WilK DONE IN
LICENSE COURT
By Judges Doty and McCon-nell
at Greensburg Monday.
SPEND LESS THAN NINETY MINUTES
IN GOING OVER TWO HUNDRED AND
TWENTY-SEVEN APPLICATIONS
It is Expected That the List will be
Handed Down on Saturday Next.
8everal Features of Special Local
Interest as Mount Pleasant Has
Three New Applicants Under Con
ditions That Make the Outcome,
Particularly the Hotel Cooper Case,
a Matter of Much Uncertainty.
In less than an hour and a half Judges
Doty and McConnell, sitting in license
court at Greensburg Monday morning,
heard the 227 applications. Only new
applicants and those against whom re-monstrances
have been filed were ques-tioned
by the court. The court’s dispo-sition
of the applications will likely be
announced next Saturday.
There were several features of special
local interest as Mount Pleasant had
three new applicants on this year's list,
or rather two only as the third, Antonio
Lombardy, has applied faithfully, al-though
fruitlessly, for years. “Tony,"
as everybody calls this popular Italian,
keeps a hotel at the corner of East Wash-ington
and South Diamond streets largely
for the accommodation of his single fel-low
countrymen in this section. He be-lieves
that persistency will bring the
right answer some time. August Spelker,
who is just completing a three-story
block on East Main street, is another
new applicant.
The Hotel Cooper, an old house, fur-nishes
considerable of a complication in
addition to a new applicant in the per-son
of Al. Cooper, oldest son of the
owner of the house, George F. Cooper.
It seems that the present lessee, J. P.
Keller, asked for reduction in rent in
view of the general depression in busi-ness.
Not being able to secure a concess-ion,
he took an option on the adjoining
Walker block and applied to have his
license transferred to the latter place
which, in that event, he will purchase
outright. The elder Mr. Cooper, learning
of Mr. Keller's application for the trans-fer,
had his son, Al., apply for the license
for the Hotel Cooper.
BURIED IN CHURCH.
"Where the Body of the Late Rev. Iiaverstick
will Rost at Frostburg. Md.
The body of the late Rev. Alexander
C. Haverstick, rector of St. Margaret's
Episcopal church near Annapolis, Mary-land,
whose death there was noted in
last week's JOURNAL, he having been a
civil engineer here before he entered
the ministry, was brought Tuesday of
last week for burial to Frostburg, that
state, where he had been rector of St.
John's Episcopal church before he went
to St. Margaret’s.
Rev. Mr. Haverstick's tomb will be a

New City Hall Plans.

WANTS TO PROVE SANITY.
Dillman Pfoutz Goes Into Court For That j
Purpose.
In court at Greensburg Saturday morn
ing Dillman Pfoutz, a well-to-do farmer
of East Huntingdon township, asked
ttiat he be given a trial by jury to estab-lish
his sanity and capability to manage
his estate. Pfoutz is an adjudged lunatic,
a committee having been appointed for
his estate a number of years ago. Last
fall he obtained a marriage license in
Fayette county courts and married Mrs.
Ida Bell Ho,ugh, a widow of Ruffsdale.
Ploutz’s relatives asked the orphan's
court to declare his marriage void on
the ground that Pfoutz had been adjust-ed
a lunatic and incapable of entering
into a contract ot any kind. The mar-riage
was annulled by a court decree
and an appeal was taken to the superior
court.
Pending a decision Pfoutz has asked
the Westmoreland court to direct the
trial by jury. An issue was awarded and
the case is listed for the next term of
court. Pfoutz inherited a fortune from
his father’s estate and it lias grown
through the careful management of his
committee.

Besides her husband, she leaves eight
children.

