OLD SI JAWKINS
PAYS HEAVEN A VISIT
WHILE IN A DREAM
And Then Drops Into This Office to Tell of his
Strange Experience.
HE TALKED LIKE A BLOCK OF HOUSES AFIRE
BUT THE JOURNAL’S PRETTY NEW STENOGRAPHER
WAS ONTO HER JOB ALL RIGHT.
COMERS AND GOERS.
Silas and “Looizer” Had Been Out Calling: on Hospitable
Neighbors of Whose Generous Spread of good Things he Par-took
Until His Overloaded Stomach Refused to be Good to
Its Sleeping Owner, to Whom there Came Visions of the
Pearly Gates With Much Startling Information From the
Venerable Keeper Regarding a Number of Departed Ridgers.
Si Jawkins was in town Tuesday afternoon of this week,
and he took time to drop into our office and tell ns of a dream
he had had. He was a little excited in his story, but onr
new office stenographer slings a quick pencil, and got it all
down in good shape.
“Y'see,” began the old man, ‘ ‘me an’ Looizer hed been over
ter a neighbor’s house one evenin’ last week after the chores
was all finished up. Wishin’ ter be sociable like they give
us a hull lot o’ cold chicken an' ham an' pie an’ doughnuts,
an’ sech like, ter eat. An’ es et was one o' them chilly even-in’s
we, specially I, et an' et tell I was most too full ter git np
an’ go home. Wall, thet night my slumber was powerful
oneasy, an’ I hed a dream which hes much troubled me ever
sence.
“I thought I hed got very sick an’ hed Bhnffled off thismor
tal coil, an’ was decently buried. The feller what settled up
my affairs hed put up a gravestone fer me on which was
carved enough virtues ter set np ten saints in business. I
blushed a sperit blush when I read thet monnyment an’ saw
what a righteous individual I hed really been. Wall, in due
course o’ things I appeared before the gates o’ heaven. The
season hed been a specially healthy one, an es they wasn t
innch ter do, while my case was a bein’ decided on 1 put in
the time inquirin’ of the doorkeeper after a lot o’ my friends
who hed gone ahead o’ me durin the last few years.
“ >Qot a lot o’ my old friends up here, I s'pose,’ said I, in-quiringly.
“ ‘Not by a long shot,’ says the doorkeeper.
“ ‘Deacon .Tiuks is here, I s’pose,’ said I.
“ ‘Not any,’ said he with a chuckle.
“ ‘Why,’ said I, ‘the deacon was the heftiest man we ,hed
et prayin’, an’ no person could ever hev been any more zeal-ous
a keepin’ the congregation straight.’
“ ‘Very true,’ replied Peter, ’but, alas, the deacon kept his
eagle eye fixed so goshed tight on his neighbors’ feet thet his
own got clean off the road, an’ when he pulled up et wasn t
et the place he thought o’ headin’ fer. His prayin’ was fine,
but es et wasn't backed up by a doin’ uv things in proportion,
et didn’t pass up here.’
•• ‘How about Elder Shanks? He was a charitable soul-no
man ever give more ter the poor then he did.’
“ ‘The elder give away lots o’ money, but et didn’t never
do him no sort o’ good. The truth is, the elder, in his younger
days, made np his mind ter git rich an’ be a good man both.
He’d give a needy feller ten dollars, an’ ter make et np would
charge a workman thet amount fer tools broke in his service
He’d cheat a neighbor out o’ his eye teeth in what yon call
business down below, an’ then would set out ter compromise
with his conscience by a subscribin’ one-tenth of the profits
ter a missionary society. Compromisin’ don’t work in reli
gion, fer the feller what tries it gives ter the devil somethin
of value an’ gits in return what damns him. Elder Shanks’s
swindling apd oppressions was jist balanced in, number by
his charities; but, es he died worth lots o’ money, the swind-lin’
side was the heaviest. We keep books very accurate up
here. ’
“ ‘Whar is good Sister Swoogem? She’s all right, anyhow,
says I.
*• ‘Considerably not! The old lady believed in the doctrine
of election, thet she was elected ter be saved an’ everybody
else was elected ter be lost. She used ter confess in her
prayers thet she was a poor, mis’rable sinner, but she didn’t
b’lieve a word <* it. She meant her neighbors all the time.’
“ ’Brother Pogram is—’ I began.
“ ‘No he isn’t. His nose was too red. The lessons he used
ter give his fellers on the subject o’ temp’rance, an’ so on, he
never practiced himself. He loved spirits, an’ he spent fif-teen
years a faithfully tryin’ ter convince himself thet he hed
stomach disease an’ needed whisky reg’lar ter sorter keep him
np. He fooled himself down there on earth—but np here it’s
another thing.’
“ ‘Wall,’said I, gittin’ kinder desp’rit, ’Sister Goojem
here, who writ them spiritual hymns what was sung in all
the churches. Sich piety es perduced them verses must be
safe.’
“ ‘Agin you’re wrong. Sister Goojem writ beautiful
hymns, but she never felt them sentiments. She was burnt
np with a itchin’ fer fame, and sich like, an’ a writin
spiritual hymns happened to be her strongest holt. Ef she’d
a hed a knack o’ writin’ vulgar comic songs she’d a writ ’em
One may write like a angel, but ef he wants ter git where
the angels is he must do what the angels does. Now, I know
jist who you’re a wonderin’ about, an’ I’ll tell yer where they
all is. There was Squire Booties; he jined the church ter
keep himself bein’ continually in office. An’ Brother Biblets,
the merchant, kep’ inside the pail o’ the church fer trade.
His body was all the part o’ him they was inside, an’ thet
jumped out ev’ry time he went ter the city ter buy goods.
His sotil was in his goods, an’ et’s gone where his goods is.’
“By this time I was gittin' quite nervous. Things wasn
goin’ the way I hed expected they would, an’ so I says:
“ ‘Wall, who in. thunder do yer hev here, then?’
“ ‘D’ye mind theirpool Slavish feller who used ter come in
an’set in the back pew ? Wall, he’s here. He b’lieved hon
,@8t, an’ practiced jist es fer es he knew how. He did wrong
ev’ry day, but he always repented in good faith, an’ worked
hard ter dodge thet same sin the next day. He give lib’rally,
without tollin’ et ter ev’rybody, an’ never paid twict es much
ter hev et published iu the papers es the gift amounted to
which is a correct definition o’ charity. Then there’s the

