Hue of the iiiost n .tAbledeiui.iistratior.8 ever witnessed iu this town ts k place last Wedm-sday afternoon iu honor ot Somerset's two members of the Fighting Teuth Regiment. An expectant throng surged around the railroad station awaiting the arrival of the overdue traiu lroiu R.Rkwisi aud when it finally appeared at o:.3U o'clock aud Joseph lA'vy "Soldier Joe" and CoriKira! Howard Cromwell wire seen upon the platform of the rear roach, cheers burst from ti e throats of d') men, women and children, steam whistles seresmed shrill blasts, bun-lred- of boras bsited loudly, and strings of cow bells clanged a vociferous welcome to the young heroes. And yet it was not remarkable lhat these two yoiiuj bods of Somerset should have received such a noisy and demon strative reception upon their return home after sixteen months' abseiice, fighting for the stirs ami stripes, first against the Spaniards aud then against the Philip pine iusurgeuts, beneath a tropical sun in the rice swamps of a distant island of the Pacific, for eagerly, and w ithout the consent of their parents, impelled only by the highest and most patriotic mo tives, they had left their homes at the call of their country and now they had returned, browned and hardened, and in the enj lyment of excellent health not withstanding Cromwell brought with him a i hunk of Spanish lead received in the night attack al Malate, w here he w as wounded three limes for they had aided iu "enlarging the map of the I'nited States and extended the jurisdiction of American liberty." Before the train came to a standstill there was a grand rush for the platform upon which the two young soldiers, dressed in their field uniforms, stood smiling. They were hugged, kissed and siuezed in turn by their hundreds of friends, but were finally carried aw ay by the members of the reception committee and placed in a carriage in wailing. Gen eral A. II . Cotl'roth insisted that his should be the honor of esi-orting the sol dier Is.ys to the public square and the ctrriage in which he conveyed them was gorgeously decorated with flowers aud tbics. As six-.n as the lsiys were comforta bly seated in Genertl ColFroth's vehicle, the prissssian, headed by Mayor Pisel, L. C. Col born, E-ij., and Policeman Da vis, mounted on chargers, started up Pa triot street. The procession w as made up as follow s: Carriage containing veterans Cromwell and Levy and General ColIVoth. (I. A. R. veterans. Spanish War veterans. Sipe's Juvenile Band. Somerset Drum Corps. Citizens in carriages. Patriot street was lined with people waving Hags and cheering a cordial wel come to the soldier boys, w ho were kept busy raising their hats and acknowledg ing the talulatjous of their friends. Many of those who witnessed the home-coming of tbo Philippine heroes were so overcome w ith emotion that teais trickled down their cheeks. Nearly every residence aud business bouse in town was gaily decorated w ith ( flgs and bunting and tbe scene present ed was that of a nati onal fete day. All of the business houses were closed lietween the hours of five and six, and wheu the pnsf ssion tiled into the public square the entire population of the t iw n appeared to have assembled there. As soon as Cromwell and Levy had dis mounted from their carriage they were conducted to the top of the steps in front of the Hotel Vannear. Their appearance was the sigual for loud aud prolonged cheers. Captain W. H. Sanner, chairman of the reception committee, expressed the feelings of the great crowd when he ad dressed the young soldiers, saying : "The people of Somerset bave congregated for the purpose of extending their most cor dial and heartfelt welcome to you, com rades Cromwell and Levy, and to bear evidence of our high appreciation of the great honor yon have reflected not only upon yourselves, but upon the town of Somerset. We have watched your career w ith ever increasing interest, our prayers have leeti offered iu your behalf, and now that you have returned to your homes safe and well, we want to publicly i.cknowle.lge how proud we are of you, and express our admiration of your he roic conduct. I now have the pleasure of introducing Kev. II iram Kiug, who has been selected by a committee of your fel low townsmen, to address you on this oc casion." Duriug the brief period Captain San ner was speaking the crowd continued to cheer, and when he finished, veteran "Billy" Hoehstetler, the hero of Savior's Creek, no longer able to control his pent up feelings, proposed that "three more cheers lie given for the soldiers from the Philippines," and they were given with a hearty good w ill. Rev. King spoke fetliugly of the mo tives prompting the volunteer soldiers to leave their homes and journey to tbe far off islands of the Pacific to do buttle in defense of the flag and for the ameliora tion of down trodden humanity. Contin uing, he said that the soldiers of the Tenth have bee.ii the recipients of almost one continuous ovatiou since they enter ed Cie Golden Gate, but lhat be felt that no welcome would so touch their hearts as I he welcome home extended to them l,y their friends aud neighbors. Few young men, he said, have enjoyed such distinctions as have been freely and gen erously bestowed on you. You have Iwen welcomed home by the President, w ho tendered you the gratitude of the Nation, and by the Governor of tbe Com monwealth w ho expressed the great hon. or you have brought to Pennsylvania by eueountf ring the d ,rgers. sufferings