POLICE DRAG
NET CATCHES
FOUR THIEVES
Who had Committed at Least
as Many Local Burglaries
THE QUARTETTE ARE ALL MERE BOYS
SUT THEY DID THEIR WORK IN A
CLEVER MANNER.
In the Gang1 Captured are Clyde
Sutnmey, George Gilchrist and
Eben Shumar, White, and Thomas
Saulsberry, Colored. They Admit
Their Guilt to the Officers who Re-cover
Quite a Lot of Goods That
Had Been Stolen from Mount Pleas
ant Stores and Hidden Away in a
Number of Places,
After some ten days’ faithful but
quiet detective work Burgess Collins
had his police force close in on a gang
-of local thieves Monday, the result be
ing the arrest of four mere boys—
Clyde Summey, George Gilchrist and
Eben Shumar, white, and Tom Sauls-berry,
a colored lad—and the recovery
of a big pile of goods that had been
taken recently from Mount Pleasant
merchants.
As soon as the lads were arrested they
were placed in the lockup and it didn't
require much “sweating" to induce them
Jo admit much of their guiit and to tell
where a lot of their plunder was hidden.
The cops were kept busy the better
part of the day gathering the loot up and
bringing it to the leckup where it made
the front compartment look not a little
like an up-to-date department store.
Here were tools and automobile supplies
taken a month or more ago from the
Feagley factory on North Church street.
Then came furs and ladies' furnishings
stolen from the Fair two weeks ago. Here
were piled suit cases and men's furnish-ings
stolen from the Louis Levinson
store last Sunday night week and there
was a heap of canned goods, smoking
tobacco and the like that W. H. Miller,
the South Church street grocer, had
taken early last Thursday night by three
of the gang while young Shumar stood
out on the street to give timely warning
of danger. Some of the swag was found
concealed about the homes of the boys'
respected and unsuspecting parents and
some under the old Second Baptist church
on Easf Washington street.
The prisoners were given a hearing
Monday evening before Justice Hunter
•who held all four for court, fixing bail
tor each at $500. Young Shumar was
released on giving security to that
amount, but his three little pals were
taken at once to jail at Greensburg.
There were touching scenes in the lockup
when parents and close relatives called
Jo say goodby. One good old man, with
tears streaming down his wrinkled face,
told of how he would rather have fol-lowed
to their graves two of the boys
who were his grandchildren.
COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest Gathered from Both Mine
and Yard.
Another little slump hit the region
the past week, the Frick company blow-ing
out 700 ovens which in this district
put the Alice and Tarr plants out, took
50 from Hecla and 16 from Buckeye.
There is also talk about today bringing
a reduction in wages, but the rumor
lacks confirmation.
One encouraging sign of future im-provement
in the coke business is to be
found in the order the Frick people
have given their Everson shops for 1,150
mine wagons.
J. V. Thompson, ol Uniontown, has
just added 11,000 acres to his already
large coal holdings in Harrison county,
W. Va., the consideration being $1,-
500,000.
The examinations for mine foremen
and tire bosses in the Ninth Bituminous
District will be held on the top floor of
the First National Bank building, Con-nellsville,
on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, April 6, 7, 8 and
9. The last day will be for fire boss cer-tificates.
Assistant General Manager Clay F.
Lynch, Assistant to the Chief Engineer
T. W. Dawson, Mine Inspectors Austin
I King and Edward O'Toole, of the H. C.
iFrick Coke Company, have arrived home
from a few weeks' trip through England
and Wales in the interests of the com-pany
they represent.
Independent coke operators, controll-ing
seven plants, are said to have option-ed
their holdings Monday to the promot-ers
of the new $60,000,000 combine.

