Board ef Trait tViatoa Waw ConBty Carv4 Oat of Cambria, Iadiaaa, (am trtet and WeitiBorelsBd W wyntpajhize with the un.iiibers of the Johusto'.vn Board o f Trade w ho have entered upon the task of erecting a new county to tie car-red out of parts of Cam bria, Indiana, Somerset and Westmore land, with Johnstown as the couuty s-sat but until it has advanced some better reason for it than any we have yet seen we are inclined to believe that Its efforts are misdirected. It is certainly rncouveuient for Johns towu attorneys and a few others to trans a. t legal Ims'ness and allnnd thedillcrf nt kesslous ol tsjiirt at Ebeusburg, but it ap pears to us tlutt they must find residence in Johnstown more advantageous than at the county seat of Cambria couuty, other wise they would have removed to Ebens burg long ago. Parties to suits in court, witues&es and jurors are put to more or less inconveni ence and expanse by being compelled to attend court, but so far as the last two elu-s-sos are concerned it is duty they owe to the Commonwealth from which there is no escape. It matters little to them where the sessions of court are held. but thfe business men of Johnstown hope to profit by having that city made the seat of Justice for a new couuty by the increased trade it will bring to them from people who are at present compell ed to journey to Ebensburg, Indiana, somerset ana uieeusburg, wuen sum moned by the court. This is all right w hen viewed by the people of Johnstown iu the light of a business proposition, but in the light it is doubtless viewed by the thousands of taxpayers whom it is pro posed to affect, it is all wrong. The tax payers of the four counties concerned are all suffering under a heavy load of county taxation, and the proposed new county wou!d not relieve tnem of a far thing, but would necessarily make heav ier fur a long period of years the burden they now bear, without alTording a ma jority of those it is proposed toatlectany advantage or recompense whatever. The present excellent and constsnlly improv ing means of commu nication between all of the towus and even remote villages i t the four counties has decreased the hardships heretofore complained of by taxpayers residing :tt long distances front the county seats, and ft has come to pass since the introduction of telephone communication that only one citizen of Somerset county out of every ten who heretofore were compelled to journey to Somerset for the purpose of consulting with bis attorney or the couuty officials does so to day. It is unfortunate that old father Johns gave the city of Johnstown a plot of ground to be utilized for a court house, as his desire like the hopes of the Board of Trade of that enterprising city is never li kely to be realized, at least not until the population of the territory embraced in the four counties it is proposed to cut u p, makes it necessary. &eat Stalks.

Traveling salesman, who perhaps have the amplest opportunities forjudging, all declare that Somerset is the best business town for its size in Western Pennsylva nia; that our merchants buy in larger quantities lhau they do elsewhere and that they are more punctual in making payments, a majority of them anticipat ing their bills, thereby securing the bene fit of the usual discount for cusb. Con firmatory evidence that the business of Somerset Is annually iuoreasing aud is considered valuable is given by the hotel registers, which show that not less than fifty traveling salesmen visit our town every week. The numler of traveling n.en registered at the Hotel Vannear alone since January 1st averages seven day, and it frequently happens that all apartments at that popular hostel rie not occupied by permanent guests are taken by "knights of the grip." On the other hand local merchants agree that the vol ume of business transacted by them has shown a gratifying increase from year to year, that cash sales have become more general, only a small per centageofthe daiiy sales being made on credit, and that the prospects for increase and expansion in the various lines of trade were never more flattering than at present. Every store room is occupied and several new business houses will be erected this spring. Considering the splendid bus) rj ess reputation of Somerset it is some what singular that in the history of the town, extending back over a century. there has never been a Jew or a merchant of Jewish extraction who could induce the people of this community to trade with him, although a number of them. men of fine business ability and with ample means have made the attempt. only to close their shop doors and silently depart after a trial of from six months to a year. The stores of Somerset have been the pride of the community for many years and it la confidently believed that their superiors do not exist outside of the larger cities. Somerset's business houses are n.-t only commodious and stocked with choice goods, but they are so attractively kept that the attention of strangers is unconsciously directed to tberu a models of their several kinds. citizeu and knew bim. children. - Frank Countryman diisd Friday night aflei a lingering illness at his home on Gravel Hill, this liormigh.