Over the Attempt Being- Made in the
Legislature to Repeal Her
Local Option Law.
ACT HIS SEN II FORCE (OR FORTY YEARS.
Considerable tension exists in West Newton as a result of an effort being
made in the Legislature to repeal a special act which has prevented the saleol
intoxicants in that town and within a radius of two miles for about 40 years.
In a sermon the pastor of one of the most influential churches charged an
other pastor with the assertion that there are two sides to the question and
denounced him as an unsafe leader of his people. Buih sides are represented
by lobbyists at the capital and the name ot practically every citizen is upon
either a petition for repeal or a remonstrance.
Suggestive Questions on the Sunday School

Tomp^fance Lesson. Prov irbs xxlll:
S9-35.
Golden Text—At last It biteth like
a serpent and stingeth like an adder.
Proverbs xxili:32.
Verses 29-30—Is strong drink as a
beverage in so called moderation, good
for any body?
Do all who drink habitually receive
injury as a result?
Should alcohol be used in any form
as a medicine?
Is it safe .or prudent, for people in
good health to take intoxicating drink
as a beverage?
What classes in the community are
suffering from the drinking habit, di-rectly
and indirectly?
Why do alhletes generally abstain
from drinking when they are in train-ing
for a contest?
What are the signs by which you
can nearly always tell a drinking
man ?
Verses 31-32—What evil is likely to
result if any, when a good man, who
does not drink, stands at the bar and
"looks" on, while his companions are
drinking?
What can you say of a man who will
not drink himself but treats others?
How would you characterize a tem-perance
man who votes for a man, or
a party, pledged to support the liquor
traffic?
How many evils can you trace to
strong nrinit?
Think of all the popular habits that
tend to evil, and compare them with
the evils of the drink habit, and say
which h®t)it is the greater curse to
the nation?
What is the fascination which draws
so many thousands of victims to the
drink habit?
If the country towns and cities,
were overrun with “serpents and "ad-ders.”
which were biting and causing
the death of thousands, what steps
would likely be taken to eradicate the
plague?
Seeing that all practically admit
that the evils of the liquor traffic, are
more virulent than "serpents” and “ad-ders”
could be, how do you explain
the apathy of the nation in getting rid
of this monster evil? (This question
must be answered in writing by mem-bers
of the club.)
Verse 33—Does licentiousness, and
impurity of thought, generally accom-pany
the appetite for strong drink, as
this verse seems to suggest?
Verses 34-35—Does drinking always
produce moral, as well as physical,
anaesthesia, deadening the soul to the
foulest crimes?
Mon under the influence of alcohol
are often grievously hurt, sometimes
almost frozen to death, and are uncon-scious
of the hurt at the time, and
when they get better keep on drink-ing.
How do you account for it?

falling against the stone dog in the
yard and breaking off his tail?”
“Indeed, I didn’t do dut, mum,” re-sponded

RIVAS. FOR
STEEL TRUST.
The Independent Manufacturers Said
to be Combining with Millions
upon Millions of Capital.
M W. GATES TO Bt ENGINEER IKCHARGE.
Another steel octopus, one that will be a real rival of the United States
Steel Corporation, is in prospect, backed by some of the strongest interests in
the country to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars.
J. Pierpont Morgan, who so successfully carried the United States Steel
Corporation through its organization, has been appealed to perform a like
service for the new enterprise, but has declined because of the great amount
of work, and his advanced age. In his stead John W. Gates has taken up
the plan, and is backed up by officials and leaders in the steel trade who ex-plained
what had been done.
While all information has been guarded it is learned that the companies
mthe big merger are the Lackawanna Steel Company at Buffalo; the Bethle-hem
Steel Company, Charles M. Schwab’s concern, the Cambria Steel Com-pany
at Johnstown, the Maryland Steel Company at Sparrow Point, Md ,
and the Jones & Laughlin Steel Company, of Pittsburg.

No Reason For It.
When Mount Pleasant Citizens Show
the Certain Way Out.
There can be no just reason why any
reader of this will coutinue to sutler the
tortures of an aching back, the annoy-ance
of urinary disorders, thedangersof
diabetes or any kidney ills when relief
is so near at hand and the most positive
proof given tbat they can be cured:
Read what a Mount Pleasant citizen says:
H. B. Pershing, retired, 600 Church
street, Mount Pleasant, Pa., says: “I
used Doan's Kidney Pills and was re-lieved
of mnch lameness across the small
of the back. My kidneys were very
weak and the secretions were irregular
in passsage, causing me a great deal of
annoyance. The most painful symptom
of my trouble, however, was the severe
backache and lumbigo. If I attempted
to stoop or lift sharp pains would, shoot
through my back and I had so little am-bition
that I was unable to accomplish
my ordinary duties. I had seen Doan’s
Kidney Pills recommended by responsi-ble
parties and I decided to try them.
1 procured a box at Chas. L. Kuhn's
drug store and I can say that this reme-dy
had given me more relief than any
other I have ever used. 1 heartily rec-ommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills."

