Sallie Ferguson was arrested by Constable Kreider last evening on the charge of adultery preferred against her by her husband, William Ferguson. John A. Brown was also arrested on the same charge. All three are colored people. Ferguson served a term in the penitentiary and while there it is alleged made threats in regard to his wile.

Hearing of these threats Mrs. Ferguson swore out a warrant for her absent husband's arrest as soon as he had put in the required time at the prison. When he got out and came home his wife notified Constable Kreider not to arrest him. Brown, however, soon became a bone of contention between the Fergusons and they began quarreling. Miu Ferguson had her husband arrested for assault and battery and he in turn had his wife and Brown put in the lock-up on the charge mentioned.

Ferguson had a hearing last evening before Alderman Stephens and was held for court in the sum of His wife and Brown are in the lockup. Died of Consumption. Miss Ida Louise Shellenberger, wife of J. E. Shellenberger, died of consumption at the home of her parents, Mr.

She came with her parents to this city about twelve years ago and was married here March 11), 18i)l. Her husband and one child survive her, beside her parents and these brothers and sisters: Walter, Mrs. Lilly M. Slogenhop, and the Misses Maggie, Iola and Edith Gearhart, all of this city. The deceased was an estimable young lady.

She had intended to unite with the Brethren (Dunkard) church, but ill health prevented the accomplishment of her purpose. The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon, services to be conducted at the house; interment in Oak Ridge cemetery.

It is to bo hoped the improvement will continue. Iowa has been storm-swept once more. The hills about us are a shield and bulwark, protecting us from such tragedies as have desolated Iowa and other prairie slates.

Having "stirred up" the animals, to the intense amusement of the public, the TmnuNK now turns to other and more serious occupations. One cannot amuse oneself all the time. Tiik judges who have been hearing the evidence in the Indiana county judicial contest will render their report in a day or two. The candidate whose friends happened to do the least cheating will probably be declared elected. It would bo better if the office were declared vacant and a new election ordered.

With its issue of Thursday the Indiana Democrat entered upon its thirty-fourth volume, showing evidence still of youthful vigor and prosperity. The is a weekly newspaper, is fairly up to the both as to editorial and mechanical makeup, and aside from its democratic politics we wish it continued success. There is reason to believe that the hard times will gradually disappear, provided the speculators can be kept within any sort of bounds, and provided also that the working people and their employers can be persuaded to treat each other with proper respect and mutual confidence. Men should call their common sense into requisition. And they should not encourage vicious financial projects.

The Lebanon county wife-murderer is becoming concerned about the future, expressing a desire to make such preparations as will enable him to have a better time in the next world than he has had in this one. Without any personal knowledge of the man's history, it would be improper to suggest that whatever of ill has come to him has been his own work, but it is almost universally true that every man makes his own life-history. The "hold up" on the street car line, duly reported in yesterday morning's papers, was the figment of one practical joker's brain. He told the story "for fun," but it was no fun to the patrolmen who turned out promptly in the hope of arresting the alleged highwaymen. Quite properly the street car company continued the joke yesterday by discharging the humorous individual who allowed his imagination to run awav with his good sense.

That first class American newspaper, the Chicago Record, is sending to China and Japan Mr. William E. Curtis, well known on account of his writings concerning South America, who will report on the trade conditions of these countries and the opportunities offered for the development of American commerce. Mr. Curtis sails from San Francisco to-day, and his letters and telegrams, which will begin about June 1, promise to be of great value.

The Chicago Record protests against the ridiculous caricatures which various rampant advocates of free coinage are printing, with intent to bring the "gold bug" into ridicule, and the equally ob jectionable ones which the gold standard people are producing in depreciation of the free coinage advocates. The Record declares that "the press of the country ought to treat the financial question with the seriousness it merits and which the people have the right to expect and demand." The Record is right. The antics of a clown may be diverting at times, but not when a serious national crisis is impending. The concert which will be held in the Second Lutheran church on Tuesday evening, May 14, for the benefit of the Rescue Mission should, attract widespread attention and receive a liberal patronage. The Rescue Mission is one of several institutions in this town which deserve a hearty support from every man or woman who wants to see the race bettered.

No good thing can be conducted in this world without money. The Rescue Mission must have money if it is to continue its useful work. At the coming concert an opportunity will be afforded to listen to an enjoyable entertainment and at the same time do a good deed. No such chance should be neglected. BELLWOOD BBIEFS.

DEKN PITOAIHN, Proprietors, 1110 Twelfth Street, Altoona, Pa. ALTOONA, MAY 4, 181)5. GETHSEMANE: A MEDITATION. Thi) millions who attend the Sunday schools of Protestant Christendom tomorrow will nearly all study that passage of Scripture which deals with the famous scene of mental anguish that has given to the word Getlisemane a peculiarly sacred meaning in Christian ears. They will go down with the Son of Man into the darkness and the solitude of that garden.

