being a proposed extension of its wires
from Listie to Windber, where connec

will give local patrons meaus of commu

it is altogether likely that Markleton,

in the circuit before fall.

Esfjtiire Daniel W. Will, of New Cen-
treville, was the victim of an accident on
last Wednesday which, it is feared, will
prove fatal. Mr. Will and his nephew,
Ernest Miller, on that day were employ
f d conveying a lot of furniture and house
hold 'goods from the railroad station at
Rockwood to New Ceiitreville for Mr.
John H. Beoford, who has ramoved from
Johnstow-n to that tillage. When de
sceudiug a hill two miles east of New
Ceiitreville Mr. Will requested his neph
ew to eafc up ou the brake, when the
heavily -load.xl wagon pushed forward
with a Midden start onto the horses' heels,
throwing tiiui under one of the front
wheels. Young Miller tugged hard on
the brake and brought the wagon to a
KUnd still, and then, exerting bis full
strength, toicceeded in lifting the w heel,
which w as holding Mr. Will firmly to the
ground, high enough for the unfortunate
man to drag his body from under it, Mr.
Will was u liable to walk, and had to be
lifted onto the wngon, when he ws taken
to Lis home, and Dr. W. II. Gardner, of
RtH'kwood, ua sent for. Dr. Gardner
fuund that his left kidney bad been rup
tured, and that be bad suffered other se
rious internal injuries. Ou Friday Dr. J.
W. Carotbers, of Somerset, w as called io
consultation w -lib the attending physi
cian. The physicians say that w hile tbe
chance are largely agtirist Mr. Will's re
eoveiiug, owing to bis enfeebled condi
tion, resulting from a gunshot wound
teeeived in the civil war, the injuries he
suslaiued last week should not necessari
ly pnv fatal.
The new of Mr. Will's injury has
evoked the liveliest interest in the south of
the county, were he has long been looked
uion as a leading citizen, and where bis
cHinM-l and advice hive Ixien eagerly
sought by a btst of friends. He is flfty

Fotnre of the Bicycle.
It is agreed by all bicycle manufacturer
that the 1 models represent the perfect
wheel. Improvement seems to be imprj
Mble. Precisely the same thing is true
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It repre
sents the limits of science in overcoming
disease, aud it is impossible to make a
better mediciue for tdie stomach, liver,
kidneys anl blood. A few doses of the
Bit'ers will start weak, nervous aud
bloodless pwple on the road to strength.
A regular course of treatment will bring
back tbe pink to tbe cheeks and sparkle
to the eye. Sleep will come naturally,
and it will be refreshing and healthful.
Dyspeitsia, indigestion and coustip ition
will be completely banished, and the
b'.essiugs or true health bestowed.
Never take a substitute Tor this perfect
remedy.