Mount Pleasant has within its borders a population of over
6,000; while more than double that number of people live immedi-ately
around about and for them it is the natural center, as shown by
a postoffice distribution of over 16,000. It has both Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio railroad branches and will soon be given the
main line of the Coke Region Trolley System. It is completely sur-rounded
by coke plants and has in the town Bryce Brothers Company’s
big tableware glass factory, Acme Lumber and Supply Company,
Anchor Glass Factory. Searchlight Manufacturing Company’s stove
plant, the Mount Pleasant Tool Company, Husband Company’s plan-ingmill,
Galley Bros.’carriage factory, foundry, brewery, distillery,
pop plant, two flouring mills, 13 Protestant and 3 Catholic churches.
Mount Pleasant Institute, 2 large Public Schools and 3 Parochial
schools.
There is coal in abundance at the town’s gates and the same is
true of electricity and natural gas for heat, light and power. All of
which things, when taken In connection with the best water system
in Western Pennsylvania, make Mount Pleasant’s numerous manu-facturing
sites ideal.

DEATH TO KIDNAPERS!
One week ago today “Billy,' the 8-
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James P.
Whitla, of Sharon, Pa., was taken away
from school by kidnapers who not only
demanded $10,000 but are said to have
"been paid that sum before they put the
boy on a street car in Cleveland, Ohio,
Mondayevening, and sent him, safe and
sound, to the arms of the all but pros-trated
father waiting at the Hollender
Hotel, that city. God alone knows the
agony the parents suffered during these
'four days.
Hon. Edward F. James, of Luzerne
county, has introduced a bill in the Leg-islature
to make kidnaping a capital
crime instead of one for life imprison-ment
and that body has ordered a reward
of $15,000 lor the arrest and conviction
of those who stole ‘•Billy’' Whitla whose
father, it is said, agreed not to prosecute.
The Cleveland police believe they
have arrested the guilty parties, a man
and a woman, as they got $9,790 hidden
under the latter’s skirts.
The new bill and the reward are both
excellent steps to take to stop this hor-rible
crime in Pennsylvania; but, the
state should go still further and pledge
itself to hunt down this class of crimi-nals
no difference what the cost might be.
Death to kidnapers!
Scottdale, Pa.
THE PAYNE TARIFF BILL.
The main features of the Payne tariff
bill now before the special session of
Congress called by President Taft are
these:
Steel schedules are cut by an average
ol 50 per cent.
Iron ore is placed on free list.
Taxes on beer and whiskey are not
changed.
Hides are removed to the free list.
Tea has tariff of 8 cents per pound
imposed.
Lumber is cut generally 50 per cent. •
Refined sugar duty is reduced 5 cents
per hundredweight.
Works of art, more than 20 years old,
arc put on free list.
Coffee remains on free list with coun-tervailing
duty against countries impos-ing
imposing export tax.
Wools are unchanged, except reduc-tion
on carpet yarns and shoddy.
New York law is followed on collat-eral
inheritances, 5 per cent on estates
over $500.
Printing paper is reduced about 55
per cent.
Window glass, large sizes, is increased.
The majority Republican party is
pledged to revise the tariff; but, when the
vast and diversified interests of this
country are considered, not a few of
them being antagonistic from a tariff
standpoint, no one will envy the G. O.
P. while doing the work. Changes are,
of course, liable to be made in different
rates, although revision must be made
and the sooner the new law is enacted,
with a due regard for revenues, the bet-ter
it will be for the country as a whole.
STEEL TRUST REPORT.
The annual report of the United States
Steel Corporation has just been made
public and shows that for the year end-ing
December 31, 1908, gross receipts of
$482,307,840 were earned, a decrease of
$274,706,927 from the preceding year.
The net earnings of the corporation were
$91,847,711, a decrease of $69,116,863
from the year of 1907.
The report further shows that $16,965,-
181 was appropriated for depreciation,
replacement and extinguishment funds,
together with sinking funds on bonds of
subsidiary companies, which is a de-crease
of $10,754,563 from 1907. The in-terest
on bonds outstanding and sinking
funds of the corporation was $29,247,851,
an increase of $1,250,001 over the previ
ous year.
No sums were set aside during the
year for additional construction, against
$54,000,000 in 1907. The surplus for the
year after the payment of interest
l
charges, dividends, appropriations and
all other charges was $10,342,986, a de-crease
of $4,836,851 from 1907.
This report, judged by that for two
years ago, is poor, indeed, and yet that
this giant combinatron has stood up all
right under the test of well on to two
years of severe industrial depression is
proof of stability and good management
that should not be lost sight of by its
great army of stockholders.
STATE DEPARTMENT OF MINES.
A bill has been presented in the Leg-islature
by Representative Charles Bent-ley,
of Washington county, creating a
Department of Mines to be operated by
a Commissioner of Mines to be appoint-ed
every four years by the Governor,
and to receive $6,000 per year. The ap
plicant far the position is to have had
10 years’ experience as a miner and have
the qualifications of a mine inspector.
This bill is supplemented by another
provision allowing a Chief Mine Inspec-tor
of the bituminous district. His sal-ary
is to be $4,500 per year and the ten-ture
of office four years. His selection
is to be made from among the ten mine
inspectors receiving the highest grades
at the last mine inspection examination'
He is to be stationed at Pittsburg.
Pennsylvania’s mining interests are
worthy of.a state department; but, to es-tablish
suih an institution in times like
the present smacks too much like mak
ing a lot of fat jobs solely for political
purposes.

