So many of our young people say they
can't write anything for publication.
says the quiet Observer iu the Pittsburg
Commercial Gazette. There is just where
they are wrong. It is a very easy matter
torn rite if you have anything to write
about. If you are interested in your sub
ject you ran write it better than a profes
sional writer who does it at so much per
line because you will write it understaud-
ingly and from the heart out, wbi
makes all the difference iu the world.
It disn't matter if you don" spell cor
rectly, because it is a part of a pt inter's
business to spell, liesides, the editor will
look after tbe grammar and other details.
If you have an old time story of any sort
write it up in your own way and send it
to your county paper. It will be wel
come not only to tbe editor, but to
all the readers of tbe paper. Others will
have stories which they think are as good
as yours and tbey will send them in, and
so it will go until you have a pretty fair
history of your county.
Just sit down and write as though you
were telling someone about it, and that
will be good enough Don't try to show
off.

and by Rev. Garland, of the Bible Chris
tian Church. A large congregation was
iresenL Most of those who attended
rought their luncheon with them and
remained for the afternoon services. The
new house of worship is a neat and com
modious building, well adapted to meet
the wants of the poopie of that vicinity.
Frank John and Harvey Berkley, the
new owners of the Somerset county tele
phone system connecting with Meyers

two of which are to go on at once. The
line will be both a short and long dis
tance system when completed and will
be equal to the liest in the country. The
lease of Ira Beachley, of Beach dale, ex
pired July 1st, and the new owners start'

