THE GUESSING MANIA.
Of all the absurd methods of raisiDg
the wind byway of running up sub
scription lists of daily papers, the
guessing one is the most absurd. It
suggests the question of what consti
tutes legitimate journalism. The old idea
of a newspaper was that of giving the
news and of discussing questions perti
nent to the times, and the success of
papers depended on the enterprise of pub
lishers in these particulars. But as time
went on, this course not proving suffici
i utly remunerative, recourse was had to
premiums. Then followed the chromo
mania, until households were fil'ed with
a whole lot of apologies for pictures, such
as soon disgusted everybody. The result
was they had to be burned up, or else
relegated to barns, stnblcs, wash houses
and ot'ier back buildings.
\Ye have now fallen upon the guessing
era. A coupon is printed in every issue
that is to be filled out and sent in. You
are to guess what the census enumerator
will make the population of a certain
town, village, city or district. And the
beauty of the thing is it differs from vot
ing, as the law allows you to cast only one
vole, but j'ou can guess as many limes as
you please, or as often as you are disposed
to buy, borrow or steal a paper. The
ofteuer you guess, the better for the pub
lisher. And to secure the prize offered
and attain to the popular posi'ion of a
shrewd gucsscr, you will feel like guessing
a great many times, hence a great many
papers will be required.
Of what particular interest it will be to
a community, or to I lie general public to
know that Jones made a better guess than
Brown, no paper has as yet felt equal to
the task of telling. Be very careful to
note thai the editor says the blank form
can only be found in this paper —the
Bladder, or Win Snapper up of Unconsidered
l'rijles, or a paper of about the same gen
eral character. Next to votiug for the
most popular teacher, the guessing
method comes in.
What the next tl ing will be, who dare
guess? Wouldn't it be a good idea to try
this on. But before substituting some
thing else, we suggest that some of our
enterprisii g city dailies should give a
chance to guess where the wheels of
Pharoah's Chariots are, or who wrote the
Junius' letters, oi who threw the Billy
Patterson brick. Do give us something
that will lead to researches.
TUB County Commissioners of Blair
county arc warned by the Altoona Tribune
against allowing the court house at Holli
daysburg to lie used for holding political
conventions, particularly Democratic con
ventions of such character as that which
assembled there recently. We do not
know whether permission was granted in
the case or n it, but in this county the
conventions are held in the
court house, nevertheless, as
was the Bepublican County Committee
meeting lust year in our county. I hey
simply walked into the arbitration room
and held their convention, although they
had never asked, much less got, a permit
to do so. Perhaps Blair county people
are not accustomed to such exhibitions of
cheek. They might learn some things by
coming to this side of the mountain.
i .
Gov. Bouts, of lowa, has appointed
Miss Helen Louise Burr, of Cedar Hapids,
a notary public. Miss Burr is a bright,
energetic youug iady about twenty-tour
pears of age. Iler father, 11. 11. Burr,
has been court reporter for seventeen
years, and for four yeais his daughter has
been his able assistant, frequently taking
her father's place in the court room. Not
long since, at a term of court held in
Cedar county, Miss Burr filled the posi
tion of reporter, and Miss Shearer that of
clerk. The Judge commended the work
of thesj young women in the highest
terms, saying that no.one had ever filled
the posision so acceptably.
THE way some of the Democratic poli
ticians of Blair county have been raising
the wind of late would make one believe
that they had been taking lessons in polit
ical methods of the Quay-Delamater
people. The trouble with the Democratic
party, so far as the bosses are concerned,
is.that the rank and file are accustomed
to having there say when primary elections
are held. Not so, however, with our
friends in the opposite party. The rank
and file among them are used to being
led, and when a county or a State is
stolen tbeyjsimply submit as'a matter of
course.
THE city election Monday at Cumber
land, Md., under the Australian system,
resulted in a Democratic victory. Mayor,
City Clerk and four out of five Council
men were elected for the first time in six
years.
THE MORMON QUESTION.
The United; States Supreme Court on
Monday decided that the Edmunds' Anti-
Mormon law is constitutional, and th e
church property of the Mormon e hurch
corporation in excess of $50,000 will
therefore be contiscated according to the
provisions of the law. The value of the
church property is fully $1,000,000, which
has been accumulated by years of labor
and saving. What is left of this plunder
after the officials get through with it will
be devoted to the establishment of a
common school fund for Utah.