quenco a stop lias been put to the

ural result that pure linseed oil has

ear, which was selected at random,
yielded at the rate of 72.7 bushels per
acre, while that from the better ear j
produced at the rate of 99.5 bushels
per acre. There should lie n sugges-tion
here for every corn grower who
may have been careless in the selec-tion
of his seed ears. The test re-ferred

any farmer can make a similar test in

A render of these notes living on an
irrigated ranch or farm In the Boise
valley. Idaho, having rend a recent ar-ticle
in these columns under tlie head-ing
of “Three Propositions,’’ which ap-peared
a few weeks ago, writes, giv-ing
somewhat In detail the conditions
under which farming is carried on in
that section. With 900 days of sun-shine
and no zero weather, they are
able to carry on practically all kinds
of farming that are followed In the
Mississippi valley. Alfalfa Is the
chief crop, the raising of which,
our correspondent snys, is more like
manufacturing than farming, with
sunshine always available and water
at one’s command. Five tons of hay
per acre Is tile usual yield, the crop
fetching $4.50 per ton in the slack and
being fed mostly to sheep. Wheat on
alfalfa sod produces from fifty to six-ty
bushels per acre and oats seventy
to ninety bushels under ihe same con-ditions.
Both cereals sell at $1.50 per
hundredweight. Fruit growers In the
section raise apples, peaches, pears, j
apricots, dew and black berries, ns
well ns all kinds of vegetables. Land
with fair Improvements, callable of
producing the above crops, is worth
$100 per acre, while orchards are val-ued
at from $500 per acre up. Our ■
friend closes his interesting letter
with the further pertinent and orig-inal
observation that the “school and
church facilities are ns good as in
Town (his former home), and the
country Isn’t wooley.” Should any
reader wish to learn more of this
Boise country we would lie glad to

A reader of these notes living in
Erie county, N. Y., writes asking for
a repetition of the directions given
some weeks ago for removing stumps
by the use of acids. Since there may
be some other readers who have for-gotten
the details we will restate them
in brief. Bore a hole two inches in
diameter and to a depth of about two
feet in the center of the stump, and
Into this pour a pint of a mixture of
concentrated nitric and sulphuric
acids. Plug up the hole with a ping
previously coated with paraffin, which
will prevent the add attacking It. The
farmer who tried this method says il
will eat up the stump, roots and all.
within thirty days. If this time was
required for pine stumps a somewhat
longer period would lie needed for the
hardwood stumps.
Ono of the immense advantages
which the farmer in the irrigation dis-tricts
of the west has over his fellows
farther east is that he lias almost con-tinuous
sunshine during the growing
season, while the moisture needed for
the maturing of the crops can he
turned on at pleasure. Particularly is
this true in case of the growing of hay
and small grains, as the uninterrupted
fine dry weather gives ideal conditions
for the maturing as well ns the har-vesting
and securing of the crops.
The French people do not increase
in numbers as fast as some foes of
race suicide would like, yet when it
comes to wealth they make an excep-tional
showing. The value of their
property, as evidenced in the form of
holdings available for taxation, is
placed at $45,000,000,000, or $1,100 for
every person in the republic. This re-markable
showing is the result chiefly
of an intelligent and intensive tillage
of the soil, coupled with prudent and
thrifty management, and wise invest-ment
of earnings.

