A big gray timber wolf was re
cently killed near Hollidaysburg.
The beast was killed while devour
ing a lamb. The farmers in that
vicinity have had a great many
sheep killed during the last five
years, and it has been sunnosed
that it was the work of dogs, and
the commissioners have paid for
the sheep under that impression.
Now, it is believed, that this lone
survivor of au almost extinct race
has been responsible for all of the
mortality among sheep

The general increase of wages
throughout the country has at last
been felt in the army. Desertions
are numerous and great trouble is
experienced in getting men to re-
enlist after their first term. Re
cruiting officers assert that $13 a
month with board and medical at
tendance thrown in is as much as a
workman earns at civil pursuits
There is just one thing in the way
of this statement, and that is the
truth.

A disease styled "hemorrhagic
scepsema has broken out among
the cattle of Potter county and a
number of fine full-blooded heifers
have died. The first noticeable in
dication of the disease is when the
eyes of affected cattle begin to set
tle back in their heads. They soon
become unable to arise, and when
lifted to their feet they collapse.
The animals, however, do not lose
their appetites, and apparently ex
perience no pain and die without a
struggle.

Stripping the few remaining tracts
of timber in the Keystone State is
still a favorite pastime. A. Z. Mc
Henry, of Ilenton, has finished saw
ing over 400,000 feet of pine, hem
lock and chestnut on the J. A.
Myers tract, near Tivoli, Lycom
ing county. He will shortly begin
the sawing of between 400,000
shingles at the same place. His
next field of operations will be at
Harveysville, Luzerne county,
about ten mi'es above Benton,
where he will saw out over 1,500,
000 feet of lumber. This he ex
pects to finish in a year.
It was once thought that a per
son with a broken back was cer
tain to die within a few hours at
most. Thomas Combella, who
died at Miner's Hospital, Ashland,
on Saturday night, lived a year
with a broken spinal column. Com
bella was caught under a fall of
top rock and was crushed between
two huge pieces of coal. His back
was broken, and at the advice of
the family physician he was taken
to the hospital, where it was an
nounced at the time that he could
not live a week. However, he
rallied and lived more than a year.
W. W. Power, a circus repre
sentative, says the alleged timber
wolf recently killed in Blair county,
the hide of which has been pur
chased by the Carnegie Institute,
in Pittsburg, was nothing but a
runaway circus wolf. Power has
just returned to Lewistown from a
trip to Pittsburg, where, he alleg
es, that he saw and identified the
pelt as that of Tom, an old wolf
that escaped from the cages of the
Walter L- Main Circus, when that
aggregation was wrecked at Vale
station, near Tyrone, on Decora
tion day of 1893. As proof of his
identificat on he says that under
the left fore leg is branded in the
pelt the letters, "W. L. M.," the
same brand as carried by all other
animals at that time belonging to
the circus.
Remarkable Case.
One of the most wonderful cures
ever effected at the State Hospital
at Fountain Springs was that of
Maggie Jarvis, young girl of Mt.
Carmel, who r turned home on
Thursday. Miss Jarvis suffered
from appendicitis, a tumor on the
kidneys and an abscess on her
stomach, and underwent three
separate operations. At times her
life hung on a slender thread, but
she managed to rally, and now,
though weak from the terrible or
deal, is completely cured.

Twenty-five thousand people will
be in attendance at the opening day
meet of the Central New York
State Trotting Association races to

phia, Lexington, San Francisco,
Boston, Maryland, Delaware and
Illinois have already been entered
and when the first day's meet opens
there will be gathered together on
the track at Wi'.kes-Barre the great
est array of horsemen and horses
ever seen on any track outside of
the Grand Circuit.
No expense is being spared to
make this the most successful meet
ever held outside of the Grand Cir
cuit, and indications already point
to the fact that the records for at
tendance will be doubled. Special
rates to and from all points within
150 miles of the city have been se
cured and every lover of horse rac
ing, the most exciting national
sport, is urged to be present. The
beautiful race grounds situated on
the west side of the river are lfow
undergoing transformation and
when Completed will be the equal
of any grounds in America. No
race track in the country has a
grand stand capacity gr ater than
the one at Wilkes-Barre, it beirg
the largest stand in the State. Every
race, every driver, every horse and
every attraction will be strictly
what it is represented to le, and
thoroughly up to date.
Women McKinley Heirs.
Are Sister and Nieces of the Lato Prcsiden
and Wile.
Women will be the heirs to both
oi the McKinley estates that left
by the President of over $300,000,
and that left by Mrs. McKinley,
also very large.
The late President's estate, which
was left tD his widow during her
lifetime, will now be inherited by
Mrs. Mabel McKinley Baer, his
favorite niece who gets the Sioo,-
000 third her father, Abner Mc-
bKinley, would have inherited had
he lived and by his two sisters.
One of them, Miss Helen McKin
ley, never married and lives in
Cleveland.
The President's will was made
during his first administration and
was witnessed by George B. Corte
you, then his private secretary,
and Captain Charles Loeffler
White House doorkeeper. The
estate amounted to about $300,000
at the time of his death, but has
grown since.
Mrs. McKinley left a large es
tate of her own, which will go to
her sister, Mrs. Barber, and the
Barber children. Some years ago
Mrs. McKinley inherited a large
fortune from her brother, George
Saxton, who was killed in Canton
Mrs. McKinley also received a pen
sion of $5000 a year from the Gov
ernment, which was more than
enough for her living expenses, so
that both her own fortune and that
of her husband are intact.

Johnson Respited.
Charles Johnson, twice convicted
by the Bradford county court of
complicity in the murder of Maggie
Benjamin Johusou and Annie Ben
jamin, and twice sentenced to be
hanged, has been granted a respite
of 58 days. The last date fixed for
the execution was Tuesday, May
28. Sheriff Griffin, of Bradford
county, had sent out invitations to
witness the execution, but on Mon
day a respite was granted. At the
last meeting of the Board of Par
dons Johnson's case came before
them and they refused to interfere.
An effort is being made to briug
the case before the board again at
their meeting in June, with a view
of getting the death sentence
changed to, life imprisonment.

For You Only
Read this announcement. It is your opportunity.
If you don't read it you will miss your chance. The
greatest magazines in this country have combined to be
offered together at a greatly reduced rate. Never before
was such an offer given to the public, and it is safe to
say never will be made again. This year several maga
zines have increased their subscription price, which
shows how much greater this offer really is. The only
reason we are making it to the people of this vicinity is
because the magazine finds they have not as many sub
scribers as they desire in this particular locality. But
only a limited number will be sold at this price, there
fore we advise every one to accept this offer without
delay. When we have received a certain number we
shall withdraw the offer.
