THE LOCAL MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM
CARRIED OUT HERE A8 BECOMES THI8
LOYAL OLD TOWN.
The Weather was Ideal and as a Re-sult
There was a Fine Parade with
a Big Crowd in the Cemetery to
Hear Rev. Mr. Rosselot, Colonel
Robbins’ Substitute,Deliver a Splen-did
Address. Features That Made
the Observance of the Day Here
Memorable.
Mount Pleasant observed Memorial
Day as becomes this loyal old town that
has her soldiers who have lallen in all
her country's wars from tlie days of the
Revolution down to the war with Spain,
and Thursday last saw all their graves
strewn with sweetest flowers by sorrow-ing
comrades, to whom the members of
a younger generation were proud to
honor by their presence. The day was
ideal and the attendance, especially in
the cemetery where the exercises were
held, larger than upon any former occa-sion.
The parade was formed at 9:30 a.
m. in front of the Grand Opera House
and moved to the East End and tlience,
by way of Main street and Sand Hill
avenue, in the following order:
Chief Marshal, J. G. Thompson
Aids, Mayor Crosby and Alex Gray
Mount Pleasant Drum Corps
Company E, N. G. P.
Robert Warden Post G. A. R , and other
old soldiers in automobiles
and carriages.
Spanish-American War Veterans.
Mount Pleasant Cornet Band
B. P. O. Elks, No. 868
Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias.
Mount Pleasant Junior Drum Corps
Colonel Edward E. Robbins, who had
been engaged to deliver the memorial
address but was prevented by being one
of the lawyers in the famous Jacob Byers
will case, is a good speaker, and many
were disappointed to learn that he could
not be here; that is, until after they had
heard Rev. F. P. Rosselot, pastor of the
Greensburg First United Brethren church,
and then they were pleased, not that
Colonel Robbins didn't come, but be-cause
he had such an excellent substi-tute.
Rev. Mr. Rosselot began by waving a
little Revolutionary flag and then told
what patriotism had done for this coun-try
in all the wars from that which
forced Mother England to give us free-dom
down to the lale argument at arms
we had with Spain. His voice is clear
and strong and as he spoke of the deeds
of these heroes, those who are still with
us as well as those who have answered
the Great Captain's call, every heart in
the big audience was his.
W. Morgan Smith, of this place, a
member of the Sons of the American
Revolution, got flags from that society
with which to mark the grave of John J.
Hemminger, a Revolutionary war sol-dier,
whose body now lies in the ceme-tery.
He was born May 9, 1758, and died
April 5, 1842, his body being recently
removed from the old Chnrch street
graveyard. Mr. Smith, whose mother’s
grave here will be dedicated next year
by the Greensburg chapter of the Daugh-ters
of the Revolution, is anxious to
learn if there are any Either Revolu-tionary
war soldiers buried in this sec-tion.
Any person having such informa-tion
will confer a favor on him by send-ing
it to this office.
“Uncle” Paul Bossart, of near Pleasant
Unity, who fifty years ago taught “Wes”
Swartz, "Bob" Hitchman and many other
Mount Pleasant boys to play the fife, was
here and blew the leading fife for the
Mount Pleasant Drum Corps all through
the parade despite his fourscore years.
He was the guest of his nephew, John C.
Bossart, and the hale old gentleman said
he had the time of his life with old
Mount Pleasant friends.
The members of Robert Warden Post,
G. A. R., take this means of expressing
their deep sense of gratitude to all those
who in any way helped to make the day
the marked success it was.
Of Interest to Townships.
Two bills of special interest to town-ships
were approved by Gov. Stuart on
last Wednesday. One provides that
townships having a population of 300 to
the square mile shall be townships of
the first class. The other empowers
townships of the first class to establish
local boards of health, one member of
which shall be a physician. These
boards are clothed with power, espe-cially
where contagious or infectious
diseases exist, to establish hospitals.

BROUGHT THE ANSWER.
How Bert Smith and his Band Serenaded
William L. Byers.
As W. L. Byers in contributing to the
Mount Pleasant Cornet Band on numer-ous
occasions had complained to Leader
H. N. Smith that he had never heard
that organization well, Director Herbert
determined to give William the worth
of his money a’ ,*je close of the local
Memorial Day exercises, and he did, too.
Having secured Mrs. Byers's consent,
the bond, drums aifd all, filed right in
on Mr. Byers at his Main street home
and cut loose, Bert’s order being for every
fellow to lay himself out for noise.
Doors, windows, pictures, in fact, every-thing
about the house that wasn’t spiked
rattled and there is a lot of plastering
all but ruined.
William stood the awful din like a
man and as the weary musicians march-ed
out he slipped a five dollar bill into
the waiting hand of “Hermie" who says
he will have the band out again when
“Bill” gets back from the west, expect-ing
a tenner for the welcome home.
The regular November election can
have no terrors for the Westmoreland
voter after his experience at the uniform
primaries on Saturday afternoon last. It
didn’t snow, but it did do everything
else in the way of nasty weather which,
with the new act that is a killer on re-peaters,
made the vote light.
There being no contests in any of the
other three parties except for Demo-cratic
Poor Directors, possibly, Bierer,
Gay and Mullin, the excitement was
confined to the G. O. P. ranks. Hitch-man
for Controller had easy sailing,
just as had Miller for Register of Wills.
Shields got there for Sheriff by defeating
Steel, thanks to the strenuous efforts put
forth in behalf of the New Kensington
SIGN OF THE CROSS.

