ally wo judge they have taken up tho

There are very few people who real
izo how responsible is the position of a
train dispatcher, especially when some
thing happens so all trains ate delayed
and the dispatcher has to make a sched
ule for the trains. It is certainly a hard
strain on a man's net-res, becanso be
kt.ows that one small mistake may
cause loss of life or destruction of prop
erty. It requires a level-headed man
for such a position. The train dis
patchers of tho Low Grade had to make
schedules for trains two or three days
Inst week.
Senator Christopher Lyman Magoe,
the journalist, politician, millionaire
and live huslness man of Pittsburg,
died at his temporary residence In Har
rlsburg at 5.22 p. m. Friday last, March
8th. His death was the result of a
malignant ulcer of stomach. It Is esti
mated that Senator Magee was worth
$0,000,000. no carried WOO.000 life In
surance and was making arrange
ments for 9400,000 more. Senator
Magee was one of Pittsburg's fore
most citizens. A. writ for a special
election to All the vacancy caused by
his death will be Issued by Lieutenant
Governor Gobln after the funeral.
A bill was recently passed by the leg
islature whicb provides that every city
and borough shall have tho power of
eminent domain to enable It to acquire
by purchase or condemnation the plant
or works of any company heretofore or
heroafter Incorporated for tho sup
plying of water within the limits of
such municipality, and may purchase
or acquire tho works and plant of such
company within such district and so
much thereof located outside, In so far
as It does not Interfere with the water
supply of other municipalities, of such
district as such city or borough may
require at a price to be agreed upon,
and In case of failure to agree upon
such price, such city or borough shall
pay therefor such damages as shall be
awarded to such company by Ave view
ers appointed by the Court of Common
Pleas.
Last week's issue of the. Falls Creek
Herald contained almost a full column
article about two regular organized
gangs of thieves among the boys of that
rcoently organized municipality. Some
of the children are from the homes of
respectable and prominent citizens.
The boys robbed tho merchants in a
systematic way and each gang had a
hiding plaoe for their plunder. It was
when the thieves began stealing from
each other that a couple of the young
villains confessed to the crime.
It Is not necessary for Reynoldsvllle
people to go to Falls Creek, or any
other town, to find small boys who are
regular thieves. We have them here
aud unless the young chaps are looked
after soon their thieving propensities
will have reached a point that will be
hard to master. Because they are boys
and that they oome from respectable
families, the young rascals are always
leniently dealt with. People are loathe
to tell pareuts that their boy steals, but
for the boy's good the parents should
know it and if they don't take their boy
in hand, It might be wise to give him a
small dose of law. It would oertalnly
MUNI
T
have wholesome effect on some of. the
other young thieves.
Ralph H.
LEFT A GOOD TESTIMONY.
R. E. McKee Died Sunday Evening
Consumption Caused Death.
Ralph F.vorett McKee, a highly re
spected citizen of Reyntililsvillo, jM'iiee-
fully departed this life at 0.00 p. in.
Sunday, March 10th. 1001. at the home
of his father, David McKee, at Corsica,
near Drookvlllu. Consumption was
cause of his demise. For several years
the dread disease had been sapping his
vitality, but Ralph fought bravely
against the inevitable and continued
his daily toil until lust D.-ccniber, when
he gave up his position In the J. A C.
C. .St I. Co. scale olllco at Dig Soldier,
and just before Christmas ho started
for Arizona in hopes that the change of
climate would restore his health and
give him a longer leas.) of life, but the
disease had fastened Itself too firmly to
yield to the change of climate. Ralph
was away over two months, and during
that time he was at Kansus City, Kan.,
Deming, New Mexico, and Tucson,
Arizona. He had an ttuck of grip and
his doctors advised an I mined lute re
turn home if he would see his loved
ones before he died. IIo arrived in
Corsica at noon on Tuesday of last week
and his wife and daughters went to
Corsica Wednesday and were at his bed
side when he closed his eyes In death.
R. E. McKee was born at Roseville,
Jefferson county, September 1st, 18U".
June 24th, 1891, he was married to Essie
Calvin, of Drookvlllu. Unto them two
daughters were born, who, with the
wife, survive Ralph.
Mr. McKee taught school in West
neynoUlsville during the term of 1888
80. He embarked In tho grocery bus
iness In this place with John H. War
nick in 1802, continuing in thut business
about one year. In Juno, 1804, hu ac
cepted a position In tho scale olllco at
Dig Soldier, where he remained until
compelled to give up last December on
account of poor health.
Ralph united with the Pisgah Pres
byterian church about twenty years ago,
and was a consistent member. He was
a worker In the Sunday school as long
as his health permitted and was assist
ant superintendent of .the Presby
terian school in this place at time of
death. He passed away with a testi
mony on hlB lips that he was entering
Into the joyful haven of rest. About a
half hour before he died he roused up
and said to those around his bed side:
"Oh, It's beautiful." A few minutes
later ho said: "I thought I saw
mother," and just before his heart
ceased beating ho nodded his head and
whispered, "Yes, yes, I'm coming," and
thus his earthly career ended.
Funeral services wero held at the
Plsgah Presbyterian church at Corsica
at 2.00 p. ro. Tuesday, conducted by
Rev. W. Frank Robor, pastor of Reyn
oldsvllle Presbyterian church, assisted
by Rov. F. P. Brltt, of Corsica, and the
mortal remains of a good husband, lov
ing father and kind nolghbor, were
burled in the Plsgah cemetery. The
funeral was a very large one. The
Clionlan Club of Reynoldsvllle, of which
Mrs. McKee Is a member, sent some
beautiful cut flowers.

