of the most cheerful inmates of the Greensburg jail Violating the Game Laws We are informed that persons in this community are violating the game laws by shooting squirrels and pheasants The season for shooting squirrels and pheasants does not come in until October 15 and no law abiding citizen should hunt them until that time The penalty for killing them is $10 each of which the informant gets one half Aside from the fact that every man and more especially one who pretends to be a sportsman ought to respect the law neither squirrels or pheasants are fit to eat at this season of the year The squirrels are sore eyed and sleepy and have warbles in their backs like abrindle cow and pheasants which have been hatching or looking after their young are lank tough and stringy Of course rabbits are no more fit to eat during hot weather than rats and are also afflicted with warbles kill them and if you catch anybody violating the game laws see that he is arrested $1OO Reward $1OO The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the med ical fraternity Catarrh being a constitutional disease requires a constitutional treatment Catarrh Cure is taken internally acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system thereby destroying the foundation of the disease and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure Send for list of testimonials Address CHENEY CO Toledo by Druggists 75c amily ills are the best ssmi Tiic Markets

Congress from this district has resulted in favor of ex Representa Jack It was claimed by the knowing ones that of all the candidates Jack was the most unlikely to win The result of a conference is much like the verdict of a jury in its Mr Jack has made a very creditable representative He has been active in attending to the interests of his people There is considerable talk as to the movement of the forces in the long drawn out contest and naturally some feeling engendered but this is always the case and will vanish into a universal support of the nominee by the Republi can voters of the

Own James Dets It In the Neck State Dairy Agent James McGregor of this place recently caused the arrest of several Uniontown oleomargarine dealers The cases came up for a hear ing last Wednesday There were three defendants and they were acquitted and the costs put upon State Agent Mc Gregor The selling was admitted and the whole case hinged on whether coloring matter had been used in the oleomarga rine The State claimed that the sam ples purchased in the stores and analyzed by a Pittsburg chemist showed coloring matter This the chem ist swore to but his analysis did not seem to be certain in anything except that coloring matter had been used he not being able to tell what other ingre dients were used or the defense Walter Wilkins president of the Chicago factory where the oleomargarine was made testified it was made over his own formula and contained 33 per cent each of pure fat from cattle pure hog lard and pure cot ton seed oil the latter giving the oleo margarine its yellow appearance In causing the arrests Mr Mcgregor of course was only carrying out the in structions of the state department and the costs do not fall upon him personally Kangaroo Calf School Shoes 5 to 8

land in West Wheatfield township Indiana county which was recently sold by Judge A Barker of Cambria county to a Cana dian corporation have been very active and the number of acres already gone over

tracts which are to be con veyed to the coal people find the task an arduous one and cnn4nanontlv not manv farms have been formally transferred It is expected however that a large sum will be paid over next week The fanners who have sold their coa realize that at last they are sure to receive the cash for it and are patiently awaiting it McGee surveyors are also mak ing rapid progress near

in this Congressional district speak favor ably of the nomination of our towns man Hon Jack for a second term in Congress Here are a few of them The people of this county while in favor of Major Beale

a big hand in naming the nominee Kittanning Re publican The Courier extends its heartiest con gratulations to Summers Jack who was on Wednesday renominated at Kit tanning for Congress The congres sional conference made no mistake when it decided that Mr Jack should repre sent this district again at Washington During the two years he has been in office he has made an enviable record and proven his ability beyond dispute A loyal Republican he has always stood by the party faithfully no matter what the existing conditions Not only has he been true to the party which elected him but he has made himself the staunch friend of everybody in the district Losing sight of self he has la bored unceasingly for the benefit of his constituency and during his term of office has secured for them many large and substantial favors from the national government He is a good business man and has given his full time and atten tion to his work In Jack Indi ana county has a man to be proud of one than whom there is no better nor more capable in Congress a man who is openly and fearlessly for whatever he considers right That Mr Jack will be re elected goes without saying and his previous record goes to show that the people of this district made no mistake in their choice of a representative Once more we congratulate him and predict for him a most successful term of office Blairsville Courier

