On Tuesday morning of last week
Richard Wade shot and killed Owen
Edwards, at Borden Shaft. Md. Wade
is a resident of Borden Shaft; Edwards
was a resident of Scranton, Pa., but was
working in the George's Creek mining
region. It seems that both of the
young men loved the same girl, Miss
Rosa Crow, and that a dispute over the
girl led to the crime.

Mr. Wm. Wagner,one of Elk Lick
township’s most prominent farmers, re-
ports a freak calf recently born on his
farm. The animal has five legs, four of
which are in their proper place, while
the extra leg is a small, short one that
lays back on one of the shoulders. The
extra leg does not seem to inconven-
ience the calf in any way, and the
young bovine is thriving and doing well.
A county in Ohio has a lady road su-

ordered all the hills in her district to
be cut low-necked and scalloped at the
foot, the valleys gathered in, creeks
hemmed in, all the culverts set bias, a
double row of tucks run around the

ered with daisies and fringed with gold-
en rod.
What is probably the largest coffin

Birthday Surprise.
Last Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob Shunk were pleasantly remem-
bered and surprised by a large number
of their friends and neighbors,
suddenly and unexpectedly entered
their home with a goodly supply of
groceries, articles of wearing apparel,
and some money, all of which was pre-
sented to the worthy old couple.
The old folks were almost wild with
joy and surprise, and upon inquiring
what it all meant, they were told it was
Mrs. Shunk’s 61st birthday.
A good supper was then prepared by
the good women who were present
which was greatly enjoyed by the en-
tire company. After partaking of the
supper, the evening was spent in pleas-
ant conversation, and when the visitors
departed they did so with the full
knowledge that they had made two old
hearts glad by strewing a few flowers
of kindness in their rugged and thorny
pathway through life.
The old folks were so pleased that
they hardly knew how to thank their
friends enough, and all who were pres-
ent wish the old couple many happy re-
turns of the day.
Grandpa and Grandma Shunk have
worked hard all their lives, but they are
now old and infirm, and the 'y have a
hard time of making a living, zs neither
one of them is able to do
much work.

War, and a better soldier, Tne

- Elk Liek Miners Quit Work.
All the miners of the Elk Lick region
quit work on Tuesday morning, and by
so doing they occasioned quite a sur-
prise, as no such movement had been
lovked for by the general public.
What the miners quit work for is
this: There is a difference of 5 cents
per ton between the Elk Lick region
and the George’s Creek region, and the
miners are out for these 5 cents, which
everyone knows is honestly due them
1 | There used to be a difference of ten
1 | cents per ton, as the freight rate from
this region to tide-water used to be ten
cents per ton higher than from the
George's Creek region. A few years
nowever, the B. & O. Railroad
Company reduced its freight rate ten
{s per ton from this region, making
it the same as from George's Creek
1| But instead of giving the miners the
benefit of the reduction, the Elk Lick
operators advanced the price of min-
ing but 5 cents per ton. In this they
did wrong, and the miners are now
asking only what is their just due.
The miners of this region a short
time ago asked the operators to meet
them in joint conference, in Meyers-
| dale, the object being to talk their dif-
| ferences over. But the operators en-
tirely ignored the request of the min-
{ ers, and this is what caused them to
quit work so suddenly.
We have always contended that em-
ployers make a mistake when they re-
fuse to meet their employes in confer-
ence, and we think this instance is no
exception to the rule. The way to
break up labor unions is for the opera-
tors everywhere to do as they did in
the Connellsville region, where they
have voluntarily raised wages to a fair
and just standard. The miners there
are so well satisfied, that when an or-
ganizer recently visited that region,
not enough men would stop work to
listen to what he: had to say. Under
existing circumstances Tne Srar of
| course favors organization ; but if em-
| ployers would do the square, just thing
| all over this prosperous land of ours,
| there would be no need of labor unions,
and everybody would be better, more
| prosperous and more s happy,

The Roaring Spring correspondent of

the columns of that paper:
“The Veteran association of Blair
county have strongly endorsed the re-
nomination and election of Joseph E.
Thropp for Congress. This in per-
fect accord with long established pree-
edent and the prominent recognition
given him by the Republican party
more than ordinarily demands this of
the party. Congressman Thropp is an
ardent friend of the old boys of ’61, and
they will be heard from in the coming
campaign. The shadow of the admin-
istration of Hoke Smith has not even
fallen upon him, and there’s no man
who is more ready to enter the arena
in the interests of the boys who brought
the country through a baptism of blood
and cement its unity forever than Jos-

The New York World, ;
Thrice-a-Week Edition.
ALMOST A DAILY—AT THE PRICE
OF A WEEKLY.
The most widely circulated “weekly’
newspaper in America is the Thrice-a-
Week edition of The New York World,
and with the Presidential campaign
now at hand you cannot do without it.
Here are some of the reasons why it is
easily the leader in dollar a year jour-
nalism.
It is issued every other day, and is to
all purposes a daily
Every week aan subscriber receives
18 pages, and often during the “busy”
season 24 pages each week.
The price is only $1.00 per year.
It is virtually a daily at the price of
a weekly.
Its news covers every known part of
the world. No weekly newspaper could
stand alone and furnish such service.
The Thrice-a-Week World has at its
disposal all of the resources of the
greatest newspaper in existence—the
wonder of modern journalism—*“Amer-
ica’s Greatest Newspaper,” as it has
been justly termed—The New York
World.
Its political news is absolutely im-
partial. This fact will be of especial
value in the Presidential campaign
coming on.
The best of current fiction is found
in its columns.
These are only some of the reasons ;
there are others. Read it and see them

We offer this unequaled newspaper

Soldiers for Mr. Thropp.
It is gratifying to see the loyal sup-
port the old soldeirs of Blair county
are proffering to Congressman Thropp.
If there is anything the boys in blue
admire it is fair play. They have tried
Mr. Thropp and they find that he al-
ways gives them and their letters to
him prompt and careful attention, nev-
er stopping to inquire whether the ap-
plicant for hisservices isa former friend
or foe All are equal in his sight, and
highly deserving of the best efforts he
can put forth for their welfare. In Bed-
ford county the soldiers are having the
same experience with him—always get-

Davis, as when Mr. Barefoot caught
up with him down in West Virginia he

Davis was tried yesterday, and found

two years and six months.—Somerset