School Directors Reorganize.
The old Mount Pleasant Board of Ed-ucation
closed up its affairs for the year
and went out of business Monday eve-ning
when the new board organized by
the election of John A. Stevenson presi-dent,
J. Z. Fox secretary and Edward
Hawkins treasurer. Nevin A. Cort and
Avery S. Overholt were appointed a

Sherift Harry Seanor. The 27 Republi-san
candidates for Poor Director had it
nip and tuck, the winners being Wolff,
Armbrust and Dixon.
Republicans had all the fighting to do
over in Fayette county, but they did it
well. They were liberal, too, if reports
are to be accepted in good faith, as it is
said they spent all of $100,000 in the
selection of their nominees. For Judge,
Van Swearingen defeated Reppert by
over 900. For Sheriff, Johns pulled in
ahead of Kisinger by 1,000, while Hen-derson
had 600 over Patterson for Dis-trict
Attorney. Dr. Bell was named for
Coroner and Barnhart and Shaw for Poor

DEATHS OF THE WEEK.
The Grim Reaper’s Work In ThU Place
and Vicinity.
Frances Andrews died suddenly Sun-day
evening at his College avenue home
from a complication of diseases, in his
67th year. He had been feeling unwell
for several days, but was able to go to
the polls in a carriage the day before
and was up and about Sunday morning.
After eating his dinner, however, he be-came
violently ill and grew worse as
the day move on, passing away about 8
o'clock that night. Rev. Howard S.
Wilson, pastor of the United Presbyte-rian
church, ot which Mr. Andrews was
treasurer and a member from young
manhood, conducted the funeral services
at the house yesterday afternoon, the
interment following in the cemetery.
Mr. Andrews was a son of Alexander
and Rachel Andrews, having been born
January 23, 1841, on the old Andrews
homestead in Mount Pleasant township,
some Z'A miles northeast of town, where
he resided until he moved to town in

He was married February 19, 1874, to
Miss Mary E. Reynolds, a daughter of

Four West End People go to Pittsburg for
Pasteur Treatment.
Elmer E. Berg, two of his children and
John Leonard, Jr., all of the West End,
have during the past week taken the
Pasteur treatment in Pittsburg in order
to guard against hydrophobia. Young
Mr. Leonard and one of the Berg chil-dren
were bitten by ahull dog the former
owned. Mr. Berg suffered a cut while
taking off the head of the animal which
died of rabies according fo the report of
the Pittsburg experts who examined the
head. The other Berg child was scratch-ed
by the dog and it was deemed wise
to have it treated also.
It is said the dog bit a number of ca-nines
and there is fear that the disease
was thus scattered far and wide. Mayor
Crosby was appealed to with a view of
establishing a quarantine and he laid
the matter before Council Monday night.
Colonel Coulter’s Staff.
Colonel Richard Coulter, the new com-mander
of the Tenth regiment, who is
preparing to move his headquarters from

JURY SUSTAINS
LAST TESTAMENT
Of JACOB BYERS
After a Long Drawn-out Con-test
by Collateral Heirs.
MARION F. BYERS LEGAL LEGAGEE
AS HIS RICH GRAND UNCLE WAS COM-PETENT
TO MAKE A WILL.
There was, However, Much Conflict-ing
Testimony Taken During the
Famous Trial, to Say Nothing of
the Sensational Statement to the
Effect that “Uncle Jake” Some Time
Before his Natural Death Feared
for his Life at the Hands of Two of
his Nephews. Synopsis of the
Evidence Offered.
The long drawn-out Jacob Byers will
contest case ended in the common pleas
court of this county Monday evening
when the jury found that “Uncle Jake”
was mentally competent to leave his
hundreds of thousands of dollars to his
grand-nephew, Marion Franklin Byers,
despite vigorous claims to the contrary
made by the collateral heirs. Judge
Doty took the question of undue influ-ence
from the jury. Much conflicting
testimony was taken.
It was claimed that for six months
preceding his death “Uncle Jake” had
lived in terror of hired assassins and
that a revolver had been bought for him
by the Rev. C. R. Ferner of Scottdale,
his attorney-in-fact and executor of his
last will. It was also brought out that
he had been told two of his nephews had
endeavored to poison him.
State Senator Elliott Rodgers, of Pitts-burg,
who presided over the equity pro-ceedings
in the Allegheny county courts,
which were instituted to acquire pos-session
of $300,000 worth of Mount
Pleasant Coke Company bonds which
mysteriously disappeared from the safe
deposit vaults of a Greensburg bank,
was on the witness stand a portion of
one day. He testified that in December,
1902, when the case was tried before him
and soon after the making of the will,
old Mr. Byers did not possess testamen-tary
capacity. Other relatives testified
to Byers being weak-minded and child-ish,
while many other witnesses ex-pressed
the opinion that the testator was
fully capable of making a will.
Rev. Ferner told of his meeting Jacob
Byers when lie was pastor of the St.
Johns Reformed church and of their
business and social relations from that
time until Mr. Byers' death in 1905. It
appeared from his testimony that the
woman who furnished the information
that led to the recovery of the bonds in
Pittsburg received as her compensation
the sum of $20,000. The name of the
party who furnished the information
was not divulged by the witness. Noth-ing
new was derived from Mr. Ferner’s
testimony on cross examination except
the fact that he received $10,000 from
the rich farmer dnring his lifetime and
had an arrangement with M. Frank
Byers, the legatee, to receive $40,000 in
addition thereto for his services.
DOG QUARANTINE
Established by Council at its Regular Meet-ing
Monday Evening.
All Mount Pleasapt dogs must either
be penned up or muzzled, otherwise they
will be shot by the police. This is the
substance of the quarantine established
lor the town by Council at its regular
monthly meeting held Monday evening
following the granting of orders to cover
May bills.
Two ordinances relative to the grant-ing
of building permits were passed.
The cost of all such privileges will
hereafter be $5 instead of 25 cents as
heretofore. The laying of new water
tables on Spruce street was held up for
the present although the brick is on the
ground.
Business in police circles was light
during May as Mayor Crosby’s check for
the receipts of his offiee during the past
month was for but $105.55.
N the people living on paved streets
will sweep and pile up the dirt in front
of their properties the first Friday of
each month, the borough will have it
hauled away free of cost.
Dr. Yahn Honored.
Rev. S. G. Yahn left this morning for
Findlay, Ohio, to attend the annual
meeting of the Board of Missions of the
General Bldership, of which he is the
secretary, Findlay College will cele-brate
the twenty-fifth anniversary of its
incorporation dnring this year’s com-mencement,
and Dr. Yahn has been se-lected
to deliver the oration.
THE MOUNT PLEABANT JOURNAL. THURSSDAY, JUNE 6, 1907
CHANGES AT
GREENSBURG
That will be Made by the Pennsylva-nia
Railroad Company with work
Now Under Way.
TRACKS MATED AND TUNNEL TORN DDT,
That the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will follow practically the
same route through Greensburg now in use in the improvement to be made
soon in that section has been detinitely determined by the purchase of the
property immediately over the tunnel owned bv Mrs. George F. Huff.
It is generally understood the main line will use four elevated tracks ad
joining and north of the present twin tracks, which will be used by the South-west.
Confirmation of this is seen in the laying of a dinkey track along the
north side of the railroad from Donahoe to the “Y.”
Now that the railroad has purchased the property over the tunnel it w
be possible to eliminate the tunnel entirely, make an open cut with elevated
through tracks and bridges over Main street and Pennsylvania and Maple
avenues.