The Jolly College Lads go Through a
Program That is Just as Good as the
Best, and Then They are Given Mount
Pleasant’s Glad Hand at a Nice Recep-tion
in McElwee’e Hall.
The concert given in the Grand Opera
House last Friday evening by the Frank
lin & Marshall College Glee and Man
dolin Clubs was one of the specially fine
events of the season here. There was a
good sized audience present represent-ing
the best class of onr citizens, and
they were given a rich treat in the
splendid program which was rendered.
The young men composing the clubs are
a fine-looking set of fellows, typical col-lege
boys, full of pranks, but every inch
gentlemen.
Their musical ability is of a high or-der.
There is much talent among them,
and under the careful training which
they have received they have won an
enviable place among college glee clubs.
They are worthy of high praise. Espe-cially
noteworthy waB their rendering
of difficult selections from “Faust’’ and
“Robbin Hood.” The work was finely
done. The entire program was highly
appreciated by the audience, which
showed its pleasure by insisting on
doubling the program by encores.
People here were gratified by the hon-ors
shown to Mr. Carl Graul, one of the
much liked Mount Pleasant boys, who
by bis musical ability has won a goodly
place in the esteem of his college chums.
At the close of the exercises the clever
young performers were taken in charge
by Messrs. Nevin A. Cort and Charles
A. Graul. of this place, and were given
a most enjoyable and largely attended
reception in McElwee’s Hall where a
nicely appointed lunch counter was in
pleasant evidence. The lively strains
of Kettering’s Greensburg orchestra
soon had the younger portion of the
guests dancing, a form of amusement
that was continued until a late hour.
Among those in attendance from a
distance were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Over
holt and Kenneth Bryce, of Pittsburg
Miss Rea Inskeep, of McKeesport; Miss
Marguerite Barnett, of Markleton, and
Miss Jeannette McMillan, of Washing-ton,

FURTHER STEPS
Items of Interest Gathered From Both
Mine and Yard.
Robert Burkholder, of the Frick com-pany’s
engineer corps, is off on a visit to
Danville, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
I. C. Yost, one of the H. C. Frick
Coke Company’s bookkeepers at Stand-ard,
has resigned and will return to
his Philadelphia home May 1st.
The car supply has improved and as a
result workers are not only making six
days a week hut the supply of stock
coke is being steadily decreased.
The O’Donnell Coke Company has paid
Norman Cowell $40,000 cash for 84 acres
of surface and 27 acres of coal lands in
Menallen township, Fayette county.
H. Brownfield, of Uniontown, has
just added 450 acres in Nicholson and
German townships to his coal holdings,
paying in the neighborhood of $1,000 an
acre.
The H. C. Frick Coke Company had
Steve and Mark Konisky, two East End
boys, arrested and brought before Jus-tice
McWilliams Monday on a charge of
having torn down oven fronts at Stand
ard. At the request of the prosecutor,
the defendants were discharged upon
payment of costs.
The attempt to bring out the men of
the Keystone Coal & Coke Company at
the mines about Greensburg for a 10 per
cent, advance in wages proved a failure.
Three of the drivers at the No. 1 plant,
W. C. Myers, Archie Lindsay and Jesse
Williams, were arrested Friday and
placed in jail on charges of assault on
Superintendent Henry L. Welty.
A PET GROUNDHOG.
John Vasbinder Had. One and he Got
Very Tired of It.
Last fall John Vasbinder, the well
known local barber, got a young ground-hog
and for a time his children had lots
of fun with it for a pet. But that was
before it went into winter quarters be-tween
the weatherboarding and the
plastering where,during the winter with
old papers, it kept the whole family
awake many a night. Just the other
day the animal was trapped and put in
a barrel to be given away. Instead, it
escaped and went prowling around East
Washington street backyards, finally
locating under an alley bridge at Sam-uel
Strohm’s stable.
As the people down that way mistook
it for a monster rat they organized a big
hunting party Tuesday afternoon. It is
said fully fifty persons, men, women and
children, were ranged about the plank
covering armed with clubs and stones
ready to exterminate the “varmint
as soon as Bert Strohm could punch it
out with a long piece of pipe. At this
point Mr. Vasbinder appeared on the
scene and, after explaining matters, re
quested the execution to proceed. But
the crowd at once melted entirely away
leaving the groundhog in peace.
That Have Been Taken Looking to South
Fenn Completion-
Further steps have been taken by the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
for the completion of the proposed short
line between Pittsburg and Baltimore
by rebuilding the old South Penn route.
It is announced that a charter has been
granted to the Allegheny and West-moreland
Railroad Company for-the
construction of a line from Port Perry,
on the main line of the Baltimore &
Ohio, to a point near Mount Pleasant,
distance of about 28 miles. The direc
tors are all Philadelphia men.
It is said this line is to be taken over
by the Baltimore & Ohio and made part
of the proposed cut-off. The announce
ment that such a scheme was contem
plated was made in THE JOURNAL sev
eral months ago. and the organization
of the company confirms this report.
Still a U. S. Consul.
The report that Prof. S. W. Jackson
United States Consul at Patras, Greece,
is on his way home with his family, in
tending to sail next week from Liver-pool,
led THE JOURNAL to announce
last week that he had resigned to accept
the position of New York manager-for
a Grecian currant company. He has
simply been granted leave of absence
and is still undecided in regard to what
he will do. He expects to visit Mount
Pleasant within a month.
Clever Needlewoman.
Mrs. Loren K. Zuck, of this place,
has just received notice of her award of
a prize and honorable mention at the