and privations of a soldier's life iu the fever infested tropics, but I feel that the gladdest welcome to your tars will be those com ing from your former daily associates, your friends w ho welcome you w ith all their hearts. Corporal Cromwell stepped forward to reply but his voice was too full of emo tion to proceed. After vainly struggling to swallow the lump that occupied bis throat he inauaged lo say. lhat he "was glad to get back to dear old Somerset, Every kindness and every attention." be said, "was showered upou usatSau Fran cisiro aud other points coming across the continent to Pittsburg, where u Monday we were given perhaps tbe most glorious welcome borne ever tendered a regiment of soldiers, hut the happiest moment of n.y life is now, w hen I ftel that I am back in this dear old town. I thought of it often, in fuel every hour w hile I was gone, and it is impossible for me to tell you how glad I am to be saft ly back in the d-ar old place. As you all see I am suffering from a heavy cold and it is impossible for me to say any more, so I will have to call upon my comrade "Joe" Levy to finish my speech." "Soldier Joe" gave bis trousers a couple of jerks and then said : "I have uot pre pared a speech of uiy own and I don't propose to finish Howard Cromwell's. It never occurred to me that the people of Somerset would give us such a reception on our return borne, and lean not find words to tell you how- happy you have made us. Like Howard, I think Somer set is the grandest plaje on earth, aud I am only too glad to get back," No sooner had"Soldier Joe" withdrawn into the hotel office than the great crowd made a break for the young soldiers and during the followiug hour they were kept busy shaking hands with their friends. ERILt.lAUT BAStjfET. Al 9:30 o'clock Wednesday evening one of tbe most brilliant banquets ever given iu Somerset waa teudered Messrs. Levy and Cromwell at tbe Hotel Vannear. Notwithstanding tbe banquet was hastily arranged owing to the failure of the young soldier boys to return on an earli er train and tbe aliandonment of the former plans made for their entertain ment it was a complete and nn.pialified success aud will forever remain as a bright spot in lhd uiniJs of tha two young voliiuteer soldier iu w hose lion, r it was given. The banquet was attended by more than 10U of tbe best known citi zens of the loan, all appearing in full evening dress, ar d was a happy culmi nation of tha day. While the guests were assembliug in tbe spacious hotel pai lors the gnosis of honor w ere besieged by groups of their friends who plied them w ith all sorts of questions regard ing their army cxpuriuncos and by those who sought to gaiu their opinion of the President's expansion policy to which both Levy and Cromwell are firmly com mitted, at least until tbe insurgents bave been subdued. Corporal Cromwell was accompanied by his mother and sister, and by his venerable grandfather Major John M. Holderbaum and a glance at tbe face of any one of them was all that was needed to convince the observer that it was the happiest aud proudest day of their lives. Private Levy was accompan ied by his father Abraham Levy, of t'rsina aud by the daughters of Mr. A. J. Hileinan, with whose family he made his home Tor a number of years prior to his enlistment. Tbe elder Ievy beamed line a new blown rose at every mention of his son's name aud declared that his cup of happiness was overflowing. Corporal Cromwell and his mother. Private Levy and Miss Alice Hileinan, Mr. and Mrs. Charlts W. Walker and Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Scull, occupied seats at the principal table, the two latter uained gentlemen composing the banquet committee. Trayer was offered by Kev. C. F. Gebba-t. Tbe banquet was elalsir ate and w hile the courses were beiug served delightful music waa furnished by the Somerset Orchestra, who never play ed more exquisitely than on this occasion. At the conclusion of the feast Toast master C. W. Walker rapped for order and in a short address exteuded cordial greetings to the guests of the evening. He theu called upou Kev. F. P. Saylor to speak upon "Expansion." Mr. Saylor's address was a gem, leaving no doubt of his position on the great problem that promises to become foremost political question in the coming Presidential elec tion. He is a firm believer in expansion and the reasons he advanced for bis con victions were admirably stated and aroused a responsive chord in the hearts of many of those who heard him. Captain C. J. Harrison responded to "The Ladies" in his usual felicitous man ner, and II. 1.. Baer, Esq., excited his hearers to a high pitch of enthusiasm by bis comprehensive aud eloquent tribute to the "American Citizen." L. C. Col horn, Esq , was the last speaker on the regular program, and his remarks ou "The Hisp inio-Anierican War," were timely and were well received. Private Ievy entertained the company for perhaps ten minutes with a delightful and laughable description of the Philip pine ladies and some of their customs and characteristics, and Corporal Crom- well described minutely the sensations he experienced when he was pinked by Mauser bullets, aud incidentally tbe dif ference in the arms used by the Ameri cans and theSpanish and Filipinos. The addresses were all of a high order. The follow ing ladies and gentlemen were present : Corporal Howard C. Cromwell and mother, Joseph Levy and Miss Laura Hileinan. Mr. aud Mrs. C. W. Walker.