Old Philosopher Talks In Zig Zr.g
Fashion In Trying to Explain the
Cause of His Unusual Behavior.
Finally Falls Asleep on the Floor.
[Copyright, 1907, by Homer Sprague.]
Six o’clock had come the other even-ing
and no Mr. Bowser. It is not once
a week that he is a minute over his
time, and Mrs. Bowser began to won-der.
When fifteen minntes more had
passed, she began to get anxious. At
half past 6 even the family cat began
to get restive, and the cook came up-stairs
to say:
“I heard a boom, boom awhile ago,
ma’am. Do yon think it could have
been Mr. Bowser blowing up on a
street car?”
She was told to keep the dinner
warm, and Mrs. Bowser sat down on
the front steps to watch and wait. If
Mr. Bowser was going to be late he
should have telephoned. He carried an
Identification ticket, and if he had met
with any accident she ought to have
HE WALKED TJP TO THE D0G1 AND TURNED
IT OVEK ON ITS BACK.
been notified before that hour. He
had been throwing out mysterious
hints of late as to the profits on keep-ing
a thousand goats and making
cheese, but he would hardly go to look
over a flock after 6 o’clock. He had
had something to say about balloons,
hut it did not seem reasonable that he
would select the evening for making
an ascension. When 7 o’clock hud ar-rived
the cook came up again to say:
“I know what’s happened, ma’am,
the same as if I hau been there with
both eyes wide open.”
Cook Was Wise.
‘‘He has probably been detained on
business. Some one came into the of-fice
Just as he wa? ready to leave for
home,” said Mrs. Bowser.
‘‘It’s weeping I am over his sad fate,
ma’am, lie was invited by some one
to tuke a ride in one o’ them things
called an auto. He jumped in. After
a bit he wanted to do the steering
himself. He took the wheel, and be-fore
they had gone a block that auto
was trying to climb up the wulls of a
fourteen story building. I can shut my
eyes and see it as plain ns day. The
reason they haven't sent you word is
because he was smashed all to a jelly
and they cau't tell whether he’s a hag
o’ menl or a mau. I knew it would
come, ma'am. I’ve been telling you all
along it would come.”
Mrs. Bowser feared the worst, but
wouldn’t admit it, and as a reward
Mr. Bowser hove in sight at 8 o’clock.
He came along down from the car with
an important air, and he waved his
hand to her while yet half a block
away. He was not only in good spir-its,
hut he was a bit hilarious. This
was further shown when he turned in
at the gate. One of the ornaments of
the front yard is a stone dog. He
walk up to the dog and turned it on its
back and slapped his leg in laughter.
“Mr. Bowser, what does this mean?”
aUe demanded as he came UD the steus.
“Come in ’er house, and I’ll tell you
all about it,” he said as he passed in.
It was a cold, deadly fact that he
was “sprung.” His looks, his gait, his
actions all showed it. It was the first
time since he had joined the Gay Old
Boys’ club, months before.
“How dare you, sir—how dare you
come home in this condition?” she ask
cd as she followed him in and stood
before him as he sat down in a rocking
rhair.
“Hole on, Mrsh. Bowsher—hole on
Ininit,” he replied. “You speak ’bout
my coudislnm. Does it slieem to you
as if I had taken n glass too much’
“A barrel too much, Mr. Bowser.
You are certainly intoxicated. Think
of a man of your age and standing
coming home in this condition!”
“All wrong, Mrsh. Bowsher—all
wrong. No condlshun here. I am as
shober as a Judge on ’er bench. Sit
down and let me tell you all about it,
Thas right—sit down. Never like to
shoe a lady stand lip on a street car.
Always willin’ to give up my sheet to
her.”
"Very well. Now, go anead, sir, and
explain matters.”
Begins to Explain.
“It was zhis way, Mrsh. Bowsher. 1
was lockin’ up office door to come home
when Brown came along. You know
Brown—man with cock eye and red
hair. Brown’s good feller—good feller.
He borrows money of me and don’t
pay it back, hut lie’s a good feller for
all zhat”
“Never mind about Brown.”
“I have to, ’cause he’s good feller
you kuow. Well, Brown says the gov
ernor is over to the Gay house and
wants to see me—wants to see Samuel
Bowsher—wants to meet great man.
Nothing wrong about that, eh? All ’er
great men in ’er country like to meet
me, don’t they?”
“Go on,” said Mrs. BoWser.
“I didn’t want to go. I’d rather
come home and meet you. I knew
you'd worry if I didn’t come home at
shix o’clock. Brown’s a good feller,
and the governor’s good feller, but you
are better feller. Shake hands, Mrsh.
Bowsher.”
“Never you mind about shaking
hands. Did you go to see the govern-or?”
“Yesh. Had to do it. Brown said it
would hurt his feelings if I didn’t do it.
Yosh, went to shee ’er governor. You
can’t think how glad lie was. Skaid
he’d been wanting to shee me for 400
years. Shook hands. Patted me on
the hack. Almost kissed me. Mighty
good feller—mighty good feller.”
“Well?”
“Well, we shat down. Mebbe I shat
on governor’s knee—maybe he shat on
mine. We talked. Never talked slio
much in my life. He told me funny
stories, and I told him 'er same. Shay,
but you orter heard us laughin’. Never
laughed so much in a hundred years!
Governor laughed Just 'er shame.”
“And was he also intoxicated?”
asked Mrs. Bowser.
“Intox’cated? Whazzer mean? No-body
was intox’cated. It was just hi-larity.
Do you think ’er governor of
zhis great state would get intox’cated?
Do you think Samuel Bowsher, your
husbuud, would get intox’cated? Shake
hands wiz me, Mrsh. Bowsher, and tell
me you don’t think so.”
“But you had something to drink?”
“Course we had. Can’t go to shee ’er
governor and not have something to
drink. After we first shook hands 1
asked him what he’d take. He shaid
a glass of buttermilk wiz a cinder in it,
and I said I’d take ’er shame.”
“What do you mean by a cinder?”
“Dunno. Zhat's what ’er boys call
it. Makes you laugh. If your mother
was dead and you drank glass of but-termilk
wiz cinder in it, you’d laugh
and kick up your heels. Thas all we
had, Mrsh. Bowsher—buttermilk and
cinders. Shake hands and tell me zhat
you love me.”
“Never! Mr. Bowser, you have dis-graced
us. Even the cat is ashamed of
you.”
“Don’t talk zhat way, Mrsh. Bowsher
—don’t do it. Can’t ’er feller go and
shee 'er governor without disgracing
his wife and cat? Course he can.
Shay, you just orter heard my speech.
Governor wouldn’t let me off wizout
cite. Shaid he was Just dyin’ to hear
old Cicero. Zhat’s what he called me—
old Cicero. I am a shy mau, Mrsh.
Bowsher, but after awhile I stood up
like zhis and held out my arm like
zhis, and”—
*nd Mr. Bowser sat down on the
floor and winked and blinked in an
owly way as Mrs. Bowser looked at
him. After a couple of minutes he
went on:
Offers His Hand.
“I stood up like zhis and made 'er
speech. You orter heard zhat speech.
It lnsted an hour. It made 'er govern-or
laugh, aud it made hlmv cry. It
will all be in ’er papers in ’er morning,
and I want to cut it out and paste it
in a scrapbook. You could hear 'er
governor laugh all over town, and
when he cried the tears just rolled
dowu his cheeks In streams. You ain’t
mad, are you? You feel proud of your
husband, don’t you? Mrsh. Bowsher,
shake hands and tell me zhat you are
proud of your husband.”
Mrs. Bowser sat stiffly aud hadn't a
word to say.
“Zhen ’er gov'nor made a speech,”
resumed the man on the floor in a
sleepy voice. “Yesh, he made speech,
but nozzings like my speech. No
lavfehln’, no weepin’—Just common
speech 'bout ’er Pnnnmnw canal.
Zhon we kissed each other, and I came
home to tell you nil ’bout it—a-1-1 ’bout
it. Mrsh. Bowsher, shake hands and—
and shake hands and”—
And Mr. Bowser gradually stretched
himself out on the floor and was lost
in slumber.
“Has he perished, ma’am?” asked the
cook in a whisper as she came up-stairs.
“We will lock up the house and turn
out the gas aud go to bed,” was the
reply.
And ten minutes later Mr. Bowser
and “ ’er gov’nor” and the cat and the
whippoorwills and the summer breezes
were left alone in the darkness.