A SAD SHOOTING ■
That Cost Little Frank Hays His Life at
Confluence.
The particulars of the accident that
cost Fmnk B. Hays, 15-year-old son of
William F. Hays, former taxcollector in
East Huntingdon township, his life at
his father's Park Hotel at Confluence
last Sunday afternoon, of which mention
was made in these columns last week,
are particularly sad. He had gone to
Sunday school and church that forenoon
and, following dinner, went up to the
room of his older brother, John, whose
revolver he picked up, believing it was
unloaded. The housekeeper, Mrs. Hos-tetler
and her son, Fleming, who were
with him, do not know just how it hap-pened;
for, as the victim turned the
weapon as if to look down the barrel,
the shot was fired and Frankie fell to the
floor dead, the bullet having pierced the
brain through the left eye. On Tuesday
the body was taken to Uniontown and
laid close by the side of that of his
mother who died when he was but nine
months old. He knew little of thal
mother's love, but the loss as far as it was
possible was made up by the affection ol
his good old grandmother, Mrs. Esther
Hays, of near Ruffsdale, and a lovine
aunt and uncle. They raised him and he
had left them the day before the tragedy
to visit his father, with whose tears
theirs were mingled in their almost
heart-breaking grief.
Beautiful toiler, thy work is done,
Beautiful soul into glory gone;
Beautiful life with its crown now won,
God giveth thee rest.
Rest from all sorrows, and watching
and fear;
Rest from all possible sighing and
tears.
Rest through God's endless wonderful
years
At home with the blest.
It was so sudden, our white lips said,
How we shall miss him, the beautiful
dead,
Who'll take the place of the precious
one fled;
But God knoweth best.
We know He watches the sparrows
that fall;
Hears the sad cry of the grieved hearts
that call,
Friends, father, brother, He loveth
them all;
We can trust for fhe rest.
Fayette Jnstice.
A term of four years to the peniten-tiary
was the sentence meted out in the
Fayette county criminal court at Union-town

breaking and entering, larceny and re-ceiving
stolen goods, and then testified

years, was found dead in a chicken coop
in the grounds surrounding his dwelling

Presbyterian churches at Greens-burg.
The Rev. F. P Rosselot and the Rev.

‘Johnny’’ Takes “Curly” VanHor*

of the Deal, is Run Down There
and is Now in Jail at Greensburg
Awaiting Trial of a Charge of La»-
ceny by Bailee. Frank K. Mc-
Cracken Also Arrested for Having
Vouched for Stauffer to Clinter.
John B. Stauffer, a well know*
young man here who is separated from
his wife and family, was arrested i*
Pittsburg early Saturday morning and
is now in jail at Greensburg awaiting
trial of having sold a hired horse and
buggy.
“Johnny," as everybody calls young
Stauffer, went to Samuel W. Keller, the
East End liveryman, Monday morning
and asked to hire a rig for the day ie
order to distribute samples of goods over
about Jone* Mills. Mr. Keller, as his
bill against Staufter for hire was then $8,
at first refused; but, finally whem
“Johnny" pleaded for the chance to make
$60 on the trip, he was given the rig o«
promising to pay on his refnrn $5, te
which the old account was redneed, and
$2 for the day's hire, a total of $7 te
square the account.
It seems, however, that young Stanffer
went direct to Connellsville where he
disposed of the team to William Clin-ter,
proprietor of a second 1 and stove
on Water street, for $100. Mr. Clinter
paid only $20 down, agreeing lo-pay the
other $80 when Stauffer had some one
vouch for him. Staufter came here and
had Frank E. McCracken go down along
the next day and subscribe to statement
on which Staufter got the balance of the
$100. McCracken says he only vouched
for Staufter's idenity, although he was
arrested Saturday and held under $20*
bail as an accessory. Staufter then re-turned
here and took “Cn-ley” Van Horn
along to Pittsburg to properly celebrate
his improved financial condition.
Mr. Keller had in the meantime got
both anxious and busy with the tele-phone
trying to locate his missing prop-erty.
On Friday he got a tip that took
him to Connellsville where he soon
found his team af the livery stable of J.
L. Evans where Mr. Clinter was keeping
it. He had no trouble convincing the
purchaser that the outfit was his and
came home with it at 8 o'clock that eve-ning.
Before midnight he had Stanffer
arrested by Pittsburg detectives. Con-stable
Ellis and Policeman Stevens went
in and brought out the prisoner whs
later in the day was taken to jail.
The prosecution of young McCracken
has been dropped as it was shown all he
did was to identify Stauffer.
Staufter was also discharged yesterday
upon payment of all costs and the return
to Clinter of the $100 he paid for the
outfit
EVIDENTLY YOUNG THIEVES
JudgingFrom Their Work m W. H. Milles'e
Store Thursday Evening.
When W. H. Miller, after attending a
session of Odd Fellows lodge Thursday
evening, dropped around to see if every-thing
was snug for the night at hi*
Church street grocery store before going
home, he was mad to find the alley door
open, supposing the clerks had forgotten
to close it. He changed his mind, how-ever,
when he saw an open trap door
back of the couuter. Thieves had been
there, having gotten in through a broken
cellar window, and they were likely
driven away by the noise he made open-ing
the front door.
The visitors were evidently boys as
they took a lot of cigarets, smoking to-bacco
and had pulled a dozen or more
bananas off a bunch and left them on the
counter. They got but a few dimes and
pennies in the money drawer as one at
the clerks had taken the cash receipts
ol the day home with her.
Council’s Unpleasant Dnty.
Council has been compelled to raise
borough taxes from 7 to 9 mills this
year in order to make ends meet. The
town, during the past few years, has been
running behind until now this shortage
is $3,700 which, added to overdrafts of
$2,000 and loans of $2,000, makes a total
of $7,700 on the wrong side of the bor-ough
ledger.

