any other resident of town and boasts of
the largest and choicest varieties Last
week he brotight to the Hkeald office
a number of Lombardy plums that for
size and flavor have never been equaled
in this part of the country. A singular
freak of the tree, from w hich the plums
brought to this office were taken, was
twin plums each as large as a good sized
walnut, growing on a single stem.

Reformed Eeunion,
The reunion of the Reformed Church
in Somerset county, held August 20, 1SW,
was pronounced a success by every one.
The day was fair and the temperature at
tbe right degree for full enjoyment or tne
exceedingly orderly assembly of several
thousand people. The Salisbury Cornet
Band, whose musical proficiency is well
known, added greatly to the occasion by
their excelleut rendering of several of
their numbers. The program arranged
for the day was an excellent one, and tue
sneakers treated their subjects both ably
and eloquently. lr. A. R. Kremer, of
Berlin, had for his theme, "The Author
or the Sw iss Reformation." Dr. W. Rupp
ofthe Theological seminary at Lencaster,
"The Heidleberg Catechism." Fred. W.
Biesecker, Esq., "Reunion." A. L. G
Uay, Esq., "The Young People to the

Contract Let for the Summer Hotel.
Readers ol the Hkralp and other local
papers have been told so often that work
on the summer hotel on Tayman Hill
would be uuder way at a certain speci
fied day and have been so often disap
pointed that they have arrived at a point
w here they are unwilliug to believe that
the proposed building will be erected
until they have heard the ring of the car
penter's hammer.
We learned to-day from several of the
directors ofthe Hotel Company that the
contract for the hotel building had been
recently awarded to F. Mertens A Son,
leading contractors of Cumberland, Md.,
and that the building will be completed
throughout and oeued to the public on
June 1st next. We also hav it on relia
ble authority that at least four cottages
w ill le ere-ted on the hotel company's
grounds before the end of the present
year. Those who will erect cottage are
Messrs. Ililworth, Simpson, Wood aud

How in the name of the eternal fitness
of things the members of town council
could so far forget themselves as to per
mit the unsightly borough scales, located
on the publ ic square, to be replace! by a
new weighing machine is beyond the
ken of a majority of the people of this
town. No excuse can lie offered for their
conduct in this direction unless it be that
MUincil are alueilu;r Uiduferent as to
the sanitary condition ttt the principal
section of tbe town, or are entirely de
void of artist ic perception. Yew, if any,
of the towns iu this section of tbe fctate
have a more imposing public square than
Somerset. Nearly all ofthe buildings
facing it are of modern design and con
struction, and w hy their beauty should
be marred by a public scale, on w hich
cattle, coal, hay and what not, are w eigh
ed at all hours of the day passes compre
hension. With the facilities at the dis
posal of council it is out of the question
to keep a public institution such as this
in good sanitary condition, and a foul
stench must continue to assail all pedes
trians w ho have occasion to use the
streets in that neighborhood. As if to
show their contempt for oft-expreMed
sentiment in regard to removing the
scales to a less public location council
have caused the new one to be elevated
to a commanding height, where it at
tracts the attention aud censure of all
w ho behold it. Let the scales be remov
ed to a side street or alley.
A Scarry Trick.
The most reprehensible conduct ever
witnessed ou a 111 field in this county
was that of the Meyeradale team on the
home grounds, Saturday afternoon, when
they gathered up their traps and ran to
the railroad station at the close of the 4th
inning, without offering a word in exten
uation of their childish performance.
Meyersdale agreed to play Somerset,
having first stipulated that the game
should be called promptly at 1 o'clock in
ot der that it could be finished liefore the
arrival of the 3:12 train, on which they
proposed to return home. The game was
delayed for a quarter of an hour on ac
count of rain, and was agnin delayed for
fifteen minutes at the end of the first in
ning. Rut the delays occasioned by the
rain were not a marker to the delays
caused by tbe kicking of tbe Meyersdale
players, w ho realized that they were out
classed and doomed to certain defeat
when Iavis struck out the first three
uieu w ho went to bat. There w as only
one avenue of escape h?ft and that was to
prevent five innings from being played.
Every time the umpire opened hi
mouth was a signal for Meyersdale to
kick. The kicking was not confined to
to the Captain ofthe club, but each indi
vidual player hurried from his position
in the field to register a kick. Finally
the anxiously aw aited signal came, the
passenger train whistled for Somerset,
and the badly whipped team rrom the
Metropolis fled from the field. Thomas
who pitched for Meyersdale was dead
easy and was pounded all over tbe field
by such players as Landis, of Berlin, and
Kinkead and Main hart, of Johustown,
who played with Somerset. The score
w as 7 to 3 in favor of Somerset at the
close of the 4th inning.

