T. Hazelbaker was next visited und there a buggy belonging to Len Ifazelbaker was stolen, the horse hitched up and driven away.

Vox INSURANCE or REAL ESTATE ask ALIEN 406 West Main Streets Value 6f Stale COHItablefy Harrisburg, July 11-The State Police Department is forced to hold examinations every month to keep the four troops of the state's force up to the required strength. The demand for men who have been trained in the state's service on the part of the railroads and industrial corporations and mining companies is growing and hardly a week goes by without one or more resignations from the force.

The reputation of the state police has been established by the discipline and the work of the troopers and they are much desired as special policmen and guards On July 1 no less than seven men were enlisted and in August it is probable that re vacanies will occur. Fortu nately the department is never at a loss for men, there always being on file large list of applications of the verv best sort. The applications tome from all over the aountry, former regular soldiers and marines to say nothing of national guardsmen, being among those who apply. he training given is considered excellent and the men have no trouble in securing places when their terms ex pire. However, they do not wait and numerous cases have occurred in which the troopers left as soon as they had been well broken in.

In addition to railroads and other corporations the men have been taken by the Ishmian Canal Commission for the Panama po lice and for the services in the Philip pines and Porto Rico. Bids Being Submitted. Bids are being submitted of Bites for the proposed Federal building. Already it is understood, several bids have been submitted to the Supervising Architect Treasury Department, Washington C. Among the sites upon which bids have or are going to be submitted, we understand are the Eagle property' cor ner Chess and Linn alley, the old school building and th property at the corner of Chess and Fourth streets owned by John Van Voorhis and others.

Another rumor says that the old brick row and the Bentley property will be offered. A question has come up as to wheth er or not the old school property can be sold and upon advice we state that the Monongahela School Disirict can dis pose oi the property in any way it desires. The property is owned in fee by the school district and can be sold or disposed of ac its pleasure.

New Tuberculosa Cure Ltesed on Medicine Diet It -ever occur to you that the reason medical doctors have so little success in curing Tuberculosis is because they really do not practice medicine? To say that a specific exists for the cure of Conauniwion is perfoape too strong a statement, but in Bckman's Alterative we have a medicine that iiaa been the means ot saving many a Jlfe to years of useful ness and in permanently curing a large ni mber ot Consumptives. Telling every sufferer to gorge mmseii with eees and milk is apparently the limit of modern treatment. Certainly a person afflicted 'With a wasting disease should ie well fed with wholesome, nourishing food, hut frequently raw eggs in quantities cause a digestive breakdown, and then no food nourishes. As for milk, a very good food for many, but a producer ot bilious- ne38 lor some.

ft self-supporting negroes that the victory of Johnson over Jeffries will prove a misfortune to their race because it will spread the ambition of young color-I ed men to attain like ncheivements. As one of these remarked on the news of I the fight, "We don't need fighters; we need workers." On the other hand it 19 obvious that the immediate effect of the fight was to stir the animosity of the lower class of whites all over the country and, though this will doubtless, be a daseing impulse, it is so far as it goes regrettable for both races, but there is another view of the matter which will appeal to the judgement of all fair minded white men in all sections of 2the country. It is the negro. in the low arena in which he was chal lenged by the white man, has held his part with entire credit. Surrounded by a crowd among whom he had but few friends and in which there were many enemies, he was fmm the first as court eous as brave.

He performed an es sentially brutl tska in as descent man ner as was practicable, respected all the conventions and, although goaded by insults, betrayed no savagery. By the tests the white man had elected to apply the was the "better man in every sence. New York Times. Courtesy As A Business Asset The commercial value of courtesy has found an illustration in New York. The receiver for the Third avenue street car line has just announced an increase of two cents an hour in the wages of, the conductors, motormen, inspectors and starters who for fifteen months have faithfully followed his suggestion that "courtesy costs nothing." They have received their reward, and so has the company, for the line in question has really become more popular.

Conductors and motormen, who have to mingle with a miscellaneous assort ment of people, undoubtedly have much to try their patience, tor there are times when the passenger is hasty or altogether wrong in his "kick." There are many other instances in which hi 3 "kick" is legitimate, and the passenger has a right to express himself. At all events patience and courtesy disarm the most belligerent "kicker," and transportation of companies every where, like the Third avenue line in New York, will find tbeiu a paying in vestment. A soft answer not only "turneth away it filleth the exchequer. City Tax Due City Tax is now due and payable at the First National Bank. An abatement of 5 per cent will be allowed to Sept.

It is the only arm of the National Guar 1 in Pittsburg to participate in the manu. vera with the regular army troops. It will not take part in the regular division encampment to be held at the same place next month. While at Gettysburg, the Pennsylvania troops will be under the command of Brig. -Gen.

