INTERESTING
CIVIL SUIT
HI SOMERSET
/in which Mount Pleasant Peo-ple
are the Plaintiffs.
APPEAL FROM REPORT OF VIEWERS
TAKEN BY HEIRS OF THE LATE WILL-IAM
J. HITCHMAN.
Some of Their Property up at Mar-kleton
was Taken by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company When
Straightening its Tracks at That
Mountain Resort and, Not Being
Satisfied With the Amount the
Viewers Allowed, They Took the
Award Back Into Court.
An interesting civil suit, in which the
plaintifls are well known Mount Pleas-ant
people, is on this week in the Som-»
erset county court, being an appeal from
a report of viewers taken by the heirs
of the late William J. Hitchman.
Several years ago, in straightening its
tracks at Markleton, the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company took from this
estate a store building and residence on
the bank of the Casselman river and,
not being able to agree on the amount of
damages to be allowed the owners, the
Somerset court appointed viewers who
held the company responsible in the
sum ol $3,800. The Hitchman heirs re-fused
to accept the award and appealed
from it to court where they are repre-sented
by Hon. James S. Beacom, of
Greensburg; Nevin A. Cort, Esq., of this
place, and Berkey and Shaver, of Som-erset.
The jury was drawn Monday and view-ed
the premises Tuesday, the taking of
testimony not being begun until yester-day.
The case will likely occupy the
attention of court all week.

