TROLLEY TO MOUNT UNION.
Project lo Build a Line from Chambers
burg Across (he Mountains.
The Cham bersburg Repository
of Friday, Mas tho following :
There is a movement on foot
now to give to Cham bersburg an
other through trolley line that
will be a great convenience to the
citizens of this community as well
as to tho public generally.
Prom here to Mount Union,
Huutiugton county, by rail, it is
about 135 miles, Mount Union be
ing in the neighborhood of eighty
miles west of Harrisburg. From
Chambersburg to Mount Union,
by way of McConnellsburg, it is
but about forty miles, or less.
Thus, by the latter route, the
distance between Chambersburg
and Pittsburg is reduced over
ninety miles.
The project in contemplation is
to build a trolley linelrom Cham
bersburg to Mount Union via St.
Thomas, Fort Loudon, McCon
nelsurg, Burnt Cabins, etc.
The line is to be constructed for
fast tiavel and will be equipped
with lige heavy cars in order to
iiinke speed and to compete with
theura roads. Some of the lead
ing business men of the State are
back of the scheme and they are
in earnest. They will make an
effort to procure a right of way
. tin the turnpike to McConnells
burg, but should they fail in this
they will buy the land necessary
upon which to construct the road.
The matter is now getting into
good shape and an application
will bo made t the State Depart
ment at Harrisburg for a charter.
This application will iuclade
steam and electricity as a motive
power so that the road can be us
ed for freight also, in case the
legislature next year declines to
accede to the wishes of the peo
ple in giving trolley companies
tho right to carry freight.
The project has been kept
rather quiet up to the present
time but it has leaked out and we
give it as we hear it. Let the
line come. It will be a great con
venience to the publi-.- generally,
and will open up a field now with
out any railway system.

DANGER OF A CHINESE REVOLT.
Dr. Ayres Says That Students are Dissat
isfied With Government.
Dr T. W. Ayres, who has been
engaged in hospital work in North
Chii a fo- the past live yours, in
connection with the Southern
Baptist, arrived from the Orient
last Tuesday. In discussing the
situation in ChiiiR, a subject ol
which he is well informed, he
said :
"All of the trouble now brew
ing in China is di: ectly attributa
ble to a deepseated and uncon
querable antipathy toward the
government. The feeling of dis
satisfaction is spreading, and to
my mind a revolution is immi
nent. The anti-foreign feeling is
merely one of the expressions of
the movement which has for its
purpose the unseating of theMan
chu dynasty and the establish
ment of a Republican form of gov
ern tnent in its stead. The boy
cott on American goods, similar
ly, is an expression of the same
revolutionary purpose. These
thiDgs are merely the means to
an end. The student class has
become a numerous inllueutial
body. It is a matter of interest
that among something over 12,000
studeuts who returned to China
in a body from the schools they
had been attending in Tokio, bad
a great many unkind things to say
of the rulers of their own coun
try.
"These students, who are mem
bers of the better classes in China
are responsible for the growth
and propagation of the anti-foreign
sentiment and for the boy
cott. ,
"The anti foreig"! feeliug is pot
directed particularly against
American missionaries. The
doctriue that is being spread
abroad in the empire is tnat the
loroignors are there to grab, and
the Chinese can see that the mis
sionaries are not in China to make
money or grab territory."
AN ESKIMO TRIBE.
It was Isolated for Centuries Until a Few
Years Ago.
At tho north end of Hudson bay
is an island about the size of the
state of Maine, which is called
Southampton island, on which has
been discovered a lost tribe of
Eskimos which has been without
any intercourse with human be
ings for centuries, and until a few
years ago had never seen a white
man. Apparently these poople
have dwelt here since before the
time of Columbus. They are still
in the stone age, knowing no met
als. They grow no plants, and
their homes are built of the skulls
of whales. Their huts are built
by putting together the great
jaws of whales and covering them
over with skins. In the middle
of this dwelling i the familiar el
evated pi ice on which stands the
lamp. With this they cook, light
their dwelling, provide warmth,
melt suow and dry their clothes.
Tho whale is their chief means of
subsistence. They use the bones
in a variety of wayn, even making
their cups and buckets of bone,
by bending it in shape and sew
ing on the bottom.
The tribe is composed ot ubout
fifty -eight individuals, about even
ly divided between the sexes.
They speak a dialect peculiar to
themselves, q'lte unlike that
spoken by any other tribes ot Es
kimos. A fct which shows tho
perfect isolation of the communi
ty is evidenced by their ignorance
of soapstone. Among other tribes
it is the favorite material for pots
and kettles, and when they are
unable to obtain it hi their own
neighborhood they will make long
pilgrimages, lasting Boverul years
in quest of this material. But as
the people of this lost tribe are in
ignorance of such a stoue they
make their receptacles from slabs
f limestone, which they glue to
gether in rectangular shapes by
mix ng deer's biood and grease,

