MURDER AT FRIENDSVILLE.
Truman Root Knifgd to Death by
John Brown-=Woman Said to
‘be the Cause.
The Connellsville Courier says all
Friendsville is astir over a murder
which was committed near there, last
Thursday night, when Truman Root
wae stabbed and killed by his neighbor,
John Brown, in the home of Mrs. Oscar
Friend, about two miles from the Mary-
land town. Stories of the tragedy con-
flict. John Brown, the alleged murder-
er, is under arrest and has been lodged
in the Oakland jail. Brown and Root
were in Friendsville together all day
Thursday, and seemed sto be on the
best of terms. They left “together in
the evening, neither being intoxicated,
although both bad, it is said, taken a
few drinks. Here is where the stories
differ. One report has it that the rig
they were driving got out of order, and
Root went to Mrs. Friend’s house for
assistance. * Brown waited until he got
tired, and then followed Root. What
he found on the inside so enraged him
that he stabbed Root in the neck.
Root was on a bed at the time. His
jugular vein was severed, and ‘he was
unable to get out of bed. When found
a neighbor, he was
dead, sitting on the edge of the bed in
a reclining posture, with his head on
his hand. Brown had gone. He was
later arrested by Special Officer Chas.
| Johnson, at his home nearby.
Another story is that both men en-
tered the house at the same time. They
quarreled, and Root went out. When
he came back he took off hig coat and
commenced to fight Brown, who stab-
bed him. The Coroner’s Jury returned
a verdict that Root came to his death
as the result of a knife wound. Who
did it the jury didn’t say.
Brown’s hands were tied securely
with stout twine, Friday afternoon, and
he was sent over to the county seat at
Oakland, in company with a liveryman,
no officer going along. He is a slight,
undersized man, and seemed to take
but a passive interest in the affair.
Brown is married, but has no chil-
dren. Root leaves a wife and several
children. Mrs. Friend lives about two
miles from Friendsville. Her husband,
it is said, isin an insane asylum. The
prevailing opinion in Friendsville is
that the two men, who lived neighbors
and had always been friendly towards
each other, quarreled over the Friend
woman. From the appearance of Root
when he was found, after the stabbing,
indications are that Brown caught him
in a compromising position. The wom-
an testified at the Coroner’s Jury that
the men had quarreled, but over what,
she would not say.
RISING FROM THE GRAVE.
A prominent manufacturer, Wm. A.
Fertwell, of Lucama, N. C., relates a
most remarkable experience. Hesays:
“After taking less than three bottles of
Electric Bitters, I feel like one rising
from the grave. My trouble is Bright’s
disease, in the Diabetes stage. I fully
believe Electric Bitters will cure me
permanently, for it has already stopped
the liver and bladder complications
which have troubled me for years.”

One More Arrest for the Stauffer
Murder.
John Sivits, of Shade township, is the
latest victim of the notorious Henry
Johnson, who seems to have a mania
for causing the arrest of people for the
murder of Mrs. Catherine Stauffer,
which occurred in Stonycreek town-
ship, last November. Johnson is the
same man who had the Putman broth-
ers arrested on a warrant charging
them with tha Stauffer murder, and
who his next victim will be is hard to
tell.
While in Somerset, last Saturday,
Johnson was pointed out to us, and a
man of uglier and more brutal coun-
tenance would be hard to find. What
we heard people say of him, over there
where he is known, was anything but
complimentary, and the general opinion
in and around Somerset seems to be
that he hasn’t got one particle of real
evidence against either the" Putman
brothers or John Sivits. However,
time will tell, but we could have no
confidence in the stories of a man with |
a countenance like that of Johnson, un- |
less well supported by the testimony of
people less repulsive in appearance.
Later: The Putman brothers and
Sivits had a hearing: before
charged for want of evidence. They
will bring suit against Johnson for
false imprisonment, defamation of
character, etc., and here’s hoping
they’ll soak him good and hard.
NEIGHBORS GOT FOOLED.
“I was literally coughing myself to
death; and had become too weak to
leave my bed ; and neighbors predicted
that I would never leave it alive; but
they got fooled, for thanks be to God, I
was induced to try Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery. It took just four one dollar
bottles to completely cure the cough
and restore me to good sound health,”
writes Mrs. Eva Uncaphe, of Grover-
town, Stark Co., Ind. This King of
cough and cold cures, and healer of
throat and lungs, is guaranteed by E

Jerome B. Whipkey Dead.
Jerome B. Whipkey, a former resi-
dent of Salisbury, died at his home in
Carleton, Neb., on the 10th inst., aged
61 years, 8 months and 25 days. He
was a native of Middlecreek township,
this county, and in 1875 was elected
County Superintendent of Public
Schools, which office he held six years.
In 1885 Mr. Whipkey went to Carle-
ton, Neb.. where he embarked in the
banking business, and followed it until
he died. For a few years prior to his
removal to Nebraska, he resided in this
town, and was engaged in the coal bus-
iness with the late Thomas Rees. Mr.
Whipkey is survived by his wife, one
son and three daughters.