How f chlnery Pays for Itself.
It is estimated by the department of
agriculture that last year’s crop was
produced and garnered at a saving of
$687r ), ’) over what would have
been the co t of raising an equal crop
50 years ago. This saving was ac-complished
by the use of modern ag
ricultural implements.—Farm Ma-chinery.
Direct Light Cheapest.
Reflected light is wasteful. In a
recent test by Dr. Reibmayr both elec-tric
glow lamps and incandescent gas
burners were used, and when the light
waB directed to the ceiling and reflect-ed
the ilium lation was 31 per cent,
less than when directed downward
from close to the ceiling.
Brick House Most Lasting.
A stone house is not so durable as
one of brick. A bric^ house, well con
structed, will outlast one built
granite.
Lots of men, in buying clothes, are not
half particular enough about quality; they’ll buy
almost anything that looks stylish, and fits; espe-cially
if the price is low.
We hope
right way
It’s the wrong way to buy clothes,
you don’t buy yours that way. The
is to be sure first of the quality you’re getting.
“Is it all wool? Is it well tailored?” A price
means nothing unless you know what you’re get-ting
for it.
In this store we want you to know what
you’re getting for your money; we’re not afraid to
tell you, either. Ask if the goods are all wool;
ask if they’re tailored right; ask about style, wear;
try the clothes on.
But it you see the Hart, Schaffner & Marx
label in the clothes, just consider it an answer to
your questions; all-wool; clean, honest tailoring;
correct style, best wear. The price will be right.

The Sharpless Tubular
The Tubular is the cleanest skimming, most durable,
easiest to wash separator made. The waist low can saves
your back—the enclosed gears can’t pinch your tingers—
the self oiling device saves time, uses the oil over and over
and prevents dripping on machine or floor. The Tubular
skimmed 2t to 9 times cleaner than any other in a National Clean
Skimming Contest.
The Tubular is a money-maker and a labor saver—it in-creases
the butter money 25 to 100 per cent, and lessens the
work of handling milk about one-half. Bring your wife in
to see it. She’ll say it is the easiest to wash. Let me give
you a catalogue with a lot of good things in it.

SUPPLYISFOR PITTSBURG'S CONSUMPTION
The Philadelphia Gas Company has just brought in a big gas well on
le farm of Henry Coy, Washington township, this county, which adjoins
he R. R. McQuilken farm where the first well of the company was struck in
the lower sands. Thus far the drillers have been unable to control the flow of
gas on the Coy farm, and the roar of the escaping gas can be heard for miles.
In bringing in the well on the McKown farm the drillers lost their tools.
Tackle has been brought from Pittsburg and the tools will be extricated from
the well. Both wells will furnish a big supply of gas for Pittsburg consumers.

