Although not a professor of Xormon
doctrines, there’s a foreigner living at
Baggaley who follows one of Brigham
Young's favored precepts, that of hav-
ing a plurality of wives. He treats
them both alike. Both have two chil-
dren by him, and both sit at his table
and partake of his substance. He
formerly lived in the old country,
where he had a wife who was the idol
of his heart. But the call to the new
world was stronger than the ties which
bound him to his wife, and "he sailed
for America. Once in the land of the
free, he yearned for a companion with
whom to share his rising fortunes, and
he took unto himself another.
settled down to housekeeping at Bag-
galey, where they lived happily for
about two years, during which time
they had two children. But suddenly
a cloud appeared in the shape of the
first wife and her two children, who
had come to America to see what the
husband and father was doing. They
found him at Baggaley with a new wife.
But this fact seemed to make but little
difference to the first one. She quickly
stowed away her belongings in the
house at. Baggaley and proceeded to
make herself at home. She was intro-
duced to the new wife, and there they
are all living to-day, one happy united
family. —Latrobe Bulletin.

about the building at the time, and a
| very small boy who stood on the joists
above, evidently had thoughts of the
same kind. But the man in the cellar
{ heard a noise above him, and, looking
| up, saw the boy, who was not conscious
| of the presence of anyone else. The
| little fellow carefully surveyed the
| piles of brick and rubbish, and doubt-

REMARKABLE CURE
DIARRHOEA.
“About six years ago for the first
time in my life I had a sudden and se-
. yere attack of diarrhoea,” says Mrs.
Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas “I got
temporary relief, but it came back
again and again, and for six long years
1 have suffered more misery and agony
than I ean tell. It was worse than
death. My husband spent hundreds of
dollars for physicians’ prescriptions and
treatment without avail. Finally we
moved to Bosque county, our present
home, and one day I happened to see
an advertisement of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
with a testimonial of a man who had
been cured by it. The case was so sim-
ilar to my own that I concluded to try
the remedy. The result was wonder-
ful. I could hardly realize that I was
well again, or believe it could be so
after having suffered so long, but that
one bottle of medicine, costing but a
few cents, cured me.” For sale by E.

Conerete Block Factory at Stoyes-
town.
A company has been organized at
Stoyestown for the manufacture of hol-
low concrete building blocks. At a
meeting of the stockholders on Tues-
day evening the following officers were
elected :
Josiah Specht, president; Dr. J. H.
Gardner, secretary and treasurer; Di-
rectors, Jerome Stufft, H. F. Barron, E.
OC. Welch and Sherd P. Zimmerman.
The stockholders in the new concern
represent some of the best known cap-
italists in Somerset county.
It has been decided to locate the
planton the present site of Josiah
Specht’s planing mill, near the Stoyes-
town station. The building which is
now used as a planing mill and ma-
chine shop by Mr. Specht contains con-
siderable machinery, which will be
utilized for the manufacture of the
product, and the installation of a side-
track from the B. & O. railroad will
also be dispensed with, as a spacious
extension from the main track is al-
ready in use at that point. One of the
directors states that the new plant will
be in operation within the next thirty
days. The output will consist of hol-
low concrete blccks for building, pav-
ing and curbing purposes, lintels, and
door and window sills. The system
which will be employed in the manu-
facture is controlled by the H. ®
Palmer people, of Washington, D. C.,
who initiated the original manufacture
of this material, and who hold the
| patent right for the original basic prin-
ciple of the hollow block manufacture.
| The output of the plant will be from
| three to five hundred blocks a day. say
