--A meeting of the Ladies Assisting
Committee of the Y. M. C. A. will be held
in the Reiber building" on Saturday, at o

requested to be present.
—Parents, put yonr boys to work or keep
them at school —anywhere but loafing,
swearing and smoking on streets. \ou
little know when they are from under yonr
eye what excesses they are guilty of. Don't
let your boys loaf on the streets unless you
are in favor of keeping the penitentiary
full. — Ex.
—The water of this town at present
looks and tastes as though all the manure
piles north of town were draining into the
creek. Our people are pleased to learn
that there is to be no increase in rates, as
reported, and they would be delighted to
learn that some effort would be made to
filter the water.
—The moeting of the stock holders of
the Plate Glass Works, advertised for last
Thursday, was continued till Xov. 27. Ihe
purpose of the meeting was to vote for or
rgainst such an increase of the capital
stock as wonld cover the cost of tho im
provement, but as part ol the stock is not
in shape to be voted at present the meet
ing was continued.
—Almost every city paper that you
tako up nowadays contains illustrations
of natural monstrosities on exhibition at
some museum or other public place, and as
such t,hows aro disgusting and liable to
work injury, they should be prohibited.
Tho laws of some civilized nations go
further than that, and require tho at
tending physician to bring about the death
of a monstrosity at its Lirth.
—Horo is a now and novel method of
ascertaining the age of a horse: After a
horse is nine years old a wrinkle comes on
his oyolid, at the upper corner of tho lower
lid, and eve.y year thereafter he has ono
well defined wrinkle for each year of his
ago over nine. If for instance, a horso has
three wrinkles, he is twelve, if four, thir
teen. Add tho number of wrinkles to
nine and you will always got at it.
—We see it stated that the Econoinite
Society has decided to accept the Koresh
an doctrine, which is that tho time is not
distant wheu man will multiply without the
the intercourse of the sexes. Down in
Yirginia, before tho war, somo smart fol
lows started in to make nigger babies out
old rubber shoes, as an offset to the Con
necticut nutmeg factorv, but the wbolo
thing failed beeauso the hair on tho babies
beads wouldn't grow kinky.
—Relative to tho scarcity aud high
prices of hard-wood lumber tho Erie
Herald says: "Black walnut and cherry
have had their day and are nearly out of
the market. Oak lumber that a few years
ago could be bought for from $lO to $lB is
now worth from S3O to SOO, and at the
rate it is being slaughtered will soon be
hard to get at any price. Inventors will
have to bring out something to tako the
place of hard wood bofore loug.''
—A moat remarkable case in current
criminal atxal.s is that ot a Philadelphia
rascal who attempted to canape arrest by
counterfeiting death. Several tests were
applied in order to prodnco some signs of
life, but the desperate man boro tho jab
bing of pins and tho shock of cold water
without a single muscular movement.
When the full force cf an electric battery
was applied to his bared sole.' tho "dead''
man became a very vigorous and active be
ing.
•—A Pittsburg arehitect designed the
cornice of a certain building of this to<arn.
to be built of brick and hang over tho side
walk eight inches, or the full length of a
brick. The bricklayers tried to put it in on
last week, and on Friday afternoon a por
tion of it containing about 4000 brick fell
to the sidewalk. Fortunately, no person
was passing at the time, but tho incident
illustrates the necessity of the town em
ploying a building inspector to whom all
plans of brick or stone business buildings
should be submitted for approval or reject
ion.
—The early bird lias southward gone
To spend the winter term,
And gives tho early chestuut now
A chance to oatch tho worm.

1 production of that field now reaches nearly
j 70,000 bbls.
I Tho Phillips well on the Snvdor farm is
j reported dry.
I Tho Guckert <fc Steel well on the

j day, and started off at 300 a day; and the
| Golden .1 Co., on the Sheaver wa- doing
Golden «fc Co's well on the Shriver farm
near Haimony reached the pay streak last
Thursday and started off at 17 blls. an
hour.
At the Centre w. lis have been located
and are drilling all around the Gibson A
Co. well on the Logal Welsh, which is yet
doing about 00 bbls.
A. T. Black Esq. and some other gentle
men of this county are drilling a well on a
town lot, in the suburbs of McDonald.
They had their well down 1,000 feet when
the man who owns a lot nearby, but acro.-s
| the street, and lives on it, secured a pre-
Ilimiuary injunction retracing them from
completing it. The ease was argued last
week aud the Court of Washington Co.
refused to continue the injunction but
required Black A Co. to give bond iu $2500
for any damages that might accrue to the
petitioner, the bond to have local or Wash
ington Co. security. That is the custom
of the Court of that county and in puts
outsiders "in u hole."

