WE have no sympathy with the men who visit the disorderly house south of the pub- lie schools, and get robbed. Within the past few days several persons have been taken in and done for in that institution. If they had been at home with their families they- would have saved their reputation and money. WE have received a number of communications, some for and others against, certain candidates now before the P.epublican party of thia county for nomination. We have concluded that we will not allow the use of our columns for that purpose in that way.

If we shall conclude that a newspaper controversy is necessary we shall do the writing ourselves. THE Pennsylvania legislature killed local option stone dead last week. The bill prepared by Juilge Agnew and was supported by the temperance element of the state. Rut the whisky interest took a hsnd in the nt the last moment and the bill was strangled.

THE first case of the season where a child died from the effects of excessive rope jumping is reported from Williamsport.

WORK, of Marion, wants Green township to pay him $30 for damages BUS tamed on one of the roads in that township. Last fall Mr. Work while returning from funeral met a team on a narrow road in that township and endeavoring to pass the was thrown over an embankment and damaged. He has brought suit for the amount above indicated.

THERE was a strike at the West Penn glass works, at Blairsville, last week. The men and owners of the plant could not agree on the pattern of a bottle and the men quit work. It appears that union prices were demanded for the making of this bottle, which the manager of the works refused to concede, agreeing, however, to pay them in the future what the scale called for. This was unsatisfactory to the blowers and they struck. The trouble will likely be adjusted before many days.

IT is stated that the new postal money orders will soon be ready for use, and the system is pronounced such that there is little or no complication, and at the same time it is a good way to send money. A sheet calling for any amount from a cent up to $3 has been prepared, aad which on payment of the amount to be sent, will be torn ofi about the same as an express order. There will be no writing upon it hy the postmaster, the sender endorsing it as a check or draft. The government guarantees its transportation. A NOVEL liquor law will go into effect in South Carolina after July 1.

Saloons will be opened in all sections of the state. They will be owned and operated by the commonwealth. An appropriation has been made by the legislature to purchase the outfits and beverages. It is believed that the state revenues will be increased and a stricter control of the liquor traffic'secured under the new law. The experiment will be watched with interest, and, if it should prove a success, the plan will likely be adopted by other states.

The members were mostly present.

Dis- and certainly causing death sooner It also attacks men, with the same result. We notice several cases have developed in horses in Indiana county recently, and there has been one case in Brookville. The firs indication of the disease is usually a watery discharge from the horse's left nostril. Inside of three weeks cup-like ulcers will form in the nostril, followed by a discharge yellowish matter. The horse will have a cough, and usuallvlfswelling nnder the left jaw.

He will probably eat as well as usual and not fall away in flesh. At the very firs! indication of the approach of the disease the animal should.be separated from all others and a veterinary surgeon be called to examine it No glandered horse should be permitted in a field where other horses are to be pastured, as the rli-crsed matter will be left on the grass, to in contact with the healthy animals. As us the disease is known to be glandert the snimal should be killed without delar This state allows maximum price of $20 '-n owners of glandered horses properly orrfer to be killed, The disease started in London taro 5 ears ago, las! year reached New York, and now is spreading through the country. Let every owner of horses watch it closely. TO.J much care cannot be taken.

And men should use the utmost caution to prevent any of the virus from the diseased animal coming in coutacl with P. G. Mock. We clip the following from the Nampa, (Idaho), Leader, of April 8. The subject ol the sketch resided for a time with Mrs Martha Weamer, of this place, and was well and favorably ktiown to of our people, who will hear of her death with deep regret.

The sad, swe'et sleep of death, has once more left a sorrowful heart and a lonely iome in Nampa. Mrs. F. G. Muck was hprn in Parkersburg, Va in Kt brnary, 1203, and at the age of four left an orphan.

Her aunt, the mother of Mrs. Jas. A. McGee, kindly took her to her own home at Indiana, and was truly a loving and kind mother to icr. Nearly five years ago she came to live at home of Mrs.

J. A. McGee, in Nampa, and in the growth and development of her voung womanhood in our midst, she was mown and beloved by all of our people. There was always good cheer and good will the presence of Miss Annie Miller. In hat slight and delicate frame there was a leart of large proportions.

She was conscious to the last, and assured who watched br her bedside in her iast moments, that she was ready to go. Almost her last words to her mother were 'I'm going on a long journey but I'm not afraid." A few months.ago she was married to Mr. G. Mock, amidst the good wishes of her own loved ones, and the warm congratula- ions of her host of friends. She now sleep? in the quiet resting place on the hillside, but her life is not lost to us who knew her best.

