In different parts of the country
there are developed various kinds of
fools. That this large class of people
is not all dead, yet, everybody knows.
There is no need of calling witnesses.
Out at Folsomville, Indiana, on Sun-
day. there was developed a new kind of
fools. A special sent from Evansville
relates that on that day the funeral
services of the Rev. James Hart were
held in a church at Folsomville. He
had been pastor of the church for fitty-
five years, and before he died made the
gruesome request that when placed in
his coffin and carried to the church
preparatory to burial, the coffin should
be stood on end, “so that he could look
out on the congregation he had served
so long.” The old man’s request was
obeyed and the reader may imagine
the result. The lid was taken off the
casket and the corpse was stood on its
feet and permitted to “look out on the
congregation” They alzo looked at
him. We are told that “three preach-
ers occupied the platform with the
corpse and that during the services
many in the congregation became hys-

Here is something worth knowing :
When a splinter has been driven deeply
into the hand it can be extracted with-
out pain by steam. Nearly fill a wide-
mouthed bottle with hot water; place
the injured part over the mouth and
press tightly. The suction will draw
the flesh down and in 8 minute or two
the steam will extract the splinter and
the inflammation together.
Week before last, while sick abed,
Mr. Harold Smith, of Everett, Bedford
county, Pa., was united in marriage to
Miss Margaret E. Lowry. Mr. Smith
steadily grew worse, dying two days
later. The parents of the deceased
lost two other sons only two weeks
earlier, both dying from the effects of
the hideous crime of vaccination. Yet
we are told that vaccination never
kills. It kills more people annually
than smallpox, only the handy medical
statistic jugglérs do not keep ‘account
of the large number of victims.
Another deliberate and unquestion-
ed murderer, as he ‘walked upon the
death trap, informed those about him
of his perfect assurance that he was
_ going straight to Heaven. Well, by
gum? If all the eriminals who forfeit
their lives to the law are going to
Heaven, really good people who object
to such vicious associations may need
to ask for a berth in the other plsce.
But it is scarcely a debatable question
that the modern idea that quick and
complete salvation exists for the earth’s
wickedest creatures, while good people
who die too suddenly to beg pardon for
reasonable transgressions are eternally
fost, is fallacious and preposterous.—
Rockwood Gazette.
Attorneys O'Connor aud Martin, who
were recently rétained by the grocers
of Windber to protect their interests
against the tyranical methods of the
Eureka Supply Companie’s manage-
ment, have begun their fight against
the existing evils by reporting the true
condition of affairs to the head officials
of the Berwind-White Coal Mining
Company at their Philadelphia office.
The attorneys, and the grocers as well,
are of the opinion that the officials in
the East do not fully realize what is
goiag on in Windber, and are of the be-
{ief that they will put a stop to the al-
leged obnoxious practice of intimidat-
ing boarding bosres and miners. In
the event of the oflicials in Philadel-
phia refusing to take cognizance of the
existing sentiment in Windber. and
compelling the understrappers and
the management of the Eureka Supply
Company’s store to pursue a more
liberal policy, proceedings before the
State Department will be resorted to.

PERFECTING A POTATO.
New Kind Produced .Which is Ex-
pected to Drive All Others Out.
Luther Burbank, who developed the
potato bearing his name, and who has
brought out a seedless plum. has just
produced a new potato which he thinks,
will supplant the present varieties.
He is now trying to make it a littl
larger. With the skill he has in being
able to produce large or small varieties
at will, this achievement is only a mat-
ter of time.
Ahout » year and a hall ago Mr.
Burbank secured from a remote part
of South America some potatoes Lo
work upon. He crossed and recrossed
plans, and today says that he has be-
tween 20,000 and 30,000 varieties of
new potatoes under his care. .
The new potato will be sweeter than
the old one. Its pulp will be almost
of earrot hue, and will be very pala-
table, Mr. Rurbank says the new kind
of potato will revolutionize the potato
industry.

DO YOU WANT STRENGTH?
If you want to increase your strength
you must add to and not take from the
physical. In other words, the food
that you eat must be digested, assimi-
lated and appropriated by the nerves,
blood and tissues, before being expelled
from the intestines. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure adds to the physical It gives
strength to and builds up strength in
the human system. It is pleasant to

'’rwOULD SPOIL THIS STORY TO TELL IT IN
THE HEADLINES.
To use an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an “o’er true tale” Having
happened in a small Virginia town in
the winter of 1902, it is a story very
much of the present. Up to a short
time ago Mrs. John E. Harmon, of Mel-
fa Station, Va., had no personal knowl-
edge of the rare curative properties of
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. “Last
January,” she says, “my baby took a
dreadful cold and at one time I feared
she would have pneumonia, but one of
my neighbors told me how this remedy

Can’t Fool the Miners.
From the Berlin Record. :
The brawling Lonaconing monopoly
purchasable Star, which thinks to serve
its masters the better by posing as a
friend of labor, isn’t fooling any one
with its sample copies coming into the
county and filled with abuse of J. A.
Berkey, Esq., as is shown by the below
documentary epistle formally approv-
ed and officially signed by Berlin Local
Union No. 25 at its meeting Wednes-
day night and torwarded to Mr. Ber-
key next day. Judging by the Star
and the sample piece brought over from
Frostburg, northern Maryland must be
breeding ground for bumptions and

Hore Shooting at Boswell.
Somerset, Pa., March 6.— Deputy
Sheriff Francis Yoder was fired upon
and wounded in the left leg last night
while guarding the tipple of the Mereh-
ants’ Coal Company at Boswell.
Yoder was close to the mine mouth,
when he says a man jumped from the
bottom of an empty mine Car, and ex-
eiaiming, “Me shoot non-union men!”
let go his revolver. The bullet passed
through Yoder’s overcoat close to the
heart. i :
Before the deputy had time to draw
his gun he was struck from behind
with a coupling pin and knocked tothe
ground. He says that four or five
shots were fired upon him after he was
down. only one of which took effect.
The would-be assassins escaped in
the darkness.
This morning officers of the coal
company appealed to Sheriff Coleman
for a larger force of deputies, and at
8 o'clock this evening three left here to
reinforce the six now on duty at Bos-
well.
The attack on Yoder, following so
swiftly after the conviction of ten of
the Boswell rioters Friday, has alarm-
ed the coal operators.

By the decree of Judge Kooser last
week the settlement of Boswell became
a borough. making the nineteenth in-

Court has directed that a special elec-

Constable T. I. McClellan was directed

for the appointment, together with

After many months of inconvenience
on account of an inadequate water sup-
ply. the test made at the new well last
week was highly satisfactory to the
borough officials, and the indications
are that a strong flow of pure, soft wa-
ter has been struck. The well was
drilled to a depth of 503 feet, after
which a thirty-six hours’ pump test of
about fifty gallons of water per minute
was made, an? those in position to
know state that the water was not low-
ered more than about ten feet in all
that time. A more thorough test will
be made later with a pump of greater
capacity. The quality of the water is
an improvement on the present supply,
and if a further test shows up as well,
the supply will exceed that of the three
other wells owned by the borough.
