Says tbe Connellsville Courier : A pret
ty autumn evening, popular young people
and pretty arrangements made the mar
riage of E. G. Sen ell. Teller or tbe Sec
ond National Bank or this place, to Miss
Mary Newcomer, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Albert Newcomer of Lower Tyrone
township, Wednesday evening, one of
the fall weddings to be remembered. Tbe
ceremony took place in tbe parlor of the
bride's home near Dawson, the whole
bouse having the marriage tinge about it,
in which autumn flowers and gay guesta
made harmony as they mingled. Tbe
bridl couple entered tbe parlor while
Kiferle A Anderson's Orchestra played
Mendelssohu's "Wedding March" and j
the nuptial knot was tied by Kev.
W. R. Warren, pastor of the Christian
Church of this place, with tbe nngser-j
vice. The bride was dressed in a pretty
gown or mouselin de sole, and carried ,
while roses. The brideaiusid. Miss Elis
abeth Newcomer, a younger sister or tbe
bride, was dn awed in piuk silk and car
ried pink rosea. Tbe groom was attend
ed by Lis brother, Samuel Fercy Schell,
and the ushera were Alexander Bon
bright Hood and Heury Clay Norton.
Immediately following the marriage the
guests showered their congratulations
upon the happy oouple, after which the
supper was served. Wbeo tbe bride had
cut the wedding cake, a very prty con

Want Csaaty Tair.
A movement is on fx to re-establish
annual County Fairs in this place, and
the gentlemen at tbe head or tbe enter
prise feel sanguine that wbeu their plans
have been fully formulated and preseut-
ea 10 tbe public that they will be accept
ed and the movement carried forward to
aucouanful concl union. It has leen
some twenty years since th, people of Ibis
county nell a Fair under the auspices of
the Somerset County Agricultural Socie
ty. At that time interest dragged more
on account of mismanagement than on
account or lack or public interest, and as
a result the grounds owned by tbe Asso
ciation were sold to pay its debts. No
county in the State bas perhaps made
greater strides in both an agricultural
ana commercial sense during recent
years than Somerset, and every indica
tion points to its making still more
marked progress in tbe future. While
Somerset county hss become prominent
by reason of its splendid and constantly
improving agricultural resources the
time bas arrived when our mineral
wealth is attracting general interest and
speedy development promises to make
Somerset one or tbe principal bitumi
nous coal centers in Pennsylvania. It ia
believed that the next census will show
that Somerset has increased at least fifteen
per cent, in population during the past
decade, and unless all present indications
prove worthless this percentage of in
crease will be multiplied several times
during the coming ten years. That the
average wealth of our population bas
rapidly increased is beet illustrated by
the marked changes that have taken
place in improved real estate, tbe greatly
augmented number of transfers of own
ership, and tbe few and diminishing
number of foreclosures. While new av
enues have been opened for employment
the chief reliance or Somerset county is
still and will be for many years its rich
agricultural resources, and while Increas
ed wealth will be brought to owners or
real estate by tbe sale or tbeir .mineral
deposits, profitable farming will continue
to be tbe chief employment or a majority
or our population.
The projectors or the proposed County
Fair, while not proposing to make it an
exclusive agricultural exhibit, where on
ly big punipkina and cabbage will be
placed in competition, together with do
mestic animals and fowls, intend that ag
ricultural and kindred pursuits shall re
ceive first attention, while every article
or merit grown or manufactured within
the borders of tbe county shall be shown
to advantage and all with a view of en
couraging our people and stimulating
them to renewed efforts.
Adjoining counties have found annual
county fairs not only entertaining and
instructive, but claim that they have been
the means or creating a wider and deeper
interest in the material and social welfare
of tbeir counties.
A Great Engliak Statesman's Seerst.
The secret of a celebrated English
statesman's long life was his systematic
way of eating. Every bite of food was
chewed thirty times before swallowing.
Tbe result was be naturally enjoyed good
health. Most men and women bolt tbeir
food and eat things which were never in
tended to be eaten. Tbey become cos
tive, have a bad complexion, lose flesh,
ere irritable and nervous, aud the first
thing they know they are "played out."
It is gratifying to know that Hosteller's
Stomach Bitters cures stomach troubles.
It is a purely vegetable medicine that
has stood the test for many years. It
cures cases which seem to be hopeless.
Sufferers from any disorder or stomach,