That stringent and effective measures
to abolish polygamy should be taken, no
one will question, but how that is to be
done by seizing the property of the Mor
mon Church corporation is not by any
means clear. It is true that most Mormons
advocate and many practice polygamy
'onflscating their church property need
not stop the practice. And besides tliet
it is a had, if not dangerous, precedent. It
is of such doubtful constitutionality as 11
cause three of the justices to dissent from
the opinion—a thing which makes it not
only impolitic, but which will make it in
effective, the Mormon press having al
ready denounced the measure as an out,
rageou their rights. They will regard
themselves as oppressed and it will in
crease their fervor. It will drive anti
polygamous Mormons—and they form the
majority of that sect—into opposing the
measure. A law requiiing a complete
registration of the population of Utah
public marriage licenses, with an inhibi
tion on all other forms of marriage except
by the form and manner prescribed by
law, would prove more effective than a
dozen schemes of confiscation.
THE LEFT LEG.
In the Mav Nineteenth Century Mr
Walter K. Sibley most curiously treats of
" Left-leggedness."
He starts with the suggestion that, cou.
trary to the common notion, the left leg
in most people is stronger than the right.
Where the right hand is most used in
manual labor, the left leg is employed, on
the principle of equilibrium.
In walking, the left leg is more used
than the right. Skaters perforin more
figures on the left than the right foot.
Rope dancers perform their balancing
tea's mainly on the left foot. Why men
keep to the right in walking is attributed
to a like cause, and gyrate in dancing to
the right.
Troops in England, Germany, France
always start off with the left foot. In
mouuting horses or bicycles it is the left
foot which is placed in the stirrun or on
the step. In jumping most men take off
from the left foot. The chief propelling
power in swimming laces is the left leg.
Then come measurements of limbs and
feet indicating greater strength of left leg
and size of lift foot.
And the conclusion is that right-hand
edness and left-leggedne.-s are attempts of
nature to preserve a bi lateral individual.
Man beiug naturally or artificially right
handed or left footed tends unconscious
ly to bear to I lie right ; lower animals to
circle to the left.

A HI Tonic SCENE.
A Tliril iik Kepioclaction of the Attrociou*
Mountain Meadow .IIUMICI'P.
The great Forepaugh aud Wild West
combined shows, which exhibit in Johns
town, Friday May 23d, on the old show
grounds on the Point, brings the unwrit
ten history ol the far west to the door of
civilization. There is nothing more ter
rible in history than the Mountaiu Meadow
Massacre, and this is illustrated by Cupt.
A. If. Hogaidus, the world's champion
shot, and soores of scouts, co a boys and
Indians, in away that vividly pictures
the awful horrors of the scene. The
Mountain Meadow Massacre occurred
in in 1857, and the victims were
u band of emigrants on tiieir way across
the plains. They were ambushed by a
party of Indians and Mormons under the
command of John D. I.ce, chief of Brig
ham Young's infamous "Destroying An
gels," and, though they fought desperate
ly, were outnumbered, and on promise of
protection surrendered. Lee was false to
iiis promise, and the entire company, in
cluding 120 men, women and children
were massacred in cold blood. The mam
moth quarter-mile hippodrome track gives
abundant room for the reproduction of
this thrilling border drama, which is given
with all the accessories necessary to make
the performance life like and complete.
Adam Forepaugb, Jr.'s $50,000 troupe of
trained bronchos; Bloudin, the equine
acrialist; the trapeze horse, the trapeze
Eclipse, and a triple arenic exhibition, are
among the other features of this unap
proachable big dual show.
Death of Tlioman Brown.
On Tuesday afternoon the subject of
this notice died at his residence in the
Fourth ward, No. 480 Bedford street,
after a brief illness. Mr. Brown came to
Johnstown when he was quite young,
having been born in the county of Dur
ham. England in 1847. Soon after coming
here he entered the employ of the Cambria
Iron Company. Later he was foreman of
Haws' mines, aud for the past several
years he operated the Horroks coal mines
in what is now the Ninth ward. He was
for three years a Councilman in Johng
town borough and served in several minor
offices. He is survived by his wife and
two brothers, John and George, both of
whom live in this city. The funeral of
the deceased will take place to-morrow
afternoon, when Alma Lodge I. O. O. F.,
No. 523, of which he was until his death
a prominent member, will turn out to pay
their last tribute of respect to their late
brother.
BY lfll TO 143.
The McKinley Tariff Bill Panne* the House
an First Reported.
WASHINGTON, May 21.— The vote in the
House on the third reading and engross
ment of the tariff bill resulted : Yeas 161,
nays 143.
The scene in the House this morning
when the McKinley tariff bill approached
a final vote was the most exciting that
has yet taken place with the exception of
the uproar that occurred on Saturday
night between Wilson, Bynuin and Bayue.
The galleries were crowded and the House
on both sides showed that both parties
had exerted their energies to bringing out
their respective votes. As the time ap
psoached for the calling of the previous
question botli Democrats and Republicans
crowded into the pit in front of the
Speaker's chair and many turbulent
scenes were enacted. Sir. Farquhar,
of New York, on the Republican
side, astonished his party with a one
minute speech, in which he said : " I pro
test against this kind of protection that
this bill carries." Mr. Farquhar was
speaking for the bcuefit of a delegation of
Buffalo farmers, which was in the gallery,
and which has been demanding a lower
rate of duty on barley. This unexpected
drive at the bill brought half the members
of the House on their leet anu another
scene of confusion ensued. Major Biggs,
of California, the great anti-civil service
reformer, got the recognition of the
chair and standing in the pit made a
speech which was not heard owing to the
turbulence and uproar that prevailed.
