Prescottville Man Arrested On
Charge of Stealing Cattle
Constable Waugaman and P,
B. Love Effect His
Capture. -
. Frank Lowers, of Prescottville, who
was one of a trio wbp robbed a peddler
near Ratbmel Junction one afternoon
v aoout two veara ago ana servea a term
Jun the penitentiary for the bold high
sfV'sy crime, being .released from the
if 'pen" the latter part of iast December,
is now In the count; jail as a guarantee
that he will be present at the next
term of court to answer to the charge
, of larceny. . It is claimed that Lowers
has been very actively engaged In the
cattle business the past four or five
weeks, getting his cattle at night when
the owner was asleep and selling to
some butcher the next day. Most of
.the cattle stealing was done In Hender-
i i t n i n
, son towosmp ana near nun.
' From the description of the man who
r had been stealing and selling the cattle,
. Constable Waugerman, of Sykesville,
conoluded that Frank Lowers was the
guilty man and that he would arrest
. Lowers on suspicion at least. Wednes-
' day afternoon Constable Waugerman
' saw Lowers in front of the National
, Hotel, Reynoldsvllle, and at the same
time Lowers saw the constable and,
divining the officer's intention to arrest
him, Lowers started to run and
the constable took alter him. Tbey

C. R'y, over the hills Into the thickets
when Constable Waugerman lost bis
wind and lost track of Lowers.

tioned men at several nlaces that
. Lowers was likelv to go and then
waugerman ana oquire rerry n.

"Vclock and concealed themselves in the
?rlt mill where they could Bee the
feme of Lowers' mother, and they did
lot have to wait long until they saw
Sowers oomlng over the hill back of
-tflf)' mother's home. He stopped some
distance from the house, behind a tree,

.attraoted the attention of his wife, who
jriwent out to him. After a short coover
' aatlon, no one being in sight, Lowers
went into the .house with bis wife.
Waugerman and Love then sallied forth
from their hiding placo, Waugerman
to front and Love to rear of house.
! Waugerman stepped Into the house
unannounced and uninvited and took
Lowers by surprise as he was going
-through the hall, to kitchen. Before
1 o'clock Wednesday evening Lowers
- was In the Reynoldsvllle lock-up.
; Thursday Lowers was given a hear
ing before 'Squire Love and two of the
butchers who bad bought cattle from
the cattle thief, Swan Herlqulst, of
Anita, and Andy Sabel, of Desire,
identified Lowers as the man from
whom ' they had bought cattle that
was afterward elalmed. by men from
. whom the cattle bad been stolen.
The' evidence was so strong and posi
tive that 'Squire Love could not do
. 'otherwise than bind Lowers over to
r-oourt and as he was unable to give bail
kid was taken to jail. ' y '
;SNo doubt Lowers could tell W: J.
..Morrison what become of the young
heifer stolen from bis barn several
, weeks ago.

people of any civilized community, and
Is the paramount Issue in Pennsylvania

We believe Local Option Is a practical
solution of the liquor problem.
We believe the only feasible way to
secure the enactment of a Loeal Option
law by the legislature of Pennsylvania
at Its next session is by all friends of
such legislation uniting In support of
he Anti-Saloon League, an organiza
tion of reoognlzed state and national
standing.

tion assembled has declared Its alleg
iance to the principle of Local Option;

by the Local Option League of Jeffer
son county In convention assembled,
and approved by state and national officials-
of the Anti-Saloon League, we
pledge ourselves, if 'nominated and

Local Option bill as the Pennsylvania
Anti-Saloon League may find It exped
ient to present before the legislature
for enactment Into law. .