SAV THEM HANG.
Prof.
B. N. Palmer Saw the Hanging of
the Murderers at Ebensburg.
DeauEijitor : Iuthecolumns
of tho News, almost a year ago,
you published an account of the
doublo murder committed by
Jacob Ilauser in Johnstown, Jan
uary 4, 1900, when he with a Fil
apino bowie, killed his wife and
mother in law. Thinking that
perhaps your correspondent who
furnished the account might not
think to satisfy the curiosity
aroused in the readers as to the
result of such a horrible deed and
that a short sketch, by one who'
saw him expiate his crime on the
gallows, might be read with in
terest 1 submit the following :
The story of the crime need not
be rehearsed, as it was well told
in another issue. Hauser, after
a trial in court, was sentenced by
Judge O'Conner, September 20,
1905, to be hanged. At the same
time he sentenced Stephen Fel
lows of IJarnesboro, an English
man, wno murdered his wife and
attempted to take the life of his
son. The date of the execution
was fixiid by Gov. Pennypacker
to be February 15, 1906. The two
men were each dressed in a suit
of black clothes, the county's last
gift to them. When they step
ped from the jail the first thing
they, saw were the gruesome gal
lows, suspended from which were
two stro.ig i opes with nooses in
them, Ilauser, 29 years of age,
with dogged step mounted
the callows first and took his
place on the trap with head bow-
ed and a terrified look in his eyes
no one could tell whether ho was
afraid to speak or whether he
feared to look at the skies above
hitn either of which might leave
him. a groveling wretch vainly
pleading fo mercy. Fellows, 01
years of age, was escorted to his
place by the deputy, and half
turning around he said '! want
to shake hands with Jake," und
aain to the Deputy. "You prom
ised to let mo try the rope first.'
seemingly with no thought of his
pleadings the night before, when
at almost 12 o'clock he called up
on his maker for the first time
since ho committed the crime.
Deputy Sheriff Bearer quickly
tightened the nooses about their
necks anu adjusted the black
caps. Then he stepped back aud
signaled to Sheriff Lenharr, who
stood back a few feet of him. The
Sheriff instantly pulled the cord
that loosed the trap. All this re
quired less than a minute and the
spectators saw two bodies dang
ling in the air aud the "men were
transformed from human beings
into a part of tho great mystery
beyond." The sun was shiniug
brightly above. "How many of
those who saw justice meted out
failed to think of the sudden
change for the two murders, from
light and sunshine, to darkness,
doubt, and mystery.
As we turned from tho scene I
could not help but wonder what
failure had been in the lives of the
unfortunate men, by those who
had charge of their early train
ing. Could it be said that parent
or teacher had failed to instill in
to them a love for right, an insat
iate desire for good, an unmista
kable respect for truth? Did the
teacher fill their minds with such
gems as
Do not luok fur wrong or evil
You will tiud theiu If you do,
Ah you luettKiire to your neitflihor
lie will meuHure buck to you.
liok for vootlnoHH look for tfluduexN
You will Und it ull Uie while,
If you lirluv a hiuIIIuk vIkukc
To the ifliiHK, you will mecl u niiiIU..
Is there not a lesson in the sad
affair which wo might use to turn
tho current of some soul into the
channels of truth and right? If
therb is I willn gly submit this
ai tide trusting that It may cause
some parent or teacher to pause
and think what kind ot tlberis
being built Into the character of
children, as they enter life for all
tho years to come.

