How frequently tho term "gents," is
used In salu'atlon on the streets, yet it Is
very poor form. Some go to tho extent
of claiming It decidedly Ill-bred to so
abroviato it. It may do for a business
man In his letter although that Is doubted.
Uso tho term "gontlomon,'' apply it
properly and drop the other III sounding
r.mne Meadville Tribune. The same
will apply as forcibly to the use of the
word "thanks." If you are too busy or
too lazy to say "thank you," hotter nol
uso the word at all.
LaRt evening's sunset was ne of the
most beautiful ever witnessed In this city
and In spite of the heavy rain storm
which prevailed about that time was wit
nessed and nd mi rod by hundreds of cit

brightly illuminated by the rays of the
sun nnd variegated hues of kaleidosoplc
brilliancy nsslted in making a picture
novor to be lorgotien by those who saw
it. So bright-huod wore its colorings
that a telephone mossago was received
from Tionostn asking if a conflagration
was in progress hore. -Titusville IIeral1,

vast flame of fire above the horizon.
"Well, my son," said the Editor of
the Danville JSreczc to his son, who
wanted n wheel, "you'll lind one in the
front end of that wheelbarrow, and there
is a big pile of coal ashes back of the
house that will have to be moved. The
handle bars are of white ash and are ad-
ustablo, so can get any style of hump on
that suits your fancy. It is regulated
largely by tho load you put on. Theblg-
gor tho load the more you have to hump
yoursolf. Bo careful and don't mar the
enamel on tho ft nme, and keep the ball
boniings well oiled so they won't cut in
to the cones. Tho tire Is absolutely
puncturoless, so you won't have to take
a pump and repair kit with you. By the
time you have removed that pilo of ashes
I think you will have mnde a century
run also the perspiration. You'd bettor
como in to dinner now."
Tho past wot spoil and we're not
sure that its past yet- 1ms created havoc
with the harvesting of hay, wheat and
rye throughout tho western portion of
this State, and extending into a consider
able portion of our neighboring Stntos of
Now York and Ohio. In this soction
many acres of grain and grass have been
practically ruined, tho former "growing"
in tho shock and tho latter rotting in the
swath." Coming at a time when the
prospects of an Immense crop of both
hay and grain were never more promis
ingin fact, assured ha made discour
aging work for the farmors, who were
caught by tho dampness. Corn, which
has beon somewhat backward, has, how
ever, caught up wonderfully, and can
scarcely be said to be much more than
a week behind schedule time at this soa
son, and with a continuation of warm
weather will yield an average crop yet.
A few days ngo G. W. Robinson, on
behalf of Stow Post, wrote Congressman
Arnold In relation to secpring irom the
Federal Government a couple ol con
demned cannon to bo placed in the Court
f louse square. Ho received an answer
last Friday with information that he (Mr.
Arnold) had called at the War Depart
ment aud succeeded in getting two 30
pour.d Parrot guns, weighing 4,200
pounds each, the conditions being that
the freight be paid from New York.
Steps will be immediately taken to have
thoso guns shipped and placed in posi
tion where they will bo suitable compan
ion pioces to tho soldiers' monument
which sooner or later will adorn the
grounds at the court house. Congress
man Arnold deserves the thanks of the
"old boys" for the promptness with
which ho looked after their request, as
these "pioces" are being rapidly tuxen
up from all sections of the country and
aro getting quite scarce and hard to se

An Interesting1 Event.
In the Palo (Mich.) rpst of the 23d
Inst., we find the following account of an
interesting reunion which took place in
that city. The Percival family is well
remembered in this section, where they
resided way back in the sixties, and there
are still a good many of their old friends
hereabouts who always read with plea
sure any event of this kind :
"On Saturday, July 17, 1897, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Percival, of
this villiage, was held another of the
Porclval family reunions which have
been regular events in the social life of
our town for a number of years past.
Under tho home roof with the parents,
both of whom have passed tho four-score
year mark, were gathered their fivo living
sons James C, of Stanton, Mich.; Fred.
C, of Parkersburg, W. Va.j George A.,
of this place j Edward B., of Grand Vul
'ley, Pa., and William J., of Lake Odessa,
Mich. In addition to these were also
present two brothers of Mis. Percival
Rev. C. D. Brooks, of Geneva, N. Y., and
R. A. Brooks, of Olean, N. Y.; also the
wife, son, daughter, daughter-in-law and
grandson of James C. Percival, viz.:
Belle M. Percival, Charles II. Percival,
Miss Nina Percival, Mrs. Sadie Percival
aud little Benjamin II. Pereival, the only
great grandchild in this branch of the
Percival family. With theso lumily rel
atives there were also present at dinner
Rev. John Dobson, pastor of the Metho
dist church, and Mr. and Mrs. I). A.
Swain of tliis villiage. Many exper
iences and incidents of days long pust
wero recalled by the older mombers of
tho gathering aud the five Percival bro
thers ongaged in tho pastime of their
earlier years archery, rillo and shot-gun
target shooting, etc., in which they wore
joined by a number of our local sports
men. The weather was bright and nloas-
ant and tiie day a most enjoyable one to
an who puriicipuieu in lliu festivities ol
tho occasion. In the morniuii a lumil v
group picture, in which four generations
are repiesonieu, was taken by Mr. t hai
man, a Stanton photographer, who came
iiowu ironi uiui place lor the purpose.
Those pictures, when completed and ills
tri billed among the families represented,
will serve as reminders of the very hap
py reunion day. The readers of the
J'u.it will join with us in the wish that all
who participated in the pleasure of this
memorable event- may no spared to en)oy
many more similar reunions."