Parker is the assumed name given by a prisoner confined in the borough lockup since Saturday, who is being held until tho authorities of Stan ton, 111., can be communicated with. Parker was takeu into custody Saturday night by Policeman Davis on the strength of the strong resomblsiice he bears to a photograph and description of no alleged murderer who fled from Illinois last Au gust, and for wbose arrest a reward of 12,000 has been offered by the authorities of Stanton. II. P. WalL a prominent banker of that place was murdered on August ll:h last, since when officers have been on the trail of one Otto M Utbews, who is charged with the crime. Parker and two companions were given lodging in the lockup Friday night, when their conversation aroused the suspicion of officer Davis. His suspicions were con tinued next morning w hen be received a photograph and description of the alleged Stauton murderer. Saturday evening he telephoned to the County Home and learning that three tramps had been ac commodated with lodging at that institu tion he drove out and arrested Parker. Tbepiisontr is 24 years of age and in telligent. He lakes his arrest coolly, but admits that he was in the Stales of Illi nois and Wisconsin last fall. He refuses to talk about his arrest. At the request of tue Stanton police department officer Davis had a photograph taken of the sus pect and forwarded it to them Monday morning. Tb Fores of Example. The spectacle of a country editor, mov ed by humane impulses, shoveling snow from the sidewalk in front of his resi dence seems to be a novel oue in this couaruuuity at least. During the half bour we were engaged last Friday even ing at lifting the fealhery( T ) flakes that had been tramped under tlys foct of a stream of pedestrians traveling to aud from the railroad station we received a word of sympathy or eucourageinent from every man, woman and child who chanced to pass within hailing distance I never saw yon work before in my life," shouted a loud-voiced fellow who went spinning dowu the street in a sled drawn by a spirited pair of horses. We looked up to see who it was when a voice at our shoulder commanded, "Keep that shovel moving," in a stern lone. W continued to bend over our task w ben a mpathetic neighbor stopped long euougb to say; "I was poor once myself." We smiled, but not a smile of envy, at his aelf-complaisant observation, and slopped to blow our breath on the blist ers that were burning oa onr ungloved palms, when a friendly teamster called out: ''I'd let the fellow who put that artow there take it away again, if I were you." We felt like acting on his sugges tion. bjt ot.e half of the pavement had been "cleaned" before he came with his ise advice and we con Id not bear the thought ot having our neighbors, all of whom were watching our labors from the front windows of their homes, th'nk that we are lazy, even though we were twelve bourn late in following the example they. or their hired man, bad set us. Farmers' Inititate at Hasbsnd. The Farmers' Institute held at Uus- baud, Thursday evening was largely at- tended and the discussion on various topics relating to husbandry were ably handled by practical tillers of the soil. In addition to the discussions, several papers, notably one read by H. J. Hoff man on the "Selection, of Seeds," were well received. Mr. nolfiuan's papc was carefully prepared and contained many valuable suggestions, the result of olwnrv.-.tion and experience. Peter Hef tiny gave an instructive Ulk on the care of farm animtis, aud offered advice as to straius to be raised if th object is to command the best prices. He was listen ed to attentively throughout. "The re lation of the public 3choU to the farm," was the subject of an interesting paper read by J. C Gnagy, which was follow ed by a lively discussiou, participated in by a number of school teachers. The consensus of opinion appeared to be ia favor of rural high schools. The institute was the best and decidedly the most profitable of any so fat held at Husband. X. The Best to he Had.

