would mould bullets.

An old soldier at Hustontown
writes "The down-pour of rain
on Sunday did not prevent Rev.
Benson from coming to the U. B.
church to deliver an appropriate
sermon to a few old Veterans in
honor of departed soldiers who
gave the best part of their lives
to the defense of their country
and their flag. The sermon also
contained some good advice to
the living."
Mr. A. W. Deshong, of Ando-

it warm for somebody, if things
work out as he expects.
Some miscreant broke i n to
Isaiah Sipes' cellar one night last
week and helped himself to a lot
of nice -canned sausage and can
ned spare-ribs that Mrs. Sipes
was saving as a surprise to the
harvest hand3. Isaiah doesn't
think much of that kind of a job,
and he has provided himself with
a double-barreled shotgun and a
basketful of shells, and the fellow
who goes fooling around there
after night had better look a
leetle oud."
We have heard from many lit
tle bird colonies in town and out
of town. Several citizens of Mc
Connellsburg put up many wren,
boxes this spring, and all but one
of these snug little homes are
rented." Wren boxes differ
from other bird boxes in that the
entrance is but three quarters of
an inch in diameter, and for this
reason, English sparrows and
other -bird enemies cannot
enter. The wrens are paying
rent by giving daily matinees to
the delight of their human
friends.
For the first time in many
years, H. E. Miller, of Burnt
Cabins, paid a visit to McCon
nellsburg. Mr. Miller occupies
his time by contracting to get out
logs during winter time, and
making road3 in the summer
time. He is foreman of section
No. 193, under State road work
in Dublin township. He said
that all work was stopped by the
State on May 25th. Much of the
work in that township consists of
surfacing roads with a fine qual
ity of very hard, black slate
found in that section.
Miss Cartes K. Swartz, of
Washington, D. C, Field Secre
tary of the Woman's Home Mis
sionary Society of the Methodist
Episcopal church lectured in the
local M. E. church Saturday eve
ning and Sunday evening. Miss
Swartz is a lady of more than or
dinary intellectual ability. Only
they who heard the lectures know
how much those persons missed
who did not hear them. When a
speaker of that kind comes into
our town, arrangements, should
be made that every one should
have an opportunity to be present.
Memorial Day Services.
. A veteran remarked in our
hearing last Saturday, that it in
variably rains on Decoration Day
not always hard, but some rain.
Since May 30lh fell on Sunday
this year, the Decoration services
were held here and at Union
Cemetery on Saturday, and hard
rain during the forenoon made it
impossible for as many to attend
as has been customary on former
occasions. At about two o'clock
in the afternoon, nine veterans
marched silently to their eeats in
the Auditorium. For some rea
son, our Band was not present,
and the music of the day consist
ed of singing by a choir of eight
teen school girls, who opened the
services by a song. Rev. A. S.
Luring followed by prayer. Oth
er songs by the choir followed.
Kittie Harris recited Lincoln's
Gettysburg Address.
Hon. John P. Sipes made the
address of the day. In well cho
sen phrases he outlined the caus
es of the wars in which this na
tion ha3 taken part. Mr. Sipes
kept close to the American senti
ment of peace; but he also voiced
another American sentiment
when he said that there are times
and occasions when war is neces
sary. He prophesied that if an
other occasion for war should be
come unavoidable during the pres
ent European crisis, fully 5,000,
000 American citizens would rise
as one man and ofTer their service
to preserve the integrity of the
Uuited States.
If people did not turn out to
fill the audience chamber, they
sent flowers, and at the close of
the exercises the great bank of
blooms that was displayed on the
rostrum was taken up by young
people who followed the old sol
diers to the cemeteries in town
and every soldier's grave had a
tribute of respect paid it in the
form of a wreath or large bunch
of choice blossoms.
At Union Cemetery, rain in the
forenoon prevented the carrying
out of a program. Hon. D. H.
Patterson offered prayer and Flo
rence Bain recited "The Flag of
'G4." All soldier graves were
then decorated, sufficient flowers
having been sent for this pur
pose, v 1
Five Minutes for Memories.
In parts of the State, and in
some other states, it has been
customary for the people to spend
five minutes at noon on Memorial
Day, by standing perfectly still,
with uncovered heads, while bells
are tolled in honor of deceased
soldiers. The five minutes were
observed in McConnellsburg by
the vigorous ringing of several
church bells. We are of the opin
ion that a mistake was made
when the bells were rung in that
manner. The slow, solemn strik
ing of the bell at regular inter
vals, would have been in accord
with the idea of tolling a bell in
honor of the dead.
Railroad News.
Between thirty and forty men
are at work cutting brush and
clearing the right-of-way. Five
carloads of machinery for grad
ing have been shipped, we are
told, and two cars have arrived
and been unloaded at Fort Lou
don. The other three cars will
no doubt, have arrived by the
time this reaches our readers.
A very small portion of the right-of-way
on this side of the moun
tain remains to be secured; but
this may all be cleared up in a
few days.

Cove Cattle Improving.
Last week we reported that an
unknown disease had appeared
among cattle in woods pasture in
Ayr township, and that several
had died. Last evening, we call
ed up several otf these farmers
on the phone and they reported
that William Cutchall had lost
two more; but all others includ
ing the sick ones in Mr. Cut
chall's herd wore getting well,
or have entirely recovered. Mr.
Cutchall lost the last two after
having removed thorn from the
Cove pasture to his home west of
Scrub Ridge. A few days ago,
D F. Trout of Tod township no
ticed that two of his cattle were
sick and showing symptoms sim
ilar to those down the Cove; but
they are recovering nicely.
The theory has been pretty
well established that the cattle
suffered from tannic poison due
to having eaten too freely of oak
leaves and twigs. Tannic acid is
obtained from the juices of oaks,
willows, and other trees, and it is
a severe astringent; the congest
ed condition of the entrails of the
animal opened indicated the pres
ence of something like that.

Scalp Bounty Thieves Sentenced.
Thirteen Pelf-confessed bounty
swindlers of Wiicox, Elk County,
arrested several weeks ago, were
sentenced May 28th by Judge H.
A. Hall. Eleven men received
sentences of from one to two
years in the Western Penitenti
ary. ThomasJ Nichol3 and Ed
ward Lehman received suspend
ed sentences of two years on ac
count of their age.
Most of the men have wives
and children, but Judge Hall de
clared that their crime was a
serious'one, taking false oaths and
defrauding several counties of
public funds. It developed that
a justice of the peace of Elk
County, who is said to have been
the leader of the gang which de
frauded many counties in this
section of the State in the last
four years, has disappeared.