provements.
Hon. W. H. Sauner last week purchas
ed from the Evangelical Association the
church propertv adjoining his residence
on Patriot streeL The church was erect
ed by the Methodist congregation alxiut
seventy-five years ago and was occupied
as a house of worship'by them up until
some eighteen years ago, when it passed
into the hands of the late owners, and
was occupied by the Evaugelical Associ
ation from thence on until a few weeks
since, when the Esherites took possession
of the building, locking out the memliers
of the congregation, a vast majority of
whom had left the Evangelical Assochj
tion and become memliers of the I'nfted
Evangelical Church. By adding
few feet of ground to the plot occupied
by the church building Capt. Sanuer will
have a very desirable aud valuable build
ing lot.
County Superintendent Pritts purchas
ed the Evangelical parsouago ou Maiu
Cross street from the same parties. .
It is entirely proper that tliere should
be a friendly rivalry between the two !-
cal lire ..miianie when it comes to
matter of which is first to rescind to an
alarm of fire, te.it hre rivalry should
ase. Town council should provide the
memliers of both companies with suita
ble weapons and garments for fighting the
tire fiend. The public does not expect
these young men to replace ruined arti
cles of clothing every time they are call
ed upon to fight a tire, and council
would be justified iu making a lilieral
appropriation to meet the demand ind:
cated. The members of the companies
arc at liberty to provide such uniforms
as tbey please to select to be worn on pa
rade, and all of tbe lad-lies should lend
their best efforts to maintaining harmony
in the organizations. These oliservations
are offered in view of the fact that ru
mors are prevalent throughout town that
the feeling existing between the two
companies is not of that friendly charac
ter that should animate organizations of
this kind. The public is clearly dispos
ed to treat toth companies with equal
fairness and liberality.
Out of a multitude of applications for
positions in tbe borough public schools
the directors made the following selec
tions at a meeting held last Tuesday
evening: Principal. Prof. Stewart Schell;
Assistant Priucipal, II. S. R hoods;
teachers, X. E. Berhey, D. W. Seiberf,
Kiuma J. Huston, Grace Keifer, Kate
Snyder, Bertha C'vooawel!, Mary G.
Fleck, Mrs. Mary i. Connelly.
When the result of the election became
known on the streets there was more
than tbe usual auount of criticism in
dulged by patrons of tbe schools. It is
impossible, of course, for Directors to
please everybody, or to prevent heart
burning among tbe disappointed one,
but it must be manifest to tbe unbiased
that experienced, capable aud successful
teachers should not be "turned down
unless there are excellent reasons for
doing . Another thing that will strike
the unprejudiced as being unreasonable
is that a body of six directors should cast
secret tiallots upon so important a matter
as selecting teachers for tbe youth of the
town. Has It come to this that tbe posi
tion of teacher in the schools of the bor
ough of Somerset is to be filled by tbe
light of a dark lantern, and that success
ful candidates are selected for any other
reason than that of exceptional capa
bility ?
OLD SCORE SETTLED.
S0XZB.SET DEFEATS SOCKWOOD AND
LEA.GTXZ BATTEBT
By a Soon of 22 U 10 Amid tin Wildest
ExoitemtnL
There may be a few people in tbe town
of Kockwood who have a thorough
knowledge of tho National game of base
ball; if so, tbey were not well represent
ed by the team, alleged to be composed
of material from that place, which cross
ed bats with Somerset (?) on the borne
ground Friday afternoon. The first ball
fielded by Rock wood was thrown with
great force and precision at Umpire Hob
lilzelL who bad skipped to second in or
der to closely observe tbe movements of
a runner. Tbe ball went atraigtit to tne
mark and hit Hoblitzell on the neck.
"Brownie" Foreman, of tbe Pittsburg
League, w bo was in the liox, jumped up
and down like a bucking broncho, at
this manifestation of tbe support he bad
behind him, while catcher Sugdon, also
of the Pittsburg League, fell In a faint on
home plate. "Zach" Snyder inquired
of a friend on tbe bleachers, whether be
bad a string on bis "fiver;" "Tim" Mil
ler "walked Spanish;" "Robe" Mariet
ta pinched bis "stake," and "111" Ben
ford signaled one of bis men to "flag" a
south-bound freigbL The roar that
-scended from the crowd present com
pletely drowned the voii-e of "Jimmy"
Hartzell, and bad a depressing influence
upon all or the Kockwood rooters '
throughout tbe remainder of the game.
"Red" Walker's ordinarily colorless
face assumed a scarlet cast w hile sounds
similar to those of rasp on a cross-cut saw
belched forth from bis expansive chesL
Uncle Willis" was keeping "tab" at the
gate, but even from that distant point it
was apparent that bis countenance was
wreathed in smiles down lielow bis
choker. "Johnny" Shafer rubbed his
bald pate until hair sprouted, while
"Tucker" struggled to submerge his six-
feet-two of enthusiasm in a convenient
frog pond, and was kept guessing the
balance of the day bow be would explain
things to bis good wife, in order that she
might be relieved of an impression that
he bad gone "daft" or bad caught numer
ous high balls." This first attempt on
the part of Rock wood to play ball set tbe
crowd delirious with excitement and
w ith the din of horns, whistles and cat
calls, added to the hysterical shrieks of
ladies and children the confusiou was
enough to unnerve even players of great
er experience than the gentlemen front
that asf .ring village.
Somerset has beeu aching br "a go" at
Kockwood ever since Kockwood visted
here two summers ago with Altman and
Sterling Uniontown Amateur battery.
On that occasion it is only fair at this late
day to confess Somerset was seized with
a severe attack ot me "ooewoe-
fulls." In fact, owing to the excited
and nervous condition of the borne
team, they might as well have played
nine wooden Indians. Kockwood," with
the assistance of its imported liattery,
simply wiped up the field with SomerseL
and afterwards tauntingly insinuated
that they would be glad to play more
games with Somerset after Somerset had
made a reputation.
The days of June were nearly done
when Somerset secured' the services of
pitcher Williams who is now doing
phenominal work for Oil City and after
liesting Ligonier and Bedford sent a bold
"den" to Kockwood. Kockwood was
notified to secure a liattery to go up
against Williams. A game was finally
dated for Friday. Somerset's consterna
tion can better be imagined than describ
ed when tbe curly beaded Williams exe
cuted the Arab acL They were confront
ed by this proposition : Give up the game
to Kockwood or secure Hopkins and
Rodgers, of the P. A. C, Pittsburg. Xe-
got hit ions were at once entered into, when
it transpired that Kockwood was figuring
on securing the same battery. Kockwood
was first on tbe ground and when tbey
thought they had a "lead pipe cinch"
Somerset sent a representative to Pitts
burg with tbe result that Hopkins and
Rodgers agreed to play w ilh them. Rock-
wood did not learn of this state affairs
until late Thursday evening. To say that
they were mad doesn't express iL All of
the "cranks" of that place soon bad their
heads together and in a few minutes a
purse was raised wherewith to secure a
League battery from "Conny" Mack. At
midnight it was settled that Foreman
and Sugman would occupy the points for
Kockwood. There was no sleep in the
village at tbe forks of tbe creek that
uighL Xext morning the town was astir
bright and early and when the north
bound train left it carried nearly every
able-bodied man, to say nothing of a large
representation of the ladies of the town,
to the county seaL
Somerset bail not been idle. In addi
tion to Hopkins and Rodgers, Maiuhart,
Kinkead, McCreighL of Johnstown, Barr,
of Pittsburg, and Abbatichio, of Latrobe,
were secured. When the term lined up
wearing the handsome maroon and white
uniforms of the home club, ourown Uhl
and Pugh were the only two recognized
by the crowd.
"We won't do a thing to them," said
"Tim" Miller, "except shut them ouL"
"Brownie is too clever for these Somer
set jays," volunteered another." "Somer
set w..n't toncb second," quoth "Hal"
Ben ford. Similar confident expressions
were beard from all of the Kockwood
coutingenL
Somerset was confident of winning out,
some of the lioys backing tip their opin
ions by a liberal show of money. When
Somerset pounded out two runs in the
first inning their enthusiasm lecame un
bounded and a few of tho "cranks"
became reckless enough to hazard their
shirts.
The truth of the matter is that neither
of the towns was fairly represented, aud
the victory wou is no more creditable to
Somerset than was tho victory of two
years ago to Rockwood. While tbe
players in the competing teams outclass
ed both tbe Rockwood and Somerset
nines, and thus presented an opportunity
to the people of this place of witnessing a
game between players of Xational and
State reputation, Friday's game was not
as well played as many that have taken
plai-e ou tbe same grounds. Public sen
timent will not encourage a repetition of
Friday's game but will expect Rockwood
and tbe Maroons to play borne players in
future contests. Money enough was
speut on this game to defray the ex
penses of both clubs throughout half the
season. Rockwood played three or four
1 of her own men against Somerset's two.
Between (inOand ijo people witnessed
tbe game and liotwitbiunding tbe big
core, interest never lagged for a minute.
When Baker, of K K-kwood broke his leg
in tbe last inning, whil nliding for sec
ond, few of tbtwe on the ground wit
nessed the accident and many of them
did not learn of it until several hours af
terwards. -
If "Brownie" Foreman pitched hin
game, he ia dead eapy lor nuch players
as Push. Uhl, Maiuhart, Barr, Kinkead
and Abbatichio. A few of tbe Rockwood
people, however, rabor under the im
pression that "Brownie" wan a "quitter
from the outstart. The feature of the
game was a left handed catch of a long
centre field drive by Pugh. He was
was cheered by tbe crowd and carried
around the field at the conclusion of tbe
game. One of his ardent admirers sug
gested that the name of the town be
changed to "Pughtown" in commemo
ration of tho event. Pugh also did some
of the heaviest slugging of the day, and
put op a perfect game in the field. Kin
fceads home run, bringing in four men,
set the crowd wild. Barr played the
cleverest game on first ever seen in Som
erset. Lie also did great execution with
the club. Williams played a matchless
game, and has sine been pronounced
the best player in the county by his Som
erset admirers.