W e were fourteen days on the watr, having made a recprd-braakiiig voyage, arriving in Manila bay ou Noveuiber2":h, but we did not land until December 2d, because quarters vfere not ready tit us, auu me uocu.rs wauiea to scratca our arms again to keep smallpox away. We lost one day somewhere in the Pacific that is, we went to bed Monday night and when we got up next morning it was weonesuay; uui on toe return trip we w ill have two Mondays, or whatever dy it happens to be wh6n we reach the lsti.h meridian. When about five or six days out from Manila we experienced the roughest weather I ever hope to see on the ocean. For four days and nights we hardly knew whether the ship was going head, into the air, or straight down to the bottom. The waves were mountain- high, and many of them washed clear over the ship, soaking all who happened to be on deck. Again, the ship would roll from one side to the other until the masts almost touched the crests of the waves. This delayed us some, otherwise we would have eaten our Thanksgiving dinner in Manila bay. As lor our mess. we had turkey aud other uolicacies you would tnink could not be had at sea. I acted as storekeeper of the ship, and the steward gave me everything I wanted for our mesa, in addition to a nice stateroom and a good bed, something I had not en joyed since we left Somerset. We passed the Lad rone Islands aud there saw an active volcano, the grandest sight I have ever seen. It stands out iu the water all alone, cot a thing in sight but this mountain of lava with smoke issuing from iu mouth Incessantly. We were within two miles of it, which gave us a splendid view, and an opportunity to take some fairly good snap shots. The Arixona was hardly in Manila bay until Lieutenant-Colonel Barnelt came to see us, and informed me that a job await ed me at headquarters. I did not ask what it was, but a few days later was de tailed as one of the regimental clerks. I would greatly prefer Ming with my com pany, but the Colonel's orders have to be obeyed. Tho officers all treat me kindly, but it would be more like soldiering, now that we are at the seat of trouble, to be with the boys, and I shan't shed any brine if the Colonel sees fit to dispense wilh my service. The happiest hour was wheu we landed, and had an opportunity to greet old friends. Of course, a majority of the reg iment are strangers to me, but I found quite a number with whom I was pretty well Acquainted, but never dreamed of finding here. Howard Cromwell is look ing Iiuer and nealtnior than I ever saw him. We used to address oue another as "Comrade" at home ; now it Is a reality, but he has seen more of army life than I. The old fellows all treat us first-rate, and we are as happy and congenial as if we had all started from Americi together. I would like to tell you something about the city and iu people, but the subject is almost too filthy. The Filpinos are about as low and degraded as they can be, aud the rest of the population is ma la up of Chinese, who are so much worse than the Filipinos that the latter won't have any thing to do with them. Eutire families live in one room together with their bogs, dogs, cows and ponies that is, if they happen to have a hut if not, they lie down under other folks' porches. E very body and everything appears to be half- starved. Dozens of children, some not over two years old, hang around pur quarters at meal-time an 1 beg for any thing they can get. They are like a lot of hungry wolves watching for some one to throw them a bite. Tue city is without sewers or sanitary regulations, hltn of all kinds is emptied into the streets, and you can imagine what that means ia a city of several hundred thousand filthy Filipi nos and Chinese. The Somerset board of health woul.f have had fits long ago bad they been here. When the question of introducing sanitary methods has been decided there will be a grand cleaniug- up ; and when this has been done, Manila will be a great city. Many busiuess men from America aud other countries ar al ready here, aud there. is bound to be a change, no matter w hether we keep the islands or not. There are certainly lots of openings here for meu wilh money, and the first here will have their fortunes made in a few years. The natives are pretty hard workers, hut it takes all they make to keep up the priesthood and their fancy churches. The priests have full control of everything, and they simply take all the poor devils get hold o I do not think it would be a sia to turn Admiral Dewey's guns on them and drive them off the island. This morning I ran up agaiust a case of smallpox right here in beadqtiirters. I went dowu stairs for a glass of water, when I passed one of our fellows stretch- pj on a cot with his face all covered with eruptions. I asked him if he did riot have smallpox, and he said "Nit." I hurried out of his presence, and shortly after the doctors were at him and a guard was placed over him ; everything ia sight was burned. A great many stories have been written home in regard to the alarming amount of sickness amongst the troops. I have bwn here for a month and have failed to observe, anything half as I. I as the sto ries I've read, but I cau't understand why there is not more sickness on account of the filth, but everybody seems to be grow ing fat ou it. Howard Cromwell is a fine-looking sol dier, and popular wilh the boys; Ernest Koontz was sick when we got here, but Is well and doing duty again ; "D h:" Low e, who formerly practiced at Berlin, is sec-0-id bospiul steward a nice position; Prk ("Lord") LiUen asks to be remem- tprtd to George Benford and the boys. Cromwell, John Kealer and myself are theonly representatives of Somerset con n tf, except James Kifll, of New Balti more, the "mascot" we brought along. He ia good boy, enjoys good health, and is a hustler. I presume he will have m re money than any other member ot the regiment when we get borne. There will likely be a Pvely "scrap' when orders are issued for the insurgents to lay down their anna. Tbey have a Strong force just outjside of the city, an 4 nimy people think they will never give np without a struggle; but if it comes to a pinch, Dewey's fleet is close at band, Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar.

