But both companies have agreed not to interfere with each other in the matter of making surveys, and it is not likely that there will be any more arrests for trespassing. Matsi Shope, Martin Kletz, Martin Samicola, Paul Durack and Pete Shi- nock, Italians from Ralphton, were jailed on Friday on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill.

Now, if that cat or any other cat belonged to us, the farther it would stray away the better it would suit us. If we had a pet rattlesnake, alligator, toad, or even an ordinary yellow dog (pug dog excepted), we might offer a reward for the return thereof, in case the animal strayed away, but for a cat, never.

On Tuesday he called around to pay his numerous subscriptions in ad- vance, as has been his custom for years, and we are pleased to note that he re- ports his health first class. Mr. Lichty is now nearly 75 years old, and his wife is nearly 70. They are probably as hearty an old couple as we have in the town, and their years surely rest lightly upon them. Lee F. Hoffman, the well known au- tomobilist of Meyersdale, was sued by Demetrius Compton. last week, for damages in the sum of $6,250. It will be remembered by our readers that Mr. Compton and his wife and child were all hurt in a run-away accident, last fall, caused by their horse taking fright at Mr. Hoffman's automobile. Mr, Compton alleges that Hofiman did not take the precautions required by law to prevent accidents. The outcome of the suit will be watched with much interest. Earl, the youngest child of Mr. and | Mrs. Jacob Engle, of Elk Lick town- chip, wis taken to the Memorial Hospit- al, Johnstown, Pa., yesterday evening, to be operated on for appendicitis. The little fellow had been suffering for sev- eral days, and the operation disclosed the fact that he had a well advanced case of appendicitis, and some of the smaller intestines were found ‘to be twisted around the larger ones. The operation was made too late tosave the. boy’s life, and he died this morning. Deceased was aged between five and six years.

If you don’t do better you may find me doing the same thing some day !” The patient little wife looked up from her sewing and replied sweetly, “All right, bat if you will only remain away the thirty years, you needn’t trouble yourseif about the $5,000. The husband resumed his reading without continuing the con- versation farther. Food don’t digest? Because the stomach lacks some one of the essen- tial digestants or the digestive juices are not properly balanced. Then, too, it is this undigested food that causes sourness and painful indigestion.

Mr. Wright sued the company for refusing him cars to be loaded with coal from wagons, at a siding near his home, during the big anthracite strike... He won out in our County Court, being awarded damages in the sum of $700 or thereabout. Then. the railway people carried the case to the Superior Court, where Mr. Wright won again, after which an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. The Su- preme Court, however, turned down the appeal. and now we suppose the railroad people will come down with the cash. Mr. Wright, unlike some people discriminated against in the matter of cars, is not content to merely complain, but he goes after the dis- criminators in the proper way. More power to him. Frank Phenecie, a Garrett hotel man, wns recently sued by the guardian of Cora Flowers, daughter of Frank Flow- ers, deceased, for $5,000. The same plaintiff, some time ago, also entered suit against Mrs. Elsie Reagan, who also conducts a hotel in Garrett, for the same amount. Frank Flowers, it is al- leged in the plaintiff’s statement, was a | man of known intemperate habits, and that notwithstanding the fact that the defendant had been notified to desist selling him intoxicants, Flowers pro- cured liquor at Phenecie’s bar, last Oc- tober, and upon the suggestion of Phen- ecie boarded an excursion train to Somerset to attend a political meeting. Flowers did not catch the returning train, and the following morning was killed by a freight train on the Somer- set & Cambria branch. It is alleged that the deceased earned seventy-five dollars per month. Said a well known business man to us, the other day: “It would not hurt you to occasionally mention our busi- ness in your paper. It would help to fill up, you know.” Yes, we might do it. We haven’t the least idea on earth that it would hurt us, and it would, as he suggests, fill up. We might do all this, but at the same time we do not have to do it unless we feel like it. It would not hurt him, either. to come around. and say: “Give me a column or a half column of space for an advertisement, and here is the money for it.” By doing this he would become a deserter to that grand army of deadheads who expect the newspapers to continually note the im- provements they make, by giving them free puffs,and for which they never pay a cent. It is high time for all classes to learn that a newspaper is a business enterprise,the same as a dry goods store or grocery, run for a living for its owner.-Lanark (I11.) Gazette. THE RIGHT NAME.
