Dog- In Greenslmrg 1 A mad dog ran through the main streets of Greensburg Friday night and for over three hours terrorized frequenters of the thoroughfares.

Flude. The Apollo, Vandergrift and Leechburg stores will be in charge of Mr. Apollo News-Record. Pittsbnrg locomotives. Up to date 2,000 locomotives have been built at the Pittsburg Locomotive Works.

If these engines were all placed in a line they would reach from Pittsburg to a point 25 miles distant from the city, or in other words they would form a continuous line of locomotives 25 miles long. Pittsburg engines can now be found all over the civilized world and wherever they go they win credit for their excellent workmanship. Phenomenal Gas Well. Here is a well that the Indiana county gas people cannot begin to compete with. The well was struck at Alliance, Ohio, on Friday.

The flow of gas is estimated by experts to be 5,000,000 feet per day. Seven men attempted to cap the well, with the result that one of them was blown through the roof of the small building which had been erected to protect the driller, and was seriously injured. All efforts to control the pressure have so far proved futile. Coke Business in Westmoreland. The Donohoe Coke company, of this city, has completed 120 of the new ovens of the 360 which are to be erected at Crab tree.

He left that place about ihree years ago for the Klondike coun- a poor boy and returned home a millionaire. As an evidence of his wealth he handed his father $20,000 and him to buy himself a palatial residence. He then went to the Berkeley Springs bank and deposited $100,000.

The mines which Adams controls in Alaska are worth from $500,000 to $1,000,000. He will spend the winter it his home and return to Dawson City the spring. A lAicky Find. On Saturday last Milton Gibson was the store of Zener Stephens, in A nickle fell from his hand and rolled behind a nail keg standing in front of the counter. He rolled the keg away and found not only his nickle but a roll of greenbacks said to contain between three and four hundred dollars.

He handed the roll over to the mer- but on going home and telling his wife of it they concluded that the money properly belonged to the finder, and he went back to the. store and Mr. Stephens gave the roll back to him. The money had evidently been behind the keg for a considerable time, as it was covered with dust. Mr.

Gibson has no idea as to how the money came to be where it was found. He said it did not belong to him and how it came there he does not know. The Markets. Hundreds of farmers embraced the pleasant weather which prevailed on Saturday and brought farm products to the Indiana market. Good hay com manded $10 and rye bundles were purchased at $7.50.

Butter and eggs were both in strong demand, the prices paic being 20 cents and 16 cents! Handpicked apples were purchased at 60 cents and 75 cents per bushel was paid for onions. Bring- in all the chestnuts you can lay your hands on. Ten cents quart will be paid for them. One Indi ana merchant has received an order from a Pittsburg firm for 50 bushels ai this price. Hickory nuts are purchasec at $1.00 per bushel and the demand is good.

Potatoes are bought at 35 cents and large shipments are being made tc the'city markets. Seven cents is paic for dressed pork. is wantec by the local who" axe paying 5( Vulcan BnDoer. Boots. Ideal Items.

The farmers are all busy husking and the fat porkers and buckwheat cakes are already on tap. It will be well for the city hunters to be cautious about shooting game not in season. Some nimrods seem to think everything, even poultry, is in season. Nibert is having the timber on his farm sawed. Work on the new barn of Archie Mchol is progressing rapidly.

The Misses Martha Nichol, Verne Carnahan, Jennie and Emma Munshower attended institute at East Pike last Saturday. Miss Grace Mchol, a student at Normal, spent Sunday at her home. Mrs. John Rising is ill with the fever. Miss Hazel Groft visited her aunt, Mrs.

George Trimble, last Sunday. William Graff and wife were visiting the latter's mother, Mrs. Ortner, last week. Mr. Ora Helman will soon move into his new home.

Our school is progressing finely, with Mr. John Adams as teacher. Qneer Hiding Places. About six weeks ago Margaret and Nancy Sparr, two maiden women of Boalsburg, Center county, died within 'our days of each other. It was known they were wealthy, and wills by joth disposed of a large estate.

Public sale of the personal property was held on Saturday, and when the appraisers were engaged in making the appraisement of the household effects they were surprised to find money in many queer slaces. Bills were sewed underneath covers and carpets, paper money and other money and gold was found in old tin cans in the attic and in old tockings hidden in wardrobes and in other odd places. In all about $1,100 was found. A Big Permit. The permit for the erection of the new Union Station in Pittsburg was issued Thursday by the Bureau of Building in that city.

The permit is issued to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and calls for the erection of a arick, granite, steel construction and 12-story and basement station and offices at Liberty avenue and Eleventh street at an estimated cost of $1,500,000. The permit is the largest one ever issued by the Pittsburg Bureau of Building Inspection, but the building will not be the most expensive building ever erected in the city. The county court house cost nearly $2,500,000, but there was no permit taken out for it, owing to the fact that the County Commissioners contended that it was not necessary. A Daring Robbery. Robert Long lives a couple of miles west of of this place, in White township.