single team belonging to Liveryman D.
O. Lemmon, Dick Mortimore and Miss
Carrie Huffman, well known local
yonng people, came within an ace of
being drowned in Jacobs Creek at Iron
Bridge.
They were just starting across the
bridge at that place when a buggy ap-proaching
from the other side frighten
ed their horse which backed the vehicle,
occupants and himself over the embank-ment
into ten feet of water where the
animal was drowned.
Realizing their danger, the yonng
people both jumped as the bnggy was
going down and thus got clear of the
wreckage. Dick stuck bravely to the
girl and finally, with the .assistance of
Roy Lentz, in whose rig they came on
to town, succeeded in reaching the
shore in safety.

Life For Her Son, and Hiram Gilson, of Thie Place, the Old

Mrs. Nancy Foster.
Mrs. Nancy Foster, widow of William Foster and possibly
the oldest woman in Westmoreland county, died last Thurs-day,
April 10th, at her Reagan-town
home, in the 99th year of
her age.
She was sick but a few days,
pneumonia being the cause of
her death. Less than a month
ago. on the 26th of March, her
friends gathered at her home
to celebrate her birthday, as
had been their custom for some
years. That »date was her
ninety-eight anniversary, and
she received her friends with
the same interest and with al-most
the same energy and un-abated
strength as on former
occasions. Her sndden death
after a brief illness is not only
an occasson of sorrow to a largo circle of friends, bnt a dis-ppointmem
that one who had outlived all of her generation
should yet come short by less than two years of ronnding out
the century. The funeral services were conducted by Rev.
Howard S. Wilson, pastor of the local United Presbyterian
church, of which she had been a member for fourscore years.
A very large company of friends gathered at the home to ex-press
their respect for the dead and their sympathy for the
living. Mrs. Foster’s immediate family live upon the home
farm. Her two sons, Nathan and James, occnpy a portion of
it and tier two daughters and grandson, William, occnpy the
homestead. Mrs. Foster retained her faculties of both mind
and body to a marked degree and almost to the last was a
most charming hostess.
Mrs. Mary Overholt-St. Clair.
A sad death occurred at Scottdale Monday morning when
the spirit of Mrs. Mary Overbolt St. Clair, the loving wife of
George St. Clair, returned to Him Who gave it. Peritonitis
set in following the birth of her son some ten days before and
baffled the best medical skill. When told of the fatal natnre
of the disease she accepted the cruel verdict with true
Christian fortitude and, after giving her babe to her mother
and a nnmberof mementoes tootherrelatives and friends, she
calmly awaited the end, in the assurance that all was well.
Mrs. St. Clair was 27 years of age and was married fonr
years ago last October. She was the second daughter of Mr.
and Mrs Joseph Overholt, of this place, to whose Church
street home the body was brought Tuesday morning and
from which it was bnried in the cemetery Wednesday after-following
divine services that were conducted by her
pastor, the Rev. Mr. Cartwright, of the Scottdale Methodist
Episcopal church, who was assisted by the Rev. Mr. Smith,
of this place. Dr. O. I. Hess, R. M. Yonng, A. G. Trimble
and C. L. E. Cartwright, Ph. D , as a committee, have taken
the following action on her death:
“We, the members of the Brotherhood of St. Paul of the
First Methodist Episcopal church, of Scottdale, Pa., deeply
deploring the bereavement of our brother, George R. St.
Clair, in the death of his beloved wife, Mary Overholt-St.
Clair, which occurred Monday. April 20th, 1903, and hereby
•express our sorrow and sympathy for our brother and for her
family.
We commend them to the care and consolation of our
Heavenly Father, Who ‘is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think.’
We direct that copies of this document be fnrnished the
papers of Scottdale and Mount Pleasant and the families of
the deceased.”

