Cpon inquiry it was learned that tho party of gentlemen in question ha.1 journeyed early Sunday morning to a poiut among the foot hills of the Laurel Hill mountains, where Harry Shaulis, of Jefferson township, is alleged t) have discovered a cave while coon h inting one night two or three weeks ago. Mr. Shaulis and several companions met the S imerseters at the mouth of the alleged cave, a small open ing in tha ground barely large enough to permit an average sized man to crawl through. The membors of th9 party, win had all provided theanel vos with caudles, following the lead of Shaulis, soon disappeared beneath the ground. After crawling 0:1 hands and kuees a distance of perhaps thirty feet they found that they wero abla to stand erect. The bottom of the cive is com posed of a sticky mire through which the explorers found it difficult to make their way. As they alvanced, however, Uie ground beneath their feot bfva'in dryer and a small rivulet of crystal water ap peared in the centre. The explorers lol lowed the course of tho stream in which the volume of water steadily IncreastsL the quantity being added te by the water of a number of tributaries. The roots of giant trees penetrated the roof of the cave and every now and then tha dao im posed trunk or tho huga slum,) of a tree impeded their progress. It was utterly iuip.nsible to tell the exact width or height or tho cavern by tho faint glim mer of the tallow caudles but at various points it cannot be li!ss than thirty feet wide and twenty feet high. After the ex plorers bad penetrated to a distance of about three quarters of a mile, as nearly as they could judge, furthsr progress was cutosT by a wall of stone and slate, in which their was an opening not large enough to pormit the smallest man in j the party to drag his b:.ly through, and through which tho water rushed with great velocity. The cave or cavern is undjabtedly the result of the a'lion of tho waters of ctuntless agas which have sought their way from the mountain top to the sea. laoky Escape of a Train Jam?:r. Persons at the S. A C. station altout five o'clock Monday afternoon felt their hearts stand still when they w itnessed John Hoyle's unsuccessful attempt to mount a north-ltound freight train run ning at a speed of twenty miles an hour. Hoyle, who is the sixteen-year-old son of Amos Hoyle, the well-known section Ito, wanted to go to Listie, and rather than wait for the regular passenger train concluded to travel on a freight at the time puffing up the grade from Kantner's. He valked down the track a distance of several hundred yards from the station and when the train came along grasped a handle baron one of the cars. He evi dently mi.ised his hold, for the next mo ment his legs were dangling under the rapidly revolving wheels. Once, twice, thrice the w heels threw his limits from the track and when he finally was com pelled to release his hold the wheels turned him over and over again, finally dropping him by tho side of a rail. When the train had passed the young man stag gered to bis feet and after walking a few yards fell to the ground. The persons who witnessed the acideut rushed to his assistance. It was found that none of his limbs were broken, but he was badly bruised altout the head and back. He was carried to the homo of his brother-in-law Harry S. Kifer where he re ceived professional attention. He was resting comfortably last evening and will recover. Plow Castings.

The human tenement Is often haunted to the grievous disooiufort of its possea sessor by those malignant spirit, con stipation aud biliousness. But the abom inable pair may be Bpeedily driven out with the potent help or Hostetter'a Stomach Bittwra. This genial alterative, while it relieve the bowels and regulates the liver, never as a drastic purgative does, produces violent effects and weak ens the intestines. On the contrary, the action or the Bitters is precisely analo gous to an effort of nature seeking to re sume her proper fo notions. This fur nishes pretty conclusive evidence that it is better to use persuasive means, so to speak, than to endeavor to coerce nature to a return to duty. Violent remedies produce only a temporary effect, follow ed by a hurtful reaction.

