WiNTkR is now upon us with a deep
snow and frozen ground, while the wa-
ter famine eontinues. ‘More than half
of the wells in town nre practically
have some extravagant citizens whe
insist on drinking it. There isn’t a bit
of use in scoffing at good old loger now,
for many of our citizens have to drink
it or go thirsty ; and if it waen't for the
snow we have to melt, many of us
would have to buy beer or milk to wash
our clothes with. This is snow joke,
and even snow-water isn’t to be de-
spised now. What is still worse, we
have a lot of antiquated relics in this
own with piles of money, who are mot
only too moss-covered to see that they
could make big money by putting ina
system of water works, but they ac-
'tually argue that Salisbury ig not in
need of water works. If a fire should
break out now, they would soon change
their minds.

Interesting Court Case in Which A.
D. Falknor, Late of Boynton,
Figures,
{Special to THE STAR.]
SoMemsiT, Dec. 12th.—Probably the
most important case yet tried was that
of the Meyeradale Oil and Gas Com-
pany vs. A. D. Falknor, of Meyersdate,
alleging embezzlement. Falknor was
charged with having pocketed $2,000
1 out of $5,000 received from the sale of
oil properties in Knox county, Ky., be-
longing to the prosecuting company,
turning over only $3,000.
E. M. Beachley, of Meyersdale, see-
retary and treasurer of the company,
testified: ‘Mr. Falknor was fleld
manager, had exclusive charge of work
on the ground, was paid a salary of
$75 per month and expenses. Falknor
wrote to me in regard to selling the
property, of which the company owned
an undivided one-half interest, and
suggested that power of attorney be
sent him, so that he could sell.”
Levi Deal, of Meyersdale, testified:
“Falknor said he sold the property to
Francis O'Neil, of Michigan, for $3,000,
but did not mention anything about re-
ceiving -more than that. I told Falk-
nor, in John R. Bcott’s office, that 1
understood he received $5,000. Falk-
nor did not deny it, but said he paid
Charles M. Clinton, flald manager for
divided one-half interest in the Knox
county property, $2,000, for assisting
him in making the sale.” Attorneys
John R. Scott and Harvey M. Berkley
corroborated Deal.
Charles M. Clinton, of Marion, Indi-
ana, testified: “I was fleld manager of
the undivided one-half interest in the
oil property of which the other part
was represented by Falknor. Received
no money from Falknor. Falknor ask-
ed me if I would stand by him, and I
told him I would. He said he had sold
the oil property for $5,000, and showed
me a telegram or letter stating that
$3,000 would be satisfactory to the
Meyersdale company. I told him he
made a good deal. He said cents were
dollars to him, compared with the other
members of the company, and asked
me to give him a receipt for $2,000 in
order that he could retain that much
for himself, which I did.”
The defense was that there was no
embezzlement in retaining $2,000 out of
$5,000, when $3,000 es a price was satis-
factory to the company. Judge Kooser
decided that the case belonged to the
Kentueky jurisdiction, as the embez-
zlement was there completed.

Good Times Coming.
Says a press dispateh, twenty thou-
sand workmen are needed in the Pitts-
burg district, or ‘will be needed by Jan-
uary 1, when it is intended that all the
mills and faetories shall be opened in
full, and many of them on double time.
Owners of these plants are alarmed
by the shortage of labor in the Pitts-
burg district. Thousands of the for-
eign element, having gained a little
fortune of several hundred dollars,
took advantage of the slack season, last
summer, and went home. The eoke
concerns of Western Pennsylvania
alone have placed orders for 5000 men
with employment agencies.

Horrors Revealed—Drought, Wap
and Famine Will Oceupy Inter-
vals Between Fights.
York, Pa,, Dee. 3.—Lee Bpangler, a
retired merchant of thie city, whe
styles himself the last of the prophets,
has issued a bulletin setting forth what
he calls revelations which were sent te
‘him in the deep forests.
“In my last bulletin, issued last July,”
says Spangler, “I predicted the. elec-
tion of Theodore Roosevelt as Presi-
dent of the United States. This has
come to pass. I also predicted that a
great drought would be visited upom
the country. This has come to pass.
This drought will become more gener-
al. It will visit Pennsylvania, and the
earth of Europe will be parched.
There will be great famine.
“I would prefer to be an humble la-
boring man, working at $7 a week, and
without prospects, than to be in the
boots of President Pooreveit. But he
is just the man for the place he isin.
He loves the strenuous life, His life in
the White House will be more thar
strenuous. It will be tumultuous. He
will be beset with trials and tribula-
tions such as no President of the Unit-
ed States has ever éxperieneed.
“Great riots will shake this land in
the next two years, and workingmen
will parade the streets. This great
struggle between oppressors and the
oppressed will result in the formation
of a new political party, of which the
President will be the indirect founder.
The working classes, undey the leader-
ship of Roosevelt, will triumph over
the trusts.
“There is to be an epidemic of dissen-
sions in the families of the land. There
will be hell in the kitchen. The great-
est hell will be in the preacher’s kitch-
en. There will be a renewal ¢ hos-
tilities in South Afriea in 1905.

Paying Debts.
It is amazing how many professed
Christians seem to have no conscience
on paying their debts. Just because.
the non-payment of dabts is not re-
garded ag a gross immorality, many-
never lay it to the heart, nor feel seri-
ously the utter ruin it works in Chris-
tian life and experience.
A Christian business man who dealt
in religious books and periodicals, said -
that some of the most incorrigible
cases of non-payment of debts he ever
met, were some evangelists and pro-
fessors of ‘full salvation. The habit of
going in debt, and: then putting off
paying of debts, will grow on the soul
just as truly as the: morphine habit,
tentionally tell a lie, will nevertheless,
go right on promising to pay without"
seriously intending to pay, and go in’
debt without any clear prospect of get-
ting out. Another strange thing is,
meny pecple who are in debt, whem:
they get cash money, instead of paying
something on the debt, thereby show-
ing good faith, will ‘spend their money
with a new person, and take pains to
shun the party they owe. If we are in
debt we should repent of it, and make
a covenant with God not to go further
in debt, and be careful to treat our
creditors aright by explaining our ecir-’
cumstances to them, keeping up the
intereet paid on the debt until we can
pay‘the principal. Neglecting to pay
debts will ruin anybody’s spiritual dis-
tinctions, undermine any religious life,
and render a person unfit to be used of
the Lord, in spite of the greatest gifts
or the most thrilling experiences in re-
ligion. .
If any who read this are slack about
paving their debts, begin at once te’
pray earnestly that the Lord will
awaken you to its true magnitude, and
to inspire you with perfect integrity to
begin at ence the settling up of your
financial matters in perfect righteous-
ness, and you will begin to find that
God will begin to bless you both in-
wardly and outwardly.—Christian
Standard.
