Harry C. Beerits is the third good lady of this town to suffer from broken wrist this winter. She slipped on the ice covered pavement on Turkeyfoot street, Monday evening, and in falling broke her left wrist. This will be the first term of court for many years at which the Sheriff of the conn. ty has not exposed a single tract real estate to public sale.

Several writs were placed in the Sheriff's hands but all have either been satisfied or stayed. The citizens of Falton county, the only county in the state without a railroad within its limits, are talking of building an electrie line over the mountain into Frauklin county, where a connection can be made with the Cumberland Valley R. R. The indications are that next week's court will attract a very small crowd. District Attorney Colborn has between twenty and thirty criminal cases to lay before the grand jury, only one which, an action for perjary, will consume more than two or three hours in being tried.

Campbell, a broker of Pittsburg, bad a branch office there and had been doing a good business, but the deal in November corn caught them badly and they squealed.

The above will be welcome news to his bondreds of friends throughout the county as it has proven to be to those at home.

Mr. T. J. Picking took his departure this afternoon for Somerset. On Monday be will proceed to Terra Alta, W.

Riggs, Terre Alta, will be united in marriage, after which they will take a trip to the eastern ceties, arriving in Johnstown about December 20th. They will remain here a few days and then proceed to Terra Alta, where they wilt reside, and where Mr. Picking bas obtained an interest in a woolen mill now owned by the bride's father. Jeff will be missed from Johnstown.

He bas been a popular resident here for several years, and will carry with him to his new home the best wishes of all who know him -Johnstown Tribune. People living in vicinity of Lavans- ville, four miles west this place, were shocked Saturday afternoon on learning that Mrs. Countryman, widow the late Jacob Countryman, bad been found dead the yard in front of her door. Mrs. Coantry it in the house, and is preman was alone sumed that she felt a sickness suddenly com for ing upon her and went the yard the purpose of ringing the farm bell in order summon her son, who was at work a field some distance from the house.

Neighbors answered the bell, arriving at the house before the son and found the unforianate woman lying ground. She had expired before assistance reached her. Mrs. Countryman was about gears age and of was highly esteemed by all her neighbors. Friday night thieves entered the home of Harry Boyts, a venerable farmer, residing on the Johnstown pike two and one-balf miles north of town, and stole $50.00.

The bouse was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Boyts and a little girl, and think they must have been dragged or otherwise they would have heard thieves, who first raised a reer window and removed a number flower pots from the window sill, and then finding that they could enter the bouse. through the window went the front the building where they found it an easy matter to open the front door by one the ras- cais inserting his arm through broken window pane adjoining the door and unbolting the lock. In morning all the of the drawers and closets in the house were found and their contents scattered promisopen aroand the A wallet, containcaously ing $50 00, and which had been concealed belind a looking glass, was the only thing that was missing.

No one would need take water from a stock company unless they wanted it, and were willing to pay for it. It would not crease their taxes, and they would bave bonded indebtedness.

If a stock company expected to make anything they would bare to make their rates within the reach everybody. But laying all this aside, I think the stock company talk is all a bluff. I don't believe such a thing has ever been thought of, and I don't believe that it would pay per cent. on the investment." But suppose the borough does build the works and our taxes are said the squint man, look at the redaction we would get in our insurance rates. I am told that insurance rates in Meyersdale have been reduced at least 17 per cent." Ho, ho, ho croaked the cracker- barrel man.

The entire yearly insurance premiums in Meyersdale amounts to about $5,000, in round numbers. The reduction in premi ams since they bave bad water, is about $750. The great Metropolis" of the county pays $500 a year for the fire protection the water works afford, so the actual saving to the taxpayers who carry insurance is properly the rifference between $750 and $500, or 8250, and the per cent of reduction is properly in the relation that 250 stands to 5,000. Now can you figure 17 per cent. out of that And netwithstanding her water works, insurance rates are higher at Meyersdale to-day than they are in Somersrt.

We bave a superior class of buildings, is the reason. We can't ask for a much lower rate of insurance in this town than we have at present. think the insurance agents wilt bear me out in the assertion that the average rate in this town is one-balf per cent. per year, or $5.00 on the "Now. if you all keep quiet for a minute," said the sawed-off man, "I'd like to give you the water rates as assessed in 8 town where the municipality owns the water works." answered all bands, as soon as they had emptied their mouths of tobacco spit.