DISSEMINATIONjlf SOME INFORMATION.
Numerous Wise Candidates for Offices in Westmoreland
County Take Advantages of THE JOURNAL'S
Columns for This Purpose.
KIND WORD FOR BOTH REPUBICAN AND DEMOCRAT.
DAVID A. MILLER.
Popular Candidate for Register of Wills on
the Republiean Tioket. •
Davin A. Miller, of Greensburg, is a
candidate for Register of Wills on the
Republican ticket before the primaries
DAVID A. MILLER.
on Saturday. June 1st. Mr. Miller needs
no introduction to the people of West-moreland
county. He has always been
in the forefront as a party worker, and
has used his best efferts for its success.
Heretofore he has been content to be
just a worker and this is his first appear-ance
as a candidate. He is making a
splendid canvass, and from all parts of
the county come encouraging reports
that the Republicans are rallying around
him for the reason that he stands for the
best that there is in the party.
YOUR CHOICE FOR SHERIFF.
A Vote Cast for Benjamin Steele is for the
Right Man This Time.
Benjamin Steele, of Irwin, is a candi-date
for the nomination of Sheriff on the
Republican ticket before the primaries
on Saturday, June 1st. Mr. Steele is
known throughout Westmoreland as a
true-blue Republican. He has been a
resident, of the county all of his life. He
was never an applicant for office until
three years ago, when he was out for
Sheriff.
Mr. Steele has all the qualifications to
fill' the office to the satisfaction of all
concerned. He will go into the office
untrammeled, and is running entirely on
his merits. A vote for Benjamin Steele,
therefore, will not be regretted when the
ballots are cast at the primaries.
Plain Ban Bierer.
Daniel Bierer, the well known Hemp-field
township farmer who is a candidate
on the Democratic ticket for Poor Di-rector,
called on a few of his old friends
here Friday while looking after his po-litical
fences. He is. making a clean can-vass
on his merits as a citizen who has
the best interests of the county at heart
and, if he is snowed under, says he will
continue to be plain Dan Bierer.
Strong Northern Claim.
Among the Republican candidates
here Friday was Reynolds Laughlin, of
New Kensington, who desires to become
a Director of the Poor. This is his third
hitch for the office and, as his section of
the big county has never had a repre-sentative
on the poor board, he feels
that he is entitled to the nomination
this time.
New Candidate for Sheriff.
Hon. George H. Stevens, of Monessen,
Republican candidate for Sheriff, made
the town his first visit in the present
campaign Friday. He needs no intro-duction
to JOURNAL readers as he served
three terms in the Legislature as a West-moreland
representative. He was a trifle
late getting in the race this time, but
George says he has set a swift pace and
will make the other fellows go some.
COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest Gatbered From Both
Mine and Yard.
The Indian Creek Railroad Company
is said to be preparing to extend its line
through the mountain near Marshall
Mills, thereby developing large coal and
timber tracts in Ligonier Valley.
State Senator Cyrus E. Woods, of
Greensburg, president pro tem of the
senate, has given notice of his retire-ment
from political life at the close of
the session today. He has been elected
chief counsel for the Pittsburg Coal Com-pany
and will give the work his entire
attention. The position is said to pay
$15,000 a year.
J. V. Thompson, the Uniontown bank-er,
closed his biggest coal deal last
Thursday when he disposed of 131 tracts
in Washington county, a total of 10,500
acres, to the Westmoreland Coal Com-pany
for $2,600,000.
The days of the old West Newton shaft
are said to be numbered after having
been in operation for more than a gen-eration.
A new opening to the coal will
be made on the Budd farm, near the
abandoned cement mill.
DENIES THE SIGNATURES.
First Answer in Rediscounted Note Case at
Waynesburg.
The first answer in any of the many
suits started on rediscounted notes since
the failure of the Farmers and Drovers
National Bank at Waynesburg has been
filed in the Greene county court. The
affidavit of defense is to the action be-gun
by the First National Bank, of West
Newton, against the Waynesburg Forge
Sheet and Tin mill on a rediscounted
four-month note for $5,000.
The answer is made by Walter Baker,
general manager of the plant, who avers
it is not true that C. H. Bowlby, as pres-ident,
and Timothy Ross, as secresary,
signed any such note; that their signa-tures
to the note on which the suit is
based is not genuine, and that the com-pany
did not receive any money on such
note.
FAKE PRIZE FIGHT RECALLED.
Jacob Kromer Gets New Trial but Harry
Trimble is Refused.
Harry Trimble, of Scottdale, convicted
at the December term of court in Fay-ette
county with conspiracy to defraud
in connection with a prize fight held at
Baltimore and prosecuted by Hiram
Holt, of Ohiopyle, has been refused a
new trial.
Jacob Kromer, late a Youngwood hotel
keeper, also convicted in the same in-dictment
with Trimble, was granted a
new trial. The court did not give any
specific reasons for its action, but in
granting Kromer a new trial incidentally
remarked that a telegram offered in evi-dence
and signed “Jake" at the trial
should have been offered in evidence as
the original telegram and not as a copy.
As evidence the original should have
been produced.
State Troopers in Trouble.
In making a raid Saturday on colored
crap shooters near West Homestead,
where a detail of state troopers from
Greensburg is on guard at the plant of
the Mesta Manufacturing Company
whose men are on a strike, Robert Carr,
a Pittsburg negro, was shot and killed.
Sergeant Lohmiller and Private Ander-son
were arrested on the order of the
Allegheny county coroner, but were re-leased
on bail furnished by Charles J.
Mesta, the head of the company, pend-ing
an investigation.
Leading Democratic Candidate.
William D. Mullin, of this place,Dem-ocratic
candidate for Director of the
Poor, is credited by the knowing ones
with leading the unterrified procession
in his division. He is going after this
nomination just as he did when playing
left field on a local base ball nine years
ago. H the ball ever touched his hands
it was his or "Billy” would have torn
the cover off the sphere.
EXCITING RUN OFF.
At Least a Gentleman From Donegal Town-ship
Found it So.
A double team attached to one of the
delivery wagons from the Rainey store
at Acme ran off down Main street Friday
morning and created considerable ex-citement,
although all the damage done
when the driver recovered the outfit in
the East End was a broken doubletree.
The affair, however, caused plenty of
excitement for David Keslar, of Done-gal
township, who was seated in a buggy
with the lines around his neck on the
hill when the wagon, in dashing along,
upset the vehicle and threw the occu-pant
out.
“Dave” wasn’t hurt by the tumble to
the strret, but a March hare is all smiles
when compared with the mad that was
David's when his usually quiet horse
got to prancing around and pulled the
buggy over his fallen owner, who was
held with his nose to the brick pave-ment
by the tightly drawn lines. Citi-zens
in the neighborhood soon rescued
him from his perilous position.
Election for Colonel Barnett’s Successor.
An election for commander of the
Tenth Infantry, N. G. P., to fill the va-cancy
caused by the resignation of Col-onel
James E. Barnett, will be held on
the evening of Wednesday, May 22. The
eleefion will be conducted by Colonel
W. E. Thompson, of the Fourteenth In-fantry,
probably in the Monongahela
House, Pittsburg.
MAY TERM OF
WESTMORELAND
CRIMINAL COURT
Was Begun at Greensburg on
Monday Morning Last
BEFORE JUDGES DOTY AND M’CONNELL
WITH JOHN A. WARDEN, OF THIS PLACE,
FOREMAN OF THE GRAND JURY.
Common Pleas Court Cases.
The jury in the action of ejectment of
William Hunter against Mrs. Mary A.
Hunter rendered a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff tor the land in dispute, ten
acres situate in Mount Pleasant town-ship.
The borough of Scottdale suffered a
voluntary non-suit in its action to re-coyer
$3,600 from its former secretary,
E. L. Rutherford, because the plaintiff
bad failed to demand a settlement of the
defendant. It is said the borough's bills
for special auditors and costs of this
case will approximate $3,500.
The Cases so Far Disposed of are for
the Most Part of a Petty Nature
and of Little Local Interest Al-though
Mount Pleasant will Likely
Sit up and Take Notice Now That
the Numerous Andrews-Crosby As-sault
and Battery Suits Have Taken
the Center of the Legal Stage.
The May term of criminal court in this
county opened at Greensburg Monday
morning before Judges Doty and McCon-nell
and with John A. Warden, of this
place, as foreman of the grand jury. The
cases so far disposed of were of a petty
nature.
Elmer Coon, who was convicted at the
February term of the attempted burglary
of the store of Mrs. Clara Neenon at Ar-nold,
was sentenced to pay a fine of $1
and costs and serve six months in jail
to be computed from Dec. 17th, 1906.
Benjamin C. Means and Don Jones,
two young men,defendants in girl cases,
were acquitted and the costs placed on
the County.
Antonio Ginnell, of New Alexandria,
was acquitted on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons, but was convicted
on a charge of selling liquor without
license and sentenced to pay a fine of
$500 and four months in the workhouse.
Solomon Reese, of this place, charged
Mrs. Mary Baker with having assaulted
his daughter in a backyard squabble.
The jury divided the costs.
Mack Cole, charged with felonious
shooting by Constable H. F. Kuhns, of
Donegal, was convicted.
Milton Smith, of Scottdale, charged
with furnishing liquor by Joseph Queer,
was acquitted, but shared the costs with
the prosecutor.
Many witnesses from here went up to
court yesterday to testify in the six An-drews-
Crosby assault and battery suits
that were combined into one case. The
trouble grew out of the separation of Mr.
and Mrs. Vinton Andrews and afterward
involved the young man’s father, J. B.
Andrews, and Mrs. Andrews' brothers.
DEATHS OF THE WEEK.
The Grim Reaper’s Work in Thia Plaoe
and Vicinity.
Mrs. Rebecca Owen Keister, widow of
Solomon Keister, died at her Scottdale
home last Wednesday evening, aged 80
years, the funeral taking place on Friday

