A tremendous hail and snow storm
passed over this locality about two o’clock
on Friday afternoon. A circus was ex-

A gentleman told the writer that when
he was first married he was annoyed one
day by a line stretched across the yard on
which was hung a score or more of
squares of linen of a kind only seen in
the vicinity of homes where there is a
newly-born baby. He said to his wife:
“What are all these things!” Sheprompt-
ly replied: ‘Those, my dear, are the
flags of our union.” 1f the joke is old, I
ark the reader's forgiveness.—Somerset

Miss Ella Musselman will be married
at the Musselman home, East Main street,

iness makes it necessary for him to travel
most of the time, he will take his bride
with him at once as a traveling compan-
ion and it is not likely that they will set-
tle in a permanent home for some time
to come.—Somerset Herald.
An exchange says: ‘Don’t trade with
the slow-going, unenterprising merchant.
Deal with the men who ask your trade;
who are enterprising enough to seek your
patronage. They are the men who help
to build a city.” Such advice is hardly
necessary. The public don’t. Scores of
merchants who are penurious will pay
double rent to get near a large advertiser

be called enterprise, but the people often
give it other names less creditable.

Mr. Fred Dilter, butcher for Thos, E.
Boston. has a monstrocity which he re-
moved from & cow which he had killed,
Monday. The ‘‘what-is-it” is about
twelve inches in length, and resembles
an alligator abont the head and in gener-
al appearance. while on certain portions
of the body fine hair is discovered. There
are no feet to be seen, and in appearance
and substance it is a monstrocity and a
mystery. The cow from which it was
taken was purchased from Mr. William
McNeigh by Mr. Boston.—Lonaconing

‘Cucumbers are a greatly maligned
vegetable,” said a man who ingists npon
having vegetables freshly picked every
day trom his own garden during the sum-
mer. ‘‘They are considered by the ma-
jority of persons to be unhealthy; where-
as if eaten within a few hours after they
are gathered they are, on the contrary,
very wholesome—quite as much so inmy
estimation as Jettnce. My great-grand-
father was hale and hearty at 91, and 1
remember being told that his diet con-
sisted chiefly of cucumbers and tobacco.”

Many of our farmers, apparently, are
not aware that the ‘‘fence law” was re-
pealed by an act of Assembly of 1889,
and that we are now living under the old
‘‘cattle law” which requires all persons
owning stock to keep them enclosed with-
intheir own fields. Such however is a
fact, and every farmer, who is possessor
of any cattle, should be careful to keep
them fenced within his own fields, so that
tkey van not tresspass on another person’s
land. The present law will compel the
owner of stock tresspassing to pay for
all damages that may result, whether the
owner of the land has his fields fenced or
not.—Standard.
The following mathematical problem
is disturbing the sleep of many of our
citizens, says the Portland Argus: A
and B are itinerant apple merchauts.
They each started out in the morning
with thirty .apples. A sold his at the
rate of three fora cent. B sold his at
the rate of two for a cent. Consequently
their receipts were, A 15 cents. B ten
centr; gross receipts 25 cents. One day
A was sick and unable to go his rounds,
80 B took the whole sixty apples and
started out to sell them. He figured for
a while on the price he should charge,
and decided by adding his own and his
partner's price together to sell five for
two cents. He disposed of his apples,
but wiren he came to figure up. his cash
proved he had only 24 cents instead of
25 ar on the previoug day. What became
of the other cent is the question now: be-
fore the honse for discussion.