The sawed off man drew a small pamphlet from his pocket and began to read: Dwelling houses (5 rooms or 8.00 00 Barber shop (1 chair). 6.00 Bath 5.00 Blacksmith shop (1 5.00 Butcher 10.00 Drinking saloon. 30.00 Faring saloon 30 00 Fountain flowing 6 hours per day during to 45 00 Filling private cisterns, each 1.00 Hotels and boarding houses, first ten rooms. 20.00 Each additional room 1 00 Street sprinkling, 25 feet or less, including washing store fronts. 5 00 Sprinkling lawn.

I should guess not." said the cracker barrel man.

Only a few families over there have more than one spigot, and no matter bow much water they consume the cost is the same- $6.00 for the first spigot and $1.00 for each additional one. While I've got the floor I want to say thisand I know what I am talking about, too. Meyersdale water stock has never drawn a dividend exceeding 6 per cent. The company base wisely created a reserve fund with which to meet accidents and extend and improve their plant. If the borough owned the works they would have to levy an additional tax to meet everything of this kind.

But what's the use talking? It seems that all these water people would rather have the tax collector come around once a year and say your water tax is so-and-so, and your additional tax for water repairs is so-and-so-much more, to knowing for a dead certainty that their water will cost them so much a year, and if they don't want it they don't need to pay for it. Now look-ee here, Mr. said the man wearing one gam boot, have to call you down on statement you made awhile ago, and give you a mite of cheese to nibble at in retarn. You said the academy building cost over $11,000. Now, you know that isn't true, and that it only cost between $7,000 and 88,000, and what's the sense in luggin' the school question in with the water works I'll answer your last question first, re, plied the cracker barrel man, as be helped himself to a wad of Sailor's Joy." I did that imply to illustrate how our taxes are increasing.

Perbaps the academy build ing only did cost $8,000, but a handsome fence was put around the entire square, a beater was put in the building, a well dug on the lot, down almost to China, and from which it is almost impossible to get a of water, because it was dug three times as deep as it should have been. The whole square is covered with trees and shrubbery, planted so close together that they can't grow, and several other items of expense have swelled the original cost $3.000 or 84.000. I know that I have been paying building tax for years, and that the debt has not been diminished, and I'd like to know by what authority that money bas been turned over to employing new teachers these matters ought to be all set right, so that the taxpayers may know just where they stand before they assume a $27 000 debt for water works." I'm opposed to bonding the borough for water works," said the property owner look ing for a job, because my taxes are already too high, and the unjustness of this election is bothering me a good bit, but I don't see how it is to be avoided. The fellows who are loudest for water are fellows who own no property, and pay no taxes. What right have they to vote taxes on me? Then, again, there are a number of people temporarily residing in this town, who want to vote a Nater tax on us property owners.

By what method of reasoning should they be permitted to rote on this question? And again, large percentage of the taxable real estate in Somerset is owned by women, who will have no right to vote on the question, but who will have to bear the burden of increased taxation, simply because lot of non-residents and non-taxpayers want, as they say all the comiorts of Well put, well pat, indeed!" said Whiskers, choking in a wild attempt to revive the slumbering spark in his toby. These fellows may have a legal right to cast their Pures on this question, but what moral right have ibey. I like to know Do unto others as you would be done by," poked in the cracker-barrel man, "even if it is to curtail the tabie of a widow, aud place a martgage on her bume for the sake of a pleasure you will never enjoy." is a preposterons idea," said the is yer, for the peuple of this town to vote an indebiness of 827,000 and then place it al the disposal of the burgess and town council to expend as they see fit. Why can't they make a statement over their own signatures suowing what they have done what reasons they have for thinking that a water system can be introduced trot that abominable mud bole, Kimberly run. Talk about a few interested parties antagonizing scheme through selfish motives.

Bab! the peuple who pay the tases are the persons who are most interested and I would cau tion them to look well to their interests when they Tote on this question. A number o1 plans have been suggested, any one of which I regard as feasible, but the torn council refuse to consider them, while we are asked to authorize them to create an indebtedness of large dimensions withont knowing what system will be adopted. Let the voters look at this as basiness men and there will be no doubt as to the result of the ballots." "Yes, bat you are against progress," said the boom-town man.

M. FEEDIELL Co. An Impracticable Law-Great Complaint Against It. The impracticable regietry law passed by the last Legislature provided for two registrations each year. One of these registrations is begun in May, and completed in September.

