Mr. Samuel Slicker lost a
valuable horse on last Sunday.

many farmers out of the notion to
plant corn yet.
Mr. Clemucl Woodin, of Berwick is
fast building his summer residence in
Briarcreek, which is about one mile
north of Berwick, This will be one
of the grandest sites in the community.
Mr. Samuel Knorr has under his
management a very large registered
Clydesdale stallion. The stallion
weighs fourteen hundred pounds, and
is only three years old. We under
stand a stock company of twenty four
farmers of Mifllinville and Briarcreek
township have an interest in the horse.
Ash & Bro. resumed operations
at their distillery on the first of May.
We see M:. L. D. Kase making his
daily visits to their place again. That's
tight, Mr. Kase keep them straight.

afraid has killed all the fruit.
A surprise party was given for Mrs.
S. Barton on last Saturday afternoon
being her birthday. She received
some very valuable presents. A dozen
cane-bottom chairs, stands, and many

It will pay in the health of the
family and poultry, to clean cups, and
disinfect with carbolic acid diluted in
water.
There are poultry houses that are not
safe to enter, unless you wish to be
attacked by millions of lice. How is

Now is the time to white wash and
clean up, and make things smell clean
and sweet.
It pays to make pets of your stock
of any kind as you will thereby get the
best results. Red Caps, says the
Fancier's Jteviete, derive their name
from the bright red caps shaped comb
which adorns their heads which in
cocks grows to a large size. The Red
Caps have never undergone any of the
process of breeding strictly for fancy
points alone, utility being placed first,
fancy coming in as an after considera
tion, it is hard to find a handsomer
fowl than the Red Caps. The male
is a bird of handsome appearance,
broad in breast, wide across the
shoulders, and good length of limb.
Comb should be large, erect, nicely
shaped, and full of points with straight
spike behind. It should also be per
fectly firm on the the head. In color (
the cock is rich dark red with black
breast and tail. The comb of the
hen is similar only smaller, the feath
ers on breast, back, saddle, shoulders,
and underparts arc rich neat brown,
each feather tipped with a bluish black
spanglej they are nonsellers, and ex
traordinary good layers, wherever kept
they make themselves favorites. With
regard to utility, very few breeds will
turn out as many eggs in the course of
a year.

A Crank Who Wanted Jay Gould
to Divide Up-
A dangerous crank, who gives his
name as Charles J. Dickson, was ar
rested last week at the request of Jay
Gould. Dickson went on Monday to
the house of Dr. Munn, Gould's phy
sician, and announced that he was
vice president of an order called "The
Christ Followers" and that he had a
mission to kill Jay Gould. If, how
ever, the millionaire would give him
$60,000 and make certain arrange
ments for the distribution of
for his property to charity he
would refrain from assassination. Dix
on will be examined as to his sanity.
On Dixon's person when arrested
was found a blackjack and a pistol.
He made no resistance and after
reaching police headquarters told Po
lice Inspector Byrnes that he was in
the land commission business at Pueb
lo, Col, and left there on April 15.
He related a thrilling story to .the in
spector about four men he had killed
single handed while they attempted to
rob his office of legal papers He said
he joined the "Christ Followers" about
a year ago in the following manner.
He was instructed to go to a place
called Owl's Head, on the Canada line.
He stayed until dark and then about
fifty men appeared and surrounded
him. He was made to kneel and take
a number of blood curd.ing oaths.
The object of the organization was for
the equalization of money.
The council met about the '15th of
last month, he said, and convicted Jay
Gould. It fell to his lot to go to New
York and make certain proposals to
Mr. Gould regarding the distribution
of his wealth, and if they were not
complied with he was to kill himself.
He would go to Hartford, Conn., his
native place, where he had a spot se
lected for the deed. He said he
would have two pistols, one to fire in
to the air and the other to shoot him
self with. This would give the im
pression that he had been murdered.
The police regard the man as a very
dangerous crank.

Saving Human Life
AN INVENTION THAT AI'PRF.IIF.NDS
THE DEADLY OAS IN A
COAI. MINE.
William K. Lord, of Mt. Carmel,
and William Bullock, of Centralia were
in Pottsville today, and appeared be
fore the Mine Commission which is in
session at the Court House. Their
object was to lay before that body
the advantages of a draft annunciator
for mines, that they have invented,
and if possible, to get the commission
to recommend the adoption in their
report.
In coal mines there is liability of
violent and destructive explosions from
accumulations of gas, and this trouble
is peculiarly liable in anthracite min
ing. To obviate this danger it is nec
essary to have an air current constant
ly maintained, the circulation being by
airways. Upon the strength and vigor
of the air current depends the safety
of the mine, and a cessation of the
circulation would allow a dangerous
accumulation of gas which might ex
plode. The purpose of this annunci
ator, a model of which was shown and
its workings fully explained to the
commission, is to furnish automatic
and reliable indication ot the air cur
rent, and to record the same on a di
al, also to transmit the signal sounds
through the medium of a telephone or
electric bell to the office of general
management in the mining district
The device embodies a rotating fan of
any ethcient construction mounted
within the return airway of the mine,
On the shaft of this fan is a worm
wheel that engages with a train of gear-
incr, whose lower termination turns the
index hand of the dial, thus indicating
the amount of revolutions accom
plished by the fan wheel. On the last
wheel of the series is also a number
of stud projections, which consecutive
ly engage with an arm from a rock
shaft, which has an upward stem so
arranged as to come in contact with
the post, causing an alternate opening
and closing of an electric current that
operates an alarm bell, which may be
placed in the central office. By this
arrangement the managers can at all
times be informed of the state of affairs
regarding the air passages in the vari
ous mines; Inside the hollow hub of
the fan wheel is placed a slip collar on
the axis stem, connected by small
spring rods to one end of the aperture;
These spring rods have small ball
weights centrally placed, so that rapid
rotation inclines them outward by cen
trifugal force, which draws the collar
away from a contact screw that closes
a circuit. When the motion of the
fan wheel is very sluggish or stops en
tirely for want of propelling current,
the collar is pressed in contact with
the screw and causes the alarm bell to
ring continuously during the subsi
dence of the air movement, thus warn
ing the management to be on his
guard. I'ottsville Republican.

The most charming Summer Resorts,
of which there are over three hundred
choice locations, are to be found in

cated near lakes which have not been

These resorts are easily reached by
railway and range in variety from the
'full dress for dinner" to the flannel
shiit costume for every meal.

Have more than once been saved by

No Matter How Hard

cough medicine, remember he does it
because he makes more money on it.
Insist on having Kemp's Balsam for
the throat or lungs, for there is no
cough remedy so pure and none so
quick to break up a cold. For in
fluenza, soreness of the throat and
tickling irritation with constant cough,
Kemp's Balsam is an immediate cure.