COLD MARCH.
According to the Predictions of the St.
Louis Wenlher Prophet Rev. Irl Hicks.
A lingular Storm Period is at
its center on March tho 1st, hav
itig its preliminary stages in
western parts the last two days
of February. This period is near
tho center of the Venus disturb
ance, with Moon in apogee and at
first quarter. The first three to
four days of March will bring low
barometer, h.gber temperaturp,
and wide areas of cloudiness, rain
and snow, all of which will pass
rapidly from west to east r cross
the country. Rising barometer
and cold westerly gales will bring
up tho rear of these storms, giv
ing coid, bleak weather to most
parts fr jm about tho 3rd to the
5 th.
Reactionary storms and storm
conditions will be central on the
6th, 7th andHih, almost filling the
days between the first and third
storm periods with unsettled,
threatening and stormy weather.
The combined Earth and Venus
forces are liable to cause storms
and storruiuess any time in this
part of the month.
The Regular Storm Period cov
ering the 10th to the 14th, central
on the 12th, in every probability
will prove one of the most tem
pestuous and violent storm per
iods of the month. The Moon is
full on the 10th, on the equator
on the 12th. and in pei igee on the
13th. This is also at the exact
time, annually, when the Earth
reaches a crisis in electric and
magnetic porturbalions, thecaus
us of which we will lully enter in
to in our discussions during 1906.
As arly as the 10th, tho barome
ter will fall to threateningly low
readings in western and south
ern sections, the temperalure will
rise, atmospheric conditions will
become close and humid, and
during the 11th, 12th and 13th,
violent storms of r;iiu, wind and
thunder will sweep over many
parts of the country. On the
south to eastern flanks of these
storm areas, tornadoes will be a
most natural result. Watch for
such developments wherever the
barometer is low, the tempera
ture high, with active and orai
nous storm clouds gathering. On
and touching the 12th and 13th
dangerous gales aud tidal waves
should be anticipated along the
gulf and Atlantic coasts. Earth
quake disturbances will also bo
reported from ' various parts ot
the Earth within sixty hours of
noon on the 12th. At the wind
ing up of these storms, severe
blizzards, hig'i barometer and
cold wave will rush down from
the northwest. This is one of
the dangerous periods to all in
tho open west who have exten
sive live stock interests exposed
to storm and weather. Remem
ber this !
A Reactionary Storm Period is
on the 17th, 18th and 19th. This
period is near the center of
Earth's equinox, with the Venus
period still iu active force, and
the Moon at first quarter. On
and touching the 18th and 19th,
falling barometer, rising temper
ature, cloudiness and return of
rain aud suow may be expectei.
Cold, ci isp weather for the sea
son will bo the general order
from about the 19th to the 22nd.
About the 22nd, in western parts,
a marked change to warmer will
sot in, attended by decided fall
ing of tho barometer. As these
conditions advance eastward they
will grow in area aud intensity,
cloudiness will ensue and storms
of ram, wind and thunder will
touch wide paths In their east
ward sweep. Those storms will
bo at ttieir crisis from about Sat
urday to Monday, the 24th, 25th
and 20th.
Quito cold weather for tho last
of March will be very general
from about tho 20th to the 29th,
the cold, like the storms that pro
ceded it, being progressive from
weht to east.
A Reactionary Storm Period is
Ctntrtil during tho last three days
of the month. This period will
bring a prompt returr of storm
! A Fatal Accident.
I Our Clear Ridge correspondent
I sends us the following account of
I the sad death of Harry W. Welch,
of Burnt Cabins :
"Ou Sunday morning about 8
o'clock, Harry V. Welch, f Burnt
Cabins, was fotind dead at the
bt ldge near his home. His body
was lying partly in the water.
Ilis scull was crushed. His par
ents thought, as he had not re
turned home on Saturday night,
that he had remained all night
with auother young man in town.
On Sunday morning his brother
started oui to look for him, and
found him lying besidf the bridpe
dead. Calling soma other men,
Roy McGehee, thinking he was
still alive, pulled him out of the
water. They at once telephoned
for Dr. Hill, and T. E. Fleming,
esq., J ustice of thePdace. 'Squire
Fleming summoned a jury and
held an inquest. The jury return
ed a verdict of accidental death,
caused by falling about five feet,
over the side of the bridge, and
striking his head on the sharp
rocks along tho side of tho creek.
A gash about three inches long
was cut on the right side of his
head.
The last seen of him alive was
on Saturday night about 11 o'
clock, by John North and a young
man named Bromine, who had ac
companied him to his father's
gate, and instead of 'going into
the house, he returned to town.
He had been away from home
for the past two years, working
on the Telephone lino, and had
come homo on a visit about two
weeks ago. He was a sin of Ed

conditions, which conditions al
ways begin in western sections
of our continent and move nor
mally eastward to tho Atlantic.
"Storm conditions" mean that
the temperature shall r.actto
warmer, winds shift to southerly
and easterly, the barometer fall,
with more or less increase of hu
midity and growing cloudiness.
Such conditions as these, scien
tifically considered, constitute in
rea ity a regular, "official" 6torm,
and they are accordingly charted
on the "official weather maps" as
regular storms. With this class
of official dignitan-. s deadly tor
nadoes, with no general low ba
rometer, would be no storms at
ail iu their records, while tho pas
sage of ery low barometers, with
uo clouds, wind and rain, would

tory as regular storms. Ucuce
correct forecasts of storm con
ditions are not infrequeatly con
demned as failures. Tho proba
bilities are that the storm condi

days of March will brin return
of general rains, turning to snow
along the uorth and west Bides of
storm areas. Rising barometer
and colder weather will bo advan

April. We believe that March as
a whole will be rough and stormy
above the average.