The following interesting item appear
ed in several of the Philadelphia papers.
Monday, under a llollidaysburg date:
The fight for the Republican Congres
sional nomination in tbe Twentieth dis-
trii.-L composed of Blair, Bedford, Cam
bria and Somerset Counties, promises to
be the fiercest in many years. Under va
rious pretexts the meeting of the confer
ees has been delayed from time to time.
But now the candidates have finally
agreed that tbe conference shall be held
at Somerset on Monday, August 17. There
are four candidates, one from each of the
counties. There are Joseph K. Thropp,
tbe millionaire iron master of Kverett,
Bedford County ; Josiab 1. Hicks, from
Alloona, the present incumbent; Alvin
Evans, a lawyer of F.bensburg, Cambria
County, and Colonel C. i. Kooser, of
Somerset. It is concedod that the light
lies lietweeu Thropp and Hicks, and the
feeling is most bitter. Thropp and Koos
er are very friendly, aud it is intimated
that Bedford and Somerset may combine
to defeat tbe Blair County man.

Pretty Spot ia Somerset County With Some
Hiitorio Connection.
From the Johnstown Tribune.
Breastwork Farm ' is proluibly one of
the most historical places in Somerset
ounty. This tract of land, including
about ninety acres, is situated three and
one-fi mrth miles east of Stoyestown, and
U owned at present by I'aniel Berkehile.
Tbe pla.-e alounds in picturesque scen
ery, and the artists, wandering along the
mossy lianks of the beautiful, winding
rivulet known as Oven Run, could find
no fairer picture in any other part of the
county than the twenty-five foot water fall
located on this stream. Here, according to
tradition, two of General Forbes men
were killed 1 y the Indians, while fishing,
during the French aud Indian War.
Standing upon this rocky ivoint one can
imagine that the red man of the forest
still lurks in the dark shadows of tbe
overhanging birches and hemlocks, so
intense is the stillness aud so deep are
the shadows which surround this little
cataract. Close to this waterfall is a long
and winding depression in the earth,
leading southward aliout one-fourth ol a
mile. Following this serpentine route
one will find that it terminates at another
picturesque spot tbe place where a large
grist mill once stood. Tbe ruins of this
old grist mill the massive walls and
huge water wheel would doubtless
prove a source of wonder to an individu
al unacquainted with this romantic spoL
High above this old mill nature has
piled a wall of stone, to the bight of aliout
forty feet, each layer projecting over the
other, and affording a comfortable re
treat for the birds and the wild beasts
that once inhabited the place. The birds
still build tboir nests high up in the nich
es and crevices of these nicks, and, al
though the place is now uninhabited by
animals other than the fox, bare, wildcat.
etc., we have conclusive evidence that at
one time this place served as a retreat for
the liear and larger wild beasts, from the
fact that a few years ago a bear's skull
was unearthed by IL M. Slick and Am-
brosss and James Berkehile, while ex
ploring the cavern in these rocks.
This cave is about three hundred feet
deep, and is said to have been the biding
place of Dave Lewis, the notorious out
law. Many are the stories related by our
aged grandparents of the lawless depre
dations of tbe once bold bandit and his
gang. While exploring tbe cave tbe
three young men above named found
human skull and cross bones. Tbey
vere buried. How they came there will
d Hibtless remain a mystery. The mouth
of the cavern is now alnnt entirely clos
ed by huge bowlders, which are constant
ly falling.
Oven Run derives its name from an old
clay oven once situated about a quarter of
a mile above the waterfall, aud which
was used by General Forls?s' army. The
spot where this oven sbxsl is marked by
a large pile of stones. Close by are tbe
graves or tue two soldiers wbo were
killed by the Indiana.
On a field adjoining this are the ruins
of an old fort constructed by General
Forbes on bis march through Pennsylva
nia to Pittsburg, during the French and
Indian War. Tbe field was once a beau
tiful maple grove, but was cleared many
years ago. hen the soil was for the
first time upturned by the plowman
many relics were unearthed. Mien as
knives, arrow beads pistols and pieces of
iron that were almost destroyed by rusL
By an embankment and the stumps of
lour large maple trees, the dimensions of
the fort can be outlined.

