Jeffersonian Democrat DOLLAR A VBtE. Mrs. Levi L. Rolls, Deceased. Mrs.

Amelia Reitz, nee Bergner, died at her home in Brookville, on Richards MUROM IN OLIVER TOWNSHIP. A case of cold-blooded murder developed in Oliver township Wednesday of last week. Ward Mottern, aged 17 Brookville Ohautauqua, 1810. That the 1916 Chautauqua program to be given in Brookville is to be an extraordinary one is evidenced by preliminary announcements which have been made by W. C.

Coleman, General Superintendent of the Colt-Alber Chautauqua. Included among the attractions to be heard here during the seven great Chautauqua days are no Burgess Shields has raised the price for carrying a Jag. The last offenders to appear before him got soaked to the tune of $15, with notice if they appeared before him again the price would be raised. With the trouble and expense of securing the necessary with which to fill up on it would be cheaper to go to some neighboring town when the spirit moves one to "tank up." For the first time since the burning of the Red bank Mills on the night of February Otb, 1916, the Redbank Electric Company furnished electric current to its patron in this place Thursday of last week. The power from the temporary plant was turned on shortly after noon on that day, and has been moving like clockwork since.

The temporary plant is In the old planing mill building, and will be maintained there until some time next summer, when it is thought the new plant will be ready for operation New Bethlehem Vindicator. The D. A. R. Military Euohre.

The military, euchre giveoby the D. A. R. was held in Pearsall's Hall, Tuesday evening, March 28th. The object of this euchre was to raise funds to build a gateway at the entrance of the old cemetery.

This euchre was largely attended, about two hundred tickets being sold for the occasion. The game was carried out in military style throughout, the tables being covered with white, each table representing a fort with a silk flag and the name of the fort standing in the centre. The hall was most beautifully decorated, the walls being almost covered with large American flags, the tally cards being tied with red, white and blue ribbon, and small silk flags were jjiven as favors to each one present. The two forts deserving honorable mention were Fort Columbus and Fort Schuyler, each having won nineteen battles, which entitled thsm to a small flag for each battle won. Excellent music was furnished by Miss Grace Black, William McKnlgbt, and John Conrad, who rendered selections of all the National airs during the evening.

At 11:30 m. refreshments were served, after which an hour was enjoyed in dancing. Among the D. A. R.

ladies who took prominent part were: Mrs. Charles Corbet, Mrs. Sarah Rodgers, Mrs. Geo. R.

Matson, Mrs. William Darr, Mrs. J. A. Haven, Mrs.

Mary. DeMott, Mrs. Harry Currell, Mrs. S. S.

Henderson, Mrs. A. R. Day, Mrs. L.

V. Deemer, Mrs. A. B. Mc-Clure and Miss Jane Henderson.

The proceeds amounted to almost $100. Conoert by Choral Society. The Choral Society gave a'concert in the M. E. church on Sunday evening last which took the place of the regular evening services.

On account of the society being composed of members from the different churches, no services were held in the Presbyterian or United Presbyterian churches. Rev. Digbt made the opening prayer and Rev. Hill read theScripture lesson and the benediction was by Rev. Potter.

The large church was filled to almost its capacity and the audience was a highly appreciative one. The music throughout was first-class, and nothing but words of commendation were heard for all those who took part. We doubt if there is another town of its size in Pennsylvania that can turn out as good a bunch of singers and musicians as can Brookville. W. G.

The Park hotel in Punxsutawney will close Its doors on April 1st, the reason given by the proprietor Is that he cannot run It at a profit without license.

It will have to be furnished in the new throughout, everything having been disposed of by the late proprietor. It will probably be three weeks before it will be open to the public. The soft coal miners and operators of Pennsylvania are having a hard time reaching an agreemept. They have now been at work for more than a month on a wage scale and are no nearer an agreement than when they started.

It seems strange that there has to bean adjustment of wages every year. One side or the other is certainly unreasonable in their demands. The fellows who have been howling about the President's policy in regard to Mexico have now an opportunity to show their patriotism, their good red blood, and become heroes. They no doubt will break their necks falling over one another to see who can get to the front first; and of course the Americans who have large interests in Mexico will be found in the front ranks N.

Inquire of PHILIP BROSIUS, ErdicP! years, shot and killed William Haines, at a deep cut on the Shawmut railroad, about a mile and a half from Sprankle Mills.

It seems the murder was committed at the request of Haines' son, Ernest. Young Haines wanted to go West but bad no money. His father bad quite a sum that he carried In bis pocket. The amount was about $250. Tuesday afternoon young Haines went to see Mottern, whom he met in the blacksmith shop at Sprankle Mills, saying when be met him there that he wanted a favor done.

Mottern asked him what it was, when young Haines said he wanted to go West next Monday, but had no money; that bis father had a lot of money that he carried with him; that he wanted Mottern to kill his father, and he would pay him well for doing so. Mottern agreed, and they proceeded to arrange bow the killing was to be done. Mottern was to go to the head of the cut on the railroad that night, and Haines would meet him there. He went as arranged and met young Haines there, who had a shotgun and some shells. Haines said his father would pass through the cut, on the railroad track, between 12 and 1 o'clock the next day, Wednesday, when Mottern was to be there and shoot him.