To Visit California and Mexico via Penn
sylvania Railroad.
Xo new feature ever inaugurated by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company attracted
such universal comment aud attention as
the series of tours run early this year to
the Pacific coast, and now that another
series is announced for 1892. not only
covering the Pacific Coast but an individ
ualized tour to Mexico, the land of the
Aztec, is further illustration of the wonder
ful growth of the personally-conducted sys
tem of traveling and the progressive
move of this world-famed railroad. Each
tour will bu limited to a certain number of
passengers who will travel in the Pullman
vestibule train furnished with the luxurious
appointments of the richest home, with
ladies' maid stenographer and typewriter,
library, bath and barber, and smoking and
library rooms, and an observation car—in
truth an exact reproduction of the famous
Pennsylvania Limited. The first tour
leaves New York January 13th, and speeds
directly to the Pacific Coast via St. Lonsis,
Kansas City, Las Vegas, and Santa I'e.
The second tonr, tho Mexican, leaves Feb
ruary 10th, running direct to the City of
Mexico via Cincinuatti, Mammoth Cave,
Birmingham, Montgomery, and X«w Orle
ans. with incidental stops en route. The
third, February 24th, runs directly to Xew
Orleans via Cincinnati and Mammoth Cave,
aud thence, after the Mardi-Gras festivities,
to the Pacific Coast. The four h aud fifth
both through California tours, will leave,
March 24th and April 10th, respectively.
The inauguration of this service last
year was tho theme for universal comment,
and the warmest credentials of praise bear
testimony to the high standard and per
fection of every detail promoting the com
fort aud enjoyment of the tourists.
Such an opportunity has never been pre
sented before to the people of the Ea-t of
thoroughly seeing the vast domain of the
country they.so valiantly boast of, a« well
as such an opportunity ol visiting the in
teresting land of Aztec, replete with
ruins garlanded with mythical lore. The
rates for round trip are exceptionally
low, and mcfude not only all necessary
traveling expenses en route to the Pacific
Coast and return, b.it also side trips to the
attractive resorts in California, and several ■
carriago and stage rides of interest. This
applies as well to the Mexican tour, when ;
the objective point will bo tbe city of Mex- !
ico and side trips made from there, the j
rate including every necessary expense as |
well as hotel accommodations aud side i
trips.
Itineraries presenting the full details of
the tours are in course of preparation, and
will be issued at an early day. In the
meantime more detailed information may
be secured by addressing Geo. W. Boyd,
Asst General I'assengon Agent, Philadel
phia, Pa.

j properties abutting the alley, as follow-:
j "We find the yard of the property of O.
1 K. Waldron in S. Main St.. now occupied
by Geo. Kuuiuier full of offal and garbage,
the water closet toul and very offensive,
and seemingly not even used now by the
occupants of the building, they using the
open yard instead. We lind this place so
very offensive that we recommend that it
Le abated immediately."
• We find the yard in rear of the Schrei
ber Honse on N. Main St., so vile that
language will hardly describe it. The
water closet empties into the yard forming
a pool yards in length and width. 11 is the
unanimous opinion of your Board that thi
should not be permitted to remain in this
condition twenty-four hours, if it is pos
sible to remove or abate it.''
Tbey also fonnd overflowing closets on
the properties of Jos. Ball and Mrs. Mackey,
offensive garbage and compost heaps in a
dozen different lots: sewers emptying upon
streets and alleys in several places, ditches
clogged nn. stagnant water standing in
alleys, cnlverts used for garbage dumps
etc; are of opinion that each and ail of the
places reported are injurious to the general
health and request tho Council to take
immediate action.
OR motion all the places named in this
report aud also in the former one were de
clared to be public nuisances: the Secretary
of the Council was directed to prepare
notices to the property owners to abat.-
the same within forty eight hours; the
High Constable to servo the notices aud
make proper return of snch service to tho
Sec'y: and the Solicitor and Sec y were
dueeted to prepare informations against all
persons mentioned in tho report who do
not abate same.
The other business attended to by the
Councjl that evening was a- follows:
The East Jefferson St. Assessment
Ordinance was re-enacted. Tho total cost
ol the improvement is $14.578 85. and ii
will cost those property owners between
Main and McKean. where the street is 30
feet wide $3,15 per foot front, nd those
between McKean atul Monroe $3 03 per
foot front. The Ordinance appears in full
in another place.
The motion discontinuing the Howard
St. suit was reconsidered, and motion held
over; Reed <fc Kirkpatriek were refused
permission to place a Hayseales on W.
Clay St. for the reason that the Council
has no legal right to giant such a privi
lege; 500 feet of new tire hose were order
ed: the Burgess was requested to treat all
teamsters alike; Young. Riley and Geihle's
bill of :?IGI 16 for grading was allow
ed: the contractor for W. Jefferson >trect
promised to begin laying brick immediate
ly: the bridge fill will be finished with fur
nace slag; the Engineer was directed to
make plans for the extension of the 15-inch
sewer to the W. P. depot, and fora 12-inch
sewer from the P. <£ W. depot to Plate
Glass works: the Baldauf heirs were notifi
ed not to repair the building that stands on
Franklin St atul the solicitor was directed
to look up that matter, w'hieh is au old
one: the town and railroad company act
ing together will fix up the street around
the West Penn depot; Adam Renno was
refused permission to clean the streets and
a committee was appointed to select a
street-sweeper, and Council adjourned.

of the width of 36 feet, now therefore,

There was scarcely any necessity for showing this lady onr card.
Some shoes have no tongne, but all shoes have a story to tell w^ ether th *J
are tongueless or not. This story is of cither good, bad or indifferent. work
manship. and it isn't always told at a glance either. Sometimes bad work
manship masquerades as good, tbe difference being perceptible to only the
trained eye. Shoes differ in quality as much as they do in price, bat the
price should be regulated according to the difference in quality and not be
out of proportion with it. We do not claim to give a high grade »hoefor »
low grade price, but what we do claim is, that for no shoe which
store do we make a charge which is not fully justified by its actaft l J* I™' 1 ™'
A dollar's worth for a dollar is what we sell and that i* what yon will get
if you trv a pair of our ladies' fine Dongola kid shoes at $2 00 or a pair of
our men's fine calf sewed shoes at $2 00. Also see our immense stock of
waterproof winter shoes, which cannot be duplicated in the county at tbe
low price asked for them. Highest grade of men's and boys oalf, kip, gram
and rubber boots at rock bottom prices.
