, Pittsburg legal partners, who some time ago chartered the Pennsylvania, Monon-gahela & Southern Railroad Company, are preparing to build a line connecting the Pennsylvania and Wabash systems, running from tbe ^mouth of Whitely creek to West Brownsville, a distance of 22 miles. It is said 100,000 acres of coal in Greene and Washington coun-ties will thus be developed. Corrigan, McKennie & Co., furnace-men, who have mills at Cleveland. O., Charlotte, N. Y., and Scottdale. have bought 4,000 acres of coal land in Black-lick and Burrell townsnips, Indiana county, and will, it is said, develop the tract with a 400-oven coke plant. In order to keep pace with the won-derful production of soft coal in this end of the state, Chief Inspector of Mines Roderick has determined to make three new districts. One will include southern Fayette county and part of the Monongahela valley, another Pitts-burg and vicinity and the third will be made from districts along the Pennsyl-vania railroad east of Johnstown. John Scarver sued the Rainey Coke Company for $48.08 wages before Jus-tice McWilliams, but the matter was settled by the defendant company pay-ing $45.08. The plaintiff had forgotten to allow for a $3 order giyen him. Pittsburg and Youngstown, O., capi-talists, among whom are Julian Ken-neny and Charles J. Morse, have organ-ized the Orient Coal & Coke Company with a view to developing 2,000 acres of Fayette county coal on Dunlaps Creek by the erection of 500 coke ovens. The Baltimore & Pittsburg Coal Com-pany struck a steady flow of gas at the depth of 130 feet while sinking a shaft on the Gardner farm in North Hunting-don township. OLD DAYS IN DIXIE. A Former Slave Holder’s Daughter Lecture Here. Miss Belle Kearney, of Mississippi, former slave holder's talented danght will lecture here in the very near futi on “Old Days in Dixie," and it wot be well to watch for the date. T “Daily Herald," of Anderson, Indiai in speaking of her, says: “Miss Belle Kearney gave a very teresting address here last night. Thi was a large audience and every c present was well pleased with the si ject. Miss Kearney is a forceful spet er, and handled her subject with n skill.” TIIB MOUNT PL.EAKANT JOURNAL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1902. PRICE CUTS LITTLE EIGURE WHEN COKE CAN BE HAD. Tlmt small furnace people are hard pressed for coke from this region and are willing to pay almost any price for the fuel is evidenced by the following well authenticated story told on an independent operator: He was on his way home from a short vacation when he fell in with an iron manufacturer who was on the hunt of coke. The result was an agreement con-ditional upon the coke man’s ability to supply 500 tons at once The latter's con tracts expired the day he reached home and he at once shipped his new business friend the amount required, attaching a draft for $5,000 to the bill of lading, the price agreed upon having been $10 a ton f. o. b. Not only was the draft promptly honored, but a second order was returned for 300 tons additional at $11 a ton. The coke producer cleared some $7,000 on the two shipments. A Massachusetts manufacturing firm took a unique but expensive plan to get coke last week. Four empty box cars, locked and maiked lumber, were sent through direct to the Frick company's Standard mines with the freight prepaid. They were at once loaded with coke and started back. MHthout the bill for the fuel, it is estimated the freight charges alone would cost the firm $800. I HOME STUDY COURSE 1 A «t * •*.'.*.* Self Education Through the Medium of Specially Prepared Articles by Prominent Instructors Little Creatures About Our Homes * By LE ROY WELD X.—Honey Makers and Their T Kindred. HE order hymenoptern, or mem-brane winged Insects, includes the most Intelligent of all the class insecta. Although there are more than 20,000 species included in this order, we shall speak of but very few of the best known. The ant, the most intelligent of all, has been given a separate article. The honeybee is probably the best known and the most useful. Some moderately warm day, about 10 a. in., place a few drops of honey on a clean blue dish, as bees are attracted most by that color, and carry it near the hive. Some bee will flml your honey in a short time and fill her crop. She will then fly away to the i hive, but will return for more honey j as soon as she has deposited her first ■upply in the comb. She will make a trip every fifteen or twenty minutes, and you will have plenty of time to study her and other bees which may find the honey through her assistance. There is little danger of being stung. Bees seldom sting those who feed them. | They soon lenrn to know you, and 1 when they find that you intend no ' harm you are safe from their stings. The worker, or undeveloped female, the only bee which leaves the hive in search of food and other necessaries, has four transparent wings, with no wing covers, ns in beetles. The front pair of wings is the larger, and all of them move with great rapidity in flight —190 times a second. The eyes arc large and compound, being composed of a great number of simple eyes, but these composite eyes seem to be fitted for long vision only. When laden with material for the hive, they fly with great rapidity in a straight line toward home; hence the saying “straight as a bee line.” At the hive, however, they are obliged to feel their way In. Two jointed anten-nae, or feelers, project from the head. These seem to guide them about the hive, and some writers claim that they communicate witli each other by means of these appendages. The body is made up of three distinct parts, head, thorax and abdomen. Two pairs of wings and three pairs of legs are attached to the thorax, while Types of Bees.—1, Queen Bee, Mother of the Hive; 2, Worker or Undevel-oped Female; 3, Male Bee or Drone. the abdomen has no appendages. In the middle portion of the hind legs is a nearly triangular cavity, .surrounded by thickly set stiff hairs, forming a Bort of basket, in which hive mate-rial is carried. The ends of the feet are supplied with little hooks. The other four feet are furnished with little hnlr-brushes used in collecting pollen, etc., and the end of the ab-domen is armed with a sting. The males have no sting. The mouth has a touguelike proboscis for lapping up the nectar of flowers. The bee has two stomachs, the first being a sort of crop in which the honey undergoes a chemical change not well under-stood. Digestion takes place in tne second stomach. In a swarm there are three classes of bees—males, females and workers. The workers were formerly known as neuters, hut they are now known to be undeveloped females. There Is but one perfect female In a swarm, and she Is called tlie queen. The number of workers vnries from a few hun-dreds to 40,000. Tne number of mules Is usually one to about thirty work-ers during the fore part of the sum-mer. Later every male is either driven out of the hive or killed. The queen lays all of the eggs and is frequently the mother of nearly all lot the swarm. She Is much larger than the workers and somewhat longer than the males or drones. The drones do no work, but are eared for by the workers. They have no use but to perpetuate the species. The workers clean out the hive, collect the food and other material, feed and nurse the young, bulb! the coinb, stock the hive witli honey, ventilate the hive, guard against intruders, fight all the bat-tles and do everything that is done about their well ordered borne. Upon entering a new hive the bees carefully examine its interior, and if any cracks are found they secure ma-terial for cementing them so that cold winds and marauding insects may be kept out. The workers go to tlie sticky buds of the poplar and various plants, gather the gum and fill every chink. If you put In a glass window, they will cover that, too, with this same wax} substance, called propolis, for they do not like the light. During the first twenty-four hours ill this new home the bees that had a plentiful supply of honey in their crops are busy making wax of which to form tlie comb. The wax is formed within the body of the bees. Then a number of them suspend themselves from tlie top of the hive, hanging by the liookB on tlielr bind feet. Others attach themselves to these and hang In the same way, and so oil until a cluster of bees Is formed some-times weighing three or four pounds. Here they remain for about twenty-four hours, when the wax begins to ooze out from under the scales be-tween the segments of the abdomen One bee detaches herself from the cluster, climbs to the top of the hive, turns herself around several times to crowd the bees out of the way and be-gins to pick tlie wax off her abdomen and form it into a little lump. An-other bee soon takes her place, then another and another until a large, thin plate of wax hangs where the bees were. Cells for brood and honey are next begun on both sides of this plate. A few bees are detailed to feed and care for the queen. A few more ven-tilate the hive by fixing themselves with their heads toward and near the entrance and moving their wings ns In flight. In this manner they create a current of pure air throughout the hive. Still another detachment is en-gaged in guarding the entrance against marauders. When the bees have finished a large brood comb, the queen begins to lay eggs at the rate of about 200 a day, placing one egg In each cell. All these eggs will produce workers. After con-tinuing this process for about a month or six weeks she begins to lay male eggs in the larger cells, stopping once in two or three days to place a female egg In one of the royal cells. If from any cuuse the queen should be re-moved from the hive \yhen there are no eggs or larval in the royal cells, the bees at once enlarge a worker cell and feed the larva on royal jelly instead of the pollen, etc., given to the worker larvai. The larva develops Into a queen, and the life of the colony Is again in-sured. Should there be no worker eggs or very young larvae in tbe comb the bees become distracted, quit work, wander about aimlessly and soon die or are destroyed by their enemies. If things move on normally, the first egg placed in a royal cell is hatched, passes through the larval and pupal stages and becomes fully developed and ready for liberation in sixteen days. The old queen then becomes restless and wan-ders about In search of the young prin-cess. The bees stand guard over her and close up the cell so that she can-not escape. They keep the old queen away from the royal cells or her sting would soon put an end to all life there. un tne first nne day the old queen, with a large number of the bees, leaves the hive and seeks a new home. The young queen is now allowed to come forth from her cell, and if the swarm Is too weak to semi off another swarm she Is allowed to kill the remaining princesses In their cells. After a few days she leaves the hive and, with the drones, takes a flight in the nir, return-ing in about half ail hour to repeat the life of her mother. The common bumblebee is also social In its habits, but the number In a sin-gle colony Is very small, usually from ten to thirty. Their mission seems to be to carry pollen from male to female flowers like their more aristocratic cousins, tlie honeybees. Their nests are built In the ground, and all drones and workers die in the fall, only the queen hibernating or living over to the following season. There may be more than one queen In a colony. There are several species of solitary bees. These bees are of but two classes, males and females, tlie latter doing all the work. The female con-structs from one to a dozen cells, ac-cording to the species, in earth, clay or wood, and deposits in each an egg and n supply of pollen nnd sometimes a Utile honey for food for the grub. There are two groups of wasps, the solitary and the social. Of the so-cial group the common hornet Is a good example. The social wasps live In colonies of from 100 to 500 mem-bers and consist of males, females nnd workers, as do the bees. The fe-males and workers all have powerful slings, which they use on the least provocation. All, except a few young queers, die on the approach of winter. Each of these queens constructs a few cells in the spring and lays an egg in each. These soon hatch, nnd the mother supplies them with food. They are all workers, nnd when mature re-lieve tlie queen mother of further labor. Additional broods increase tlie number rapidly. The males and per-fect females are not hatched until late ill tlie season. Koine species build their nests in the ground, others ou tlie branches of trees or the timbers of buildings. The nests of the tree wasps are very ingeniously built of pulp made from wood resembling paper. (Copyright, 1902, by Lewis D.

For the fourth time in na many years the coining plant of the Cambria pow der works at Nineveh blew np Monday morning, cansing a loss of $1,000 and the death of two employes, named Jose Franz, of Derry, aged 30, and William Norris, of Bolivar, aged 21. Both men were single. The former was torn al-most to pieces, portions of his body be-ing fonnd several hundred yards from the scene of the accident. Norris’s burned and mutilated body was found in the ruins. It is not known what caused the ex-plosion, as no persons were permitted in the building except those actively em-ployed about the place. The building was completely ruined. GOLDEN GATE TOURS. As Judged From the Past Week's Trade Reports WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS OF THE JOURNAL Railway StockB are Lower Than Since Last Spring:, but This Does not Indi-cate Loss of Traffic; on the Contrary, There are Numerous Evidences That Manufacturing and Transporting In-terests Cannot Meet the Demands. Lower prices for railway stocks than at any time since last March do not nec-essarily indicate loss of traffic nor a set-back in business. On the contrary, co-incident with the collapse of the stock market there were numerous evidences that manufacturing and transporting in terests have not sufficient facilities to meet demands, although plants and equipment are now of greater efficiency than at any previous time. Distribution of merchandise is fully maintained, preparations being made for a heavy holiday trade, and frequent complaints of tardy deliveries testify to the heavy consumption. Prospects for continued activity are bright, because of unprecedented harvests, prosperity in the agricultural districts assuring a good demand for other products. Threatened labor controversies have been averted, in some cases wages being advanced while a number of increases were vol-untarily given. Railway earnings continue to ad-vance, the first week of November show-ing a raise of 4.8 per cent over 1901, and 15.2 per cent over 1900. High tempera-ture retards retail trade in seasonable goods. Aside from the expected decline in prices of pipes and tubes there has been no evidence of weakness in iron and steel, and all the recent concessions were caused by competition of new plants rather than diminished business. Many purchasers are delaying orders, how-ever, in the hope that the market will go lower in other departments, but there is abnormal support in the light movement of coke. Rail mills are fully j booked up until next September, and a Canadian road placed a large order in : Germany, while structural shapes are : in great request, especially for bridges. . Eastern manufacturers of foot wear ' are offering no inducements to buyers, and, while no actual advances in prices ! have occurred, the market is decidedly \ strong. Western shops are also busy. Sole leather is active and firm, both do-mestic and export sales being large. Some western tanners advanced prices which checked business. Limited sup plies in first hands and with jobbers have sustained cotton goods, despite the sharp decline in the raw material. Clothing manufacturers report encour-aging results in their first test of the market on spring garments. Failures for the week numbered 241 in the United States, against 215 last year, and 24 in Canada, compared with 27 a year ago. GRAIN. FliOUR AND FEED—WHOLESALE.