The army worms have destroyed about
400 bushels of oats for 8. A. Landis, of
Stouycreek township.
A gentleman who has recently been
driving through the farming region of
Somerset and Brothersvalley townships,
says that tbe army worui is playing
havoc with tho oats field. Many farm
ers are cutting their oats before the grain
is ripe.
Silver Republicans are very scarce in
this section of tbe county, while sound
money tariff Republicans are numerous
as uual. The financial plank of the Re
publican convention suits tbe lioys all
right, acd the Populwtic cry of cheap
money creates a smile when advocated
by Democrats and their twin-brothers.
If the Democrats and their side-show
expect to 100 1 the people iDto an
other period of four years starvation
by their cries of "Silver, Gold Bugs," and
other imliecile arguments, it would be
well for their future serenity to learn the
feeling entertained by tbe working cli
of voters. The wage earners want more

get it, O.

k Bloomer Girl Captorsd at StojMtow.
On last Sunday evening aliout nine
o'clock a young man and a young wom
an (the latter dressed in bloomers) rode
into Kverett, each astride a pony, at a
break-neck pace, says tho Republican of
that place. After riding up Main street
a short distance they turned and rode
back down Main street to the East F.ud
and then came back and went up Hom-
ell streeL Policeman Barndollar,
learning of their fast riding, which is
prohibited by a borough ordinance, was
soon on the lookout for tbe couple, but
they evaded arrest and left town and
were last h.-ard of at the toll gate west of
town. After getting a description of the
pair, and learning of their suspicious ac
tions, be concluded tbey were either
horse thieves or an eloping couple. On
Monday morning, iu company with Con
stable Staily, be started iu pursuit of the
pair, but was not successful in locating
them. On Monday night Constable
Meyers, of York Springs, Adams couuty.
arrived in Everett in pursuit of the
couple and telegraphed to the Constable
at Stoyestown, to keep a lookout for
them and arrest them on sjghL which he

From what we can learn the young
woman was In love with a married man
and was to meet him In Pittsburg, to
which place he had engaged the young
man to escort ber. Tbe young woman
bad taken a horse belonging to
her father and the young man bad a
horse belonging to the married man.
The Constable returned on Wednesday
with the couple and took them home to
their parents. Xeither of them was of
legal age.
Wants a Pardon.
It is likely that at the next sitting of
tbe Pardon Board application will he
made for tbe pardon of Frank Baer, con
victed of arson in the Westmoreland
courts in ISM) aud now serving out a sen
tence of 11 years and 6 mouths in tbe
Western Penitentiary.
Frank Baer was a prosperous young
Greensburg business man in those days.
He was associated with his father aud
brother in the milling business. In an
other section of the town was an exten
sive flouring mill owned by Rumlutugh
iV. Brinker. At Latrobe was the big
Chambers mills. There sprung np
among these mills warm competition,and
fiually bad feeling arose.
One night in the winter of.l8 the
Rumbaugh aud Lalrolie mills were
burned. Incendiarism was at once sus
pected. Lute iu tho summer of 18!t there
was committed to the Uniontown jail a
colored man named Harrison Fox. His
counsel, IL P. Kennedy, discovered that
he knew something about the burning of
these mills and advised him to confess.
which be did. Fox said that be and
William Richardson, a Pittsburg negro,
fired the mills, having been paid to do so
by Frank Baer.
