TIRED OF LIFE.
Young Oiri at Hamilton Decrees Her
Own Life.
Surrounded by all of the luxuries of
rural life, her every known desire
gratified, the object of the tender care
of aged parents. Miss Tessle, youngest
. daughter of Mr: and Mrs. John A.
Henry, of near Hamilton, Btole away
from those who loved her at about 0:00
o'clock Tuoaday morning and standing
In front of a mirror that she might
hotter direct the aim of the weapon
sent abullot crashing through horbreast
causing Instant death.
Miss Henry, who was 22 years old,
had been In delicate health for some
years, but never, by word or duod, had
she Indicated a desire to commit the
act which on Tuesday filled a happy
home with grief aud caused niesHageB
of the Baddest Import to be sunt to
members and friends of one of the boBt
known and most respected families In
this section of the country.
The only plausible theory, therefore,
1b that her rash act was the result of an
overburdened mind which had become
Impaired by thoughts of her afllletloo.
Miss Henry bad returned Saturday
from a visit to the home of her sister,
Mrs. Charles Miller, who lives at Wllk
insburg. She was accompanied home
by her sister, who, on Monday, accom
panied her to the homo of another sister,
Mrs. Horner, wife of Dr. Parker Horn
er, of Cool Spring. Some timo aftor
their leave taking at the Horner home,
Dr. Horner missed a 32 calibre revolver
which had lain In a drawer unused for
some time, but without suspecting any
body thought that It might have been
mislaid, until he heard of the Porrys
villa tragedy on the following morning.
Immediately after the result of the
tragedy became known all of the mem
bers of the family were summoned to
come home. The brothers and sisters
are Lee Henry and Mrs. M. H. Smith
and Drs. William and Wilson Henry, of
this place, Walter and Shorman Henry,
of Reynoldsvllle, Mrs. Charles Miller,
of Wilklnsbnrg, Mrs. Parker Horner, ol
Cool Spring, and Mrs. Smith, wife of
Dr. Clark Smith, of Plumvllle.
The tragedy is one of the most la
montable ever occurring in the com
munity of Hamilton and the aged
parents and brothers and sisters of the
unfortunate girl have the sincere'
sympathy of all who know them, In the
saddest hour that will ever come Into
their lives. Punxsutawney Spirit.

Smith Not a Candid, ti .
Congressman W. O. Smith, editor of
the Punxsutawnoy Spirit, who la now
serving the second term as Congress
man from this district, announced in
his paper last week that he would not
be a candidate for re-election. Congress
man Smith is of the opinion that con
gressional nominations should be made
by the popular vote of the district, all
candidates boing voted for on the came
day, instead of the conferee H.VHtom, iib
"nothing could bo moro at variance
with good public policy, less calculated
to promote the interests of a consti
tuency, or gratify the pride that people
should feel in the representatives, than
the rotation system." In speaking of
the conferee BVBtom, he says : "A
system better calculated to promote
dickering and discord and to make any
thing else than the rotation plan practi
cable, could not be dovised."
Two termB in congress has not given
Hon. W. O. Smith the "swelled head,"
for in closing his article on not being a
candidate for' another terra he says :
"There will bo no reason why I should
not slip so quietly and' unostentatiously
back Into the harness as the editor of
the Punxsutawney Spirit as not in the
loaBt to disturb the equilibrium of the
country or cause any undue consterna
tion in the next Congress becauso of my
absence,"

The favorable Impression that is al
ways made by the Herald Square Mov
ing Pictures assures for them a warm
reception wherever they are announced.
Especially is this true of tholr return
engagements of which they play many.