She drank deep of the ife her master led when upon earth, and in ojs and sorrows of her delicate health and ife, she was always patient, loving and and. Resolution of Respect. At a stated meeting of Pine Council, 461, J. 0. A.

M. of Strongstown, held April .3, 1893, the following resolutions were adoptc-d. WHEKEAS, God in his wise Providence, jas taken from our council our brother, N. J.

B7 CABNEY, Councill JAMES MABSH, R. 3. One Hundred Years Ago. It is one hundred years ago this month since the original family of Thompsons located above Kellysburg. That was in April, 1793.

The family consisted husband and wife and a babe. They were not there lonjr until the Indians made matters unpleasant and they were compelled to return to the east. During the year 1794 General Anthony Wayne got after the redskins and drove them out, and in 1795 Mr. Thompson and several others came back and took np their old quarters. They were not further molested by the Indians.

At one lime during his first year's residence in the county, he took bis gun and went hunting, leaving his wife and child at home in the cabin. In his rambles in the forest lie got lost, and after being out several days he struck the Allegheny river near Pittsburg. When he arrived at home he found his wife nearly distracted over his long absence, she believing that he had been killed by some wild animal or killed and scalped by Indians. Said She Was From Indiana County. An unknown woman died in the Mifflin County Almihouse on April 9th.

She had been unfortunate and carried the secret of her identity and that of her betrayor to the grave. In its report of the case the Lewistown Free Press says: She was about twenty five years of age, neatly olad in a dark drees, was about five feet two inches tall, blue eyes and dark hair. Steward Ruble resort, ed to every possible strategy to find out her name and where she was from, but all to no purpose. Upon one occasion she said she was from Indiana county; that her mother was dead, but her father was living, that she made her own living, and had two In her delirious moments she spoke of one of her in the room. How Strangers Look At Us.

Indiana has no license and yet during 1892 over three thousand kegs of beer were consumed in the borough, while during the holiday week two hundred and fifty quarts of whiskey went the same way. That is the kind of prohibition that does not prohibit, but that does do incalculable harm, and makes drunkards out of manv that otherwise would only be temperate Times. The Same May Occur Here. Leechbnrg had a four hundred dollar fire on Thursday of last week, caused bv a stable catching fire from some rubbish being burned close by. As several kegs of powder were stored in the stable, the firemen ran great risk in fighting the flames.

Most of the powder was removed and the rest exploded, but did no damaee. Homer City Select School. Prof. H. V.

Bowan, will open his select school, at Homer City Tuesday, May 2. Homer is a delightful little town and the school will be in the hands of competent educators. The approaching term promises to courses were delivered by Rev. Boon as trials for The call in the hands of Presbytery from the congregation of Saltsburg was put into his hands and'was accepted. The discourses were unanimous ly sustained.

Messrs. J. Keener, A. A. Graham and H.

Mack, of Mechanicsbarg, alternates. The next meeting of Presbytery is to be held in Mechanicsbarg the third Tuesday of June next. A Pair of Spirited Horses Get Away. Bent Cummins and his brother Andrew, are the owners of a pair of high spirited colts. One day last week they concluded to hitch them to a buggy and "break them." After some trouble they got them properly harnessed and both men got in the" vehicle for a drive.

They had not gone far until they lost control of the animals and a run off was in progress. Mr. Bent Cummins jumped out and struck the ground with his feet, bnthe didn't stay long in that position. He thinks his head struck the giound in less than a second after his feet. He palled himself together, however, and started after the team and driver.

Just as he sighted them he noticed Andrew drop the lines, and make an effort to jump out. His foot caught on the side of the buggy and he struck the ground with his face. He suffered some very severe cots on the cheek and forehead and was helped to the house, put to bed and a doctor sent for who sewed up the wounds. The vehicle was wrecked.

The building of thif road began in AugURt, 1891," and has been rapidly pushed thiough since that time. About 1000 men were at work-on it all the time. This new line passes through a magnificent part of the state, and the scenery along; the roadV is very picturesque. There are only tno tunnels along the extension, one known as Friendship tunnel, being 800 feet in length and two miles from the other, Hoyt tunnel, 500 feet in length and a mile west of Friendship tunnel. The? are 36 feet wide, substantially-arched with stone and brics and timbered with oak.