Major McKinley at noon demanded
the previous question. Mr. Gros
venor left the chair, as the pre
siding officer of the committee of
the whoie, and Speaker Reed look the
gavel. He rapped the House, vigorously
to order, when Mr. Grosvenor reported
the bill to the House from the committee
of the whole with amendments. A vive
voce vote was ; then taken, the chair de
ciding in favor of the bill. Mr. Coleman,
of Louisiana, was the sole Republican
who had the couiage to face his party and
vote against the bill. Mr. Whitthorne
(Dem.) cast his first vote of the session,
he having' been sick at home. On the
vote on the previous question the result
was 101 ayes to 143 nays. There jwere a
number of Hepubliciuis who dodged the
vote. Among them were Mr...Adams, of
Illinois ; Anderson, of Kansas ; Butter
worth, of Ohio; Buchannan, of New
Jersey, aud Dehaven, of California. The
only change the House has made in the
bill was a mere tcchical one in the
schedule on type.
A Freight Wreck in Which the Engineer is
Killed.
One of the most disastrous freight
wrecks that have occurred on ihe Middle
Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad
tor a long time, happened at Elizabeth
Furnace, a few miles east of Altooua,
Tuesday night.
William Boyd, one of tiie eugiueers,
was almost instantly killed. He was 05
years old, and was oue of the most thor
ough and trustworthy in the employ of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Mr. Boyd lived at Harrisbnrg. Brakeman
Baker was injured, as was also Flagman
McCliner.
The wreck is what is known us a " side
wipe." Engine No: 882 was pulling oil
the siding and was going east with a big
load of dressed beef, and Engine No. 507
was running west with through line
freight, and a terrific collissiou followed.
Engine 882 was totally demolished, and
the sides ripped out of six freight cars,
scattering beef along the lire for a
distance of a quarter of a mile. A
great deal of the meat was crushed
beneath the wheels. Boxes and crates
of fruit and vegetables from the
smashed up cars, drawn by engine 507,
added much to the general confusion of
the mass of food. Of the latter train ten
cars were destroyed and piled up in a
nondescript mass of rubbish. The fires
wli ch ensued were put out by the train
men, and tlie body of the dead engineer
was taken from the wreck before it was
badly scorched.
The wreck paralyzed traffic until 7.20
this morning. The roads, both ways, were
so completely blocked that an engine
could not get cither way until the tracks
were par tiully cleared.
Iteut tlie Hem,ril.
The Edgar Thomson Steel Works at
Braddock have been giveu the champion
ship in the manufacture of steel rails by
tho South Chicago Works. About a year
ago Capt. W. It. Jones, late manager of
the Works at Braddock, with some of
ficials visited the Chicago works, which
was then the largest producer in rails.
During their stay a broom made of iron,
and about fifteen feet high was shown
them, which was emblematic of the fact
that Chicago had swept the world's
record. An agreement was there made
that which ever mill came out ahead was
to have the broom. During the month of
March, the Edgar Thomson eclipsed the
record, and Tuesday Mr. C. M. .Schwab,
the Superintendent, received the broom.
It will be erected in the works.

ROMANCE AND INSURANCE.
A PLOT TO SECURE SIO,OOO THAT
WAS FINALLY EXPOSED.
The Secret of Hums' Reappearance After
He Had Been Mourned For by His Best
C.trl—The Doctor and Matilda Overshoot
the Mark.
About eight years ago a man living in
Pecatoniea, Ills., who may be called
BuriA for short, insured his life in the
Provident Savings Life Assurance com
pany of New York for $6,000. He made
the policy payable to a young lady for
whom lie had developed a singular de
gree of fondness, but had never married.
Shortly afterward he took out an addi
tional $4,000 policy in another company,
and proceeded thereafter about tiis regu
lar business. He was in good health, and
one day in December he went to the river
for a season of skating, declining any
company. He went skimming over the
smooth surface of the river till lie reached
a point three miles from town, where he
passed a group of men loading wood,
shouted a greeting to them, and passed
out of sight. They recognized him, and
remarked on bis grace as a skater, but
they never saw him again.
A CLEAR CASE.
Burns never came back to town. His
Pecatoniea friends never saw him again
aud his loss was mourned bitterly. In a
day or two a groupof boys came up from
the country along the river, four miles
from town, and said they saw a man
whose description answered that of Burns
come skating toward them the morning
of his disappearance while they were at
tending to some muskrat traps; that lie
was performing some marvelous gyra
tions and that he suddenly disappeared
in an opening in the ice. Burns' friends
found the marks of his skates from the
very point where he had put tiiem on
down to within 200 yards of where the
youthful trappers had treed a muskrat.