Henry Kregcr, aged about sixty year, a veteran of the war, died very suddenly at the Kivcrsidd Hotel, in Confluence, I Lst T-aesdny afternoon, IMth lust. Mr. Kreger arrived at tho hotel shortly be fore 1:2 o'clock and immediately after fat lug iJiii'i' f complained of feeling sick Dr. Titfiehill as summoned but before he reached I lie lett'-l tho f-ii k man had expired. Death resulted from b- art l.iil- ure. Deceased was a life long resident of I'pper Turkcyfoot township nnd was highly esteemed by his neighbors. His wife died a number or years ago. He is survived by a number of children, all of whom reside in the west. Gotleib Sweitzer, a well-known-resident of Lower Turkey f.tot township, died at his home in Harnodsville, on Thursday, 11 inst, agod about sixty years. He had beou ill for a number of years with a disease that bafll ed the skill of local physicians. The physicians who had treated him were anxious to confirm their diagnosis of his case aud for that reason they performed an autopsy upon the body. The autopsy showed that death resulted from cancer of the liver, that organ being covered with ma lignant cancerous growths. Deceased was a Swede by birth and came to this county twenty-five years ago, when he secured employment as a butcher for a B. A O. Hailroad contractor near Ursina. He married a lady from Berlin, who with several children survive. Mrs. Harriet Ankeny died at her home in Des Moines, la,, on Easter Sunday, April ISth, in the ninety-seventh year or her age. It was February 15, 1S01, almost at the dawn of this century, that Harriet Susan nah Giese first saw the light or day in Berlin, Soiiiir?i county, Pennsylvania. Her rather was Hev. Henry Giese, a na tive or Lichtenow, Westphalia, one or the early and strong preachers of theGerman lt"formod church, whoso name has an honored place in tho early church his tory. Her mother was Anna Maria Baker, born near Frederick, Maryland. Mrs. Ankeny, however, lost her mother when she was but six weeks or age and she was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. John Fletcher, whose kindness to her was so great that she ever held them in the same affection as that given to her parents. Mrs. Ankeny is the last of her family of two brothers and four sisters. She be came the wife orMr. Ankeny on July 20, I.V.53L It was a very happy marriage and celebrated with the usual festivites or the time, a party or eighteen ladies and gen tlemen riding over from Somerset, nine miles distant, on horseback, to attend. The young couple went to the old An keny homestead, in Somerset, to begin their married life. The old farm home was not abandoned until ISM, when Mr. and Mrs. Ankeny moved to Millersburg, O. Their four sons were Itorn in Pennsylvania and their four daughters in Ohio, here the family lived most happily until they re moved to Iowa and to Des Moines. Mrs. Ankeny lost her husband in ISTu, and it has been chiefly upon her daughter, Miss Harriet Ankeny, wletso care for her mother has been a first consideration al ways resteL Born on the threshold of the nineteenth century, she lived under the administra tion of every president except that of Washington, beginning iu that of Adams and closing her life in the initial stages of the administration of President Mc Kinlcy. Having lived through the war of sli, the Seminole Indian war, the war with Mexico and the great civil war, she was imbued with a patriotism most sturdy and inteuse.oftcn remarking to her children and grandchildren to Ito "al ways true to your God, your country and your flag." The surviving children are: Mr. Peter Ankeny, the eldest, now 71 years of age; Captain Ankeny of Corning, Colonel Ankeny, Mrs. J. H. Bareroft, Miss Hattie Ankeny, or Des Moines, and Mrs. II. H. Clark, ot Hartford, Conn., all of whom wero present at the luxlside of their mother when tho end came. There is a Class of People who are injured by the use or coffee.

