The squire arranged a se- ries of small pieces of dynamite along the side of the field from which the thieves were accustomed to enter. He stretched a wire along the fence, while every few yards he attached a piece of sandpaper and a match in such a manner that the least pressure against the wire would ignite the small pieces of dynamite, which would explode, frightening the “daylights’” out of the thieves. After all was carefully ar ranged, Squire Huber resolved to give his system a tryout. Suddenly he stumbled and fell against the wire, almost directly over one of the pieces of dynamite. A terrific report fol lowed, and the squire alighted some distance away.

P. Organ, Calls on De- cent Republicans to Save Party by De’eating Boss Philadelphia, Sept. 15.—Decent Re- publicans in Pennsylvania are calling on their party associates to defeat Penrose in order to bring back the party to the ideals of Lincoln. They point out that with Penrose in the saddle, Pennsylvania can get nothing at Washington. They declare that any protective tariff endorsed by him will arouse country wide svspi- cion and distrust. They are backing Gifford Pinchot who stands on a strong protective platform. They declare that Penrose is respon- sible for the present Democratic tariff because he and his associates so broke faith with the people on the Payne Aldrich tariff bill that the party was repudiated. Says Penroseism Is Fatal. The Public Ledger of this city, one of the staunchest of the Republican papers, foresaw what evil effects the attempt to re elect Penrose would bring to the party in this state. In a clarion call to the Republicans of Pennsylania it declared that Pen- rose was a menace to the National Re- publicanism and if the party was to live and regain popular confidence, Penrose must be defeated. The editorial from the Public Ledg- ger is as follows: Ledger Calls Him Menace. PENROSE A MENACE TO NATIONAL REPUBLICANISM The Republican party does not begin nor does it end in Penn- sylvania. The Pennsylvania electorate in the selection of a nominee for the United States Senate is expected to have due re- gard for the exigencies of the party throughout the Union. It must begin the rehabilitation of Republicanism nationally by tan- gible evidence of complete repu- diation of those elements which have dragged the party into un- popularity and burdened it with the onus of discreditable leader- ship. Republicans in other States can- not understand the peculiarities of politics in this State. The test of the new spirit in Republican- ism will be to them s'mply whether or not Mr. Penrose is the nominee of the party. No explan- ation of the whys or wherefores of his nomination will answer Kansans who hurl at Republican candidates the charge that Pen- rose is of them and for them, that his right of leadership in the par- ty has been indorsed by his own State. There will be no argument which Republican candidates in other States can make if confront- ed with a Penrose victory in Penn- sylvania. The stain of Penrose- ism will stick to them; they will be unable to wipe it off. They will be forced to assume responsibility for a leadership which has been repudiated by thé nation. The alliances which Mr. Penrose is able to make in Pennsylvania, other Republicans cannot make in other States. A fair wind for him means a foul wind for them. The expectation of some manu- facturers that equitable tariff rates can be restored by the nom- ination and election of Senator Penrose is fatuous. There is no surer way to perpetuate the oppo- sition in power. If protection is tc have a proper hearing in the United States, it will get that hearing without Penrose, but it will not get it with him. A Re- publican majority in Congress can only be obtained if it is certain that that majority will not be dom- inated by Penrose, that Penrose will not even be there. Penrose is a hig Democratic asset in Penn- sylvania; he is Democracy’s big- gest asset everywhere else, Re- publican princ' ples and Penrose . cannot dominate the Government at onc and the same time. If Republican principles are again to determine national policies, they must have some other interpreter than Penrose. uring his tour of Somerset county, Pinchot was approached by an eld sol dier at Somerfield. “I'm a Lincoln Republican,” said the old man. “Are you for Penrose?” asked Pinchot. “No, sir; I'm for you and a protec- tive tarisf,” he answered, “I know what kind of a man Abraham Lincoln was. He was always against such fel- lows as Penrcse.” The Philadelphia Public Ledger, a Resublican paper says: “The anti- Penrose movement within the Repub- lican party is a sign of political health. For the past few years Republicanism in Pennsylvania has been suffering from a wasting disease, malignant, but not chronic, distressing but not neces- sarily fatal, serious but not incurable. It is Penroseitis.” On the occasion of Penrose’s recent visit to Allegheny and nearby coun- ties the machine managers sent out a request to the people to put Penrose’s picture in front of their places of business. Nearly every saloonkeeper Penrose placard in his windew. trerc practically the only had a They ones who obeyed the request. re —— ——T CSL ys 3 McCall Design New York, September 10. If American women are not unus- ually well turned out this year, it won’t be the fault