A. Ulimttt pteasatti Jfotwml VOL. 31. MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1904. NO. 17. IAN EXCITING SNAKE STORY EROM INDIA iTold by Rev. A. C. Bowers, a Mount Pleasant Boy. IlS NOW A MISSIONARY THERE. ISENT OUT TO LABOR BY CHURCH OF GOD. THE Iwhile Walking Around His House he Came Within a Foot of Tramping on a Big Cobra and Was Just That Dis-tance From Death Itself. He Also Has a Word to Say About Ants That are There In Countless Varieties as Well as Numbers. • DEAR EDITOR JOURNAL:—I know Ithat the weather is always a safe topic I to write or talk about and we have so I much of it here that matters are made I quite interesting for us. This is just the middle of March hut you should see I how the perspiration rolls in great drops I from the end of our nose. Still, then. I there is always something to makeup I for such had times. Now, for instance, I last Saturday night when I was walk-y around the side of the "house in | which I live, I came within a foot of a I cobra, and within a foot of not living in I the house any longer, too. But I hap I pened to see him as he came with hood I spread out, ready to prick a hole in my I trousers. Of course I wasn t afraid • | what man ever is when he tells of his exploits’—hut I must tell you I didn't waste any time getting into the house and loading my shot gun. When I fouDd him again he was coiled up in a little drain ready for business. First I come, first served is his business motto. | Well, it took two loads of shot to finish him. My1 but he was vicious. After I had shot him in two still he raised his head and spread his hood trying to bite the stick that I then brought to settle him with. This fellow measured four feet and three Inches and was nearly j two inches thick in the middle. It is | only due to the grace of God that I am 1 here to write of this to you. Have I ever told you of the ants wp I have here'/ There are millions and billions of them; not figurative but literal. I would never attempt to count them; they are everywhere. The native snrely has never considered her indus | trions ways and learned to be wise, or else he has become so used to setting and considering that he has forgotten to be industrious. There is no paralell between him and the busy little ant. There are many kinds, big and small, pink, red .white and black. Some are so small that two hundred conld stand OD | a one cent piece and some an inch long that fly and the same day, or rather I evening, that they start to fly their wings drop ofE and they crawl into the earth or wherever they can find to | crawl; that is, those that are left to crawl at all, for, it is a great feast for the birds when in the late afternoon the swarm of these big, fat ants begins to exercise. Don’t the birdies’ mouth water’/ Well, sometimes hundreds of birds will swoop and wheel and all the time be gathering in the innocent ants Darkness ends the feast and in the morn ing thousands of thin white wings may be picked up but the ants have all | found hiding places. The ant that does the great damage I is the white aunt. This is not really an ant at all, but a termita. This ant is about the size of the common small ant so familiar in America, but the business of his life seems to be to eat and very few things are too hard for his | strong mandibles. I just wish some of my old Mount I Pleasant friendB conld be with me over a Sunday and go to the Sunday school in the native village; they would enjoy it. We Bing and read and talk and pray in Bengali and the boys and men that are so uncultured and yet in their way intelligent seem to enjoy it all so much Would you like to Bing as we do? Well here is a verse and the chorus of “What | Can Wash Away My Sins?” Try it “Key mor pop paray dhutay? Cable mattra Jesur rockto; Key paray uermal koretay? Cable mattra Jesur rockto. CHORUS; Aal awmulla ae sbrote, Ja kora sbuklabat, Ayla hoi ame dhole, Cable mattra Jesur rockto!'* All this time we go on working, leara ing, teaching. Their ways and ours are different. We have to get acquainted with each other and that takes time Many of these like the Christian religion because it teaches the high and perfect way. Some who are educated say it is too high for them to reach; others that they will be outcasted if we take it; but, the fact is, slowly but surely, Christian ity is gaining in India. Yours sincerely, A. C. BOWERS. Chandernagore, India. COMERS AND DOERS. Paragraphs About Prominent People Gathered During tbe Week. W. H. Striekler, of Scottdale, was here calling on old friends Friday, Arthur J. Fowles, of England, is here visiting his aunt, Mrs. Sarah Burns. C. M.

Malone, chief clerk at the East End brewery, was at his Huntingdon county home from Saturday until Wed nesday. Division Engineer James W. Shields, of the H. C Frick Coke Company, was at Pittsburg last night attending the Americus Club banquet. Misses Agnes Withrow and Stella Miller, two of Mount Pleasant’s pretty teachers, spent Sunday in Greensburg as guests of Miss Glessner. Old Mount Pleasant friends of Miss Tacy Kyle, a missionary in India, will be pleased to learn that she is expected to reach her Wilkinsburg home this week. Mr. and Mrs. John Fry, of Irwin, and Mrs. Elizabeth Webb and daughter, Mrs Carothers, of Herminie. were here over Sunday as guests of Mr. and Mrs George Partitt. Mr. Parfitt and Mrs Webb are brother and sister. John T. Fishell took his wife and family Saturday to reside at Altoona whither the best wishes of many friends will follow them. Following the erec tion of his new home, Mr. Fishell will join forces with Lis brother-in-law who is a big city contractor there. Prof. Morrison Weimer, who was ill at Rodgers, Arkansas, was brought this week to the Donegal home of his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H Weimer, by his brother Hnbbs, of Pittsburg, who went out for that purpose. The patient who is also a brother of Samuel C Weimer, of this place, stood the trip well. THE RESULT WILL BE LWO LINE NEW BUILDINGS. The details of a new strong combination of local men of money have just been made public, telling of a deal whereby the new Citizens Savings and Trust Company has secured a half interest in the First National Bank block, at the corner of Main and North Church streets. The surplus and capital of the two institutions are practically the same and when taken to-gether represent the neat total of $350,000. This purchase of the half interest in the real estate means the erection at once of two tine buildings. The present block will be tom down and a good part of the material used for flats that will be placed on the rear of the lot fronting Church street, three stories about 40x60 feet. On the front facing Main street and leaving an alley way for light will be reared a splendid three story structure 60x70 feet, on the ground floors of which will be the new homes of the two institu-tions that will each have its storage vaults in the basement in addition to modern vaults and safety deposit boxes in daily use on the first floor. The second story will consist of up-to-date offices, while the entire third floor will be made into a big assembly room. An architect is now drawing up the plans and it is expected that work will follow their acceptance within the next thirty days. Both new buildings will 'be ready for occupancy before the new year. COKE AND COAL. Iteme of Interest Gathered From Both Mine and Yard. The coke situation shows that the im-provement noted last week continues, while in this district the South West No. 4 plant at Alverton is now running all of its 131 ovens. A successful test was made Saturday night of the 10,0011 candle-power search-light the Merchants Coal Company ex-pects to install in a few days on top of its store building at Boswell. The pow-erful light will sweep the country for miles around, and is expected to prove a valuable aid in detectingany attempts made to destroy the company’s tipple DEMOCRATIC MUDDLE Overthe Election of National Delegates From This District.

The Latrobe “Advance” says that the j solution of the muddle rests with James Ryan, of that place, who was a state delegate but couldn’t go, giving his proxy and railroad pass to Frank J. Harvey, a fellow townsman. Mr. Har-vey wanted to have Kennedy and Ack-erman made the national delegates and, with the help of his Westmoreland fel-lows, P. F. McCann and Joseph Mc- Laughlin. would have landed them all right, had not Captain Keenan stepped in with a telegraph proxy, alleged to have been sent him by Ryan, and had himielf named in place of Michael. Ryan, however, has come out in an affi-davit to the effect that Harvey was his proxy. No Evidence Against Them.

The concern expects to mount also a Colt’s automatic gun, capable of shooting 400 shots a minute, 80 feet higher than the searchlight. The Westmoreland Coal Company is planting several thonsand catalpa and chestnut trees on its farms about Irwin for future timber for pit posts. Two acres will be planted and the experi ment will be watched with interest by coal and railroad companies on acconnt of the scarcity of timber which is grow ing greater year by year. The officials of the Pittsbnrg Coal Company and the H. C. Frick Coke Company have issued orders to their mine superintendents to not only en force the state mining laws in regard to ventilation, but to make such necessary rules and carry them ont as will prevent accidents of any kind. There were no less than five weddings of yonng foreigners at Standard Sunday last and the accompanying celebrations made serious inroads in the operating force of that plant for several days fol lowing. The construction of the Westmore-land Central railroad from the terminal of the Ligonier Valley railroad into the extensive coal fields to be developed by the Segar Coal and Coke Company was begun on Friday under the direction of John Senff, of Pittsbnrg. Redstone Presbytery. At last week’s McKeesport meeting of Redstone Presbytery Revs. D. P. Mor gan, of Spring Hill, and S. W. Douglas of Wooster, Ohio, were elected General Assembly commissioners. It was also decided to solicit funds for the purchase of a big tent in whieh to hold revival meetings in the coke region. Rev George C. Fisher was received as pastor of the Middle and Youngwood churches and will be installed on Juhe 28. The next meeting of presbytery will be held at Carmichaels on September 4. The Principals were Mr. Gerard Bryce, of This Place, and Miss Mary Pressly McCance, whose Fun-Loving Friends Gave Them the Liveliest Kind of a Send Off When They Left on Their Bridal Trip Over the Lake Erie Road the Same Night. The wedding of Mr. Gerard Bryce, of this place, and Miss Mary Pressly Mc- Cance, which took place last Thursday evening at the East End, Pittsburg, home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. John McCance. was a quiet but elegant affair, all the members of the groom’s family and many of his Mount Pleasant friends being present. The Rev. William J. Reid, pastor of the First United Presbyterian church of Pittsbnrg, performed the ceremony at 8 o’clock. The bride had but one attend-ant, her sister, Miss Martha McCance, who served as maid of honor. The bridal party was completed by the best man, Mr. Kenneth Bryce, of Pittsbnrg, a cousin of the bridegroom, and one nsher, Mr. William Hitchman, of this place. The bridal gown was of white crepe de'angelus. effectively trimmed with lace and the long tulle veil was shirred into crown effect at the top. A grace-ful cluster of lillies of the valley was carried by the bride. The maid of honor was gowned in white lace and carried pink sweet peas and white lilacs. Young Mr. and Mrs. Bryce, who are now off on a wedding trip, will reside on College avenue where they have an-nounced Tuesdays in June as their at-home- days. Private advices to THE JOURNAL are that the young couple’s plan to leave on their wedding trip without any of the guests being the wiser was a first-class failure. They were caught on emerging from the house and nearly smothered with rice, to say nothing of their beat-ing from a regular tornado of shoes and slippers of an ancient vintage. Then their tormentors hustled them into a big moving van and with a German band, whose selections had the real saner kraut jingle, escorted them in noisy triumph to the Pittsburg and Lake Erie station on the South-Side, to which point less fortunate friends had hurried with posters for the car and whole rolls of glued white ribbon and rice for the proper adornment of the bridal party’s trunks and suit cases. The other pas-sengers hugely enjoyed the fine display of fire works as the train pulled out at 11:30 p. m. The carriage following the musical van and containing four of the merry-makers collided with a fence and was wrecked, although none of the occu-pants was hurt. They footed the re-maining eleven sqnares and were moved to tears of disappointment on striking the Smithfield street bridge to see the last one of the rockets go up as the train disappeared in a fog at the Point. A grapevine special from Niagara Falls says the happy victims arrived there safely, had themselves tintyped with that mighty cataract for the back-ground and can be expected to reach Mount Pleasant this week.