Hiram A. Gilson.
Hiram Anderson Gilson, one of the oldest and best known
residents of this community, died at his home on West Main
street last Monday afternoon at three o’clock, in his sixty-seventh
year. His illness was brief. On last Saturday morn-ing,
while engaged in his duties at the Methodist Episcopal
church, he suffered what seemed to be a light stroke of paral-ysis,
affecting the side of the face and causing loss of the
power of speech. He was able to go home unaided, and at
once summoned medical aid. In two or three hours he had
recovered speech, and never again lost it till death came. It
was soon seen that he was mortally-stricken, and his children
residing at a distance were sent for; but, his sinking was s®
steady and rapid that on Monday afternoon the end came
with great peace.
Mr. Gilson was a lifelong Christian, a member of the Meth-odist
Episcopal chnrch, and for many years an honored offi-cial
of the local congregation. He was a Christian gentleman
without reproach, loved and honored by all who knew him.
The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the
chnrch, and were in charge of bis pastor, the Rev. C. L.
Smith.
Mr. GiUon was born at Gallitzin, Cambria county, being
the youngest and last Burvivor of five brothers, and came here
to reside some twenty-five years ago, working much of the
time since then as a trimmer for Galley Brothers, the coach
makers. He was married three times, his third wife passing
away some six years ago. He was the father of twelve chil-dren,
five sons and seven daughters, of whom six survive—
Clarence, of Pittsbnrg; Mrs. Frank Cottom, of Uniontown;
Mrs. Frank Allen, of Scottdale; Mrs. George Grazier, of War-rior’s
Mark, Huntingdon county, and Irene and Lillie at home.

MURDER;
SUICIDE.
Insane Jealousy Leads Robert Long, a
Young Johnstown Carpenter, to Murder
Emma Foust and Then Kill Himself.
DOUBLE CRIME COMMITTED AT FOUSTWELL,
Robert Long, a Johnstown carpenter,
aged 26 years, murdered Emma Foust,
aged 21 years, a daughter of Samuel
Foust, postmaster at Foustwell, Somer-set
county, early Sunday morning last
and then with another well directed
shot he blew his own brains out.
Jealousy was the cause. The first shot
missed the girl, but the second reached
her brain and she expired soon after
staggering into the adjoing room ,inst ns
her sleeping parents arose from their
bed, having been wakened by the first
shot. Long then ran out to the porch
when he turned the pistol on himself
and where his dead body was found.
Young Long had sought the hand of
Miss Foust for several years and she and
her parents had opposed his advances
because friends had told them of his
drinking. He was a persistent suitor,
however, and on Saturday last, after
completing his day's work in Johnstown,
he boarded a street car, riding to Point
creek and walking the remaining few
miles to Foustwell.
Long met Miss Foust in her father’s
establishment and about midnight ac-companied
her home. It is believed that
he pressed the snit and that he decided
to kill both only after her refusal to en-tertain
his advances, as she had done on
former occasions. ’ Both victims came
of good families.
HIN Point of View.
v
Starting Bight.
In every great race much depends
upon the start. “Setting away” with
the whole system tingling with confi-dence
in the strength to win, is half the
battle. In the race of life the start each
day is at the breakfast table. A dish of
uIt’\ the new cereal, served with milk,
invigorates the body and refreshes the
brain. “It” makes the start right. “It”
is cooked and ready to eat. Young and
old like You can eat “It” at any
time. At grocers everywhere.

Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident is narrated by
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, as follows:
“I was in an awful condition. My skin
j was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
j sides, no appetite, growing weaker day
| by day. Three physicians had given me
j up. Then I was advised to use Electric
j Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle
I made a decided improvement. I con-tinued
their use for three weeks and am
now a well man. I know they robbed
the grave of another victim.” No one
should fail to try them. Only 50 cents,

FRICTION
Caused Between Controller Brown and the
County Commissioners Over the Last
Call for the New Court House Bids.
THE UTTER REFUSE TO TAKE ANY PIT,
The friction between Controller John
H. Brown and the Board of Connty
Commissioners is now greater thad ever.
Commissioner's Earnest and Mowry re
fused to take part in last Thursday's
opening of the bids, asked by the Con-troller,
for the erection and completion
of the new court house.
William Miller & Sons, of Pittsburg,
were the only contractors to present a
bid. Representatives of Caldwell &
Drake, the Columbus. O., firm that was
granted the contract last October, were
present but did not submit an estimate
upon the advice of the commissioners.
Thursday was also the time set by the
commissioners of this and Fayette
counties to hold a meeting for the pur-pose
of receiving bids for the erection
of a joint bridge across Jacob’s Creek at
Keister’s Mill, below Scottdale. The
Fayette people were on hand, but the
Westmoreland officials were conspicu-ous
by their absence. Controller Brown,
it is said, took the six bids and went
home to Grapeville. The "Old Fiatt”
representatives felt hurt and served no
tiee that they would not be responsible
should any accident happen at the old
bridge which has been condemned.
As Judged From the Past Week’s
Trade Reports
WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED
I FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS
OF THE JOURNAL
| Cold and Wet Weather Retarded Retail
Trade in Spring and Summer Wearing
Apparel, but Production of Farm
Staples May Not be Curtailed by later
Planting, Although Frost May Haw
Injurious Effect.
Cold and wet weather during the
I past week in many sections retarded re-tail
trade in spring and summer wear-
I ing apparel. Jobbers felt the effects in
I a lessened activity and agricultural op
I erations made irregular progress. Pro-
I duction of farm staples may not be cur
I tailed by the later planting, although in
I in some cases there will be greater dan -
Iger of loss at the end of the season
j through early frost.
Traffic conditions are steadily improv-ling,
yet some complaints are still heard,
land further additions to motive power
land teruiins' facilities must be made if
I another cS^estion is to be averted at
I the next time of pressure. Railway
learnings thus far in April exceed last
(year’s by 12.5 per cent, and those of 1901
(by 24.1 percent.* Several factors tend
(to delay the placing of contracts for pig
(iron deliveries after July 1, which
(weakens the tone, and it is reported
(that Bessemer is freely offered at *20,
(valley furnace, without attracting pur-chasers.
Such small concessions as are
|offered Increase the disposition of pros
(pective bnyers to wait as long as possi-
(ble.
An output of over 800,000 tons of coke
|weekly and sufficient traffic facilities to
(keep furnaces supplied remove the
|alarm regarding future scarcity, and
(the situation has become more normal,
(which makes it possible to ascertain to
(what extent prices have been inflated
(by special conditions.
Thus far no accumulation of material
■is reported, notwithstanding unprece-dented
production, and the prospect
Ifavors continued activity in demand
lafter the present uncertainty is
Ipast. Contracts for structural steel are
lalso placed with great caution, not be-loanse
of light business in sight, but ow-ling
to the fear of labor troubles.
It is hoped that controversies in the
building trades will be settled by May
|l, in which case large orders for steel
shapes will be offered, as plans for many
new bridges and structures are under
consideration.