SHORT TARIFF SERMON.
,
‘‘CHEAPNESS.”
We do not want it. It costs too much.
Every ‘‘cheap coat” represents a certain
amount of misery and suffering. The
merchant who buys ‘‘cheap” clothes for
himself or family decreases the purchas-
ing power of his own customers.’
The manufacturer who buys only
‘‘cheap” raw material and necessaries of
life would lessen the market for his own
goods.
Nor is there any inconsistency in de-
crying ‘‘cheapness” and at the same time
favoring low prices.
There is a reasonable limit that is de-
sirable, but to go beyond which is sui-
cidal.
The laborer and capitalist should each
have a reasonable return for his labor
and risk. Each is dependent on the oth-
er.
The wonderful progress and prosperity
of the United States is due to its splendid
home market, the purchasing power of
which depends on high wages.
The making of '‘cheap” things means
starvation wages and no purchasing
power.
Nothing is cheap when we have noth-
ing with which to buy.
Producers of one article are consumers
of another and to cripple one is to equal-
ly affect the other. We must have good,
fair prices if we would keep up our stand-
ard of wages,
The Free-Traders’ cry for ‘‘cheapness”
is a delusion. The ‘‘cheap loaf” becomes
stale for want of a buyer.
We have no use for ‘‘cheapness” in this
country of high wages, good living, com-
fortable homes, happy firesides and gen-
eral prosperity.
In China they have more Simon-pure
cheapness than anywhere else in the
world. It might be agood thing to ship
a few shiploads of our American apostles
of cheapness over there. It would be a
sure cure for their mania.
Miners Should Organize,
A close observation of the mining
fields of America cannot help but alarm
those who are interested in the miners’
weltare, and cause them to cry out:
“Mingrs, orgamze!” On the one hand-the

folder, the two insides of which are alike.
ing manner, and on the other the coal
business of the country is rapidly passing
into the hands of a few wealthy combi:
nations. Every day we read of immense
coal deals, whereby valuable coal proper:
ty is passing from individuals to the com-
binations, and agents of corporations are
busy buying up all available coal lands.
This is not encouraging to the miner, as
the coal business is being centered in the
hands of a few, and the possibilities of.
individuals competing with large corpo-
rations are daily growing less. Miners,
for the sake of your wives and children
you should organize. If you have no re-
spect for your own rights you should not
barter the rights of those whom God en-
trusted to your care. You never needed
organization more than you do now, and
if you fail to take advantage of the time
vet left you, you will have an opportuni-
ty to repent at your leisure. Drop your
jealousies and petty differences, bury
your animosities, and join hands in de-
fense of yourselves and families. There
is a desperate struggle before yon which
you can only overcome by a powerful
organization, and if you don’t’ organize
you deserve the conditions of slavery

The St. Louis And Chicago Electric
Raflroad.
A company has been organized for the
purpose of constructing, maintaining and
operating a complete system of a high
speed electric railroads between the cities
of 8t. Louis and Chicago and to have the
same completed and ready for operation
in time for the opening of the World's
Fair. The work of construction has al-
ready begun. The company has pur-
chased the exclusive right to operate such
a system between the cities mentioned,
under the valuable and necessary inven-
tions of Edison and Wellington Adams.
This will be the first air line railroad ev-
er built in the world, vet the basis of the
work has long been known. The road
will be divided up into 26 sections of 10
miles each, which will construct a com-
plete block system and make it impossi-
ble for any two cars to run at high speed
upon any single section at the same time,
thus making collisions impossible. It
will be In a practically straight line, At
all of the grade crossings, whether wagon
or railroad, a red electric light will be
displayed and an electric bell rung for
two minutes before it is time for the train
to pass. The standard schedule time of
all through cars will be 100 miles per
hour. The trip from Chicago to St.
Louis can therefore be made in from 24
to 8 hours, so it will not be necessary
to travel at night, therefore, no through
passenger train will run after 9 o'clock
Pp. m. and the tracks will be reserved at
night for high class freight, express and
mail. 5
The top of the cars will stand only 9
feet from the rails. Each car has a wedge-
shaped nose or front for cutting the air.
The driving wheels are 6 feet in diameter
and are capable of making 500 revolu-
tions in one minute, The weight of the
entire car with its motors is but ten tons.
Each car. will be {lluminated and heated
by electricity. It will be possible to stop
the car within balf a mile by auxiliary
electric brakes. J
Through cars will be run at intervals
of one hour, or oftener, according to the
requirements of the traffic.