AtSmithton Over an Attempt to Clean
out Spiritualism, Root
and Branch.
A •
HI BILLl" SAUNDERS IS TAKING *
Smithton people are up in arms against spiritualism which has taken
deep root in that Yough river hamlet. Dr. Stanley KreK who lectured
there last Monday night, exposing that belief, was threatened with violence
by the spiritualists who have since been challenged to come out into the light
by a committee on which are W. M. Saunders, a local hotel man, and M. S.
Shnpe, an M. E. Sunday school superintendent. Mr. Saunders formerly
taught school here, but now conducts a licensed hotel at Smithton.
* There are in Smithton three women mediums, two of whom are known
as communicative mediums and the other a slate writer, as well as a man,
who poses as a trance medium. The committee was appointed by a young
men’s Bible class organized by Messrs. Shupe and Saunders.

Verses 1-8—Was a devout Roman

Can you give any reason to-day why
God is not us well pleased with a de-vout
Roman Catholic, as he is with a
devout Protestant, or vice versa?
What reason is there for or against
the idea, that revelations and visions
were given to devout men of all na-tions
In those days, as well as the
Jews?
Verses 9-16—Is It wise and profit-able
to have certain set times for
prayer, or is it better to be always in
the spirit of prayer, and let our needs,
*r the Holy Spirit, direct as to special
times for prayer?
Are people who are not seeking for
revelations, likely to have them?
The eating of the flesh of those an-imals,
or most of them, which Peter
saw in his vision, is forbidden in Ihe
old testament; how do you account
tor it, that “the word of God,” and the
spirit of God do not agree in this case?
Peter in the first instance stuck to
his creed, and refused to obey the di-rect
voice of God; was he right, or
wrong in so doing?
Must we, in thought, be bound in all
things by the written words in the
Bible, and refuse to obey any direction
of the Holy Spirit to the contrary?
Verses 17-27—Does God blame us if
we test what we think to be revel-ations
before we act up to them?
When God gives a revelation that
is not unmistakably clear, may we de-pend
that he will arrange circum-stances,
or give another revelation to
■clear up the doubt, as in this case?
Was Cornelius reconciled to God.
or an acepted child at this time?
Verses 28-29.—Are any of the Com-mandments
of the Bible to be tested
by the teaching of Jesue, and by the
spirit of God, or must we unhesitat-ingly
obey them all, Just as they read,
without any question? (This ques-tion
must be answered ir, writing by

Verses 80-33. — If we prayed and

Does God in these days give by his

of a. man’s acceptance with God, ac-cording

According to the suggestion in verse
37, Cornelius had heard about Jesus,
his teaching, his death and resurrec-tion;
is it at all unlikely that he was
a believer in Jesus?
Verses 44-48.— What is the mean-ing