California and the Pacific Coast re-sorts have become so popular in recent years with the better class of winter rest and pleasure seekers that the Penn sylvania Railroad Company has decided to ran two Golden Gate tours this win-ter, one to include the famous Mardi Gras spectacle at New Orleans. On the going trip both tours will travel by the Golden Gate Special, one of the finest trains that crosses the continent. One tour will return by this train, while passengers by the other and later tour will use regular trains returning. In California, passengers will be entirely at their own pleasure in the matter of itinerary. Should a sufficiently large number of passengers desire to join in taking an itinerary suggested by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the services of a Tourist Agent and Chap-eron will be at their disposal. The first tour will leave New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and other points on Thnrsday, January 29, and will travel via Chicago, Kansas City and El Paso to Los Angeles and San Diego, arriving at the latter point February 2. An entire month may be de-voted to visiting California resorts, the Golden Gate Special leaving San Fran-cisco on the return trip Tuesday, March 3, and returning via Salt Lake City, Glenwood Springs, Colorado Springs, and Denver. The rate for this tour will le $300, covering all expenses of railroad transportation, including side trips in California, as well as berth and meals on the Golden Gate Special going and returning. No hotel expenses in California are Included, Tickets are good for return trip for nine months, excepting that passengers who do not return on the Special must provide their own Pullman accommodations and meals east bound. Tour No. 2 will leave Thnrsday, Feb ruary 19, by the Golden Gate Special Cincinnati, Montgomery and Mobile will be visited en route to New Orleans, where the party will stay during the Mardi Gras festivities. The train will be sidetracked for occupancy during the three days spent in New Orleans. Stops will also be made at Beaumont, Texas, Houston, Texas, San Antonio and El Paso. The train will arrive at San Diego, February 28. So far as special train arrangements are concern-ed, this tour will be completed at San Diego. Passengers may dispose of their time in California as they see fit. Should a sufficient number desire to take a sug-gested trip through California, the ser-vices of a Tourist Agent and Chaperon will be placed at their disposal. The rate for this tonr will be $275, covering all railroad transportation for the entire trip, including side trips in California, seat at the Mardi Gras Fes tival, and Pullman berth and all meals on the Golden Gate special from New York until arrival at San Diego. Private compartments, i. e., drawing rooms or state rooms, may be obtained by the payment of additional charges on both tours. A detailed itinerary is in course of preparation, giving all in-formation concerning these tours. Ap-plication should be made to George W.

After the Grand Jury had ignored one of the larceny chargee brought by old Jacob Byers against his grandnephew and former attorney, W. S. Byers, Esq , of Greensbttrg, Judge Doty permitted the prosecution to withdraw the other tyro bills, as noted last week in the news columns of this paper. But, it remained for James S. Moorhead, Esq., one of the attorneys for the prosecution, to add a sensational feature in his argument be-fore the court. Mr. Moorhead openly charged that his client could not get full justice at the handB of the Grand Jury. He declared that Jury Commissioner John C. Stough was the constant companion of the de-fendant. He claimed that Stough had been seen openly consorting with the defendant and that as late as last open-ing he was known to have consulted with him in his offices. The stories that have since come from the Grand Jury room only corroborate what Mr. Moorhead said, and it is a great pity that there seems to be no means of punishing those who thus tampered with justice. FREIGHT CONGESTION. The present freight congestion is the worst in the history of the Pittsburg district which mav be said to include the entire coke region and the coal dis tiicts of this end of the state, and the trouble is there is no relief in sight. The yards and sidetracks of nearly all the railroads are filled to overflowing with all classes of freight and the motive power to break the blockade is lacking. The condition in the coke region can be best understood when it is stated that there is danger of the big Carnegie steel mills at Homestead and Duquesne being compelled to shut down, at least in part, through scarcity of fuel. The Carnegie interests, which get coke when there is any moving at all, have been cut out recently and their stocks of coke and pig iron, piled at the points of operations, have been nearly depleted. President Cassatt, of the Pennsylva-nia Railroad Company, was in Pittsburg this week consulting with the local of ficials in regard to the freight situation. Plans were formulated looking to in-creased facilities. While this will mean much in time, it would be vain to ex-pect early relief only through a general suspension of producing industries, which may yet have to be resorted to. of 25 cents, the second time by a fine of 50 cents, the third time by expulsion. These Sixteenth boys are doubtless nice fellows and all that, but that blood-less Porto Rican expedition during the Spanish-American war doesn’t entitle them to be classed with the "Fighting Tenth” that covered itself with glory in those far off isles of the sea. The Mt. Carmel lads have little cause to feel ag grieved and should be ashamed of them-selves for thus showing pique. How-ever, if their poor, abused brothers at Shamokin had risen up in arms we wouldn’t be one bit surprised; for, they do say that the onslaught on feminine hearts there by Calonel Barnett’s Phil-ippine heroes was something fierce. THERE can be too much of a good fMng. See what prosperity has done to the railroads. THE independent coke operator in this region is the fellow who is making easy money these days. YANKEES SLOW TO LEARN. After giving prohibition a trial for 50 years, Vermont is on the eve of a Legis lative struggle which may place a high license local option law on the statute books. The Republicans, at their convention in June, made a party pledge that at this session of the Legislature they would enact a high license local option bill, with a referendum, the law to be-come operative after the people had sanctioned it by a vote at a special .■election. The Yankee has always been credited -with having an unusually long head, but it seems the Vermont variety has been slow to learn that prohibition does mot prohibit. OF course, Prince Hans Heinrich wanted to see the best there is in the coke region. That’s why he visited Mount Pleasant. WHEN one considers what clever money-makers they are, it’s no wonder the local robber picks out United Breth-ren people for his victims. BHADENVILLE didn’t beat ns so badly at foot ball, but that one point was very expensive to local sports who backed the Tigers with the coin of the realm. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT failed to bring down a bear in the Mississippi canebrake, but he had a week's rest from politicians and office seekers and that should do him more real good. No one feels better than THE JOUR-NAL that it hassucceeded at last in hav-ing the mills supply its regular grade of paper. The order is a standing one and yet it had to wait two months. LACK of attention is once more mak ing the town clock a nuisance instead of a public convenience. THE JOURNAL would like to see the United Brethren people turn the time piece over to Council.

By this time the members of the strike commission know that working in a coal mine is not as nice and clean a job as being a judge or something of that sort. Lots of Wild Ducks. Wild ducks were plentiful in this sec-tion Wednesday morning last. A num-ber were bagged on Rumbaugh’s pond, near Spring Garden; while scores were shot on the Bridgeport dams where the slaughter would have been greater had not the gunners’ supply of ammunition played out. John NOBS, of this place, beaded the list with seventeen. tFASClNATING BRASS BUTTONS. The boys at Mt. Carmel, Pa., have just organized an Anti-Girl Club. The constitution and by-laws adopted forbid a member from showing the lr»st atten-tion to any girl of that town who asso-ciated with or even smiled upon Six-teenth regiment, N. G. P., men while that command was on duty there during the late anthracite coal strike trouble. The pledge signed by the jealous mem-bers is this: “We, the undersigned, do hereby pledge ourselves not to associate with sany girl that has associated with soldiers during their encampment in this vicin sty. We pledge ourselves to withstand uuanfally their charms and coquetries, and on no account will we escort them to dances or entertainments, or call on them. We agree to abstain altogether from the company of ladies rather than mingle with those who allowed them-selves tc be escorted about by the guardsmen. Any violation of this pledge will be punished; the first time by a fine Fatal Pennsylvania Wreck. A west-bound Pennsylvania freight train and an empty engine collided fct Bolivar Sunday night, killing H. S. Moore, an Altoona engineer, and Brake-man L. V. Dierner, of the same place. A fireman named W. D. Mack was badly injured. Clever U. B. Ladies. The ladies of the United Brethren church cleared $144 at the chicken and waffle supper given last Thursday even-ing at the College avenue home of Mrs. P. S. Wolfersberger. The ladies gave Mr. H. Goldstone a hearty vote of thanks for his generous and much ap preciated check. In their efforts to beau tify the church the ladies are beginning to find how many good, substantial friends they have.