Miss Sadie, who is fifteen, opened her

bedchamber. They had lighted the gas.
"Now, don’t make a noise,” whisper-ed
the man at her bed. “We are not

Miss Sadie, thoroughly awake, her
fine eyes staring, opened her mouth to

lapse, some time ago Joe Evans as-cended
the gallows to pay the penalty
for having attacked the wife of his
brother and then killing the brother
when the crime was discovered.
Evans was the first man to be hang-ed
in Greenwood county, and it was
the first execution in which Sheriff Mc-
Caslln had ever taken part. lie had
dreaded the idea of hanging the negro,
and Immediately after the murderer
was pronounced dead he went to his
bed and never left it.
The horror of taking human life,
even though it was in legal form, Beein-ed

to such an extent that the doctors
could give no relief to his suffering

INCASED IN LICORICE.
Man Falls Into Boiling Fluid and
Comes Put With a Shell.
While at work over a tub of boiling
licorice at Abiugton avenue and T liirU
street, Newark, N. J., John Eujeck,
aged eighteen years, fainted and tell
partly into the huge caldron. Hyv'as
lifted out by means of a bucki. at-tached
to a crane terribly burned and
unconscious.
While waiting for the ambulance his
fellow workmen held Enjeck under a
stream of cold water, thinking they
could wash off the sticky, scalding
fluid. But the water only served to
harden the licorice so that it literally
incased the suffering man In a shell.
Then they tried to pick off the shell,
but each piece brought the skin with
it. At the hospital a chemical solu-tion
was used to dissolve the licorice.
It was said the young man might re-cover.
REVIVED AFTER HANGING.
Condemned Negro Now Free, and the
Law Can’t Touch Him.
Reports received at Fort Worth, Tex.,
from trainmen and passengers on the
Southern Pacific state that John Arm-strong,
a negro hanged at Columbus,
Tex., Friday, April 19, for wife mur-der,
revived after being placed in the
coffin and when given to his brother at
Sealey for burial was given medical
attention.
It is declared that Armstrong is now
living and that friends and relatives
are keeping the matter quiet, fearing
the state will again step in.
If Armstrong is living he will be the
only living man who has paid rhe death
penalty. The fact that he was pro-nounced
dend at the hanging renders
the state powerless to again enforce
the death penalty.

Charles Colon, a druggist, Sadie’s cous-in,

One held u dagger at Colen’s throat:
the other took a belt and Buspenders
from Colen’s trousers, tied his ankles
with tlie suspenders, bound his arms
to his sides with the belt, gagged him
and rifled his pockets.
Hut the gag was not fast. Colen
found his voice and yelled. Sadie
picked up courage to scream. Her fa-ther,
Morris, awakened nnd ran into
her room. The burglar threw her from
him, jumped to his feet and fired at
Serotta, who fell with a bullet In his
arm.
"That wasn’t a nice way to behave,”
said the burglar reproachfully to Sa-die,
as he jumped over the prostrate
father and ran after his fleeing com-panions.
“Didn’t I tell you I wouldn’t
harm you?”
The three got clean away with their
booty. Serotta’s wound is more pain-ful
than serious. He is a thriving

James Harvey Mullins of Hartford
City, Ind., and a divorce has been
granted the husband because his wife
persisted in taking the animal to bed
with her. The plaintiff alleged that he
would not have objected so much if the
cat had stayed on her mistress’ side of
the bed Instead of playing with his
feet and causing him to spend many
restless nights. Mullins testified that
he stood the torture ns long as possi-ble.
Then he captured pussy nnd took
her to the river and drowned her. His
wife, he says, became furious upon
learning of the loss of her pet and was
truel and inhuman toward him. Final-ly
they agreed to disagree and divided
their furniture.

THE DOG QUARANTINE.
The mad dog trouble has been brought
home to Mount Pleasant; four victims
have had to .go to Pittsburg for the ex-pensive
Pasteur treatment, and Council
has very ^wisely ordered a quarantine,
directing the police to kill all unmuz-zled
dogs running at large within the
borough limits. Owners who prize their
dogs will promptly see that their pets
are afforded proper legal protection; for,
a richly merited death awaits all un-muzzled
canines running at large.
It is also well to remember at this
time the havoc one First ward bull dog
caused before he died of the terrible
disease. He had four human victims
and single admission to the Pasteur In-stitute
costs $125. Then there is grave
danger of other dogs bitten by the Leon-ard
dog going mad and thus multiply-ing
the number of victims, human as
well as brute, many times.
Have some fellow feeling for the po-lice,
too. They have no desire to incur
your enmity by shooting your dog,
should they catch him without a muz-zle.
It is their duty to do so, and every
right-minded citizen trusts that they will
carry out their orders to the letter.
LONGER LIFE PROMISED.
Chief Chemist Wiley, of the United
States Dapartment of Agriculture, in the
course of an address, delivered before
the graduating class of Case School of
Applied Science at Cleveland, Ohio, last
Wednesday, said:
“I belong to a hundred-year club, any
member of which who shall die before
he’s a hundred years old will be imme-diately
expelled in disgrace. The present
generation is going to live much longer
than the one which came before, because
it knows more about the laws of diet,
hygiene and surgery.”
Mr. Wiley holds that it is a rank dis-grace
for any member to die except of
old age, and is doubtless right when he
says that in view of longevity, if noth-ing
more, a man should not think that
he is taking too much time in prepara-tion
for his life work if he should spend
a score or more years iust in schooling.
advanced ground than did Secretary of
State Root, who announced at the Penn-sylvania
Society dinner in New York
last December that if the States fail to ►
exercise their power of control then the
National Government will be vested with
the power.
Mr. Roosevelt advocates the placing of
railroads in the same position as that
now occupied by national banks, super-vising
the issuance of all railroad stocks
in the future. When the privilege en-joyed
by the railroads are given fair
consideration, there remains no good
reason why some such government su-pervision
as the President stands for
should not follow as the natural conse-quence.
We’re Free Now.

A Chicago paper describes the people
of Pennsylvania as “the obedient serfs
of railroad magnates.” Chicago's stand-ard
of purity and patriotism, of course,
entitles it to throw stones.