A Commca Cans of Baldness.
A common cause of alopcia, according
to lr. Henri Fournier, is that the scalp
is washed too often, and is thus lacking
in oil. Many races oil tbe hair, and such
are seldom bald. Some animals also, as.
for example, birds, which possess neither
seborrheal nor sebaceous glands, have a
gland w hich secrete an oily substance,
w hich the animal rubs on tbe skin to
protect the feathers from tbe action of
water. The product of selceous glands
is remarkably rich in fat, and possesses a
notably smait amount of water. Tbe fall
ing of a certain no ruber of hairs is a
physiological phenomenon. The author
is ofthe opinion, however, that tbe appU
cation of oil to tbe scalp would be benefi
cial to most persons, and it is suggested
that the rubbing into the scalp of a po
made or other fatty eubstaucea be made
part of the daily toilet, the pomade to
carry with it some antiseptic substance.

rapidly grew alarming, however, and
during the last w eek it was known that
he had little or no chance for recovery.
Up to within a few hours of his death he

Among Some of tho Fairsit Scenes
On this continent and in the tropics, ma
laria poison tbe atmosphere with its pes
tilential breath, sow ing the seeds of dis
ease and death in every direction. It is
in such localities that tbe preventive and
remedial qualities of Ilostetter's Stomach
Bitters are most conspicuously shown.
For every form of malaria it is a signal
ly efficacious remedy, and conquers
disorder of the stomach, liver and bowels,
remedies inactivity of the kidneys, and
counteracts the weakueas aud lack of
stamina which invite disease by level
ling the barrier which a vigorous opera
tion ofthe digestive and secretive organs
opposes to it. No defensive medicine in
use baa stronger com mend at ions in pro
fessional quarters both for purity and
remedial qualities.

