The fellow who will explode a cannon fire cracker at the feet of a horse attached to a buggy is about as reckless a fool as one can imagine. Such an one was in evidence on Monday evening and almost caused a disastrous accident.

Policeman Harris was standing near and the young man was promptly put under arrest. His friends put up a forfeit of $10 for his appearance before Burgess Kline on Tuesday. But little of the forfeit money was refunded. It is the purpose of the authorities to rigidly enforce the fire cracker ordinance. In Keed of a Hotel.

The town of New Florence is badly in need of a hotel, and a reasonable return is promised anyone with sufficient enterprise to give the pretty little mountain town a first-class stopping place. Owing to the refusal of license to both of the applicants from that place at the April license court, they have sold out, and the town is now without an up-to- date hotel. Being the headquarters of a supervisor's division, says the Greensburg Press, there is always more or less travel of railroad men to and from the place, and with two available sites for the purpose, a hotel at New Florence ought to be a profitable investment.

What a Preacher Thinks.

Rev. A. Lenkerd, pastor of the Indiana Free Methodist church, is a great admirer of Kansas, where he was born and raised. He says Kansas inaugurates all the popular religious and other movements made in the United States, and all other states are but imitators. He says that Populism as a political issue there has been almost discarded, and that the political struggles in the future will be carried on between the Republican and Democratic parties, with the chances of success in favor of the former.

Members of the Indiana Normal School Alumni some time ago contributed a fund to be used in having painted a portrait of Miss Jane Leonard. The work was entrusted to Horatio S. Stevenson, of Pittsburg, and the completed picture was on exhibition in the artist's studio last Saturday. Speaking of the" event the Pittsburg Post says: "The chief feature of the exhibit was Mr. Stevenson's recently completed portrait of Miss Jane Leonard, for the past quarter of a century Preceptress of the State Normal School at Indiana, Pa.

The portrait is almost life-size and ranks high as a work of art not only in likeness, which is quite remarkable, but in composition, grace of outline, and great beauty of coloring. The commission for the painting was given to Mr. Stevenson by the Alumni Association of the school, and the portrait is to be presented by the association to Miss Leonard July 3d, on the occasion of the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of her connection with the school. Profuse congratulations were showered on Mr. Stevenson yesterday afternoon for the successful issue of the commission from, several of the members of the alumni present, who expressed themselves entirely satisfied with the work."

From the Philippines. We are indebted to Corporal David McHenry, of Company 0, 28th U. S. for late files of Manila papers. The Manila American of April 1 gives an interesting account of a fight with the in- surrectos in which Companies and of the 28th, took an important part.

The battalion was under the command of Col. Birkheimer, and with a section of battery of the Fifth was sent out towards Noveleta on a reconnaisance. The enemy was encountered at a stone bridge across the Mindlot river, strongly entrenched. A feint was made in the rebel front while Companies and gained a position on the right flank of the enemy. When the insurrectos became aware of the flanking movement they retreated.

The American's account of the engagement continues thus: "The retreat became an utter rout, and the insurgents were literally slaughtered. The exact number of insurrectos killed and wounded in the affair at Putol is unknown, but to say that 100 dead were left on the field and at least 150 were disabled would be a conservative estimate. In one trench within a distance of 200 yards, 65 of the rebels slain were counted. Nine more were piled up in a bunch where the fight had occurred in the woods, and besides these there were insurrectos who had fought their last fight scattered all over the field. The insurgent commander was killed and Charles Johnson, a deserter from Battery of the Sixth artillery, was found with the top of his head blown off.

Johnson had on the uniform of an insurgent lieutenant, but a commission as major in the rebel army was found in his pocket, and it is supposed that he had just been promoted. "The fight which began at half past seven o'clock that morning was all over by nine o'clock. In an hour and a half, with a force of 430 men, they had attacked a strongly intrenched position held by a superior force (about 700) and inflicted upon the Filipinos one of the most crushing defeats they have experienced during the insurrection. The American loss was eight wounded. The fearful disparity "between the American and the insurgent losses is partially explained by the fact that before the regiment left the United States the 28th infantry, by its proficiency at target practice, attained the reputation of having a larger percentage of marksmen in its ranks than almost any other regiment in the army." Foster Jamison, who is a messmate of Corporal McHenry, and was also in the fight, says it was "mighty hot for awhile, but we- soon got the niggers on the run, and we kept them on the jump right along."

The following has started on its an-, nual rounds and we give it for what it is worth: "People in the country who are annoyed by flies should remember that clusters of the fragrant clover, which grows abundantly by nearly every roadside, if hung in the room, and left to dry and shed its fragrant perfume through the air, will drive away more flies than sticky saucers of molasses and other fly-traps and fly-papers can ever collect." And here is another: "If you wish to cool a room, wet a cloth, the larger the better, and hang it up in the room. If the ventilation is good the temperature will sink 10 or 15 degrees in less than an hour." The above is taken from an exchange whose editor states that after'President Garfield was shot he suffered greatly with heat until the experiment was tried of hanging cloths in the room which had been wet in ice water. He was greatly relieved by the experiment. Congressional District Jfews.

This cure ought to prove a good thing for the complaint described. The story conies to us from Driftwood, up in the northern part of this state, and runs thus: "James Norton has found more pleasure in life for some time past in abusing his family and letting them exist as objects of charity, than by working and providing for them as a decent man should, and on Tuesday a prominent citizen swore out a warrant for him charging him with non-support and cruelty to his family.

The arrest was made on Tuesday evening and Norton was placed in the lockup for the night. About 1 o'clock Norton's slumbers were rudely disturbed by four men dressed in women's clothes, their features hidden by masks. They hustled the brute outside and in the vernacular of the bowery "what they did to him was enough." By the use of horsewhips they made such a muss of the man's flesh that it will be hard for him to find a comfortable position in which to rest for several days." Next morning the justice placed Norton under bonds to provide for his family. FARM FOB, Located one-half mile from Shelocta, on Tnffcarifl and South Bend road.