Tooth-some refreshments were served by the charming hostess. Smart Little Girl. Frank Nycn, “Jack” Gallagher, Smith Connor and Wesley Means were arrested at Uniontown Friday, charged with stealing chickens. Their capture was due to a little girl, the daughter of Dr, A. P. Bowie, who, in passing a local meat market, recognized one of a lot of 18 chickens that had been stolen from her father’s coop the night before. Sub-sequent investigation led to the arreBts. A Boy’s Cruel Fate. George, the 10 year-old son of Adam Hood, of Hunker, met death in a terri-ble form Friday evening near his home. He carried papers there and, in stepping from in front of a northbound South-west freight, he was run down by a train going south. The poor little fel-low’s body was severed at the waist and the top of the head was ground off by the cruel wheels. Fatal Engine Explosion. Engine No. 2220 on the B & O. road blew up on Tenth street, Braddock, yes-torday morning, killing Floyd Beagle, a young brakeman from Mars, and per-haps fatally injuring the Connellsville engineman, W. A. Hunter, and I. J. Zorn, a fireman from Baltimore. Five buildings adjoining were damaged by the flying debris. In one of them four members of the Dowling family were hurt by their home collapsing. He Was Too Strong. While riding his new wheel harrow Monday, A. L. Myers, whose farm lies just south of town, attempted to work the dump lever and put so much force into the effect that the kick snapped the seat off, dropping him down on the teeth. Abe thinks he cracked one of his slats. Fayette Licenses. In the handing down of the decisions in the liquor license applications in Fayette connty yesterday, the Pittsbnrg Brewing Company’s application for Un-iootown was held over for investigation for reasons not stated by the court. All the old hotels in the county were again granted licenses, but no new hotels se-cured the privilege. THE MOUNT PLEA8ANT JOURNAL, THURBDAT, APRIL 28, 1904, A NARROW ESCAPE. Rev. Charles L. Smith, of This Place, was on a Runaway Street Car at Santa Barbara, California. HIE PEOPLE IDE KILLED Rev. Charles L. Smith, the pastor of the local Methodist Episcopal church, had a narrow escape from death while on his late trip to California from which he returned last week. He was at Santa Barbara, an old town on the Pacific coast, about one hundred miles north of L.os Angeles, on Sunday, April 10th, and took the electric road to the old Spanish mission near that place where services of a specially impressive nature were held that day, drawing great crowds of people. Coming back there were 120 passengers, he with many others occupying the enclosed middle half of the car, the two ends being of the open summer order. For some unknown reason the brakes refused to work and, on the heavy down grade to the town, the car soon gained terrific headway. At the reverend gentlemen’s side was a big window and through this he jumped into the dusty roadway alongside the track. He was shaken up until he still feels the effect and the hotel porter spent two solid hours brushing up his clothes, but otherwise he was not hurt. A few yards beyond where Rev. Smith jumped is a sharp curve and the car left the track at that point and was smashed to pieces. Five passengers were killed, among the number a Santa Barbara business man named Joseph Smith who sat in the seat with Rev. Smith. Some fifty of the passengers were more or less seriously injured.

Jud$e Ilokc's Court Justice.at Sandy Bend Doesn’t Always Go, VJ Was Proved In Two Cases. ►HEN tills yere court was ’lected as jestice of the peace in and for the coun-ty of Sandy Bend,” began Judge Hoke as he rapped for order, "it ■was understood that what he said had to go. This court took off its coat and begun bizness. It ladled out jostice to white men, Injuns and Chinymen alike, and without stint. It enforced the law and compelled respect, and It patted good men on the back and made bad men git up’n hump. “On several different occasions sar-tin shyster lawyers have had the gall to inform this court that she wasn’t the biggest thing in Wyoming and that she would receive a check in her mad career. The court was not skeered. She went right ahead ladle-in’ out jestice and makin’ decisions, ALONG COMES JIM. and she had come to believe that she was all the law fur 500 miles in every direction when she got a throwdown. “Feller critters, I have been heard to observe in this courtroom that soon-er than crawfish on any of my legul decisions I would resign my office and take to the hills, but the time has come when I’ve got to take a bluff—two of ’em. Two of my cases have bin re-versed on me, and the supreme court has satisfied me that I was wrong. I’ve got to crawfish, and I’m goln’ to do it gracefully. While it pains me to disklver that I’m not the biggest thing in Wyoming, I’m consoled by the thought that jestice recognizes Handy Bend ns her headquarters and stops yere most of the time. • “The first case to which I refer is that of Joe Toole agin Jim Harper. Joe has a claim and a camp on Tur-key bill. One day, when he is out, along comes Jim and cleans out the outfit, even down to the skillet. Joe comes home and finds Jim’s trail. He is armed, but does he toiler that trail and bring him to alrth and then plant him In a decent manner? Not any! He sits down and weeps and laments Instead, and he appears at the Red Dog saloon and calls me out of a po-ker game to whine fur jestice. Thar is Jim Harper camped down not three miles away, rolled up In Joe’s blankets and sleepin’ like a log, and yere Is Joe Toole beggln’ of me to let loose the dogs of jestice bekase he ain’t man ’nuff to git his own back. WaB it any wonder that I turned to the bar and took a drink of water by mistake? Was it any wonder that I went out of that poker game with an ace full In my hand? “But I let loose the dogs. Jim Har-per was arrested and put on trial. He denied nuthln’. All he said was that Joe Toole was no man. Of course he wasn’t. The court said so, and you all said so. and the court sot so work-ed up over it that he let Jim go anil sentenced Joe to seven years In state prison. Mebbe it was stretchin’ the law a leetle. Mebbe it wasn’t accord-in’ to the statoots. My decision has been upsot by the higher court, and I’ve got to tell Joe Toole that be is a free man. I do tell him so, and 1 add that If be is hangin’ around Sandy Bend an hour hence this court will give him a lickin’ to be remembered all the rest of his days. If Jim Har-per was yere I’d fine him enough to pay for the drinks all around, but ns he is holdtn’ up stages over in Arizona at the present time, and is thus beyond my jurisdiction, all I kin do is to wish him well. “The second case is that of Tom Reynolds agin Scott White. We nil know' ’em, and we know that neither are wuth the pow'der to blow ’em up. Tom Reynolds is drunk five days in the week, and works at his claim on Wolf mountain the other two. Scott White would be drunk all the time if there was whisky ’nuff In Sandy Bend, and he had money ’nuff to buy It. It’s a toss up between the two, and no call for sympathy. “Three months ago Tom Reynolds breaks Into a Chinese laundry and steals eighteen shirts. It may be mentioned at this Juncture that the best shirt in the lot belonged to tills court, and that when he finally got It back one of the tails and all the but-tons was gone. Tom is earryln’ off his plunder, and has got as fur as Squaw creek, when Scott White steps out and points a stick at him and hold: him up and takes the shirts. Toni has two guns on him, and don’t snap a cartridge in defense. He stands thm and shakes and shivers fur a spell and then he comes to rout me out am holler fur justice. “‘Is this whar they gits jestice': hs says as he rushes into the Re: Dog. “ ‘She be.’ says I, ‘and how do yon want it?’ “ ‘By the bsr’l.’ “Then he goes on to tell me that he has bin robbed, and I issue a warrant fur Scott Reynolds and bring him to the bar. He stands on his rights. He claims that he was only robbin’ a rob her and that lie had no deadly weepins to p’int. You will remember the amazement of this court when them eighteen shirts was spread out on the floor and he found his among ’em.. You will also recollect how Tom Reyn olds went down Into Ills butes and tried to git outdoors. When this court recovered from its surprise suuthin’ was done. Tom was sentenced to be hung by the neck until dead, and Scott was taken out and booted clear off the town limits. “The supreme court ain’t sayln’ a word about his case, but it has re-versed the hangin’. It gently hints that this court can’t impose a bangin’ sentence, but that thar is sunthin’ of a difference between robbery and mur-der. This court ts obleeged to agree. He is willin’ to admit that the sight of his stolen shirt carried him a leetle too fur. While he will continer to feel that a critter who will steal the only shirts eighteen respectable men have got deserves condign punishment, he will let hisself down as gracefully as possible. “Tom Reynolds, stand up. This court crawfishes and sets you at liberty. You could be held for the robbery, but we air goin’ to wipe the hull biz-ness off the docket and have done with it. Now she’s wiped, and you have got ten minutes to git out o’ Sandy Bend As fur Scott White, he is in jail in Utah fur horse stealin’, and we can’t tech him until he happens to stroll this way agin. That’s all. “Somebody kick that Chinyman who has just spit on the stove, and some-body else turn the dogs out and let ’em fight, and I declar" this court adjourn-ed till somebody else comes howlin’ around fur Jestice and law.” M.

BIG LOSSES BY FIRE. |The Uniontown Flouring Mills of Mosser & Co., and the Plant of the Ohiopyle Lumber Company go up in Smoke. |THE TOTAL LOSSES FDOT UP SOME $40,010 Fire was discovered at 1 o’clock Saturday morning at Uniontown in the I flouring mills of Mosser & Co., and before the flames were subdued they had destroyed that building and the buildings of the Ohiopyle Lumber Company adjoining. The loss of the two concerns is estimated at about $40,000. The burned buildings were located opposite the Baltimore & Ohio depot, the railroad tracks being between them. A number of cars were on a siding beside the mill, one of which contained powder, which was pulled away be-fore there was much danger. The cars, however, went up in smoke. Thefirerhen had a hard tight, as there was a high wind blowing. Sparks from the burning buildings were carried over the northern section of the town and several small tires were started. These were subdued, however, with lit- Itle damage. The Baltimore & Ohio depot was on tire several times, but it I was saved.

Each 50 cent bottle (Mr. Barkley sells lit for 25c,) contains sixty doses of a I medicine that is pleasant to take and 1 which can be depended upon to cure I the worst case of constipation, dyspep-sia or liver trouble. Mr. Barkley has so much faith in the superior merit of this I medicine that he says: “If Dr. How-lard’s specific does not cure you, come I back to my store and I will return your | money.” If you are troubled with constipation, I headache or dizziness, or if your food does not digest naturally and easily, you cannot afford to let pass the special price that Mr. Barkley is making this | week on Dr. Howard’s specific. This remedy is not an ordinary medi- I cine. It is the favorite formula of a well known physician, and has the en-dorsement of hundreds of physicians of eminence in their profession, who pre I scribe it in all cases of constipation, I dyspepsia or liver trouble, knowing from experiences that it will make a complete and lasting cure.

A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its continued use for a few days will cure you completely. No matter how deep-seated your cough, even if dread consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will Burely effect a cure—as it has done before in thousands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Mount Pleasant has had a Board of Trade, in fact, several of them and, while they were not in existence, there-fore, did not help to secure a number of splendid industries such as the glass plant, the tool factory, foundries and the like that are here and all doing well, they are, nevertheless, good things and mighty handy when it comes to setting forth the town’s advances to manufact-urers seeking new sites. The last attempt to organize a board of this kind went by the board as our citizens seemed too busy to respond to the call for a meeting. The people at the head of the movement should not, however, be discouraged, but pick their flints and try again. If they do not care to act, there are plenty of other equally progressive men who will take hold if they can be brought to see the importance of such an organization. THE JOURNAL, has no suggestions to make in that line, believing that its sole duty is to point out the need. A GREAT ROAD. The success of the rubber road which recently was laid under the archway at Buckingham palace and of several other private roads in London has brought forth the proposal that London should be made a city of silence by paving the streets with India rubber. Rubber makes a great road. To begin with, it is sanitary, clean and water proof. Even heavy traffic effects it but little and horses for one thing could dis-pense with shoes. Yet rubber roads are hopeless. No public authority, experts figure, would even dare to venture on the initial expense of such a costly un-dertaking in spite of the fact that the rubber road lasts a lifetime. No wonder, either. The cost is fifteen dollars per square yard ot roadway. It would take almost a quarter of a million dollars to lay a mile of thirty-foot street. repetition of the Berlin congress. F nr-thermore, Russia will in no wise con-sider herself bound by the propositions made to Japan prior to the war. The hostilities have wiped out the engage-ments Russia offered to make with Japan regarding Korea and Manchuria. Russia will consider herself free to im-pose such terms as she desires It will be seen from the above author-itive statements that the Czar's fighting blood is up, but the dictation of peace terms by a belligerent so sorely pressed as Russia is today seems premature to say the least. THE First National Bank anil the Cit izens Savings and Trust Company, with a total of $850,000 paid up capital and surplus, make a strong business team. THE past week’s rough weather has been very trying on the base ball fan, and yet it has probably saved the Pitts-burg team from becoming a tail ender. SENATOR QUAY has, it is said, return-ed to Washington a sicker man than before he visited Atlantic City. What a political void there would be in this state if the "Old Man” should pipe out! WITH venomous cobra snakes, ,’steen varieties of ants and the like, Rev. A, C. Bowers is privileged, so far as we are concerned, to convert all the heathen in India. We always did prefer home missionary work. THE German Baptist Brethren, or rather the Sangerites, in district session at Johnstown, like other well conducted secret societies, ought to have a suitable emblem. We respectfully suggest cross ed shears and comb. THE politicians and commissioners may not take kindly to Poor Director Hamel’s scheme for the erection of an electric light plant at the Home to sup-ply all the county buildings, but they will likely get in line all right when the taxpayers fully understand the matter. ito THAT HEADACHE is certainly agonizing. But see why yon should keep we don’t _ .on suffering. We have several kinds of headache pow-ders and tablets which we know are excellent. The kind you need depends on whether it’s your stomach or your nerves that caused the trouble. IT IS WISE to keep both kinds in the house.