The other is begun on the first Monday in December and completed the following week. Accordingly, the Assessors of Somerset county began the week of taking a new registry of roters for the February election, on Monday. Next Monday, December 14th, the law requires the Assessors to hang one completed list of voters at the polls, and to return a duplicate list to the County Commissioners' office. The Assessor sits at the polls on the following Wednesday and Thursday, December 16th and 17tb, between the bours of 10 a. and p.

and 6 p. and 9 p. to register those who are legally entitled to be registered On the day following Friday, December 18th, the As sessor makes final return to the office of the County Commissioner. Great complaint is justly made against the provisions of the new law. It is a physical impossibility for any man to do the work required in the time given in nearly all of the rural districts of Somerset county.

The law is crude and impracticable, not to say absurd, and besides a heavy and useless expense. The sooner the legislature redeems itself by repealing this registry act, the better. A Pointer To those who are studying what to bay for Christmas gifts we would suggest a few things for your mother, wife, daughter, sister or sweet-beart, a family bible, hand bible, photograph album, some good books or set of books, toilet case, manicure set, work-box or basket. Christmas card or art noveltie parse, mirror, music roll or star.d, ink stand, easel or a nice steel engraving, etching, pasted water color, oil painting or chrome, as nothing makes a room look more cheerfal than a nice picture. For the gentiemen a shaving set, smoking set, traveling case, cuff and collar box, pens, or a fountain pen.

For the children, toy books, games, drams, trumpets, sleds, doll's doll carriages: dishes, magic lanterns, steam engines, toy guns, safes, music boxes, pianos, tool chests or something in this line. All of the above and countless other articles can be had at Pritts Kantner's Book Store. Weather According to Hicks. Rev. Ira Hicks, in his paper, Worde and Works, makes the following meteorological forecast for December: the 14th the cold will relax progressively from west to east, shift at atmospheric pressure causing southerly currents and falis of rain and snow.

An energetic high barometer with cold will slip in behind these disturbances, lasting up to next regular storm period, which runs from the 19th to 24th. The calmination of Winter solstice is at this exact period, about which time very bard Winter storms are almost certainties. Prepare for them and for dangerously cold days to follow. Most parts of our continent will have cold or snow -both to the northward -at Christmas. About the 25th will come a rise in temperature, the forerunner of reactionary storms about the 26th add 27tq, with renewed cold following up to about the 30th.

On that date will fall a second new moon for also the beginning of a regular storm period which runs into January. The month will go out warmer, with storms advancing from the west. Watch and see.

The Good-Natured Warfare Con- Tonis, programs. tinues Around the Store Stove. The views expressed "around the store stove," as published in the HERALD the past two weeks, have excited not a little interest among the people of this town, and have given a new impetus to those in favor of the borough issuing bonds for the purpose of constructing water works, as well as those who are hostile to tha proposed measure. Polls of the vote of the borough are made almost daily by enthusiasts on either side, and to day both sides are claiming a majority. What's this I bear about the borough school board's indebtedness?" said the venerable gentleman with tobacco-stained beard, and then paused to adjust his false teeth which be accomplisbed by a movement of the tongue, before proceeding.

"I can't get it through my bead that the 'academy' building is not paid for don't worry about such a trifle." said the cracker-barrel man. "A debt of $4,000 or $5,000 is nothing to our school board. Why, this is one of the richest towns in the State. The prospects are that you will have another school tax elephant on your hands before the 'academy' is paid for. Some folks say that the school board have lost their score and don't really know what the school indebtedness is.

Bat that don't make any difference; we've got to bare a Dew school house next summer, and with the extra labor that will be forced upon the board, I sbouldn't be surprised if they wonld vote their secretary a salary, as I understand some wanted to do a year ago. But, as said nefore. Somerset borough is rich and can afford to pay its bills--but not as it goes. People tell me that the 'academy' cost over $11,000. Think of it! And the directors who were elected to build it were elected with a special view to the economy they would enforce.

I don't gainsay that the building is not a good one, bat there must be come defect or they wouldn't have to adjourn school every cold day. We musn't economize on our school buildings, since the State bas appropriated $5,000,000 for the improvement of our schools; bat what are our taxes going to amount to?" I guess we can bear the expense without much grumbling," said the young man with the cracked voice. "The 'academy' only cost one-balf as much as the proposed water works are to cost, and when we get water the surplus revenue derived from that source will relieve us from all other of borough taxation. Give us water, and let us bare a taste of the pleasure Meyersdale enjoys." haven't taken any part in this dispute," ssid a gray-bearded gentleman from the west ward, "but if there is a man in town who has reason to vote for water it is me. The well at my place has been dry as a powderborn for at least three months.

