DARING ROBBERY! !
Three Men Shot and One of Them
Instantly Killed !
One of the boldest attempts at rob
bury that has ever occurred
Tl .ft
in
roresi bounty, was made upon
Jacob Wagoer, a farmer liviog in
Tionesta township, about five miles
from this place, last evening, at about
7 o'clock. The particulars of which
as near us we can learu are as follows
The members of the family who
were home, at the time, cousists of
Mr. Wagner, his wife, three grown up
boys, and a niece, who is staying with
the family. Mr. Wagoer and sous,
who had just returned from their farm
work, were about sitting down to sup
per, when Mrs. Wagner, who was re
turning from an out building saw five
masked men in the yard, when one of
the dare devils advanced and compel
led her at the point of a revolver to
throw up her her hands and ruako uo
outcry under the penalty of iustaut
death, while the others made a rush
for th6 house, and by the aid of hick
ory clubs they carried iu their hands,
broke open the door, entered the house
and striking Mr. Wagner over the head
cuttiog a deep gash and otherwiso bru
tally beatiog him. The sons rushed to
his rescue, when Jacob Wagner Jr.,
graspod a chair, and knocked one of
the burglars down, whereupon the bur
glar shot him with a revolver, the ball
entering the left side just under the
arm, lodging in the shoulder. During
the fracas one of the other young men
was badly beaten, the robbers doing
indiscriminate shooting without effect.
At this point the robbers took to
their heels when one of the young
men, who had concealed himself up
stairs, opened fire upon them with i
Winchester rifle, and by a well di
rected shot, ended the career of one
of the perpetrators of this high hand
ed outrage, alid wouDding another,
and the officers are now in pursuit of
him.
The dead burglar was found a few
hours afterwards, about ten rods from
the house, and appears to be a man
about 20 years of age, quite good
looking, with red hair, wore a dark
suit of clothes, and his face was con
cealed by a white cloth used for i
mask. Nothing was found on his per
son by which to identify him and was
not recognized by those present as
ever having been seen, aud it is evi
dent he was a professional burglar.
The young man who was shot ia not
considered daogerously injured, and
will recover.
The burglars in their hasty flight
efc behind them three revolvers, which
were intended to aid them iu their in
famous work, they however failing,
as far as known, to secure any booty.
No traces at this writing are as yet
obtainable of the other parties, but it
is to be hoped tbey will be caught and
speedily brought to justice.
Coroner Morrow, accompanied by
Drs. Sigginsof this place, and Towler
of Marienville, and a large number
of our citizens departed for that place,
where an inquest will be held on the
dead body of the burglar to-day.
A photographer has been summoned
who will photograph the dead body
of the burglar, to be used for identi
fication.