Ruth and Helen, Mr. McKee is survived
by bis fathor, threo brother and three
sisters.

A Nineteenth Century Marvel.
Foremost among tho developments of
the century Jt'st closed stands tho In
ception, the growth, and the amazing
accomplishment i.f The Salvation Army,
which, beginning as a local effort in tho
slums of Loudon's East End, has grown
and thriven and prospered until to-day
only the ends of the earth delimit It.
So true Is this that with the recur
rence each year of Tho Army's Self
Denial Week, which Is once more ap
proaching, the whole Christian world Is
moved, recognizing in Tho Salvation
Army the world's great natural almoner
to the poor.
Every year, without fail Tho Army
which during every other week gives
Its strength, Its sinew, Its blood as a
matter of course sets aside ono week
as a time of most secial, urgent and
prayerful effort on behalf cf tho un
reclaimed. This year tho dutes are
from March 17th to March 24th, during
which period, all over the United States,
not only the active members of The Sal
vation Army, but In so far as It is pos
sible," their friends and sympathizers
nnd cordial upholders will exert every
effort so fur to deny themselves of every
conceivable thing without which life
can be maintained, that thereby they
may gain and set aside funds for the
prosecution of tho work among the
abandoned and lost.
A rich Salvationist is truly an ano
maly; a poor one is a commonplace,
yet during this Week of Self Denial and
Player none Is found so poor but by
some effort of renunciation he or she
offers a sacrifice to the cause.
Always The Salvation Army must ap
peal to tho public for assistance, but at
no lime does It appeal quite as It docs
during Its Self-Ueniul Week. In gener
al It appeuls to the public iih a body,
warmhearted and generous, but at this
particular juncture it appeals especially
to tho followers of Christ, asking them
for His sake, that as a recognition of
His abounding grace and love towards
them as followers i f His Word, they
take up thu cross of self-denial, of self
sacrifice and willing renunciation for
tho sake of the poor, the abandoned and
hopeless, who without help are lost,
indeed.
Night Was Her Terror.
"I would cough nearly all nightlong,"
writes Mrs. Chas. Applogate, of Alex
andria, Ind., "and could hardly gut any
sleep. I had consumption so bad that
If I walked a block I would cough
frightfully and spit blood, but, when al
other medicines failed, three $1.00 bot
tles of Dr. King's New Discovery wholly
cured me nnd I gained 58 pounds." It's
absolutely guaranteed to cure coughs,
colds, lugrlppe, bronchitis, and all
throat and lung troubles. Prlco 50o

Letter to F. W. Campbell,

Dear Sir: Lead and oil Is no longer
the paint to bo prosperous with.
As everybody knows, lead and oil
chalks or powders off In ahotit throo
years three years Is Its limit.
Painters aro putting n llttlo zinc In
their lead to make It tough it lasts a
good threo years with a little zinc.
Hut painters don't like thn Job of mix
ing zinc. It's a tedious job, and, both
being white, nobody knows when the
mixing is thorough. It gets half mixed;
and tho paint goes on, a stri-nk 'f lend
and a streak of zinc. That is not good
work.
The mistake nindo Is In trying to do
by hand what Is better done by ma
chinery. It .nd-work can't cnniwto
with machine work.
Duvoe lead and zinc Is your pttlnt. It
wears twleo as long as lend and Oil.
This reduces thn cost, of keeping a
housu well puinlrd to liaif.
Yours truly.
