The buckwheat industry of this coun ty is one of no insignificant proportions. Last fall's crop was a very short one and as a result there has been an active 'de mand for buckwheat flour. A leading firm of this place have shipped not less than fifty tons up to this time.

The fortieth annual snsninn of the Som erset County Teachers' Institute was call ed t order by County Superintendent Pritts at l:'J0 o'clock Monday afternoon. The court room was filled to overflowing with teachers and friends of education from all sections of the county. The number of young teachers present was notiouable. Only a few of the old "mas ters," whose work in the school room han commended them to the public, remain iu the ranks. The Institute united in singing "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," at the conclusion of which Elder Mullendore, of the Disciple Church, red a scriptural lesson, followed by prayer. J. A. Berkey, Eso,., delivered the ad dress of w elcjme and Virgil IL Saylor, A. M., principal of the Salisbury schools, responded on behilf of tho teachers. Both speakers acquitted themselves cred itably and Prof. Syior's eilTirt is spoken of a. one of the best ofthe kind ever made liefore a Somerset cnunty audience. Superintendent Walton, of Chester county, delivered a highly' entertaining address on tho development of the will Iower iu children. He illustrated his re marks with a story that drove the mean ing foreebly into ttie memories of those who heard him. If Prof. Walton's ad dress t thq opening se,ion can be t ikan as an index of his work throughout the week he will be a priino favorite w ith the teachers and will send them luicic to their school rooms better prepared to perforin the duties devolving upo. them. A drill in music by Prof. Carmichael followed. It is due to the instructor to say that he made an excellent impress ion upon his audience. Instruction in "Lmgmije Lessons," introduced Prof. A. P.

The Judge recited some cf his own verses in inimitable style and com pletely captured his audience, the major portion of whom were not in sympathy with his political ideas. Before the lecture Miss Julia E. Ward, of California, Pa., rendered a vocal aolo that was well received by the audience. S. G. Shetler presided at the teachers' session, Tuesday morning.

A TAX 05 8ZAXID0 Crcttss Great Indignation Among tho De votees of the Exhilarating Sport. Judging from the remarks heard on the ia recta during the past week the present owners of "Kantuer'a Bain" will not oe held in graUiful remembrance by the youth of this village. The severe wesih er in the early part of the week froze taat placid body of water to a depth of three or four inches, rendering the lies I skating imaginable. Early Wednesday morn every lad and lassie, and a good many older people, got out their skates and proceeded to the aforementioned dam for the purpose of engaging in the exhilar ating exercise of skating. Imagiue lint their surprise and theu their indignation when they learned that they would hare to pay for the privilege of skating on the poud on which their fathers and grand fathers had skated "scot free" every win ter since the natural course of the water had been checked by Joseph Kantner, of blessed memory, who erected a woolen mill a few rods below tho breast of the dam, the machinery of which was driven by water power. M.my persons flatly re fused to put up ?1.W for the privilege of skating on the di'.m, churning that the tax was an imposition unheard of in otner parts of the country, and ps a result only comparatively few ladies and gentlemen and children were seen gliding over the smooth surface of the if, where hereto fore two-thirds of the younger Hpulaliou ofthe entire town were to be seen iu the full enjoyment of the healthful and in- igorating sport. On the other hand, the owners of the dam,' who have lusn at considerable ex pcnsG in putting it iu its present condi lion and who expect to derive a baud some revenue from harvesting ico from it, claim that the uiatketable value of the crop is greatly impaired by permitting indiscriminate skating on it, that they suf fer great loss by reason of having to re move tobacco quids aud cigar stumps from the lsxly of the ice. They also an nounce their intention of keeping the ico free from snow when the conditions are favorable for skating, and believe that they are fully justified in imposing a tax on skaters who desire to avail them selves of private property. The owners ofthe property have so far refused to sell the privilege of skating for an afternoon or evening, but insist on all patrons purchasing season tickets, which range iu price from cents to $1.00. A Merited Compliment. Judge IxHigeneeker closes the first fivo years, or one-half of his term, January first next. Coining as he did after a heat eel political battle that continued to the eve of election day, it was but natural that there should le sore spirit in this county w hen he first ascended the Bench, but his even temper, his urbanity, his wise, impartial and just decisions told in his favor from the start, banished bitter and acrimonous feeling and gave him a standing among our people that few of his predecessors possessed. After all there's mere sentiment in county lines and the worst of it is interested senti ment that plays it for personal purposes and not for its intrinsic worth, if. indeed, it possesses any. But, moralizing aside. Judge Longenecker has won the pro found respect ot our people by his per sonal, moral and intellectual worth, as well as by his manliness. He ia infinite ly stronger with us to-day than he was five years ago when he first came to pre side over our courts. Meyersdale Com mercial. Elegaat aad Large Stack of Christmas Goods.