Eoraea Going Up Supply Boon
"A reaction bas set in tbst is rapidly
raising the price of horseflesh to tbe old-
time standards," said ao np town doctor.
who is a lover of good trotters. "When
tbe bicycie and the- trolley cars and the
auto-wagons or different kinds came into
use there was a lowering or the price or
horses to a point where it didn't pay to
raise them, and fanners and others turn
ed their attention to something ele, Tbe
natural result was that tbe number or
good horses became scarce, and the prices
are once more getting to be pretty steep.
There ha beeo a 25 per cent, increase
over last summer in the price or ordinary
horses, and the bargains that were going
around are not to be bad. The horse
dealers report that good auimals, that ia,
young stock, are very scarce in the West,
as breeding horses has been unprofitable.
When tbe prices get very high I suppose
everybody will start into breeding again,
and then there will come another drop.
Just now a horse that could be bought
last year fo f 100 can't be toached for $130,
and sellers are much suffer than tbey
bave been in several years." Brooklyn

How Some Unpaid Taxes Kay oe Collected.
An act passed April 28, 1899, reads as
follows: "That no person who shall owe
anr county or State taxes shall be entitled
to receive from the county to which be
owes such taxes after the same beoome
payable, any money whatsoever for wit
ness fees, mileage or other fees or claims
of whatever nature, or any other compen
sation, (jurcHV fees and jurors' mileage
excepted) until such taxes are fully paid
and satisfied, and that such taxes, when
due and payable shall be taken and deem
ed as a legitimate set off to any claim or
rUima dus anr person for moneys due
them for reea, mileage or other claims
from the county in which said taxes are
lev lei. notwithstanding the commission
ers a tall have exonerated the tax-collector
having charge or tbe collection of aaid
taxes from the collection or the same.
This act shall apply to tees now claimed
nil taxes now due and remaining no-
paid, aa well as fees hereafter to become
due."
This act la especially Interesting to the
taxpayers, as it will allow tbe com ml s
ioners to collect sums which are due th
county.
Jaigs Crawford Bays a Hots la Hot Always
a Debt
Judge R. L. Crawford, of Greene coun
ty, specially presiding in the orpbaus'
court, in Pittsburg, handed down an
opinion on the matter or the exceptions to
the account or Elizabeth C McKown, ex
ecutrix of James C. McKown. Margan-t
Alwell, a sister or the decedent, presented
a claim of $l!l.oHl, baaed on a note draw n
in her favor, bnt never delivered to ber
during MuKowu'a lifetime. After bis
death it was found among bis papers.
The court gave this opinion on the note
"Tbe note, not having been dolivemd
by McKown in his lifetime, can only be
considered, not aa a debt itself, but mere
ly as an evidence of debt, in connection
with other facta and circumstances as
might go to support the claim of Mrs. A t-
well. The fails offered in that line clearly
negative tbe idea that he could bave owed
ber any such sum, and in our opinion the
note not only fails to aid her in supporting
ber claim, but, in connection with other
facta, her claim is discredited altogether."
TJeei Eil Brains.
Some time ago a brakeman on tbe Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad used bis brains
and saved a passenger train from running
into two derailed cars. The Company
sent him a check for foi) and posted a bul
letin complimenting him for his quick'
ness of thought.
A few days later. Engineer John Hag'
erty was oiling his engine at Connells
ville, while waiting for tbe passengers to
alight. He heard another train coming
and believed that it was not nnder proper
control. He sprang into his cab, opeued
tbe throttle, and started bis train. Tbe
other engine struck tbe rear car, but it
was not a bard blow and Hagerty's
promptness saved ten or a dozen lives.
The Company has ordered a handsome
gold watch, suitably Inscribed, and a gold
chain for Engineer Hagerty, as a reward
for bis devotion to duty and "using bis
brains" in time or emergency.
Prospect for Good Prices for Wheat.
Statistics prepared by John Hyde, tbe
expert or tbe Agricultural Department at
Washington, abow that the wheat supply
or the world this year, as compared with
last, is one eighth smaller. The average
or three or the best estimates or tbe wheat
crop for 1&)9 gives tbe total yield as 2,540,-
000,000 bushels, leavinga difference or 327,
000,000 bushels between the crop this year
and last. In everything save in maize,
there is a striking shortage, while in
maize there is a surplus.
These facts can not but help to influence
the price or wheat for the better. While
the world'a crop has suown a shortage.
the crop in this country is a record-break
ing one. Tbe world therefore must come
to the American markets for flour and its
bread for the coming twelve months. Tbe
certainty that this will occur will have
the effect or strengthening prices.