The troopers wore divided Into three detachments and placed under the leadership of Genera! Wade Hampton, Colonel W. H. F. Lee and Colonel \V. E. Jones. Then Stuart spoke to the command ns follows: “Soldiers, you are about to engage in an euterpiise which to insure success demands at your hands coolness, decision and brav-ery, Implicit obedience to orders with-out question or cavil and the strictest order and sobriety ou the march and in bivouac. The destination, and extent of this expedition had better be kept to myself than known to you. Suffice it to say that with the hearty co-opera-tion of officers and men I have not a doubt of its success, a success which will reflect credit of the highest degree upon your arms.” At the close of the speech the men retired to their blankets to catch a few hours’ rest, and the jolly snbreur, with his boon companions, passed the even-ing at The Bower, a typical planter’s mansion, where Stuart made his head-quarters. With fiddle, banjo and bones the gay cavnllers serenaded their friends, then went to their tents on the lawn. Before daylight every officer and man was in the saddle, galloping toward the Potomac, where an ad-vance party led by Colonel M. C. But-ler, the present senator from South Carolina, had preceded the cavalcade to look out for the freedom of the ford-ing place. Butler had sent a handful of men over the ford to capture a Federal picket station on the Maryland side, but the Yankees were too quick for the Johnnies and got away. Butler then dashed into the stream nt the head of the vanguard and deployed a line of troopers around the ford. Stu-art's whole command crossed without alarm and struck out along the nation-al pike running from Hancock to Ha-gerstown. When Butler’s vanguard struck the pike, he captured ten strag-glers from General Cox's Federal di-vision, which had just pnssed that point on the way to Hancock. Cox’s division belonged to the Army of the Potomac, which was at that time en-camped in Maryland in the vicinity of Hagerstown. , Fortunately for Stuart, there was a heavy fog in the valley that morning, or hiB stealthy movements would have been seen from the signal station on I'Yiirview heights, near Hancock. But .iigs have the gift of vanishing in a twinkling, and to make sure the argus eyes on the height should not reveal his secrets to the army close at hand Stuart sent twenty picked men to cap-ture the signal party. Crawling up the RAIDING THE FEDERAL SIGNAL STATION. steep under cover of the fog, the gray troopers dropped down upon the sta-llon like visitors from the skies. Two Federal officers in the station made a rush for life and escaped, but the pri-vate soldiers were captured and all the flags and equipments. Thus the last danger was suppressed, for, barring signals, Stuart’s troopers' could travel as fast as anything In the Army of the Potomac. All Stuart asked was a clear road to get beyond the camps of that widely scattered army. In fact, he was prepared to fight for the road against any common foe and carried with the cavalcade four guns of the horse bat-tery commanded by Major John Pel-ham, the noted boy artillerist. In spite of the cleverness of Stuart In passing the ford the Federal troops nearest the river heard of the expedi-tion and sent word of it to headquar-ters. Meanwhile the raiders galloped on to Mercersburg, across the line in Pennsylvania. Even the strange garb of the Confederates didn’t open the eyes of the people along the route, for It was Impossible to believe that 000 southern horsemen would cross the horde t in the face of 100,000 soldiers encamped along the river. The chief business of the raiders was seizing horses. Scattering over a wide stretch of country the troopers gathered in everything in the way of blooded ani-mals. only sparing those in use by women. The hungry cavalrymen were in.t allowed to take provisions from the natives except where volunteered. In the midst of a drizzling rain But-ler planted two camion on a knoll over-looking Chunibersburg, about 8 o’clock tlie night of the loth, and sent forward a summons to surrender under penalty of bombardment. There was no re-sistance and Stuart’s troopers mus-tered In the public square, with their newly acquired horses, lending their own tired steeds. On orders front Stuart, Butler demanded the funds in the bank of the town, but tlie cashier could only show empty vaults, the funds having been sent north that morning owing to nows of the raid heralded by telegraph. The bank cashier was courteous enough to trent Butler’s party to the best lie had In his house and other residents of the town dhl the same for the rest of the raid-ers. A committee of citizens made terms with the raiders, and In the best of good feeling Yankees and Johnnies passed the night, the southerners be-ing freely supplied with food and cof-fee. Colonel A. K. McClure, a promi-nent citizen of the town and also an officer in the Federal army at home on leave, regaled nearly a hundred of Stu-art's officers and soldiers nt his resi-dence. In the enrly hours of the 11th the tired raiders turned Into their blan-kets, some to sleep the sleep of the happy go lucky trooper and some to ponder how the cavalcade would get out of the net into which it lmd so easily ridden. It was plain that the whole country was in the secret of the raid and the Federal army alert The rain had' Increased to a downpour, and In n few hours the I’otomnc might rise and obliterate the fords. Before leaving Chambersburg Stuart destroyed an ordnance storehouse and railroads and other public property amounting to $250,000. He also took away thirty officials and prominent cit-izens as hostages for civilians of the Confederacy held by the United States. About 1,200 captured horses went with the cavalcade on its ride back to Dixie, which was far more exciting than the trip from the l’otomae to Chambers-burg. Meanwhile the Federal cavalry, such as it was, took the warpath to head off the daring raiders when they should attempt to recross the river. The mouth of the Monocacy river be-low the camps of the army was the point fixed upon by the guesses of the Federal cavalry lenders. To that point one body was directed and would have been there in time to do something but for misleading reports which delayed progress. A force of Infantry was sta-tioned at Frederick, Md., and two bri-gades lay on the cars at Monocacy Junction ready to move at the word, either to Frederick or eastward, wherever Stuart might appear. What are known as the lower fords of the I’btomne were nearest the camps of the Federal army and farthest from Stuart when he set out homeward from Chambersburg. Stuart reasoned that the enemy would not look for him at the lower fords because of the risk he would run in that direction and the fact that in order to reach them from Chambersburg he must ride east to-ward Gettysburg and treble the dis-tance of his march. Stuart turned off the Gettysburg road southward as soon as he had crossed the mountain. At that time there was a body of Feder-als hurrying to Gettysburg from Balti-more to catch the raiders. Reaching Emmitsburg the night of the 11th, the troopers were regaled by the Maryland-ers and at once started for the Poto-mac, forty-five miles distant. Soon after leaving Emmitsburg Stuart passed within four miles of Pleason-ton's cavalry, which had been march-ing and countermarching all day to meet the raiders. At midnight Pleas-outou learned of Stuart’s movement and started in pursuit, but the raiders were four hours ahead of him. From Emmitsburg the southern cav-alcade trotted the long night through and made thirty-three miles by day-light of the 12th. It was twelve miles to the ford, and the troopers had rid-den sixty-five miles within twenty-four hours. All the lower fords were guard-ed by Federals, and Pleasonton was tipidly closing down by another and a i hortcr road than the one used by Stu-art to the only unguarded crossing, the mouth of the Monocacy. At 8 o’clock Stuart’s advance came within sight of Federal cavalry, which proved to be Pleasonton’s. The Confederates were all muffled in Yankee overcoats, which they had captured at Chambers-burg. Stuart rode at the bead oi the col-umn, and when be saw that the Feder-als hesitated at sight of the strange command clad in blue coats he ordered a charge. The Federals retired. Plant-ing puns on a knoll, the raiders began to shell the Federal cavalry, and the main body dashed for the ford. That was guarded by Federal Infantry. Colonel Lee, who led the forward col-umn and sent a flag of truce demand-ing instant surrender, and to the sur-prise of Stuart the Yankees retreated. Covered by Pelham’s guns, the raiders rode over the ford, and the last man and the last gun were on Virginia soil. GEORGE L. KILMER. SHOOTING AT MASONTOWN RESULTS IN MURDERCHARGE.

"Yes, I, and the good part of It Is that she knows nothing of It. I shall give It to her when she comes again to see us,” said Vladimir. “But I do not understand. How could you draw a fnce without having It be-fore yon?” naked the prince. "Ha! It Is never from my sight. The most beautiful face! A face that one could not forget. I drew It—I painted It—two—three and four times from memory, and always alike.” At this Juncture the old woman re-turned with n picture In a frame. Si-lently she handed It to Neslerov. He sat with it In Ills hands, gazing down hungrily upon the features he knew so well. It showed two things—first, that there was, undeveloped In the young man, n talent that would make him famous If It ever got a chamV; sec-ond, that he must have the picture of the girl Indelibly In his mind to paint so true a picture from memory. And, knowing Frances Gordon, Neslerov knew that this man was a most dan-gerous rival for her hand. “But that Is not all he has done,” said the old woman exultingly. “Pshaw!" exclaimed Papa Paulpoff. “He has done nothing else worth men-tioning.” Vladimir looked up In surprise and caught a swift look of warning flashed from Michael’s eyes to those of Ills wife. The warning flash was also seen by Neslerov, and his curiosity was whetted. “Surely this cannot be all,” he said. “Such a talent must have an outlet. There must be something else. Come! I will look at all you have and buy what I want.” “But not that,” replied Vladimir. “I could not sell that.” “But another of the same face?” “No, I could not sell that face.” “Then let me see something else— something as good as this—and I will buy It.” “There Is nuotker woman’s face”— began Mamma Paulpoff. "Yes, and as beautiful a face as this, but a Russian.” added Vladimir. “It was a picture. Papa Paulpoff had It. I found It one day and painted one from it.” “Show it to me.” said Neslerov. 1-lis eyes wen* fixed on Ike face of Vladimir with soiueihing like I’car In them now. lie glanced from one to another of the group. Papa Paulpoff showed evidences of nervousness, but Vladimir was eager to satisfy the prince, lie sent the old woman for the other portrait. She brought It and placed it In the hands of the prince. At the first glance his face went white to the very lips. Ills hands shook. Ills frame trembled. ‘Good heavens!” was breathed under 1:1s mustache. The words were not heard, but the manner of the man did not escape Papa Paulpoff. ‘Who Is this—It Is a beautiful wom-an— but her name?” asked Neslerov, and his voice had turned suddenly hoarse in spite of the effort to control himself. "I found a small picture one day aft-er a party of nobles passed by,” an-swered Papa Paulpoff. A swift glance of suspicion shot from the eyes of Neslerov to the face of Papa Paulpoff. But the old man’s face was perfectly Impassive. “I will buy this. Name your price,” said the prince. “And 1 will buy the jther, the one you found.” “Alas, It is lost!” exclaimed Papa Paulpoff. “It was In a small house we had years ago, and it burned down.” "And the picture destroyed?” “Alas, yes. It was so pretty, a noble woman, perhaps even a princess,” said Papa Paulpoff. “I wept like a child when It was lost.” Tears came Into his eyes now at the remembrance of it. “I will buy this. How much do you ask for it?” he asked of Vladimir. “On second thoughts. It Is not for sale.” Vladimir answered. "I d< aot wonder,” he said. “It Is a beautiful face. We do not have them in this part of Russia. In St. Peters-burg, perhaps." He shot a glance at Papa Paulpoff ns he spoke, but the old man was bend-ing down putting the hot shoe on the horse’s hoof. The Job finished, there remained nothing but to pay the Pnulpoffs and depart. The prince did this, bade them a pleasant farewell, mounted Ids steed and rode away. “Explain the mystery!” cried Vladi-mir. “You have not lost the picture! You commanded me never to lose It! Why the lie about the lire?" "The picture.” replied Papa Paulpoff, turning white under his thick beard, “is that of a noble lady who was a friend of my family and whom we as children worshiped as a saint. 1 do A JEALOUS GREENSBURG GIRL THREW VITRIOL IN GROOM’S FACE. George Longhner, a young employe in the Greensbnrg postofflee, and Miss Pearl Lucas, a Lndwick lass, whose parents objected because of her youth, eloped to Youngstown, Ohio, Saturday and were married. The young groom met with a frightful experience Monday morning while on his way to work. When in front of Coshev’s undertaking establishment he met Pauline Anker, n county seat girl to whom, it appears, he had formerly pnid marked attention. As he was about to pass on after having spoken to her, the jealous girl hurled a tumbler of vitriol at his face. Fortunately, he threw up his arm in time to pre vent the acid from striking him fairly. As it was, the side of his face and neck were severely burned. The fair thrower was promptly arrested and placed in jail. Later in the day she wns released on bail, showing evidence of remorse for what she had done. <*wr- “ Who Is this—It is n beautiful woman-hut her nameV’ not want to lose it. That prince seem-ed to know who she was, and I did not want him to get the picture, so I lied. Old woman, what about that dinner?’ "It awaits,” said Mamma Paulpoff. "Then come. I am famished. If one speaks to me to disturb me eating, I will use my foot.” Once nt the table. Papa Paulpoff at-tacked the meal with the rude manners of the uneducated Russian, and the old woman sut with downcast eyes enting her own meal. Vladimir, though devoured by curios-ity, knew the peculiarities of the old man and ate In silence. CHAPTER III. AVLADlMIlt SENT TO SIBERIA. TTACHED to the police of the government of Perm was an inspector named Ignntz Jan-sky. He was ambitious to rise and was of thnt mental and physical caliber that makes a nmn successful when he bends all his energies, regard-less of all scruples, to the attainment of his goal. Inspector Jansky, having received a message from Prince Neslerov, hasten-ed to obey, for he knew the power of Neslerov, and if there should chance to be promotion in his path at any time Neslerov. as a wealthy noble of Gras-lov, could further his possibilities. Inspector Jansky entered the palace of the prince with a humility that would have charmed the poor devils whom his eagerness had sent to Sibe-ria. “Sit down,” said the prince, and the inspector sat down with a suddenness that proved his desire to please his sponsor. “I sent for you.” "You did, your excellency. I received your message ami made all haste to obey.” “I trust It did not Inconvenience you to a great extent,” snbl the prince, who was quite familiar with the peculiari-ties of the inspector’s nature. ‘Not at all. your excellency—that Is, not so much but what It gave me pleas-ure to obey. I am always busy, as you know.” ‘Yes, you are assiduous. Well, 1 have news for you. But first I should be pleased to receive from you an answer to a question. Wlmt do you wish for the most?” Jansky hesitated. His servile mind saw far Into the future, ns a rule, but It could not fathom the meaning of this strange question. What did It matter to the prince wlmt he wanted most unless the prince wns disposed to grant It? “I should like promotion, your ex-cellency. <>f course. I make no claim. You have befriended me. You have made me what 1 am. I have In my humble way endeavored to so acquit myself that you would not be displeas-ed. I would not ask you for more. But. since you ask my dearest wish. It Is promotion.” “It Is a possibility,” the prince re-plied. Having said this, he deliberately lighted a cigar, leaving the Inspector on nettles, wondering if the possibility were to materialize Into a fact. "As I said before, It Is a possibility,” Raid Neslerov and relapsed Into silence. ‘I suppose It Is always a possibility to one so powerful ns your excellency.” said Jansky, who had a tine talent for flattery. ‘At this particular moment It IR more easily accomplished than nt any other time.” “If your excellency will explain—If anything Is expected of me, I would”— “Duty, only duty,” broke in the prince. ‘But I will explain. You are already aware that when you were made In-spector of police In Perm the field of police activity extended but little far-ther east. The Cossack guards and the Tartar cavalry composed the police over the border. But this new railway Is revolutionizing all that. In encli government through which Ibis line of travel passes or is to pass a depart-ment of police Is to be established. There will be new cities develop. There will be railway stations. The popula-tion if Siberia will increase and. though complex enough at all times, will now present a far greater variety than ever before. The entrance of foreigners, of conspirators, will have to be made less difficult. The escape of a convict will now be almost a mere act of stepping upon a train and saying farewell to his guards. “It will be, therefore, quite necessary to establish a system of police with officers of more ability and shrewdness than the Cossacks who now command the rude guards who stand sentinels over the czar’s great dominion In Asia. “Such n department of police has al-ready been established In Tobolsk, through which the railway is now com-pleted. it is time now for us to think of such n department in Tomsk.” As the prince and governor paused the inspector's breath came short and fast. "And, your excellency, In the good-ness of your heart you have thought of me?" “I lmve been thinking—of several. I have befriended you. I desire to do so again. But there are difficulties which we must consider. Your present posi-tion, while not a low one, still is so low thnt the leap from it to the posi-tion of superintendent of police of the government of Tomsk would excite the Imaginations of certain people at St. Petersburg.” “Superintendent of police of Tomsk!” Jansky cried. “Certainly. That Is the position for which I intend you. I have watched your career. You are eager, ambitious and resourceful. What better man could I have in such a position? It Is upon you whom I must rely to prevent the encroachments of our enemies. It will be the superintendent of my police who will be my closest confidant. Who could be more acceptable to me than you ?” “I thank you, your excellency. I thank”— “Walt. Thank me with deeds when wo succeed. As I said before, tbere are difficulties. One cannot leap too great a distance at once without a cause. We must find a cause.” “A cause, your excellency?” “What I mean is some potent reason for this great promotion. The chief of the Tomsk police will have a palace, a large income and will be second only to myself in power. To obtain that one must do something worthy.” “Oh, if I could but win that distinc-tion!” “I tlilnk it even now within your power.” “You have discovered something?” “Yes—a very nesting place for ni-hilists.” “Good! Give me an Idea where this place is, your excellency. There will be no more nesting.” “Do you know a forge on the forest road leading out of Perm to the south?” “A forge? A horseshoeing Diace?” “Well. Hint anil all Ironworking. It Is kept by a mail named Paulpoff.” “Paulpoff. the giant who breaks hotse-shoes with Ills thumbs and forefingers? The simple minded son of old MIchuel7 What has he to do with nihilists?” “He Is their leader." Neslerov said quietly. Jansky turned white, whether from surprise or horror nt the devilish plot he scented we do not know. But he sat there wnlthig. The police of Tomsk needed a chief. The chief would have a palace and a large salary. “Yes." continued Neslerov. "this Paul-pofT. ns I accidentally discovered, is the lender of a hand of nihilists who meet there In the shops. I chanced to pass there yesterday and overheard a bit of conversation between the son and the old man. It seems there is to be a meeting In a few nights.” “A meeting of nihilists In the shops of Paulpoff?” “Yes. Now, It 1ms long been suspect-ed that there were many nihilists nt Perm, but the police have not been able to uncover them. Let me advise you. Keep this to yourself—a secret between you nml me. We will go to the forge and arrest these Paulpoffs. If we find proof that they are nihilists, they will go across the border and you will be mentioned for promotion. Then the opportunity will come to me to speak to the minister of justice for you. and undoubtedly you will he given to me as the chief of the Tomsk police.” Jansky nodded. It wns not for him to ask questions now. “I am ready,” he said. "Then tomorrow. I will make still further Investigations In my own way, and we shall he ready to net. We must both go to Perm from here.” Jansky, not being asked to remain longer, took his departure. And then inddenly from his repose the prince be-came a man of quick action. He called from his estate four men In whom he knew he could place the most implicit confidence. Ho spent some time nt his desk writing. To each of the four he gave a letter, unsealed, unstamped, but addressed to each and apparently hav-ing been delivered by the hand of a pri-vate messenger. “Go with me, do what 1 bid you. and you will have gold rubles for a year’s pleasure," he said. Inspector Jansky, happy and yet agi-tated nt the result of the conference with the prince, sat In Ills office in Perm on the following afternoon. It was growing late, and he had looked hours for Prince Neslerov. “He was mistaken or he has failed,” he said "He would have come if there wns a possibility of success.” As he spoke the prince’s horse gal-loped to the door. “Good! Then success Is possible!” said Jansky, grasping the hand of his noble benefactor. “Possible! It Is certain. Come with me.” Jansky’s horse was soon by the side of the steed ridden by the prince. “I made it my business to ride past the shops of Paulpoff,” said the prince. "I met there, just leaving, a man who wns, to say the least, discreditable in appearance. I spoke to him, anil he was frightened. 1 saw him crumple a paper in Ids hand. I snatched it from him. It was a message addressed to ‘Number Five’ of some mysterious cir-cle, calling upon the person bearing that name to come to the shops at a certain hour tonight. We shall be In time. Let us ride.” It had so chanced that a number of accidents to Imrses bad taken place that day on the forest road. When the inspector of police and Neslerov ar-rived, four men were within the shop, their horses standing outside, and all were apparently in the greatest eager-ness to have their horses shod. Papa Paulpoff was visibly disturbed by this sudden influx of the horseshoeing busi-ness, but the giant Vladimir, who nev-er refused a request if he could help a human being, wns beginning to mnke the shoes. The men did not apparently know one another, and each growled continually at the others for being there. Neslerov, upon arriving at the shop, whispered to the inspector, and both leuped from their horses. “Seize the old nmn nml the son!” said Nc-sleroT. “I will search these fel-lows.” [TO BE CONTINUED.] Soft Harness You can make your har-ries* IlH HOft IlM H gl()VO and ns tough an wire hy ufflng EIJII KKA Har-ness Oil.