Here they found a hole about ten feet
across, formed bv a spring, which pre
vented the water from freezing. The
skate marks led to the very edge of the
hole, and there were lost.
It looked like accidental death,'and
Miss Matilda, the charming beneficiary
under the policies of life insurance, asked
that the money be paid her. But until
the body was produced and identification
fixed beyond a doubt the soulless corpor
ation decliued to contribute. Along in
April the ice was well out of the river,
and the bed was dragged for the body of
Burns. The body of a man was found
some distance down the river. He had
on Burns' clothes. Bums' skates were
on his feet, and in one of the pockets was
found Burns' open faced watch. The
identification seemed complete.
But chief among those who examined
and identified the body was Dr. Pills,
who had passed upon Burns' application
for insurance. He seemed exceedingly
interested in the case, making many
trips to Pecatoniea and comforting Ma
tilda by almost daily visits. He cheered
her so effectually that on the Fourth of
July they were married, aud the girl laid
aside her weeds the day she was wed.
For some reason the company still ob
jected to paying the insurance money,
and suit was brought to compel them.
They found Burns had made a will by
which the doctor inherited all liis little
worldly wealth, and this, with some
other facts, still induced tiiem to ques
tion the validity of the claim. The case
did not come to trial until the following
winter, and then the defeudants' attor
ney asked for an adjournment until the
following day. Was he going to offer a
compromise?
Next morning the court room was
filled and every one was on tiptoe to see
how much of tiie SIO,OOO Matilda secur
ed. Bill Evans, a barber, was placed in
the witness chair by the defense.
Wore you acquainted with John
Burns?" he was asked.
"1 was," he replied.
"Is he living?"
"He is."
"How do you know?"
"Because I am looking right at him
now!"
WHY BURNS TURNED UP.
All eyes followed the barber's keen
glance. Judge, jury, lawyers, witnesses,
everyboy rose up and gazed in horrified
interest at an apparition near the door.
There stood John Burns sound aud well.
Tiie barber was discharged and lie took
the stand. His identification was in
stantaneous, complete, unquestioned.
Even Matilda broke down and wept,
though something more than joy at see
ing him may have moved her. The doc
tor grew white and red and white again,
then fainted outright.
Burns told his story. He and the girl
and the doctor formed the scheme to get
SIO,OOO from the insurance companies.
He was young and careless, and willing
to take some risks. The doctor was to
take $2,000, the girl $2,000, and ho was
to have the balance. Then he was to
marry Matilda, and with her leave the
country. He passed the wood haulers
on the ice, and almost immediately after
took off his skates, went ashore and
struck off through the woods, which
were hare of snow, and got a train at a
station ten miles from home, and went
to Chicago. Then he went up to Wis
consin and found work in a sawmill. He
corresponded with the doctor, taking an
assumed name. When the company de
manded the body the doctor wrote ask
ing for his skates, watch and the clothes
lie wore on that fatal morning. He sent
them, but saved the letter, which was
now produced in court, and in which the
statement was made: "I have a good
'stiff' about your size which I can use."
Burns accidentally learned that Dr.
Pills and Matilda were married, and lie
at once returned to Pecatoniea. lie said
that he would not have cared if his girl
hadn't married, hut her weakness and
the doctor's evident treachery led them
to overreach. The sequel was that the
doctor spent two years in prison for his
share in the fraud. Burns got off lighter,
and the woman was not prosecuted.
But how about tho man whom the
boys saw skate into a sink holiin the
river? Well, they simply lied.—(Aicago

says: " Recommended as a cure for
chronic Costiveuess, Ayer's Pills have
relieved me from that trouble and also
from Gout. If every victim of this dis
ease would heed only three words of
mine, I could banish Gout from the land.
These words would be —'Try Ayer's
Pills.'"
"By the use of Ayer's Pills alone, I
cured myself permanently of rheuma
tism which bad troubled me several
months. These Pills are at once harmless
and effectual, and, I believe, would
prove a specific in ali cases of incipient
Rheumatism.
No medicine could have served me in
better stead." —G. G. Bock, Corner,

"I have used Ayer's Pills for sixteen
years, and I think they are the best Pills
In the world. We keep a box of them
in the house all the time. They have ,
cured me of sick headache and neuralgia.
Since taking Ayer's Pills, I have been
free from these complaints."
" I have derived great benefit from
Ayer's Pills. Five years ago I was
taken so ill with rheumatism that I was
unable to do any work. I took three
boxes of Ayer's Pills and was entirely
cured. Since that time I am never
without a box of these pills." Peter