Burglars Thursday night broke into the Cambria county court house and made a bail wreck or the Prothonotary's office. They bad gained entrance at a window at the rear of the building by climbing up on a pile of cord wood stand ing there, and by using a jimmy, pried the window open. After getting in they broke off the knob of the combination lock that was on the big iron doors with a sledge, and placed a blast of powder be tween the out and inner doors. The explosion that followed was ter rific, and awakened a uuiiber of people jn the neighborhood, but no 0110 knew from what direction, the sound (tame, Dr, Frank James and a number or friends were on Center street, a short distance away, at the time, and heard the explo sion. They immediately rushed over to the bank and postoflice, but as every thing was all right there failed to locate the trouble. After the thieves got in they leisurely pnteeded with their work. Many draw ers were gone over until they dually came to the cash box, which contained about fl'H), which they took. A judg ment note for ?1,0U0 aud a money order for a small amount, were laid aside. The other papers and records were not dis turbed. Everything about the office is a wreck. The doors were blown oft their hinges and the iron bent so as to be worthless. Tho new steel files recently put in are crushed in (liferent places by the flying iron, and the plaster torn off, eta. The thieves evidently thought they were getting into the treasurer's olli.-e, but pinched the wrong vault. They were seen on the street a short time after, but they got safely out of town. Literary ot. czar-like rile exerefced by The Speaker Heed has been the occasion of much comnient and critisin or late. En dowed w ith a pleutitudp of power beside which the President or the I'nited States seen) mean and insignificant, Mr. Heed is to-day tho attbicrat of Congress, Tha threatening danger of this one man power is clearly and forcible indicated in an article which will appear in the May Forcm from the pen of Mr, Hk.nrv Lh'H- t-'lKi.n Wkst, an authority on national politics. The May number of MoClvrk's Maoazink is especially abundant and in teresting in the matter of portraits of famous people. In illustration or a paper by Miss Tar bell on the remarkable work of G. C. Cox in photographic portraiture. there are truly speaking likenesses or Donald G. Mitchell ("Ik Marvel"), Walt Whitman, Eleanora Duse, Henry Ward Beech er, and others; and a series or life portraits or Daniel Webster exhibit that most august and impressive or great men at close intervals from middle life to .the year or his death. Some of the Webster portraits have never before been pub lished; and all have interesting histories, which are set forth in notes by Mr. Charles Henry Hart. Demorest's Magazine for May contains nearly 3)0 graphic illustrations, and there isnotadjll piga la iu ".MjKinley's Administration, Told by the Camera," is alone well worth the price of the Magazine, the photographs vividly de picting the whole pageant, and needing no verbal description.

BAklNO 1-OWItKB CO MEW VOKK. WHO PATS THE EXPENSE AND FBOFII! Peddlers are humbugging the farmers selling steel ranges from wagons over the county. Aside from the large profit they have, did it ever ni-ur to you the enor mous expense thus incurred, all or which is paid by tho purchaser. Figure it out for yourself: High priced salesmen, feed for horses, board for men, wear and tear of wagons, ware house rent, manager at big salary to han dle your notes and money and send them to St. Loais. Is it less than $25.00 for each range sold? Can it Ito less, even if they sell the numltcr claimed T Then the profit. The stockholder must get tho interest on their investment, sal aries of high-priced officials must lie paid, they are not in business for fun, you must pay for all this as well. Inkjs it not represent another $-.(JO on each range to pay for all this? Now, you have left just the amount the range c.tsts the manufacturers, 15 to 10 dollars, you pay the rest. Cm the farmer afford to pay this enormous profit? At the present price of (arm products is it not about all tho farmer can do to make ends meet ? Then why throw away $:!0 00? You might as well, as that amount simply represents tho difference ltetwoen what they are worth and what they sell for. Do they do business in cities and towns? No. Why? The innocent and unsus pecting farmer is their prey. Yes, they have printed some testimoni als, bought them by furnishing repairs free, but they aro Talse in that they do not tell the truth in regard to time range was in use, hence you can look with sus picion on t.e rest contained therein. They could well afford to keep them in repair if they so desired. The interest on ten dollars will keep any good stove in re pair during a lifetime. But they will tell you they never will require repairs; they will hammer them to show they will not break, but apply no test as to durability against lire. You are not expected to take a sledge hammer to make your stove work, although you may feel like it if you buy a range from these peddlers. The present price of steel is as cheap as cast iron, and cheaper than wrought iron. then why should a steel range cost so much more than a cast one. Cast Iron stands the fire better than any known metal. We sell steel ranges, sell them at a fair price. We will sell you a larger and bet ter steel range for f l'H(, and the size sold by the peddlers for $-t"i un, including tank and high cbtset, made by one of the larg est and most reliable -oncerns in the world. And forther, we will give you a written guarantee to furnish all repairs free of charge during a period r five years from date of sale. Fanners, give your trade to home men who pay a tax to do business, lie- sides taxes on their property. They do business at a living profit and you know where to go if all is not satisfactory. We carry the largest and best lines of stoves and ranges iu the county, and guarantee satisfaction in every ease. P. A. Sen KM., The Leading Stove A Ilange Dealer in Somerset Couuty.