and four daughters survive and her step-children
are: Albert, A. L., B. F. and F.
O. Keister; Rev. Dr. Lawrence Keister,
of this place; Mrs. J. S, Mills, of Ann-ville,
Pa., and Lindley W. Keister, of
Los Angeles, California.
Samuel Kiser, of Keota, Iowa, a nephew
of O, P. Shupe, of this place, died in
Texas Friday of heart trouble, aged about
40 years.
Veteran Scottdale Merchants Retire.
As will be seen by its regular adver-tisement
in these columns, the J. S.
Parker Company, owner of Scottdale’s
leading store, is selling out in order to
permit of the head of the firm, J. S.
Parker, and his brother, George E.
Parker, retiring on June 1, when the first
named gentleman's son, Frank R. Parker,
will become their successor as the F. R.
Parker Company. THE JOURNAL trusts
the lines will continue to fall in pleas-ant
places for both these elder Messrs.
Parker, following active business careers
of over 34 years.
New GirlB’ Club.
The Girls' Saturday Afternoon Club,
composed of Misses Elsie and Leona
Baker, Nellie and Myrtle Myers, Char-lotte
and Lulu Brinker, Zella and Flor-ence
Green and Anna and Mabel Rum-baugh,
were entertained last Saturday

The Sunday schools of Westmoreland
Classis, Reformed Church, will hold
their annual convention here in the
First church of that denomination June
5 and 6. Between 50 and 60 delegates
will be in attendance.
Monument Anniversary.
The first anniversary of the dedication
of the monument erected near Paria, Pa.,
to the memory of the lost Cox children
of the Alleghenies was held last Wed-nesday
when Rev. M. V. DeVaux, of this
place, delivered one of the addresses.
These children, George S. and Joseph S.
Cox, aged, respectively, 5 and 7 years,
were lost from their home on April 24,
1856, and were found dead 14 days later.
Big Fire at Bradenville.
Bradenville had the most destructive
fire in its history Friday morning when
the general store and stables of Saxman
Bros, and two dwelling houses belong-ing
to the firm were completely destroy-ed.
The total loss is in the neighbor-hood
of $60,000, upon which only $32,000
insurance was carried.

BLACKSMITH’S
MISTAKE.
George W. Smith Got Horse Hoot
Parings in the Fertilizer he Put
on His Prize Onion Bed.
WHAT DOGS DID TO GARDEN WAS APLENTY
Next to the Spanish-American war record of his son, Herbert N., George
W. Smith, the veteran blacksmith on the Diamond, prizes the garden at his
recently purchased Main street home. But it is not safe even for an old
friend to say anything to him about how his first setting of little onions
came out.
It seems that the elder Mr. Smith decided to give that particular bed a
top dressing of fertilizer from the tloor of his shop, but made the mistake of
having in it some horse hoof parings, which dogs prefer to the best tender-loin
steak.
This gardner wasn’t aware of this canine fondness until the next morning
after he had the sweepings. Then almost the entire northern portion of the
Second ward was littered with little onions which the dogs had kicked out in
digging for the parings. And as for the bed—well, there was a big hole in
the ground where it had been. It isn’t necessary to add that G. Washington
expressed himself forcibly.
PICKINGS FROM BABYLAND.
Some Clever Sayings by Little Mites
of Humanity.
Ernest was seven years old and was
permitted to remain after Sunday
school to hear the sermon. Asked at
the dinner table if he remembered the
text, he exclaimed: “Remember it!
Why, good gracious, the preacher
didn’t remember it himself, lie had to
get the liook and read it.”
Little Ruthle was to slay all night
with her aunt. When she was ready
for bed. her aunt said. “Now. kneel
down and say your prayers, dear.”
Ruthie knelt down at her auntie's knee
and bowed her little head. She was
silent for some moments; then she
looked up with a worried face and
said, "Auntie, I guess you will have to
start the tune!”
Little Margie, after her first week at
school, said to her mother, “Mamma,
do I know as much now as you don’t
know ?”
Sunday School Teacher—Some little
boys are good and some others are bad.
What kind go to heaven?
Small Johnny—Dead ones.
Willie—This paper says another octo-genarian
is dead. What’s an octoge-narian
anyway?
Flossie—I don’t know, but they must
be awfully sickly. They are nearly al-ways
dying.
Mabel (aged six)—Ain’t you afraid of
our big dog?
The Parson (very thin)—No, my dear.
He wouldn’t make much of a meal off
me.
Maliel—Oh, but he likes hones best —
Chicago News.
It Would Be Simple.
Iu the days before the dawn of his
fame it was the practice of a certain
well known author to wander up and
-down the laud seeking what he might
devour in the way of suggestion and
local color. In this way ho had drift-ed
down into Arkansas, "roughing it”
and not, as he expresses it, presenting
an appearance calculated to inspire a
hotel proprietor with unlimited confi-dence.
The only hotel In the town, a frame
structure, seemed to have been built
upon the theory :hat there was plenty
of room straight up, but that ground
had to be bought, and the wanderer
was shown to a room on the third
floor, reached through many narrow
and winding passages. From the one
window it was a straight drop to the
ground.
“Say, how would 1 get out of this
place In case of fire?” he asked the
landlord, who had brought up his grip.
The other eyed him coldly.
“Waal,” he drawled, “all yo’ would
have to do would be to show the night
watchman—the one with the shotgun
—a receipted Dill fob yo’ board an’
lodgin’ an’ get him to tie up the bull-dog.”—