A Farmer Hooveriille Kan Killed at the Fanxtntawney Fair Grounds. Aeronaut Nory A. Crissey, while mak ing a balloon asceusionat tbe Punxsutaw ney Fair Grounds last Wednesday, fell a thousand feet and was dashed to pieces on the earth below. Crissey was about twenty-eight years old and was employed as an electrician by the Johnson Company at Johuslown. He aspired to be au aeronaut and receiv ed instructions from Ed Fredricy, the well-known balloonist of that city. Some time since Harvey Barclay, of Johnstown, who ma'iages Mr, Fredricy and a large number of other aeronauts, received a request from the Punxsutaw ney people for four ascensions of what Is known as tbe "cannon" type. For tbis purpose a sheet-iron tube about twelve feet high is used. It is so arranged that the parachute is stuffed into the top of the cannon and tbe balloonist follows it bead first. About ibe middle of Ibe can non a small opening permitted the bal loonist to release the cannon, which swung around so that tbe balloonist would shoot out feet foremost. Neither Mr. Fredericy uor Mr. Crissey was famil iar with this device. The Punxsutawney people, however. Laving seen the feat performed by Ida Leroy, demanded it, and Manager Barclay arranged to gratify them. He wrote to Miss Leroy at Mt Vernon, ()., and obtained one of tbe can nous, witb a letter of instructions. Ou Monday morning, says tbe Johns town Tribune, Fredricy and Crissey took the cannon to Punxsutawney, and the hitter agreed to make the initial trip in it, which took place at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. He rose without mishap to a height of about one thousand feet, then prepared to deseeud. From below there seemed to be no hesitation In Crissey's movements and the people cheered h'un loudly. He was seen to attach the para chute, a large tube, to his belt, prepara tory to making tbe desceut. Just as be made tbe jump from tbe balloon bis belt broke. He was seen to make grasp at it, but missed, and with one faint scream he shot lo the earth like a stone, his body half turning as he fell, the head striking tbe ground with shock that was heard by every persou in tbe enclosure. His neck was broken, as were nearly all his bones, and his flesh was bruised and bat tered. It is possible that be died before he reached tbe earth. Mr. Crissey was unmarried, and is sur vived by his parents and three sisters. Miss Mary, one nf tbe sisters, is employ ed by Love, Sunshine A Co. Tbe family moved to Johnstown from Hooversville several years ago. Give ths Children a Drink called Grain-O. It ia delicious, appe tizing, nourishing food drink to take tbe plaiw of coffee.

Still Kor Counterfeiting. The Secret Service has unearthed an other band of counterfeiters and secured a large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed t tat tbe average per son would never suspect them of being spurious. Things of great value are al ways selected by counterfeiters for imi tation, notably the celebrated Hosteller's Stomach 13i:t rs, which bave many imita tors but no equals for indigestion, dys pepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. Tbe Hitters set things right in the stomach, and when the stomach is in good order it makes gisnl blood aud o'enty of it. Iu this manner the Bitters get at the seat of strength and vitality, aud restore vigor to the weak and debilitated. Ileware of coun terfeitswhen buying.