IS ROCKWELL'S IlEIIALF.
Argument Were Hoard by Judcre
Mnyer of Elk County.
Elk Democrat.
The nrguinont for a new trial for Fred
K. Rockwell, tho convicted murderer of
Lewis Hniues, was heard by Judge Mny
er Friday morning.
The prisoner was brought Into Court
by Deputy Sheriff MeMaekln and was
securely handcuffed before ho left the
jail. Tho bracelets were taken off, how
ever, in the corridor before hoentored the
Courtroom. Rockwell appeared to be
In excellent health and spirits, although
he looked a llttlo pale, aud his face and
hands twitched nervously as he listened
to the argument with apparently great
interest. E. J. Wimmor, his attorney,
made an excellent plea for a new trial
and urged thatjustice bo done the poor
unfortunate, who he alleged, had not
been granted his constitutional rights.
Ho said that tho admissions or confes
sions, mado by the defendant In tho coun
ty Jail at Tionosta, which were admitted
In evidence by the Court, although ob
jected to by defendant's council, were
clearly inadmissable.
Mr. Wimmer quoted many authorities
to sustain his position and said it will
probably be maintained that the admis
sion of the statement by the defendant
before the coronor, under oath, was not
prejudicial to tho defendant's case. It
was introduced and offered by the Com
monwealth forthe purposoof proving the
prisoner to be stating a falsehood, when
he said before the coroner that he did not
leave Hainos' house in company with
Louis Haines on the 21st day ol Decem
ber, 1800.
It was incompetent for the reason that
it placed the defendant on the stand, not
for the purpose of contradicting his own
testimony nor that of the defendant's
witnesses, but for the purpose of show
ing that although defendant's testimony
admitted that the defendant had accom
panied the deceased away from his house
on the morning of Decern bor.21st, yet the
denial embraced in the statement of the
prisonor before the coroner of his having
so accompanied the said decedent, would
further convince the jury of the defen
dant's guilt.
When tho Commonwealth, through its
officers, tho coroner and the district at
torney, illegally acting with the coroner's
jury, outside the limits of their jurisdic
tion, tho county of Elk, in Forest county,
caused Fred K. Rockwell, .the defendant,
thou auccused of the crime of murdor, to
be dragged from his cell before such il
legal body, directed him to be sworn, nor
cautioned, nor warned him, that he need
not testify unless he were willing to do
so, obliged him to stand up and submit
to the oath aud submit to the probing ex
amination of the district attorney, who
should know better, it held over him,
then presumed wholly Innocent, the
sword of Damocles. It is not the law of
tho land that truth should be tnus ex
traded or guilty convicted.
"Tho true intent ol the constitutional
guarantee," said Mr.Wimmer'which we
invoke, is that an accused in a criminal
trial should not only have the right to
closo his mouth, but he could fold his
arms and refuse to be a witness against
himself In any sense, or to any extent,
by furnishing or giving evidence against
himself, whether by testimony under
oath or animation, or confessions, or ad
missions, without either, or by proofs of
a physical nature."
No consent of the prisonor in the ex
tromity of bis need ought to bind him.
At tho conclusion of his argument,
which occupied about fifty minutes, Fred
II. Ely roso to reply, and he too plead for
justice und nothing but justice. He
quoted eminent authorities to sustain his
position and intimated that if Mr. Wim
mor had examined tho laws of Pennsyl
vania as closely as he solicited J.udge
Mayer to do ho would not have made the
urgument that ho did.
He said that the only question was
whether the evidence taken at the ooro-
ner's inquest was admissible and strong
ly contended that it was. He said that
Rockwell was not the only person sus
pected of the murder and if he had cau
tioned him about giving evidence be
would have had to caution every other
witness examined.
Mr. Ely expressed his surprise that the
learuod council for the defoufte argued for
a new trial on different reasons than he
had filod, and thought that his now rea
sons wore as worthless as the old ones.
Ho only talked about twenty minutes,
and at the conclusion Judge Meyer asked
both ho and Mr. Wimmer for the papers
in the case but did not intimate when he
would give a decision. Rockwell was
taken back to jail and the Judge called
the next case.
The Popular Douglas Mine.
There is no shoe mado for men's wear
that has attained a greater popularity
than the celebrated vV. 1.. Douglas sliou.
The fact that they combine style and
quality at a low price has given .them
universal indorsement. The manufac
ture of these shoes has made it possible
for a man in the most ordinary circum
stances to keep himself provided with
footwear of as good style us the market
ull'ords the extremely low price at which
they are sold placing them within the
reach of all. The only cheap quality in
them however is the price ; in all other
respects they grade as high as any shoe in
the market. Their lasting qual'fies have
been fully tested aud found to be un
equalled. They are not only of good
style when new, but retain their shape
and excellent appearance until complete
ly worn out a very rare quality in even
the highest priced shoes. They are sold
in Tionesta liy L. J. Hopkins, who has
just received a new invoice ol the various
styles.

Always entails an immonse loss to every progressive clothing house. No up-to-date
merchant will carry a stock of clothiiiK from one season to another. His capita! .
must be turned, and to keop the wheels moving it must be sell, soli, all the time, iu
season and out.
Our stock of clothiuK is a little larger thau It should Lo at this time. Price cutting
is the only sure means we know of to reduce it. VVe thus make what we really be
lievo to be the blgost genuine reductions ou legitimate clothing ever offered iu the