How Pa MX60 me Lawn Mower.
IVe got our old lawn mower out.
But it would hardly run a bit.
"We'll have to get it fixed,” says ma,
But pa says, "I can tinker it;
It's wasteful, this extravagance,
So get Borne ofi, a wrench, a file;
I'll fix it up the same as new
In only Just a little while.”
“Be keerful, SI," says ma, but pa
Jest looked at her and kinder sniffed.
“I know what I’m about,” says he,
“At Axin' things I got a gift.
You Just take Tommy off to church,
And when you're home again you’ll see
That I can do things mighty well
When-no one's by to pester me.”
1 begged to stay a-helpin’ pa
Because I like to hear 'lm cuss.
But had to go to Sunday school
And couldn't wait to see tile muss.
I couldn't stay there, though, but sneaked
Away and run for home like Ned.
I didn't dare go In, but peeked
At pa from round behind the shed.
And there was pa—his Sunday pants
Looked like ho’d taken then, to wipe
A engine with; he'd tore his shirt
And hit tlic stem clean off his pipe;
He kicked the thing an’ hurt his corn,
Then run and got the ax, and—wow!
When he got through he grinned and
jelled,
“Doggone you, guess I’ve Axed you
now!”

Went Long Without Food.
How long can an animal live with-out
eating? Last year a dog was im-prisoned
for 29 days in a rabbit war-ren
at Guildford, England, yet ’was
dug out alive. During the siege of
Metz, in the Franco-Prussian war, a
dog was confined without food or
water for 39 days; while Dover rec-ords
have the story of a pig which,
buried alive by a fall of cliff, came
out all right at the end of 160 days.
How Great Men Rise.
George Stevenson, while a brake-man,
took time to learn every detail
of the engine. And at night he worked
over and over in his mind the me-chanical
problems that perplexed him,
and often spent more time in bed
thinking than sleeping. Thus do great
men attain their heights.
Little One’s Prayer.

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 fingers—
the self oiling device saves time, uses the oil over and over
and prevents dripping on machine or floor. The Tubular
skimmed 2£ 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 iu

Aby Pershing Gets* the Animal For
Route 4, Meets With Mishap and
turns him over to Ezra Summy.
M«0,1 MAN HIS SOME TROUBLE, TOO.
I Aby Pershing, the carrier on local R. F. D. No. 4’, got a new horse one
day last week and was leading him home along College avenue when he
feared at “Hud” Jordan’s newly trimmed shade trees. Then the horse being
driven got lossy and the next thing Abraham knew he and the United States
mail were mixed up in the mud with the buggy on top of them. The new
horse was turned over the next morning to Ezra Summy, the No. 1 man,
for a taming down.
Mr. Summy says that he would have made the rounds all right had not
“Abe” StoufTer put a little mound of earth at his box to make it handier for
tlie female members of his family. To serve the Stouffer box the carrier
must stop right on top of the little hill. This horse wouldn’t stop there, al-though
Ezra got him stopped after a lively run off to Hurst’s school house
where the outfit halted with a broken shaft.
I he nervy carrier thought to ride the horse home, but the animal isn’t a
saddler as Mr. Summy discovered after he had been kicked oil a time or two.
Then he borrowed a buggy from Frank Andrew and drove the pesky critter
back to town.

Hard Drilling.
A bit of the Uliul of American hu-mor
that has thrived since the days of
Benjamin Franklin comes from a Mon-tana
mining camp.
Said one miner, "The rock down in
that shaft is so hard that they used six
barrels of drills the other day and
barely scratched it.”
“Ugh!" .said another. “I saw ’em
working on a ledge once where the
rock was so hard that after they hail
used nine barrels ,of drills on It the
hole stuck out six inches.”—Judge’s
Library.
A Stirring Story.
Fake Coins In Offertory.
Clergymen in Scotland have been
disconcerted recently on discovering
Imitation money, made of silvered
pasteboard and looking like shillings,
in the offertory on Sundays. One
minister says that no one "can quar-rel
with the ingenuity displayed in
the manufacture of these ‘coins.’
They are absolutely perfect—to look
at."
Universal Love.
So long as thou hast a whole ami
undivided love towards all men, a
share of the virtues and divine In
fluences bestowed upon all flows out
unto thee through this love. But if
tliou dost sever any one from this
spirit, of universal love, thou wilt not
receive the precious benefits of love.

Taking No Charces.
Marlon, aged five yea s, was quar
antined with the measles when a new
baby arrived at her auntie’s next
door. A week later when taken to
visit the little stranger h r aunt, lying
In bed, asked: “Aren’t you going to
kiss me, Marlon?” “No," replied the
late victim of the measles, “I might
catch what you have."