Bryan rented an armory hall in Chicago and in it Satnrday night last made an address that tells very plainly that he is going to have his say both about the candidate and the planks in the next Democratic national plat form. Here is how he pays his respects to the late work of the nnterritted in the Empire State; “The New York platform is a dishon-est platform, fit only for a dishonest party. No one but an artfnl dodger would stand upon it. The submission Of snch a platform to the voters of a state is an insult to their intelligence, for it is intended to deceive them, and a deliberate attempt to deceive—espe cially so clumsy an attempt as this plat-form is—is a reflection upon the brains of those to whom it is submitted. “This platform proves that the oppo sition to the Kansas City platform is not opposition to silver, bnt opposition to every needed reform and opposition to all that the masses desire.” The Colonel is hardly strong enough to control the St. Louis convention in the'interest of some friend who stood by him four and eight years ago, and yet nothing short of that will apparently keep him in line; while the so-called “Reformers” can expect nothing from him if they ignore his principles and put np one of their own number, as it seems likely they will. The Democrats are hopelessly divided. The split is so big that “Dick” Croker, Tammany’s ex chief, can see it from his new home in England, and calls upon the party to get together for 1908. CZAR’S FIGHTING BLOOD UP. For some time past there has been talk of mediation in the RUSBO-Japanese war founded upon personal desires of King Edward and King Christian of Denmark, to avoid further bloodshed and end the conflict, bnt the step initia-ted has utterly failed. The Czar, with the full concurrence of the imperial family, and his advisers, has firmly decided not only to reject all proposals looking to intervention, but to prosecute the war with all the resources -of the empire until victory crowns the Russian arms, and then, when the time comes for peace, to make terms directly with tbe enemy. The intervention of outside powers will not be tolerated.' There is to be no CONGRESSMAN DALZELD. of Pitts-burg, and Cochran, of New York, had warm tilts the past week in the House owing to the former referring to the report that Bonrke jnmped the Bryan traces in one of the McKinley cam-paigns. But the hot air passed off with-out injury to either principals or spec tators. CONTROLLER BROWN shows wisdom in sticking to his knittin’. DEATHS Of THE WEEK. The Grim Reaper’s Work In Thin Place and Vicinitv. Mrs. Rebecca E. Berger-Gibbs, widow of the late John Gibbs, died at her West Main street home early Tuesday morn-ing of stomach trouble, from which she suffered by spells for the past years. She wae born on August 21, 1829, and was in her 75th year. Her older son, Joseph, passed away in 1892 and her husband one year later, the surviving children being Mrs. Merrett A. King and B. F. Gibbs, who made their home with her. She also leaves three sisters and three brothers, Mrs. Brechbill and Mrs Stahl, of this place; Mrs. Maria Wor-man, of Iowa, and Daniel, Christ and John Berger, of Missouri. Mrs. Gibbs was an ideal Christian wife and mother and, while never very strong physically, possessed a mind that was bright and active even when the loving heart strings broke in death. She had no fear when she went down into the dark val-ley. Leaning upon Him Whom she had so long and faithfully served, she parted from her loved ones here with a smile that may also have been meant for loved ones waiting there, on the other side. Rev. Dr. Lawrence Keister, pastor of the United Brethren church, of which she was a member, conducted the fun-eral services at the house at 2 o’clock this afternoon, the interment following in the cemetery. Daniel Wertz, a pioneer of Dawson, died at his home in that place last Wednesday, aged 78 years. Two daugh-ters, one brother, David, of Mendon, and his sister, Mrs. Mary Hutchinson, of this place, survive. He was one of the California forty-nine gold hunters and a veteran of the Civil war. Alexander Grieve, an old friend of George Parfitt, of this place, died Fri-day at his Westmoreland City home of dropsy, aged 44 years. Friends of Homer C. Hoffman, for-merly of this place, will regret to learn of the death of his young wife which occurred of rheumatism at their Mor-gantown, W. Va., home on April 19th. Mrs. Margaret Love Miller died of the infirmities of age at her Youngwood home Sunday morning last, aged 77 years, the interment taking place at St. John's graveyard yesterday forenoon. With her two brothers, Benjamin and Robert Love, there survive six children, two sons and four daughters—Mrs. Clara Bortz, of Wilkinsburg; Ira and Smith Miller, of Iowa; Mrs. Belle Wine-man, Miss Laura Miller and Mrs. Ella Ruminel, of Youngwood. Imported English Shire Stallion, ELDORADO, (15,093.) (5,077.)

Tussing will preach. J. B. Myers, Jr., the East End music store man, desires to inform the public that he has authorized no piano tuner to do work for him. Miss Capitola Mason, of this place, took the teachers' professional certificate examination at Greensburg Saturday, as did also H. S. Martz, of Stauffer, that for a permanent certificate. Miss Brownlee is the new head nurse at the hospital here. She is a graduate of a Belfast, Ireland, institution and was for ten years the head of a Presby-terian hospital in Philadelphia. The box social at Warden’s school house last Thursday evening netted the improvement fund $26.68. The man agement takes this means of thanking the public for generous patronage. A. T. Peterson, the well known local shoeman, has had a serious time the past week or more with gall stones, While his condition is improved, he is still confined to his East Main street home. A shed at the rear of the East End brewery plant was destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon, although the loss was trifling. It is supposed that boys play ing about the place with matches set it on fire. AROUND AND ABOUT. But Principally Within the Bounds of This County. A FULL COLUMN OF GOOD NEWS SECURED FROM THE PAGES OF RE-LIABLE EXCHANGES. The first tented show of the season will make its appearance here on Mon day, May 2nd. Pawnee Bill's Wild West ami Grand Far East has grown to immense proportions since its last visit here. Over ten hundred people and horses are now employed and the inno vations are new and startling. Indians, Cowboys, Cossacks, Chinese, Japanese, Riffen, Arabs, Scouts, Mexicans, Philippine bolo men and soldiers from European armies all go to make up the grandest exhibition ever given. o. The Pike Run Country Club people are being congratulated upon having secured tue services of Harvey J. Shupe of this place, as manager of their Laurel Hill property. He will take charge Monday next. The members of the Bohemian-Sla vonic Benevolent Society, with many invited friends, celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the local order in their hall last night. A royal good time was had. Dr. Cary L. Sheppard, late of Des Moines, Iowa, where he was graduated from S. S. Still College of Osteopathy has decided to locate here with his wife and family. His office is in the new Andrew block, on the hill. In wiping off the machinery early Wednesday morning, Jacob Hitchman a night fireman at the East End brewery, carelessly laid his left hand within reach of the engine shaft which nipped off the second and third fingers. The annual meeting of Westmoreland Classis will be held at .Yandergrift, beginning Thursday evening, May Rev. W. H. Tussing, of this place, the retiring moderator, will preach the opening sermon. D. B. Fisher is the lay-delegate from this place. The local Methodist Episcopal people will have a nice pipe organ early next month. The instrument is one of those given the Dawson Memorial church by Mrs. Cochran and then presented to the pastor, Rev. Bryson, who in turn gave it to Rev. Smith for his people. John D. Hitchman, of this place, the Republican candidate for Controller recovered his lost Scotch collie dog last evening at Hecla through the kindness of Perry Whitehair, to whose place the animal strayed last Friday. A few lines in THE JOURNAL did the rest. William Rhome, of Central, was sent to jail at Greensburg Tuesday by Jus tice McWilliams to await trial on a charge of assault and battery preferred by his wife. William Conley, of the Acme coke works, settled a similar charge made by his wife the same day. J. M. Langendorf, who formerly re-sided here but is now a jeweler at Mon-ongahela, is the treasurer of the newly organized Cuba Development and Man ufaeturing Company, capital stock $250,000. The intention is to erect a can factory and preserving plant near Ha-vana, Cuba. There is nothing in the report that the East End plant of the Pittsburg Brewery would, with others outside of the city, be kept running night and day to meet the beer shortage caused in Pittsburg by the ten and fifteen-day shutdowns ordered by the Allegheny county court for alleged violations of the liquor law. Frank Havanish, a Slavish driver in the mines at Buckeye, in attempting to jump on the front of his moving trip after his light had gone out, fell and was run over, his spine being fractured. He was brought to the hospital here where he will likely be operated on to-day, although his chances of recovery are slim. SIlALJLIa 1 David Shaulis is recovering from his recent illness. Miss Carrie Shaulis was working for D. P. Shaulis last week. Six inches of snow on April 20th wasn’t so bad for what is hoped was winter’s last wag of the hammer. Elmer Nedrow is a frequent visitor over towards Bakersville. Miss Katharine McLean closed a sue cessful term of school here on last Thursday. This popular young teacher spent last Sunday with Miss Emma Nedrow. Miss Mary Shaulis was the guest of David Shaulis last Sunday Little Bill deeply regrets the close of school. He likes to travel that road. Miss Laura Nedrow will work for Me Clelland Shaulis this summer. Miss Grace Nedrow has gone to Jones Mills for the summer to the regret of many friends. Miss Viola Miller keeps the boys on the jump all right. The surprise party at “The Springs’ was certainly an enjoyable affair and the hostess, Miss Emma Nedrow, and brother Elmer were surprised but great-ly pleased when the guests all arrived. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing quite a variety of very interest ing and amusing games. Excellent music was furnished by Simon Shaulis Elmer Shaulis was out “sparking” again Saturday evening and did not get home until the next morning. It is too bad, Jordan, that you have to go so far now, but we can’t help it. William Miller, while hauling sugar water one day last week, was seriously injured by the team running off and dragging him quite a distance. Quite a number of our people have the mumps. It Wasn’t Carrie. Considerable interest was stirred up Sunday by the report that Carrie Na-tion was at the National Hotel with her hatchet ready to smash a few saloons the next morning. The visitor, how-ever, was Mrs. Ellen E. Eldred, a much quieter temperance worker who was prevented by rain from making a street address Sunday evening. New Laundry Machine. F. S. Dullinger has just added to his Church street steam laundry a steam heated return apron mangle, the latest thing out in his line of business, and in tends to do family washings cheaper than they can be done at home.

