a wire is stretched to the ground on an angle. A hangman's noose
is securely fastened around Mile, Russell's neck and the other end
of rope is tied around the wire. She leaps from the top of building,

which is done so quickly that you wonder at it aftetit is all over.
It will not be necessary to spend a large amount of money to

ball game, is free. Of course if any person comes to town that day
that insists on spending money there will be places where you can
be separated from it, but it will not be for admissions to see the
Jist of amusements that has
, under whose auspices the two-day celebration is
held.
Bh Lumber Contract
on Upper Medix Run
Men Working on Job,
Tbe Goodyear Lumber Company bus
Installed nine camps of 76 men eacb on
its 200 acre tract of land on .the Upper
Medix Run, Clearfield county, and by
tbe fall or 1900 not a stick of the 90,000,
000 feet of hemlock and 20,000,000 feet
of hardwood will be left standing. A
combined force of 700 woodsmen will be
.encaped on the lob. A tramway 20
miles is being built, over wbicb tbe
lumber will be hauled to tbe Low Grade
division of tbe Pennsylvania railroad.
The Goodyear Company has contracted
with jobbers to cut and stock 40,000,000
feet this season and 60,000,000 feet next
season. This will do away with the
hemlock and pine. Tbe hardwood has
bmn aold to a Nr England Arm and
will be used to make bond paper for tbe
government'. Tbe Upper Medix Kun
'tract has been owned by tbe Goodyears
for 15 years, but owing to tbe fact that
'it was isolated from the railroads the
big belt has been left standing. Tbe
surveyors and carpenters who laid out
tbe camps on tbe tract in a week's time
drove out 40 deer and at least half that
many black bearb, while tbe entire re
gion abounds with smaller game.

Fall Creek to Have
An Industrial Boom
Promoters Promise Employ
ment for 1,000 Men.
One of the biggest and most import
ant dpals that has been consummated
in this vicinity in a long time was
closed this week when papers were
signed giving control of 140 acres ot
land at Falls Creek to M. L. Thomas,
a Rochester, N. Y., capitalist. Mr.
Thomas' Intentions in acquiring' control
of this valuable tract is to at once make
it the location of several industrial
establishments and open up a portion
of it for building purposes.
Two concerns are ready to put in
factories that will employ 300 men at
the "tart and have 1,000 men on the
payrolls within two or three years.
The proposition Is the largest that
has ever come up to any community
in this section and means the addition
of several thousand people to tbe
population and tbe enhancement of
vMues. This site has been seleoted
only after an exhaustive examination
into not only tbe availability of this
but dozens of other places. DuBols

County Democracy
A. C Smith Will Contest for

At the April primary election tbe
Democrats only nominated one candi
date for county commissioner, and it
was thought then that there would
only be one Democratic candidate for

cratic ticket for county commissioner,

will have two candidates In the field

T McGaw, one of tbe present board
of county commissioners, who was given
tbe Democratic nomination at the
April primary for seoond term, is a
strong candidate and will make a good
run at the fall election.