the damage from rust, this smut loss
can be absolutely prevented wherever
the farmer will take the pains to treat
Ids seed oats with n formalin solution,

The enormous growth of weeds
which quite often infest central west-ern
farms and sap the soil of ueeded
fertility are the well nigh unavoidable
accompaniment of a type of extensive
fanning In which so much land is
farmed that It can only tie half done
with the help that is available. About
the only thing that will bring about a

In a river or lake region, of which

to seek the lion along the water's

of a large herd of wildebeests (a

If lions are not discovered In the

Mr. Abel Chapman, noted African
hunter and explorer, in Ids latest
book, "On Safari," describes an excit-ing
Uganda Hon drive and Its results
In part as follows;
“I was on the left of the line of
‘guns,’ facing the lake. I was lying
hidden in long grass about loo yards
from the covert, and the noisy lino of

saying: ‘Bee! Two llonsl You no

were not easy to detect, so low and
stealthy was their advance. As the
lions wore completely inclosed, I
would not risk the uncertain shot they
now offered. At a point exactly on
my front the two beasts lay down in
two green bushes that grew within a
dozen yards of each other beneath the
last straggling trees.
"Hardly hud this Incident occurred
than we became aware, by a chorus
of discordant yells from the beaters,
Some of whom we could see rushing
out of the woods, that they had come
across something Inside that was not
quite to their taste. The word ‘sim-ba'
(lion) predominated, and at once
the three 'guns’ on my right, includ-ing
my brother, dashed toward the
point indicated. Having two lions In
front of me, I remained quietly where
1 was, beckoned to my left hand
neighbor, told him what I had seen
and arranged that he should advance
from the left while I weut straight in
to the lions In front.
“At twenty yards distance it seemed
impossible that so large a beast as a

bush without my seeing it. They

Deep ravines are n favorite shelter

For Instance, If a herd of grazing an-telopes
Is divided, the divisions feeding
on both sides of an open stretch of fa-vorable
ground, they often find that
the open space Is a zone through
which a lion’s scent is blowing, denot-ing
the beast’s close presence to wind-ward.
Mounted Somnll warriors are
often used to scout the rolling country
for lion tracks.

animosity to mounted men, arising
probably from I he advantage given by
the 'horse’s speed. They will attack
mounted men when unmolested and
when the circumstances would war-rant
their avoiding unmounted men
until attacked. Itooently a few miles
uorth of Lake Isolt, which Mr. Roose-velt
will pass, a Hon sprang frhm a
clump of bushes upon a mounted Eng-lish
army officer and a companion,
threw the oflioer and his pony to the
ground, breaking the pony's back, and
then killed the other man, tearing
away his face. The Englishman killed
the lion with two hollow pointed lead
slugs from a 40 Express.
Hunters often trace lions by means’
of the musky odor of places where tiie
beasts have stayed for a period, but
sometimes they are aggravatingly de-ceived
by an aromatic shrub that fills
the air with an odor practically indis-tinguishable
from lion scent.
As a lion when unable to finish its
prey at one meal often returns to It
the following day, tills habit is some-times
taken advantage of when a
freshly killed animal hearing a lion’tt
marks is discovered. A trap gun is
set, arranged by attaching a piece of
string to the trigger of an ordinary
rifle in such a way that the lion in at-tempting
to reach its anticipated meal
strikes the connection, causing the ri-fle
to go off. The gun is arranged so
that the lion will invariably receive its
contents. While the trap gun rarely
kills the game, it gives notice V* the
hunters ttud wounds the beast.

My nickel clocks are worth a dol-lar;
there are nickel clocks sold that
are dear at seventy-live cents. Mine

stops to see if you turn over for an-anolher
snooze. I hen it begins again,
and the "Intermittent” keeps up this