INDIGESTION.
“Never in the history of this store,
remarked one of the above druggists to
an interested customer, “has there
been so great a demand for a new rem-
edy as there is just now for Pepsikola
Taplets. Elk Lick people are coming
in every day inquiring if it really
true that we sell Pepsikola with the
understanding that it will cure dyspep- |
sia or pay back the money. As a mat-
ter of fact,” continued the druggist,
“not one person in fifty bas asked for
their money. and it may surprise.you to
know that at least a dozen within the
last ten days have been in to tell us
how much they have been relieved,
and how glad they are to know at last
there is a remedy that really will cure
indigestion and dyspepsia.” Pepsikola
braces up and tones every nerve and
fibre, helps digest the food, puts new
life into the digestion, improves the ap-
petite, cures coated tongue, dizzy spells
and sour stomach.
Try it for ten days, and if you don’t
see a big improvementstep in and tell
Mr. Miller, and he will hand back your
quarter cheerfully and without argu-
ment. 3-1
TUCSON THE OLDEST TOWN.
St. Augustine Deposed from Po-
sition it Has Long Held.
Dr. Alexander Craig, of Tucson, Ariz,
alleges that that city is older than St.
Augustine, Ila, by 13 years. He 8aYySs:
“There can be no doubt that Tucson
enjoys the distinction of being the
oldest city in the United States. When
that intrepid Spaniard, Melendez, dis-
covered the coast ot Florida, planted
the standard of his country and found-
ed the city of St. Augustine, in the year
of our Lord 1565, Tucson was a strug-
gling and growing pueblo, and had
been for 13 years. This is not accord-
ing to our text books on geography, but
it is just as much a fact for all of that,
and the proof of it may be found in a
stained and timeworn document of
vellum, signed by their Catholic Maj-
esties Ferdinand and Isabella, and
countersigned by the viceroy of Mexico
and Gen. Coronado, who in the early
part of 1552 raised the flag of Spain
over the little Indian village of Tuscon
and laid the cornerstone of the first
mission with his own hands. This im-
portant paper was lost to the public
until about 12 years ago, when it was
discovered by & mere accident among
the archives of the ancient Church of
San Xayies, nine miles south of Tucson.
As a matter of precaution it was for-
warded to the library of Washington
D. C., where it now lies. This diseov-
ery gives the residents of Tucson the
right to claim that their city is the
oldest in the United States.”
Editors in the Cabinet.
They are ealling Premier Clemen-
ceau’s accession to power in France
the “apotheosis of journalism” Eight
editors are in this cabinet. Distinction
of this sort is rarer for newspaper men
in the United States, although several
presidents in recent times have had
more than one journalist in theircoun-
cils.
Jackson had Duff Green, of the Unit-
ed States Telegraph, and Francis P.
Blair and John C: Rivers, of the Globe,
in his “kitchen cabinet,” these papers
successively being his Washington or-
gans. Heselected Amos Kendall for one
of his official advisers, Kendall holding
the office of postmaster general. Meas-
ured by the scale of the times, “Old
Hickory” had even more of a liking for
newspaper men than has the “Young
Hickory” of today. The new state of
Oklahoma, in these Rooseveltian days,
will start out with nearly as many
newspapers as the entire United States
had when Jackson entered the presi-
dency in 1829.

tl
An Improvement Association.
While all the towns around us are
forming associations of their business
men for the purpose of improving the
towns, what is the reason that our
town can not have one? It will cost
nothing to meet once in two or four
weeks and talk over the situation.
While it might not do much to boom
the town, yet we should get better ac-
quainted with one another and with
one another’s wants and wishes. A
community of spirit creates an enthu-
siasm which is very apt to display itself
in some direction. The old saying that
everything comes to him who waits,
may have been true in the old time,
but under the spirit of the present age,
if a person wants a thing he must Igo
after it. We believe there is a go-
ahead spirit enough in town to carry
an improvement association through to
good results if it were only started;
and we also believe that after it is
fairly started the good effects of it
would be felt immediately. Perhaps
not as some cities have done in getting
great branches of industry to settle
there, but in plans for beautifying and
improving what we have, and in being
ready to embrace opportunities, if any
should come. An association of this
t kind, it seems to us, would be pleasant
and profitable, even if not much in the
way of “boom” came from it. Will not
some of the business men make a move
in the matter?