He is a thrifty, hard-working man, and had saved up considerable money. On Wednesday morning last, about six o'clock, he started away from home to do some work, leaving only his mother in the house. He had not been long gone until a man stopped at his house and told Mrs. Long that a neighbor woman, living nearly a mile away, had been taken suddenly sick and he been asked to stop at the Long house and ask Mrs. Long to go to her aid at once.

She immediately closed up her house and started on her mission oJ mercy. She had been gone buiTa few moments when the man who hac called upon her, joined by his companions, entered the house and made thorough search for a sum of money they must have known was in the house. They were successful in their search, for. when Mrs. Long returned she found the house in much disorder and eleven hundred dollars She was able to give a pretty accurate description of the man who called at the house but thus far the officers have failed to capture any of the thieves.

The moral of this is that we have three very good banking institutions in this place, and instead of keeping any considerable amount of money about the house, the prudent man will deposit his savings in bank. Railroad Coal. Railroad Coal delivered in "any quantity on short notice. H. P.

His death is deeply mourned throughout country. How Big We Are. The present area of the United States, including Alaska and our three new island colonies, is 3,846,140 square miles. So large a portion of the world's surface annot be accurately conceived without use of comparisons. The extent of our country is 19 times that of Euro- Dean France, or 32 times that of Great Britain.

With increasing business and prosperity all around the town, it is strange that the Glen Campbell Journal persists in advocating Bryanism. Editor Thompson probably sits at his desk with closed eyes. NEMO. The Old Way. Half a century or so ago, before the Pennsylvania "common" school system was established, "subscription schools" prevailed.

The other day, while delving through the musty records in Register and Recorder Stewart's office, a young friend of ours found the subjoined contract. The teacher, it will be observed, did not undertake to do anything beyond the "capacities" of his pupils, nor guarantee anything beyond his own ability: Article of an agreement made this day of in the year of our Lord eight hundred and thirty- four, between Archibald Louther of the one part and we the subscribers of the other part; witnesseth, that A. Louther doth agree to teach said subscribers' children in the art of reading, writing and arithmatick, to the best of his judgement and abilities and the capacities of whom they may put under his care for the term of three months, for which said subscribers doth agree to pay the said A. Louther the sum of one dollar and twenty-five cents for each scholar that may be subscribed to their names; and said subscribers doth agree to find a suitable house with a sufficient quantity of fire wood-preh" pared for use for the winter- season-, with all other accommodations necessary for that purpose; and the said. A.

Louther reserves every Saterday tojiim- self and to keep an open school 'until thirty-five scholars be subscribed', and if said A. Louther should loose any time he agrees to make it up at the''end of the quarter, and said subscribers agrees to find said A. Louther in sufficient boarding and lodging during said term; on witness whereof we do hereunto set our hands the day. and year above written. Cancer Cured.

ThejBed Fronts in tie History of Ik Have you ever asked yourself the question, who was the inventor of bread TKe Christian asks God in the Lord's prayer for daily bread. It was bread that the Romans at the epoch of their decline demanded from their masters. It seems then that bread fell from heaven in a certain sense audjthat it must have been eaten in a form at least something similar to that actually in vogue. This is far from being the case. Men did not always eat the preparation of wheat flour which we call bread, and even at the present day there are entire populations unacquainted with its use.

The black tribes of Africa and the natives of America have no idea of bread and in the immense empire of where one quarter of the human race is almost unknown. A single-province Kau-Sou, manufactures bread similar to ours. Everywhere else wheat is only found in the form of azymous cakes or dry pastes like our Genoese pastes. However, the inhabitants of those countries are not to be blamed altogether, for much of the flour in those countries would not make a loaf of bread. Had they had either Tidal Wave or Victor Roller the results might have been altogether different.

In the world to-day there is no higher grade of flour made than Tidal Wave, and the bread that is being made daily irom it is evidence of its superiority. For sale everywhere.

W. S. Prampton, Grant township, has been granted an order of A Strange Coincidence. Tuesday afternoon, at 4 o'clock Mrs. Walter J.

Swanson gave birth to triplets in Huntington, W. Va. An hour later Mrs. Howard E. Swanson similarly surprised her husband.

The circumstances surrounding the coincidence are extraordinary. The mothers are twin sisters, so near alike that only their closest friends could tell them apart, who were the belles of the mining village of Breeden, in Southwestern- West Virginia until about a year ago. At that time they met the Swanson brothers, also twins and strikingly alike. In three weeks they were married. All the children of Walter are girls and all Howard's are boys.

Walter Swanson declares that his twenty-seven pounds of girls are much more to be desired than Howard's thirty pounds of boys, and says the only thing he regrets is that he cannot name one of his girls for Bryan, but he has done the best he could under the circumstances by calling them Willie, Jennie and Bryana. His brother Howard, who is the stanchest of stanch Republicans, glories in being the happy father of Hanna, McKinley and Teddy. Coal. Crabtree Coal delivered in. any quantity on short notice.