FOUGHT FIFTT BATTLERS.
Horol Eneonntor of "Jako, tho laako-
miar," With Half a Hanaro Bop-tUoo-He
Killed 83.
Makkletos. Pa., Auk. 23. These
mountains, beside giving life and sus
tenance to a race of hardy Americans,
grow snakes. They overrun the hills and
hollows in counties numbers, and in
clude the venomous copperhead, the
deadly rattler, the silent blacksnake and
many species of harmless and prettily
colored reptiles. Naturally they have
enemies, and they quarrel with and kill
themselves and are also destroyed by the
mountain cattle. But their archenemy 1
man. And the greatest of this class is
"Jake, tbe Snake Killer." He has a
reputation that has not been equalled in
seven years and is proud of it. His other
name is Jacob Witraut, and he is a store
keeper in this town, on tbe bank of tbe
Casselman river and right at the base of
the mountain. He ia a veteran soldier
of German descent; a tall, wiry man
with bronzed hands and face, a tawny
mustache, a taciturn nature, much
modesty and great strength and unflinch
ing courage. He is known all over Up
per Turkeyfoot and Black townships aud
from Rock wood to Confluence.
"Jake's" great battle was with a nest of
rattlesnakes, and while he has killed
hundreds of others in bis 65 years, hla
name and fame rest on this particular
encounter, of which be gave me a mono
syllabic account the other day, after close
q uestioning. While his neighbors know
Wiltraut would not lie, he and they have
the rattles to prove that tbe fight really
did occur and that thesnakes were killed.
"Jake" was out gathering blackberries
early in tbe morning and had penetrated
almost to the summit of the mountain,
when be stumbled into, or upon, the den
of reptiles. Hereabouts the snakes
make up a colony and live upon the co
operative plan. There must have been
50, ranging in length from two and a half
to four feet, with from one button to 15
rattles on their tails. This is how the
age of the snake is told. At three years
they get a button, and annually there
after, until they die of age or get killed,
they add a rattle to the Imtton. A suake
is not thought much of until be can make
a respectable noise with his rattles
against the button. Last year a gray
haired rattler was killed near this town
and a postmortem examination showed
that be had one button and 25 rattles.
This marked an age of j years. But, as
Kipling says, "that is another story, and
the man who was the hero is dead."
When "Jake" got fairly Inside the
"den," the whole colony of snakes rotte
in their might and shook their rattles.
This made a dreadful noise and nearly
took away the nerve of the mountaineer.
Then the snakes began exuding their
horribly pungent poison, that filled the
air with noxiousness and almost over
came tbe hunter. The poison thrown
out by one snake is insufficient to affect
anyone; but tbe combined effluvia of 50
snakes makes the air reck with a sicken
ing foulness. Fighting off the feeling of
faintness which, yielded to, meant his
end, for the snakes would have bitten
him to death Wiltraut dropped his ber
ry buckets and seized a good sized club.
The snakes came at hi m from all sides.
He struck with sure aim and a strong
arm. The snakes struck at him, flaunted
their rattles and poured forth their poi
son. "Jake" kept bis eyes wide open
and his club swinging all around him,
He backed away or leaped forward, and
tbe reptiles followed him.
Tbe struggle lasted 35 minutes, and in
that time Wiltraut had threshed over 20
yards of rocks and stumps and under
brush. Then, wben he had knocked over
the last snake in sight, he sat down to re
cover his wind. Dead snakes lay all
around him. He gatbend into one noi
some heap 33 reptiles, and then cut from
tbeir tails a bushel of rattles. These he
brought to town in bis berry buckets.
after he had thrown away his morning's
picking. The rattles were distributed
among friends, "Jake" keeping the
largest sets for himself. Many men
went into the mountain and saw the heap
of slaughtered snakes. These and the
rattles w ere proof enough. In the whole
battle "Jake" had not been injured. His
o nly rtgret is that about 20 of tbe snakes
crawled away among tbe trees and rocks.
Sotneof them were badly wounded, and
"Jake" feels sure that, with tbe way he
swung his club, not a tattler ofthe whole
colony wound have lived, if they had not
turned tail and fled. "Jake" still haa his
rattles. Some of hi neighbors have
fashioned theirs into ornaments and
brightened them, so they glisten like
pearls.
According to the veracious statements
of a dozen lumbermen hereabouts, there
is another den of rattlers on the same
mountain, wherein live anywhere from
100 to 1,0(10 of the slimy reptiles. This is
proven, they say, by throwing a stone
into the den and hearing the loud rattling
and smelling poison. This den is
said to have existed for ) ears, and some
day it w ill be attacked by tbe hunters
and cleaned out. But some ofthe hunt
ers may be "cleaned out," too, tor these
snakes are said to le tbe biggest ever
known and to have strength, a great
supply of poison and cunuing because of
their years. Tbe den, though, is right ip
the midst of a goodsized hemlock thicket,
and when the lumber is needed tbe
makes must go. So that "Jake's" feat
may be more thau triplicated one of
these days. Joux J. Urkoo, In Pitta-

