Meadville Loses Prominent Citizen.
A phone message from Meadville Mon

Commissioner J. C. Scowden, conveyed

limits, where he bad received every com
fort thst tender hearts and willing bands
could bestow, and wbere he could enjoy
tbe compan ionsblp of bis iovlug wife still
spared to blin.
Mr. Scowden waa one of tbe loyal,
patriotic citizens of bis county during tbe
troublous daya tbat tried men's souls
before and during the civil war, and con
tributed largely of bis means and talents
lu support of the cause of the Union. He
was one of tbe immortal Lincolo's etsun
chest supporters, and had the distinction
of seeing him inaugurated tbe first Re
publican president of tbe nation. He
served bia county faithfully during three
terms as County Commissioner and wss
one of its stalwa.t supporters when
strong character, official firmness and
sterling honesty counted for much In tbe
affairs of men.
Mr. Scowden is survived by bis aged
widow, f ur sous and one daughter,
namely Edward A, Scowden of Sharon,
Pa., Fred. B., of Meadville, Joseph C, of
Tionesta, James A., and Mrs. Arthur
Van Horn of Meadville.

Another Wild Yarn, Probably a Lie. '
The chances are tbat Irvineton will
soon develop a bigger liar than the fam
ous "Corry Liar," if a check Is not put
upon tbe "special fiend" who seems to be
extra busy just now. Following is the
latest coming from there uuder date of
Kith Inst.:
"John Caraon, a well known hunter,
who Uvea In Pittsburg, bad a thrilling
battle witb a wounded wildcat wbile he
was bunting In the woods south of West
Hickory Friday. Carson bad been bunt
ing foxes and partridge bere for several
days, and wbile returning to his camp
late in the af'.ernoon saw a huge wildcat
perched in the branches of a hemlock tree.
He fired at tbe animal, which tumbled to
the ground and rushed for the bunter,
Carson fired again, but the big cat con
tinued to advance, although bleeding
from several wounds. Before Carson
could reload his gun the wounded animal
leaped upon tbe hunter, tearing his
leather bunting Jacket with its sharp
claws, Carson finally managed to get
hold of hia hunting knife, and after a des
perate struggle, which lasted several
minutes, be succeeded in plunging tbe
knife into a vital spot of tbe big cat, aud
it dropped. The cat was ss large as a
small-sized mountain lion, and the !arget
of its species seen in the forests of this
section of Pennsylvania In several years."
First thing that fellow knows be will
get some one Into a peck of trouble by
spreading baoadcast tbe story that there
is bird hunting going on months after tbe
close of the season.

Here's
If every merchant had the unbounded faith in the character of his merchandise
that we have in ours, you could trade anywhere with a feeling of perfect security.
But it is an unfortunate fact that the newspapers are crowded with advertisements
which, although they shout "dependable values" and "unparalleled merchandise,"
etc., offer you absolutely no proof of their good faith.
In these days of strenuous competition in the retail clothing business, the peo
ple want something more than mere claims of superiority. They want and are
certainly entitled to ironclad insurance against loss in case the clothes they pur
chase are in any way fuithless to the representations of the merchant who sells
them.
We offer you this protection. Our constant advertising of "your money's
worth or money back" ought to prove to any fair-minded man that we have confi
dence in the goods we offer, and back them by strongest agreement possible,
"money back."
