The first run of the Woman’s Club,
of New York, Jan. 12th and 13th, from
New York to Philadelphiagand return,
marks a memorable advance in auto-
‘mobile construction. It has been only
& short time since a 280-mile run in
mid-winter would have necessitated
skilled drivers with a good knowledge
of automobile construction, and that
12 cars with only women drivers and
women passengers, should make this
trip without a single mishap, certainly
speaks well for the American car of to-
day.

The editor of an Iowa exchange says:
“The other day we were walking and
passing a home from which emanated
some inspiring strains of music from
the piano and the throat of a charming
young lady, fashionably dressed. The
only words that were audible to us
were something about “dear mother.”
Passing on and turning down a side
street we saw through the open kitchen
door the!dear mother” of the sweet
warbler at work at the wash tub, the
sweat streaming down her care-worn
face. Still she appeared happy and
was singing, “we’ll work nil Jesus
comes.”

Our brother W. 8. Livengood, is at
present filling a business engagement
with the Roanoke (Va.) Daily World,
which will keep him busy there until
about the middie of March. He states
in a letter that Roanoke is a very up-
to-date city, and in mentioning our
cousin John H. Yost, formerly of Gar-
rett county, Md., but now one of the
prominent business men of Roanoke,
he says: “Cousin John has a palatial
home and is the whole goods in this
man’s town. He surely is a hummer,
and I cannot express my appreciation
too emphatically of the courtesies he
has shown me and my partner since
coming here. I doubt if Roanoke has
a more popular, wide-awake and pro-
gressive citizen than John Yost.”

On Tuesday evening a jolly crowd of
twenty Brothersvalley young people
drove tothe home of C. B. Dickey and

awaited them, after which the pleasant-
ries were again rescued.
The party returned home about 2:30
seeming to have enjoyed
themselves. One young man said he
so much that his stomach
hurt. He said, too, that some of his
oysters hadn’t the eyes cut out,

STOMACH DISTRESS.
And all Misery froia Indigestion
Vanishes Five Minutes Later.
Every family here ought to keep
some Diapepsin in the house, as any
one of you may have an attack of In-
digestion or Stomach trouble at any
time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome a
sour stomach five minates afterwards.
If your meals don’t tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill you,
or lays like a lump of lead in your
stomach, or if you have heartburn, that
is a sign of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case of Pape’s Diapepsin and take one
triangle after supper tonight. There
will be no sour risings, no belching of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea,
Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or
Intestinal griping. This will all go,
and, besides, there will be no sour food
left over in the stomach to poison your
breath with nauseous odors.
Pape’s Diapepsin is a certain cure
for all stomach misery, because it will
take hold of your food and digest it
just the same as if your stomach
wasn’t there.
-Actual; prompt relief for all your
stomach misery is at your Pharmacist’s,
waiting for you.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than:sufficient.to cure a case of
Dyspepsia or Indigestion.

Road.
Koontz & Ogle, representing the
Connellsville, Uniontown and Wheel-

tition to court, recently, in which they
asked that the report of viewers be
confirmed. The court directed the
papers to be filed, and to be confirmed,
unless exceptions are filed within
thirty days.
The Connellsville, Uniontown &
Wheeling Company is a subsidiary
concern of the B. & O., and is planning
to build a large freight yard, and prob-
ably another road through the south-
ern part of this county, in order to
avoid the dangerous Sand Patch tun-
nel. The viewers appointed some time
since by Judge Kooser to make an in-
spection and assess damages in favor
of the property owners who failed to
agree with the railroad company on
the price to be paid for their land,