MEN WE WANT TO TALK TO.
We believe that if every man in Mount Pleasant was a clothing expert—if
every man in Mount Pleasant knew the positive facts in the case—that every man
in Mount Pleasant would come straight to us for all his clothing. This is not mere
braggadocio—it is not mere business bombast—it is logical, easily-proven fact.
Below we publish a list of “Men We Want to Talk to” on this subject, and
as we think the best way to talk is through the public newspapers, we shall, from
week to week, issue “talks” as follows:
“To the Man who wants to Dress
Well.”
‘To the Man who wants to Dress
Economically.”
“To the Man who wants the New-est
Styles.”
“To the Man who wants Variety
for Selection.”
“To the Man who’s something of
an Expert on Dress.”
“To the Man who’s not an expert
on Dress.”
“To the Man who’s been Disap-pointed
Elsewhere.”
“To the Man who’s never been to

nearly all of the leading towns of Fay-ette
county and many points farther
east bnt embrace Scottdale, with poles
sit as far np this way as Morewood,
where ’phones of the Mutual company

corporation began operation.
This seems a good opportunity to ex-tend
the local system with little or DO
cost to the owners, and THE JOURNAL

mitteemen met and put him' to flight by
electing George H. Hugus, Esq., as
their chairman over the incumbent, H
S. Ackerman. But the Captain’s retire-ment
was only temporary.
On Saturday last, upon the call of Mr.
Ackerman who stoutly refused to ac
knowledge his defeat or recognize Mr.
Hugus as his successor, the committee
again convened at Greensburg and
completely reversed its former action.
Over half the members were present, so
reports say, and they renewed their al-legiance
to the Captain by once more
electing the caller to the chair without
even one dissenting voice. There were
no kickers there; the Hngns followers
were either not expected or remained
away from choice.
Of course, the Hngns people do not
take kindly to this new deal that leaves
them out in the cold, and will doubtless
appeal to the State Central Committee,
but that’s abont all the good it will do
them. From the tone of his letters to
the two nnterrified chairmen in this
county, State- Chairman Creasy, while
preaching harmony, was evidently back
of his western district chairman, Cap-tain
Keenan, and we seriously question
the Hngnsites’ ability to raise even a
disturbance in their party’s next state
convention. If they are seeking har-mony
the Captain’s desk will be found
to be full of it.
Explaining the Interval.
Pittsburg Leader.
It is just as well that there is an in
terval of two years between sessions of
the Legislature. Look how long it will
take to deodorize the state capitol.
Steer Clear of “Teddy.”
Pittsburg Gazette.
Notwithstanding his pnblic announce-ment
that we will do no shooting in
Yellowstone park, the mountain Hons
out there are not taking any special
pains to attend the receptions to the
President.
Better Reverse It.
Uniontown Nows Standard.
The town continues to be at the mercy
of burglars. The outlying streets need
some protection. At present there are
12 policemen for the town, 10 for day
time and 2 for night. Bnrghirs operate
at night.
A Great Ad.
Pittsburg Times.
"The Ivory City” is likely to be the
name of the big white fair which is be-ing
built in St. Louis, and, if it is, some
of those boodlers out there are likely
to hold np a certain soap maker in or
der to tell him he must produce for the
advertisement he is getting.
NEW LIBEL BILL HEARING.
In the Hall of Representatives at Har
risbnrg Tuesday forenoon last Governor
Pennypacker heard arguments fof and
against the Salns-Grady libel bill. Sev-eral
hundred of thj) leading newspaper
publishers and editors were present and
had their protests to the measure forci-bly
presented by ex-Postmaster General
Charles Emory Smith, of the Philadel-phia
“Press,” and Hon. TbornaB V.
Cooper, of Delaware county, and a
member of the late Legislature who
fought the bill during its passage in the
House. Two Philadelphia lawyers,
Richard C. Dale and Alexander Simp-son,
Esqs., who did not tell by whom
they were hired, spoke in favor of the
bill.
There are many guesses being made
as to what the Governor will do; but, if

