not expected that these checks wilt lie

to enable tbeiu to avoid the expeuse

A short time ago Miss Mary, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. t J. Kooser, sent two

A Co., of New Y'ork, and last week, great
ly to her surprise, received a letter
from the bead of tbe firm advising ber
that both of her models had been accept

passed. Tbe letter also solicited Miss
Kooser to accept employment as a special
designer and modeler w ith tbe tmn at
terms to be earned by herself. Tbe oiler
U a compliment that many of the best-
known arista in the country would b-3
flattered to entertain, and at the same

probable that Miss Kooter will accept tbe
offer and that she will go to New Y'ork
this fall.

As announced some t me ago, the Listie
Mining Company will iutroduce electric
al haulage at their mines, five miles
north of town, and work to this end is
now under way. The Westinghouse
Electric Company, of Pittsburg, have
secured a contract for furnUbing every
thing necessary except the boilers and
engine, w heh are beii'g constructed at
Krie, and they w ill turn over the com
pleted plant to the Listie people on Dec
5ch. Coal shipments from Listie have
steadily increased during the past year,
taxing tbe capacity of tbe mines, and
with tbe present encouraging outlook for
st;ll greater business the Messrs. Kreba
bave determined to enlarge their mining
equipment so that they can supply any
reasonable demand that may be made
upon them. When the improvement
now being made are completed the Listie
Mining Company will be oire of the best
equipped corporations in Western Penn
sylvania. At the present time more than
liii miners are given steady employment
at Listie, and with the dawn of the new
year this force will in ail probability be
dou Tiled.
Farmers and boarding-bouse keepers
would do well to keep their eyes peeled
for a certain Mr. Thompson, reputed
millionaire, who baa been operating in
the Ligonier Valley and waulas,t beard of

