William R. Haupt, of 100 Ninth
street, Juniata, a brakeman In tho
employ of tho Pennsylvania Rail
road company, while going east with
his train Thursday night about 11
o'clock was standing on the top of a

where the wind was blowing a ter
rific gale. It got under tho roof of
the car, blowing It off onto the right

up and taken to the Altoona hospi

"Wo aro reliably informed,"
says the Hawley Times, "that the
demand of the committee of the A
F. A. policyholders on tho former

submitted to and accepted by the
Commissioner of Insurance and tho
Attorney General of this state. In
addition to the sum of $20,000 with
interest, it is demanded that the par
ties in conrol of the funds at the
time of the transfer to the Colum
bian Protective Association, shall
pay- tho actual expenses of the suit
in equity brought by tho policyhold
ers committee through their attor
ney, P. H. Iloff, which amounts to

of $500 which is to bo paid to P. H.
Iloff, Esq. The demands of tho
policyholders committee were in the
hands of the state authorities for

fore being finally accented. While
this favorable action by tho Insur
ance Department and the Attorney
General does not Impose upon the
tormer onicers of the A. F. A. an en
forced obligation to meot the de
mands made, it does indicato that
the case has been thoroughly review
ed by the departments of tho com
monwealth, and that in the opinion
ot tne omciais the demands are jus
tified."

A CARD.
To the Public:
When it was suggested that I tako
the management of tho North of Bay
Counties Exhibit Cars from Califor
nia, I answered I WOULD ON CER
TAIN CONDITIONS; namely, that
they furnish the FINEST EXHIBIT
CARS over sent out by any other sec
tion before, with its own electric light
plant, so wo could exhibit evenings
as well as in tho daytime, and gather
their WONDERFUL PRODUCTS
from their orchards, vineyards and
ranches, put up by experts, so it
would be a "WONDER" Itself, and
secure a Marine Museum and Curiosi
ties from ALL OVER THE WORLD,
so the OLD and YOUNG, RICH and
POOR, EDUCATED and ILLITER
ATE could visit and spend hours
profitably.
They have done so, and I extend
an invitation to all, knowing that we
have the most original, new and UP-TO-DATE
EXHIBIT ever brought to
your city, and a perfect system of
convincing the public of the fact that
our five counties contain more induce
ments for the Homeseeker and tho
Tourist looking for a perfect climate
and beautiful scenery. COME AND
SEE FOR YOURSELF what we are
doing.
Wo make a small charge of 25 cents
for admission, to help defray expenses
and enable us to give valuable sou
venirs suggestlvo of California
Something all will keep to remember
us by.
Yours very respectfully,
