taming in all ninety square ft changed

Cypher wanted it—hence the price.
—An electrical storm, seen from a
safe distance, is a beautiful sight. One

seen from here, passed from the lower
clouds to those above them, making all
kinds of pretty pictures.
-The action of the County Commis
sioners of Allegheny county in adopting
widetires for all wagons that are to

effort will be made to protect the im

what is needed time alone can tell.
—"lts an ill wind that blows nobody
good." The recent hot wave vanquish
ed the epidemic; of spinal-meningitis in

years.

empty, at present, on account of tax
collections being slow, and the Council
decided to borrow $20,000.
—This is the season of danger from
lightning. The Scientific American
say 3 if you are afraid of lightning, here
is a very simple safeguard to remember.
Simply put on your gum shoes or rub
bers and then stand up so that your
clothes won't touch anything, whether
you pre indoors or out of doors, you are
perfectly safe, for rubber is a noncon
ductor, and you are perfectly insulated.
—The sun will reach its northern
limit-334 degrees—this week and this,
with the south wind that prevailed
made some very uncomfortable weath
er. We heard one man say it was
"d hot," and we wondered what he
meant —whether he thought the cooling
air currents had been dammed or jam
med at some other point on the earth's
surface, to our detriment; whether he
used the expression comparatively, re
ferring to the condition of those con
demned to eternal punishment, or
whether he meant that it was ''hot as
"—the place that the Pittsburg bill
poster pasted white paper over.

He is now in his 51st year. When he
was a boy of sixteen he walked twelve

ty, one rainy day, with satchel in hand,
and secured the position of apprentice

—Steel ties for railroads have not
proved a success in the past, but the
Bessie proposes giving a new I-beam a
test on seven miles of track to be laid
in Clay twp. this summer. The ton
nage on this road is one of the heaviest

about a billion and a qnarter pounds
passed south over the road.
—The Commissioners of Allegheny
county would like the Commissioners of
Butler county to buy this end of the

and turned into a state road, as it has
a good grade. If the counties were to
buy that road, and not keep it up or
allow it to become an ordinary country
road, property along its entire length
would depreciate in value.

The Milonovitz rnnrder case was
c>lled for trial, Friday morning, and
c iuie to an untimely «Dd unlooked for
continuance. Paul Milonovitz. the
prisoner, was brought into Court but
was not arraigned. After a jury had
been selected and Judge Galbreath or
dered the attorneys to proceed with the
case, the started trouble by of
fering a challenge as follows:
"The defendant challenges the array
of jurors because the jury wheel was
not kept in the custody of the jury com
missioners and secured as required by
the Act of 1534. but that the jury
wheel has been lying unsecured in the
rooms of the County Commissioners."
It was followed by a motion:
"And now, June 16, 1905, the defend
ant moves the Court to set aside the
jury for the reason that the prisoner
was not properly arraigned as required
by law and also for the further reason
that the first five jurors were called
and examined without being sworn."
The Court said any objection to the
jury and the way of drawing the jury
should have been made while that was
being done. He understood the man
ner of drawing was satisfactory to both
sides, and it was his belief that it wan
altogether legal.
It was expected by the defence that
the Court would over rule the motion
allowing them exceptions and when a
disposition was shown to entertain it
Attorney Wise offered to withdraw it,
but to this the Commonwealth object
ed, and the Court refused.
The result of the muddle was that
the 'jase goes over until September.
Between the license and murder mix
ups, things have been getting rather

The jury is said to have been practical

degree, the dispute being over the grade
of the crime. The verdict is regarded
as a decisive victory for the defense and
turned upon a question'of law, affecting
the rights of police officers to make ar

ponies, musical ponies, dancing ponies,
military ponies, and ponies which have
been taught to accomplish tricks hither
to thought impossible by animal
trainers. Every boy and girl will be
interesteg in this happy family of min
ature horse flesh, an 1 that the children
may have an opportunity to pet and
fondle the cunning creatures, imme

privilege to its juvenile patrons, and it
is no wonder that the advent of the
Washburn and D'Aluia Shows is so
eagerly awaited by thousands of the
boys and girls.