How these Articles Appear After They Have been Boiled Down Into Short Paragraphs That Speak to the Point But Briefly of Interesting- Events Transpiring in the Old Star of the West Aloysios Coll, the well-known author and poet of Connellsville, is ill of ap-pendicitis. Dick Deniker, of Ruffsdale, was high gun at last week’s Bradenville shoot held by the gun club there. In the rifle team match at Scottdale Saturday the local club was defeated by Greensburg by 128 inches. The Pennsylvania railroad signals were changed Sunday from red, white and green to yellow and black. There is now talk of the Pennsylvania railroad elevating its tracks through Greensburg instead of building cut offs either north or south of the town. The Pittsburg and Johnstown Tele-phone Company is putting up its poles in Greensburg, Judge McConnell hay ing dissolved the injunction secured by Council. Ananias Wetzel, 24 years old, was killed Saturday night at Somerset by being run over by a Baltimore and Ohio railroad train. His home was at Woyd stock, Va. The argument for a new trial in the case of Mrs. Soffel, who was convicted of attempting to corrupt public morals on the stage, was heard at Uniontown yesterday. Jacob, Joseph and Margaret Casheba and Thomas Roman were committed to jail at Greensburg Saturday by J ustice Campbell, of Donegal, charged with the larceny of timber. Attorney R. W. Dawson and E W Doolittle, of Uniontown, who sailed for Europe Tuesday, secured credentials to give them a private audience with Pope Pins X on reaching Rome. Gertrude, the seven-year-old daugh-ter of W. M. Moore, died at her home in Ludwick Thursday last from burns received Tuesday evening while burn ing rubbish in the lot adjoining the house In cleaning up the other day a Slav ish woman at Leckrone, Fayette county, burned a bedtick in which her buBband had hid $909 in currency and some silver. She got the silver, but the bills went up in smoke. Last Thursday night at Smock, Fay-ette county, fire destroyed the grocery store of Baccus& Garood, the residences of Job Frasher and Nat Garwood, be-sides several other buildings. The total loss is given at $25,000. The Pennsylvania railroad engine house at the Southwest junction,Greens-burg, was destroyed by fire Saturday night, causing a loss of $10,000. It is said that the big building caught from the burning cinder dump. W. J. Gathers, of Connellsville, a brakeman on a Baltimore and Ohio freight train, was struck by a project ing timber at Elm Grove Sunday. His skull was so badly crushed that he died before the train reached Wheeling. Charles Emmerich, Jr., of Penn, has just completed a 41-day fast. He is 10 years old, five feet four inches tall and weighs 148 pounds. During this period he took nothing but the juice of three and one half lemons squeezed in water.

Frank Rothermel, a farmer living near Waltz’s Mills, was found dead in the field where he was plowing last Wednesday. One report says that he was dragged to death by having the line wrapped about his wrist and another story is that be fell dead of apoplexy. He was about 45 years of age and leaves a wife and child.

Eight of the Striking Coal Miners and Or-oanizers at Garrett Arrested on That Charge Friday Last. TEMPORARY PEACE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED Sheriff A. J. Coleman, of Somerset county, on Friday last arrested eight of the striking coal miners and organizers at Garrett on the attachments for contempt of court issued by Judge Francis J. Kooser Thursday. He also served bench warrants on 12 others, summoning them to appear in court and show cause why they should not also be adjudged in contempt of court in violating the restrictions of an injunction directed against them on February 9. Those arrested on attachment proceedings were taken before Justice A. J. McKenzie, where they entered bail in the sum of $300 for their appearance in court. Those arrested include Mark Smith, a union organizer, who was found at the depot as he was preparing to take a train, and Howard Williams, president of the Garrett union. James Zelinsky, also an organizer, could not be found. Otlicers searched for William Nehinsky for several hours before they located him after searching his house. The arrests were made without trouble, although the men boldly denoun-ced the action. Judge Kooser’s order in the case states that upon conviction fines will be imposed, but that the men will not be committed to jail except in the default of payment of fine. President Williams said the union was prepared to pay the fines which might be assessed. The Garrett Coal Com-pany’s Hocking plant, where all the trouble occurred, was closed down Friday. Dreadful Attack of Whooping Gough. Mrs. Ellen Harlison, of 800 Park Ave., Kansas City, Mo., writes as follows: “Our two children had a severe attack of whooping cough One of them in the paroxysm of coughing would ofteh faint and bleed at the nose. We tried every-thing we heard of without getting relief. We then celled in our family doctor who prescribed Foley's Honey and Tnr With the very first, dose they began to improve and we feel that it has saved their lives.’' Refuse substitutes. All dealers. The surest and safest remedy for kid-ney and bladder diseases is Foley’s Kid-ney Cure. All dealers. It’s the little colds that grow into big colds: the big colds that end in con-sumption and death.

Dr. Wood's Norway PineSyrup What (he German Thought Cf the Fisherman’s Tale AFISHERMAN stopping at the house of u well to do and edu-cated German referred lo the in-ability of the average German to ap-preciate an American joke, yet the American was quick to catch on to any of tlie jokes given out in the l'llegende Blatter and other German comic pub-lications. The German disputed this statement and said, "Germans are just us quick to understand a joke as any-body else.” "Well,” said the fisherman, "here’s oue. We had down in our country a farmer with such big feet that when he went to bed nights he had to go out into the forks of the road and use them for a bootjack to pull oft' his boots." Tlie German never cracked a smile. “I told you so,” said the fisherman. “Vatt a minute, just,” said tlie Ger-man, “so 1 see redder 1 you under-stand correctly. You say dot you know a man vat makes a bootjack al-ready of de forks of de road to pull mit his boots off, he such big feet got?” “Yes," said the fisherman. “Y'ou mean by de forks of de road vere de road one goes dis vny and de odder dat vay, a fork making?” "Yes.” “And he go out dere and his boots he must pull off like a bootjack he use ?" “Yes.” “Yell, I understand, don’t I? Vat?” “Yes.” “Oh, den. dat no joke vas. Dat vas chust a tarn lie.”—Forest and Stream. Clerk Conld Not Skip. Tlie reading of a long appropriation bill in either house of congress is in-variably a most tedious proceeding for members, and equally tiresome for the clerks. Consequently when there is a slim senate or house and a large sec-tion of the bill without any committee amendments It is customary for ex-perienced clerks to skip a few words or paragraphs or even pages here and there to facilitate consideration. Rare-ly is there any objection to this prac-tice, but one of the appropriation bills In the senate this week proved an ex-ception to the rule. “Mr. President,” exclaimed Mr. Ba-con of Georgia suddenly, “I would like to ask where the clerk Is reading. I have been unable to follow the read-ing of the bill!” Tlie clerk announced tlie exact page and line and continued reading. Hard-ly three minutes later a similar inquiry came from Mr. Culberson of Texas, directly next to Mr. Bacon. “.Mr. President,” he exclaimed in a shrill voice, “I am unable to find the place where tlie clerk is now reading, and would like to be'Informed!” The clerk proceeded in his clear, re-sounding voice, and because of the in-terest of so many senators In the text of the bill had to break senate prece-dent and read every word of tlie bill from that time on.—Washington Times- Appropriate. “What, are you doing?” asks the hus band, watching his wife snipping into some goods with her scissors. “Cutting out my spring suit.” He laughs merrily at her. “Good joke op you,” he says. “You have mistaken a map of the war In Manchuria for the pattern.” “It will not make so much differ-ence,” she smiles, putting some more pins in her mouth. “It is to have a Russian blouse effect.”—Judge. Didn’t Think Her Kg.nl to It. An old ludy, who, with her husband, had spent the winter in Japan, was asked by one of her friends if she had heard an earthquake while there. “Yes, I heard ona," she answered, “and rather enjoyed It for It was the first thing that happened since John and I were married that he did not think I was to blame for."—London Ent.Rit*.

There were thoughts in Casey's thinker when it came his turn to hit. Half past five the clock recorded. It was getting time to quit. Casey felt his belt a-loosening—supper time was drawing near. "Let him pass me up a good one, and I’ll end the fun right here.” Raying this, his feet he planted flrmly in the well packed earth. "Though the poet says I strike out, here is where I show my worth.” To the plate the ball came sailing. Casey soused it on the beak. Out it soared toward the palings, leaped the fence and made a sneak, mind the bases Casey sauntered. His home run had won the game And wiped out a stain which long had been disgraceful to his name. -San Francisco Examiner Not the Some. “I understand Politely is working.” "Hull!

[CONTINUED.] The captriln, missing nothing from (he ready welcome, took his accus-tomed place between the sisters and answered the few questions put first by one nnd then by the other with great Impartiality. Then, prompted by some reminiscence, he found himself speedily launched on an ofttold tale. As he meandered sentences the ed by his bulky person, eying other critically nnd paying only an out-ward attention to his prolixity. At that moment each of them felt some j faint regret for the old happy pence which had gone completely from her life. When the captain had finished Ids story nnd found his regard In the glass of mulled wine which his hostess placed at his elbow, that lady In her snavest tones asked for the pleasure of his company at ten on Thursday. And this was Tuesday! “Why, ma’am,” he returned heartily, “I’d like to come first rate, but Judge Hascom’s folks have Invited me to sup-per that night”— “Then Friday,” smiled Miss Corne-lia, though she felt the iron enter her soul. "That’s engaged, too,” laughed the ' captain as heedlessly as n boy. “I’m down for a party at the Lanes'. ’Twill seem queer to be going to a party again, but Mrs. Lane wouldn’t take no for an answer. She said 'twould liven me up to see the young folks dancing and she’d answer for it I hadn’t for-gotten how to cut a pigeon’s wing with the best of ’em. Anyway, she'd lead the Itoger de Coverley with me herself. She wouldn’t let me off on that.” “Saturday!” gasped Miss Cornelia. “Very sorry, ma’am, but I’m going to organ practicing with the Hunters. ( Dear, dear, how time flies! ’Twas only the other day that Cephas Hunter’s little Molly used to toddle over to our house to play with the shells I’d* brought home, and now, bless me, she’s grown to be a woman, with a voice that sings the very heart out of n man! ’Tain’t any wonder they give her first place In the choir.

Come now, Miss Cordelia, you’re a judge of mu-sic. Don't you think she gave ‘Rock of Ages’ tine last Sunday?” “Yes,” stammered poor Miss Corde-lia; "very fine.” The captain hummed the hymn soft ly. Ills eyes had a tender, reminiscent glow. Miss Cornelia sat looking on In silence for a few’ moments. Then she gathered herself together for one last effort. “Sister,” she suggested, “suppose you give us some music now. The captain and I will discuss later when he can come to us.” “Well, I do seem, to be in demand,” the visitor chuckled complacently, “and I won’t say I don’t enjoy it. A man gets kind of soured being by himself all the time. If you’ll believe it, ma’am, I haven’t au evening free next week. I don’t know what’s come over Broad-meadows all of a sudden. It's ‘Captain Taylor’ here and 'Captain Taylor’ there. Lord, ma’am, I’m as flustered as a girl^jpg to her iirst party, and— there—tlicsfc I didn’t know I cared so much for pcIJJHe after all.” Miss Cornelia smiled sympathetical-ly, though in that moment, with her quick perception, she saw the complete destruction of her hopes unless she could retrieve them by a master stroke. She turned a remonstrant eye upon Cordelia, who, pale and aghast, was ut-terly defying the voice of authority. “Come, sister,” she said, with au ac-cent of firmness not to be questioned; “some music.” “Yes, Miss Cordelia, some music, some music!” roared the captain. Cordelia rose obediently. She dared not offend either Cornelia or their ( guest. She groped her w’ay to the pl- ' ano and touched the keys softly. There was no light in the room, but she told herself passionately that she did not need any. She had been blind all along. Now she could see. In Cornelia’s hands she was a mere puppet to serve her purposes and then be cast one side. Hadn’t she any feelings to be consid-ered? Didn’t she care? Was It any worse for her to try to win the cap-tain’s affections than for Cornelia or any of the other women In Broadmead-ows? She meant affections, not money or land or house. She did not take material things Into her reckoning for a moment. They had no weight with her. And there was nothing she could do. Even her little feeble piping must Jar upon him when he thought of Molly Hunter’s flutelike voice. Her chilly fingers struck a few random chords. Then a sudden resolution filled her, and she begun to sing. Meanwhile Miss Cornelia brought all her charms to bear upon the man at her side. He leaned toward her, unac-countably flattered. There was no de-nying that she wras a fine woman, a well preserved woman. He did not be-lieve she had her equal in Broadmead ows—for cooking. A comparison he had often made mentally between her and his own careless, crusty house-keeper occurred to him on the mo-ment. At the remembrance he moved ARGUMENTS ARE HEARD In the Superior Court for and Against Con-troller Brown’s Appeal in the New • Court House Case.