The preparations for the United Labor
Carnival, which is to be held in Pitts
burg from Decoration Day, May dO, to
June 18, nre being pushed to comple-tion
rapidly. Already word has been
received from a number of the public
men who have been invited, to the ef-fect
that (hey will bo present at some
lime during the celebration, and it is
expected that the committee will shortly
be able to announce the namesand dates.
A number of attractions have been
definitely arranged, and more are under
contemplation. One of the most inter-esting
features of the festival will be
the choosing of a queen of the carnival
by popular vote. The conditions im-posed
for entry in this contest nre that
the contestant must be either a member
of a labor organization herself, or the
wife or daughter of a member in good
standing. The winner of the contest
will be given a handsome present, and
will be feted and crowned on the last,
day of the carnival.
Senator Hanna, of Ohio, says that, if
possible, he will attend the carnival. A
similar reply has been received from
Senator M. S. Quay. President John
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
lias also written that if he can so ar
range his nffairs he will surely be there.
The 75 as e b a l1 Score
KGAIN wft see the* ficore In print,
'Phe good, old baseball score,
With mimes and figures all in line
AH in the days of yore,
For way down south. In Dixie land,
The boys ore doing stunts,
Again connecting with the ball
For liners, Hies and bunts.
Of course the games now being played
Are not the real thing.
Because the heroes widely famed
Are merely practicing.
They’re getting muscles Into trim
So they can freely play
And training eyes so they can swat
The bulls thut come their way.
But just the same the practice score
With eagerness we scan
To get a line on ploying skill
And work of every man.
We note with joy the wondrous catch,
Bwlft covering of ground,
And chuckle when one hits so hard
lie goes the whole way round.
We look along the lines to seo
The record each has made
And nolo the letters which explain
Position each has played.
We analyze the pitchers' work
And that of catchers, too,
Concluding we have got a team
That certainly will do.
'TIs thus anticipation whets
Desire for real games.
The time when rival tennis will meet
And strive to clinch their claims.
But as wj* cannot speed that time,
With patience we must pore
Through stories of the stunts down south
And scan the practice score.

Nervous Dyspepsia
Its Cause and Cure
Overwork any organ and it gives out
—the stomach is no exception. Ask it
to digest anything, everything, at any
time in half the time required, and like
an over driven horse, it balks. Nature
intended the stomach should have regu
lar hours A time to work, a time to
rest—and when you break up this habit,
you upset the whole arrangement. The
stomach nerves become exhausted, the
glands refuse to act, the food does not
digest—lies heavy, ferments and repeats,
There is pain, gas forms, bloating oc-curs,
the heart becomes irregular and a
nervous, irritable feeling sets in. This
is nervons dyspepsia and Dr. A. W.
Chase's Nerve Pills its cure.
Mrs. K. Shorten, of 8307 Liberty st.
Pittsburg, Pa., says: “Dr. A. W. Chase’s
Nerve PillB are a fine medicine for ner
vous dyspepsia—my food did me no good
—I did not digest it—my head bothered
me, bewildered and nervous. I heard
of the Nerve Pills and got a box and
they were the right medicine. My sto-mach
is in good shape again—my head
clear and my nerves steady. I relish
my food. Altogether I am more than
pleased.” 60c a box at dealers or Dr.

At sunset the grandfather returned.
His step wns slow nnd Ills countenance
grave and troubled. Sinking wearily
Into a ehnlr on the veranda, lie closed
his eyes as If to shut out an unwelcome
visitor to Ids memory nnd thus sat si-lent
and brooding when lOstelle ap-proached
and lightly kissed Ids brow.
“Are you sick, my dear grandfather?”
she asked.
“In spirit, yes. otherwise no, my dear
little girl," he replied.
“Then what Is it that has given de-spondency
to my good old child?”
"Ah, little Kstelle, you are the child
too tender and sensitive to hear the
shocking tiling that has saddened my
soul this evening.”
“No,” she protested; "you misjudge
me. 1 am strong enough to share with
you all your griefs nnd must do so or
fall in my duty. Then tell me what dis-tresses
you. Hid you not go to M.
Quillebcrt’s, nnd was it not there this
thing has happened? Tell your Estelle."
“Yes. my angel, l will tell you, for I
must speak to some one. I rode over to
Constant's to spend an hour with him.
As I passed Ills stables 1 heard the
strokes of the whip fnlllng heavily
upon flesh nnd a low moan following
each blow. 1 hastened on to the house
nnd had alighted st the gate when
Constant enme out of the stables, ox
whip in band, breathless and almost
speechless. The savage fury of his face
frightened me. He sent a negro hoy on
one of his fastest horses to bring Dr. De
Roux. When he had rested somewhat
nnd restored himself with brandy, he
told me Ills Jockey, Leon, went away