Wanted for Ornament.
My little brother, aged four years,
who was visiting his grandparents,
was fond of sugar. One morning at
breakfast he repeatedly asked for
more sugar to put on his oatmeal.
One of his aunts said: “You don’t
need any more sugar." Willie replied:
“Oh, I .my want it for an ornament.”
His Step Ladr’-r.
One evening Hoy and his mamma
were sitting in the twilight talking.
He had a faint idea of a second mar-riage,
but he desired to know more
about it, and commenced to ask ills
mamma questions, among which was,
Mamma, if you should die, would
papa’s second wife be my step lad-der?”
Superstition and Religion.
Superstition is related to this life,
religion to the next; superstition i
allied to fatality, religion to virtue
it is by the vivacity of earthly desires
that we become superstitious; it is,
on the contrary, by the sacrifice of
these des’res that we become reli
ous.—Mr Line de Stael (1766-1817).
Occultism.
It is noteworthy that supernatural-ism
prevaili d just as strongly at the
other side of the globe, among thu
aborigines of the new world. The com-ing
of the Spaniards had been prophe-sied
to the I exicaus by their caciques,
and the pr-.phecies were sung amid
loud lamentations at their festivals.

LIVER TROUBLE.
MICHAKL SILK.
A dull, shifUish liver alweyi brings ■
dull, sluggish feeling to the entire body.
When the liver
works properly the
blood oourset
through the body in
a bright red stream.
When the liver is
inactive the blood
heoomes dull and
muddy, and it ia
full of poisonous
matter.
A great many
people try to get a
fine, clear, pink and
white complexion
by rubbing things
on their faces. They
might rub a life time
and the same yellow oomplexion would
remain—for the liver causes it. Only
bright, red blood brings fine complexions.
Blood loaded with impurities from the
liver sends the impurities out through the
pores of the skin and turns the skin a
brownish yellow.
To get rid of the dull, heavy feeling and
muddy, yellow complexion get the liver
to working again. Two bottles of Coop-er’s
New Discovery will do this nine
times out of ten though sometimes it
takes four or five bottles.
Here’s what a man who tried it says:
“My health had been poorly for several
years. My face was yellow and covered
with pimples, I was bothered constantly
with chronic constipation, had little or no
appetite and could not sleep well at night.
I became weak and lost all ambition. I
tried many different medicines hut nothing
seemed to help me until I began taking
Cooper’s New Discovery. It seemed to
help me at once. Now, after I have taken
several bottles I feel entirely well. My
face is clear, I sleep well, have a good
appetite and am quite myself again,”
“I am deeply grateful for my restored
health.’’ Michael Silk, 24 Kentucky Ave.,

HEAVY INSURANCE LOSSES.
The San Francisco conflagration of
April, 1906, swept away not only every
dollar of profit previously made by the
insurance companies out of underwrit-ing
since 1860, but cost them $79,708,174
besides, according to a statement made
by President George W. Burchell, of the
National Board of Underwriters, at the
annual meeting of that organization in
New York last Thursday.
President Burchell said carefully com-piled
figures showed the total property
loss by the catastrophe to have been in
round numbers $350,000,000. The loss to
243 insurance companies was $175,508,-
530 and in addition to this there was a
large amount of reinsurance in foreign
companies which would make the total
loss to insurance companies throughout
the world between $220,000,000, and
$225,000,000,
These are tremendous losses, yet it is
greatly to the credit of the companies

as a rule, were promptly paid, a great

IRELAND IN A NUT SHELL.
C0REY-0ILMAN WEDDING.
In order to escape the unlucky 13th of
the month, Mr. William Ellis Corey,
president of the United States Steel Cor-poration,
and Miss Mabelle Gilman, the
former actress, were married at 1:24
o'clock Tuesday morning in New York.
The ceremony took place in the royal
suite at the Hotel Gotham, Fifth avenue
and Fifty-fifth street, in the presence of
a small party of friends of the contract-ing
couple.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. J. L. Clark, pastor of the Bushwick
avenue Congregational church of Brook-lyn,
it being said that no Episcopal min-ister
could be induced to tie the nuptial
knot. Following a $5,000 wedding break-fast,
Mr. and Mrs. Corey were taken in
an automobile to Hoboken where they
boarded a steamer and sailed for France
later in the day. They will spend the
honeymoon near Paris at the Chateau
Genis, which was the groom's only gift
to his bride. ,
J. B. Corey, of Braddock, an uncle of
the groom, says that his nephew will
live to rue this marriage, and he may, of
course: but, there is no doubt about the
head of the great steel trust having call-ed
down upon himself much merited
censure by the divorce of his faithful
first wife.

A Leading Feature of Howe’s Moving Pic-tures
Tomorrow Night.
The habits, customs and industries of
the Emerald Isle will be reproduced by
Lyman H. Howe in his great moving
picture show at the Grand Opera House,
tomorrow (Friday) evening, May 17, in
all their charm and quaintness. Its his-toric
and natural beauties, also, are por-trayed
magnificently. Their exquisite
charm will recall memories and tradi-tions
dear, not only to the hearts of all
true Irishmen, but the wealth of interest
and romance embodied in these scenes
compel admiration from all, To many
they show the very things they have
seen. To still more they show the things
they most want to see. The pictures
comes like a refreshing breeze from the
“Ould Sod.”
The joyous and subtle humor of Erin
is so well blended with the picturesque
that the pictures captivate heart and
mind. From the city life in Dublin with
its fine buildings and monuments,
through the zig zag streets of Cork with
its Old Clothes Market to the vivacious
and happy-go-lucky peasants engaged in
digging, drying and marketing peat, the
series abounds in charm and interest.
Ireland’s famous castles, including the
Blarney with its stone that has “A dale
of power in it” are pictured in a way
that cold type can never express.