The present suit arose from mandamus proceedings brought by William Miller & Sons to compel the controller to pay an estimate of $K)8. It was a test of the entire amount involved in the contract which, it will be remem-bered, Judge McConnell approved and Judge Doty disapproved. Controller Brown then refused to pay the Iirst bill turned in by Miller & Sons who had Judge McConnell order him to do so. The controller’s appeal to the Superior Court followed.

Miss Cordelia waited at the close of the first verse for the hearty “Brava!1 which the captain, with remarkable catholicity of taste, always accorded to her singing. Then, strangely chilled by its absence, she went on with the song. There was a sudden noise at the door. “For pity’s sake, Cordelia, stop screeching!” a harsh voice cried. “It sots my nerves on edge. If I were you I'd give up such lovesick songs any way. They’re more suitable for that Hunter girl.” The musician’s hands fell with a crash upon the keys. The reverbera-tion almost deafened her, but above ev-erything she was cqpscious of one thought—Cornelia must be very sure of her ground to speak so forcibly be fore their guest. In one minute all the rose colored castles she lmd reared came tumbling about her. There was something wet on her cheek, and she was glad as she brushed it aside that the room was dark. “I’d recommend ’Greenville’ and Federal’ us more In your line,” Cor-nelia continued sharply, “but you needn’t begin practicing now. You'll have plenty of time to learn them be-fore the captain comes again.” “The captain! Where Is the cap-tain?” stammered Cordelia. “1 don't know. I'm not his keeper. He’8 gone. That's the long and short of it He said he’d a headache, (is If any woman would believe that! He was all right and coming on well until you began your disgraceful singing. Then he was driven away.” The voice grew fainter ns the speak-er ascended the stairs, and the last words, with a sharp laugh, floated dowrn through the hall. Then there was the sound of an angrily closed door, and after that a grim silence set-tled like a pall over the house. For a long time Miss Cordelia re-mained motionless, her head drooped forward Into her hands and her brain whirling. The captain’s inexplicable conduct, her sister’s anger, Molly Hun-ter’s voice and the cruel characterize tlon of her own singing were jumbled hopelessly together In her mind. She felt suddenly weak’ and old. All the innocent pride she had taken In her one accomplishment deserted her, and stripped nnd bare as It was, It seemed a pitiable thing. A sob choked her. She would never sing again, not even "Greenville” or “Federal,” and all those other little songs must be put by for-ever. Cornelia had called the singing disgraceful, and—Cornelia was right. [TO BE CONTINUED.] priations of n few hundred dollars are by no means all fairy tales. Of course the few hundred dollars lmd to be re-invested several hundred times, and probably not one of the great fortunes was built up except after years of struggle. One prominent manufacturer in the textile line told me recently that from the start lie had spent ids spare change In advertising. "I paid my merchan-dise bills first," he said, "and Invested the surplus, and the surplus only, in advertising. We built up conservative-ly, but the surplus went, and I remem-ber that when I used to eat fifteen cent lunches and economized in every way personally I spent thousands of dollars in advertising. When our salesmen Invaded the enstern field we knew that we had reaped the benefit. Our house was known everywhere, our goods lmd been talked of. We held the key, and we used it to open new channels of trade. Advertising did it.” This man began business only thir-teen years ago with very little.

Mr. William McLaughlin, of No. 542 South Duke street, Lancaster, Pa., says: I first noticed my back give out when I was a let-ter carrier. I was constantly taking cold, and It always settled In my back. I em-ployed a doctor and took numerous kinds of medicine, but they availed me nothing, when on the railroad the work made me worse. The pain was sharp In the small of the back, and at night when In bed It was terrible, and I often had to get up on ac-count of a urinary weakness. I sent my daughter to Hull's drug store and got Doan s Kidney Pills. After using them for three days I felt better.

Bowers, a Mount Pleasant Boy. IlS NOW A MISSIONARY THERE. ISENT OUT TO LABOR BY CHURCH OF GOD. THE Iwhile Walking Around His House he Came Within a Foot of Tramping on a Big Cobra and Was Just That Dis-tance From Death Itself. He Also Has a Word to Say About Ants That are There In Countless Varieties as Well as Numbers. • DEAR EDITOR JOURNAL:—I know Ithat the weather is always a safe topic I to write or talk about and we have so I much of it here that matters are made I quite interesting for us. This is just the middle of March hut you should see I how the perspiration rolls in great drops I from the end of our nose. Still, then. I there is always something to makeup I for such had times. Now, for instance, I last Saturday night when I was walk-y around the side of the "house in | which I live, I came within a foot of a I cobra, and within a foot of not living in I the house any longer, too. But I hap I pened to see him as he came with hood I spread out, ready to prick a hole in my I trousers. Of course I wasn t afraid • | what man ever is when he tells of his exploits’—hut I must tell you I didn't waste any time getting into the house and loading my shot gun. When I fouDd him again he was coiled up in a little drain ready for business. First I come, first served is his business motto. | Well, it took two loads of shot to finish him. My1 but he was vicious. After I had shot him in two still he raised his head and spread his hood trying to bite the stick that I then brought to settle him with. This fellow measured four feet and three Inches and was nearly j two inches thick in the middle. It is | only due to the grace of God that I am 1 here to write of this to you. Have I ever told you of the ants wp I have here'/ There are millions and billions of them; not figurative but literal. I would never attempt to count them; they are everywhere.

THE RESULT WILL BE LWO LINE NEW BUILDINGS. The details of a new strong combination of local men of money have just been made public, telling of a deal whereby the new Citizens Savings and Trust Company has secured a half interest in the First National Bank block, at the corner of Main and North Church streets. The surplus and capital of the two institutions are practically the same and when taken to-gether represent the neat total of $350,000. This purchase of the half interest in the real estate means the erection at once of two tine buildings. The present block will be tom down and a good part of the material used for flats that will be placed on the rear of the lot fronting Church street, three stories about 40x60 feet. On the front facing Main street and leaving an alley way for light will be reared a splendid three story structure 60x70 feet, on the ground floors of which will be the new homes of the two institu-tions that will each have its storage vaults in the basement in addition to modern vaults and safety deposit boxes in daily use on the first floor. The second story will consist of up-to-date offices, while the entire third floor will be made into a big assembly room. An architect is now drawing up the plans and it is expected that work will follow their acceptance within the next thirty days. Both new buildings will 'be ready for occupancy before the new year. COKE AND COAL. Iteme of Interest Gathered From Both Mine and Yard.

The Westmoreland Coal Company is planting several thonsand catalpa and chestnut trees on its farms about Irwin for future timber for pit posts. Two acres will be planted and the experi ment will be watched with interest by coal and railroad companies on acconnt of the scarcity of timber which is grow ing greater year by year. The officials of the Pittsbnrg Coal Company and the H. C. Frick Coke Company have issued orders to their mine superintendents to not only en force the state mining laws in regard to ventilation, but to make such necessary rules and carry them ont as will prevent accidents of any kind. There were no less than five weddings of yonng foreigners at Standard Sunday last and the accompanying celebrations made serious inroads in the operating force of that plant for several days fol lowing. The construction of the Westmore-land Central railroad from the terminal of the Ligonier Valley railroad into the extensive coal fields to be developed by the Segar Coal and Coke Company was begun on Friday under the direction of John Senff, of Pittsbnrg. Redstone Presbytery. At last week’s McKeesport meeting of Redstone Presbytery Revs. D. P. Mor gan, of Spring Hill, and S. W. Douglas of Wooster, Ohio, were elected General Assembly commissioners. It was also decided to solicit funds for the purchase of a big tent in whieh to hold revival meetings in the coke region. Rev George C. Fisher was received as pastor of the Middle and Youngwood churches and will be installed on Juhe 28. The next meeting of presbytery will be held at Carmichaels on September 4. The Principals were Mr. Gerard Bryce, of This Place, and Miss Mary Pressly McCance, whose Fun-Loving Friends Gave Them the Liveliest Kind of a Send Off When They Left on Their Bridal Trip Over the Lake Erie Road the Same Night. The wedding of Mr. Gerard Bryce, of this place, and Miss Mary Pressly Mc- Cance, which took place last Thursday evening at the East End, Pittsburg, home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. John McCance. was a quiet but elegant affair, all the members of the groom’s family and many of his Mount Pleasant friends being present. The Rev. William J. Reid, pastor of the First United Presbyterian church of Pittsbnrg, performed the ceremony at 8 o’clock. The bride had but one attend-ant, her sister, Miss Martha McCance, who served as maid of honor. The bridal party was completed by the best man, Mr. Kenneth Bryce, of Pittsbnrg, a cousin of the bridegroom, and one nsher, Mr. William Hitchman, of this place. The bridal gown was of white crepe de'angelus. effectively trimmed with lace and the long tulle veil was shirred into crown effect at the top. A grace-ful cluster of lillies of the valley was carried by the bride. The maid of honor was gowned in white lace and carried pink sweet peas and white lilacs. Young Mr. and Mrs. Bryce, who are now off on a wedding trip, will reside on College avenue where they have an-nounced Tuesdays in June as their at-home- days. Private advices to THE JOURNAL are that the young couple’s plan to leave on their wedding trip without any of the guests being the wiser was a first-class failure. They were caught on emerging from the house and nearly smothered with rice, to say nothing of their beat-ing from a regular tornado of shoes and slippers of an ancient vintage. Then their tormentors hustled them into a big moving van and with a German band, whose selections had the real saner kraut jingle, escorted them in noisy triumph to the Pittsburg and Lake Erie station on the South-Side, to which point less fortunate friends had hurried with posters for the car and whole rolls of glued white ribbon and rice for the proper adornment of the bridal party’s trunks and suit cases. The other pas-sengers hugely enjoyed the fine display of fire works as the train pulled out at 11:30 p. m. The carriage following the musical van and containing four of the merry-makers collided with a fence and was wrecked, although none of the occu-pants was hurt. They footed the re-maining eleven sqnares and were moved to tears of disappointment on striking the Smithfield street bridge to see the last one of the rockets go up as the train disappeared in a fog at the Point. A grapevine special from Niagara Falls says the happy victims arrived there safely, had themselves tintyped with that mighty cataract for the back-ground and can be expected to reach Mount Pleasant this week.

Frank Nycn, “Jack” Gallagher, Smith Connor and Wesley Means were arrested at Uniontown Friday, charged with stealing chickens. Their capture was due to a little girl, the daughter of Dr, A. P. Bowie, who, in passing a local meat market, recognized one of a lot of 18 chickens that had been stolen from her father’s coop the night before. Sub-sequent investigation led to the arreBts. A Boy’s Cruel Fate. George, the 10 year-old son of Adam Hood, of Hunker, met death in a terri-ble form Friday evening near his home. He carried papers there and, in stepping from in front of a northbound South-west freight, he was run down by a train going south. The poor little fel-low’s body was severed at the waist and the top of the head was ground off by the cruel wheels. Fatal Engine Explosion.

Smith, of This Place, was on a Runaway Street Car at Santa Barbara, California. HIE PEOPLE IDE KILLED Rev. Charles L. Smith, the pastor of the local Methodist Episcopal church, had a narrow escape from death while on his late trip to California from which he returned last week. He was at Santa Barbara, an old town on the Pacific coast, about one hundred miles north of L.os Angeles, on Sunday, April 10th, and took the electric road to the old Spanish mission near that place where services of a specially impressive nature were held that day, drawing great crowds of people. Coming back there were 120 passengers, he with many others occupying the enclosed middle half of the car, the two ends being of the open summer order. For some unknown reason the brakes refused to work and, on the heavy down grade to the town, the car soon gained terrific headway. At the reverend gentlemen’s side was a big window and through this he jumped into the dusty roadway alongside the track. He was shaken up until he still feels the effect and the hotel porter spent two solid hours brushing up his clothes, but otherwise he was not hurt. A few yards beyond where Rev. Smith jumped is a sharp curve and the car left the track at that point and was smashed to pieces. Five passengers were killed, among the number a Santa Barbara business man named Joseph Smith who sat in the seat with Rev. Smith. Some fifty of the passengers were more or less seriously injured.