"Vou heard what my yraildfather told
til cf"
last night, leaving the horses unfed,and
did not return to the plantation until
midnight, when he wns brought by the
constable, who had caught him com-ing
out of the swamp, nnd stubbornly
refused to say where he had gone. He
caused the unfortunate fellow to be tied
by the wrists to a feed rack from last
night until this evening without food
or water nud threatened the whip if he
did not tell where he had been, but
promising release for confession. Leon
obstinately closed Ills mouth and would
not speak.
“Constant went Into the stable this
eveniug and made his dual demand
for confession, but with uo effect. He
then bared the negro’s hack and gave
him the lash until he fell forward nnd
hung from the rack limp nnd uncon-scious.
At tills he became nlarmed,
I believing that he had killed him, and,
cutting him from tU^ rack, dispatched
for the doctor. I remained there un-til
De Roux came and reported that
he had revived Leon, but could give
no assurance that he would not die
from the effect of the punishment.
Constant drank more brandy, raved
like a madman, swore lie could never
get another jockey to equal Leon and
promised the doctor $500 to cure him.
I All this made me feel utterly misera-
|ble, nnd I came away.”
“And If you will never go back there,
|dear grandfather,” Estelle exclaimed,
“both you and I will be the gainers.”
“You are weeping, child,” said the
lold man, seeing the tears that blinded
Iher eyes. “I should not have harrow-led
you with such a recital.”
“You did right to tell me, that I may
Ihave the best of causes to entreat you
|to stay away from him. Oh, my kind
protector, he is not fit to associate with
Jyoul He is an atheist, a fiend, a brute,
land you are a Christian gentleman,
life is not the equal in character of the
poor negro he tortured, maybe mur-dered.
Never permit him to speak to
oe. Do not expect me to notice him
(If he does. Never Invite him to come
here. If he enters that gate, I will set
all the dogs on him.”
“Calm yourself, my little one,” the
Irandfatber said soothingly, “nnd re-member
that Constant Is a white man
Ind Leon only bis negro slave.”
“Grandfather,” the girl replied spir-itedly,
“It Is more probable that Leon
Is not Qulllebert’s negro slave than
flint Quillebert is deserving to be call-ed
a white man.”
/“What do you mean, Estelle?”
“I cannot tell you now, but time will
hxplain this saying of mine In both
Its parts. Only promise me this—that
Tiever shall one of our slaves be put to i
the lash or tortured.”
“I promlsn Hint S!?1C?€*!*€*!
"Then, dear grandfather, let us talk
no more of this unhappy subject. You
need your supper nnd pipe.”
“Yes, dear, nnd tell old Julie tn ib-in
the coffee extra strong to quiet my
nerves.
Passing Into the hall, Estelle found
Odette sobbing bitterly and, taking her
hand, snhl In a low tone:
“You heard what my grandfather
told me?”
"Yes, uinmselle. Forgive me for lls
tenlng.”
"Remember, then, Odette, what Leon
suffered for your sake nnd be you as
brave nnd silent for Ills. The God of
nrerey will right all this wrong. Trust
in God and Mr. Onkfell.”
“Yes, and you, dear mistress.”
"Go now, lint he your eyes In cool wa-ter
nnd wait on us at table with n face
showing no trace of weeping.”
Estelle proceeded to her own room
nnd, closing the door, knelt at the pret
ty little priedicu near her bed. Rowing
her beautiful h°ad and closing her eyes,
she addressed tier petition for the sue
cor of tlie oppressed to heaven, but In
her Involuntary vision she saw only the
face of Onkfell. From the happiness of
this dual devotion she wns summoned
to preside at the meal.
CHAPTER VII.
THE DOCTIIESS. LEON'S life hung for weeks on
the merest thread. Fever con-sumed
his body and mind, cre-ating
hallucinations peopled
by Odette, Onkfell and Estelle,
whoso names were oftenest on Ills
parched lips. The excess of his punish-ment
was discussed throughout the
parish In terms condemnatory of Quille-bert,
to prosecute whom should the
jockey die determination was express-ed.
The medication of Dr. De Roux
seemed Impotent, a profound and omi-nous
gloom settled upon the slaves on
all the plantations, the patrol of con-stables
was nightly re-enforced by vol
unteers, Qulllebert’s bottle and card fa-miliars
obscured themselves, and he
felt deeply disturbed by the entire situ-ation.
lie drank brandy at home and
rum at Dede's cabaret at Mnnstim. In
this latter lie was blasphemously in-veighing
against the doctor’s unskill-fulness
when Dede remarked:
“It is you who lack sense. Why
don’t you stop throwing away money
ou I)e Roux and drop a gold eagle in
the lap of old Mother Dcsliautclles,
Laure Luneau’s grandmother?”
“What can she do, you pitted Idiot?”
Quillebert snapped.
“She can cure your jockey and save
you from being tarred nnd feathered,
you Gascon hog,” retorted Dede. “She
is a doctress served by the saints them-selves.
Alexe Boudreau’s tine trotter
could not touch his right hind foot to
the ground for four days. Alexe called
on Mother Deshautelles. She gave him
a dry piece of flannel to put on the
horse’s hoof. lie did so and dealt him
a sharp blow. Down went the hoof,
nnd the horse has not limped since.
During 48 hours Tatin’s boy could not
swallow. He was carried to Mother
Deshautelles, who laid her hand ou his
throat just for one second. As soon ns
he got home he ate a quart of gumbo
and can now swallow an egg without
breaking it. Bertrand Dutilho called to
his wife one night for a candle. She
asked him, ‘Where Is the candle?’ For
three days she kept repeating, ‘Where
is the candle, where Is the candle?’
She did not eat or sleep nnd continued
saying, ‘Where is the candle, where Is
the caudle?’ Dr. Lome wns called to
her, but he could do nothing. Her
strength gave out, and they had to put
her to bed. Still she went on asking,
‘Where Is the candle, where is the
candle?’ The priest was seut for, nnd
he burned candles nnd Incense nud
sprinkled water and talked Latin, but
she kept on asking, ‘Where is the can-dle,
where is the candle?’ Finally
Bertram] brought Mother Deshautelles.
She sut by the bed and heard the feeble
voice whisper; ‘Where is the candle,
where is the candle?’ and, touching her
lips with a candle she had carried
there, said to her, ‘There, the candle!'
Mme. Dutilho opened her gyes and,
looking first at the candle and then at
Mother Deshautelles, closed them again
and immediately fell asleep. From that
day to this she has never asked, ‘Where
is the candle?’ ”
“Do you take me for a fool, Dede, or
are you really simple enough yourself
to believe such crazy stuff?”
“Crazy stuff!” exclaimed Dede. “1
tell you, Quillebert, those are facts,
nnd there are hundreds more known.
She is the most powerful doctress
since the old nun Bazllla died, who
cured the bishop of Natchez of a snake
bite. But It Isn’t every one she will
serve, for she is a pious woman. She
may refuse you, who are such a fool
as not to believe what you cannot un-derstand,
who do not believe In God
or the saints or the devil. When your
jockey dies and the planters begin to
hold meetings, perhaps you will no
longer believe In rum, cards, ox whip
and yourself, which thus far have
made up your creed.”
Qulllebert’s philosophical skepticism
was demolished by this last stroke of
Dede’s, and. visibly frightened, he said:
"And do you think this old witch will
not sell her charm for my gold?”