BOWSER MAKESHIFT
Presents Wife With Handsome
Outfit on Her Birthday.
BUT SHE DOESN'T LIKE IT.
(Incident Clouds What Otherwise Would
Have Been a Day of Serene Happi-ness—
The Cat Is Greatly Amused
Over the Affair.
[Copyright, 1907, by McClure Newspaper
Syndicate.]
Mrs. Bowser’s birthday was close at
hand, and she was taking good care to
say nothing to arouse Mr. Bowser’s
recollection. She was conspiring to let
It slip by without a hint. Two weeks
before the date he observed that they
were growing old together and that the
years seemed to slip past with great
rapidity, but he stopped there. The
next week he carelessly remarked that
she looked five years younger than the
year before, but as she did not answer
him that was the end of It. The other
morning she got tip to realize that the
day was at hand and that It was to
pass unnoticed. It was true that dur-ing
breakfast Mr. Bowser’s face had
worn a knowing smile, and that now
and then ho had emitted a chuckle of
exultation, but she had figured It out
that he was after another spring pig
or a new lot of Leghorn hens.
Birthday Subject Is Up.
The day passed quietly, and with the
coming of evening Mr. Bowser arrived
home from the office. He was in jolly
splritN. lie had been elbowed on the
"WHAT IN THUN 1)EB AILS THAT YALLKll
EYED OLD OAT?’’
street car, but he didn’t want to kill
anybody. lie had found a lump of
coni at the gate, lmt he dldii’t charge
Mrs. Bowser with having sold a ton
or so to n tramp. The meat had come
late and was not well done, but ho had
no scowls of displeasure for the cook.
Mrs. Bowser hoped against hope. That
is, sho hoped it was chickens or a spring
tonic instead of a birthday present.
When they left the table for the sit-ting
room, Mr. Bowser was chuckling.
When he sat down to his newspaper
and cigar, he was grinning. He want-ed
Mrs. Bowser to notice the fact and
ask what was the matter, but she per-sistently
refused to do so. At the end
of fifteen minutes he could stand it no
5anger and dropped his paper to say:
-“.Some folks think they nre awful
■smart, but there are others.”
“Does that refer to me?” she asked.
“It does that. So you thought I had
lost my memory, did you? You were
going to let your birthday pass with-out
a hint to me, but I have been keep-ing
tab on the date for a month past.
It’s rather a hit at me that you should
think I’d forget such u thing.”
“But birthdays don’t amount to any-thing,"
she smiled.
“In the case of men—husbands—they
don’t, but the husband who forgets Ills
wife’s birthday Is a poor sort of man.
I have never forgotten It yet, my dear,
and when I do you may think there Is
something wrong with my brain.”
“Yes, you have always been very
kind and nice, but—lmt 1 didn't want
to put you to any expense or bother
this year.’’
“Nonsense! Does a loving husband
count expense or bother when Ills
wife’s birthday comes? Come and kiss
me, dear, and let me congratulate you
on looking so young. By George, but
if I didn’t know better I’d put your
age at about twenty-five!”
Mrs. Bowser kissed him and blushed
and murmured her thanks, but at the
same time was trembling Inwardly.
Gives Estimate of Himself.
“I’m an old kicker and fault finder
mid crank.” be continued, “but don’t
you forget that 1 appreciate my little
wifey just the same. Had I married
iny other woman in America, I should
have been divorced within a year. Not
remember your birthday! Why, dear,
had I forgotten it I should be ashamed
to look you in the face.”
“But you only bought me a pair of
gloves or some handkerchiefs?”
“We shall see about that. If I was
a stevedore and you n washerwoman,
perhaps a pair of gloves or some hand-kerchiefs
would do. Mrs. Bowser, I
have kicked.”
“But all husbands kick.”
“I have talked about divorce.”
“But you didn’t mean it.”
“1 have been such a crank that I
am baldheaded.”
“But there are thousands of others.”
“How good of you, dearie,” he said,
with tears In his eyes. “Every morn-ing
when I get up and every night
when 1 lie down I thank heaven for
such a”—
“What’s the matter?”
“What in thunder alls that yaller
eyed old eat?”
The cat had been sitting up on the
hearth rug In a demure way and tak-ing
In the conversation and the situa-tion.
Of a sudden his emotions over-came
him, and he rolled over on his
back with Ills legs lip and chuckled
and said to himself:
“I've lived in this family going on
five years nml if there Isn't a circus
coming then I’m way oft in my calcula-tions.”
“I must get some catnip of the first
peddler that comes along,” explained
Mrs. Bowser. “Being that it’s my
birthday don’t you want to run into
Green’s with me for a few minutes?”
Sho hoped to put Mr. Bowser off. but
it was a vain hope. He made a men-tal
resolve to hit the cat with the
crowbar at the first favorable oppor-tunity
and rose up and said:
“Not going to Green’s tonight, my
dear. You are dying to know what
sort of a surprise party 1 have for
you, and I won’t keep you waiting.”
On reaching home that evening he
had left a bundle In the vestibule. He
now passed down tho hall and got It,
and between curiosity and fear Mrs.
Bowser found her heart beating as if
there were burglars In the house.
Presents His Gift.
“I don’t expect you to jump over the
house for joy,” he observed as he un-tied
the string, “but I do hope you’ll
appreciate what I have here. I was
looking around to buy something when
I happened into an auction room and
picked up these bargains. They are
not only bargains, but there are mem-ories
connected with them. Behold!”
And he held up a blue velvet skirt
and waist trimmed with silver buttons
and braid of the same material and
watched for a cry of delight. Mrs.
Bowser instantly recognized It as a
dress worn by one of the fairies In a
comic opera—a fairy about sixteen
years old and weighing about ninety
pounds.
“Well?” queried Mr. Bowser Impa-tiently.
“It’s very nice.”
“Nice! It’s a dream. It’s the dress
worn by Marie Antoinette on her wed-ding
day. Just after I had hid it in a
dime museum man came rushing in
and offered me $26 for my bargain.
And look at these.”
The fairy had worn gay stockings to
match the dress. There were six pairs,
and they alone had guaranteed the suc-cess
of the opera.
“These stockings were worn by Eu-genie
when she was driven into exile,”
explained Mr. Bowser ns he dangled
them on his hands. “And once more.”
Taken In as Usual.
“Once more” meant a pair of red
slippers with silver cord running
around them. They were hardly large
enough for Mrs. Bowser to got her
thumbs into them. In the goodness of
his heart Mr. Bowser had bought some-
Bfecause it contains the very
elements needed to rebuild
wasting tissues and replace
feebleness with strength.