Jud$e Ilokc's Court Justice.at Sandy Bend Doesn’t Always Go, VJ Was Proved In Two Cases. ►HEN tills yere court was ’lected as jestice of the peace in and for the coun-ty of Sandy Bend,” began Judge Hoke as he rapped for order, "it ■was understood that what he said had to go. This court took off its coat and begun bizness. It ladled out jostice to white men, Injuns and Chinymen alike, and without stint. It enforced the law and compelled respect, and It patted good men on the back and made bad men git up’n hump. “On several different occasions sar-tin shyster lawyers have had the gall to inform this court that she wasn’t the biggest thing in Wyoming and that she would receive a check in her mad career. The court was not skeered. She went right ahead ladle-in’ out jestice and makin’ decisions, ALONG COMES JIM. and she had come to believe that she was all the law fur 500 miles in every direction when she got a throwdown. “Feller critters, I have been heard to observe in this courtroom that soon-er than crawfish on any of my legul decisions I would resign my office and take to the hills, but the time has come when I’ve got to take a bluff—two of ’em. Two of my cases have bin re-versed on me, and the supreme court has satisfied me that I was wrong. I’ve got to crawfish, and I’m goln’ to do it gracefully. While it pains me to disklver that I’m not the biggest thing in Wyoming, I’m consoled by the thought that jestice recognizes Handy Bend ns her headquarters and stops yere most of the time. • “The first case to which I refer is that of Joe Toole agin Jim Harper. Joe has a claim and a camp on Tur-key bill. One day, when he is out, along comes Jim and cleans out the outfit, even down to the skillet. Joe comes home and finds Jim’s trail. He is armed, but does he toiler that trail and bring him to alrth and then plant him In a decent manner? Not any! He sits down and weeps and laments Instead, and he appears at the Red Dog saloon and calls me out of a po-ker game to whine fur jestice. Thar is Jim Harper camped down not three miles away, rolled up In Joe’s blankets and sleepin’ like a log, and yere Is Joe Toole beggln’ of me to let loose the dogs of jestice bekase he ain’t man ’nuff to git his own back. WaB it any wonder that I turned to the bar and took a drink of water by mistake? Was it any wonder that I went out of that poker game with an ace full In my hand? “But I let loose the dogs. Jim Har-per was arrested and put on trial. He denied nuthln’. All he said was that Joe Toole was no man. Of course he wasn’t. The court said so, and you all said so. and the court sot so work-ed up over it that he let Jim go anil sentenced Joe to seven years In state prison. Mebbe it was stretchin’ the law a leetle. Mebbe it wasn’t accord-in’ to the statoots. My decision has been upsot by the higher court, and I’ve got to tell Joe Toole that be is a free man. I do tell him so, and 1 add that If be is hangin’ around Sandy Bend an hour hence this court will give him a lickin’ to be remembered all the rest of his days. If Jim Har-per was yere I’d fine him enough to pay for the drinks all around, but ns he is holdtn’ up stages over in Arizona at the present time, and is thus beyond my jurisdiction, all I kin do is to wish him well. “The second case is that of Tom Reynolds agin Scott White. We nil know' ’em, and we know that neither are wuth the pow'der to blow ’em up. Tom Reynolds is drunk five days in the week, and works at his claim on Wolf mountain the other two. Scott White would be drunk all the time if there was whisky ’nuff In Sandy Bend, and he had money ’nuff to buy It. It’s a toss up between the two, and no call for sympathy. “Three months ago Tom Reynolds breaks Into a Chinese laundry and steals eighteen shirts. It may be mentioned at this Juncture that the best shirt in the lot belonged to tills court, and that when he finally got It back one of the tails and all the but-tons was gone. Tom is earryln’ off his plunder, and has got as fur as Squaw creek, when Scott White steps out and points a stick at him and hold: him up and takes the shirts. Toni has two guns on him, and don’t snap a cartridge in defense. He stands thm and shakes and shivers fur a spell and then he comes to rout me out am holler fur justice. “‘Is this whar they gits jestice': hs says as he rushes into the Re: Dog. “ ‘She be.’ says I, ‘and how do yon want it?’ “ ‘By the bsr’l.’ “Then he goes on to tell me that he has bin robbed, and I issue a warrant fur Scott Reynolds and bring him to the bar. He stands on his rights. He claims that he was only robbin’ a rob her and that lie had no deadly weepins to p’int. You will remember the amazement of this court when them eighteen shirts was spread out on the floor and he found his among ’em.. You will also recollect how Tom Reyn olds went down Into Ills butes and tried to git outdoors. When this court recovered from its surprise suuthin’ was done. Tom was sentenced to be hung by the neck until dead, and Scott was taken out and booted clear off the town limits. “The supreme court ain’t sayln’ a word about his case, but it has re-versed the hangin’. It gently hints that this court can’t impose a bangin’ sentence, but that thar is sunthin’ of a difference between robbery and mur-der. This court ts obleeged to agree. He is willin’ to admit that the sight of his stolen shirt carried him a leetle too fur. While he will continer to feel that a critter who will steal the only shirts eighteen respectable men have got deserves condign punishment, he will let hisself down as gracefully as possible. “Tom Reynolds, stand up. This court crawfishes and sets you at liberty. You could be held for the robbery, but we air goin’ to wipe the hull biz-ness off the docket and have done with it. Now she’s wiped, and you have got ten minutes to git out o’ Sandy Bend As fur Scott White, he is in jail in Utah fur horse stealin’, and we can’t tech him until he happens to stroll this way agin. That’s all. “Somebody kick that Chinyman who has just spit on the stove, and some-body else turn the dogs out and let ’em fight, and I declar" this court adjourn-ed till somebody else comes howlin’ around fur Jestice and law.” M.

BIG LOSSES BY FIRE. |The Uniontown Flouring Mills of Mosser & Co., and the Plant of the Ohiopyle Lumber Company go up in Smoke. |THE TOTAL LOSSES FDOT UP SOME $40,010 Fire was discovered at 1 o’clock Saturday morning at Uniontown in the I flouring mills of Mosser & Co., and before the flames were subdued they had destroyed that building and the buildings of the Ohiopyle Lumber Company adjoining. The loss of the two concerns is estimated at about $40,000. The burned buildings were located opposite the Baltimore & Ohio depot, the railroad tracks being between them. A number of cars were on a siding beside the mill, one of which contained powder, which was pulled away be-fore there was much danger. The cars, however, went up in smoke. Thefirerhen had a hard tight, as there was a high wind blowing. Sparks from the burning buildings were carried over the northern section of the town and several small tires were started. These were subdued, however, with lit- Itle damage. The Baltimore & Ohio depot was on tire several times, but it I was saved. IT SAVES Y01 MONEY. | Dr. Howard’s Dyspepsia Specific; Regu-lar Price 50c, H. F. Barkley’s Price 25c. The special half price sale of Dr. I Howard's specific for the cure of consti- Ipation and dyspepsia by H. F. Barkley I means a saving of a few dollars on every | family’s yearly bill for medicines. Each 50 cent bottle (Mr. Barkley sells lit for 25c,) contains sixty doses of a I medicine that is pleasant to take and 1 which can be depended upon to cure I the worst case of constipation, dyspep-sia or liver trouble. Mr. Barkley has so much faith in the superior merit of this I medicine that he says: “If Dr. How-lard’s specific does not cure you, come I back to my store and I will return your | money.” If you are troubled with constipation, I headache or dizziness, or if your food does not digest naturally and easily, you cannot afford to let pass the special price that Mr. Barkley is making this | week on Dr. Howard’s specific. This remedy is not an ordinary medi- I cine. It is the favorite formula of a well known physician, and has the en-dorsement of hundreds of physicians of eminence in their profession, who pre I scribe it in all cases of constipation, I dyspepsia or liver trouble, knowing from experiences that it will make a complete and lasting cure.

The time-worn injunction, “Never put off ’till to-morrow what you can do | to day,” is now generally presented iu this form: "Do it to day 1” That is the terse advice we want to give yon about that hacking congh or demoralizing cold with which yon have been strug-gling for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy for it to day —and let that remedy be Dr. Boschee’s German Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its continued use for a few days will cure you completely. No matter how deep-seated your cough, even if dread consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will Burely effect a cure—as it has done before in thousands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Mount Pleasant has had a Board of Trade, in fact, several of them and, while they were not in existence, there-fore, did not help to secure a number of splendid industries such as the glass plant, the tool factory, foundries and the like that are here and all doing well, they are, nevertheless, good things and mighty handy when it comes to setting forth the town’s advances to manufact-urers seeking new sites. The last attempt to organize a board of this kind went by the board as our citizens seemed too busy to respond to the call for a meeting. The people at the head of the movement should not, however, be discouraged, but pick their flints and try again. If they do not care to act, there are plenty of other equally progressive men who will take hold if they can be brought to see the importance of such an organization. THE JOURNAL, has no suggestions to make in that line, believing that its sole duty is to point out the need. A GREAT ROAD. The success of the rubber road which recently was laid under the archway at Buckingham palace and of several other private roads in London has brought forth the proposal that London should be made a city of silence by paving the streets with India rubber. Rubber makes a great road. To begin with, it is sanitary, clean and water proof. Even heavy traffic effects it but little and horses for one thing could dis-pense with shoes. Yet rubber roads are hopeless. No public authority, experts figure, would even dare to venture on the initial expense of such a costly un-dertaking in spite of the fact that the rubber road lasts a lifetime. No wonder, either. The cost is fifteen dollars per square yard ot roadway. It would take almost a quarter of a million dollars to lay a mile of thirty-foot street. repetition of the Berlin congress. F nr-thermore, Russia will in no wise con-sider herself bound by the propositions made to Japan prior to the war. The hostilities have wiped out the engage-ments Russia offered to make with Japan regarding Korea and Manchuria. Russia will consider herself free to im-pose such terms as she desires It will be seen from the above author-itive statements that the Czar's fighting blood is up, but the dictation of peace terms by a belligerent so sorely pressed as Russia is today seems premature to say the least. THE First National Bank anil the Cit izens Savings and Trust Company, with a total of $850,000 paid up capital and surplus, make a strong business team. THE past week’s rough weather has been very trying on the base ball fan, and yet it has probably saved the Pitts-burg team from becoming a tail ender. SENATOR QUAY has, it is said, return-ed to Washington a sicker man than before he visited Atlantic City. What a political void there would be in this state if the "Old Man” should pipe out! WITH venomous cobra snakes, ,’steen varieties of ants and the like, Rev. A, C. Bowers is privileged, so far as we are concerned, to convert all the heathen in India. We always did prefer home missionary work. THE German Baptist Brethren, or rather the Sangerites, in district session at Johnstown, like other well conducted secret societies, ought to have a suitable emblem. We respectfully suggest cross ed shears and comb. THE politicians and commissioners may not take kindly to Poor Director Hamel’s scheme for the erection of an electric light plant at the Home to sup-ply all the county buildings, but they will likely get in line all right when the taxpayers fully understand the matter. ito THAT HEADACHE is certainly agonizing. But see why yon should keep we don’t _ .on suffering. We have several kinds of headache pow-ders and tablets which we know are excellent. The kind you need depends on whether it’s your stomach or your nerves that caused the trouble. IT IS WISE to keep both kinds in the house.