Go, autumn, since you can’t stay with us, go! We would not seek to keep that which Is dead; The leaves are gone that dangled over-head, The flowers that bloomed have ceased, alas, to blow!

THE TIGERS WENT DOWN IN DEFEAT Before the Sturdy Bradenville Foot Ball Lads AT GREENSBURG WEDNESDAY IN A GAME THAT WAS RUNNING OVER WITH EXCITEMENT. The Stripe Wearers From Mount Pleas-ant Didn't Strike Their Gait Until the Second Half and Then it was Too Late. They Were but one Measly Point Be-hind but That was Enough to Lose Local Sports LotB of the Long Green as well as the County Championship. The local Tiger and the Bradenville foot hall teams met at Greensbnrg Wednesday afternoon last to decide the county amateur championship that was won by the latter by one measly point, enough, however, to win the honor and as good as a thousand so far as losing a lot of wealth for the Mount Pleasant sports was concerned. There was a big crowd present and the contest through out was exciting, although impartial judges hold that the Tigers should have won had they played their game in the first half. The Bradenville lads worked the hall over into Tiger territory early in the first half and kept it there, finally secur ing a touchdown by straight tactics Goal was kicked and the half ended in a score of 6-0 in their favor. Gemas, the TigerB’ fullback, had to retire in the second half on account of injuries, but the loss did not seem to worry the Mount Pleasant players as they settled down to steady work and turned the tables on their opponents whom they clearly outplayed at every point, going through the center and aronnd the ends for a well earned touch-down. Everybody expected the score to be tied,, but Hood missed a hard goal and only five points were made. Only eight minutes remained and the time was too Bhort for the Tigers to make a second score, although they were headed that way when the referee’s whistle ended the game. The lineup was: BRADENVILLE. TIGERS. Squibb I o .Rosemyer Rough It Kellar O'Neal 1 g .Orafiler A. Nowe c Witt J.

GUARDSMAN BOYCOTTED By His Fellow Union Brewery Employes at Umontown. The workers in the breweries of Un iontown who compose the local brewers’ union have decided that their members who belong to the National Guard shall either quit the guard or quit the union. The first one to feel the effect of this policy is George W. Brown, a member of Company C, who went with the Tenth regiment to serve the state at Shamokin. Brown, since his return from soldier-ing, has lost his job at the brewery, through the power of the union, because he is a member of the National Guard, and has been notified that when he getB his discharge from the guard he may get back his job. Capt. Beeson has re-fused to give him a discharge, and. therefore, he has appealed to Gov. Stone for it, claiming his bread and butter de-pend on his reinstatement. Foul Play Suspected. The body of Martin O’Connell, of Irwin, was found early Monday morn-ing at Stewart station by some men who were on their way to work. There are many bruises about the head, and some think that he met with foul play and was then thrown or fell in front of a train. His body was badly mangled. Others are of the opinion that he met death by being struck by the train. O’Connell was 32 years of age and was employed on the Weshinghouse foundry plant being erected at Trafford City.

DECIDEDLY NEW KINK TAKEN ON SATURDAY LAST IN THE JACOB BYERS SUITS. His Nephew, William R. Byers, Petitions the Allegheny County Court to Admit Him as a Defendant, Claiming His Uncle Gave Him the Missing Bonds and Cash. RICH STORIES FROM THE GRAND JURY ROOM. Thieves are Active. Tuesday night last Rev. Cormany, who lives with his son in-law, Rev. Dr. Keister, in the U. B. parsonage on West Walnut street, was robbed of his watch and some change taken from his clothes, the thief having gained an entrance through a window. Thieves attempted to break into P. S. Wolfersberger’s Col-lege avenue residence the same night, but were scared off before they could accomplish their purpose. The larder at Mrs. Sadie Ramsay's West Walnut street home was cleaned out by thieves the same night. People’s Popular Course. The Bostonian Ladies Quartet, the second attraction of the Popular Enter-tainment Course, is one of the finest or-ganizations of lady vocalists in this country. Each member has been select-ed with greatest care knd because of special qualities fitting her for her part. I take great pleasure in presenting this splendid company to a Mount Pleas-ant audience. They will appear Tues-day evening, November 25. Reserved seats are now on sale at Overholts. W. H. TUSSING. A decidedly new kink has been given the suits which Jacob Byers brought several months ago in the Allegheny county courts to restrain his grand-nephew and former attorney, W. S. Byers, Esq., of Greensbnrg, and the Pittsburg Title and Trust Company from opening one of that company ssafe deposit boxes in which he claims are at least his missing $175,000 Mount Pleas-ant Coke Company bonds if not also some $-10,000 in cash or its equivalent in securities. The turn was taken by the old gentleman’s nephew and neighbor near Tarr, William R. Byers, who on Saturday last petitioned the court to admit him as a defendant. Attorneys Schoyer and Hunter on that day presented a petition in common pleas conrt No. 2, where the case is in litigation, asking that Willian R. Byers be allowed to intervene and answer as a party defendant. It is claimed that neither of the litigants owns the cash and bonds in dispute. William R. Byers says he is a nephew of Jacob Byers and avers that there has always been a great affection existing between him and his uncle apd that sometime ago his uncle made him a present of the stocks, bonds and cash now claimed by the nncle. The court granted a rule upon the plaintiff to show cause why the prayer of William R. Byers should not be granted. Byers attaches what will be his answer to the prayer of Jacob ByerR if the court makes the order to inter-vene. The gist of the answer is, as al-ready stated, that neither the uncle nor attorney owns the securities claimed. It is also averred that Rev. C. R. Fer-ner, who claims to be acting for Jacob Byers, is a stranger, not bound by any relationship and that he has some ulter-ior motive in bringing the present suit. Stories that have leaked out regard-ing the late Grand Jury in this county and its failure to find a true bill charg-ing Lawyer Byers with larceny show pretty conclusively that a majority of that body had been set up against “Uncle Jake.” Under ordinary circum-stances the aged prosecutor's evidence alone would have been sufficient for the finding of a true bill, but it availed nothing, neither did that of his nephew and would-be peacemaker, Michael Fritchman, of Harrison City, whose ev-idence was something like this: Some time after the suits had been brought this witness said he thought the matter should he settled and. with that object in view, sought William R. By-ers who took kindly to the idea and ex- ! pressed the belief that if “Uncle Jakey” put up $50,000 he could get the “stuff” back all right. The man of peace then sought his old uncle, laid the proposi-tion before him and went on home, Mr. Byers promising to think the matter over. Not long after this his uncle did send for him and Mr. Fritchman started to keep the engagement, but he never got there. He stopped again with William R. Byers whose price for returning “Uncle Jake” his lost “stuff” had Michael said, gone np to $80,000. Even I at that figure, however, “Bill" said he 1 would have to first consult Attorney Byers. This he did by going at once to j Greensburg, the lawyer returning with him. W. R. then said $80,000 would do all right, but Mike went straight op home, not having the nerve to submit the revised proposition to his uncle. In concluding his evidence before the Grand Jury Mr. Fritchman said that on the last day referred to he overheard Attorney Byersexclaim: “I never knew until today that the missing bonds and cash were not Uncle Jake's property!” On the jury was an Irishman who ! took little or no stock in the evidence offered by the prosecution, the only side j heard. While the body was deliber-ating before taking the vote that ignored the bill, he surprised his fellow jurors by exclaiming: “I’ll just bate ye that preacher chap (Rev. Ferner) has them I missing bonds !” THREE NEW GRAINS That Have Been Raised This Season by O. K. Fox. C. K. Fox, the well known yonng East Huntingdon township farmer, has been experimenting with three new grains, speltz, sunflower and sorguin hay, and is well pleased not only with the size of the crops but with their worth as stock foods. The speltz, or the Bible corn of Egypt, waH sown in the spring and resembles wheat in its growth, while its head is like that of barley. It is as productive as oats and is well adapted to spring grass seeding. The hail damaged this year s crop and there was a waste cut-ting it with a binder, but Mr. Fox still got 28 bushels from an acre of unfertil-ized com stock ground. The sunflower was raised in two and one-half rows along the corn-field and yielded ten bushels. It makes a good chicken and bird feed and is used by stockmen extensively like linseed oil. It is easily harvested. Of sugar cane or sorgum hay Mr. Fox had four two-horse loads off about two-thirds of an acre, but probably left one-fourth on the ground owing to the high cut of the binder. It is said to be next to clover as a stock food, horses and cat-tle eating it greedily. DIVINE SERVICES. Austrian Miner Murdered. John Suckli, a young Austrian miner at Jamison’s No. 1 coal works, near Greensburg, died at the Greensburg hospital Wednesday from knife wounds said to have been inflicted by a fellow countryman whom Suckli shot in a quarrel several weeks ago.

