Nearly everybody knows now how
old Ann is, and the next problem to
solve is what kind of a gait she travels
A little figuring the following
pointers will tell the story: “If Ann
walks to the railroad station she is 10
minutes late; if she rides she is 20
minutes early; she can walk at the
rate of three miles per hour, and can
ride three times as fast as she can
walk. How far does Ann live from the
station?”

An unusually large number of for-
eignars have applied at Uniontown for
their first papers, with a view to be-
coming citizens of this country, during
the past few months. The dockets
show that the entire number who have
taken out their first papers here is 8,
932. While they represent every na-
tionality, England, Italy and Anstria
seem to lead in numbers, while Russia
will probably come in next.—Connells-

A prominent lawyer in a western city
ounce came east to transact some busi-

he found that he had forgotten the
name of the firm he had come to see.
After spending some time in useless
efforts to remember, he at last decided
to telegraph lome to his partner for
the necessary information. In answer
he received the following telegram:

in Cumberland
county, Pa., two boys were born to the
same mother, one just before midnight,
December 31, 1900, and the other soon
after 12 o'clock on the first day of Jan
uary, 1901. There is quite a contro-
versy as to the day on which the echil-
dren will celebrate their birthday, and
whether or not they are twins or only
brothers, as they were not born on the
same day, nor in the same year, nor in
the same century.— Williamsport Lead-
er.
We know of some people in this town
who ought to read the fable of the man
who found a viper nearly frozen to
death, took it into his house and warm-
ed it back to active life, only to see it
sink its poisonous fangs into a member
of his family, thus showing how un-
worthy it was of kind treatment. Be-
ware of taking vipers into your family,
for they do not appreciate kindness,
and to harbor, pamper and shield them
only loses friends for their benefactors,
and the vipers, too, will turn upon you
in the end.
By word received by friends from
Dr. Bruce Lichty and wife, who are
now visiting in Kansas, we learn that
they had quite an experience in reach-
ing Wellington, Kans. after leaving
St. Louis. They were unfortunate
enough to run into a flood, and they
were delayed 48 hours, and then only
reached their destination by riding" on
freight trains and walking around the
washouts. They will certainly have
some great stories to tell of their trip
when they arrive home.—Meyersdale
Republican.
Miss Jenet McKinley, of California,
arrived here last week, having been
summoned to the bedside of her broth-
er, Dr. D. 0. McKinley. Miss McKin-
ley will be remembered by most of our
people as one of the best school teach-
ers in this locality a quarter of a
century ago, and she has many friends
here who are indebted to her for much
of their education. Like her niece of
the same name, who has been teaching
for the past few years in our public
schools, she is a natural instructor, and
her life has been a very useful one in
this community
There are a certain class of persons
whom no business man who values his
personal reputation and desires his es-
tablishment to have a good name in
the community,’ will cultivate, and
whom he will give cold treatment, es-
pecially if they turn up day after day
in the capacity of loungers and hang-
ers-on. There is more truth than
poetry in the declaration of a shrewd
observer that many an apparently
reputable business house is made dis-
reputable by the character of the
friends cultivated by the proprietor,
says the Somerset Democrat, and it’s a
mighty truth.
William Rowe had quite a close call
on Monday last. He was driving a
team for John Meager and had been at
the West Salisbury depot, where he
loaded an apron on his wagon for the
coal chute at the Meager mine. He
was on the way to the mine with it
when one of the horses was struck by a
train of cars, just as he was driving
across the railroad about a quarter of
a mile north of the depot. The driver
did not observe the train, which was
approaching very slowly with the cars
ahead of the engine. It was a close
| call for both horses and man, but aside |
| from a few bad bruises received by
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Keim, of Elkins,
W. Va, arrived bere last Friday for a
visit with their parents—Mrs. S. C.
Keim and Mr. and Mrs. John Rees.
They brought with them their five
daughters, all bright and pretty chil-
dren, which would indicate that the
little Mountain State is a good place to
raise girls, although it is often said
that West Virginia is not a good place
to raise anything-but persimmons and
hell. William is in the life insurance
business, and it seems to agree with
him, for he tips the beam at 205 and
looks as handsome and healthy as a
big sunflower. He says West Virginia
will surely go Republican in Novem-
ber, by a good, safe najority.
Constable John Swindell of Meyers-
dale, arrested “Al” Kidner the other
day on a charge of assault and carrying
coneealed weapons, on information of
either 8S. J. Ringler or one or two of his
hired men. The hired men, it appears,
had made threatening demonstrations
with pitch forks while Kidner was
crawling out of a cave-in at the Chap-
man mine, intending to cross Ringler’s
land to reach the public road, as has
been customary all along for the em-
ployes of that mine to do. Ringler’s
hired men warned Kidner to crawl
back in the hole, threatening at the
same time to use their pitch forks on
him. Not caring to imitate the craw-
fish, Kidner drew a revolver and pro-
ceeded onward as intended. The coal
company claims to have'a lawful right
to send their employes across Ringler’s
land at will, while they are on their
way to or from work. They claim that
was a concession granted by Ringler
when he bought the farm. Ringler de-
nies the right claimed by the coal com-
pany, but the general impressian is
that tne coal people know what they
are doing. The case will be fought out
in court, and the prosecutor will likely
come out second best.
BRUTALLY TORTURED.
A case came to light that for persist-
ent and unmerciful torture has per-
paps never been equaled. Joe Golobick
of Colusa, Calif, writes: “For 15 years
I endured insufferable pain from Rheu-
matism and nothing relieved me, though
I tried everything known. J came
across Electric Bitters and it’s the
greatest medicine on earth for that
trouble. A few bottles of it completely
relieved and cured me.” Just as good

general debility. Only 50e. Satisfac-
tion guaranteed by E. H. Miller, Drug-

Illegal Fishers are Heavily Fined.
Johnstown, Pa., July 22.—Justice of
the Peace David Gildner, at Rockwood,
has imposed what is probably the heav-
jest fines ever made under the present
fish laws of the state upon Herman
Fogle, Austin Schrock and Madison
Romesberg. The men were convicted
of catching 166 carp and ‘catfish by
building a fence across Buffalo creek,
in Brothersvalley township, driving the
fish into the wire pass and killing them
with clubs, then selling them at 10
cents per pound. The fine was $10 for
each fish, or a total of $1,660, in lieu of
which they must serve 166 days in jail.
The men had caught thousands of fish
in this way, and practically cleaned
the stream, but proof applied only to
186. The state fish commissioner has
been summoned to investigate.

REMARKABLE CURE OF
DIARRHOEA. '
“About six years ago for the first
time in my life I had a sudden and se-
vere 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
I have suffered more misery and agony

ILLEGAL FISHING DEFINED.
Hollidaysburg, July 21.—In four
brought against Blair
county people by W. E. Meeham, of
Harrisburg, of the State Fish Commis-
sion, for violating the State fish laws,
Justice of the Peace Lowry fined each
of the defendants $100.
The defendants claimed that they
were fishing in private waters. The
state officer maintained that the state
assumed jurisdiction of all the streams,
private or otherwise, and that a man
can fish illegally on his own grounds,
as well as on the lands of others.
