The appeal of James and John R.sJdy, convicted of murder in the first degree ' and sentenced to death for tin) killing of David Berkey, wanargied before the Su prenie Court at Pittsburg on Friday. The case u argued w iih.xil complete paper books, thj appellant saying that they were too poor to have complete b.ks printed, and ifn heard. innont men would be executed. Messrs CoflVolu A Rnr.pel presented the case or the appellants, and iMstriet- Attorney Colboru and F. J. Kooser, Esq., argued in behalf of the Commonwealth. The appellants presented seven assign ments of error on which they hope to have lhe finding of lhe court below" re versed and a new trial ordered. Their first asigument of error is that the Court erred in overruling the chal lenge for cause ofE. B. Maurer, a juror called and sworn, and who was after wards challenged peremptorily by tbe defendants. Mr. Maurer, our readers will remember, said when examined as to bis right to sit as a juror, that he hai made up and expressed ail opinion ua to the guilt or innocence of tha dafendiuts, but notwithstanding what he had read and hcird and the opinion he had expressed, he c iu Id k j int-j the jury box and render a fair and impartial verdict on the evi dence). Trie Court permitted him to take a seat .in the jury box, when he was peremptorily challenged by the defend ants. Tha second assignment of error is that the Court erred iu admitting evidenca which went to show thai two horses and saddles had ben stolen from the barn of a neighbor of Berkey's ou the night of the commission of tho crime. The third assignment of error relates to the evldjnco admitted iu regard to a Con federate $10 note the victim had iu his poeketbook shortly before thsomm'.s si a of th? crime, and which the Com monwealth attempted to place iu the pos session of James Roddy. In the fourth assignment of error de fendants complain that the Court erred in admitting the dying statement of David Berkey, the murdered man. The fifth assignment of error is to tho effect that the Court erred in that part of his charge to the j jry when h 9 referred to the evidence of Horner and Slick, two witnesses who claimed to have seen the defendants at Osborn cut on the morning following tbe robbery. In the sixth assignment of error it is claimed that lhe Court did not adequately present the evidence in behalf ot the de fendants iu his chirge to the jury. The seventh assignment relates to the overruliug of the application for a new trial and to a deposition taken since tbe trial. Messrs. Coff roth fc Rjppel were given one hour in which to present their side of the case, while the attorneys for the Commonwealth were restricted to one- hilf hour. The attorneys on both sides express themselves as feeling conlil""-t that they will win out; the attorneys for lh- de fendants believing that the judgment of the lower court will be reverse and a new trial ordered, while attorneys for the Com ;uon wealth believe that judgment will be affirmed and that the defoudanta w ill be executed. It is not probable that the Supreme Court will hand down an opinion for sometime, owing to the importance of the case and the great amount of type written evidence to be examined.

E. UHL- "Cream Bipeaer" Now Bding Uted By Un principled Sutter Makere. Since the war of extermination against the oleomargarine dealers has been on, the stuff has taken a new form, and the department of agriculture at Harrisburg has unearthed a scheme that is creating consternation among butter makers, and especially creameries, throughout the state. Tbe oloomirfrarine law forbids the admixture of any foreign fat or other substance, "not the prdiict of the cow." For some time past it was suspected at the department thit th law was openly evaded, and detectives were put to work. Tbe of!icer ingratiated themselves into the good graces of a number of creamery men throughout the stale, and quietly bought samples of what is known as "Ciearu Ripener." The creamery man were using it and stated tbnt it added from ten to twelve per cent, to the weight of butter from a given amount of milk. The detectives were also shown how to use it to avoid detection. A number of manufacturers have been bound over for c url and theofticers have been instructed to over the entire state, as it is known that a number of farmers are using tne stuff. The mixture has been analyzed by the slate chemists, who pronounce it to be an emulsion of cotton seed oil. It is believed that the stuff has had a wide sale on the quiet, and they will make every endeavor to bring all offenders to justice. Shade Local Institute.

Deafnen and Ducharge From Ears. In no' class of diseases is there so mnch "putting oil till a more convenient sea son," or more damage caused by delay, as in diseases of the ear. As you value your hearing, tend to it as soon as the least failure is noted, w heu it is as easily cared as other ailments. Maggie ltarbick, Etna, Pa., had most agonizing pain in her right ear, the result of an old neglected troublecausing a very large polypus to fill the ear tightly. She consulted Dr. Sadler, Mil Feu n Avenue, w hose skill in diseases of the ear enables him to secure satisfactory results iu every case. After romoving the growth his trettment removed all i .flunmaliou; stopped all discharge aud offensive odor. Such cases, neglected, lead to destruction of the bones in tbe ear, inflammation of the brain, and death. CATARACT BLINDNESS 112 Successes in 115 operations.