Sow School Building Dedicated.
lue new public school - building was
formally dedicated on Saturday afternoon.
when Sl.Ue Superintendent Scbaefferde
livered tbe dedicatory address. Tbe ex
eroisea were held in the general assembly
room of the building, which has been
provided with romforlable opera rbairs
There wsre few vacant seats when, at two
o'clock, the Somerset orchestra opened
tbe exercises by playing a popular selec
tion. Iwevereud Hoover, of tbe Lutheran
Church, olfdred an invocaiioti, and he was
followed by K. J. Korser, w ho spoke of
the work involved ia the coatrnction of
the commodious buildiug aud of tbe un
tiring efforts of tbe various members of
tbe school-board to erect the best school
bouse to be bad with the money at their
command. He gave Mr. J. M. Cook,
president of the board, special credit for
the part be had taken in planuing and
securiug tue erection of tbe building
about to be dedicated.
Mr. S. R. Sbultz, one of tbe teachers
employed in the schools, lead an enter
taining, but all Iw brief, history of the
borough public schools, tracing it from
tbe time of the passing of an Act of As
sembly appropriating fi,tKX) to the public
schools of Somerset borough down until
to day. He paid a tribute lo Prof. J. J.
Stutztuan, State Superintended Scbaeffor
and o'.bnr weil-known educators who
bave at various times been actively em
ployed in the school of the town.
A (tar a duet by two school girls, i rincl-
pal Seibert introduced Doctor Schaeffer.
Tbe State Superintendent said that he
had inspected tbe building from cellar to
garret, had examined the means of ad
mitting light, of securiug proper ventila-
tiou aud beat, and everywhere be saw
written "value received." He then refer
red to tbe wonderful revival of educa
tional work following the cloae of the
civil war. Before the war, he said,
cotton wa king: during tbe war the
Y'ankeea said powder was king, and after
tbe war it was generally agreed that edu
cation was king. Prior to that time pal
aces were erected for kings but since tbe
war palaces bave been and re being
erected for the common schools. Your
loved Judge Black never dreamed of
such a public school - building a this
when be was a boy, and the college from
which Jim Blaine wa graduated was not
half so good. It is right that our schools
should contain every comfort and conve
nience, for it is only in this way that the
rising generation can be taught how to
enjoy the beautiful and the giKMl. liut
what is more important than erecting
m-tgniticent school -edifices is employing
good teachers. Nothing should stand in
the way of securing tbe het teachers ob
tainable. They should bu intellectually
the best, morally the best, a:i 1 the best
cultured. Continuing, the Doctor cor
rected a false impression that au effort
i being male to create throughout the
rural districts in regard to tbe collection
nd distributiou of tbe State school ap
propriation, every penny of wbicb, he de
clared, is collected by means of a tax lev
ied upon corporations, and not a cent of
wbicb is raised by taxation on real estate.
He illustrated this point by citing an in
stance in tbe Cumberland Valley, where
member of tbe Legislature who bad
voted for the $j,-VVJ,i"J appropria.ion to
the public school found that his constit
uents bad all turned agaainst hint until
tbey learned that tbe money came from
the corporations, w hen he was re elected
by a largely increased majority. The
Doctor said that be baa always believed
that there are more pretty and intelligent
ladies in Somerset to tbesquare inch than
elsew here in the State, and be took occa
sion to impress upon those present that
they owed it to themselves and to tbe
cause of education to see tbat Somerset
and the public schools of tbe town are
provided with a good public library.
'Don't let a rich old bachelor die," be
said. -"until he baa left a liberal donation
for this purpose." .
The closing address was made by
County Superintendent Pritla.
Lieutenant layman Her.
Lieutenant Charles E. Tayman. who
arrived here on last Tuesday, remained
until Saturday morning when he return
ed to Washington. His regiment, the
24lh Infantry, haa returned to their bar
racks at Salt Lake, but he will not rejoin
bis con mand until tbe War Department
has definitely decided whether or not be
shah return to Cuba. Meanwhile the
Lieutenant will visit at tbe hauie of bia
wife's parent. Media, Pa., where he
hopes to recover from tbe severe attack
of malaria fr-vn wbicb be has been suf
fering since before be returned to the
States. "It was my gxid fortune to wit
ness the raising of tbe stars aud stripes
on tbe palace in Stanuagi," saia ID
Lieutenant, "a scene that I shall never
forget aud one that will be memorable in
history, marking as it did the official
roc ignition of America first colonial
conquest. I can't describe the feeling
that came over me when I rode into the
urrcudcred city. We have all read of
such scenes in history, aud have seen
them painted on canvas but to bean
actual witness and a personal participant
in the surrender of a foreign city to a
conque.ing army, w as beyond by fondent
dream. I shall never forget it and shall
always thank my good fortune tbat I was
privileged to be there. The day before
the entry of General Shatter into San
tiago I was sent to Siboney, where some
of my fellow officers tried to induce me
to remain over night, and although there
was no reason why I should not bave
done so, and I actual'. y felt the need of
rest, somehow or other I felt tbat I ought
to return to our regimental headquarters.
I reached the frout next morning just iu
time to accept an invitation to accompany
General Shafler and the staff officers into
the city."
In speaking of tbe criticism of the va
rious departments of tbe military branch
of the service Lieutenant Tayman gave
it as his opinion tbat tbe trouble was in
the system tbat roads such criticism pos
sible, an J tbat the system, not tbe men
charged with the executing the orders of
the War Department should be held re
sponsible. Lieutenant Taymau's views
in this reg.ird are in accird with the ex
pressed view of rainy reguiar army
oilioera.
When aMted in regard to the newspaper
reports that tbe colored regiments were
rushed to the front at Santiago in prefer-
enoe to tbe white troop, tbe Lieutenant
laughingly remarked that the report
contained at least a few elements of truth,
as the soldier of tbe 2 Ith regular infant
ry could testify.