JOHN TARR,
COW TRADER
He Swopped a Scary Milker to Char-ley
Bossart for Real Nice
Quiet Animal.
MUN, Z1, STIRRED UP SOUTH SIDE.
John T. Tarr, the Civil war veteran and ex-Councilman, who resides on
South Church street, recently traded off to Charley Bossart one of the best
Jersey cows in all this section because the sight of an umbrella scared her al-most
to death and many were the jerks she gave her former owner while he
led her to and from the pasture field on wet days.
The cow John got in return was a real nice quiet animal and quite a
milker, too, so far as quantity is concerned; but, when he attempted to lead
her out to pasture the other day the city noises put her to the bad. She ap-parently
lost her nerve, tore loose from the leader and ran amuck over the
South Side. A western cattle round-up wasn’t in it with the excitement that
followed when the friends and neighbors rallied to the Tarr flag of distress.
The cow was finally retaken and landed in the field, but Mr. Tarr hasn’t yet
been able to figure out just how much Mr. Bossart made on the trade.

BEWARE OF THIS TRUST.
How to Cope With the Mail Order
Combine That Kills Competition.
“I’m against the trusts, first, last and
all the time,” remarked a leading citi-zen
at the postoffice the other day.
“Pardon me, my dear sir, but I don't
quite believe you are,” quietly volun-teered
a stranger,
“What do you know about it?” asked
the citizen, a little offeuded.
“Just this,” replied the stranger. “1
saw you a moment ago, while both of
us were using the desk shelf along the
wall, address a letter to a big mail
order house in Chicago which 1 happen
to know about. I couldn’t help but see
the address us the letter lay there be-fore
me. Now, begging your pardon
for the question, didn't you order some
goods from that house?”
“I did. And what of It?”
“Then, my dear sir, you are giving
aid and sustenance to the one trust
which is harming you and your com-munity
more than all the rest of the
trusts put together. I refer to the
mail order trust. Are you not aware
of the fact that the mall order houses,
being big and rich and powerful, are
killing off competition everywhere in
the country districts? The Standard
Oil company does not affect your com-munity
to any very great extent per-haps,
but this mail order trust comes
directly into your midst, manages to
undersell your local merchants in some
things, thor ;h the trust makes it up
off you in other things, and you and
your neighbors mail your money to this
competition killing trust ailcl thereby
slowly hut surely strangle the life
out of your own home enterprises. Did
that ever occur to you?”
“Well, I can’t say that it ever did,
not just in that light,” replied the cit-izen.
“No, but think it over. The big cities
are constantly getting bigger at the ex-pense
of the smaller cities and the
country. That is because they are get-ting
the trade of the country—the indi-vidual
trade, not alone that of the
country merchants. You neglect your
home merchant. He goes out of busi-ness,
moves to the city and becomes a
hired man for one of these trusts.”
“Well, what can we do about it? If
the mail order business is a trust, it
seems to be a legitimate one. There
is no law against it.”
“You are quite right. But there are
things you can do. For Instance, you
can set to work and organize in your
town a home trade league, the mem-bers
to .pledge themselves,. so fay as
possible, to encourage home trade by
trading at home. If I lived in a small
town, I'd do something just like that.
Why don’t you do it?”
The citizen remarked that he'd think
it over. A great many others might
think the matter over without-any In-jury
to local interests.
A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
The Local Newspaper Is Not an Object
of Charily.
“The old idea of helping support the
local newspaper,” remarked the editor
of a country paper, "has played out.
Country newspaperdom has chuuged
amazingly in recent years. There may
have been a time when a few newspa
pers were objects of charity, when the
fellows who tried to run them sought
advertising on the ground of sup-porting
the paper, but those days have
passed.
“A newspaper is a business proposi-tion.
It has two commodities for sale,
each of which is worth money, just as
potatoes, legal services or dry goods
are worth money.* These commodities
are subscriptions and advertising space.
“Now that nearly everybody takes
the home paper It would seem that no-body
should have to lie ‘shown’ that
advertising space in the home paper
is worth money to the buyer—that is,
if lie knows how to use his space in-telligently.
And most advertisers In
late years have learned how.
“The old argument was that the pa-per
helps to build up the town and
you should .therefore -support It. The
new argument is that the paper will
help to build up your business if you
use Its advertising columns.”
Civic Clubs In School.
The educational committee of the
Lebanon (Pa.) Woman’s club has start-ed
a movement to organize all the
school children Into civic societies.
When organized the societies will he
merged Into a league and then made
auxiliary to the state league, says the
Philadelphia Press. The school direct-ors
approve of the movement and have
granted a part of the last Friday in
each month for meetings of the socie-ties.
At these meetings the little folks
will be addressed on good citizenship
and other civic subjects by lecturers
provided by the Woman’s club. Mrs.
J. L. Rockey, Mrs. Cyrus Rauch, Mrs.
H. J. Hayden, Miss Anna Matthes,
Mrs. Harry Smith and others have al-ready
organized several societies In as
many school buildings. The children
are deeply Interested, as each member
will wear a budge, and those elected to
office will wear special badges.