THE POKER.
Hardly Changed Sines the Days of the
Early Metal Workers.
, As the first fireplace was a circle of
atones at the mouth of a cave, so the
first poker was a piece of green stick.
It was necessary to have something to
knock the logs together with wben
they began to burn through the mid
dle, and as primitive man did not wear
boots be could uot use them to kick
the hot embers into place, as some of
us do to tills day. That was a refine
ment. If it can be so 'called, which
came later. The preen stick lasted un
til the age of iron and was then super
seded by a handy piece of metal which
possessed the advantage of being
stronger and of . not burning away.
But since tbe day's of the early work
ers In metal we have made no ad
vance. Tbe poker bas hardly, If at all,
changed through the ages. It la, as It
always has been, simple and severe of
outline. It lends Itself to no vagaries
and to little ornamentation. It is one
of the few things which no one bas
ever patented, because it may be said
to have leaped from tbe first foundry
perfect and complete In every respect
The only notable attempt at improve
ment bas been to make the poker of
brass with a twisted column, but even
then the ironpoker lurks at the side
and is known as tbe curate, because It
does all tbe rough work. The orna
mental poker is not a poker at ail, but
a sham, an upstart masquerading uu
der an ancient and honored name and
gaining credit for duties which it is
unable to perform. London Globe.
A GREAT BATTLE.
The One Known In History as the
"Victory of Victories."
The battle which Is known in his
tory as the "Victory of Victories" took
place at Nehavend, in Ecbatana, and
was fought between the new Moslem
power iu 037 and the empire of Per
sia, then one of the most powerful of
the eastern monarchies. It was one of
the most absolutely decisive bnttles in
tbe history of war, and it was all tbe
more amazing by reason of tbe fact
thnt it was won by a people who
twenty . years before hjwl been un
known barbarians, lost in tbe deserts
of Arabia. '
Arabian historians place the Persian
loss In a single day at 100.000 men
killed. This may be and probably is
an exaggeration, but the fact remains
that the rersian dycusty came to an
end when the battle was over and that
Zoroastrlanism, which hnd been tbe re
ligion of rersla for over 'a thousand
years, was at once supplanted by Is
lam. " Its modem representatives, as Is
! well known, are now the Parsees of
India.
The victory was so absolutely de
cisive that it extended the1 Arabian do
minions over tbe whole of ,tbe region
lying between tbe Caspian bps and the
Indian ocean. With tbe exception per
haps of the battle of Tours, no single
fight ever made' Bach a difference in
the after history of the world.
8hs Knew the Rsason.
He was smoking and musing over
the ways of the world. "Odd, Isn't It,"
be said' at last, "bow few people at
tain their Ideals in this world?"
"In what way?" Inquired his wife
suspiciously, for she was not a woman
to be caught off her guard.
'Well," be replied slowly. "I was
thinking of Wllmer when I spoke. He
had an Ideal woman that he was al
ways talking about when be was in
college. She was tall and stately In
his dreams, and be seemed to have no
place In his heart for a small woman,
and yet and yet"
"Well?" "
"Why. be finally married a little
thing who hardly comes to bis shoul
der. I wonder why it was."
"Perhaps. Fred." she suld very slow
ly and distinctly, "be in like tbe ma
jority of other men ami waa afraid
to take any one of bis size."
He changed the subject.
A Shocking Tree.
There Is a peculiar tree In the for
ests of central India which baa most
curious characteristics. Tbe leaves of
the tree are of a highly sensitive na
ture) and so full of electricity that
whoever touches one of them receives
an- electric shock. It has a very singu
lar effect upon a magnetic needle and
will Influence It at a distance of even
seventy feet The electrical strength
of the trees varies according to the
time of day. It being strongest at mid
day and weakest at midnight. In wet
weather its powers disappear alto
gether. Birds' never approach tbe
tree, nor have Insects ever been seen
upon It
It's Good Point.
"But," asked the long haired young
man, "Is there nothing at all about
poetry that you like?" 1
"Yes," replied Crabbe. "Whenever I
see a poem It makes ne feel good to
realize that therd's no law to compel
me to read It" Catholic Standard and
Times.
No grip Is so hard to shake off as
that of early convictions. Maurice
Thompson. '
SKEEJNG IN THE ALPS.
Picturesque 8port on the Order of
"Follow Your Leader."
' The skeelng clubs form one of the
most picturesque sights to be "Seen In
the Alps In winter. With their bright
colored blanket suits, tasseled caps or
tam-o'-shanters and buge white mitts,
they go "through the snow covered
woodlands across tbe white mountain
lopes usually in single file, perhaps
fifty sliding along after tbe leader In
, true Norwegian fashion. Indeed, It Is
a variety of tbe old game of "follow
your leader." for what he does the
others are expected to do. So if be
comes to a ledge and Jumps off all are
. supposed to leap.
I But jumping with the-skees Is not
' so easy as It looks,- and tbe end is of
ten burial In the snow bank, for un
: less one la very sure of his .footing the
! long, narrow wooden slats will twist
or turn without warning, and over
' yon go. With tuaskee one can go
' over hard snow at a very rapid rate,
but when be strikes a patch of the
newly fallen snow It is a case of slow
to be sure, for any rdlnute the bottom
may sink away wltb him.
But It is healthful as we'll as In
vigorating, and the women have fonnd
that they need not look awkwnrd even
In this form of outdoor dress, wltb a
ribbon here and a tassel there and
some even adorning their skees. St
Nicholas.
HE TOOK THE CASE.
The Lawyer 8ld He Would Attend to
-v It, and He Did.
A Washington1 attorney Is rather
noted for the facility with which be
forgets financial obligations. He bas
owed a certain grocer $8 for a year or
two. The other day the merchant con
cluded to try a new course wltb blm.
Meeting blm in bis store, be said:
"Judge, I have a customer who owes
me a small bill and has owed It for a
long time. He makes plenty of money,
but won't pny. What would you do?"
' "I'd sue him," said the lawyer em
phatically. "Well, I will put the account in your
hands." And the merchant presented
a statement of the account against the
lawyer himself. .
"All right. 1 will attend to It," said
tbe disciple of Blnckstone.
A few days later tbe merchant re
ceived tbe following note from tbe
Inwyer:
"in the case of - versus . 1
took Judgment for tbe full amount of
your claim. Execution was Issued and
returned 'no property found.' My fee
for obtaining judgment is - $10. for
which amount please send check. Will
be glad to serve you lp any other mat
ters In which you may need an attor
ney." Washington Star.
The Bashl-bazouk.
Like each of the various clnns of the
Kurds, the basbl-bazouk can easily be
distinguished by bis costume. Ills
shoes, or "yemenys" (meaning leatben.
are red or black. His gnlfllke stock
ings, which leave tbe knee exposed,
are elaborately embroidered in black,
his short Turkish trousers are of
homespun, while about his waist is a
short sash of wool or silk, surmounted
by a leather beft in imi colors and
embossed In red. Tbis is divided into
three or four sections. In which .be
keeps bis revolver, his chibouk, or pipe,
and his yataghan, always kept sharp.
Tbe bashl-bazouks never carry dag
gers, as tbe Circassians do. A car
tridge box hangs from the side, as also
a small silver snuffbox. Tbey wear
two jackets, tbe under one with short
sleeves and tbe outside one with long.
At the elbow Is an opening In which
they carry In a leather bag written
quotations from the Koran as a talis
man to protect them from the bullets
of tbe adversary. About the neck Is a
chain of silver coins, from which ,1s
suspended a powder box.
Violent delights have violent ends
and In their triumph die like fire and