The court at Eea-'.ing has rendered a verdict of general interest. Mrs. Lydia Biting brought suit agaiit Maxatawney township, under the following circum stances : Several years ago Paniel C. Biting was driving homo on a dark night, w hen his team went over the side of a bridge which was not protected bj- guard rails, and tbe wagon bore him under the water and he was drowned. The widow then sued the towusbip, and she was non-suited iu the Beiks court. The Supreme court reversed this decision and ordered a retrial. The case was on trial for the past three days, and elicited such great public interest In the country districts that the court house was crowded. It was claimed by the defence that Mr. Bit ing's horse was at fault for going over the bridge, but, on the other hand, testimo ny was adduced to show that it wa un safe and the sides unprotected. The jury took this view, and awarded the widow of Mr. Biting fXtm. home of the tax payers of Maxatawney claim that It will be burdensome for them to pay this amount - A special tax will likey be lev led to raise this sum. P20SECTJT2B FOB EK3BACE2Y. Simon Sweitier Alleged to Eava Invaded the Sanctity of a Jury Court Pro ceeding!. There was a genuine sensatiou in court Wednesday morning wliun counsel for Mrs. June Winters, deft iu a civil suit for damages, addressed the .member of the bench and informed them that he was in possession of evidence w hich went tu show that the plaintiff .Simon Sweilz cr had conversed with certain jurymen, then in tho box, in regard to tho case on trial. Instantly a hush fell on the court room. Barristers, jurymen, witnesses aud suitors with one accord leaned ex pectantly forward to hear what Judge Lougcnecker might say. His Honor looked sternly at the jury box and asked Jurymen who had been approached by the prosecutor iu tbe case to arise. All kept their seats. Thou his Honor turned to the pane! selected to try tho next case on the calendar in w hich Mrs. Winters appears as plaintiff and Sweitzer a do fondant aud projionnded a similar in quiry. Two jurors aroso and said that they had overheard a conversation be tween Sweitzer and two jurors, indicat ing the men, of the first panel, the even ing before at the Somerset House. Judge Longoneeker was plainly in censed at the e c'evelopuients and di rected that the witnesses be examined under oath. The bartender at tho Somerset House testified that. Sweitzer and a jurvmaii had drank together the evening before at his bar. The conversation between them was carried oti in Pennsylvania Putch and all he was ablo to understand was a remark of Sweitzer's, who told his com panion that he was drinking "Sweitzer whisky." Another witness testified that ho had overheard . a conver sation between Sweitzer and the juryman he had lsen drinking with, in which the case pending was sp ken of. The same witness testified that the conversation re ferred to was carried on in the preseuce of a second member ofthe jury. A third witness testified that he hal seen Sweitz er and one of the jurymen leave tho office of the Somerset House together. One of the impeached jurors admitted having taken a glass of whisky with Sweitzer and to Sweitzer's having spoken of the case in his presence. He also acknowl edged that he knew he bad done wrong. Tho other juror douied that he had visit ed the bar in company with Sweitzer or that he had conversed with him in re gard to tho case. No further testimony was heard and Judge Longenecker dis missed the two jurors from further at tendance upon the court and ordered the cases mentioned continued at the cost of the plaintiff. Thursday morning one of the imjieHched jurors, through counsel, asked permission of the Court to make further explanation, which being granted, resulted in the juror's lieing per mitted ,to continue in attendance upon the eourt in the capacity of a juror. At r riday morning's session Judge Ixuigeuecker handed a copy of the testi mony ad. luccd to District Attorney Col boru and directed him to take such ac tion as the circumstances warranted. Saturday morning Mr. Collsirn entered prosecution against Sweitzer for em bracery aud Monday morning the do- fendant entered bail for his appearance at court. The case in all probability will lie tried at next week's session of crimi nal court. Iu lso of conviction the maximum penalty prescrilH?.! by the Act of Assembly is a fiuo of f.V and one year imprisonment. Iu the suit of Dr. L. B. Miller, et al. vt. George Taynian and Elizalieth Herman, ejectment for a certaiu lrai-t of land in Allegheny township, the jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff. Iu the suit of C. I Baltzer vs. J. D. Weigh-, which was brought to recover fibll'i, the value of a lot of lunilier, al leged to be projierty of the plaintiff, w hich the defendant took and appro priated to his own use, the jury rendered a verdict in favor ofthe defendant. Margaret Ott was plaintiff iu a suit against Henry J. Wihuoth. Plaintiff claimed flO.OilO damagist sustained by reason ofthe death of her husband, mu.s ed by the carelessness and neglect of de fendant. Oil was employed in a planing mill, owned by defendant, at Sand Patch. He came in contact with a saw he w as operating and was killed. Under iirection of the Court the jury rendered a verdict for the defendant, the testimony adduced going to show that death result ed from contribut-jry negligence on tbe part of deceased. All of the other cases on the calendar were either settled or continued. Court adjourned Friday morning. . - Farm For Bale.