Excepting the gift of tongues, are

but I just can’t get him started.
I’m awfully worried about him.”
“I will try to stop aud see him this
afternoon. Is he in bed?”
• uu, no; NO, ne s not in bed, ana per-haps
you had better come In the even-ing
or early in the morning, because
you won’t find him at home in the
afternoon.”
“Very well. I’ll come tonight. What
seems to be the trouble? Has he
caught a bad cold?”
“No; be hasn’t any more of a cold
than it is common for most people to
have at this time of the year, 1 real-ly
don’t know what Is the matter with
him. I think you ought to give him a
thorough examination.”
“I’m sorry to hear that his health is
not good. 1 thought when 1 saw him
a few days ago that he was looking
remarkably well. When did you begin
to notice that he was not feeling
right?"
“Why, he claims that there is noth-ing
the matter with him, but of course
there must be.”
“Does he appear to be bothered by
indigestion?"
“No. lie has always been very free
from anything of that kind. You see,
lie manages to get a good deal of out-door
exercise.”
“That’s good. A man who takes
plenty of outdoor exercise really ought
to have little use for a doctor. Per-haps
the trouble is with his eyes.
Does he complain much of having
headaches ?”
“No. He never has them at all.”
“Well, does he seem to be run down
physically?"
“Not noticeably so.”
"Is he unusually nervous or Irrita-ble?”
“Oh, no; not at all. Really, do you
know, I sometimes believe he can’t
have a nerve in his body. lie Is al-ways
so placid. Nothing ever seems to
disturb him In the least.”
“A very curious case, indeed. What
has caused you to think I ought to ex-amine
him?”
“Why. he hasn't been in bed a day
or taken a drop of medicine for about
fifteen years, and I can't get it out of
my head that he ought to see a doctor
before he gets down sick. It may be
that an operation of some kind now
would save him an awfully hard time
later on.”—Chicago Record-Herald.

Anything to Oblige.
They were a very young and obvi-ously
bride-and-bridegroomish looking
couple. On entering the little tea shop
In the upper avenue the maid tactfully
led them to a private room which
chanced to be vacant. Tea was ordered
and served. As the waitress was leav-ing
the room the young man discov-ered
an important fault In the service.
“Oh, waitress,” he said, “may we
have a spoon here?”
“Sure,” said the girl. “I won’t come
back for ten minutes, and you can
have the room all to yourselves.”—

FAIR FOR
FAYETTE.
Uniontown and Masontown Citizens
are Back of the Effort Now
Being Put Forth.
ERQUHDS BETWEENMASONIQWH AHD FIVER
It is said that Fayette county will have a fair this year, with races over a
half mile track'as one of the many attractions. The grounds, on which some
£25,000 will be spent, will be between Masontown and the river where three
farms have already been optioned tor that purpose.
A stock company is being formed composed of Masontown and Union-town
men and the indications are bright for the commencement of work at
an early date.
Plans for an annual fair have been quietly discussed for some time and
the details are now being completed. Dr. M. H. Cloud, Harry Woolsey, R.
B. Hays and other Masontown people are members of the company, as well
as several Uniontown men. It is the intention to have everything in readi-ness
for the first fair the coming fall, probably in September.

A Hard Struggle.
Many a Mount Pleasant Citizen Finds
the Struggle Hard.
With a back constantly aching,
With distressing urinary disorders.
Daily existence is but a struggle.
No need to keep it up.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Monnt Pleasant people endorse this
claim.
. Mrs. M. G. Gowton, 302 Washington
street, Mount Pleasant, Pa., says: "Some
years ago the doctors said I would never
regain my health. 1 was treated at the
hospital for disordered kidneys and
suffered so terribly that I became dis-couraged.
1 was suffering from diabetes
and was in a miserable condition when
I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills at Chas.
L. Kuhn's drug store. Since using this
remedy the trouble has entirely left me
and I am now enjoying excellent health.
I feel that I owe my present freedom
from my old trouble to Doan’s Kidney
Pills."

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH
How many readers have heard of this
terrible disease? It prevails in that
far-away country—Africa—especially
the Congo district. It is caused by
the bite of the tsetse’ fly. When it
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any-thing
more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any-thing
for relief. How can we pre-vent
it? Mr. George Hayes, of
Union City, Pa., writes: “I had lost
my appetite, was all run-down, could
not sleep nights. I had tried every-thing
without relief. Vinol was rec-ommended..
and to my surprise, it
helped me at once: gave me a splendid
appetite, and now I sleep soundly.”
What Vinol did for Mr. Hayes, it will
do for every run-down, nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.