Mot-' tern was not to touch the body, but to allow it to remain on the railroad track where young Haines would find It, and take the money from his father's pockets, after which they were to meet at an abandoned pump station, on the railroad, where they would "settle up At the conclusion of the interview they hid the shotgun, in an old pine tree, where it remained until Mottern came to use it the next day. Everything was carried out as arranged. Mottern went to the designated place at 12 o'clock Wednesday. Less than an hour later Haines came -along and young Mottern shot him. After Mottdrn had killed Haines, having fired two shots at him, he went back to Sprankle Mills, going a roundabout way to get there.

There being snow on the ground his tracks were seen nearly all the way. He crossed a run on his way, into which he threw the gun. He spent a good part of the afternoon in the store and blacksmith shop. He met young Haines there and they had some conversation together. In the evening he left and went to the pump station, where Haines gave him part of the money taken from the dead man's person.

Haines' body was found on the railroad track by Albert Taylor, Wednesday afternoon or evening. The murder occurred aboutamile from Mr. Haines' house. Only 20 cents' was found on the body of the $250 he was known to have. Search for the murderer was begun at once by the State police.

They soon arrested Mottern, who bad been spending money freely, but could give no satisfactory account of where he got it. He denied all knowledge of the murder, but told the police young Haines knew all about it. Haines' arrest soon followed, but he denied knowing anything about the crime. Both young men were taken to Punxsutawney, where they bad a hearing on Wednesday and were committed to the county jail, where they are now confined, awaiting trial at the April term of criminal court. In an interview with District Attorney Long, Mottern told the whole story of the murder.

What is given below was told in the presence of witnesses and put in writing. Before it was all written down, an attorney employed to defend the prisoners, appeared, and directed young Mottern to say no more. This is the confession as far as written: "On Tuesday afternoon Ernest Haines, whom I have known all my life, came to me in the blacksmith shop at Sprankle Mill. "I want you to do me a favor," he said. I asked him what It was.

"I want to go" West Monday and I'm broke. My father has a lot of money on him and I want you to kill him and I'll pay you well for it. I agreed and be told me to come to the head of the cut on the Shawmut Railroad that night. "I went and met him there. He had a shotgun and two shells, which we hid in a pine tree.

He told me that bis father would be along the railroad track between 12 and 1 o'clock the next day and for me to wait for him and shoot him. "The next day at 12 o'clock I went to where the gun was hidden and about 45 minutes later Mr. Haines came along and I shot him." Mrs. A. F.

First of these In numbers and importance, perhaps, is the San Carlo Grand Opera Company, the great singing organization which, under the direction of Impresario Fortune Gallo, made a tour of leading American cities during the past winter. Another musical attraction extraordinary is Leonid Samaloff, the noted Russian tenor, who appeared in the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company with such stars as Caruso, Amlto, Schumann-Helnk, Alda and others.

Equally Important, from another standpoint, Is the announcement that among the lecturers will be heard none other than Ida Tarbell, perhaps the world's most famous woman publicist Miss Tarbell has, until this time, persistently refused to appear upon the platform, and has finally yielded to entreaties only because she has in her new theme of "Industrial Idealism" something of unusual moment which she desires to bring to Chautauqua audiences. The fourth exceptional announcement is that concerning the appearance of Dr. James Whitcomb Brougher, the brilliant California preacher who, as the successor of Burdette, at the Temple Baptist church, LosAngeles, has made himself a marked man in the pulpits of America. The fifth feature attraction is none other than the youthful and brilliant Glenn Frank, lecturer extraordinary formerly of Northwestern University, now doing Important industrial and sociological planning in Boston. His new lecture, "The Spell of the Immediate," will be heard with wonder, especially by the men.

The sixth feature emphasized by Mr, Coleman is Dr. Chas. S. Medbury, of DesMoines, said to be the foremost Disciple preacher in America. There are extraordinary possibilities in the 1916 Chautauqua program, surely, judged by these headline an nouncements, and we are given assurance that the balance of the pro gram will measure up in every way.

Mrs. Benjamin Sowers. Mrs. Elizabeth Shaffer Sowert, the daughter of Solomon Shaffer and wife, nee Wonderling, died at her home in Beaver township, March 23, 1916, aged 63 years, 6 months and 21 flays. She was born in Beaver township August 1852.

Monday and Tuesday saw the highest water that Brookville has had for several years, the flood reaching a seven foot stage. The fair grounds were inundated and the flat where the Belvedere Opera Houses tands was covered, as was also the railroad siding along the North Fork creek opposite the Brookville Brewery. No particular damage was done outside of the washing away of a part of the race track at the fair grounds and the demolishing of the fence in some places. The flood reached its highest stage some time Monday night but the cold wind of Tuesday caused the water to fall rapidly. The new Auditorium building at the fair grounds was entirely surrounded by the flood but not deep enough to cause any damage.
