VOLUME 5. , McCONNl-LLSlJURG, PA., SEPTEMBER, 7 1904. XUMHER S BROKE THEIR AUTO. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Frohneiser of Johns town, had to Use Horsepower. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Frohneiser of Johnstown, left Bedford last Sunday morning, over the Cham bersburg and Bedford turnpike to contiaue their trip from home to Philadelphia in thejr autotno bi! The machine behaved itself tine, untiLtb,;- began the ascent of Scrub Ridge mountain, when some of the propelling gear broke, and then there was trou ble. They turned the machine around in the pike and the force of gravitation gave them the need ed power to run back to the home of H. S. Daniels, Esq., at Patter sons Run. Here they made au arrange ment, with the Squire to hitch two torses to the balky machine and pull it up the hills; and also procured from Mr. Daniels a horse and nuggy to convey Mrs. Frohneiser. In this way they reached Mer-r-ersburg about 7 o'clock Sunday evening; and on Monday morning when the automobile was loaded on a freight car, and Mr. and Mrs. Frohneiser each had a first class railroad ticket for Philadel phia, they were not likely to have much further trouble in reach ing the point of their destination. When they would reach tho top of a mountain, they would release the horses and coast down, Just after getting well started down the east sideVf Cove mountain, they met Mr. and Mrs. George Snider. The machine which was running at a pretty good clip frightened Mr. Snider's horse, causing it to turn short around in the road, but Mr. Snider man aged to keep the animal under control and no harm resulted. Mr. Frohneiser not being able to control the crippled machine was obliged to run it into the bank. On examination he found he had been using the high gear clutch. He- afterward used the low gear and got down the moun tain without any further mishap. HUSTONTOWN.

Another Chapter on the History ol This Country by Rev Wolfe. After the death of William III. 1702, and during the minority of William IV. the Republican party came into power again, and for a number of years there was no active stadtholder. But as Eng land exercised great influence over the affairs of the Nether lands, and William IV. also a Prince ol the house of Nassau Orange, moreover, a son-in-law of George II. it was brought about, that William IV. was pro claimed stadtholder, and the of fice was made hereditary in the Nassau Orange family to males or females forever, 1747. But his reign lasted only until 1751. Wil- iamvV. was the next stadtholder. His reign was not a happy one, nothing seemed to prosper with him, and he was so ill-favored with his countrymen, that after several outbreaks of insurrection, he deliberately resigned the of fice, and left his native country. The an ti orange party went so far now, as to change the exist ing constituting, and actually as saulted members of the Orange family. The residence of the ex ecutive at this time, was at Gel dern, and as the Stadtholders at tempted to journey to the Haag, she was interrupted, and not al lowed to proceed on her journey, but forced to turn back. Now, she was a Prussian Princess, sis ter to Frederick William, king of Prussia, who felt this insult to his sister so keenly, that he sent the Duke of Brunswick with an army into Holland anu had the prince reinstated into, his office, to the great disgust of the Dutch Republicans. The Prussian king also had the old constitution re stored, and order brought in all government affairs; he did not even insist on any indemnity for his trouble and expense of the lit tle campaign, but was content with the satisfaction and honor it brought him, 1787. In January 1795, the French General Pickegru, with an army commanded by Moreau, Sanham, McDonald, Vandamme, and oth ers, lorced their way over frozen waters into the Netherlands, and without much resistance made themselves masters of the whole country. William V. sought ref uge in England, and the victori ous French, with the aid of the Dutch Republicians, who were greatly opposed 'to the house of Orange, established the Batavian Republic. On the 16th day of May, 1 795, thd new republic agreed to let France use all its seaports, and pay a war indemnity of 100 mil lions. Great as this blow was upon the republic, other calami ties came upon it from another source, while its lot was cast with the French. Between the year 1795 and 1797, England took from them, all their possessions in Hin- dostan and on Cape of Good Hope also Malacca, Ceylon, Ambonia, Ternate and other islands, also Demerary and Essequibo; in 1799 Surinam; 1800 Curacao, and in 1801 St. Eustach with Saba. Until 1798 the republic shared all the vicissitudes of France. but after that period Napoleon made some changes in its admin istration, and in 1801 made a de cree, by which the republis had to maintain a French garrison of 18,000 men, also a native stand ing army of 16,000 men, and also fit out five war ships of first class and five frigates. Thus dictated the great Napoleon to a conquer ed nation. - Soon Napoleon seen fit to change things again, as he was fast becoming master of most of Europe. In 1806, he created kiugdom out of the Republic of Batavia, and declalred his own brother, Louis Bonaparte as king. Only a lew years passed when king Louis, disgusted with In exalted brother's high haudod policy, abdicated hU ' throne, which gave Napoleon a welcome reason u merge the kingdom with Fiance, 1810. After Napo- SHOOTIN0 ACCIDENT I Blaine Haiston Suffers Loss of Part of His Right Foot. During the session of the teach- j ers' meeting at Fort Littleton last : Saturday, the sharp report of a j gun was heard in the woods near. ! This would not likely have attract-1 ed any further attention had not; a yell and groaning followed. ! Superintendent Barton went in the direction of the noise and soon came upon the prostrate body ot Blaine Haiston, seventeen-year-old son of Mercer D. Haiston, with the front part of his right foot shot off. It seems that young Haiston had a shot gun loaded with bb shot and in "some way" the gun was discharged, the load passing down through the right foot, mak ing a round hole that one could see through. The young mau was placed m a buggy and sent to the home of his father and the wounded member was dress ed by a su .'geon; but it will be a long time before that foot will be as good as it was before the ac cident.

Louis, passing through the cities of Columbus and Indianapolis, arriving at St. Louis at 7:20 by our home time it was 8:20 crossed the Missis lppi river, went through the tun nel, and pulled up in Union depot. From the depot I took a street car with a transfer to Bellefout aine car line and landed at my boarding place at 2504 Benton St., where I was kindly received. On my trip I saw many beauti ful farms dotted with farm hous es, most of them being but a story and a half in height. There are very few barns in the West, most of the land is nearly level and one sees miles and miles of cornfields some cut and in shock. Many fields are shocked over with wheat which looks as bright as though it had been cut but yesterday. Threshermen with the finest kind of outfits are busy threshing these crops. A windmill is seen at almost every farm house to pump water for farm purposes. Nearly all the hay is made and stacked in the fields, just where cut, in small round stacks. I have spent one day on the Fair Grounds aud am wonderful ly pleased with the great exhibits. I would say to the people of . Ful ton county: It will pay to come and see; for it cannot be describ ed the half has not been told.