One Canse of Diphtheria They say, sa9 an exchange, that there is danger of causing diphtheria by sleep ing with a coal-oil lamp turned low in your room. However the diphtheria theory is, it must certainly lie very un healthy to have an oil lamp burning con tinually in a sleeper's room. The fumes from the low flames are particularly sick ening and it is a wonder more people arc not affected than are. One has very little idea of the extent hi which this practice is carried on right here in Centre county. Should you happen to ledriviiig through the country districts very late at night you will be surprised that in nearly every farm house there will lie a light, no mat ter how late the hour. Some of you might pass this condition unnoticed, yet to an observing traveler there can not but arise the question as to w by people in tbe country should bo up so late, when they are proverbial for early retiring. In nine out of every ten of tho house you pass there is not a soul awake. The light that excites your curiosity is in a bed room. Turned low, it is throwing out ita sickening, deadening gases for some slumberer to inhale. Permitting chil dren to have a light, w hile sleeping, not only makes cowards of them, but jeop ardizes their health as well. Twenty Years..; For more than twenty years vft have been telling; how Scott's Emulsion overcomes the excessive waste of the system, puts on flesh, nourishes and builds up the body, making: it the remedy for all wasting: di seases of adults and children, but it isn't possible for us to tell the story in a mere stick ful of newspaper type. We have had prepared for us by a physician a little book, telling; in easy words how and why Scott s Emulsion benefits, and a postal card request will be enough to have it sect to you free.

"Somealiody helpu me; some abody helpa me." was the piteous appeal heard by several gentlemen who were standing In front of Cook A fteprits' store aUmt &30 o'clock Sunday evening. The cries came from iho opposite side of the street and an investigation show. eJ that they proceeded from tho hallway leading to Antonio Camphire's barber shop, located above Fisher's look storo. Tbe street door w as forced open, when the body of a man was seen lying at the foot of the stairs. A match was hurried ly lighted aud the sight revealed caused those present to shrink back. Antonio's head was resting on the last step iu a pool of blood ; his fai-e was smeared with blood aud his feet were lodged against the door. He was entirely helpless and had ouly strength enough to sob "some abody helpa ine ; some abody helpa me:" It was apparent that the unfortunate man had fallen down the flight of stairs and sustained serious injuries, and while one of the gentlemen went for 1-r. II. H. Kiminel, the others carried the Imrber up the stairs and into his shop. Dr. Kiinmel found that Antonio's nose had been broken ami that the left dido of 1. is head was badly bruised; but was un able to tell at tho time whether or not 1 e had sustained internal injuries. The man was delirious from pain and at in tervals cried out: "Some alxidy killa me; some abody killa me." After tho I)r. had dressed his wounds and w hile still delirious ho declared that he had been struck on the nose by a masked niau, who had roblied him of his money. letter in the evening he was removed to his home. He was delirious on Mouday. Mr. Harry Kiefer was doing some writing in tho office of Fisher's book store Sunday evening, and when he beard a crash as of some heavy lxxly or object falling he supposed that the sound came from one of the other buildings iu the row and paid no attention to it. About ten minutes afterwards he heard ntouio's appeal for help, and weut to his assistance. It is clearly evident that the Italian, alter rising to his tip toes and turning off the electric light at tbe head of the a:airway,niade a mis-step in the darkness aud was precipitated to the Ixittom, where he remained unconscious for ten or more minutes.