When our report closed Ust week two
R-K-kwood yiwtbs, Zerfoas aud Dnpont,
w ere on trial, charged with op wing a
railroad switch and larceny from car.
Tbe lads succeeded in building oi w
strong alibi and were promptly acquitted
by tbe jury
Phiebe Ann Wiltrout, a notorious Ad
dison township female, was next called
upon to answer a charge of keeping
bawdy-bouse. Tbe evidence adduced by
tbe Commonwealth went to show tbat
Phoebe Ann harbored girls and men of
questionable character, and that scenes of
disorder were frequent at her shack. A
large number of ber neighbors declared
under oath that Phoebe Ann bears a bad
reputation, and is unworthy of belief.
The defendant test! lied-that she kept a
boarding bouse, and tbat tbe gir1 w ho
frequented ber cstablismeut came there
for tbe purpose of playing on the organ
and singing religious songs. Phoebe em
braced religion a few weeks ago, and she
appeared to be shocked tbat ber charac
ter should be aspersed ; in fact, w hen tbe
counsel for tbe Commonwealth was ad
dressing tbe jury, she sat crying as
though she w as a very much -abused
woman. The Jury evidently took Phoe
be's view of the situation, or concluded
tbat the Commonwealth bad railed to
make out its case; leastwise, they return
ed a verdict of "not guilty," and placed
the costs on the prosecutor. Mrs. Wil
trout was overjoyed when she beard the
verdict, and fluttered oat of court with
the air of an empress.
The next case called for trial. Common
wealth vs. Jacob M. Seeae, charged with
selling liquor without license, attracted
more than the usual amount of attention
given to such cases, for the reason that
tbe defendant is one of the best-known
aud most highly -esteemed farmers of
Paint township, and a gentleman of an
hitherto unimpeachable reputation. Tbe
Commonwealth called only three wit
cesses, all of whom declared tbey had
gotten either beer or a mixture of wine
and whisky on the property of the de
fendant. It appeared from tbe testimony
that a shanty had be n erected on the
property of tbe defendant iu which a
"speakeasy" was conducted by unknown
parties, and, it also appeared tbat liquor
was sold in the defendant's cellar. Tbe
defendant declared most positively tbat
he had never sold a drop of intoxicating
liquor in his life, and furthermore tbat be
never kept any In his bouse. Tbe jury
returned a verdict of "not guilty, but de
fendant to pay the costs." Tbe informa
tion was lodged against Mr. Seese by Con
stable Gilbert, of Somerset, who went to
Paint township at the solicitation of the
Baboock Lumber Company for tbe pur
pose of spotting "speakeasies,"
Abram Ober, who was the prosecutor
in the case against Dr. J. A. Luutber, was
placed on trial Thursday morning to an
swer a charge of carrying concealed dead
ly weapons, on information of William S.
Barefoot. Ober, who hails from Indiana
county, it seemrs "got too gay" with his
gun at one of tbe hotels in Windber. It
did not take Rug to dispose of bis casA,
the jury returning a verdict of "guilty iu
manner and form as indicted," five min
utes after tbey bad retired from tbe lox.
When Ober was asked what be bad to
say before sentence waa pronounced, be
blubbered like a schoolboy and said tbat
be waa "not a criminal at heart, and wa
not in the habit of carrying a gun." He
was given oue dollar fine, the costs of
prosecution, aud three months in jail.
Immediately after sentence was pro
nounced on Ober, a 1' oiled Slates officer
tapped bim on tbe shoulder and asked
him to retire to tbe court library, where
he induced bim to band over tbe keys of
bis shanty at Windber. It is said tbat
Ober is suspected of counterfeiting. The
United State officer spent three or four
days here awaiting tbe outcome of the
prosecutious against bim.
Benjamin Beyers, also of Windber, was
next brought before the bar to answer a
charge of carrying concealed deadly weap
ons. From the testimony it appeared that
Benjamin went gunning for trouble r.n
wo or three occasions, and. as is gener
ally the case, soon found what be was
looking after. Tbe Jury, however, seems
to have thought the prosecutor, William
Barefoot, was also a little previous, and
returned a rerdict of "not guilty," and
divided tbe coats between tbe parties.
Beyers was abort of change, and was sent
to Jail until he can arrange to pay hi
ahare or la discharged under the insolv
ent laws.
A bra in Ober, after he had been IndicU d
for carrying concealed weapons, conclud
ed that he would even up with tbe prose
cutor, William Barefoot, and straightway
lodged an Information against bitn for ag
gravated assault and battery. He testi
fied tbat the defendant, instead of being
'barefoot," had jabbed bim in tbe face
w ith the iron heel of bis boot, and tbat as
result be suffered for a short time with
facial paralysis. Barefoot's plea was self
defense. The jury returned a verdict of
"guilty."
Just before adjournment on Thursday
evi ningtbecase of tbe Commonwealth v.
George Zerfosa, Albert Leydig and Carl
Dupont, charged with malicious mischief
by Officer Shepherd, of the B. A O., was
called, and for a moment il looked as
though tbe courtroom was tbe receptacle
for some of the progeny of "The Old
Woman Who Lived in a Shoe." Zerfoss'
feet did not touch tbe floor when he was
given a chair, and Ley dig's too barely
reached tbe floor. Neither of the lad is
over eight years of age. Dupont ia ton