Subscription, *1.1*0 a Year. Payable In rtdyanoe.
Mount Pleasant has within its borders a population of over
5,000; 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 ofthe 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
ing mill, Galley Bros.’carriage factory, foundry, brewery, distillery,
pop plant, two flouring mills, 13 Protestant and 8 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, April t. 1909
_ FATHER PENN'S LOOSE CASH.
There has been much secrecy about
fee revenues of the state, it having been
repeatedly announced that $44,000,000
would be the outside limit of appropria-tions
by the present Legislature. As this
would be about $8,000,000 under 1907,
there has been much said about the ne-
•essity for pruning.
Treasury receipts have been heavier
than anticipated and now the total of
$56,000,000 is said to be curtain. The
present progtam is to hold the appro-priations
within the $54,000,000 limit,
and Governor Stuart will approve the
bills as they come to him.
The increased revenues will make cer
tain plenty of money for the worthy
charities. It will also insure the passage
•f the state highway bill and the capitol
park extension. The prospects of the
soldiers' pension bill are brighter. There
will be a liberal appropriation to town-ships
for the maintenance of dirt roads.
But, it wouldn’t matter much whether
the appropriation limit was $54,000,000
*r $154,000,000; the Legislature can be
trusted to find means to spend every
«ent in sight. That’s the way our state
solons are built.
As Greater Connellsville wants a new
aame for its Main street, THE JOURNAL
suggests “Connell Way."
A GOOD BILL.
Governor Stuart has received and will,
it is said, sign a bill just passed by the
Legislature that strikes at an evil long
suffered throughout this section and one
which has resulted in more trouble for
officers of the law than any other single
cause. The measure prohibits unnatu-ralized
foreigners from carrying firearms,
and from hunting with any weapon
without a license.
The introduction of this bill was pro-moted
by the murder ot Selee Hank, a
state game warden, in Lawrence county,
a year or two ago by an unnaturalized
foreigner named Rocco who had a grudge
against him. The state authorities work-ed
on the case many months' finally
causing the arrest of Rocco who is now
under sentence of death.
The measure is a good one, although
it might have gone further in its provis-ions
so as to forbid the carrying of con-cealed
weapons by any one.
saloon, and later they took a room as
man and wife.
These two kidnapers are smooth indi-viduals
when at themselves, as their work
in the case shows; but they fell down
in the windup. Had they not begun to
celebrate with strong drink they might
have had the .fun of spending all the
ransom instead of a paltry hundred or
two.

ANOTHER LESSON IN TEMPERANCE.
The excitement connected with the
Sharon kidnaping case is subsiding.
James H. Boyle, the former Sharon
plumber and the black sheep in a re-spectable
family, and his pretty young
wife or mistress, who stole “Billy”
Whitla and gave him back upon being
paid $10,000 by the lad's father, are now
in the Mercer county jail awaiting a
trial that bids fair to send both to the
penitentiary for the balance of their
lives. Mr. Whitla has recovered all but
a few hnndred dollars of the money he
so willingly paid lor the safe return of
his boy; while Patrick O’Reilly, the
Cleveland, Ohio, saloon keeper who gave
the police of that city the tip that re-sulted
in the arrest of the guilty parties,
has filed bis apparently good claim to
the $15,000 reward offered by this state,
Mrs. Boyle, if she is married, was in
St. Louis, Missouri, a year ago and well,
if not favorably known as Helen Faulk-ner.
She seemed to exert some peculiar
influence over Boyle from the first day
she met him there. From a hard-work-ing
plumber, with mildly Bohemian ten-dencies,
he rapidly degenerated into a
mere follower of the Faulkner woman
and soon the two were never seen apart.
They first met at the “Monkey Cage,” a

from Ktissln by Uncle Sam Its val-ue
was placed at $7,200,000, It being
rated as n blank and barren region,
having little value apart from Its
wortli ns a fur hearing country. Tills
opinion prevailed until a few years
ago, when vast deposits of gold were
discovered, which are still yielding
Immense annual revenues. More re
cently the country Ims been found to
possess still other resources. A repre-sentative
of the United States depart-ment
of agriculture, as a result of ex-periments

Yukon valley, reports that lie has
been able to raise oats, barley and
winter wheat of ns good weight and

In stock raising show that the Gallo-way

to the rigorous climate and to give
excellent financial returns.

Mourning the loss of sonic dear face de
parted, fallen asleep;
lluMied Into 'ilence, nevermore to com-fort
the hearts of men,
Gone like the sunshine of another coun-try
beyond our sight,
I low will it look, the face that we clicr
islicd when next we meet?
Will it he changed, so glorified and
saintly that we shall know it not?
Will there be nothing that shall say "I
love thee," and 1 have forgot?
O faithful heart, the same loved face
shall meet us there,
Less sad, less wistful in immortal beauty,
divinely fair.
Let us he patient, we who mourn, with
weeping, some vanished face.
The Lord has taken but to add more
beauty and a diviner grace,
When through the storm and tempest
safely anchored on the other side,
We shall find that dear face through
death's deep shadows, "not changed
but glorified."