HAMMONUVILLK.
James Lint has observed the seasons
during the preceding twenty years and
declares that for every fog in February
there will be a frost in May. Accor-dingly,
we will experience a severe frost
May 17th. Nothing but the hardest veg-etables
will survive.
Lee File, of Mars, Butler county, is
rusticating in scenic Greenlick valley at

with the young ladies of this locality.
Our groves are covered with a carpet
of gorgeous coloration by the profusion
of wild flowers which are in bloom.
The public schools of Pennsylvania
are claimed by educationists to be equal
to any on the Continent or in the world.
In these schools all the up-to-date text
books containing practical business
forms are taught. The boys and girls of
this locality have the exceptional op-portunity
ot attending a high school
provided by the Bridgeport Independent
Board of Education. This high school
should be patronized by all the people
of the different townships within a radius
of one mile.
Charles Brothers, who is at Irwin, was
a Saturday evening visitor with Bridge-port
friends.
L. C. Swan, of Brookville, Jefferson
county, acting agent for the Scottdale
Bank, was in this vicinity last Thursday
soliciting deposits. Robert and Cleve
Washabaugh were among the first to start
saving accounts.
Prof. J. A. Fennell, late principal of
the Bridgeport high school, was a busi-ness
caller here last Friday.
Joseph Christner and daughter, Miss
Oakie, were pleasant callers here on
Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. Norman Washabaugh are
very much relieved since they received
the longed for news of their son Elmer’s
fair road to recovery. He is now past
critical danger.
W. E. Miller is having good success
with his new incubator. Over one hun-dred
chicks were obtained from the sec-ond
hatch. Poultry is a most profitable
industry when properly looked after.
The demand for early chickens has been
unsupplied in the past. Every farmer
should keep poultry.
Many of our farmers tell us that they
bought their farms and paid for them by
tilling the soil. Can it be done now?
This question has caused much discuss-ion.
The intrinsic value of land de-pends
on the quantity and value of the
crops it is capable of producing. It can
still be done if all the interests of the
farm are cared for.
Many and varied opportunities are
within reach of the young men on the
farm. Many boys are anxious to leave
the farm and go to the busy city. The
city has many attractions, but think of
the vices and sins. A great mistake for
the average country boy to hustle to the
city.
KECKSBURG.
The Ministerial Association and Mis-sionary
Convention of the West Penn-sylvania
Eldership, held in the local
Church of God May 7-9, were interesting
and well attended gatherings of earnest
Christian workers, the full three-days’
program being that published in full in
THE JOURNAL. The Mount Pleasant mis-sionary
delegates were Mrs. S. G. Yahn,
Mrs. G. W. Stoner and Miss Anna Ed-wards.
Miss Edwards gave an interest-ing
talk on “India” as did also Miss
Grace Loucks on “Missions in Africa.”
The officers elected for the ensuing year
are: Mrs. George W. Stoner, president;
Mrs. J. L. Updegraph, recording secre-tary;
Mrs. S. Fulmer, corresponding sec-retary;
George W. Stoner, treasurer.
Board of Missions, Mrs. S. G. Yahn,
president; Mrs. E. T. Loucks and Mrs.
S. Fulmer, secretary. Revs. John and
Jacob Luchansky gave entertaining ad-dresses
and sang in Slavish. A collec-tion
was taken for their church in Sha-ron.
Solos were sang by Mrs. E. F.
Loucks, of Pittsburg.
Dr. and Mrs. S. G. Yahn were enter-tained
at the hospitable home of J. H.
Porch and it remained for that lady to
save her host's residence and store from
destruction by fire Thursday night. She
was retiring to her room on the second
story when, happening to glance through
a partly open door that leads from the
hall of the house upstairs to a storage
room over the store, she saw some-thing
burning. Her alarm brought Mr.
Porch and Wesley Whipkey to the
scene on the run with water in buckets
and in a few minutes all danger was
past. It seems that a lamp, used to heat
a brooder in which were 25 peepies, by
some means set fire to the artificial hen
which, with its contents, were in ashes,
while a good sized hole was burned al-most
through the floor to the wareroom
below that was filled with all kinds of
inflammable goods. Doctor Yahn, being
particularly partial to that dish, deeply
regretted the destruction of the little
chickens.

EXPLANATORY.
For 34^ years Mr. J. S. Parker has conducted a retail store in Scottdale;
34K years of successful and honorable business. During this time Scottdale was
going through the crucial days of her life and there was much question as to
whether she would ever amount to more than a village, but now, thanks to the
enterprise of her citizens, Scottdale’s solidity is beyond question.
At the close of the “Reorganization Sale’’ Mr. J. S. Parker and Mr. G. E.
Parker retire from active management of the business and a new concern, to be
known as the F. R. Parker Co., will take charge.

10 to 25 per cent under regular price for CASH.