D. S. Knox, Commander.
J. W. Mokkow, Adj't.
The Duiy of Christian Relative to
the Missionary Cause.
The last words, spoken by our Manter,
before His Ascension were, "And ye shall
receivo power after that tho Holy Ghost
has come upon you, and ye shall be wit
nesses of me in J udea. Samaria, and tho
uttermost parts of the earth." These be
ing His last words undoubtedly they wore
supremely important ones. If a man of
business were about to tako nteamer, for a
long tour, in a foreign land, without donbt
the few hurried sentences, spoken just heT
i'oro he went aboard fchip, to tho agent
whom ho had left behind in entire super
vision of his property interests would
contain very essential instructions. In
this light we must view tho farewell mes
sage of Jesus. The lirst thought it im
presses upon us is that His people must
have an attainment beyond their natural
powers and indeed beyond the grace given,
al conversion before they aro competent
to do ellective worn for the master. All
the Apostles were htrong minded men.
though tho most of them were uudodu
cated. The entire eleven had been eon-
verted from the time they obeyed the
command to leave all and follow Jesus.
Mut yet not a word must they speak ; not
a blow muht they strike; not an effort
must they exeit with reference to tho
Spiritual kingdom He had appointed them
to establish until they had tarried at Je
rusalem sufficiently long to receive power
from on High. This power was the be
stowment of the Holy Spirit which prior1
to the Day of Pentecost had been bestowed
upon a ftv eminent characters to prepare
them for some important embassy for tho
Master but had not been bestowed unon
God's puople us a mass. The conferment
of this power was to be tho primo and in
dispensible preparation for their life's
wont. it alone could quality them to be
true witnesses of Christ. And ye shall be
witnesses of me not witnesses of Juda
isms; of the dualisiiu philosonhv : of tha
doctrines of the Stoics; of the teachings
of Epicurus or of political economy, but
of me. This witness was to be offered not
at home, in Judoa alone, but in Namai la
ana the uttermost parti of the earth.
These words, primarily spoken to the
Apostles, have equal reference to God'a
people in all ages and locations. Divine,
purposes and agencies of work are as na-
changable as the Being from whom they
emanate. It is still his commandment
that His popple should seek the Holy
Spirit's power before attempting work for
him. Without working for Him they can
not bo His children and without the bap
tism spoken of they ca:i not do eJBeient
work. The mind, the tongue, the pocket
book, the every day lifo must have re
ceived a Pentecostal bestowment or thev
aro certain to fall far short of the Divine-
standard ot requirement. When this has,
been received, then God's people will be-
eomo witnesses of Him. The sane ti fled
minister will know but little in the pulpit
of Darwin, Herbert Spencer, materialism.
pontics or any otner sunject man Uhrist
and Him crucitied. Tho luvtuan will
make his financial sacrifices for witness
ing Christ to the world confirm to the one-
third standard of the ancient Israelite and
his dealings with and lite among bis follow
men will rcllect lustre upon the cause of
the Master.
This witnessing for Christ must not ba
confined to Judea, which typifies our home
churches. It must extend into Samaria
which represents the "home" and unto
the uttermost parts of the earth which has
a parallel with our "Foreign" Missionary
work. The lawless, illiterate thousands,
of our eeutres of population ; the Indian
tribes of our country proper and Alaska;
the Mormons ; the colored race ; the thous
ands who every year flock to our shores ,
from other climes, who largely are out of
sympathy with our social and spiritual
institutions, present fertile fields for tha
sickle of the gospel harvester at home;
and nevor so largely as now were the
heathen of foreign lands so accessible to
missionary effort. Commercial treaties
between their governments and those of
the great Christian powers: the spirit of
exploration into Africa and other sections
hitherto but little known to the civilized
world present opportunities for witness
ing Christ never before within reach. The
question whether Missionary work pays
is one with which God's people should
only in a secondary sense be concerned.
The soldier never asks his commanding
officer if it will pay to execute the orders
given him. He blindly obeys aud leaves
the responsibility of the results with hinj
who gave the orders. Our orders are to
preach the gospel to every creature ; to
witness Christ iu Judea, Samaria and the
uttermost parts of the earth. The salva
tion of souls and the winning of trophies
are in the hands of Him who issued the
mandate. Our duty is to bring all our
sanctified powers of heart, mind, voice
aud purse into obedience to it. A colored
preacher, who hulieved in ohAvinir literal.
ly every command of the Bible, was once
asked what he would do if the Goqd Book
commended him to jump through a stone
wall. "I'd jump," lie replied. "De jump
in' troo it would be de Lord's work. De
iumpin' at it would be mine." This clear
ly illustrates the principle which should
govern all Christians relative to the Mis
sionary CaiiMe.

What True Merit Will Do.
Tuu unprecedented sale of Iioschee's

tonished the world. It is without doubt
the sal'wst anil best remed v ever discovered
for the speedy and effectual cureot Coughs,
Colds and the severest Lung troubles. It
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physi
cians, as it does not dry up a Cough and
leave the disease still in the svstuiu, but
on the contrary rumovos the cause of tho
troulile, heals the parts ariecUd and leaves
tiicm in a purely healthy condition. A
liollle kept in the houe tor use when the
diseases make their appearance, will save
doctor's bil s and a long spell of serious
illness. A trial wul convince you ot these
facts. It is positively sold by all drug-
