Lichty since our borough schools closed last spring, went to Philadelphia, yes- terday evening, where he will enter the University of Pennsylvania with the object to become a full-fledged M. D. Congressman A. F. Cooper has Tur Star’s thanks for a copy of the “Year Book of the Department of Agriculture” for the year 1903. It is a most valuable work, especially to the agriculturists, and is finely illustrated. Those who desire a free copy should address Hon. A. F. Cooper, Uniontown, Fa. An eastern paper tells of a few boys who dropped an anvil weighing 200 pounds out of a fourth-story window on the head of an African who was passing, and he had them arrested. He said be was willing to let the boys have their fun, but when they jammed “a gentle- man’s hat down over his eyes and spoil- ed it in that way.” the law must take its course.

Charles and Milton Saylor, familiarly known as “Buzz” and “Booze,” collided with our newly-elected policeman, Joseph R. Joy, Monday night. Mr. Joy had seen service of a similar character many a time before, and as a result he is just as good as new.

Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 12-1 Doubtless this county never saw such a plum crop as there is this year. The trees are just as full as they can be, and many break down beneath the load of fruit. In the past years the farmers planted plum orchards and trees about the fence rows, and now they are reap- ing the harvest. The farmer does not know what to do with them. Blain Wright, of Aleppo township, who has a fine plum orchard, is said to have 2,000 bushels. Some farmers are giving of their abundance to those who have no trees. Mr. Otho Orndoff, of Franklin township, hauled some very fine plums to town and gave them away in bushel lots.— Waynesburg Times. While cleaning out the well on the R. N. Wright place, George Anderson came across a roll of butter covered over with a coating of a black, moss- like sediment. The well had not been used since the days of the late Thomas Porter, who died in 1878, and it had doubtless been dropped in the well several years before that time. So that the roll must have been in the well 30 years, at least. When cut open it appeared clean and nice, but after being exposed to the air awhile it be- came awfully rank. Some time ago George found a roll in the well on the Miss Carrie Cooper place that had been in 10 years —Claysville Recorder. “Not the least enjoyable of the day’s outing,” says the Somerset Standard in its writeup of the recent G. A. R. re- union held at Somerset, “were the foot races in the afternoon over a course of about two hundred yards. The con- testants in the first race were Jonas M. Cook, aged 61, Eli Knupp, aged 68, and Alex. Casebeer, aged 74. In this event Comrade Cook was an easy winner. Mr. Knupp, who came out second in the race, was not satisfied with the re- sult, and at once issued a challenge to any comrade of about the same age, for another race. The challenge was accepted by William Gilbert, who is one year younger than Mr. Knupp. In this race Knupp caught ‘his second wind’ and showed his heels to Persoli almost from the start.” Mrs. Wesley McClintock, of Keim, Pa. died at her home last Saturday morning, after a lingering illness. She was aged 58 years, 10 months and 25 days. The deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Kretchman. She was twice married. Her first husband was Samuel M. Ringer, who died some years ago, and when she married Mr. McClintock she became his third wife. Her last husband survives her, and he has the sympathy of his many friends and neighbors, who hold him in the same high esteem they always beld his faithful and devoted wife. A funeral service was held at the St. Paul Re- formed church, Tuesday morning, by Rev. Stover, and interment was made | at the Ringer church, in Addison town- | ship, Tuesday afternoon. A new theory that is proving success- | ful in the cure of Coughs, Lung and Bronchial affections is offered in Bee's Laxative Honey and Tar. This remedy cuts the mucus, heals the membranous lining of the throat. lungs and bron- chial tubes; wards off Pneumonia and strengthens the system generally. Croup and Whooping Cough disappear before its use as snow before the sun- shine of Spring. It’s pleasant. Sold by Elk Lick Supply Co. 12-1 Mr. Chas. C. Speicher, of Accident, was in Onkland, Saturday, where he qualified before the Orphans’ Court as administrator of the personal estate of his lately deceased mother and was also appointed trustee of the real es- tate belonging to his father, the Inte Austin Speicher. at the time of his death. Mr. Speicher was accompanied by his brother, Mr. Ross Speicher, of Wray, Colorado, who left his former home at Accident more than twenty years ago, settling first in Iowa, then in Nebraska, and later going to Colorado where he has a fine farm. Although born in the vicinity of Aecident where he grew to manhood, his visit to Oak- land, Saturday, was his first to this town. Mr. Speicher will remain with relatives at Accident for a month or more before his return to the west.— Oakland Republican. That awful grinding, stabbing pain in the buck is from the kidneys. A dose NO CIGARETTES IN HEAVEN. Barred in Next World. Scottdale, Pa., Sept. 23—Rev. George Cavanaugh, of East Freedom, Blair county, who led the devotional exer- cises of the United Brethren confer- ence in session here Thursday, made a strong plea for purity among the min- isters and chureh people. “We ought tolive here as we expect to live in henven,” he said. “I don’t think that there will be smoking and chewing of tobacco prac- ticed there, and I am very certain there will be no cigarettes.” ——— etter CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY.

A notice has been sent by the State Department of Factory Inspection to the Harrisburg School Board to have the doors. on the school rooms open outward instead of in. A deputy in- spector recently found that the doors on five of the buildings in the city opened the wrong way, and the notice followed.