Bryan rented an armory hall in Chicago and in it Satnrday night last made an address that tells very plainly that he is going to have his say both about the candidate and the planks in the next Democratic national plat form. Here is how he pays his respects to the late work of the nnterritted in the Empire State; “The New York platform is a dishon-est platform, fit only for a dishonest party. No one but an artfnl dodger would stand upon it. The submission Of snch a platform to the voters of a state is an insult to their intelligence, for it is intended to deceive them, and a deliberate attempt to deceive—espe cially so clumsy an attempt as this plat-form is—is a reflection upon the brains of those to whom it is submitted. “This platform proves that the oppo sition to the Kansas City platform is not opposition to silver, bnt opposition to every needed reform and opposition to all that the masses desire.” The Colonel is hardly strong enough to control the St. Louis convention in the'interest of some friend who stood by him four and eight years ago, and yet nothing short of that will apparently keep him in line; while the so-called “Reformers” can expect nothing from him if they ignore his principles and put np one of their own number, as it seems likely they will. The Democrats are hopelessly divided. The split is so big that “Dick” Croker, Tammany’s ex chief, can see it from his new home in England, and calls upon the party to get together for 1908. CZAR’S FIGHTING BLOOD UP. For some time past there has been talk of mediation in the RUSBO-Japanese war founded upon personal desires of King Edward and King Christian of Denmark, to avoid further bloodshed and end the conflict, bnt the step initia-ted has utterly failed. The Czar, with the full concurrence of the imperial family, and his advisers, has firmly decided not only to reject all proposals looking to intervention, but to prosecute the war with all the resources -of the empire until victory crowns the Russian arms, and then, when the time comes for peace, to make terms directly with tbe enemy. The intervention of outside powers will not be tolerated.' There is to be no CONGRESSMAN DALZELD. of Pitts-burg, and Cochran, of New York, had warm tilts the past week in the House owing to the former referring to the report that Bonrke jnmped the Bryan traces in one of the McKinley cam-paigns. But the hot air passed off with-out injury to either principals or spec tators. CONTROLLER BROWN shows wisdom in sticking to his knittin’. DEATHS Of THE WEEK. The Grim Reaper’s Work In Thin Place and Vicinitv. Mrs. Rebecca E. Berger-Gibbs, widow of the late John Gibbs, died at her West Main street home early Tuesday morn-ing of stomach trouble, from which she suffered by spells for the past years. She wae born on August 21, 1829, and was in her 75th year. Her older son, Joseph, passed away in 1892 and her husband one year later, the surviving children being Mrs. Merrett A. King and B. F. Gibbs, who made their home with her. She also leaves three sisters and three brothers, Mrs. Brechbill and Mrs Stahl, of this place; Mrs. Maria Wor-man, of Iowa, and Daniel, Christ and John Berger, of Missouri. Mrs. Gibbs was an ideal Christian wife and mother and, while never very strong physically, possessed a mind that was bright and active even when the loving heart strings broke in death. She had no fear when she went down into the dark val-ley. Leaning upon Him Whom she had so long and faithfully served, she parted from her loved ones here with a smile that may also have been meant for loved ones waiting there, on the other side. Rev. Dr. Lawrence Keister, pastor of the United Brethren church, of which she was a member, conducted the fun-eral services at the house at 2 o’clock this afternoon, the interment following in the cemetery. Daniel Wertz, a pioneer of Dawson, died at his home in that place last Wednesday, aged 78 years. Two daugh-ters, one brother, David, of Mendon, and his sister, Mrs. Mary Hutchinson, of this place, survive. He was one of the California forty-nine gold hunters and a veteran of the Civil war. Alexander Grieve, an old friend of George Parfitt, of this place, died Fri-day at his Westmoreland City home of dropsy, aged 44 years. Friends of Homer C. Hoffman, for-merly of this place, will regret to learn of the death of his young wife which occurred of rheumatism at their Mor-gantown, W. Va., home on April 19th. Mrs. Margaret Love Miller died of the infirmities of age at her Youngwood home Sunday morning last, aged 77 years, the interment taking place at St. John's graveyard yesterday forenoon. With her two brothers, Benjamin and Robert Love, there survive six children, two sons and four daughters—Mrs. Clara Bortz, of Wilkinsburg; Ira and Smith Miller, of Iowa; Mrs. Belle Wine-man, Miss Laura Miller and Mrs. Ella Ruminel, of Youngwood. Imported English Shire Stallion, ELDORADO, (15,093.) (5,077.)

Miss Capitola Mason, of this place, took the teachers' professional certificate examination at Greensburg Saturday, as did also H. S. Martz, of Stauffer, that for a permanent certificate. Miss Brownlee is the new head nurse at the hospital here. She is a graduate of a Belfast, Ireland, institution and was for ten years the head of a Presby-terian hospital in Philadelphia. The box social at Warden’s school house last Thursday evening netted the improvement fund $26.68. The man agement takes this means of thanking the public for generous patronage. A. T. Peterson, the well known local shoeman, has had a serious time the past week or more with gall stones, While his condition is improved, he is still confined to his East Main street home. A shed at the rear of the East End brewery plant was destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon, although the loss was trifling. It is supposed that boys play ing about the place with matches set it on fire. AROUND AND ABOUT. But Principally Within the Bounds of This County. A FULL COLUMN OF GOOD NEWS SECURED FROM THE PAGES OF RE-LIABLE EXCHANGES. The first tented show of the season will make its appearance here on Mon day, May 2nd. Pawnee Bill's Wild West ami Grand Far East has grown to immense proportions since its last visit here. Over ten hundred people and horses are now employed and the inno vations are new and startling. Indians, Cowboys, Cossacks, Chinese, Japanese, Riffen, Arabs, Scouts, Mexicans, Philippine bolo men and soldiers from European armies all go to make up the grandest exhibition ever given. o. The Pike Run Country Club people are being congratulated upon having secured tue services of Harvey J. Shupe of this place, as manager of their Laurel Hill property. He will take charge Monday next.

His office is in the new Andrew block, on the hill. In wiping off the machinery early Wednesday morning, Jacob Hitchman a night fireman at the East End brewery, carelessly laid his left hand within reach of the engine shaft which nipped off the second and third fingers. The annual meeting of Westmoreland Classis will be held at .Yandergrift, beginning Thursday evening, May Rev. W. H. Tussing, of this place, the retiring moderator, will preach the opening sermon. D. B. Fisher is the lay-delegate from this place. The local Methodist Episcopal people will have a nice pipe organ early next month. The instrument is one of those given the Dawson Memorial church by Mrs. Cochran and then presented to the pastor, Rev. Bryson, who in turn gave it to Rev. Smith for his people. John D. Hitchman, of this place, the Republican candidate for Controller recovered his lost Scotch collie dog last evening at Hecla through the kindness of Perry Whitehair, to whose place the animal strayed last Friday. A few lines in THE JOURNAL did the rest. William Rhome, of Central, was sent to jail at Greensburg Tuesday by Jus tice McWilliams to await trial on a charge of assault and battery preferred by his wife. William Conley, of the Acme coke works, settled a similar charge made by his wife the same day. J. M. Langendorf, who formerly re-sided here but is now a jeweler at Mon-ongahela, is the treasurer of the newly organized Cuba Development and Man ufaeturing Company, capital stock $250,000.

There is nothing in the report that the East End plant of the Pittsburg Brewery would, with others outside of the city, be kept running night and day to meet the beer shortage caused in Pittsburg by the ten and fifteen-day shutdowns ordered by the Allegheny county court for alleged violations of the liquor law. Frank Havanish, a Slavish driver in the mines at Buckeye, in attempting to jump on the front of his moving trip after his light had gone out, fell and was run over, his spine being fractured. He was brought to the hospital here where he will likely be operated on to-day, although his chances of recovery are slim. SIlALJLIa 1 David Shaulis is recovering from his recent illness. Miss Carrie Shaulis was working for D. P. Shaulis last week. Six inches of snow on April 20th wasn’t so bad for what is hoped was winter’s last wag of the hammer.

Miss Viola Miller keeps the boys on the jump all right. The surprise party at “The Springs’ was certainly an enjoyable affair and the hostess, Miss Emma Nedrow, and brother Elmer were surprised but great-ly pleased when the guests all arrived. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing quite a variety of very interest ing and amusing games. Excellent music was furnished by Simon Shaulis Elmer Shaulis was out “sparking” again Saturday evening and did not get home until the next morning. It is too bad, Jordan, that you have to go so far now, but we can’t help it. William Miller, while hauling sugar water one day last week, was seriously injured by the team running off and dragging him quite a distance. Quite a number of our people have the mumps. It Wasn’t Carrie. Considerable interest was stirred up Sunday by the report that Carrie Na-tion was at the National Hotel with her hatchet ready to smash a few saloons the next morning. The visitor, how-ever, was Mrs. Ellen E. Eldred, a much quieter temperance worker who was prevented by rain from making a street address Sunday evening. New Laundry Machine. F. S. Dullinger has just added to his Church street steam laundry a steam heated return apron mangle, the latest thing out in his line of business, and in tends to do family washings cheaper than they can be done at home.

How these Articles Appear After They Have been Boiled Down Into Short Paragraphs That Speak to the Point But Briefly of Interesting- Events Transpiring in the Old Star of the West Aloysios Coll, the well-known author and poet of Connellsville, is ill of ap-pendicitis. Dick Deniker, of Ruffsdale, was high gun at last week’s Bradenville shoot held by the gun club there. In the rifle team match at Scottdale Saturday the local club was defeated by Greensburg by 128 inches. The Pennsylvania railroad signals were changed Sunday from red, white and green to yellow and black. There is now talk of the Pennsylvania railroad elevating its tracks through Greensburg instead of building cut offs either north or south of the town. The Pittsburg and Johnstown Tele-phone Company is putting up its poles in Greensburg, Judge McConnell hay ing dissolved the injunction secured by Council. Ananias Wetzel, 24 years old, was killed Saturday night at Somerset by being run over by a Baltimore and Ohio railroad train. His home was at Woyd stock, Va. The argument for a new trial in the case of Mrs. Soffel, who was convicted of attempting to corrupt public morals on the stage, was heard at Uniontown yesterday.

She got the silver, but the bills went up in smoke.

The total loss is given at $25,000. The Pennsylvania railroad engine house at the Southwest junction,Greens-burg, was destroyed by fire Saturday night, causing a loss of $10,000. It is said that the big building caught from the burning cinder dump. W. J. Gathers, of Connellsville, a brakeman on a Baltimore and Ohio freight train, was struck by a project ing timber at Elm Grove Sunday. His skull was so badly crushed that he died before the train reached Wheeling. Charles Emmerich, Jr., of Penn, has just completed a 41-day fast. He is 10 years old, five feet four inches tall and weighs 148 pounds. During this period he took nothing but the juice of three and one half lemons squeezed in water.

Frank Rothermel, a farmer living near Waltz’s Mills, was found dead in the field where he was plowing last Wednesday.

Eight of the Striking Coal Miners and Or-oanizers at Garrett Arrested on That Charge Friday Last. TEMPORARY PEACE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED Sheriff A. J. Coleman, of Somerset county, on Friday last arrested eight of the striking coal miners and organizers at Garrett on the attachments for contempt of court issued by Judge Francis J. Kooser Thursday. He also served bench warrants on 12 others, summoning them to appear in court and show cause why they should not also be adjudged in contempt of court in violating the restrictions of an injunction directed against them on February 9. Those arrested on attachment proceedings were taken before Justice A. J. McKenzie, where they entered bail in the sum of $300 for their appearance in court. Those arrested include Mark Smith, a union organizer, who was found at the depot as he was preparing to take a train, and Howard Williams, president of the Garrett union. James Zelinsky, also an organizer, could not be found. Otlicers searched for William Nehinsky for several hours before they located him after searching his house. The arrests were made without trouble, although the men boldly denoun-ced the action. Judge Kooser’s order in the case states that upon conviction fines will be imposed, but that the men will not be committed to jail except in the default of payment of fine. President Williams said the union was prepared to pay the fines which might be assessed. The Garrett Coal Com-pany’s Hocking plant, where all the trouble occurred, was closed down Friday. Dreadful Attack of Whooping Gough. Mrs. Ellen Harlison, of 800 Park Ave., Kansas City, Mo., writes as follows: “Our two children had a severe attack of whooping cough One of them in the paroxysm of coughing would ofteh faint and bleed at the nose. We tried every-thing we heard of without getting relief. We then celled in our family doctor who prescribed Foley's Honey and Tnr With the very first, dose they began to improve and we feel that it has saved their lives.’' Refuse substitutes. All dealers.

