'The purpose of store advertising is
not merely to sell goods, but to sell more
goods to make friends, build up a pat-
rouage that will not only stick, but grow.
Newspapers reach the greatest number of
people in the immediate vloinity in the
most natural way, at the least expense,
and they are therefore the best of all me
diums for stores. In a newspaper vou
follow the lines of least resistance you
follow with the stream, you talk to an au

who want to read their mental costume
Is right they are on your wire, and tbey

The Monument at Kennerdell.
Johu L. Hunter writes for the Venan
go Spectator tbe following interesting
story couneoted with the history of the
tall white monument near Kennerdell
station, which is a familiar sight to many
of our readers, and has somewhat of local
Interest for this section. A
"A few rods above tbe Pennsylvania!
railroad station at Kennerdell and near
tbe edge of the Allegheny river, there la
a tall marble elab, erected by the friends
of R. A. Wright and H. J. Wolfe, who
lost their lives in an explosion of nitro
glycerine on the 23d of November, 1872.
On one side of the monument can be dis
tinguished the following:
Erected by the friends of
R. A. Wright
and
H. J. Wolfe
' to their memory and to
mark tbe spot of the
nltro-glycerlne explosion
Nov. 23, 1872.
On tbe opposite side this tender verse
can be read:
"All shall come to feel the toticlf
na filou ounce of arraves and there
fore it was well for us to clothe the
place with beauty."
There are still a number living In the
vicinity who, while memory holds sway,
will not forget tbe horror of tbat early
winter morning, when the hundreds of
quarts of the deadly explosive bt go and
two beings in tbe pride of earlyianbood
were ushered into eternity without a mo
ment's warning. Mr. Wright was a well
known oil well shooter, with headquar
ters at Scrubgrass, where he kept a large
quantity of glycerine stored in a dugout
a few hundred yards from the villiage.
Ou the morning of tbe awful catastrophe
be bade his wife good-bye, informing ber
that be was going to shoot a well at Mt.
Hope. On tbe way to the magazine be
stopped at the railroad station and re'
quested Mr. Wolfe, who was the operator
a young man of 19 years of age, to accom
pany him as far as tbe magazine for a
ride. The operator accepted tbe invita
tion and tbe two men drove up the river,
with nothing to warn them of the awful
fate In store.
The sun never looked down upon a
more peaceful scene than the snow-mantled
village of Scrubgrass on ,tbst event
ful morning. The inhabitants were go
ing about their usual morning vocation,
wben there came, like the simultaneous
discharge of a thousand cannons, a deaf
ening roar. Houses were sbakon to their
foundations, pale-faced mothers aud
screaming children rushed from their
homes, and strong men, dazed aud be
wildered, staggered along the street. And
now up the river a borse comes galloping
down to tbe village, one eye blown out
and bleeding from a hundred wounds,
trailing a few strips of harness.
At Bight of the madly frightened borse
tbe truth dawned upon the people and
the cry of "the magazine bas blown up!"
passed from mouth to mouth.
Scores hastened to the place of the ex
plosion, fearing the worst. What a scene
to gaze upon! A great, gaping hole in
tbe earth marked tbe spot where but an
hour before bad Btood the magrzine. So
powerful was the force that trees were
torn from the earth aud hurlei far out
into tbe river. Bits of olothlug and
small pieces of flesh were all tbat could
be found of tbe two men, and no one
ever knew the true cause of the terrible
accident.
For months after the blowing up of the
magazine tbe spot was visited by cuiio
seekers and there was scarcely a home In
the vicinity but had its memento of the
aocideut. Tbe small boys discovered,
under A pile of debris, a small canister
filled with glycerine, which they placed
on tbe railroad belbroV an approaching
freight train aud secrettid themselves be
hind a pile of cord wood nearby to await
results. Tbe engine and several cars had
passed safely over the bloom, wben
there came a thundering report and two
loaded cars near the centre of the train
leaped Into the air, causing a bad wreck.
The boys were arrested, tried and sent to
the reform school.
Three years later two young men from
up the Allegheny, on their way down the
river in a boat stopped at the scene of the
explosion and discovered near the wat
er's edge a cartridge-shaped metallic
boom a foot in length, tilled with the ex
plosive. One of the men seated himself
ou tbo river bank and placed the cart
ridge between bis knees, and undertook
to loosen the cap with his pou knifn, re
gardless of tbe w arning of bis companion
of the danger be Incurred. A moment
later there came a doafoning report aud
bo was blown to atoms. Truly, it bus
been a fatal spot."
The unfortunate young man relerred
to in this last paragraph was Jonathan
Allison, a son of Dr. F. T. Allison, then
residing at East Hickory, who in com
pany with two others was running a
small raft to tbo lower market, aud had
stopped at this point a few hours.
