nttti fHiiMWiti Jfontiut ♦ VOL. 34. MOUNT PLEASANT, WE8TMORELAND COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 85, 1909. NO 12. WIFI WORK 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 sarcophagas now being -built under the sanctuary of the church. The vestry and congregation unanimously expressed their wish that the interment and last resting place of their former rector be in the church. New City Hall Plans. Council held a special meeting Tuesday night to consider the plans for the new city hall as submitted by the building committee.

In court at Uniontown Friday Solomon Chambers, steward of one of the clubs at Fayette City raided last November 10, was sentenced to pay costs and a fine of $100 on a liquor charge. There were 17 arrests at the time but all were discharg-ed except the club stewards. 1 One case was tried and a verdict of guilty return-ed. Chambers entered a plea. Cole Gets otf Easy.

HORRIBLE FATE. Aged Hempfield Township Woman Burned to Death Thursday. Mrs. Hannali Earnest Blank, aged 71, wife of Michael G. Blank, a farmer of Hempfield township, was burned to death early last Thursday morning when her clothing ignited from an exploding lamp.

Items of Interest Gathered from Both Mine and Yard. The coke trade is duller, although there is practically no change in this district as the Frick plants in operation continue to make five days a week. Now it is said that practically all the independent coke operators in the Con-nellsville region are preparing to form a merger with 110 of the 192 plants, ag-gregating 14,522 ovens, or a total of 17,- 547 ovens if the ten Rainey plants with 3,025 ovens should go along in the'n*iw combine. The H. C. Frick Company, one of the United States Steel Corpora-tion’s concerns, has /2 plants and a total of 20,660 ovens. It is also said on good authority that J. V. Thompson’s coal holdings will be taken into the new combine. The Isabella Connellsville Coal & Coke Company of West Virginia, capitalized at $7,000,000, has just been chartered by that state. The company is composed principally of Uniontown persons, the five incorporators named in tile char-ter being George D. Howell, M. A. Allen, W. J. Sturgis, Uniontown, and Stuart F. Reed and Houston G. Young,Charleston. The Pittsburg and Westmoreland Coal Company, operatingextensively in Wash-ington county, has booked an order for 900,000 tons of coal for lake delivery the coming spring and summer. To fill the order all the concern’s mines in the county will resume operation just as soon as they can be put into condition- The production of coal in the Ninth Bituminous Coal District of Pennsylva-nia in 1908, according to the annual re-port of Mine Inspector Thomas D. Will-iams. of Connellsville, was 3,152,599 tons less than in 1907, while the produc-tion of coke fell off 2,053,202 tons. Employes of the Keystone Coal & Coke Company, of Greensburg, have or-ganized a mining inslitute, with the fol-lowing officers: President, William Nes-bitt; vice president, Harry Atherton; secretary, Jacob Kurtz; treasurer, John D. Wentling. Various phases of mining will be studied, SIGN OF THE CROSS. Items of Special Interest to the Local Church Goers. Rev. George P.

U., presented a bean- • tiful picture of each of these workers to the board of directors, to be placed in the new High School building.

All told, the visit cost “Louie’’ less than $15. Good Local News. The Bryce Brothers Company is pre-paring to resume operations in full with 28 pots at its big East End glass plant.

THS MOUNT PLEASANT JOURNAL, THURSDAY, M'ROH 2fi 1<>< P WEST NEWTON EXERCISED 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 Lesson by Rev. Dr. Linscott for the International Newspaper Bible Study Club. March 28th, 1909. (Copyright, 1908, by Rev. T. S. Linscott, D.D.) 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? Lesson for Sunday, April 4th, 1909. —Peter and Cornelius. Acts x: 1-48. Held Fast.

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.

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.

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. THURSDAY, March 25 1909 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.

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 furnish the address of our correspond-ent. heefi said and written touching Ihe Importance of a thorough preparation of Iho seed lied which will enable the roots to go deep for moisture and great care In cultivating the growing plants to prevent a disturbance of the roots that lie within a few Inches of tlie surface.