Men and women who pose a christian
philanthropists ueed to remember tbat il
is cot christian Io teli a falsehood nor to
suppress etsetitil truths. It in ralhcr
bard to credit with iiiticb virtue persons
w bo talk iu print about the "u autou aud
inexcusable slaughter of Filipinos w bo
are fighting fur their rights." II Ameri
cans profewiug an peril r integrity aud iu
tclligenco enn utter such stutf, Agtiiualdo
in his darknc can not be blamed for
even tbe most glaring untruth. No fact
cau be better etfietdithid than fbi, that
his lone deltbciately brgau the iightiDg
by au attack ou the American forces,
which bad for months been scrupulously
held from any agf-esMve movement.
Nor Is there any fact in the whole history
of the Philippines more clearly establish
ed thsn that the insurrectionary organb
zation of Tagals about Manila was detest
ed by the inhabitants of the populous and
cultivating Yisayau islands, aud was w il li
mit support of the inhabitants In other
Philippine island', or even iu the south
ern part of Luzon. It was a mere attempt
of a small minority of oue race to usurp
despotic power over all the rest of the in
habitants, and this some persons profess
ing christian philanthropy call "fighting
for their right."
Tbe American course throughout this
difficulty has been one forced upon the
Government. Spain having chosen war.
Admiral Dewey wps ordered to defend
the Pacific coast of tbiscouutry by des
troying tbe Spanish fleet in the Pacific.
He was forced to go somewhere because
excluded from Hong Kong and other
neutral ports, and w ithout any base of
supplies nearer than San Francisco. He
found the Spanish fleet at Manila, des
troyed it, and was then forced to bold the
port as his base, and to remain there be
cause he could not have retired to any
neutral port for supplies. Holding the
port, be cut otf the Spanish general in
command from communication with oth
er islands ofthe group, and held them all
st his mercy, but could not afford tbat
protnction to life and property in Manila
which international law required from
the United States unfil a sufficient army
was sent to effect a landing. Then the
United States took otejiou of Mauila,
established order there, and hefd the
place awaiting the completion of a treaty
of peace.
Up to this point there was nothing
which the Uuited States could have done
less or other than it did, unless it had rec
ognized the small Tagal minority as enti
tled to usurp despotic power over the rct
of the millions inhal :ling the Philippine
islands. That would have been a crime
of the most shameless sort. This nation
was bound to give Manila protection and
order, aud therefore to exclude the insur
gents who wanted to l'Kit the place. But
it took no aggressive step aguinst them,
and did not even drive them nwc.y from
the immediate vicinity oi Mai.ila, as
merely iu self-defense it had a right to
do, but awaited the completion of the
treaty. Then Aguiualdo, eneoumjjed by
the little Americans in the Senile and
elsewhere, and informed by his ngcnt at
Washington that the treaty would he rat
ified unless he began hostilities, made his
deliberate attack upon the American
fTorcetv and tiled to force his way into
Manila.
Responsibility for the Philippine isl
ands was not desired by the United
States, The President shrank from it.
aud never hesitated to say so, until it be
came clear tbat no other course was pos
sible without sacrifice or honor or shirk
ing or duty. It would have beeu infa
mous to turn the islands back to Spain,
sod more infamous still to leave them to
be trampled under foot in the fieic-e fight
ing of other foreign powers for possession
or them which must have begun the in
stant tbe Uuited States bad w ithdrawn its
claim as conqueror. Indeed, were for
eign interference out of the question, it
would have been shameless to leave the
hostile trilea of inhabitants to fight it out
among themselves and wreck the indus
tries of the island. Tbe responsibility
had fallen upon the United States, aud it
could not be honorably met except by
suppressing resistance to Uuited States
authority and by tbe establishment of
peace and orderly governinr.it. That i9
the work in which the American army is
engaged, and it is difficult to conceive of
a thing more disgraceful lhau the accusa
tion by American citizens professedly
christiau and philanthropic that the Gov
ernment is engaged in a wanton and in
excusable slaughter of men who are fight
ing for their righUt.
Judge Craig Bidia.
Judge Craig Biddle, who is presiding at
tbe trial or Kx-Seuator (Jtiay, is a son or
tbe distinguished Nicholas Biddle, or
United States Batik notoriety, charges
against whom were not dissimilar to
those now made agaiust the distinguish
ed man ou whom his son is silting in
judgment. Here is what "Peon" iu the
Philadelphia Bulletin says:
The presence or Judge Biddle on the
bench is also interesting. Judge Biddle
can look li.uk to the day when his own
rather, after the final downfall of the
Bank of the United States, stood before
tbe Quarter Sessions of Philadelphia in a
position not altogether unlike that of the
distinguished Pennsy lvanian in his court
to-day. Nicholas Biddle, as the head of
that bank, bad been one of the most pow
erful men iu the politics aud finance of
tbe Nation. There has been no charge
brought against the People's Bank which
at some time or another in the history of
the Bank of tbe United States was not
directed against that institution, and there
has beer, no charge against M. S. Quay as
a public man or iu his relations to Penn
sylvania finance which was not brought
agaiust Nicholas Biddle. He was finally
arrested and arraigned as one of a con
spiracy to cheat and defraud the creditors
or tbe bank and with having speculated
illicitly in certain transactions in cotton.
He succeeded in escaping a criminal pros
ecution after much public clamor, and
died, I thiuk, within a yeir or two after
ward. Craig Biddle was at that lime stud
ying law. With all the outcry against the
elder Biddle, there was also much sym
pathy for him as a victim or events, a bad
system, and a political crusade, together
with great esteem for his eminent accom
plishments and public services. Judge
Biddle ha-i been ou tbe bench for nearly a
quarter of a century, aud tbe straightfor
ward processes of bis intellect and his
breadth of view have given bim esteemed
rank among tbe conservative Judges of
strong sense and manly probity. His
ringing delivernnce from tbe bench last
aotumu against rascals who practice po
litical bribery and tempt tbe poor man in
office was characteristic of his beut of
mind.

Tbe best authors aud artists bave been
hard at work preparing two magnificent

ed on April 23 aud 30 Tbe former will
be a Grant Day souvenir and the latter
Dewey Day editioo. The articles and if-
lustrations in both will be appropriate to
the occasion" and most of the matter has
been secured from special sources aud
has never before been published, either
in a newspaper or magazine. Superb
color pages will add to tbe artistic beauty
of tbe both editions. The front p.tge of
the Grant number show tbe splendid
monument which will be dedicated by
President McKinley in Philadelphia, aud
the fnont page of the Dewey number is a
reproduction of a magnifl.wnt painting
of Dewey ou the Olympia, showing him
as he looks to-day. Be sure to get both
these editions, which will be the band-

be ordered to the Philippines.