Imagination, assisted by the written word, will aid in recalling the sorrow and the anguish of that long night, especially if they have reached that time of life when the grief of life begins to overbalance its joys. To those who have anything like an adequate idea of the inner meaning of that midnight incident Getlisemane assumes a sacred aspect. They regret that it was necessary, and yet they are glad that its material facts were recorded. For when a man is passing through the floods it is a comfort to remember that the Son of Man, the perfect flower and fruit of human nature, went through the same ordeal, not only because he was the sin-bearer, but also that thereby and therein he might cheer all after-comers in the midst of their darkness and torture. The boys and girls who will constitute the bulk of the students of this Scripture to-morrow will not be able to comprehend its full significance, because they do not comprehend the full significance of life.

They have their own trials and privations, it is true, but the sorrows of the average American child who attends Sunday school and studies the Bible are not apt to be very sharp or very serious. Occasionally one encounters a sombre-minded child, but the tendency of normal childhood is to joyousness. It reminds one of an April smiles, now tears, now a blending of both. But the heart of childhood is unfurrowed by the plow of experience; hence its inability to understand the scene in Getlisemane. The competent teacher will discuss this subject with a delicate re serve, and with a reverence and earnestness befitting the theme.

He will endeavor to awaken interest by appealing to the imagination, which in the child is generally vivid and responsive, drawing such a word picture of the scene and, of its central figure as will arouse and concentrate attention while it creates within the mind and heart some appreciation of its meaning. iTo illuminate the scripture so that it shall seem to the child a real event is a difficult art unless one be filled with a sympathetic and penetrating enthusiasm. One cannot teach unless one has experience and insight. Hence the limitations by which the young teacher or the one who has a cold heart is surrounded. There conies a period in almost every human life when it encounters its personal Getlisemane.

Few men who have reached the half century mark have made the journey without having experienced sorrows and bereavements that have given to the word Getlisemane a meaning it never had before. "Since my dear friend, with whom I was associated nearly every day of my life, has left me for the invisible world," remarked a gentleman no longer ago than yesterday, and his eyes were suffused with tears as he spoke, "since my dear friend has vanished from my sight this has seemed a different world to me." This is the experience of many. And some have been suddenly stricken dumb by an unexpected and grievous calamity. The night lias descended upon them; they have felt that never was grief like their grief; they have been isolate and apart from their fellows, and this solitariness has made them understand something of the added weight which the apparent indifference of his disciples gave to the grief of the Man of Sorrows. Not that words of sympathy are lacking; in this respect the disciple is more fortunate than the Master.

But even the closest friend cannot reach the numbed heart. It must bear its own grief. Human comfort, however much appreciated, is not the balm which heals life's deepest wounds. Had there been no Gethsemane and no Calvary there would have been no Olivet. First the mental agony, then the physical humiliation, then the ascent to immortal life.

Which is a parable of human life. Forasmuch as the one perfect Man trod the rough and rugged way which led to the bloody sweat of the garden and the suffering of the cross, and through them to eternal triumph, so may other men, buffetted and scourged by misfortune, take heart of hope.

The diamond has never been in such fine condition as it is at present, and, in fact, the entire field is very much improved over those of preceding years. What an unusually bright outlook for a season of great plenty. The fruit trees, with the exception of some peach and plum trees, which have been partly and in some cases entirely killed by coatings of frozen rain, are literally covered with blossoms.

The late spring has been favorable to the fruit bearing trees, keeping back the tender buds until nearly all danger from frost has been avoided. In the wheat fields some bare spots appear where the drifted enow melted and froze, smothering the grain, but in other respects the grain is looking well, and grass holds out unusually good promises for a big crop of hay, provided we have rain very shortly.

The Eureka company hose has been in service in this borough for the past six years and during that time lias been subjected to the severest test, and has stood the test exceedingly well. A portion of this hose was burned at a conflagration in Cambria county when taken there a few years ago.

DROPPED DEAD IN A STOEE. An Elderly Resident Was Suddenly Strioken With Paralysis Last Evening. Martin L. Longenecker, an aged and respectable citizen of Altoona, dropped dead in a grocery store last night shortly after p. Mr.

Longenecker resided at 2613 Fifth avenue, and with his adopted daughter, Miss Carrie Kurtz, had gone to the store of Willis Hoover, at Seventh avenue and Twenty-fifth street, to buy groceries. He had just given the clerk his order when he suddenly fell forward without warning. He was near the counter and grasped it as he fell. He, however, kept his hold only a short-time and soon sank to the floor where he expired five minutes afterwards. The policeman in that vicinity sent word to the mayor's office of the occurrence and the patrol wagon, with Lieutenant Weakland, Sergeant Gibbons and Nurse Andrew Peters, of the hospital, on board, was soon at the scene of the death.

The wagon was driven to the The Largest and Best Agency in the City.
