Burgos Pi-rl has adopted the Hek-ald's suggestion and List Saturday evening called a meeting of citizens to arrange fr a reception of the Somerset member of the Tenth Regiment, now on their way borne from the Philippines. It as decided to lot the general arrangements in the hands of a sub-coi imittee, consisting of Captain W.

H. Sanner, Captain William M. brock, aud Amos W. Knepper, veteraus of the civil war, and Captain E. O.

Kooser and Lawrence Sipe, Spanish war veterans. The subcommittee will hold a roeetingsome time this week when a prog-am will bear-ranged. It is not definitely known when the Somerset members or the Tenth Howard Cromwell aud Joe Levy will arrive here, but they are expected to communicate this Intelligence to the local committee upon their arrival in Pittsburg next Monday. That they will be given an enthusiastic reception goesw ith-out saying, and all citizeus should stand ready to promptly respond to any requests that the committee may make upon them to that end. The San Francisco correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, in last Sunday's Lssne of that paper says "Howard E.

Cromwell, of Company 1), is the only mail in the Tenth now who has foreign lead in his body and he will briug it back to Pennsylvania with him. He as hit three times at Malate, but one of the bullets which hit him iu the right leg a little above the knee is there yet, and although it does uot bother him much now, he is uaturally anxious to have it out." The correspondent of the PitLsburg makes the follow ing mention of "Joe" Levy, in a dispatch published in that paper Monday: "While Colonel Hawk-us was in the hospital at Corregidor island he tiictated to Joseph Levy, clerk iu the adjutant a office, the report w-hich be wished to have tiled with the adjuUat general of Pennsylvania. This report covers the history of the Tenth re.1ment in tne Spanish and Filipiuo wars, and from the time death cut short Colonel Hawkins narrative Lieutenant Colonel Barnett ll take up the report. It will contain facts that will clear matters that iiave een in dispute and cast light where there was darkness. This report will be led with the adjutant general in a few weeks after the regiment's return." In bis report Colonel Hawkins sets forth at some length the partiality shown Brigadier General Green for the vol unteer regiments jrom tue est nu frankly charges his superior with having violated tho pledge he made after the battle of Malate, when he declared that the Tenth should have the post of honor hen the American troops entered snila.

Happy Family Beunion.

R. Sanner), grandchildren, great grandchildren and other relatives, residents of Somerset and Fayette coun ties.

The dinner was served in a beaoti ful sugar grove near by the Hyatt resi dence, which, notwithstanding the ex cessive beat, as delightful, and the boun tiful supply of edibles was all that could be desired.

Many people are of the opinion that the candidates will be the same as in but there may be' a "dark horse" who will in the race. Popularity has much to do ith candidates.

Mountain Hon Sootori. From the Mt. Pleasant Journal. President Thomas" Lynch, of the H. C.

Frick CokeCOmpany, his wife and family, speut Wednesday night at the National otel i le ret ii rn ing to thei reensbu rg home after a week's carriage drive through the mountains as far east as Bedford. They were making the county seat by easy stages as one of their horses was taken sick at Shanksville, Somerset county, and had to be left theie, another 1 havinir been hired to take his place. L.V story of his experience with mountain horse doctors is very amusing. Everyone of them and there were a half a dozen or more of them in the crowd that gathered at the stable uot only had a different diaguosis but also the patent medicine warranted to cure the trouble itself, and Tom invested and tried each prescription in turn. The result was that, while the bor.se was simply foundered from drinking when overheated aud was shaking a little to start ith, he was down rolling In agony and thai, too, before Dr.

Good AdVice to Correspondent. Correspondents who write to editors for publication should observe several common sense rules to assure admission Into the columns of a newspaper. The writer should carefully consider and understand the subject; it should be stated as tersely and courteously as it can be presented it should be written legibly, and especially proper names should be written plainly aud accurately, and the writer should promptly stop when the work is done. A large proportion of the best talent employed on a newspaper is devoted to the daily task of pruning diffused articles from one-half to one third. The standing order in every new spaper office is to "boil down," and newspaper correspondents would, as a rule, make their communica tions vastly more acceptable and impres sive if they studied the art that is part of the training of every journalist.

Section provides for the assessing by the Assessor rt the time of assessing other property, of the dogs in his district, and that the Commissioners and Couucilmen shall levy such amount of tax within the requirements of the law as shad in their judgment pay all losses and costs arising from depredations of dogs. Section 3 provides that whenever any person shall sustain loss by depredations of dogs, such person, or his or ber ageul or attorney, may complain to any Alder man or Justice of the Peace of such town ship, borough or city, in writiug, to be signed by the person making such com plaint, whereupon the Justice or Alderman to hom complaint shall be made shall notify the township, borough or city Auditors or Controlleis, who shall at once examine the place where the alleged loss or damage was sustained, and theshecp injured or killed, if practicable, aud they shall examine, under oath or affirmation administered by one of them, all ituesses called before tlicm. by sub-po-na, which the said Auditors are here by authorized to issue, and, after making diligent inquiry iu relation to such claim, shall determine and report to such Just- i. Magistrate, or Aldermau, in writing.