A VISIT EROIM GERMAN ROYALTY Paid the Frick Company’s Standard Mines. WAS PRINCE HANS HEINRICH WHO IS AN EXTENSIVE COKE MAKER IN THE STATE OF PLESS. He is Inspecting American Industries for Emperor William and wae Anxious to see the Model Plant of This Region. The New Keystone Company Leases New Coal Fields and Begins Operations at Seward. Other Interesting Notes From Mine and Yard. Hans Heinrich, Prince of Pless, a German state, who is touring the prin-cipal business interests of this country as the representative of the German Emperor, was bronght up to the Frick campany's Standard mines Friday af-ternoon last by President Loree, of the B, & O. railroad, in his private car in company with General Superintendent Kennedy. The local superintendent, James S. Mack, had no time to “pnrty’' and, indeed, didn't know he was enter-taining royalty until after he had taken the pnrty through the new shaft and over the yards and the visitors were about to leave. The prince manufact-ures coke at home by the by-produot system and kept “Jim" busy answering questions. The Keystone Coal and Coke Com-pany, of Greensburg, has optioned con-siderable coal land in Salem, Bell and Loyalhanna townships, this county, at $125 an acre. The purchase of the piers of the abandoned railroad bridge at Saltsbnrg is said to mean a new struc-ture there for the outlet of this field to the West Penn division of the Pennsyl-vania railroad. The compeny ha3 just begun the shipment of coal from its new mine at Seward where it is said the intention is to build 50 coke ovens. James H. Gallagher, Register of Wills elect, is taking 5-months’ options on coal lands about TreeB Mills, Salem , • township, at $100 an acre. He is said to represent New York capitalists. /It is rumored that the Pennsylvania jteil-road people will extend their Turtle Creek Valley branch from Export to this field next summer. John A. Mnrphy and George Hosaek, Pittsburg legal partners, who some time ago chartered the Pennsylvania, Monon-gahela & Southern Railroad Company, are preparing to build a line connecting the Pennsylvania and Wabash systems, running from tbe ^mouth of Whitely creek to West Brownsville, a distance of 22 miles. It is said 100,000 acres of coal in Greene and Washington coun-ties will thus be developed. Corrigan, McKennie & Co., furnace-men, who have mills at Cleveland. O., Charlotte, N. Y., and Scottdale. have bought 4,000 acres of coal land in Black-lick and Burrell townsnips, Indiana county, and will, it is said, develop the tract with a 400-oven coke plant. In order to keep pace with the won-derful production of soft coal in this end of the state, Chief Inspector of Mines Roderick has determined to make three new districts. One will include southern Fayette county and part of the Monongahela valley, another Pitts-burg and vicinity and the third will be made from districts along the Pennsyl-vania railroad east of Johnstown. John Scarver sued the Rainey Coke Company for $48.08 wages before Jus-tice McWilliams, but the matter was settled by the defendant company pay-ing $45.08. The plaintiff had forgotten to allow for a $3 order giyen him. Pittsburg and Youngstown, O., capi-talists, among whom are Julian Ken-neny and Charles J. Morse, have organ-ized the Orient Coal & Coke Company with a view to developing 2,000 acres of Fayette county coal on Dunlaps Creek by the erection of 500 coke ovens. The Baltimore & Pittsburg Coal Com-pany struck a steady flow of gas at the depth of 130 feet while sinking a shaft on the Gardner farm in North Hunting-don township. OLD DAYS IN DIXIE. A Former Slave Holder’s Daughter Lecture Here. Miss Belle Kearney, of Mississippi, former slave holder's talented danght will lecture here in the very near futi on “Old Days in Dixie," and it wot be well to watch for the date. T “Daily Herald," of Anderson, Indiai in speaking of her, says: “Miss Belle Kearney gave a very teresting address here last night. Thi was a large audience and every c present was well pleased with the si ject. Miss Kearney is a forceful spet er, and handled her subject with n skill.” TIIB MOUNT PL.EAKANT JOURNAL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1902. PRICE CUTS LITTLE EIGURE WHEN COKE CAN BE HAD. Tlmt small furnace people are hard pressed for coke from this region and are willing to pay almost any price for the fuel is evidenced by the following well authenticated story told on an independent operator: He was on his way home from a short vacation when he fell in with an iron manufacturer who was on the hunt of coke. The result was an agreement con-ditional upon the coke man’s ability to supply 500 tons at once The latter's con tracts expired the day he reached home and he at once shipped his new business friend the amount required, attaching a draft for $5,000 to the bill of lading, the price agreed upon having been $10 a ton f. o. b. Not only was the draft promptly honored, but a second order was returned for 300 tons additional at $11 a ton. The coke producer cleared some $7,000 on the two shipments. A Massachusetts manufacturing firm took a unique but expensive plan to get coke last week. Four empty box cars, locked and maiked lumber, were sent through direct to the Frick company's Standard mines with the freight prepaid. They were at once loaded with coke and started back. MHthout the bill for the fuel, it is estimated the freight charges alone would cost the firm $800. I HOME STUDY COURSE 1 A «t * •*.'.*.* Self Education Through the Medium of Specially Prepared Articles by Prominent Instructors Little Creatures About Our Homes * By LE ROY WELD X.—Honey Makers and Their T Kindred. HE order hymenoptern, or mem-brane winged Insects, includes the most Intelligent of all the class insecta. Although there are more than 20,000 species included in this order, we shall speak of but very few of the best known. The ant, the most intelligent of all, has been given a separate article. The honeybee is probably the best known and the most useful. Some moderately warm day, about 10 a. in., place a few drops of honey on a clean blue dish, as bees are attracted most by that color, and carry it near the hive. Some bee will flml your honey in a short time and fill her crop. She will then fly away to the i hive, but will return for more honey j as soon as she has deposited her first ■upply in the comb. She will make a trip every fifteen or twenty minutes, and you will have plenty of time to study her and other bees which may find the honey through her assistance. There is little danger of being stung. Bees seldom sting those who feed them. | They soon lenrn to know you, and 1 when they find that you intend no ' harm you are safe from their stings. The worker, or undeveloped female, the only bee which leaves the hive in search of food and other necessaries, has four transparent wings, with no wing covers, ns in beetles. The front pair of wings is the larger, and all of them move with great rapidity in flight —190 times a second. The eyes arc large and compound, being composed of a great number of simple eyes, but these composite eyes seem to be fitted for long vision only. When laden with material for the hive, they fly with great rapidity in a straight line toward home; hence the saying “straight as a bee line.” At the hive, however, they are obliged to feel their way In. Two jointed anten-nae, or feelers, project from the head. These seem to guide them about the hive, and some writers claim that they communicate witli each other by means of these appendages. The body is made up of three distinct parts, head, thorax and abdomen. Two pairs of wings and three pairs of legs are attached to the thorax, while Types of Bees.—1, Queen Bee, Mother of the Hive; 2, Worker or Undevel-oped Female; 3, Male Bee or Drone. the abdomen has no appendages. In the middle portion of the hind legs is a nearly triangular cavity, .surrounded by thickly set stiff hairs, forming a Bort of basket, in which hive mate-rial is carried. The ends of the feet are supplied with little hooks. The other four feet are furnished with little hnlr-brushes used in collecting pollen, etc., and the end of the ab-domen is armed with a sting. The males have no sting. The mouth has a touguelike proboscis for lapping up the nectar of flowers. The bee has two stomachs, the first being a sort of crop in which the honey undergoes a chemical change not well under-stood. Digestion takes place in tne second stomach. In a swarm there are three classes of bees—males, females and workers. The workers were formerly known as neuters, hut they are now known to be undeveloped females. There Is but one perfect female In a swarm, and she Is called tlie queen. The number of workers vnries from a few hun-dreds to 40,000. Tne number of mules Is usually one to about thirty work-ers during the fore part of the sum-mer. Later every male is either driven out of the hive or killed. The queen lays all of the eggs and is frequently the mother of nearly all lot the swarm. She Is much larger than the workers and somewhat longer than the males or drones. The drones do no work, but are eared for by the workers. They have no use but to perpetuate the species. The workers clean out the hive, collect the food and other material, feed and nurse the young, bulb! the coinb, stock the hive witli honey, ventilate the hive, guard against intruders, fight all the bat-tles and do everything that is done about their well ordered borne. Upon entering a new hive the bees carefully examine its interior, and if any cracks are found they secure ma-terial for cementing them so that cold winds and marauding insects may be kept out. The workers go to tlie sticky buds of the poplar and various plants, gather the gum and fill every chink. If you put In a glass window, they will cover that, too, with this same wax} substance, called propolis, for they do not like the light. During the first twenty-four hours ill this new home the bees that had a plentiful supply of honey in their crops are busy making wax of which to form tlie comb. The wax is formed within the body of the bees. Then a number of them suspend themselves from tlie top of the hive, hanging by the liookB on tlielr bind feet. Others attach themselves to these and hang In the same way, and so oil until a cluster of bees Is formed some-times weighing three or four pounds. Here they remain for about twenty-four hours, when the wax begins to ooze out from under the scales be-tween the segments of the abdomen One bee detaches herself from the cluster, climbs to the top of the hive, turns herself around several times to crowd the bees out of the way and be-gins to pick tlie wax off her abdomen and form it into a little lump. An-other bee soon takes her place, then another and another until a large, thin plate of wax hangs where the bees were. Cells for brood and honey are next begun on both sides of this plate. A few bees are detailed to feed and care for the queen. A few more ven-tilate the hive by fixing themselves with their heads toward and near the entrance and moving their wings ns In flight. In this manner they create a current of pure air throughout the hive. Still another detachment is en-gaged in guarding the entrance against marauders. When the bees have finished a large brood comb, the queen begins to lay eggs at the rate of about 200 a day, placing one egg In each cell. All these eggs will produce workers. After con-tinuing this process for about a month or six weeks she begins to lay male eggs in the larger cells, stopping once in two or three days to place a female egg In one of the royal cells. If from any cuuse the queen should be re-moved from the hive \yhen there are no eggs or larval in the royal cells, the bees at once enlarge a worker cell and feed the larva on royal jelly instead of the pollen, etc., given to the worker larvai. The larva develops Into a queen, and the life of the colony Is again in-sured. Should there be no worker eggs or very young larvae in tbe comb the bees become distracted, quit work, wander about aimlessly and soon die or are destroyed by their enemies. If things move on normally, the first egg placed in a royal cell is hatched, passes through the larval and pupal stages and becomes fully developed and ready for liberation in sixteen days. The old queen then becomes restless and wan-ders about In search of the young prin-cess. The bees stand guard over her and close up the cell so that she can-not escape. They keep the old queen away from the royal cells or her sting would soon put an end to all life there. un tne first nne day the old queen, with a large number of the bees, leaves the hive and seeks a new home. The young queen is now allowed to come forth from her cell, and if the swarm Is too weak to semi off another swarm she Is allowed to kill the remaining princesses In their cells. After a few days she leaves the hive and, with the drones, takes a flight in the nir, return-ing in about half ail hour to repeat the life of her mother. The common bumblebee is also social In its habits, but the number In a sin-gle colony Is very small, usually from ten to thirty. Their mission seems to be to carry pollen from male to female flowers like their more aristocratic cousins, tlie honeybees. Their nests are built In the ground, and all drones and workers die in the fall, only the queen hibernating or living over to the following season. There may be more than one queen In a colony. There are several species of solitary bees. These bees are of but two classes, males and females, tlie latter doing all the work. The female con-structs from one to a dozen cells, ac-cording to the species, in earth, clay or wood, and deposits in each an egg and n supply of pollen nnd sometimes a Utile honey for food for the grub. There are two groups of wasps, the solitary and the social. Of the so-cial group the common hornet Is a good example. The social wasps live In colonies of from 100 to 500 mem-bers and consist of males, females nnd workers, as do the bees. The fe-males and workers all have powerful slings, which they use on the least provocation. All, except a few young queers, die on the approach of winter. Each of these queens constructs a few cells in the spring and lays an egg in each. These soon hatch, nnd the mother supplies them with food. They are all workers, nnd when mature re-lieve tlie queen mother of further labor. Additional broods increase tlie number rapidly. The males and per-fect females are not hatched until late ill tlie season. Koine species build their nests in the ground, others ou tlie branches of trees or the timbers of buildings. The nests of the tree wasps are very ingeniously built of pulp made from wood resembling paper. (Copyright, 1902, by Lewis D.