B. E. Wellendorf, Former Reyn
oldsville Man, Called by. Death
Connected With Many Big
' Railroad Construction
Projects,
Mr. B. E. Wellendorf, one of our most
popular and respected citizens, died
suddenly Wednesday morning, May 11.
He had spent tha previous evening at
the Elks' club rooms playing cards with
a party of friends and was apparently In
the best of health and spirits when he
went to his looms at the Franklin
House at about 10 o'clock. '
About five years ago he suffered with
gangrene in one of his toes and owing
to arteriosclerosis it beoame necessary
to amputate the limb, above the knee.
Two years later his other' leg was am
putated, since which time he bas spent
most of his time in a rolling chair and
was looked after by an attendant,
George MoBrlar, who left him about
1.15 Wednesday morning sleeping
When he returned at 7
peacefully.
o'olock to waken him, he found him in
precisely the same position that be bad
left blm. He had evidently passed
away peacefully during the night with
out ever waking up. It Is supposed
that a blood clot had formed in an ar
tery and reached the heart, causing
Instant death.
Mr, Wellendorf was born In St. Marys
January 6, 1845, and: was, therefore, in
his sixty-sixth year. His parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Matthias Wellendorf, were
among the earliest settlers of the town.
But one of their children now survives
in the person uf Mrs. J. W. Heylmun,
of Hollldaysburg, Pa. The deceased
was a civil engineer by profession and
was employed la the building of the
Danbury Division of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad, the
Catawissa Division of the Philadelphia
& Reading Railroad and what is now
the Buffalo & Allegheny Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. He was chief
engineer and - superintendent' of tbe
Clarion River Railway and of tbe P. S.
& N. Railroad when they were first
built and was a partner in the firm Of
Miller & Wellendorf, which constructed
the Johosonburg Railroad.' More re
cently he located and constructed a
railroad in tbe Adirondack mountains
In New York State, the name of which
we do not now recall. For several years
he was engaged In the hardware bus
iness in Reynoldsvllle, Pa. He was
also a member of the mercantile firm of
Hall & Kaul Co. of this city.' He bad
amassed a considerable fortune and was
the owner of considerable real estate in
tbis section. He was a director in both
tbe St. Marys Gas Company and tbe
St. Marys Water Company. He was a
warden of the St. Agnes Episcopal
church at this place, a member of the
Masonic order and of the B. P. O. E.
Oa September 25, 1877, be married
Miss Julia Hall, of St. Marys, who is a
sister both of Senator Hall and Judge
Hall, Unfortunately she was not with
ber husband at tbe time of his death,
as she had been in poor, health herself
for some time and left the evening be
fore for Kirksvllle, Missouri, to consult
an eminent specialist of that place,
' It (alls to the lot of but few men to
be held in such universal esteem as was
Mr. Wellendorf. Prior to the loss of
bis limbs he was pre-eminently noted
f r the intense energy which he dis
played in all his business enterprises.
While he was extremely successful as
a constructing engineer and insisted
that every man under blm should do
his full duty, he was always beloved by
bis subordinates, who are unanimous in
T
HE MAN with a

Yours may come and find you without
means to meet it, if you have not formed the
saving habit. .
Why not start an account with us to-day
and have a few dollars laid aside to meet any
emergency that may come?

their testimony as to the absolute jus
tice and tbe kindly consideration wltb
whichte treated them. He possessed
tbe highest sense of bonof, which was
exhibited In all his relations with bis
fellow men, and. the perfect integrity of
his character was universally recog
nized. . It Is safe to say that he was not
only respected, but that he was well
liked by all who knew him, and best
liked by those who knew him the best.

Mr, Wellendorf was well known by
many of the older citizens of Reynolds

number of years ago. "
