In Toby Twp., Clarion, last Wednesday,
a son of a Mr. Wilman who has been work
ing ou an oil well near Petrolia, was killed
by the falling in of a coal mine. Among
the neighbors who gathered at the mine
were Mr. and Mrs. Stitt, and Mrs. Stitt
went to the home of the deceased to break
the news to them. Then she disappeared
and a search in the dark revealed her body
lying on the roadside, she having died
suddenly while on her way home.
The Sandy Lake Saving's Bank has
resumed business.
Grove City College is to have a Military
Department, with a U. S. Army officer at
its head.
Robbers entered »he house of a blind
widow named Xorton residing near East

A Kittanning man went into a marble
shop the other day and ordered his own
tombstone.
A new coal works will be started near
Butler Junction this spring.
it Williamsport a lot of young hood
lums have been getting into trouble for
malicious mischief. It is said that the
causes which lead to the arrest of the boys
were the outgrowth of the "loafing shanty,"
a place where young boys are in the habit
of meeting for the purpose of playing cards,
reading obscene books, learning to smoke
cigarettes and forming other bad habits
which naturally follow in such cases.
Up in ifuncy a justice of the peace was
fined SSO for taking illegal fees, and the
verdict has caused consternation among
justices and aldermen who have been in
the habit of fixing their own fees without
any regard to law.
The school teachers of Lawrence county
favor the plan of furnishing text books at

A group of six Siamese children are ex

The court of ludiana county came to a
very sudden end on Tuesday afternoon of
last week. The borough of West Indiana
had brought suit against certain dealers in
phosphate for nuisance, alleging that the
odors were obnoxious to citizens. W. D.
Anthony, one of the defendants, let slip,
while testifying that he had a day or two
before called one of the jurors in the case
to assist him in making some important
measurements bearing on the suit. His
suprise on learning that he had offended,
in fact annulled the court, was refreshing
to see. The jury wheel being exhausted,
court had to adjourn for the term, leaving
a big document of unfinished business.
There seems to be no end of troable for

ers gave bail in SI,OOO to appear at court.
In Pittsburg, Monday,a woman wound a
clothes-line around her drunken husband,
and then drove him to the police station,
with a shovel.
Employees of the P. & W. Railroad shops
in Pittsburg, to the number of 200 quit
work last Monday.
In Scranton recently Judge Connolly
made a decision that will assuredly meet
with a great deal of favor all over the
State. Two Hungarians applied for natur
alization papers, and in the course of their
examination it was discoveryd that they
could not speak English and they couldjnot
understand English when spoken to tbem.
The court was quick to notice this fact, and
it called a halt on the proceedings. A little
investigation satisfied Judge Connolly that
the men were not fit to become citizens of
the United States, and he peremptorily
refused to naturalize them. At the same
time he took occasion to remark that men
who had so little interest in a country that
they did not learn its language were not
qualified to become citizens of that coun
try. The court was right. Tho man who
comas to this country with his foreign
jargon and refuses to make oven an endeav
or to learn our language has no interest in
common with us and he should not be ad
mitted to citizenship. Too often these
men seek citizenship not for the honor it
bears, but with an idea that it will bring
tbem some advantage in a financial way.
They are not patriotic—they are mercenary.
The people of the State will regard Judge
Connolly's action with a great deal of satis
faction, and hope it will be emulated by
other courts.
Tho big macaroni factory at 1248 Penn
ave, Pittsburg was burned last Friday

The story of a strange affliction comes
from Rice's Landing, Washington county.
Less than a year ago the little son of John
Rock fell, and soon after that a hard, cal
loused lump appeared on his side. Xo at
tention was paid to it and it grew rapidly,
until to-day it is really as large as the lw>y
himself. The best of medical experts have
been called, but they »ay that they have
met with nothing like it in all their books
or praotice. They say the growth does not
resemble a tumor, and are at a loss to di
agnose the remarkable case. Meanwhile
the growth is becoming too strong for the
boy and he is likely to die at any time.
There is a curious stite of affairs in the
Presbyterian Church at Xew Bedford, in
this State, and all because the book of reg
ulations governing this congregation con
tains a law that a man elected must be the
husband of a wife and having his children
in subjection. At the annual meeting of the
Xew Bedford congregation, which took
place recently, William Wright was elect
ed a deacon. After the installation of the
deacons took place it was discovered that,
according to this rule, he was not eligible
to election, he having neither wife nor
children. Wright, who is a fine old gent
leman, is greatly vexed over the situation,
and will likely resign.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
Tours to the Sunny South.
There was a time, not many years ago,
when the first cold snap drove the seeker
after more genial climat* to Florida, and
this meant several days »f tedious journey
ing; but to-day nothing is thought of it
whatever, for, through the medium of the
series of winter tours,under the personally
conducted system of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, Jacksonville and points
even more southern are reached in com
paratively few hours, while en route the
traveler is enjoying the comforts and
delights of a home. Already one of the
tours has gone, and four remain to be run
from Sew York to Jackionville, as follows:
Fel ruary 3d and 17th, March 3d and 17.
Tourists will travel in Pnllman Palace Cars
in charge of a Tourist Afent and Chaperon.
A limit.as in the first to«r,must necessarily
be made in order to allow each passenger
a double berth, and this limit has been
made one hundred and ifty.
The round-trip rate, including Pullman
accommodations and meals eit route in
dining car attached to the train, is $50.00
from Xew York, $48.00 from Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Washington. Tickets will
be sold from all principal stations on the
Pennsylvania Railroad lyttem to a con
necting point with the special at pro
portionately low rates. For detailed in
formation and descriptive itinerary ap
plication should be made to ticket offices.

A New Roller Mill in Butler.
I wish to inform my friends and
patrons in Butler county that 1 now
have my new wheat-flour mill in full
operation. It has just been completed
by the Edward P. Allis Co., of Mil
waukee, Wie.,and the work was done
under the supervision of Mr. S. J.
Bollinger, one of their most able fore
men.
The machinery was all shipped
from Milwaukee, and the old
machinery of the mill was entirely
taken out and the new substituted,
I now have a complete mill, and I
can give the people of Butler and
vicinity a brand of flour, manufac
tured at home and of Butler county
wheat, that will stand any test, and
compare with any that is shipped to
our town.
I am able to do what I say and all
I ask of you is to give my flour a fair
trial.
I also manufacture the best of
corn-meal, rye-flour and buckwheat
flour, and hoping to receive a share of
your trade, I am, Most Respectfully,