Frank Hensou and Newton Moore, em ployes of the Bar wind-White Mores at Windber, awoke suddenly at 1 o'clock Ktturday morning to find themselves tied hand aud foot In their beds with four re volvers staring them in the face. Three tall meu and a short oue held the glitter ing guns, and the intruders, wealing masks, also wore a business-like air that was not to be mistaken. " e want you to go with us to the of 6 -e and open the safe," said one of the tall men to Mr. Benson, as the latter st.-irtcd from his slumber. "But how can I," protested that gentle man, wriggling and twisting in his bonds, "seeing that I'm tied ?" "Well, we'll untie you all right If you'll come with us and open the safe." But the safe is already open and there's nothlug in it," Mr. Benson replied. "There is something wrong with tbecom- bination and the safe s therefore left un locked." Well, whore do they keep the money then ?" asked the tall man with the gun. i bat I don't know," said Mr. Benson. One of the window shades was up and a tail man iu a uiask reached up to pull it down. lie succeeded better than he in tended, jerking the shade clear orf the roller. "Thu'a pretty bai j ob for a bnrelar." Mr. Benson remarked to the tail man in the mask. "That's fact," admitted the tall mail. laughing. "It was awkward." The room was lighted and what was going ou iu it might have plainly been seen from the streot.had there been any one looking. However, the intruders were not dis turbed and after they became assured that neither Mr. Benson nor Mr. Moore would lend them any assistance, two of the party started off ia a quest lor booty while the other two remained in Hie room on guard. Il turned out afterward that the bnrir- lars went away practically empty-haa-l- ed. There was no money either ia the safe or in the cash drawer, but the latter was broken opeu and ransacked. In a few minutes the intruders left and then Mr. Moore and Mr. Benson began astrue- gl3to free themselves, succeeding after a time, whereupon tbey ran across to the company office, arousing Manager II. 1). K Jelblute, who was told w hat hud hap pened. Benson an 1 Mure borrowed a couple of revolvers, their own weapons naving been taken by the burglars, and they rushed back across the street, hop ing to trap the men in the building. Aa they entered the store, carrying a lantern, sure enough they saw two of the intruders and B.nson instantly opened fire, shooting four or lite times at the men as they rushed to a window and jumped out. But unfortunately Mr. Ben sou's aim was hurried and he missed bis target, the m-m miking g vjd their es cape wilh whole skins. It is believed tht these men were pro fessional burglars, aud that they had timed their visit to the ompauy store with reference to the large sum of money that was suppled t be oa h in l there for the pay Saturday. It is known that &..' was to be distributed Saturday afternoon by the Berwiud-White com pany to its miners and other employes, and the thieves evidently thought this big sum had been taken out Friday even ing from Johnstowu. As a matter of fact it went by train Saturday moruing. General Manager Edelblutepaysa high tribute to the nerve of the Messrs. Ben son and Moore. He says they were aa cool as the traditional cucumber, and that if the suggestion of Mr. Benson bad been carried out w hen he came across t he street to arouse the office men, the whole gang might have been bagged. But Mr. E lelbiute himself thought that the men had already made good their escape aud so deemed it Idle to go in search of them. It was fouud that the visitors carried away nothing except the revolvers. They took no good, and this fact couOiija the suspicion that the men were there for the fii.OOQ which was supposed to he in the safe. o effort to apprehend the burglars nas been made. chase of our Loose Roasted Coffees, handling exclusively Chase A.