For the fourth time in na many years the coining plant of the Cambria pow der works at Nineveh blew np Monday morning, cansing a loss of $1,000 and the death of two employes, named Jose Franz, of Derry, aged 30, and William Norris, of Bolivar, aged 21. Both men were single. The former was torn al-most to pieces, portions of his body be-ing fonnd several hundred yards from the scene of the accident. Norris’s burned and mutilated body was found in the ruins. It is not known what caused the ex-plosion, as no persons were permitted in the building except those actively em-ployed about the place. The building was completely ruined. GOLDEN GATE TOURS. As Judged From the Past Week's Trade Reports WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS OF THE JOURNAL Railway StockB are Lower Than Since Last Spring:, but This Does not Indi-cate Loss of Traffic; on the Contrary, There are Numerous Evidences That Manufacturing and Transporting In-terests Cannot Meet the Demands. Lower prices for railway stocks than at any time since last March do not nec-essarily indicate loss of traffic nor a set-back in business. On the contrary, co-incident with the collapse of the stock market there were numerous evidences that manufacturing and transporting in terests have not sufficient facilities to meet demands, although plants and equipment are now of greater efficiency than at any previous time. Distribution of merchandise is fully maintained, preparations being made for a heavy holiday trade, and frequent complaints of tardy deliveries testify to the heavy consumption. Prospects for continued activity are bright, because of unprecedented harvests, prosperity in the agricultural districts assuring a good demand for other products. Threatened labor controversies have been averted, in some cases wages being advanced while a number of increases were vol-untarily given. Railway earnings continue to ad-vance, the first week of November show-ing a raise of 4.8 per cent over 1901, and 15.2 per cent over 1900. High tempera-ture retards retail trade in seasonable goods. Aside from the expected decline in prices of pipes and tubes there has been no evidence of weakness in iron and steel, and all the recent concessions were caused by competition of new plants rather than diminished business. Many purchasers are delaying orders, how-ever, in the hope that the market will go lower in other departments, but there is abnormal support in the light movement of coke. Rail mills are fully j booked up until next September, and a Canadian road placed a large order in : Germany, while structural shapes are : in great request, especially for bridges. . Eastern manufacturers of foot wear ' are offering no inducements to buyers, and, while no actual advances in prices ! have occurred, the market is decidedly \ strong. Western shops are also busy. Sole leather is active and firm, both do-mestic and export sales being large. Some western tanners advanced prices which checked business. Limited sup plies in first hands and with jobbers have sustained cotton goods, despite the sharp decline in the raw material. Clothing manufacturers report encour-aging results in their first test of the market on spring garments. Failures for the week numbered 241 in the United States, against 215 last year, and 24 in Canada, compared with 27 a year ago. GRAIN. FliOUR AND FEED—WHOLESALE.

California and the Pacific Coast re-sorts have become so popular in recent years with the better class of winter rest and pleasure seekers that the Penn sylvania Railroad Company has decided to ran two Golden Gate tours this win-ter, one to include the famous Mardi Gras spectacle at New Orleans. On the going trip both tours will travel by the Golden Gate Special, one of the finest trains that crosses the continent. One tour will return by this train, while passengers by the other and later tour will use regular trains returning. In California, passengers will be entirely at their own pleasure in the matter of itinerary. Should a sufficiently large number of passengers desire to join in taking an itinerary suggested by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the services of a Tourist Agent and Chap-eron will be at their disposal. The first tour will leave New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and other points on Thnrsday, January 29, and will travel via Chicago, Kansas City and El Paso to Los Angeles and San Diego, arriving at the latter point February 2. An entire month may be de-voted to visiting California resorts, the Golden Gate Special leaving San Fran-cisco on the return trip Tuesday, March 3, and returning via Salt Lake City, Glenwood Springs, Colorado Springs, and Denver. The rate for this tour will le $300, covering all expenses of railroad transportation, including side trips in California, as well as berth and meals on the Golden Gate Special going and returning. No hotel expenses in California are Included, Tickets are good for return trip for nine months, excepting that passengers who do not return on the Special must provide their own Pullman accommodations and meals east bound. Tour No. 2 will leave Thnrsday, Feb ruary 19, by the Golden Gate Special Cincinnati, Montgomery and Mobile will be visited en route to New Orleans, where the party will stay during the Mardi Gras festivities. The train will be sidetracked for occupancy during the three days spent in New Orleans. Stops will also be made at Beaumont, Texas, Houston, Texas, San Antonio and El Paso. The train will arrive at San Diego, February 28. So far as special train arrangements are concern-ed, this tour will be completed at San Diego. Passengers may dispose of their time in California as they see fit. Should a sufficient number desire to take a sug-gested trip through California, the ser-vices of a Tourist Agent and Chaperon will be placed at their disposal. The rate for this tonr will be $275, covering all railroad transportation for the entire trip, including side trips in California, seat at the Mardi Gras Fes tival, and Pullman berth and all meals on the Golden Gate special from New York until arrival at San Diego. Private compartments, i. e., drawing rooms or state rooms, may be obtained by the payment of additional charges on both tours. A detailed itinerary is in course of preparation, giving all in-formation concerning these tours. Ap-plication should be made to George W.

After the Grand Jury had ignored one of the larceny chargee brought by old Jacob Byers against his grandnephew and former attorney, W. S. Byers, Esq , of Greensbttrg, Judge Doty permitted the prosecution to withdraw the other tyro bills, as noted last week in the news columns of this paper. But, it remained for James S. Moorhead, Esq., one of the attorneys for the prosecution, to add a sensational feature in his argument be-fore the court. Mr. Moorhead openly charged that his client could not get full justice at the handB of the Grand Jury. He declared that Jury Commissioner John C. Stough was the constant companion of the de-fendant. He claimed that Stough had been seen openly consorting with the defendant and that as late as last open-ing he was known to have consulted with him in his offices. The stories that have since come from the Grand Jury room only corroborate what Mr. Moorhead said, and it is a great pity that there seems to be no means of punishing those who thus tampered with justice. FREIGHT CONGESTION. The present freight congestion is the worst in the history of the Pittsburg district which mav be said to include the entire coke region and the coal dis tiicts of this end of the state, and the trouble is there is no relief in sight. The yards and sidetracks of nearly all the railroads are filled to overflowing with all classes of freight and the motive power to break the blockade is lacking. The condition in the coke region can be best understood when it is stated that there is danger of the big Carnegie steel mills at Homestead and Duquesne being compelled to shut down, at least in part, through scarcity of fuel. The Carnegie interests, which get coke when there is any moving at all, have been cut out recently and their stocks of coke and pig iron, piled at the points of operations, have been nearly depleted. President Cassatt, of the Pennsylva-nia Railroad Company, was in Pittsburg this week consulting with the local of ficials in regard to the freight situation. Plans were formulated looking to in-creased facilities. While this will mean much in time, it would be vain to ex-pect early relief only through a general suspension of producing industries, which may yet have to be resorted to. of 25 cents, the second time by a fine of 50 cents, the third time by expulsion. These Sixteenth boys are doubtless nice fellows and all that, but that blood-less Porto Rican expedition during the Spanish-American war doesn’t entitle them to be classed with the "Fighting Tenth” that covered itself with glory in those far off isles of the sea. The Mt. Carmel lads have little cause to feel ag grieved and should be ashamed of them-selves for thus showing pique. How-ever, if their poor, abused brothers at Shamokin had risen up in arms we wouldn’t be one bit surprised; for, they do say that the onslaught on feminine hearts there by Calonel Barnett’s Phil-ippine heroes was something fierce. THERE can be too much of a good fMng. See what prosperity has done to the railroads. THE independent coke operator in this region is the fellow who is making easy money these days. YANKEES SLOW TO LEARN. After giving prohibition a trial for 50 years, Vermont is on the eve of a Legis lative struggle which may place a high license local option law on the statute books. The Republicans, at their convention in June, made a party pledge that at this session of the Legislature they would enact a high license local option bill, with a referendum, the law to be-come operative after the people had sanctioned it by a vote at a special .■election. The Yankee has always been credited -with having an unusually long head, but it seems the Vermont variety has been slow to learn that prohibition does mot prohibit. OF course, Prince Hans Heinrich wanted to see the best there is in the coke region. That’s why he visited Mount Pleasant. WHEN one considers what clever money-makers they are, it’s no wonder the local robber picks out United Breth-ren people for his victims. BHADENVILLE didn’t beat ns so badly at foot ball, but that one point was very expensive to local sports who backed the Tigers with the coin of the realm. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT failed to bring down a bear in the Mississippi canebrake, but he had a week's rest from politicians and office seekers and that should do him more real good. No one feels better than THE JOUR-NAL that it hassucceeded at last in hav-ing the mills supply its regular grade of paper. The order is a standing one and yet it had to wait two months. LACK of attention is once more mak ing the town clock a nuisance instead of a public convenience. THE JOURNAL would like to see the United Brethren people turn the time piece over to Council.

