A most important feature of the flat, indestructable records used on the Co- lumbia Disc Graphophone is their dura- bility. The material used is a compo- sition exclusively controlled by the Co- lumbia Phonograph Company, pioneers and leaders in the talking machine art. While its peculiar character admits of its receiving the most minute vibra- tions, the composition is hard enough to resist wear. For this reason Colum- bia Disc Records outlast all others while they are vastly superior in qual- ity. Instead of being of being scratchy and muffled, they are smooth, clear, resonant and possessed of a volume that is truly marvelous. Only those who own Columbia disc machines and the perfected disc records of the Co- lumbia Phonograph Company, have a just conception of the progressthat has been made in bringing this type of ma- chines and records to the highest possi- ble point of desirability. The Disc Graphophone is made in three types, selling at $15, $20 and $30. Seven inch records 50c each, $5 per dozen ; 10 inch records $1 each, $10 per dozen. The Graphophone and Colum- bia Records were awarded the Grand Prize at the Paris Exposition of 1900. The Columbia Phonograph Co., 615 Penn Avenue, Pittsburg, headquarters for graphophones and talking machine supplies of every kind, will send you catalogues on application. 11-6 LAST CHANCE THE BEST.

A recent dispatch to the Louisville Dispatch, from Barbourville Ky., says: “The Byrley well is about half way between this place and the Hammons gusher of the Richard Pil Company. It was reported some days ago as having a capacity of fifty barrels, which was thought to be true by the operators and the men who drilled it. Yester- day, while it was being pumped, the capacity increased to 250 barrels, and it is still on the increase. No well for a long time has caused as much inter- est to be shown in oil circles. The well is close to town, and in the locality where but little land has been leased. J. J. Hoblitzell, of Meyersdale, Pa., has the Byrley farm under lease. Leases have suddenly jumped to $100 per acre. Several leases were taken at this price on lands lying in close proximity to the Byrley lease. This property is only two miles north of here. The wells have been getting better as operations move down the creek toward Barbour- ville, and it is thought that one of the best wells in the field will be the result of the efforts to get oil within the town limits. The McDonald well, owned by Hoblitzell, is only about 200 yards from the Byrley well; the former still flows by natural force. The two will be pumped with the same power. The men who drilled in the Byrley well and the McDonald well will work in this neighborhood all winter, as Mr. Wm. Dabney, the contractor, has taken a contract to drill all winter for Mr. Hoblitzell. He has 500 acres at this point, and nearly that much around this place, and will have wells sunk on all the farms. It was reported here at a late hour last night that the Miller well No. 2 was over-flowing, and that work had been suspended. This makes the fifth for Hoblitzell. He is the lucky man in this field at present. If the Miller well is as good as the Byrley and the Me- Donald, everything will be wild sure enough.” “The Worst Form. Multitudes are singing the praises of Kodol, the new discovery which is making so many sick people well and weak people strong by digesting what tehy eat, by cleansing and sweetening the stomach and by transforming their food into the kind of pure, rich, red blood that makes you fell good all over. Mrs. Cranfill, of Troy, I. T., writes: For a nmber of years I was troubled with iudigestion and dyspepsia which grew into the worst form. Finally I was in- duced to use Kodol and after using four bottles I am entirely cured. I heartily recommend Kodol to all suffer- ers from indigestion and dyspepsia. Take a dose after meals. It digests what you eat. E. H. Miller. a ——— somerset Operators Must Comply With the Law. Bernard Callaban, district mine in- spector, has begun legal proceedings against Thomas Rees, mine superin- tendent of the Fairview mines, owned by Clayton & Galloway, of Baltimore, Md., located on Coal Run, Somerset county, for violation of the state min- ing laws. Inspector Callahan says there are no mines in the state where laws are violated so much as they are in Somerset county and that this case is only the beginning. He says certain sections are altogether disregarded and they are always the most important ones. He calls particular attention to the following: Article 4, Section 1, which relates to the ventilation to be provided, requir- ing circulation of air through the mines, 100 cubic feet for every person employed thergin, and in cases where fire damp has been detected, at least 150 cubie feet per minute. Article 8, Sections 1, 5 and 8, relating to mine foremen and their duties. Mr. Callahan says these sections are crim- inally violated and must be obeyed. It is his duty to guard the workmen and he gives derelict Somerset county mine officials warning.—Westmoreland Democrat. Spent More Than $1,000. W. W. Baker, of Plainveiw, Neb, writes: “My wife suffered trom lung trouble for fifteen years. She tried a number of doctors and spent over $1, 000 without relief. She became very low and lost all hope. A friend recom- mended Foley’s Honey and Tar and thanks to this great remedy. it saved her life. She enjoys better health than she has known in ten years.” substitutes. E. H. Miller.