It is now evident that professions of

Both Big Fellows.
Somerset Democrat.
John L. Sullivan, the ex-cliampion
prize fighter, picks out Taft as the win-ner
in the fight for the Republican nom-ination
for President. If the choice de-pended
upon the question of avoirdu-pois,
Sullivan would win himself, for he
weighs three hundred and thirty pounds,
and Taft only two hundred and eighty.
A GOOD BEGINNING.
Convicted on 33 counts for making al-leged
false entries in books of the En-terprise
National Bank of Allegheny,
Thomas W. Harvey, former teller of the
institution, faces a maximum penalty of
330 years in prison, 10 years on each
count. The minimum penalty, if every
count is included in the sentence, will be
165 years. It will be possible, however,
to give him five years on one count, the
minimum penalty, and suspend sentence
with respect to the others.
This was the first criminal case tried
in the Allegheny county criminal court
in connection with the failure of the En-terprise
bank for over $2,000,000. Sev-eral
other criminal trials will follow and
75 civil suits have been started by
Thomas Rinaker, receiver of the defunct
institution. And no matter what the
sentence of ex-Teller Harvey may be,
his conviction is a good start on the road
to punishment for a lot of mighty crook-ed
bank officials,
RAILROAD REGULATION.
President Roosevelt's views on rail-road
regulation were clearly set forth by
him at Indianapolis, Indiana, on Memo-rial
Day in the course of his address in-cidental
to the unveiling of the statue
to General Henry W. Lawton.
In opening his speech the President
paid a glowing tribute to the patriotism
of soldiers who have died for their
country. This done, he launched boldly
on the railroad question and when he
had concluded there remained in the
minds of his hearers no doubts as to the
President’s position. He stands firmly
on what has been d^ne by his adminis-tration
and marks out further advance.
The President took a very much more

Charleroi Citizens Begin Injunction
Proceedings Against West Penn
Electric Company.
THE NEW PLANT IS LOMIH THAT TOWN.
L)r. James B. Barth and Della F. Campbell, of Charleroi, have begun
injunction proceedings against the West Penn Electric Company to restrain it
from operating its plant at the corner of Washington avenue and Sixth street,
in that town, on the ground that the noise and vibration in a thickly popu-lated
residence district are a nuisance.
The company recently decided to remove its power house at Speers, op-posite
Bellevernon, and had equipped the one at Charleroi it is now desired to
put out of business, adding much new machinery. This will be used for sup-plying
current in the towns in the Upper Monongahela Valley supplied with
electric current by the West Penn. The reason for the removal was to get
on ground not overflowed in high water. Ultimately there will be a complete
circuit in connection with the big power station at New Haven, traversing the
Youghiogheny and Monongahela Valleys.