ACKERMAN RE-ELECTED COUNTI ClIRliN,
There was a meeting of the Demo-cratic
County Committee held at
Greensbnrg Saturday and Captain John
B. Keenan, chairman of the western
District of the StateCentral Committee,
was restored to the throne. At the
meeting, which was attended by over
1(10 of the 1)00 committeemen of the
county, the Keenan candidates for
County Chairman, member of the State
Central Committee and the delegates to
the state convention were unanimously
elected.
The George H. Hngns wing did not
attend the convention, and the meeting
was entirely harmonious. Henry S.
Ackerman was re elected chairman of
the county committee, Joph P. Bren-nan,
of Scottdale, was selected to repre
sent the county on the State Central
Committee. The delegates chosen to
the state convention were: John L.
Ackerman, Latrobe; W. C. Luppold,
West Newton; A. M. White, North
Huntingdon; Henry Geary, Derry town-ship;
W. D. Colburn and Joseph Frantz,,
Parnassus; W. W. Martz, Salem town-ship;
W. F. Holtzer, Hempfield town-ship;
W. E Crnwford, Rostraver town-ship:
W. A. Brown, Mount Pleasant
township.
Both organizotions will go to Harris
burg and nsk for representation in the
state convention. The Keenan people,
however, claim that they already have
the indorsement of the state committee.
The resolutions adopted denounced
the actions of the late legislature, par
ticnlarly the passing of the Salus-Grady
libel bill; protested against the unrea-sonable
delay in the erection of a new
county conrt house as well as the in-creased
expenditures, especially, at the
County Home, closing with a nice
tribute to Paul II Gaither, Esq , the
talented Greensbnrg attorney, who was
heartily endorsed for the Supreme Court
judgship nomination.

A Hard Straggle.
It’s a hard
struggle to fight
the battles of
life with the
heavy burdens
of kidney ills.
The constantly
aching back —
The weariness—Distressing urin-ary
disorders—All yield quickly to
Doan’s
Kidney Pills,
A Modern Medicine for
Every Kidney 111.
Mr. William McLaughlin, of No. 542 South
Duke street, Lancaster, Pa., says: “I first
noticed my bapk give out when I was a let-ter
carrier. I was constantly taking cold,
and It always settled In my back. I em-ployed
a doctor and took numerous kinds
of medicine, but they availed me nothing.
When on the railroad the work .made me
worse. The pain was sharp in the small of
the back, and at night when in bed It was
terrible, and I often had to get up on ac-count
of a urinary weakness. I sent my
daughter toHull’sdrugstore nnd got IJoau’s
Kidney Pills. After using them for three
days I felt better. I continued until I was
all over my trouble, and could heartily rec-ommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills to others.”

D. H. Lemon, of Greensburg, was

Miss Gertie Byerly, of Tarr, spent
Monday with Alverton friends.

That Will Exhibit Here on Tuesday,
May 5th.
The mnsenm, menagerie, and curio
department attached to the Walter L.
Main Enormous Shows, combined with
the grand military spectacle, Savage
South Africa, which will exhibit in
Monnt Pleasant on Tuesday, May 5th,
are J,he most complete in existence.
This department is made doubly inter-esting
from an educational standpoint,
for the chance is given to study the
habits, inquiries, and mode of living of
the inhabitants of that far-off torrid
clime. The Zulus, Kaffirs, Matabeles,
Basntus, and sturdy, religions, indus-trious
Boers will be seen as they are at
home.
The animal department, or menage-rie,
is the .personification of complete-ness,
and contains many rare specimens,
one in particular being an Albino Fili-pino
bull, the only one of its kind known
to be in existence. The cages contain
animals from every point of the globe,
andinclnde tigresses, lioness, and leop-ards
with cubs. In all there are over
one hundred and fifty distinct speci-mens,
and not only the untamed ones,
bnt many taught to perform with an in-telligence
that is surprising.
In the mnsenm are nature’s strange
productions, both animate and inani-mate,
while they are of a startling and
surprising nature, do not offend. Tow-ering
giants, little midgets, musical
prodigies, deft wire, wax, and paper
workers, the laughable Pnnch and Judy,
magicians, graceful butterfly dancers,
fat people, thin people, long haired peo-ple,
mind readers, bell-ringers, bag
pipers, and, in fact, almost everything
wonderful.