distant as the crow flies Now we expected to see many things up there and we were not disappointed we assure you attractions were all that could be desired and no chickenman need regret having visited Indiana on a trip to Ho mer It is a beautiful little place away up in the mountains amid the most pleasing scenery to be found anywhere and one is attracted before one reaches the place There are some things of in terest to poultrymen and we were pleased to see the enthusiasm displayed in this section in poultry Perhaps the most enthusiastic fancier of them all is Mr Hildebrand Mr Hildebrand is assistant cashier of the Indiana Coun ty Deposit bank and the most promi nent druggist in Indiana He is one of the pleasantest gentlemen we have ever met and we are glad to note his interest in chickens He is a breeder of Barred Plymouth Rocks and we saw some ex cellent specimens in liis yards We hope if we have the pleasure of visiting him again we will find him as earnest and enthusiastic as ever over his pets An other fancier of the Barred Plymouth Rock is Mr John Taylor who also had some splendid birds We visited several other places and saw some good Light Brahmas but the bird in fashion in this section seemed to be the Barred Rock We were pleased to make the acquaint ance of a number of good fanciers whom we hope to see in the front ranks of poultry culture soon There vere sev eral other points of attraction to be found at Indiana The State Normal School was a most beautiful place and a sight worth seeing Another of the attractive points of interest is what is known as the Shack This institution is located almost in the center of the town and is surrounded by the most aristocratic property of the place It is entirely free in its purposes and is as an oasis in the desert or a ray of sun shine on a dismal rainy day There is no institution to our knowledge like the Shack we were assured it was one of the landmarks of the place and the hope of its supporters We spent two very pleasant evenings here and bring back with us most pleasant recollections of those whom we met and the pleas ures of the Some Scenes ami impressions of Chicago By an Old We left Indiana on the 4:20 train Saturday August 26 and after a long ledioUS jlIUo wa arrived in Chicago on Sunday about 1 hungry sleepy and dust begrimed as travelers usually are after a long ride in hot weather rom the Union depot 'we were hurried off to our Quarters in the Ward school house on the corner of 23d Street and Shields Avenue and as it was raining and the streets were full of water pools and as muddv as a township road be Chicago was that it was the dirtiest city we ever saw which impression was not removed during our stay of some five days After a good cleaning up and some refreshments furnished in the basement of the school house where some enterprising citizens had impro vised a restaurant some of us started out in the drizzling rain to stretch our weary limbs with a stroll through our part of the city which consisted princi pally of saloons stores and residences The streets were comparatively quiet owing perhaps to the rain and mud but onlnnns and shops were open especially saloons and running full blast The reader can imagine our impressions After a good rest in our comfort able quarters we arose Monday morn ing quite refreshed and our vital powers restored and found a clear sky and prospects of fair weather which con tinued during our stay in the city Af ter breakfast a small party of us con sisting of four men and two ladies started on a sight seeing expedition visiting first the famous Union stock yards and and slaugh ter and packing houses These are immense and I dare not attempt a minute description After visiting the stock yards we entered slaughter house and a guide being fur nished us we were conducted through the hog killing department This Was almost too much for the nerves and stomach of one the ladies and one of the gentleman visitors It will be a long time I fear before either will again relish hog chops or sausage As were not killing beef that morning We then passed on to and witnessed the killing from start to finish and that our readers may have a faint idea of the immensity of this Chi greatest enterprise I will give you a brief account of the animals slaughtered by as furnished us by the house Cattle are slaughtered at the rate of 225 per hour sheep 620 hogs 550 The complete slaughter and dressing of a beef takes 39 minutes a sheep 34 and a hog 32 This will give the reader a little idea of the lives sacrificed daily to feed humanity rom the slaughter house we repaired to a restaurant for dinner where but little meat was ordered or eaten after which we visited Lincoln Park one of great breathing places It is simply magnificent Here we enjoyed the pure air clean walks and beautiful scenery visiting the Zoo and then re tiring to the Lake shore and witnessed the sham naval battle returning after wards by boat to the city and well pleased with our outing and many strong impressions of the scenes As to the Annual Encampment of the A it has been so generally re ported in all the papers that I need not occupy space in trying to add anything to what has been reported Chicago is a great city a dirty city a wicked city with scores of churches and hundreds of saloons gambling dens and sporting houses If the opportunity ever comes to you to visit it fail to do so Its buildings are immense the business marvelous and everybody is on the rush so that you must go with the crowd or get jostled off the side walk fail to see Chicago Long will live our memory and impressions of the great Western Metropolis Sheep Damages Sept 19 Woodard Conemaugh $27 Jacob Tyger Canoe $6 Sept 25 Jacob Keith