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 grim doalli roll of the jungle beasts Is no respecter of persons. All the nskuris (trained native hunters lof the safari, or expedition) are usu-ally called into active service in lion •talking or lion driving, for the speed, .strength, resisting powers, ferocity and resourcefulness of the jungle tnou-rch render necessary all the opposi-tion that can be mustered. In a river or lake region, of which Ithere are many in Uganda, it is custom-ary to seek the lion along the water's ledge early in the morning, where be 'attacks the various kinds of antelopes iwhen they come down to drink. Tne curious spectacle Is hero often pre-sented of a large herd of wildebeests (a species of gnu) being led to water by a graceful, shapely hartbeest. The wilde-jbeost is an inferior animal and knows 'it and regularly secures the fleeter, sharper cared and eyed hartbeest to guide herds to the water at sunrise find sunset. The wildebeests assemble at a certain spot on the plain, and at ithe proper time the pilot steps off in the lead, ns proud and as conscious as a much epanictod colonel on dress pa-rade. If lions are not discovered In the reed and flag beds (tinga-tiaga) along the river, and there is reasonable cer-tainty that they are in the immediate vicinity, a drive is organized in the fol-lowing manner: The asltaris and such other natives as have been brought along, equipped with their native mu-cal instruments—drums and tomtoms, upplemented by biscuit tins and jstlcks, gourds filled with stones, etc.— ;spread out in a long line, say half or (three-quarters of a mile distant.

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 beaters lmd already approached with-in half u ndle when ray Somali gun bearer, 101ml Ilassan, who was lying besido me, pointed Into the woods, saying: ‘Bee!

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 lion could still be lying in so small a bush without my seeing it.

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.

VOL. 34. MOUNT PLEASANT, WE8TMORELAND COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 85, 1909.
NO 12.
WIFI WORK
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
sarcophagas now being -built under the
sanctuary of the church. The vestry and
congregation unanimously expressed
their wish that the interment and last
resting place of their former rector be in
the church.
New City Hall Plans.
Council held a special meeting Tuesday
night to consider the plans for the new
city hall as submitted by the building
committee. The sketch, submitted by
Architect Harman, of Uniontown, and
approved by Council, calls for a pressed
brick two-story structure, 60x38 feet,
with basement. On the first floor are
office of the Burgess, voting booths and
hose house and on the second floorCoun-cil
chambers, committee and firemen's
rooms.
Fayette Club Steward Fined.
In court at Uniontown Friday Solomon
Chambers, steward of one of the clubs at
Fayette City raided last November 10,
was sentenced to pay costs and a fine of
$100 on a liquor charge. There were 17
arrests at the time but all were discharg-ed
except the club stewards. 1 One case
was tried and a verdict of guilty return-ed.
Chambers entered a plea.
Cole Gets otf Easy.
Frank Cole, charged with the murder
•of William Sanders at Mount Braddock,
was convicted on a charge of voluntary
manslaughter under instructions from
the Fayette court Friday and was prompt-ly
sentenced by Judge J. Q. Van Swear-sngen
to serve two years in the peni-tentiary.

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.
HORRIBLE FATE.
Aged Hempfield Township Woman Burned
to Death Thursday.
Mrs. Hannali Earnest Blank, aged 71,
wife of Michael G. Blank, a farmer of
Hempfield township, was burned to
death early last Thursday morning when
her clothing ignited from an exploding
lamp. She was so terribly burned that
she was dead before other members of
the family could reach her.
Mrs. Blank had been indisposed and
at 1 o'clock that morning arose and car-rying
a lamp went into the living room
to take some medicine. Robert Blank,
an 11-ycar-old grandson, was awakened
by the explosion and rushing to the first
floor found his grandmother lying on
the floor, her clothing and the room on
fire. The countryside was awakened by
the ringing of the farm bell and neigh-bors
extinguished the flames which
threatened the house. Mrs. Blank was a
life long resident of Hempfield township
and a member of the Lutheran church.
Besides her husband, she leaves eight
children.
BIG CHANGES

COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest Gathered from Both Mine

The coke trade is duller, although
there is practically no change in this
district as the Frick plants in operation
continue to make five days a week.
Now it is said that practically all the
independent coke operators in the Con-nellsville
region are preparing to form
a merger with 110 of the 192 plants, ag-gregating
14,522 ovens, or a total of 17,-
547 ovens if the ten Rainey plants with
3,025 ovens should go along in the'n*iw
combine. The H. C. Frick Company,
one of the United States Steel Corpora-tion’s
concerns, has /2 plants and a total
of 20,660 ovens. It is also said on good
authority that J. V. Thompson’s coal
holdings will be taken into the new
combine.

last Wednesday took his wife home from
the local lioepital where she spent three
weeks following a very severe operation
for appendicitis, informs THE JOURNAL
that he is more than pleased not only
with the work of the surgeons but with

It was confidently expected Receiver
Murray would this month declare an-other
dividend of 10 per cent, in favor
of the creditors of the defunct Farmers

Pleasant; but, unavoidable delays in
closing up sales of assets will defer the
declaration until April.
LOCAL W. C. I. U.
CIVES A VERY
NICE RECEPTION