MARO.
A Most Veritatile Man Magician, Mu
sician, Artist and Shadowgraphist.
A most conspicuous example of ver
satility is Maro the magician, musician,
artist and shadowgraphist. Mam's
magic is refined, original and strictly
modern.
He relies less than any other wizard on
complicated mechanical Illusions, pre
senting a program in which dexterity is
the feature that pHrtlcularlv appeals to
his audience. His sleight of hand ex
periments are presented with an elegant
euso that is captivating. , .
But Maro is more than a magician,
he is a musician, a veritable virtuoso on
innumerable Instruments so that ho Is
ahle to introducu in hlseutortainmunt a
musical programme of delightful va
riety, appealing to every one who loves
the magical influonco of harmony.
And more than this be is an artist of
mirked ability and the pictures drawn
by him on the stage are executed with
marvelous precision, rapidity, dash and
finish.
. And again, last but not least, Maro is
probably the greatest exponent of the
art of shadowgraphy now before the
public, in which he produces life like
silhouettes with his two wonderful
nuked hands.
Aftor an evening with Maro, onu is
unablo to determine whothor the versa
tile artist Is most enjoyable as magloian,
musician, artist or shadowgraphist for
be is simply great in each of these four
rolej.

January Sale of Embroideries,
Laces, White Goods, Muslin
Underwear, Children's White
Dresses, Table Linens and
BedSpreads.
QN JANUARY 25th "TIIK JUG STORE" will begin their Annual Jim-
broidery and White Goods Sale. That this has become one of the im
portant features of the business conducted by this store is proven by the interest
manifested by the public in previous sales. Also the inquiries of our patrons as
to when we were going to have our sale convinced us that we could not abandon
oar custom if we wanted to. That thia year's sale will be a particularly attractive
one will be proven by the strongest showing that we have yet attempted and by
prices that cannot be duplicated on desirable merchandise. We all know the
Bharp advance in both cotton and wool but we purchased these goods before and
in anticipation especially for this greatest sale of the year. This is, therefore, not
a sale of old goods that we want to get rid of, or of odds and ends, but is all high
grade and desirable merchandi.se, tho best in the country.
Nearly all spring and summer saving is done in the early months of the
year, and you can therefore not afford to miss this as you will be compelled to pay
the advance in prices and the assortment in this line cf goods will not stand com
parison, which means that your selection will have to be made from broken stocks.
EMBROIDERIES.
Our line of Embroideries is by far the most complete that we have ever
shown. It consists of Edgings in all widths, Insertions in all widths, including
the insertions of shirt waist fronts and all over embroideries. Edgings 5c to 50c
a yard. Insertions 5c to 81.00 a yard. All over Embroideries, 50c, C5c, 75c and
$1.00, Do not fail to see the insertions for shirt waist fronts. They will be
scarce later.
LACES
Laces are not usually included in a sale of this kind, but so many of our
patrons have inquired whether we are going to have a sale on laces that we have
decided to run our present stock in this sale at 25 per cent off regular price.
5c laces less 1-4 cost Sic a yard. 10c laces less 1-4 cost 7Jc a yard. '
This is going to be a big lace season and you can't afford to lose 25 per cent on
your purchase.
WHITE GOODS.
We are showing the strongest line of white goods that - we have ever been
able to show. The white goods include dotted and figured Swisses, plain-and
figured mercerized, plain and figured linen, lawns and shrunk cotton. Swisses,
18c to $1.00. Mercerized Waistings 15c to 50c. Linen (all linen) 25c to $1.50.

CHILDREN'S WHITE DRESSES.

Children's skirts and aprons. Children's Dresses, 40c to $2.50. Children's Skirts,
25c to $1.50. Children's Aprons 25c to $1.00.
TABLE LINENS.
. A nice line of Table Linen in Unbleached, White and Colored, 25c to $2. 00.
BED SPREADS.
We are just in receipt of some special good numbers of Bed Spreads the
best line of spreads manufactured. All prices $1.00 to $3.50.
MUSLIN UNDERWEAR.
We have been disappointed in our Shipments of Muslin Underwear from
the factory and can't wait for this to come in. So we have taken our present
stock and made sale price 33 and 50 per cent off. This will make it cost just 1-2
or 2-3 its value. .
There are special good values in all lines and it will pay you to investigate."
