Mercer.—Two men were killed and
two slightly injured in an automobile
accident on the Franklin road, two
miles from here. The men were re-
turning to Newcastle from the Stones
boro fair and the automobile ran into
a four-foot ditch and overturned. The
dead are: Frank Byerly of Mahoning-
town, a locomotive engineer of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and Chas.
Johnson of Newcastle. The injured
are W. E. Davey of Newcastle and C
J. McWilliams of Newcastle. Byerly
and Johnson were crushed to death
under the car ‘when it overturned. It
was reported that McWilliams lost
control of the machine when the steer
ing gear became defective.
Kittanning.—Squire C. R. Huber,
who owns a farm in Cowanshannock
township, near here, recently invent
ed a device to frighten away thieves
who have been visiting his roasting:
ear patch. 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.
Connellsville—Connellsville school
teachers may entertain beaux only on
Friday nights and keep in the good
graces of the school board. The di-
rectors take the view that a teacher
cannot do justice to the pupils unless
she has had a good night's rest. A
year ago the teachers were told not
to tango because of the bad example
set for the pupils. Two years ago
President F. E. Younkin recommended
a daily bath.
Altoona.—A reservoir with a.capa:
city of 1,000,000,000 gallons, is to be
built by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
at the headwaters of Tipton run, Blair
county. The state water commission
has granted permission to make such
an improvement to the Tipton and
Blair's Gap Water Companies, which
are Pennsylvania railroad subsidiaries.
The company uses.an average of 10;
000,000 gallons of water daily in this
vicinity, and the new reservoir is
planned to tide over long dry spells.
Tipton run is one of the largest
streams in this region, and was se.
cured at the time the ‘Pennsylvania
company was taking up unclaimed wa.
ter rights, some years ago.
Shamokin.—John Morst jumped on
the rear platform of, a Reading ex-
press the other day as it left the local
station and was unable to open the
door of the vestibule car. The train
moved so fast that he was afraid to
leap to the ground. After hanging on
a while he was noticed by a signal op-
erator, who sent a dispatch to Excel
sior, the next station, two miles away.
When the train was held up there
Morst dropped senseless to the track.
He was placed in the car and revived.
Volumbia.—Lancaster’s Chamber of
Commerce has started a fall campaign
to promote public enterprises, and
among the problems the members will
consider is the question of freeing the
toll roads. They believe that these
roads are an embargo on the business
of their city and they will endeavor
to ma%e them free. The chamber will
also promote the work of improving
the Lincoln highway, the route of
which passes through Lancaster and
Columbia.
Columbia.—Elizabeth, the 3-year-old
daughter of Henry Harry of Mount-

EN,
REPUBLICANS SAY
PENROSE IS MENACE
T0 THER PARTY
Public Ledger of Philadelphia,
G. 0. 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.

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.

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.

simply ask for a kidney remedy—get

Must Display Licenses.
Pennsylvania hunters must display
the white hunters’ license tags if they
do not want to be arrested for viola-
tin of the Hunters’ License act, ac-
cording to the officials of the State
Game Commission. The buff colored
tags issued last year are no longer
vilid and new licenses must be shown.
Under the act, farmers, their tenants
and their families may hunt on their
properties without taking out licenses.
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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