C. B. Daugherty, of the Third Brigade. The tram which took the battery to the camp was made up of three coaches, one baggage car and four flat cars, containing the equipment. The train was in charge of W.

A series of experiments to find a jad ma erial which will stand the wear and tear of automobile traffic is just now engaging the attention of the State Highway Department and half a dozen roads have been treated with substances in the vicinity of Harrisburg. Highway Commissioner Joseph W.

Hunter and his deputy R. D. Benan, are personally observing these tests and reports will be made on them soon. Two or three experiments were begun in the summer of 1908, and the materials may be used for some construction under direction of the state authorities in other counties. Aaphaltic oils have been used with screened stone andjhave pioved advantageous, especially in avoiding dust, while a by-product of wood pulp has also been employed, al- though it has been so recent that practical results have not yet been obtained.

The cost of the methods is about one- fourth as high as ordinary macadam construction, but if the roads will stand up under the automobile traffic it is contended the money will be well spent. Armories in Other (owns The Uniontown standard urges the citizens to subscribe to an armory fund and procure the erection of a suitable armory. The proposition is a good one. Con-nellsville put it into execution several years ago. Connellsville Courier.

Monongahela people will be called upon to take this matter up soon and it is hoped that all citizens will enlist in the movement. With the Federal building an assured thing we should now turn to a campaign for the home of our citizen soldiery. Other towns, Connellsville, Mt. Pleasant, New Brighton, and many other towns are proud of their armories and there is no question but what Monongahela could get one with a still energy along that line. All that is needed is a suitablo sight and then the securing of the appropriation will be practically smooth sailing.

Purchased Blacksmith Shop This seems to be the season of many teal estate deals and today we publish another. La ken Ashcraft, heretofore employed at the J. R. Richards blacksmith shop has purchased the shop from Mr. Richards, as well as his residence in Carson street The deal has jut been consumated and Mr.

Ashcraft will take possession shortly. He will occupy the residence and will continue to conduct the business at the old stand. The consideration is not announced but we are safe in sayng it was a (rood sum. Mr. Richards contemplates removing from Monongahela shortly and will join his son William in Chicago, wheie they will enter the undertaking business together.

Mr. Richards has been numbered among Monongahela's business men for many years and though we regret his departure we wish him success. The new proprietor is capable of conducting the business and we predict success for him. Should Be no "Dull" Season The so-called "dull" season lYIargely a figment of the imagination. If there is a dull season, it is because the merchants haul in sail and rest on their oars.

Of course, it is not a good season for sleds and ear muffs, but there are other and there is iu reason why one season should be duller than unless it is because the advertising man is on his annual vacation.

Petition To Stop Pictures The Washington church people have begun a determined fight against allow-ingjthe pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries fight to be shown at the amusement re sorts in Washington. Last night a union meeting at the congrdgations of Central Presbyterian church, the Third Presbyterian church the Methodist Protestant church and the Jefferson avenue Methodist Episco pal church, a petition signed by the members of the four churches to have the pictures of the big riuht prohibited in Washington was read and will be presented to Burgess William Hoyt by the Rev.

G. Shep- Dard. oastor of the Methodist Protest ant church. After 'he service Inst night at the Jf-fferson avenue church, the petition was read to the congregation and all that were against the fight pictures Were asked to stand. The entire con ereeration that was crowded into the church arose in a body.

When intervened last night Rev. J. G. Patton, pastor of the Central Pres byterian church, said he was strongly opposed to the fight pictures being shown. "The pictures will undoubtedly have a demoralizing influence on the community," said Mr.

Patton. "They will be the cause of race animosities ev en among the children." Rev. Mr. Pat ton said that it would be the younger people who would be effected by the pictures. Rev.

A. Cole, pastor of the First Christian church, in "his pulpit yesterday morning, declared that the fight at Reno had no more to do with the trage dy at JNewark than anyone imagines. Rev. Mr. Cole said that the passions of the people, especially the sporting class had been wrought up by the Johnson- Jeffries mill and that when the trouble at Newark, 0., occurred it needed but a match to set it off.

The pictures of the hght could not hurt some people of this town, but they would have a bad influence on some of the younger ones," declared Rev. Mr, uoie. "i Deneve tnat snowing the pictures of the fight would be a greater evil than the fight itself." Record. in conversation with a daily man today practically all the local ministers declare themselves against the pictures and it is likely the Monongahela Minis terial Association will take some action similar to that of their brothers in the cbunty seat, relative to the pictures. shelf emptying wash goods An assortment 50 pieces David and John Anderson and other makes of fine 40 45c Scotch Madras Gingham stripes, checks and plaids -large a i of styles 25c a yard.
