WE CLOSE SATURDAY AT 1 P. M. Better Storekeepin We are cutting new paths; doing things different; giving you a newer, a better furniture store a store on which you can absolutely depend, no matter what the service required. Old methods are good and worth continuing only when we can find no better way. Each day's experience is useful most largely in the ability it gives us to serve you better.

We are selling good furniture furniture made to last at prices that are often no higher than those charged for the ordinary kind. This week we continue to close out the balance of our Summer stock. Several Cedar Chests re main, together with a few Willow pieces, Cretonnes, Utility Boxes and Vudor Porch Equipment. All priced for quick Joseph Goldsmith 209 Locust St. Opp.

Lyceum S3 mm "Wheat is bringing eighty cents a bvshel in Chambersburg. Indications show that wheat may reach $1.25, there Veing but a two thirds wheat crop in lcoft sections of the wheat producing country. William Shaffer, of Harrisburg. who was found on the Cumberland Valley Railroad tracks, near Carlisle, is being examined by a commission on lunacy. Kis condition is puzzling physicians; William Wells, colored, of Mercers burs, held up a white girl as she was groin from her hsme out of Mercers burg to the silk miri in which sh was employed.

Wells dema aded her money and threatened her with violence if she ould not give it to him. She was compelled to give him her pocketbook. Hurrving home, she told the story and Wells was identified by men who knew of him. He was placed in the lock up. Mrs.

Rebecca Freeman, of Tomstown, near Waynesboro, killed herself by tTking Paris green. Her husband. George Freeman, was killed a few years ago. and it is supposed that mourning over his death brought on a melanchoiv state of mind, driving her to this rash act. She is the mother of a lare family and since her husband's death has had a hard time to make ends meet.

"Here she goes, boys." said John Mcintosh, as he drained a phial of lau danum in a store at Winchester. He walked out of the store and after a few steps fell in an alley. A physician saved his life by speedy assistance. The Hagerstown Journalists' club, as the guests of the Hagerstown Rail way Company and the Chambersburg Greeneastle Electric Railway Company tcok an outing at Pen Mar. Abraham Kindle, who lives at Mt.

Zion. near Pmithsburg. was waylaid on his way home from Smithsburg. Friday night, and unmercifully beaten by two men. said to be Brinton Toms and Oeorge Pryor.

Kindle's nose was broken, eleven cuts were inflicted in his head, both ears were nearly torn from his head and several of his ribs were broken. F.morv Mummert. East Berlin, York ociii.ty, was crushed to death by an ci mi ned whihi. iuunimoi vml th rear of the wagin to manage the Xiiiikts as it was backing out of the barn, and when the wagon overturned he was crushed beneath it, dying al rnost instantly. Mrs.

H. Snyder, wife of the editor of th" Phepherdstown Register, while driving with her three children Sunday, was killed in a runaway. Becoming exi'ited she jumped from the buggy, rupturing a blood vessel, which caused her death. The children, who remained in the buggy, were A Chestnut. Ralph Waldo Emerson once told of a friend who always carried in his pocket a horse chestnut as a protection against rheumatism, just as other people wear shields and other specifics.

Emerson thus testifies to the results in his friend's case: "He has never had the rheumatism since he began to carry It, and indeed It appears to have had a retrospective operation, for he never had it before." A air id hi i TOP IK Fill The ordinance to transfer to the Mulberry street bridge construction fund of the municipal hall site fund, amounting to $31,000, was passed finally in Select Council last evening without a dissenting vote and goes today to Mayor Gioss, who will approve it. This completes the legislation necessary for construction of the bridge and gives the Board of Public Works sufficient money to construct the bridge along the lines originally intended. The contract for the building will be executed with McCorniick of Philadelphia, and both branches of Councils will meet tomorrow evening to approve the contract. This will enable the contractor to begin work this week. The Council passed finally the Ma clay street paving ordinance and' it goes to Common Council and passed on to the Mayor three water pipe ordinances for Cumberland, North and Wyeth streets.

The ordinance changing the wooden building limits was also passed, but as it was amended it must go before Common Council for concurrence. The State street paving bill was passed on first reading, but the milk ordinance and those to change grade and lines on Cameron, Fourth and Chestnut streets were allowed to go over. ORDINANCE AIMS AT EXTENSION OF SEWERS Definite steps to extend the sewers which do not reach low water mark and which are discharging filth over the river shore before reaching the stream were taken in Select Council last night, when Mr. Kiester presented an ordinance directing the Highway Commissioner to extend the drains. The ordinance, which went to the Finance Committee to fix an appropriation, specifies the sewers at Market, Muench and Mulberry streets, about which so much complaint has been made.

The idea is to do the work in the same manner as was done with other sewers several years ago. At that time these drains were overlooked, but owing to the increase of drainage they have become menaces to health. Mr. McCarthy presented ordinances for the vacation of Monroe street, from Boas to Forster, and a portion of Boas street from the city map. The ordinances were accompanied by petitions signed by the Central Pennsylvania Traction Company, owner of most of the abutting property.

The streets run through the traction company's property and the city XEW MILK INSPECTION' BILL Select Councilman Bacon said last evening that he would redraft the milk inspection bill and it will be amended in Councils to conform entirely with the State laws. This will be done at an early day. PAXTAXG PARK A pleasing bill was given last evening at the Paxtang Park Theatre. The acts Were well selected and offered a decided amount of variety. Mr.

and Mrs. Cal Stewart were given a warm welcome as they are favorites with local theatregoers. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart presented a rural comedy that gave them full scope for their powers as delineators of this phase of stage creations.

Martz in a comedy juggling act won many laughs as well as showing himself to be a dexterous balancer, and Miss Louise Campbell in ballads and popular songs used a beautiful voice to good advantage. The Hallbacks, colored singers and dancers, were pleasing. La Rues offered a ring act that proved one of the novel features of the performance. The bill will be repeated all week with matinees Thursday, Friday and Saturday. There is a growing sentiment that temper ance is surest and best promoted by the use of Pabst Blue Ribbon, which contains less than 354 of alcohol.

The use of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer satisfies the natural desire for a mild stimulant without creating a habit for strong drink. In countries where the most beer is consumed, intemperance is rarest. PabstBlueRi bbon The Beer of Quality is so rich in the food values of Pabst Eight Day Malt, and in the tonic properties of the choicest hops, that it is a genuine health builder. The system frequently requires a mild stimulant, which is supplied by the small percentage of alcohol which produces no injurious eriects. lne extractives of malt and hops aid the digestion and soothe the nerves, making Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer the ideal temperance drink.

When ordering beer, ask for Pabst Blue Ribbon. Made by Pabst at Milwaukee And Botted only at the Brewery. Chas. P. Osier, 1301 X.
