He reversed the decision of a Rockwood justice of the peace in fin- ing several Bomerset county men $1,800 for illegally taking German carp from a dam. The carp is as big a nuisance and pest among the finny tribe as the English sparrow is among the family of feather and song, says the Connellsville Courier, and the Courier is right. Judge Kooser made a very righteous decision in the cele- brated fish case. SomeTIMES Vengeance is so long overtaking a man he thinks it has lost his trail. But it never loses the trail, remember that. Fourteen years ago H. 8. Porter eloped with the wife of D. E. Douglas, living near Sioux City, Ia. They went to California, lived as man and wife, and Porter accumulated a fortune. He thought Vengence had lost the trail, but it was creeping slowly up after him, and got: him last week when the woman died. Porter had kept all his money in Mrs. Doug- las’ name, because there wae an out- standing judgment against him. At her death, Mr. Douglas claimed the property as her husband, and the courts decided he was the woman’s heir. He is $40,000 richer, and Porter, who thought he had eluded Vengeance, is left penniless, says an exchange. re rer ep pee ROUGH HANDS MADE SMOOTH.

In this respect the water used by the Meyers- dale Brewing Company is unsurpassed, on account of its purity and its freedom from mineral and vegetable matter. It comes from a never-failing spring, cool, clear and sparkling, filtered through the sand rock, and bright as distilled water. With this as a basis, and the choicest selection of malt and hops, this company is producing an ex- ceptionally pure and wholesome beer: These are some of the reasons why the Meyersdale Brewing Co. maintains, and the public is justified in believing that Meyersdale Beer is Good Beer. 2-22 Attend the Caucus Tonight. At the request of a large number of Republicans and Democrats, the com- mitteemen of the two aforesaid parties have agreed to hold ne partisan cau- cuses this year, but have issued a call for a joint caucus of all the citizens, to meet in Hay’s opera house, to-night, and place in nomination a non-partisan borough ticket. If there is to be a citizens’ caucus at all, this is the right way to go about it, as it gives all citi- zens an equal chance. It is not sur- prising, however, that certain fellows with an ax to grind are now loudly op- posing a citizens’ caucus, since one has been called in which all citizens are to be given an equal chance. The kickers wer great posers as citizens’ caucus men heretofore, when caucuses were held in which only a few citizens’ were wanted to participate, and a few selfish schemers had axes to grind. All fair- minded men should be at the caucus, to-night, and if there is a good turnout, no grafter nor set of grafters can make a selfish mix of it. BL... JOM FAVORS TICKET SCALPERS. The right of the railroads to limit the use of a ticket to the original purchaser was indirectly the subject of a decision, the other day, by the Supreme Court in New York. The case is in line with the efforts of the roads to prevent the purchase and sale of such “scalpers,” and is of genera} interest, seeing that merchants and buyers, as well as road salesmen, not infrequently purchase and travel on tickets of similar char- acter to that on which the decision turned. The case came into the Supreme Court on a writ of habeas corpus, the facts being briefly as follows: Archibald C. Newburn, a traveling salesman, was arrested on a charge of forgery, on his signing the name of George E. Whitcomb on a railroad ticket to Indianapolis, issued to Whit- comb, by the New York Central, the Lake Shore and “Big Four” railroads. The ticket was issued to Whitcomb at a reduced rate, and he had to sign the ticket, on which was a statement that he should bind himself to sign his name thereto whenever requested to do so by the proper officials of the various companies. When Whitcomb had purchased the ticket at the Union offices of the rail- way companies, he was watched, and was seen to talk with Newburn, who was waiting for him outside the office. Newburr. was shadowed, and when he presented the ticket’ at the Grand Central Station, he was asked to sign his name on it. He signed the name of George E. Whitcomb, and was prompt- ly arrested on the charge of forgery. Several hearings were held before a magistrate, and Newburn was finally held for trial. In the Supreme Court Newburn’s counsel urged that Whitcomb, when he transferred the ticket to Newburn, au- thorized him to sign his name to it whenever asked to do so by the railway officials. He therefore could not be held to have committed forgery. Coun- sel also maintained that Newburn could not even be charged with fraud in connection with the matter, as the ticket entitled the person named to transportatian, and the fact that anoth- er person traveled upon it did not de- fraud the railways of anything. The Court held that no forgery. had been committed, and directed New- burn’s release from custody, thereby establishing a precedent which should go far toward mitigating the arbitrary methods too frequently adopted by the railroads in connection with special rate tickets.—Dry Goods Economist. DON'T DECEIVE YOURSELF. Don’t deceive yourself. If you have indigestion take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It will relieve you. Rev. W.E. Hoeutt, South Mills, N.C..says: “I was troubled with chronic indigestion for several years ; whatever I ate seemed to cause heartburn, sour stomach, fluttering of my heart, and general depression of mind and body. My druggist recom- mended Kodol, and it has relieved me. I can now eat anything and sleep soundly at night.” Kodol Digests what you eat. Sold by E. H. Miller. 3-1 ! Doubtful Judge's Charge. A Missouri paper says that a new Judge arose to charge the jury, and spoke as follows: “Gentlemen of the jury, charging a jury is a new business to me, as this is my first case. You have heard all the evidence as well as myself. You have heard what the learned counsel have said. If you believe what the counsel for the plaintiff has told you, your ver- dict would be for plaintiff; but if, on the other hand, you believe what the defendant’s counsel has told you, then you will find a verdict for the defend- ant ; but if you are like me, and don’t believe what either of them said, then I'll be — if I know what you'll do. Constable, take charge of the jury.” A HEALING GOSPEL. The Rev. J. C. Warren, pastor of Sharon Baptist Church, Belair, Ga., says of Electric Bitters: “It’s a God- send to mankind. It cured me of lame back, stiff joints, and complete physical collapse. I was so weak it took me half an hour to walk a mile. Two bot- tles of Electric Bitters have made me so strong I have just walked three miles in 50 minutes and feel like walk- ing three more. It’s made a new man of me.” Greatest remedy for weakness and all Stomach, Liver and Kidney complaints. Sold under guarantee at E. H. Miller's Drug Store.