CHAPTER IX.
N Friday evening, March 10, n
thunderstorm of unusual vio-lence
broke over London. It
was notably peculiar In cer-tain
of its aspects. The weather was
cold and showery, a typical day of the
March equinox. Under such conditions
barometric pressure remains fixed rath-er
than variable, yet many whose busi-ness
or hobby it Is to record such facts
observed a rapid slirlukage of the mer-cury
column between the hours of 0
and 7. A deluge of rain fell for many
minutes aud was followed about 7:30
p. m. by a mnd turmoil of thunder and
an asioundTng electrical display not
often witnessed beyond the coniines of
the giant mountnln ranges of the world.
So violent and unnerving was the
outburst that the soeinl life of Lou-don
wns paralyzed for the hour. Tlie-nter
parties, diners In the fushlonnble
restaurants, the greater millions anx-ious
to get away from odices and shops,
those enger nllke to enter and leave
the charmed circle of the four mile ra-dius,
were ruthlessly bidden to wait
while the awesome forces of nature
made mnd racket In the streets. All
horseflesh wns afraid. The drivers of
cabs and omnibuses were unable to
make progress. They had suiliclent
ado to restrain their maddened ani-mals
from adding the lmvoc of blind
charges through the streets to the gen-eral
confusion caused by the warring
elements. Telegraph and telephone
W'ires became not only useless, but
dangerous, and the suburban train
service wns consequently plunged into
a tangle from which it was not extri-cated
until midnight.
So general was the confusion, so
widespread the public alarm, that the
sudden cessation of the uproar at
8 o’clock caused more prayers of thank-fulness
to be uttered In the metropolis
A boy ran forward to offer his services
at the carriage door.
than had been heard for mrihy a day.
But worse remained. Thus far the
lightning had been appalling, brilliant-ly
lurid, but harmless. At 10 o’clock
the storm raged again, this time with-out
the preliminary downfnll of rain,
and the lightning, though less sen-sational
In appearance, was demoniac
in effect, levying a toll on human lives,
causing fires and general damage to
property, accounts of which filled
many columns of the newspapers next
morning. This second outburst was
succeeded by heavy and continuous
rain. At the hour when the theaters
emptied their diminishing audiences
into the streets London wore its nor-mal
rain sodden aspect It was not
until the following day that people
fully understood the magnitude and
terrifying results of the later display.
About a quarter to 8, while the first
storm was at its height, a carriage and
pair dashed into a fashionable West
End square aud pulled up outside a
mansion cast in the stereotyped mold
of the early Victorian period. The
horses, overfed and underworked, had
been rendered frantic by the drive
through the park from the farther
west. Fortunately, they knew this
halting place, or. the coachman would
never have succeeded in stopping
them. As it was, they sweated white
with fear, and the footman, shouting
to the occupants of the carriage that
he could not attend to the door, ran
to their heads after giving a vigorous
■tug at the house bell,
A boy, tall and thin, and scantily at-tired
for such weather, who had taken
shelter in the dark portico of the man-sion,
ran forward to offer his services
at the carriage door. A bundle of
evening papers, covered with a piece
of sacking, somewhat Impeded the use
of his left hand, and, as it happened,
in his right he held a large bun on
which he had just commenced to dine.
Before he could turn the handle the
carriage door opened from the Inside.
A man sprang out.
“Get out of the way,” lie said im-patiently,
and the newsboy obeyed,
glad that he had not followed his first
impulse and flung away the bun.
A vivid flash df lightning made the
horses rear and plunge.
“Look sharp, Elf!” cried the stranger
In no more eqrdial tone. "Gather your
wraps and Jump out. On a night like
this these nervous brutes”—
A peal of thunder that rattled the
windows Interrupted him. The two
animals reared and backed with oile
accord. The plucky footman, hanging
on to the crossbars of the lilts, was
lifted off his feet and banged violently
against the pole. lie was forced to let
go and fell, staggering backward some
yards before lie dropped. There was
a smash of iron and wood, and the
near hind wheel of the carriage jam-med
against the curb. A slight scream
came from the interior. Certain that
the vehicle would turn over instantly,
the man who had alighted slammed the
door and sprang clear. In doing so he
tripped over the newsboy and fell
heavily on the pavement. The boy,
quicker to note that the breaking of
the pole had given a momentary res-pite,
rushed into the roadway, throw-ing
away both precious bun and still
more precious stock of unsold pnpers.
He wrenched the other door open
and shouted:
“This way, madam. Quick!”
“Madam” was quick. She sprang
right into his arms and proved to be a
girl of twelve or thereabouts, dressed
all In white and wrapped hi an ermine
clonk.
Over went the carriage with a fear-ful
crash. The coachman managed to
jump from the box into the roadway.
He retained the reins and whip in his
grasp and now, losing his temper, lash-ed
the struggling horses savagely. This
cowed them, and they ceased their an-tics.
The boy and the girl found them-selves
standing on the sidewalk close
to the ruined vehicle.
“You have saved my life!” said the
girl sweetly and without any trace of
the nervousness which might naturally
be expected after such a narrow escape
from a serious accident.
The boy noted that her eyes were
large and blue, that she wore a great
shining ornament In her hair and that
she appeared to be dressed In some-what
fanciful manner, though the big
clonk she wore concealed the details.
The door of the mansion opened, and
servants came running out.
Suddenly the boy received a violent
blow on tlie side of the head.
“Confound yon!” shouted the man
who had fallen on the pavement, "why
didn’t you get out of the way when I
told you?”
The boy, nstounded by such recog-nition
of his timely help, made no re-ply,
but the girl protested vehemently.
“Oh, uncle,” she cried, “why did you
strike him? He got 1110 out of the
carriage just before it turned over.
He did, indeed!”
Another vivid flash of lightning Il-lumined
the scene. It lit up the group
with startling brilliancy. The boy,
still somewhat shaken by the vicious
blow, was nevertheless aide to see
clearly the pale, handsome, but dissi-pated
features of his enraged assail-ant.
whose evening dress and Immacu-late
linen were soiled by the black
mud of the pavement. The girl, dainty
and fairy like, a little maid of aristo-cratic
type, and of a beauty that prom-ised
much in later years, was distress-ed
now and almost tearful.
Through the crowd of frightened
servnnts, augmented by n few daring
pedestrians, a burly policeman, gi-gantic
in waterproof overalls, was ad-vancing
with ofticlnl bluster.
“What has happened?” he demand-ed.
“Is anybody hurt?”
The man answered:
“My horses were startled by the
storm. I jumped out and wns en-deavoring
to extricate my niece when
this wretched boy got in the wTay.”
“Uncle,” protested the girl, “you
closed the door on me, and the boy”—
“Shut up!” he growled curtly. “Go
inside the house!”
But his niece shared with him at
least one characteristic. She possessed
the family temper.
“I will not go away and let you say
things which are not true. Listen to
me, Mr. Policeman. Lord A'anstone
did close the door because he thought
the carriage would turn over on top of
him. For some reason the accident
did not happen Immediately, and the
boy ran round to the other side and
helped me out just in time.”
“Confound the brat! I think he was
the real cause of the whole affair.
Why was he hiding in my doorway?”
Lord Vanstone was more enraged
than ever by the girl’s obstinate de-fense
of her rescuer and her insistence
on his own seeming cowardice.
“I was not hiding. I only took shel-ter
from the storm. I tried to help you
because the footman was struggling
with the horses. I do not claim any
credit for simply opening a door and
helping the young lady to alight, but
I lost both my dinner and my papers
in doing so.”
Every one experienced a shock of
surprise at hearing the boy's elegant
diction. The policeman was puzzled.
He instantly understood the facts, but
dared not browbeat an earl.
“You do not bring any charge against
him. my lord?” he said.
But his lordship deigned no reply.
He told the coachman to arrange for
THEY MUST
SETTLE UP.
State Supreme Court Decisions That
Mean Vast Sum for Policy Hold-ers
in Fayette County.
THE VERDICTS OF LOWIB COURT AFFIRMED.
Decisions of the State Supreme Court on Tuesday last hand a hard blow
to some insurance companies doing business in Fayette county and direct that
they turn over about $137 500 to policy holders there. The Broad Ford in-surance
cases against about 31 companies, resulting in verdicts in the local
courts aggregating $99 284, were affirmed.
In the cases of D. J. Johnson against insurance companies for policies
on the Exchange hotel, Uniontown, the decisions are all in favor of the policy
holders and aggregate about $37,500.
The cases of H. C. Frick and others, known as A. Overholt & Com-pany,
grew out of the burning of the Broad Ford distillery in 1905, when
more than 14,000 barrels of whiskey were destroyed. Suits were originally
entered on 60 policies, representing 31 companies, for a total of $167,000.
Nineteen cases were settled before reaching the jury and in the remaining 41
verdicts were returned tor the plaintiffs.
removal of the carriage, grasped
Ills niece by tlie arm and led ber, still
protesting, Into the bouse.
The policeman saw the bundle of
papers scattered over the roadway and
near them the partly eaten bun. After
a wrench at his garments he produced
a penny.
“Here,” he said to the boy. “Buy
another bun and be off. It’s a good
job for yon the young lady spoke up
the way she did.”
“She merely told the truth. That
man wns a liar.”
Refusing the proffered penny, the
lv>y turned on his heel. The policeman
looked after him.
“That’s a queer kid,” he thought.
“Talked like q regular young gent. I
wonder why he is selling papers. Poor
lad! He lost a bob’s worth at least,
and small thanks he got for it.”
Passing out of the square by the
first eastward street, Philip Anson,
witli his head erect and hands clinched
in bis pockets, strode onward at a
rapid pace. The lightning wns less
frequent now, nnd the thunder was
dying away in sullen rumblings. He
was -wet nnd hungry, yet, although he
had throe halfpence, the remaining
balance of the only sales effected that
evening, he passed many shops where
he could have bought food.
In Piccadilly, where the cessation of
the storm created a rush of traffic, he
was nenrl.v run over by reason of his
own carelessness and received a slash
from a whip, accompanied by a loud
oath from an angry cabman. He shiv-ered,
but never even looked around.
Crossing Trafalgar square, he plunged
through the vortex of vehicles without
troubling to avoid them in the slight-est
degree. Once the hot breath of a
pair of van horses touched his cheek
while a speechless driver pulled them
bnck onto their haunches. Again, the
off wheel of an omnibus actually grazed
his heel as he sped behind the statue
of Charles I.
At last he reached the comparative
seclusion of the Embankment and
stood for a moment to gaze fixedly
at the swirling, glinting river.
“Not here,” he muttered aloud. “I
must be nearer to mother—dear old
mother! She is there waiting for me.”
He trudged steadily away through
Queen Victoria street, Cornhill, I.ead-enhall
street, and so on to Johnson’s
Mews, in the Mile End road. Pausing
at a marine store dealer’s shop kept
by an army pensioner, an Irishman,
with whom he had a slight acquaint-ance,
he entered. An elderly man was
laboriously reading a paper of the pre-ceding
day’s date.
“Good evening, Mr. O'Brien,” he
said. “Can you oblige me with a
piece of rope? I want a strong piece
about three or four yards in length.
I enn only spare three halfpence.”
“Falx, I dunno. They use nails on
the crates mostly nowadays. If I have
a bit it’s at yer sarvice. I wouldn’t bo
nfther chargin’ the likes o’ you.”
Philip’s story was known in that
humble locality, and the old soldier
sympathized with the boy. “He has
rale spunk an’ no mistake,” was his
verdict when others said Philip was
proud and overbearing. O'Brien mov-ed
rheumatically about the squalid
shop. At last he found some portion
of a clothesline. .
“Will that do?” he inquired.
Philip tasted it with vigorous pull-ing
against his knee.
“Excellently,” he said. “Let me pay
you for it.”
“Arrah, go awny wid ye! And, be
the powers, isn’t the poor lad cowld
an’ famished? Luke here, now. In
five minutes I’m goin’ to have a cup
o’ tny.”
“I am awfully obliged to you, but 1
could not touch a morsel. I am in a
hurry.”
“Are ye goin’ a journey? Have ye
got a job?”
“I think so. It looks like a perma-nency.
Goodby.”
“Goodby, an’ good luck to ye. Sure
the boy looks mighty quare. ’Tis grief
for his mother has turned his head en-tirely.”
No words could more clearly express
Philip’s condition than this friendly
summing up. Since his mother’s burial
he had been half demented. Ilis curt,
disconnected answers had lost him two
places as an errand boy, which he
could easily have secured. H1B small
stock of money, ridiculously depleted
by the generosity with which lie met
the open hints of the undertaker’s as-sistants,
barely sufficed to keep him in
fowl for a week. Then he sought em-ployment,
but with such stiff upper lip
and haughty Indifference to success
that he unknowingly turned those
against him who would have assisted
him.