THE MIDLAND IS SOLD. The Sum of $50,000 is Paid for the Road. The Pennsylvania Midland railroad was sold at master’s sale at Bedford on Thursday of last week, to Hon. J. M. Reynolds of that place for the sum of $50,000. Mr. Reynolds is said to repre- sent the Pennsylvania company in the sale, and states that the railroad, of which already seven or eight miles are completed and the greater part of the route graded, will be pushed at an ear- ly date. The road mentioned extends from Cessna Station in Bedford county north 20 miles to the Brooks Mills, a station on the Martinsburg branch of the P. R. R. company in Blair county, connecting also at the sduthern end with the P R. R. The price paid for the road does not include the mort- gages against it, which, according to the terms of the sale must be paid by the purchasers. D. P. Reighard, a capitalist of Claysburg, Blair county, was one of the bidders at the sale. i rts Natural Anxiety. Mothers regard approaching winter with uneasiness, children take cold so easy.

The Wells Creek Coal Company, at Listie, Somerset county, on the Somer- set & Cambria branch of the B. & O,, passed from the control of F. C. Keighley, I. W. Semans and T. B. Se- mans, all of Uniontown, the purchasers being S. A. Kendall, W. T. Hoblitzell, and F. B. Black, of Meyersdale, J. M. Black, of Somerset, E. T. Norton, of Connellsville, and J. L. Kendall, of Pittsburg. The consideration was in round figures $100,000. The property has been developed and worked for about six years, but there remains 550 acres of the Listie coal b ft. 2 in. thick, and the purchase included 150 acres of surface topping part of the coal. The mine is now shipping 600 tons of coal daily to the seaboard. It is fine steam coal. The cost of opera- tion is reduced to the minimum by the fact that the coal is self-draining. Pos- session was given to the purchasers Oct. 1st. a Goes Like Hot Oakes. “The fastest selling article I have in my store,” writes druggist C. T.

It Is Said to Be Only Yours While You Deserve It. The affections of a horse are not in- ferior to his intellectual qualities ; and, especially if made a pet, he becomes very fond of his master. In case of separation he remembers him for years But his affection is different from that of a dog, which continues to love his master even though the latter abuses him greatly. Rough, unkind treat- ment will quickly estrange the affec- tion of a horse, says David Buffum, in Success. Good horse sense discovers no particular reason why a horse should be devoted to a master who ha- bitually maltreats him. The intellect and affections of a horse point out two things so important to a trainer that he should keep them in mind until they become fixed habits of thought: First—Never, under any circum- stances, allow a horse to successfully oppose his will to yours. If you do he will remember it and (reasoning from experience) try it again. Second—Always keep his affection, if he dislikes you he has no wish to please you; and, if his obedience is al- ways perfunctory, you will make but little headway in training him. These two points assured he will al- most invariably try to do whatever you require of him—if he only knows what it is. Superior to Imported Wines. Dr. 8. F. Howland, formerly of 29 West 42d St., New York, says: I can say emphatically that the quality of Speer’s wines for invalids is far better than any of the imported wines.

Look-ee here, You old crane-legged, bat-eyed, ¢ Jimber-jawed and double-jointed Parody on a political party, Hopping over the country Like a bull frog on a sand bar, And bellowing at the very top Of your squeaky old voice, “TI am the great Democracy— I am the friend of the people— And besides me they have no other.” Shut up your everlasting gab And look at your record a minute. What in thunder have you Ever done to prove yourself Worthy of respect— Even the respect of a polecat? You’ve “resoluted” and “whereased” And “opposed” and “denounced” And *“viewed with alarm” Every time this country Has taken a step forward Under the fearless and faithful Leadership Of the noble old Republican party. Yes, you've done that all right, v But point out, if you can, One single instance where you've. Laid your shoulder to the wheel To help the country out of a hole.

Every man in those days Wore some of that bird’s feathers On his elbows and knees, and also On the basement of his breeches. O Lordy, Mister Democrat, Ain’t you proud of your record? Don’t it make your Guts growl with enthusiasm To contemplate the glory of it? If it don’t it ought to, And so ends this chapter. —Moravian Falls (N. C.) Patriot.