of our clever de signers. Owing to the paucity of French models, experts here who us- ually content themselves with modi- fying foreign ideas have gone a ster farther and really originsted a num- ber of cle “er conceits, exactly adapt ed to tbe clientage on this side of the pond, It would be curious if one of the effects of this deplorable conflict, is the launching of authoritative Amer- ican fashions ‘or American women. DRESS MATERIALS. Serges are decidedly in the lead just now, especially in the Gaberdine types and satins are back with a vengeance, especially in combina- tion with the serge. Very attract- ive are those models with the nar- row petticoat, sleeves and girdle of black satin and the rest serge. Dark blue still holds the lead in this com- bination but there are lovely shades in purple, greens and browns that combine as effectively but are not so universally becoming as the blue. BUTTONF®. Buttons are of special importance and in the serge satin combinations one sees considerable use of satin covered buttons. Jets are reckoned particnlarly smart and are advancing in price, as these are largely imported so its an opportune time to seek out any nice jets one possesses to make the most of them while they lead the mode. Crystal and amber but- tons are also in demand, and the new fad for finishing narraw neckties on shirt waists with an oliye shaped but- ton is pretty and popular. Jet jew- elry in combs, barrettes, pins and chains is naturally to the fore. MILLINERY. Never wss there a more attractive showing of hats, or an easier time to secure the hat that brings out all one’s best points. Small hats lead in variety of shape but there are no end of pretty sailor models with wide spreading brims, that appeal to the girls especially in the softly draped black velvet models which set off the face and fluffy hair bewitchingly. Soft crowns are seen in many of the most exclusive places and the prices tacked on to unobtrusive little vel- vev hats with a whisp of expensiye feather trimming effectively placed, are startling to one not conyersant with the awe with which say a ‘‘Vi- rot’’ model is viewed by the fash- ionable. Fortunately for those of us whose purse strings don’t stretch immodecrataly, there are many clever copy cats who reproduce the mas- terprices at prices that we can afford to pay. The hat is the main thing, its shape and material and finish are the es- sential thing, then just a bit of gar- niture, where it will do the most to accent the style of headwear and wearer. One of the newest, prettiest black velvet hats, in the small class, re- sembles a soft crowned Derby with a cuff of velvet at one side from centre front to back, topped with a few whisps of black paradise or other light feather fancies Fannie Field. CITROLAX Users say it is the ideal, perfect lax- ative drink. M. J. Perkins, Green Bay, Wis., says ‘‘I have used pills, oils, salts ete., but all were disagree- able and unsatisfactory. In Citrolax I haye found the ideal laxative drink. For sick headache, sour] stomach, lazy live, congested bowels, Citrolax is ideal. Sold by all Dealers Everywhere.

Br eS PT, Little Girl Like'y Perishe: in Hills ~~ The fate or little Carrie Groves, who has been missing for eight days from her home near Addison, is s iil deep mystery, but there is little doub: that she is dead ard her body per- haps devoured by Logs or wild ani- mals hungry for buman fiesh. The child’s parents, who live in the monntain district four miles south ot Addison, are distracted. Both they and the neighbors have given up all hopes of finding Carrie alive. After scouring the woods for several miles around the only clue revealed was the finding of the child’s shoes and stockings beside a small revine, which indicated that she had been wading in the small stream. The water was too shallow for her to drown and perhaps in the lateness of the even- ing she wandered back into the dense undergrowth in the mountains. NOT ONLY IN MEYERS- DALE. SIMILAR CASER OCCUR DAILY IN THIS VICINITY. Not only here in Meyersdale but in our neighboring towns, the same good story is heard. An encouraging in- stance from Berlin is given here, and will be read by us with great interest. Mrs George H. Bingner, North St., Berlin, Pa., says: ‘‘I think that a strain was the cause of kidney trouble in my ease. My whole body was lame and stiff and chills and dizzy spells annoyed me. I knew that 1 must check the trouble before it got too firm a hold and deciding to give Doan’s Kidney Pills a trial, I got a supply. The first dose helped me and gradually, the symptoms of the trouble untilI was weil. I have had no reason to change my high opin- ion of Doan’s Kidney Pills since publicly recommending them some years ago. . I have taken this remedy off and on, since learning of its merit and never failed to get prompt and satisfactory relief. Others of my family have used Doan’s Kidney Pilis with good results.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they ‘cannot reach the diseased portion of the e and that is by constitutional reme- dies. Deafness is caused by an inflam- ed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re- stored to its normal condition, hear- ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Oa- tarrh, which is nothing bat an in- flamed condition of the mucous sur- faces.