THE Scott Seed Company, of Toronto, Canada, is in- OUR of the slickest' they are advertising their scheme quite extensively. They sent us" tbeir proposition, but we declined to print their advertisement. Their circular says: "For one month we are giving a special neighborhood prize to the first four persons in each locality from whom we receive twenty or more words made from letters contained in 'World's You are one of the lucky four, and entitled to one of the extra prizes of your locality, the others are also being notified to-day." The circular says first come first served, and the four "extra prizes" are a diamond bracelet, a silver service, a gold ring and a French china service. The circular also says that the winnin? of one of these special prizes does not iaferfere with the winner's chance of secaiing one of the "general prizes" at the end of the contest. But to get a prize the "first four persons" who are selected must send to this fake concern $2.75 for which they will receive not only the prize, but also a collection of seeds.

This don't look so bad on the face; but when it is known that every person sending in an answer receives notice that he is one of the "lucky four" and is asked to send on the $2.75, the claws appear. It is a transparent fraud. JOE LTDICK, of West End, is somewhat of notorious character. He served time at the Huntingdon Reformatory for robbing Wm. McDonald, of Brush valley township.

Since he got home he has been doing odd obs about town and recently has been em- aloyed the glass works at this place. Some since lie went to Greensburg. There he 'ell in with a Swede who formerly worked at works here and they proceeded to have a "good time." They visited a ho- and when they left a valuable overcoat was missing. The Swede was arrested for he oSense and held for a day or two, when je proved his innocence of the crime, and IB was discharged. The officers then looked for Lydick, but he for pas- ares new.

He is very slick individual. THE proposition to pension the judges ot the state is not' meeting with much encouragement. The Bellefdnte Watchman, whose editor, P.

The Credenda either in cushion-or pneu- cost of living is what is agitating the-whole "world. If it wasn't for what we eat and wear we could all get rich very fast. However, every prudent, practical housekeeper will tell you (and it's gospel truth) that it doesn't cost as much to live nicely as it does to live like the fellow who is always hunting for low priced, second grade good's, with the mistaken idea that they are cheap, as he is poor can't afford to buy any other kind. Now take for instance flour which is the staff of life. There is Ellis' Victor Roller, Dovey River and Tidal Wave that sells at $1.10, $1.20 and $1.30 respectively, either of which will make a loaf oi bread that any baker may be.

proud of. And this is not all, for these brands of flour will make more bread than other flours for the simple reason that they will absorb more water and every otince of water absorbed just means that much more bread. So you see that these flours are better and cheaper in the end, even if they did cost more than some unknown "wild cat" brands, which they certainly do not. We have sold hundreds of bushels of Seed Oats the past two weeks. Still a few left.

The best and cleanest circus that ever exhibited in Worthington is the verdict of our people after having patronized Walter L.

Main's circus, which was here last Saturday. There was an utter absence of the "loud" performance in the circus features, which was refreshing. Every act was good and many of them entirely new to our people. The usual nuisances, the candy and lemonade batchers, were conspicuous by their absence. And for the first time in this city there was an entire absence of fakes and jamblers, not a single man of that profession showing himself during the entire day.

The limes voices the sentiments of the community in saying that Mr. Main gave the neatest, cleanest, most enjoyable circus ever seen in Worthington. At Indiana, May 9. 8500 For Three Cents.

Last seen he was walking along the railroad near the glass works, going south. His mental and physical condition for a long time, past have been precarious, and it is feared by his wife that he has wandered off and become unable to give an account 'ol himself or has died on his travels and his body not recovered. He wore a faded brown over coat, black under coat, striped well- worn trousers and a soft, faded felt hat. He carried an open faced silver watch. He wore a full grayish beard, and his hair was gray and long, and he looked to be about 60 years of age.

He has been in Harrisburg and the telegraph thus speaks of him The sharper who recently gathered photographs in this city on a promise that he would enlarge them in Philadelphia and return the enlarged portrait free of cost, had an imitator in Buffalo who seems to haye gotten a great deal of money from the gul lible people, and an accomplice in Erie who caught a great deal of good money on the ran of "suckers." The Buffalo fellow was captured and 3,000 photographs taken from him, on each one of which he got 50 cents In Erie the fakir got a dollar with each photograph, and his victims are waiting to hear from their crayon portraits.

Let the baby carriage roll on all sidewalks as a thing of beauty with its contents of loveliness, because both are emblems and representatives of American progress, of which the nation is so proud. THE Missouri people who bid for the postal star routes in this section of country against our local contractors and got them, are here trying to unload some of their unprofitable contracts.

They should be made to pay what the work is worth or do it themselves. It is a notorious fact that there not a star route in the county that pays the contractor decent wages and the gentlemen from abroad who got the recent contracts should be compelled to do the work themselves or pay their sub-contractors fair compensation for taking the off their hands.