Kbeusburg Mountaineer. On Sunday morning of last week, about 5 o'clock, the peaceful slumbers of Mr. Harry Jones, who resides on the John A. Jones farm, in Cambria township, not more than one-fourth of a milo from the Ebensburg borough line, were disturbed by a racket on his back porch, and, think ing that his calves had broken out, be dreamily resolved to go aud chase them out of the yard. So down he went, and, opening the door, stepped out and was confronted by a largo black bear, which immediately made for the gate, where it got tangled up in tbe chain and had a hard time getting through. Harry was, to say the least, consider ably astonished and startled at the un expected apparition which confronted him, and didn't think of his Winchester ride until tbe bear had disappeared, which of course, was in about a jiffy, or he might have shot him. But under such circumstances who wouldn't be some what absent-minded? Sign Boards. Many of tbe country crfiss roads are either not marked at all by finger boardss or else they are out of position in numer ous instances or so old and dilapidated, that they are illegible. Of course, this is not the case in all townships throughout the country. In some localites the super visors are to b-i commended lor the care ful discharge oi their duty In this direc tion. Finger bosuds, In good shape, are a great aud necessary help to those trav eling ia a comparatively strange country and are missed very m ica if lacking. The law makes it obligttory upjn supervisors to provide finger biards and fixes a penality for failure to fulfill the law in that respect. Those hiving the matter in charge, at a number of points, should give it more and better at tention. The Only One To Stand the Test Iiev.

Baer Block, SOMEUSEr, PA. s v - A FOVDER Absolutely Pur A DAFT REPORTER For the Pittsburg "Post" Find a Mid-Sammer Diversion for the President. BooiU the Hew Hotel, Which H Lotatei is the Bine Badge Mountain. A r.ealous but misinformed reporter writes entertainingly as follows in Satur day's Pittsburg Post: ritts burgers who spend summer in the woods will have a chance to enjoy their outing next year with President William McKinley. This at least will be therm suit if certain plans for a new retreat iu the Blue Ridge mouutaius materialize. These plans call fjr the erection of a pal atial hotel at Somerset, right in the heart of Pennsylvania's picturesque wilder noss. The hotel is now partially com pleted. Somerset is noted for two things. It has more ozone to the cubic foot than any other place of th? kind in that region, aud it is the residence of Aimer McKin ley. This individual has a personality of bis own, but just at present he is known chietly to the country -at large as the brother of tbe President. Mr. McKinley is said to le interested financially iu Somerset's new hotel, which has been in process ot erection for the past four months. Ho recently pur chased several lots in a large plot which was laid out in front of the boUl fur building purpose, and will erect thereon two cottages. One of them will be oc cupied by himself, while rumor has it that the President will occupy the other. mt. McKinley is an attorney and a shrewd business man. The advantages to be derived by the holel company from the President's presence, even for a short time, would be inestimable in a financial way, and it is not likely that he has over looked this fact. The company which is building the hotel is composed of E. D. Smith aud W. A. Soott, Jr., of Pittsburg; General W. H. Koontz, Captain Charles J. Harrison, and Ir. J. M. Loutlior aud George Tayman of Somerset. Almost unlimited capital is back of tho project. The new holel will be thrown opon to the public in June. The main building will be liii foet Ions, with three wings, each two stories high. There will be a stretch of veranda almost one-fifth of a mile in length, and the number of bed rooms will exceed Z The location is almost unsurpassed. Krtuu the front a broad valley stretches for several miles, wilh a range of mount ains far in the distance. More mountains, spurs of the Negro range, lie back of the buildings, and torm a picturesque setting for a quiet retreat. ISutone railroad pass es the place, and absolute quiet, such as tired people often yearn for, is assured. There is another interest attached to Somerset. It is lhe center of the moon shine district, and many a'amous hunts for illicit stills have Usoi participated iu by Government agents. In isstt a memo rable raid occurred, which resulted in the killing of old John Hochstouler by Gon eral Siegei Miller. Both men belonged to the "Ereundschaft," the secret organi zation of the moonshiners. It was alleg ed that Hochsteller had given tbe Gov ernment information concerning tbe "white whisky" resorts in the mount ains, and death was meted to him by the order. The murderer of old Hocbstetller is still at large. Many but futile attempts have been ma lo to capture him, and once in a while a Governmoiit agent has blazed away at him in the distance, but he is yet pnharmed and at large. - Occasionally the obi moonshiner comes down from tho mountains and stalks into civilization for a brief space, carrying his ever trusty Winchester, and always watchful for treachory. An interesting q iestion now arises: Is President McKinley going to Somerset next year for rest and recaps-ration, or is be going to take np the hunt tor Hoch stettler's slayer where his predecessor's minions left off?
