Summit Chautauqua Association Miss C. E. Cash, of Pittsburgh, is in Monongahela in an effort to interest local people in a Summer Chautauqua Association for the coming summer. It is the desire of the company which Miss Cash represents to place a Chautauqua entertainment in Monongahela for one week in. August Tbe course would consist of some of tbe most celebrated entertainers on the stage today and would include such numbers as Kryl's Band of thirty five pieces, Bergen Marx, Ben Greet players, Gov.

Folk and Adam. Bede in debate. There would also be other numbers. If the associati is formed here the company will bring their own large tent with a seating capacity of 3000 and would give Monongahela one of the best week's of entertainment in its history. It is necessary, however, to sell 1000 tickets' at $2.00 each before the enter tainment could be secured.

This ticket would entitle the holder to all the num bers during the week. The idea is being proposed to various people in town and it is expected that it will be successful here. In advent that it should, Monongahela would be on the western circuit with Butler, Washing ton, New Wilmington and other places Mrs. Edward Baker last evening in honor ot her little son Lawrence who celebrated his seventh birthday anniveisary yesterday sixteen little folk were present from New Eagle and all enjoyed the games and amusements which were planned by the hostess. Refreshments were served.

Many gifts were received as remembrances for tbe pleasant evening. The councilmanic committee compos ed of Messrs. Anders, McElhatten and Marshall, went to Cbarieroi last night to confer with superintendent Buchan an of the Pittsburgh Railways Company relative to the street car to carry the children of the First ward to and from school during the improvement now under way in that section. Mr. Buchanan gave the committee every encouragement possible and stated that he thought it was excellent move.

He felt, however, that he could not give a definite answer but would have to take the matter up with the Pitts burgh headquarters. He felt, however that there would be no trouble about securing the much desired school car. A daring robbery was pulled off in Monessen early Wednesday morning which resulted in a heavy loss to J. Layman Son of Schoonmaker avenue that place. According to cne of the proprietors, Mr.

Layman, he heard the robbers at work. That there were two of them he has no doubt as he is under the impression that it required one to watch, while the other did the work But there are men who are willing and have accomplished more difficult tasks than this, by their lonesome has been demonstrated repeatedly only in the last week. The proprietors have apartments htted up in the rear of the store in which they sleep. Tuesday night they saw that everything was secure as usual and paid particular attention to the closing as a suspicious character had been in the store room in the afternoon. They slept soundly in the early part of the night.

Tuesday morn ing between four and five o'clock the younger man was awakened by tne sound of falling glass, but as the people who reside across the street go to work early he paid no attention to the matter, and as no further nois out of the ordinary was heard, be re sumed his sleep. This morning when the store was opened, nothing: unusual was noticed and no thought of robbery entered their mind until they went to the window for some article on dis play. A great ragged hole in the window was the first thing that caught their eves and quickly the display was scanned. Everything within quick reach of an arm extending through the hole was missing, the loss amounting to over two hundred dollars. It was a daring piece of work, and the theory is advanced that a suspicious character, who was arrested yesterday by Officer Lang, and is now confined in the borough lockup, is directly con cerned in the case and an effort is being made to find his partner, as it is said several saw the prisoner with another man, whose whereabouts could not be learned when he was arrested Suspicion was first directed towards him in the stne that was robbed, Wednesday morning and an officer was called.

Officer Lang responded and began a search of the man. fiA clock dropped out from under his coat to the floor, which Layman claimed belonged to the store. A further search re vealed a variety of articles on the man, a sweater, pair of gloves, knife, watch fob, looking glass, a ri and a hook. Rice and Gorman later identified the sweater as one taken from their store and said the man was in there during the day. When arrested he told sever al stories which conflicted.

He said he lived at Belle Vernon. Later lie said he lived in Monessen. He also claimed that he lived in Pittsburgh and had wife and five children. He said his name was John Miser and lived at Twentieth' street. Belle Vernon.

We is a big six foot foreigner, light hair, blue eyes and looks like a tough character. Search is being made for his partner. Married in Mttsburgh Today In Pittsburgh today will occur the marriage of Miss Laura Barrenger and Conrad Kelling both of this city. They will make their home in Newell, where the groom is employed at the P. L.

E. Railroad. The bri le is the daughter of Mrs. Ida Barrenger and has been a resident of Monongahela all her life. in a cutting attray across the river on Tuesday night, Charles Bowden sustained a serious cut in his arm which required a dozen or more stitches to close.

The wound was about ten in ches long. Crawford Sarver is said to have inflicted the wound and though a search has been made for him he has disappeared and the officers cannot lo cate him. FUL HEBE The Monongahela poatoffice is certainly exemplifying the success of the Parcel Post system, which was put into effect throughout the United States on January 1st The local office is showing that the system is needed and is being used by many persons, The records at the local office are perhaps the largest of any town the size of Monongahela in this end of the state. It far surpasses the reports from Washington, Charleroi, Donora, Mone3sen and other towns of similar size. Postmaster Parkinson force during the first week of the system handled a total of 980 packages which was the record for this section.

That record.has been far surpassed the second week as the following figures. will show. The total incoming packages at the local office for the two weeks which have elapsed since the system was inaugurated is 1323 packages. These packages were of an average weight of one and one-half pounds. The total number of out going packages for the two weeks is 2S36 packages.

These are of average weight of one pound. The total amount of postage on the out going packages for the two weeks is $124, 75. This means that in the two weeks just past 41ft packages sent by parcel post have been handled at the office. If this present avalanche of businees coutinues, which is expected to do, extra help will have to be put on at the local office to take care of the parcel post business. Postmaster Parkinson and his corps are handling the work remarkably well and are to be congratulated upon their success thus far.

Surprise Miscellaneous Shower. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Burns, in Gregg street, last night a miscellaneous shower was held for Mr. and Mrs.

Alexander Kennedy whose marriage was an event of a short time ago. The affair was arranged as a sur- prise and upward of fifty guests were in attendance during the evening. Mr. and 'rs. Kennedy were enticed down street and when they returned home it was to find the guests assembled.

The visitors did not come empty handed, either, for the honor ones were the recipients of many handsome articles for their new home, both useful and ornamental. The surprise was complete but Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy soon made all feel at home and a most delightful evening was spent in music and cards. At the conclusion Mrs.

Burns and Mrs. Benjamin France served refreshments Dinner and Fancy Work Party Miss Clara Calhourn will entertain with a six o'clock dinner tomorrow evening at ber home in Allegheny. The guests will include Mrs. Charles A. Bentley the Misses Jane and Belle Williams.