By this time the members of the strike commission know that working in a coal mine is not as nice and clean a job as being a judge or something of that sort. Lots of Wild Ducks. Wild ducks were plentiful in this sec-tion Wednesday morning last. A num-ber were bagged on Rumbaugh’s pond, near Spring Garden; while scores were shot on the Bridgeport dams where the slaughter would have been greater had not the gunners’ supply of ammunition played out. John NOBS, of this place, beaded the list with seventeen. tFASClNATING BRASS BUTTONS. The boys at Mt. Carmel, Pa., have just organized an Anti-Girl Club. The constitution and by-laws adopted forbid a member from showing the lr»st atten-tion to any girl of that town who asso-ciated with or even smiled upon Six-teenth regiment, N. G. P., men while that command was on duty there during the late anthracite coal strike trouble. The pledge signed by the jealous mem-bers is this: “We, the undersigned, do hereby pledge ourselves not to associate with sany girl that has associated with soldiers during their encampment in this vicin sty. We pledge ourselves to withstand uuanfally their charms and coquetries, and on no account will we escort them to dances or entertainments, or call on them. We agree to abstain altogether from the company of ladies rather than mingle with those who allowed them-selves tc be escorted about by the guardsmen. Any violation of this pledge will be punished; the first time by a fine Fatal Pennsylvania Wreck. A west-bound Pennsylvania freight train and an empty engine collided fct Bolivar Sunday night, killing H. S. Moore, an Altoona engineer, and Brake-man L. V. Dierner, of the same place. A fireman named W. D. Mack was badly injured. Clever U. B. Ladies. The ladies of the United Brethren church cleared $144 at the chicken and waffle supper given last Thursday even-ing at the College avenue home of Mrs. P. S. Wolfersberger. The ladies gave Mr. H. Goldstone a hearty vote of thanks for his generous and much ap preciated check. In their efforts to beau tify the church the ladies are beginning to find how many good, substantial friends they have.

Kilmer.] E5JTtjN00th0e peicvkeendingmoenf Ooeft.Jefl)>, 1S8Ctu2-, TJnj art’s renowned cavalry corps ijJ assembled on the camp pa-rade at Charlestown, W. Va., for orders. The troopers wore divided Into three detachments and placed under the leadership of Genera! Wade Hampton, Colonel W. H. F. Lee and Colonel \V. E. Jones. Then Stuart spoke to the command ns follows: “Soldiers, you are about to engage in an euterpiise which to insure success demands at your hands coolness, decision and brav-ery, Implicit obedience to orders with-out question or cavil and the strictest order and sobriety ou the march and in bivouac. The destination, and extent of this expedition had better be kept to myself than known to you. Suffice it to say that with the hearty co-opera-tion of officers and men I have not a doubt of its success, a success which will reflect credit of the highest degree upon your arms.” At the close of the speech the men retired to their blankets to catch a few hours’ rest, and the jolly snbreur, with his boon companions, passed the even-ing at The Bower, a typical planter’s mansion, where Stuart made his head-quarters. With fiddle, banjo and bones the gay cavnllers serenaded their friends, then went to their tents on the lawn. Before daylight every officer and man was in the saddle, galloping toward the Potomac, where an ad-vance party led by Colonel M. C. But-ler, the present senator from South Carolina, had preceded the cavalcade to look out for the freedom of the ford-ing place. Butler had sent a handful of men over the ford to capture a Federal picket station on the Maryland side, but the Yankees were too quick for the Johnnies and got away. Butler then dashed into the stream nt the head of the vanguard and deployed a line of troopers around the ford. Stu-art's whole command crossed without alarm and struck out along the nation-al pike running from Hancock to Ha-gerstown. When Butler’s vanguard struck the pike, he captured ten strag-glers from General Cox's Federal di-vision, which had just pnssed that point on the way to Hancock. Cox’s division belonged to the Army of the Potomac, which was at that time en-camped in Maryland in the vicinity of Hagerstown. , Fortunately for Stuart, there was a heavy fog in the valley that morning, or hiB stealthy movements would have been seen from the signal station on I'Yiirview heights, near Hancock. But .iigs have the gift of vanishing in a twinkling, and to make sure the argus eyes on the height should not reveal his secrets to the army close at hand Stuart sent twenty picked men to cap-ture the signal party. Crawling up the RAIDING THE FEDERAL SIGNAL STATION. steep under cover of the fog, the gray troopers dropped down upon the sta-llon like visitors from the skies. Two Federal officers in the station made a rush for life and escaped, but the pri-vate soldiers were captured and all the flags and equipments. Thus the last danger was suppressed, for, barring signals, Stuart’s troopers' could travel as fast as anything In the Army of the Potomac. All Stuart asked was a clear road to get beyond the camps of that widely scattered army. In fact, he was prepared to fight for the road against any common foe and carried with the cavalcade four guns of the horse bat-tery commanded by Major John Pel-ham, the noted boy artillerist. In spite of the cleverness of Stuart In passing the ford the Federal troops nearest the river heard of the expedi-tion and sent word of it to headquar-ters. Meanwhile the raiders galloped on to Mercersburg, across the line in Pennsylvania. Even the strange garb of the Confederates didn’t open the eyes of the people along the route, for It was Impossible to believe that 000 southern horsemen would cross the horde t in the face of 100,000 soldiers encamped along the river. The chief business of the raiders was seizing horses. Scattering over a wide stretch of country the troopers gathered in everything in the way of blooded ani-mals. only sparing those in use by women. The hungry cavalrymen were in.t allowed to take provisions from the natives except where volunteered. In the midst of a drizzling rain But-ler planted two camion on a knoll over-looking Chunibersburg, about 8 o’clock tlie night of the loth, and sent forward a summons to surrender under penalty of bombardment. There was no re-sistance and Stuart’s troopers mus-tered In the public square, with their newly acquired horses, lending their own tired steeds. On orders front Stuart, Butler demanded the funds in the bank of the town, but tlie cashier could only show empty vaults, the funds having been sent north that morning owing to nows of the raid heralded by telegraph. The bank cashier was courteous enough to trent Butler’s party to the best lie had In his house and other residents of the town dhl the same for the rest of the raid-ers. A committee of citizens made terms with the raiders, and In the best of good feeling Yankees and Johnnies passed the night, the southerners be-ing freely supplied with food and cof-fee. Colonel A. K. McClure, a promi-nent citizen of the town and also an officer in the Federal army at home on leave, regaled nearly a hundred of Stu-art's officers and soldiers nt his resi-dence. In the enrly hours of the 11th the tired raiders turned Into their blan-kets, some to sleep the sleep of the happy go lucky trooper and some to ponder how the cavalcade would get out of the net into which it lmd so easily ridden. It was plain that the whole country was in the secret of the raid and the Federal army alert The rain had' Increased to a downpour, and In n few hours the I’otomnc might rise and obliterate the fords. Before leaving Chambersburg Stuart destroyed an ordnance storehouse and railroads and other public property amounting to $250,000. He also took away thirty officials and prominent cit-izens as hostages for civilians of the Confederacy held by the United States. About 1,200 captured horses went with the cavalcade on its ride back to Dixie, which was far more exciting than the trip from the l’otomae to Chambers-burg. Meanwhile the Federal cavalry, such as it was, took the warpath to head off the daring raiders when they should attempt to recross the river. The mouth of the Monocacy river be-low the camps of the army was the point fixed upon by the guesses of the Federal cavalry lenders. To that point one body was directed and would have been there in time to do something but for misleading reports which delayed progress. A force of Infantry was sta-tioned at Frederick, Md., and two bri-gades lay on the cars at Monocacy Junction ready to move at the word, either to Frederick or eastward, wherever Stuart might appear. What are known as the lower fords of the I’btomne were nearest the camps of the Federal army and farthest from Stuart when he set out homeward from Chambersburg. Stuart reasoned that the enemy would not look for him at the lower fords because of the risk he would run in that direction and the fact that in order to reach them from Chambersburg he must ride east to-ward Gettysburg and treble the dis-tance of his march. Stuart turned off the Gettysburg road southward as soon as he had crossed the mountain. At that time there was a body of Feder-als hurrying to Gettysburg from Balti-more to catch the raiders. Reaching Emmitsburg the night of the 11th, the troopers were regaled by the Maryland-ers and at once started for the Poto-mac, forty-five miles distant. Soon after leaving Emmitsburg Stuart passed within four miles of Pleason-ton's cavalry, which had been march-ing and countermarching all day to meet the raiders. At midnight Pleas-outou learned of Stuart’s movement and started in pursuit, but the raiders were four hours ahead of him. From Emmitsburg the southern cav-alcade trotted the long night through and made thirty-three miles by day-light of the 12th. It was twelve miles to the ford, and the troopers had rid-den sixty-five miles within twenty-four hours. All the lower fords were guard-ed by Federals, and Pleasonton was tipidly closing down by another and a i hortcr road than the one used by Stu-art to the only unguarded crossing, the mouth of the Monocacy. At 8 o’clock Stuart’s advance came within sight of Federal cavalry, which proved to be Pleasonton’s. The Confederates were all muffled in Yankee overcoats, which they had captured at Chambers-burg. Stuart rode at the bead oi the col-umn, and when be saw that the Feder-als hesitated at sight of the strange command clad in blue coats he ordered a charge. The Federals retired. Plant-ing puns on a knoll, the raiders began to shell the Federal cavalry, and the main body dashed for the ford. That was guarded by Federal Infantry. Colonel Lee, who led the forward col-umn and sent a flag of truce demand-ing instant surrender, and to the sur-prise of Stuart the Yankees retreated. Covered by Pelham’s guns, the raiders rode over the ford, and the last man and the last gun were on Virginia soil. GEORGE L. KILMER. SHOOTING AT MASONTOWN RESULTS IN MURDERCHARGE.

"You are speaking of some one whose name must be sacred.” Ills face was Unshed, and Neslerov looked at It senrehingly. "You are very fortunate,” said Nesle-rov Jokingly. “I can get no one to mar-ry me.” "You but Jest.