I ain of the opinion that a town meeting should be ed st which this question can be discussed by the people whom the introdaction of water will directly affect. I have labored all my life in order to buy a little property, and if a meeting is called I want to make a few remarks. It is claimed that this election is to be held merely for the purpose of getting an expression from the voters as to whether they are willing to bond the borough for the purpose of introducing water, and will be in no sense an endorsement of the Kimberly run scheme. That's all well enough; but it means a dogged on sight more than that. If water carries, it will wean that the people of this borough bave empowered their burgess and town council to accept any proposition that they choose and to issue bonds to the amount of $27.000 to pay for it.

That's what it means, and can't mean anything else. I haven't a complaint to utter against the present borough officers and believe that they are acting in perfect good faith, but in considering this subject it must be remembered that we will elect a new burgess and one member of the town council in February, and who is to say what views they will bold on the water works question No, sir-ee let's know what scheme were voting for when we go to the polls, and don't let's saddie ourself with a debt before we know what t's for." a view of the case I never heard of before," said the nail-keg man, as be opened the stove-door and drew out a hot poker and applied it to the end of his toby. "As a matter of course, the town council and burgess are committed to the Kimberly ran scheme. Didn't they have the engineer come here and make a survey, and when his estimate of $40,000 was considered too high, didn't they have him come back again and go over the ground a second time and obtain an estimate at one-third less cost? If water can be brought from Kimberly run, that's where it will be broughtt from, and don't you forget it. The town authorities, so far as I can learn, refase to consider any other method." that can't be true!" said whi kers, after be bad lauded a worn out chew in the centre of the puddle of tobacco spit in front of him.

These men certainly baren't concluded to go abead and let contracts for a water supply from Kimberly ran, in event the question carries. Why, there ain't one of you fellows sittin' "round this stove that don't know that that water isn't fit to drink Why, that water drains through a swamp of black mad for miles, and is never fit to drink unless during bigh water If you don't believe me, ask some of the older men who bave traveled around Kimberly run. Another thing, and I'll stake my life on it there ain't water enough in that creek to sapply the town. You all know that Dave Casebeer can only run his saw mill for about three months in the year, because he can't get enough water. Pshaw! talk to somebody else about that creek furnishing water for Somerset.

I know a blamed sight better." Taxes is pretty high in this town now." said bow legs, and I don's know but thst will bave to be exonerated next year; but something must be done to improve the sanitary condition of Somerset. There will be some interesting developments in regard to this matter at next term of court, when a number of property owners will have to answer for maintaining a nuisance. Something's got to be done to improve the sanitary condition of our town, and if water will do it, why, let's have it, no matter how high the taxes go, or bow soon our homes are sold for taxes." Well, I am surprised at such a speech coming from you said the cracker-barrel man snapping his jack-knife shut, after having finished picking his teeth with the long blade. Do you really suppose that the introduction of water will relieve the fool condition of the gutters, drains and sinks of this town? That's too ab-ard 10 talk about Think for a moment, and then tell me what is to bee me of the water that will be used by the people on the bill You know the condition of the gutters in the East and West wards now, and what will they be after water in introduced Sewerage is what the town wants, and what it must bave, out I guss the borough is bardyi able to tackle both sewerage and water at the same time, to say nothing of a new sebool bouse." Since I have taken time to look into this water works question carefully," said spindle shanks, I have made up my mind that if a stock company wants to put in wa ter works for Somerset, they should be permitted to do so. One of the solidest men in this town told me last evening tha' be knew a party who would put in water works for as, and wouldn't ask a cent from the borough as an inducement.

Why shouldn't be be granted the franchise of the streets? Then only those people who want water need take it. It would be decidedly cheaper all around. If it afforded fire protection the borough cold pay for it, if it ranted it. This would give Somerset people water as chesp as Meyersdale gets it, and that appears to be the point the water folks are fighting for. Let a stock company fainish the water, and the borough will have as much as it can do to pat in sewers." I'm opposed to stock company," said the boom town man, and think it would be the greatest mistake this town could make to grant a franchise to any person or company.