Dr. Wood's Norway PineSyrup What (he German Thought Cf the Fisherman’s Tale AFISHERMAN stopping at the house of u well to do and edu-cated German referred lo the in-ability of the average German to ap-preciate an American joke, yet the American was quick to catch on to any of tlie jokes given out in the l'llegende Blatter and other German comic pub-lications. The German disputed this statement and said, "Germans are just us quick to understand a joke as any-body else.” "Well,” said the fisherman, "here’s oue. We had down in our country a farmer with such big feet that when he went to bed nights he had to go out into the forks of the road and use them for a bootjack to pull oft' his boots." Tlie German never cracked a smile. “I told you so,” said the fisherman. “Vatt a minute, just,” said tlie Ger-man, “so 1 see redder 1 you under-stand correctly. You say dot you know a man vat makes a bootjack al-ready of de forks of de road to pull mit his boots off, he such big feet got?” “Yes," said the fisherman. “Y'ou mean by de forks of de road vere de road one goes dis vny and de odder dat vay, a fork making?” "Yes.” “And he go out dere and his boots he must pull off like a bootjack he use ?" “Yes.” “Yell, I understand, don’t I? Vat?” “Yes.” “Oh, den. dat no joke vas. Dat vas chust a tarn lie.”—Forest and Stream. Clerk Conld Not Skip. Tlie reading of a long appropriation bill in either house of congress is in-variably a most tedious proceeding for members, and equally tiresome for the clerks. Consequently when there is a slim senate or house and a large sec-tion of the bill without any committee amendments It is customary for ex-perienced clerks to skip a few words or paragraphs or even pages here and there to facilitate consideration. Rare-ly is there any objection to this prac-tice, but one of the appropriation bills In the senate this week proved an ex-ception to the rule. “Mr. President,” exclaimed Mr. Ba-con of Georgia suddenly, “I would like to ask where the clerk Is reading. I have been unable to follow the read-ing of the bill!” Tlie clerk announced tlie exact page and line and continued reading. Hard-ly three minutes later a similar inquiry came from Mr. Culberson of Texas, directly next to Mr. Bacon. “.Mr. President,” he exclaimed in a shrill voice, “I am unable to find the place where tlie clerk is now reading, and would like to be'Informed!” The clerk proceeded in his clear, re-sounding voice, and because of the in-terest of so many senators In the text of the bill had to break senate prece-dent and read every word of tlie bill from that time on.—Washington Times- Appropriate. “What, are you doing?” asks the hus band, watching his wife snipping into some goods with her scissors. “Cutting out my spring suit.” He laughs merrily at her. “Good joke op you,” he says. “You have mistaken a map of the war In Manchuria for the pattern.” “It will not make so much differ-ence,” she smiles, putting some more pins in her mouth. “It is to have a Russian blouse effect.”—Judge. Didn’t Think Her Kg.nl to It. An old ludy, who, with her husband, had spent the winter in Japan, was asked by one of her friends if she had heard an earthquake while there. “Yes, I heard ona," she answered, “and rather enjoyed It for It was the first thing that happened since John and I were married that he did not think I was to blame for."—London Ent.Rit*.

There were thoughts in Casey's thinker when it came his turn to hit. Half past five the clock recorded. It was getting time to quit. Casey felt his belt a-loosening—supper time was drawing near. "Let him pass me up a good one, and I’ll end the fun right here.” Raying this, his feet he planted flrmly in the well packed earth. "Though the poet says I strike out, here is where I show my worth.” To the plate the ball came sailing. Casey soused it on the beak. Out it soared toward the palings, leaped the fence and made a sneak, mind the bases Casey sauntered. His home run had won the game And wiped out a stain which long had been disgraceful to his name. -San Francisco Examiner Not the Some. “I understand Politely is working.” "Hull!

[CONTINUED.] The captriln, missing nothing from (he ready welcome, took his accus-tomed place between the sisters and answered the few questions put first by one nnd then by the other with great Impartiality. Then, prompted by some reminiscence, he found himself speedily launched on an ofttold tale. As he meandered sentences the ed by his bulky person, eying other critically nnd paying only an out-ward attention to his prolixity. At that moment each of them felt some j faint regret for the old happy pence which had gone completely from her life. When the captain had finished Ids story nnd found his regard In the glass of mulled wine which his hostess placed at his elbow, that lady In her snavest tones asked for the pleasure of his company at ten on Thursday. And this was Tuesday! “Why, ma’am,” he returned heartily, “I’d like to come first rate, but Judge Hascom’s folks have Invited me to sup-per that night”— “Then Friday,” smiled Miss Corne-lia, though she felt the iron enter her soul. "That’s engaged, too,” laughed the ' captain as heedlessly as n boy. “I’m down for a party at the Lanes'. ’Twill seem queer to be going to a party again, but Mrs. Lane wouldn’t take no for an answer. She said 'twould liven me up to see the young folks dancing and she’d answer for it I hadn’t for-gotten how to cut a pigeon’s wing with the best of ’em. Anyway, she'd lead the Itoger de Coverley with me herself. She wouldn’t let me off on that.” “Saturday!” gasped Miss Cornelia. “Very sorry, ma’am, but I’m going to organ practicing with the Hunters. ( Dear, dear, how time flies! ’Twas only the other day that Cephas Hunter’s little Molly used to toddle over to our house to play with the shells I’d* brought home, and now, bless me, she’s grown to be a woman, with a voice that sings the very heart out of n man! ’Tain’t any wonder they give her first place In the choir. I’d rather hear her sing t!-*in the parson preach, and I think my chances for getting to heav-en would be stronger. Somehow she makes you feel as if you were just out-side the gates of gold. Come now, Miss Cordelia, you’re a judge of mu-sic. Don't you think she gave ‘Rock of Ages’ tine last Sunday?” “Yes,” stammered poor Miss Corde-lia; "very fine.” The captain hummed the hymn soft ly. Ills eyes had a tender, reminiscent glow. Miss Cornelia sat looking on In silence for a few’ moments. Then she gathered herself together for one last effort. “Sister,” she suggested, “suppose you give us some music now. The captain and I will discuss later when he can come to us.” “Well, I do seem, to be in demand,” the visitor chuckled complacently, “and I won’t say I don’t enjoy it. A man gets kind of soured being by himself all the time. If you’ll believe it, ma’am, I haven’t au evening free next week. I don’t know what’s come over Broad-meadows all of a sudden. It's ‘Captain Taylor’ here and 'Captain Taylor’ there. Lord, ma’am, I’m as flustered as a girl^jpg to her iirst party, and— there—tlicsfc I didn’t know I cared so much for pcIJJHe after all.” Miss Cornelia smiled sympathetical-ly, though in that moment, with her quick perception, she saw the complete destruction of her hopes unless she could retrieve them by a master stroke. She turned a remonstrant eye upon Cordelia, who, pale and aghast, was ut-terly defying the voice of authority. “Come, sister,” she said, with au ac-cent of firmness not to be questioned; “some music.” “Yes, Miss Cordelia, some music, some music!” roared the captain. Cordelia rose obediently. She dared not offend either Cornelia or their ( guest. She groped her w’ay to the pl- ' ano and touched the keys softly. There was no light in the room, but she told herself passionately that she did not need any. She had been blind all along. Now she could see. In Cornelia’s hands she was a mere puppet to serve her purposes and then be cast one side. Hadn’t she any feelings to be consid-ered? Didn’t she care? Was It any worse for her to try to win the cap-tain’s affections than for Cornelia or any of the other women In Broadmead-ows? She meant affections, not money or land or house. She did not take material things Into her reckoning for a moment. They had no weight with her. And there was nothing she could do. Even her little feeble piping must Jar upon him when he thought of Molly Hunter’s flutelike voice. Her chilly fingers struck a few random chords. Then a sudden resolution filled her, and she begun to sing. Meanwhile Miss Cornelia brought all her charms to bear upon the man at her side. He leaned toward her, unac-countably flattered. There was no de-nying that she wras a fine woman, a well preserved woman. He did not be-lieve she had her equal in Broadmead ows—for cooking. A comparison he had often made mentally between her and his own careless, crusty house-keeper occurred to him on the mo-ment.

The present suit arose from mandamus proceedings brought by William Miller & Sons to compel the controller to pay an estimate of $K)8. It was a test of the entire amount involved in the contract which, it will be remem-bered, Judge McConnell approved and Judge Doty disapproved. Controller Brown then refused to pay the Iirst bill turned in by Miller & Sons who had Judge McConnell order him to do so. The controller’s appeal to the Superior Court followed.

Miss Cordelia waited at the close of the first verse for the hearty “Brava!1 which the captain, with remarkable catholicity of taste, always accorded to her singing. Then, strangely chilled by its absence, she went on with the song. There was a sudden noise at the door. “For pity’s sake, Cordelia, stop screeching!” a harsh voice cried. “It sots my nerves on edge. If I were you I'd give up such lovesick songs any way. They’re more suitable for that Hunter girl.” The musician’s hands fell with a crash upon the keys. The reverbera-tion almost deafened her, but above ev-erything she was cqpscious of one thought—Cornelia must be very sure of her ground to speak so forcibly be fore their guest. In one minute all the rose colored castles she lmd reared came tumbling about her. There was something wet on her cheek, and she was glad as she brushed it aside that the room was dark. “I’d recommend ’Greenville’ and Federal’ us more In your line,” Cor-nelia continued sharply, “but you needn’t begin practicing now. You'll have plenty of time to learn them be-fore the captain comes again.” “The captain! Where Is the cap-tain?” stammered Cordelia. “1 don't know. I'm not his keeper. He’8 gone. That's the long and short of it He said he’d a headache, (is If any woman would believe that! He was all right and coming on well until you began your disgraceful singing. Then he was driven away.” The voice grew fainter ns the speak-er ascended the stairs, and the last words, with a sharp laugh, floated dowrn through the hall. Then there was the sound of an angrily closed door, and after that a grim silence set-tled like a pall over the house. For a long time Miss Cordelia re-mained motionless, her head drooped forward Into her hands and her brain whirling. The captain’s inexplicable conduct, her sister’s anger, Molly Hun-ter’s voice and the cruel characterize tlon of her own singing were jumbled hopelessly together In her mind. She felt suddenly weak’ and old. All the innocent pride she had taken In her one accomplishment deserted her, and stripped nnd bare as It was, It seemed a pitiable thing. A sob choked her. She would never sing again, not even "Greenville” or “Federal,” and all those other little songs must be put by for-ever. Cornelia had called the singing disgraceful, and—Cornelia was right.

Of course the few hundred dollars lmd to be re-invested several hundred times, and probably not one of the great fortunes was built up except after years of struggle. One prominent manufacturer in the textile line told me recently that from the start lie had spent ids spare change In advertising. "I paid my merchan-dise bills first," he said, "and Invested the surplus, and the surplus only, in advertising. We built up conservative-ly, but the surplus went, and I remem-ber that when I used to eat fifteen cent lunches and economized in every way personally I spent thousands of dollars in advertising.

Mr. William McLaughlin, of No. 542 South Duke street, Lancaster, Pa., says: I first noticed my back give out when I was a let-ter carrier. I was constantly taking cold, and It always settled In my back. I em-ployed a doctor and took numerous kinds of medicine, but they availed me nothing, when on the railroad the work made me worse. The pain was sharp In the small of the back, and at night when In bed It was terrible, and I often had to get up on ac-count of a urinary weakness. I sent my daughter to Hull's drug store and got Doan s Kidney Pills. After using them for three days I felt better.