'0it for marrying — It will require a tine man to mnke her happy.” “He will make any one happy,” put In the old woman, with a glance of pride at the young giant. “Any girl, even though she might be a princess, would get no better for n husband. Look at those arms! Can they not pro-tect?” “They could felt n bull!" said Nesle-rov. “How do you pass the time here? Do you go to the nearest village or to Perm and play?" “Not he!” said the old man, pausing long enough In Ills work to add Ills tribute to this son they loved so well. "That young man spending Ills time at a village! I think not, your excellency. ■With Ills books lie spends his nights. He studies or he paints.” "What’s that? Paints!" “Aye, Indeed yes. lie is n born paint-er.” “And shoeing horses?" “One gets a kopeck or two for shoe-ing horses. One must pnlnt for the pleasure of It. unless one Is well known. It will come in time,” said Vladimir. "See, he is not so simple as he looks,” said Papa Paulpoff, nodding his head townrd the big boy. “Very far from simple, I should say,” answered Neslerov. "Old woman!” shouted Papa Paul-poff suddenly, so suddenly that she Jumped in alarm. “Go get the picture. Let the prince see the face of her who Is so kind to Vladimir.” The old woman obeyed and rnn out. “Her picture! You have her picture ' painted!” stammered Neslerov. "Yes, I, and the good part of It Is that she knows nothing of It. I shall give It to her when she comes again to see us,” said Vladimir. “But I do not understand. How could you draw a fnce without having It be-fore yon?” naked the prince. "Ha! It Is never from my sight. The most beautiful face! A face that one could not forget. I drew It—I painted It—two—three and four times from memory, and always alike.” At this Juncture the old woman re-turned with n picture In a frame. Si-lently she handed It to Neslerov. He sat with it In Ills hands, gazing down hungrily upon the features he knew so well. It showed two things—first, that there was, undeveloped In the young man, n talent that would make him famous If It ever got a chamV; sec-ond, that he must have the picture of the girl Indelibly In his mind to paint so true a picture from memory. And, knowing Frances Gordon, Neslerov knew that this man was a most dan-gerous rival for her hand. “But that Is not all he has done,” said the old woman exultingly. “Pshaw!" exclaimed Papa Paulpoff. “He has done nothing else worth men-tioning.” Vladimir looked up In surprise and caught a swift look of warning flashed from Michael’s eyes to those of Ills wife. The warning flash was also seen by Neslerov, and his curiosity was whetted. “Surely this cannot be all,” he said. “Such a talent must have an outlet. There must be something else. Come! I will look at all you have and buy what I want.” “But not that,” replied Vladimir. “I could not sell that.” “But another of the same face?” “No, I could not sell that face.” “Then let me see something else— something as good as this—and I will buy It.” “There Is nuotker woman’s face”— began Mamma Paulpoff. "Yes, and as beautiful a face as this, but a Russian.” added Vladimir. “It was a picture. Papa Paulpoff had It. I found It one day and painted one from it.” “Show it to me.” said Neslerov. 1-lis eyes wen* fixed on Ike face of Vladimir with soiueihing like I’car In them now. lie glanced from one to another of the group. Papa Paulpoff showed evidences of nervousness, but Vladimir was eager to satisfy the prince, lie sent the old woman for the other portrait. She brought It and placed it In the hands of the prince. At the first glance his face went white to the very lips. Ills hands shook. Ills frame trembled. ‘Good heavens!” was breathed under 1:1s mustache. The words were not heard, but the manner of the man did not escape Papa Paulpoff. ‘Who Is this—It Is a beautiful wom-an— but her name?” asked Neslerov, and his voice had turned suddenly hoarse in spite of the effort to control himself. "I found a small picture one day aft-er a party of nobles passed by,” an-swered Papa Paulpoff. A swift glance of suspicion shot from the eyes of Neslerov to the face of Papa Paulpoff. But the old man’s face was perfectly Impassive. “I will buy this. Name your price,” said the prince. “And 1 will buy the jther, the one you found.” “Alas, It is lost!” exclaimed Papa Paulpoff. “It was In a small house we had years ago, and it burned down.” "And the picture destroyed?” “Alas, yes. It was so pretty, a noble woman, perhaps even a princess,” said Papa Paulpoff. “I wept like a child when It was lost.” Tears came Into his eyes now at the remembrance of it. “I will buy this. How much do you ask for it?” he asked of Vladimir. “On second thoughts. It Is not for sale.” Vladimir answered. "I d< aot wonder,” he said. “It Is a beautiful face. We do not have them in this part of Russia. In St. Peters-burg, perhaps." He shot a glance at Papa Paulpoff ns he spoke, but the old man was bend-ing down putting the hot shoe on the horse’s hoof. The Job finished, there remained nothing but to pay the Pnulpoffs and depart. The prince did this, bade them a pleasant farewell, mounted Ids steed and rode away. “Explain the mystery!” cried Vladi-mir. “You have not lost the picture! You commanded me never to lose It! Why the lie about the lire?" "The picture.” replied Papa Paulpoff, turning white under his thick beard, “is that of a noble lady who was a friend of my family and whom we as children worshiped as a saint. 1 do A JEALOUS GREENSBURG GIRL THREW VITRIOL IN GROOM’S FACE. George Longhner, a young employe in the Greensbnrg postofflee, and Miss Pearl Lucas, a Lndwick lass, whose parents objected because of her youth, eloped to Youngstown, Ohio, Saturday and were married. The young groom met with a frightful experience Monday morning while on his way to work. When in front of Coshev’s undertaking establishment he met Pauline Anker, n county seat girl to whom, it appears, he had formerly pnid marked attention. As he was about to pass on after having spoken to her, the jealous girl hurled a tumbler of vitriol at his face. Fortunately, he threw up his arm in time to pre vent the acid from striking him fairly. As it was, the side of his face and neck were severely burned. The fair thrower was promptly arrested and placed in jail. Later in the day she wns released on bail, showing evidence of remorse for what she had done. <*wr- “ Who Is this—It is n beautiful woman-hut her nameV’ not want to lose it. That prince seem-ed to know who she was, and I did not want him to get the picture, so I lied. Old woman, what about that dinner?’ "It awaits,” said Mamma Paulpoff. "Then come. I am famished. If one speaks to me to disturb me eating, I will use my foot.” Once nt the table. Papa Paulpoff at-tacked the meal with the rude manners of the uneducated Russian, and the old woman sut with downcast eyes enting her own meal. Vladimir, though devoured by curios-ity, knew the peculiarities of the old man and ate In silence. CHAPTER III. AVLADlMIlt SENT TO SIBERIA. TTACHED to the police of the government of Perm was an inspector named Ignntz Jan-sky. He was ambitious to rise and was of thnt mental and physical caliber that makes a nmn successful when he bends all his energies, regard-less of all scruples, to the attainment of his goal. Inspector Jansky, having received a message from Prince Neslerov, hasten-ed to obey, for he knew the power of Neslerov, and if there should chance to be promotion in his path at any time Neslerov. as a wealthy noble of Gras-lov, could further his possibilities. Inspector Jansky entered the palace of the prince with a humility that would have charmed the poor devils whom his eagerness had sent to Sibe-ria. “Sit down,” said the prince, and the inspector sat down with a suddenness that proved his desire to please his sponsor. “I sent for you.” "You did, your excellency. I received your message ami made all haste to obey.” “I trust It did not Inconvenience you to a great extent,” snbl the prince, who was quite familiar with the peculiari-ties of the inspector’s nature. ‘Not at all. your excellency—that Is, not so much but what It gave me pleas-ure to obey. I am always busy, as you know.” ‘Yes, you are assiduous. Well, 1 have news for you. But first I should be pleased to receive from you an answer to a question. Wlmt do you wish for the most?” Jansky hesitated. His servile mind saw far Into the future, ns a rule, but It could not fathom the meaning of this strange question. What did It matter to the prince wlmt he wanted most unless the prince wns disposed to grant It? “I should like promotion, your ex-cellency. <>f course. I make no claim. You have befriended me. You have made me what 1 am. I have In my humble way endeavored to so acquit myself that you would not be displeas-ed. I would not ask you for more. But. since you ask my dearest wish. It Is promotion.” “It Is a possibility,” the prince re-plied. Having said this, he deliberately lighted a cigar, leaving the Inspector on nettles, wondering if the possibility were to materialize Into a fact. "As I said before, It Is a possibility,” Raid Neslerov and relapsed Into silence. ‘I suppose It Is always a possibility to one so powerful ns your excellency.” said Jansky, who had a tine talent for flattery. ‘At this particular moment It IR more easily accomplished than nt any other time.” “If your excellency will explain—If anything Is expected of me, I would”— “Duty, only duty,” broke in the prince. ‘But I will explain. You are already aware that when you were made In-spector of police In Perm the field of police activity extended but little far-ther east. The Cossack guards and the Tartar cavalry composed the police over the border. But this new railway Is revolutionizing all that. In encli government through which Ibis line of travel passes or is to pass a depart-ment of police Is to be established. There will be new cities develop. There will be railway stations. The popula-tion if Siberia will increase and. though complex enough at all times, will now present a far greater variety than ever before. The entrance of foreigners, of conspirators, will have to be made less difficult. The escape of a convict will now be almost a mere act of stepping upon a train and saying farewell to his guards. “It will be, therefore, quite necessary to establish a system of police with officers of more ability and shrewdness than the Cossacks who now command the rude guards who stand sentinels over the czar’s great dominion In Asia. “Such n department of police has al-ready been established In Tobolsk, through which the railway is now com-pleted. it is time now for us to think of such n department in Tomsk.” As the prince and governor paused the inspector's breath came short and fast. "And, your excellency, In the good-ness of your heart you have thought of me?" “I lmve been thinking—of several. I have befriended you. I desire to do so again. But there are difficulties which we must consider. Your present posi-tion, while not a low one, still is so low thnt the leap from it to the posi-tion of superintendent of police of the government of Tomsk would excite the Imaginations of certain people at St. Petersburg.” “Superintendent of police of Tomsk!” Jansky cried. “Certainly. That Is the position for which I intend you. I have watched your career. You are eager, ambitious and resourceful. What better man could I have in such a position? It Is upon you whom I must rely to prevent the encroachments of our enemies. It will be the superintendent of my police who will be my closest confidant. Who could be more acceptable to me than you ?” “I thank you, your excellency. I thank”— “Walt. Thank me with deeds when wo succeed. As I said before, tbere are difficulties. One cannot leap too great a distance at once without a cause. We must find a cause.” “A cause, your excellency?” “What I mean is some potent reason for this great promotion. The chief of the Tomsk police will have a palace, a large income and will be second only to myself in power. To obtain that one must do something worthy.” “Oh, if I could but win that distinc-tion!” “I tlilnk it even now within your power.” “You have discovered something?” “Yes—a very nesting place for ni-hilists.” “Good! Give me an Idea where this place is, your excellency. There will be no more nesting.” “Do you know a forge on the forest road leading out of Perm to the south?” “A forge? A horseshoeing Diace?” “Well. Hint anil all Ironworking. It Is kept by a mail named Paulpoff.” “Paulpoff. the giant who breaks hotse-shoes with Ills thumbs and forefingers? The simple minded son of old MIchuel7 What has he to do with nihilists?” “He Is their leader." Neslerov said quietly. Jansky turned white, whether from surprise or horror nt the devilish plot he scented we do not know. But he sat there wnlthig. The police of Tomsk needed a chief. The chief would have a palace and a large salary. “Yes." continued Neslerov. "this Paul-pofT. ns I accidentally discovered, is the lender of a hand of nihilists who meet there In the shops. I chanced to pass there yesterday and overheard a bit of conversation between the son and the old man. It seems there is to be a meeting In a few nights.” “A meeting of nihilists In the shops of Paulpoff?” “Yes. Now, It 1ms long been suspect-ed that there were many nihilists nt Perm, but the police have not been able to uncover them. Let me advise you. Keep this to yourself—a secret between you nml me. We will go to the forge and arrest these Paulpoffs. If we find proof that they are nihilists, they will go across the border and you will be mentioned for promotion. Then the opportunity will come to me to speak to the minister of justice for you. and undoubtedly you will he given to me as the chief of the Tomsk police.” Jansky nodded. It wns not for him to ask questions now. “I am ready,” he said. "Then tomorrow. I will make still further Investigations In my own way, and we shall he ready to net. We must both go to Perm from here.” Jansky, not being asked to remain longer, took his departure. And then inddenly from his repose the prince be-came a man of quick action. He called from his estate four men In whom he knew he could place the most implicit confidence. Ho spent some time nt his desk writing. To each of the four he gave a letter, unsealed, unstamped, but addressed to each and apparently hav-ing been delivered by the hand of a pri-vate messenger. “Go with me, do what 1 bid you. and you will have gold rubles for a year’s pleasure," he said. Inspector Jansky, happy and yet agi-tated nt the result of the conference with the prince, sat In Ills office in Perm on the following afternoon. It was growing late, and he had looked hours for Prince Neslerov. “He was mistaken or he has failed,” he said "He would have come if there wns a possibility of success.” As he spoke the prince’s horse gal-loped to the door. “Good! Then success Is possible!” said Jansky, grasping the hand of his noble benefactor. “Possible! It Is certain. Come with me.” Jansky’s horse was soon by the side of the steed ridden by the prince. “I made it my business to ride past the shops of Paulpoff,” said the prince. "I met there, just leaving, a man who wns, to say the least, discreditable in appearance. I spoke to him, anil he was frightened. 1 saw him crumple a paper in Ids hand. I snatched it from him. It was a message addressed to ‘Number Five’ of some mysterious cir-cle, calling upon the person bearing that name to come to the shops at a certain hour tonight. We shall be In time. Let us ride.” It had so chanced that a number of accidents to Imrses bad taken place that day on the forest road. When the inspector of police and Neslerov ar-rived, four men were within the shop, their horses standing outside, and all were apparently in the greatest eager-ness to have their horses shod. Papa Paulpoff was visibly disturbed by this sudden influx of the horseshoeing busi-ness, but the giant Vladimir, who nev-er refused a request if he could help a human being, wns beginning to mnke the shoes. The men did not apparently know one another, and each growled continually at the others for being there. Neslerov, upon arriving at the shop, whispered to the inspector, and both leuped from their horses. “Seize the old nmn nml the son!” said Nc-sleroT. “I will search these fel-lows.” [TO BE CONTINUED.] Soft Harness You can make your har-ries* IlH HOft IlM H gl()VO and ns tough an wire hy ufflng EIJII KKA Har-ness Oil.

Go, autumn, since you can’t stay with us, go! We would not seek to keep that which Is dead; The leaves are gone that dangled over-head, The flowers that bloomed have ceased, alas, to blow!