aW Swarming Beef.
II. C. Moore an and John Reybuck,
Rush township, Noi'buinberland coun
ty, farmers, had a thrilling experience
with several swarms of bees Wednesday
that they will not soon foivet. They are
under the care of doctors, as their faces,
head and hands are terribly swollen as
the result of hundreds of sting inflicted
by the angry little insects.
Knowing that Mr. Moore owned a pair
of clippers, Reybuyk visited bU farm
Wednesday in order to have his hair cut,
but while this work was under uay.
Farmer Moore's seven hives of bees be
gan to swarm, and tbe men armed then-
selves with tin pans, on which they beat
furiously in order to attract the attention
of the swarming bees.
Tbe charm did not work, however, and
fearing that the queen bee was about to
lead the swarm to a clump of trees some
distance from his farm, Mr. Moore re
solved to apply heroic measures. Pro
curing an old shotgun he fired into the
swarm and succeeded in attracting un
divided attention. Hundreds of bees
fastened themselves upon both farmers'
faces and bands and stung their perse
cutors with a vengeance.
Run a the farmer would they were
continually surrounded by the angry
bees and it was not until they had al
most buried their face and beads in the
soft earth of a corn field that they found
refuge from the angry insects. The farm
era were nearly smothered before the re
maining bee followed their queen to a
(dump of wood on a neighboring farm.

lFbOfeaP
Ia an Awfal Condition.
Deputy SUte Veterinarian J. Stewart
Lacock, of Allegheny, last week complet
ed a post-mortem examination ofthe cat
tle of William Stoner, of Alverton, West
moreland county, which were slaughter
ed at the sbindery of John Schillp, in
Allegheny, because they were afflicted
with tuberculosis. The worst fear of the
veterinarian were realized, the lnsides of
the animals, to use a common expres
sion, bad simply decayed away.
The original herd of cattle owned by
Mr. Stoner numbered 20 head. There
were four calves of various sges, three
heifers, about fifteen months old, and 13
milch cow. Tbe test showed that nine
ofthe latter were affected, three of tbe
heifers and one of tbe calves. The ani
mabi were all of tbe finest blooded IIoI-
atein stock, and to all outward appear
ance were in a healthful condition, with
the exception of the cough from which
they suffered.
The 13 animals slaughtered were all ex
amined last week and tbe discovery
made was sufficient to completely sicken
Mr. Stoner, the owner of the cattle, who
was present. Tbe lungs were almost
completely gone and what remained of
them were diseased to such an extent
that tbe sight was horrible to behold.
Not only the lungs, but all parts of the
vital parts of tbe animals were affected.
Tbe udders particularly were badly dis
eased, and it is from this source that tu
berculosis is conveyed to humans. The
star cow of the herd was tbe worst affect
ed. In tbe udder was an ulcer twice the
size of a goose egg. Mr. Stoner stated
that this cow had len giving four or five
gallons of the finest looking milk every
day, and he had serious doubts that it
was affected. He was more than satisfied
after what he saw.
Not only in the older animals, but in
tbe younger ones as well, was tbe disease
very apparent. The one calf that was
killed was in an awful condition, while
tbe heifers seemed to be worse than any
of the others, the disease having no
doubt been born in them.
Although Mr. Stoner has not been us
ing the milk from tbe cows since tbe in
spection was made several weeks ago,
yet there is no doubt that the animals
were in a very serious condition before
the inspection occurred, and it is possible
that serious results may follow. The cat
tle not condemned at tbe last inspection
are still on the farm of Mr. Stoner, se
cluded from all other cattle. They will
lie inspected again about the middle of
Septemtier, when there is little doubt
they too will be affected, by reason of
tbeir long association with the cattle that
were diseased.
Mr. Stoner was perfectly satisfied w ith
the teat, and w ill make every effort to
have all the farmers iu bis locality have
inspections made of their stock. He has
several brothers who are dairymen in
Westmoreland county, and he took home
with him a number of applications for
tests, confident that, after be told of the
condition of his own cattle, tbey would
be glad to avail themselves of the oppor
tunity to have theirs tested.
William Waugh, the New Brighton
man who suspected his cattle were affect
ed, has made application to the State
Veterinarian for tests, and Dr. Lacock
expects to be ordered to that place in a
few days. Last week he stated that
some four other New Brighton dairymen
bad asked for inspections, but at this
time he is unable to disclose tbeir
names.