The wage earner, of Greater Pittlburg are paid $300,000,000.00 eaeh year—
This amount in silver dollars piled one upon the other would build a 50-
story sky-scraper. No other district on earth can make such a showing.
No other district offers such golden opportunities. The man with a few
dollars has the same chance here as the man with thousands.

Arlington Park adjoins WilmerdTng—the home of Westinghouse industries
where realty has paid as much as 5000%.
Two new plants are being constructed—the $10,000,000.00 addition to the
National Tube Co., McKeesport, and the new addition to the Westinghouse
Air Brake plant at Wilmerding.
These plants will employ at least 9,000 more people—they will need homes
—Arlington Park is the only available place for them.
Arlington Park is on the belt car line. Another new line will pass right
through it.
It doesn't require much figuring to see what an opportunity is offered here
for the investor or builder.
Those who act quick will get the best lots.
Remember, every lot in Arlington Park averages one acre—10 to 15 city
lots—that every city convenience is at hand.
You can secure a lot by mail or wire. Illustrated folder free—tells all

SHORT TALKS BY
L. T. COOPER.
CHRONIC CRANKS.
MR. J. R. SMOCE.
We nil have mot people who are con-tinually
kicking. Lite seems a terrible
thing to them. They
seldom smile.'
Something dreadful
is going to happen,
nothing is ever just
right, and (hey
worry and fret and
complain from
morning till night.
Their trouble
seerns to be just a
bad disposition but
this is seldom so.
In most cases there
is ono of two things
the matter with
them; either their
nerves or their digestion is responsible.
Both come from the same thing—stomach
trouble. A men or woman whose nerves
are tied in knots is bound to be mighty
poor company. The same thing is true if
what they eat don’t digest properly. No
wonder they grumble, I don’t blame them.
1 have seen Cooper’s New Discovery
change the whole disposition of people in
a month’s time simply by getting their
stomach in shape again. Even the ex-pression
on their faces was altogether
different. The worried, tired, fretful look
changed to a peaceful happy expression,
and the lines ofcare disappeared altogether.
Many people tell me about this in letters.
They seem to think it a miracle. Itis’at.
It’s just the stomach working again.
Here’s a oase of thia kind:
“I •differed with my stomach for thirteen
years. Nothing I ate seemed to digest. I
also had chronic constipation, and was
tired, dull, irritable and despondent all
the time. I found it difficult to attend to
my duties as trac’ion agent at this place.’’
‘‘Six different doctors treated me and
ail gave different opinions.”
‘‘I began taking Cooper’s New Discov-ery,
and to my surprise it helped me from
the first. I have gained ten pounds in
three weeks and am feeling fine. My
work now is a pleasure, where before it
was drudgery.” J. R. Smock, Cicero,
Indiana.