If there is one thing above another by and let all the world laugh at Somersat because her citizens lack enterprise." "Enterprise be hanged retorted the lawyer. "Here is a proposition from one offering to put in electric lights if granted franchise of the streets, without asking cent from anybody. '0b, say the powere that govern the municipality, if any thing is to be made out of electric lights the town should be the beneficiary, and in any event the wires must go Here comes another and says, "I'll pot in a system of water works if you grant me the privilege of your streets, and won't ask one cent is the reply, 'we can't place ourselves at the mercy of Talk about progress -about standing in your own light--while you are striving after impossibilities! Away with water talk makes me sick," said the shop-keeper, as he began shoveling coal into the stove and preparing the fire so that it would keep throughout the night, "and I wish all you fellows would go somewhere else to loaf, unless you can find something else to talk about." "The tariff's a tax," croaked the barrel man, "and so are poblic schools, and public roads, and all other public tions, but maybe," and he winked the other eye, "water works in Somerset will be selfsustaining, free trade, as it were." And thus the talk continues from night to night around the store stove, while the great fire within cerakles and langts at the views expressed by the sturdy citizens until it is finally smothered by the good keeper, who longs for an opportunity to as quietly strangle the water debate and turn the attention of the "argy fiers to raising ducks. store. whatever." glasses.

about $1,500 Shovera of the Trapped. Tuesday morning two strangers, one about fifty and the other thirty gears of age, stopped at the residence of Daniel Coleman, five miles east of town, and bought two glasses of cider. They offered a silver dollar in payment and received 95 cents in change from one of the women of the family. The men were away from bome at the time, bat when they returned, shortly afterwards, they discovered that the dollar was a counterfeit. Frank Meyers, who lives with Mr.

Coleman, started in pursuit of the counter. feiters and followed them to town. About balf-past four o'clock Meyers discovered one of the men in Coleman's eating house, in the act of passing another dollar. Stepping up to the counter Meyers said, That's counterfeit dollar." know it is," was the reply. "You are the man who gave the woman a counterfeit dollar st Grandpap Coleman's this morning." continued Meyers, "and I want it At this the man bolted out of the store and down the street towards the railroad station, closely followed Megers.

He passed the station and hurried into the office of the Mechanical Works, and when Manager Snyder looked up the man raised his hand and exclaimed, "for God's sake don't say and dropping into chair, pulled off his boot. His stocking and drawer leg were filled with bright dollars, all of which he cast into the stove in a twinkling. Before Mr. Snyder could find time to remonstrate, the stranger had replaced his boot and stocking, and had the second one off. At this juncture a step was heard at the door, and the frightened man threw his stocking, in which were a number of dollars, into the stove, and was in the act of drawing on his boot when Megers appeared.

I want that dollar back you took from the women this morning," said he, and another dollar for coming after it." I have no counterfeit money about my clothes," was the reply; you can search me. It was the other fellow who had the money. All I have is a dollar and seventy cents, and you can take that." Meyers took the proffered money and left, and a moment afterwards the stranger disappeared in the darkness. Mr. Snyder recognized the stranger tramp foundry man, who has visited this place on several accusions.

The metal in the spurious coins was of a very soft material as it was melted when Mr. Snyder looked into the stove. Between fifty and seventy-five pieces were subsequently found in the ash drawer, melted. A Dollar Saved--A Dollar Made.

UmL. An Afflicted Town. SOMERFIELD, Somerset Pa, Dec. 4, '91 EDITOR hitherto healthy little town is now experiencing a severe season of affliction. Faily one-half of its citizens are down with a malady, which, if not la grippe in its worst form, is something equally as bad, if not even worse.

The victims are taken with chills and fever, severe pains in the head and limbs, accompanied with stomach sickness and vomiting Some cases are of two Week's continuance and while the sympt oms have usually been of an alarming chai. acter, no deaths have yet occured. The disease, in most instances, bas claimed for its rictims every member of a family, thus, leading to the opinion that it is more or less contagious. The usual remedies resorted to for severe colds do not ecem to have any perceptible effect. Quinine and favorite cough syrups afford no relief.

The remarkable fact about it is that this town has always been noted for its uniform good health. While neighboring communi ties have been scourged with epidemics, Somerfield bas been singularly exempt from everything of the kind. Such diseases 33 typhoid fever, dysentary, diphtheria, have never been known to prevail here, and while the grip reveled in its work in the surrounding country last year, there was not a well defined case in this place. Much speculation is indulged in as to the cause of the present affliction. As it is popalar just now to lay all sickness in cities and large towns to the water that is nsed.

some of the knowing ones charge it all up to the well-water of the town. But others take no stock in this theory, on the ground that no purer water is to be found any where than is pumped from their wells, and that while impure water might be a factor in producing other diseases there is no reason to think it is an agency in la grippe.