Awful Battle Witk a Lioa.
Colonel Stone the People' Candidate.
A number of bis fellow-country-
Huntinjjdon Olobe, Sept SXh.
The Republican party is fortunate in
having at the head of Us ticket a man of
such uprightness of character and official
probity as Hon. William A. Stone. It
can be said of him as of few other public
men, that his character cannot be justly
assailed. He is honest, ha ability and a
clean record. Tbat his administration
will be wise, able, just and patriotic no
one will dispute.
Col. Stone' work iu tbe House has
been of inestimable benefit, not only to
tbe laboring class of Pennsylvania, but
to that class all over the United Slates.
On his record as a Congressman Col.
Stone wme before the Republicans of the
State and asked that in return for his ser
vices he be given the Republican nomi
nation for Governor. At the primaries,
where all Republicans bad an opportuni
ty to express their preference, Col. Stone
received a majority of the party rote;
hence be ia tbe nominee of tbe party
throughout tbe State aud not of any fac
tion or boss.
Il is reasonable to believe, from Col.
Stoue's past record, that bad bis nomina
tion been due to tbe manipulation of
bosses, be in place of Thomas M. Bayne,
who declined the nomination after receiv
ing it from the convention would have
been named. The action of the conven
tion in selecting Col. Stone instead of
George Shiran, w ho was the opponent of
t'oL Bayne for the nomination, was se
verely criticised, and considerable feeling
was stirred up. Col. Stone, who would
bave nothing to do with a nomination
that bore the semblanceof Jobls?ry, wrote
a letter to tbe chairman of the County
Committee declining It, and asking for
primaries to get Ihe desire of tbe Repub
lican voters in regard to the Congression
al nomination. The primaries resulted
in a vk.tory for Col. Stone, and since then
he baa had practically no opposition for
tbe Congressional nomination.
Had tbe bosses wished to have nomi
nated a aubservieut henchmen who
would "take orders" and do their bid
ding; and had it been possible for them
to control the action of the convention,
CoL Stone would not have been nomi
nated. They know from Senator Camer
on' experience with him, when hi name
wa befjre tbe Senate for United State
Attorney for tbe Western district of
Pennsylvania, tbat he has courage and
cannot be trifled with.
President Arthur sent CoL Stone'
name to the Senate as United Slates At
torney for tbe Western district of Penn
sylvania. He soon after received a letter
from Senator Cameron, who bad practi
cally tbe power to defeat bis confirmation
congratulating bim on his appointment
with tbe assurance tbat it would give him
great pleasure to have it confirmed by
the Senate. But be suggested tbat be
would be glad to bave Cot. Stone select
for bis deputy a particular friend of his.
Col. Stone replied tbat his main reason
for desiring the office of District Attorney
was that be might promote a friend of his
own by making him hi deputy.'' Col.
Stone displayed in this reply courage and
independence. He opposed tbe wish of a
Senator who bad it in bis power to defeat
bis nomination, and shows his loyalty to
bis friend by refusing to sacrifice a
friend's interest to his own advantage.
He will have no office unless he can ex
ercise its prerogative freely and unham
pered. Col. Stone never was and never will be
any man's man. He is big enough and
brainy enough to own himself. His am
bition is to be a great Governor of tbe
second State in tbe Union. If gratified in
this ambition, he will not use bis office
to further tbe political fortunes of others
nor for self-aggrandizement. In his ad
ministration he will know no faction or
party, but will have only tbe best interest
of tbe Commonwealth at heart.
BCTTE, Mont, Oct 2.-W-alter Planck
hard, better ki.own as Zeke Walters, tbe
animal man with Lehman Brothers' Cir
cus, was attacked in the lion cage by one
of tbe linns, who foiled him with a blow
on the bead with its paws aud continued
tbe attack a be lay pnwirnte.
Walters grabbed one of the bars of the
cage and drew himself to bia feet, at tbe
same time attempting to fight off the
brute. Almost blinded by blood from
the wounds iu bia boad Walters dragged
himself to tbe door at a rear of the cage.
Unfastening it be leaped to the street

Those Dreadful' Sores
They Continued to Spread In Spite
of Treatment but Now They are
Healed -A Wonderful Work.
"For many year I have been a great
offerer with varicose veins on one of my
limb. My foot and limb became dread
fully swollen. When I (tood np I could
feel the blood rushing down the vein of
this limb. One day I accidentally hit my
foot against some object and a sore broke
oat which continued to spread and was
exceedingly painful. I concluded I
needed a blood parifier and I began taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla. In short time
those dreadful sore which had caused
me so much suffering, began to heal. I
kept on faithfully with Hood's Sarsapa
rilla, and in a short time my limb was
completely healed and the sores gave me
no more pain. I cannot be too thankful
for tbe wonderful work Hood's Sarsapa