whether such damage has been sustained and the amount thereof, and who was the owner or keeper of such dog or dogs by which such damage has been sustained, and if the dog or dogs, if known, are des troyed, then the owner or keeper of said dog or dogs shall be exempt from further liability, such report to be signed by a majority of the Auditors and delivered to the Justice before whom such claim has been made: Provided, That any owner of dog or dogs, refusing to kill his dog or dogs, after having received due notice from the Coustable or police through the Justice of the Peace, Magistrate, or Alderman before whom such claim has been made of the damage done by his dog or dogs, shall be liable for alldamages and ooets of the same. Section 4 provides that upon receipt of the return of the Auditors the Magistrate shall immediately make a certificate thereto setting forth the damages found upon payment of costs up to that tune. Set-lion 5 authoiizea the County Com missioners or Couucilmen of cities upon receiving such report to immediately draw an order ou the Treasurer of said county or city for the amount of such claim, with necessary and proper costs to be paid out of the fund raised by the tax on dogs Provided, further. That no person shall receive an order for, any claim until he or she has been qualified according to law before said Justice of the Peace. Magistrate, or Alderman before whom claim was made that was made to ascertain whose did such damage.

Section 6 provides for the killingof dogs whose owners have refused or neglected to do so by a Coustable, and his remuner ation of 1 for each dog killed. Section SallowstheJusticeof the Peace, Magistrate, or Alderman SI for each case. aud Auditors or Controllers Jl per day for the time necessarily spent in making each investigation, to be paid by the claimant in each case: That in all cases where damages are awarded, the fees paid by claimants shall be Included iu the am ount of such damages. A supplement to this Act, approved June 7, WC, provides that where there is not sufficient tax in any year to pay claims for images, such claims shall re main a lieu against the county, to be paid out of the fund of subsequent years. A great objection to this law is that the owner receives no compensation for loss of time iu presenting his claim and using due diligence to ascertain whose dogs did the damage, to say nothing of the allowance granted by the Auditors being frequently not half the actual value of the sheep.

Again, sheep are often killed by dogs from a city, or from an adjoining county, which damage, when the dogs are not known, exhausts thecounty fund. Auditors, too, complaiu that a remunera tion of 11 per diem is not adequate, as some of them may be obliged to allow a team to sUnd idle while they attend to the duty imposed on them by law. The proper remedy would doubtless be to amend the law so that all dog lax shall be paid to the Treasurer of the county. Or, better SHU. VO ids treasurer.

which would insure greater security to persons sustaining loss, and lessen the tax on taxpayers in the rural districts. who are now compelled to bear more than their share of the burden. A C-0prative tt. The little town of Moreheed, in Laltte county. is probably the only town In the United States that is run on the cooperative plan to any extent.

Thi little town hs a population of about 600, and baa adopted co-operative methods almost exclusively. It is in the heait oi a great agricultural section, and the co-operative idea baa been extended into the country, where several farms are run on the cooperative basis. The farmers raise their crop, and divide up, so that if one farmer has poor crops be need not suffer a total lues, as he ould do other iaw. The co-operative teethed that have been adopted so far have proven a suc and more enterprises wre constantly being put under this method of doing buai- ness. says the Washington SUr.

At pres ent the town has a co operative hotel. co-operative laundry, a co operative ball, a co-operative creamery, a co-operative canning factory, and a co-operative dining hall has just been put in operation, where several families, perhaps two dozen, take their meals. Anybody who ia a member of the company can get meals at a reduced rate there, and niaay farmers have be come members so that they can gel a good square meal at a low price when they come to town on Saturday. A co-operative housekeeping movement la to be started soon, which, together with the dining-hall already in operation will do away with the hired girl problem. An experienced manager oversees each com mon enterprise and renders his account at the end of each month, and the ex penses are divided np among the mem ben of the co-operative society.

The town is prospering, aud many new bouses are going np. Other enterprises will beputonaao-operativebasisatonce. aud it ia intended soon to have all the cooking and other work done in com mon, and such a town as Edward Bella my picturea in "Looking Backward" will iu all probability realized there, as that ia the intention of the people of More-head.

WASHINGTON CCSTEK. PARKER PHILLIPS, Zxecatcr's Sols many grocers are selling what they call their own private or special brands. These powders are put up for the grocer and bis name put upon the labels by manufacturers of alum powders iu Pitts burg, Chicago, Cincinnati, and else where. The manufacturers, it is said. find their eilorta to market their goods in this ay greatly aided by the ambition of the grocer to sell a powder with his own mine upon the label, especially as he can make au abnormal profit upon it.

Many grocers, doubtiesa, do not know that the powders ihey are thus pushing are detri mental to health and would lie actually contraband in waxy sections if sold with out disguise. It is quite impossible to give the names of all the alum baking powders in the market. Tbey are constantly appearing in all sorts of disguises, under all kinds of cognomens, and at all kinds of prices, eveu as low as five and ten cents a pound. They can be avoided, however, by the housekeeper who will bear in mind that all baking powders sold at twenty-five cents or less per pound are liable to eon- tain alum, as pure oreaoi of tartar pov ders can not be produced at anything like this price.