WELL ARRANGED PROGRAM.

the Bank and Trust Company Building
Saturday evening, in honor of the prin-cipal,
teachers and directorsof the Monnt
Pleasant Pnblic Schools.
Mrs. A. F. Keister, of Scottdale, connty
superintendent of scientific temperance
instruction, was introduced by the pres-ident,
Mrs. G. W. Stoner, and, after read-ing
the law on this subject, gave an ex-cellent
address on the importance of
teaching the children the eftects of stim-ulants
and narcotics on the human sys-tem.
She expressed her gratification that
this subject is so well taught in Mount
Pleasant.
Miss Anna Edwards, local superin-tendent
of scientific temperance instruc-tion,
paid a glowing tribute to the mem-ory
of Miss Frances E. Willard and Mrs.
Mary A. Hunt, the latter having been a
leader in securing the enactment of laws
requiring that these subjects be taught
in the public schools; and, in behalf of
the local W . C, T. U., presented a bean- •
tiful picture of each of these workers to
the board of directors, to be placed in

Prof. Gordy received the pictures with
expressions of appreciation, saying that
he and the teachers would be glad to
tell the children of the life and work of
these noble women, He also explained
how these subjects are taught in the
schools, orally in the first three grades
and after that with a text book.
After singing ''America,'1 refreshments
were served and a social hour followed.
ONLY WHAT HE NEEDED.
A Thief Makes a Few Selections at Louis
Levinson’s Store Sunday Night.
Another considerate local thief visited
the Main street clothing and shoe store’
of Louis Levinson some time Sunday
night as he took but a few of the many
things that were piled in profusion be-fore
him once he had jimmied the rear
cellar window and the door at the head
of the stairs leading from the basement
to the main storeroom.
The caller was evidently going away
as two suit cases, a pair of shoes and a
few neckties were all that turned up
missing when one of the clerks opened
up the store Monday morning. All told,
the visit cost “Louie’’ less than $15.
Good Local News.
The Bryce Brothers Company is pre-paring
to resume operations in full with
28 pots at its big East End glass plant.
Despite the business depression of the
past 18 months, this company has made
a good showing all the time and never
missed paying every Saturday with real
money.
Grief Stricken Father.
Grief over the death of his four chd-dren
in a fire which destroyed his home
near Dunbar January 27 last is alleged
to have caused A. M. Kendall to attempt
suicide by swallowing laudanum Sunday
evening. Quick work by physicians
saved his life. For weeks Mr. Kendall
has been suffering from nervous break-down.
Mill Property Sold.
The Monnt Pleasant Milling Company
has just closed a deal disposing of its
big plant on North Diamond street to the

WEST NEWTON
EXERCISED
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
Lesson by Rev. Dr. Linscott for the
International Newspaper Bible Study Club.
March 28th, 1909.
(Copyright, 1908, by Rev. T. S. Linscott, D.D.)
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?
Lesson for Sunday, April 4th, 1909.

The old Eskimo lit a cup of walrus

“Yes, pa,” answered the Eskimo
belle timidly.
“Well, I want you to cut him out.

frozen to the snow sol toe, and you'll
have to cut him out with an ax.”—St.

From the Jonesville Monitor.
A “Young Mother” asks ns onr opin-ion
of “the alleged injurious effects of
rocking on babies.”
We must frnnkly say that we con-sider
it a brutal practice. As the fa-ther
of a great many babies of all ages,
we never rocked fin any of them Inten-tionally,
and we would probably be
arrested If we expressed our full opin-ion
of any woman who would presume
to do so.—Llppincott’s Magazine.
Village Courtship.
“Mandy,” said the lovesick Hiram as
he twitched the wax flowers nervously,
“won't you lie mine? 1 swan! It feels
like m.v heart la coming through.”
“Gracious!” exclaimed Mandy appre-hensively.
“I reckon I’ll have to. Not
only your heart is coming through, but
we have been courting so long two of
the sofa springs are coming through.”

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."

Bad Breath.
A well-known physician, who
undoubtedly knows, declares that
had breath lias broken oft more
matches than had temper.
There are ardent
lovers who must
sometimes wish
their sweethearts
presented sweeter
mouths to be kissed.
Good teeth cannot
prevent bad breath
when the stomach is
disordered.
The best cure for
bad breath is a
cleansing out of the
body by use of
Lane’s Family
Medicine
(called also Lane’s Tea)
the tonic laxative.
This is a herb medicine, sold in
25c. and 50c. packages by drug-gists.

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.
