Key, Hicks' June Forcengt. Rev. Hicks predicts pleasant days and cool nights the first week in June. The opening phases of the moon will cause a storm period from the 8th to the 13th.

From the 10th to the 25th the regular solstice period will cause many showers and 1 sudden gusts, Accompanied by much electrical display in all parts. The entering of the Mercury period, the 16th, will add to the probability for cloudiness and rain. The electrical displays are to be very vivid And continuous, and the storms will progress from west to east. They are to be erratic in their course. New moon on the 29th will cause very warm weather and general rains.

Rye in Wheat Flelds. A gentleman who knows, tells us that there 18 an exceedingly large amount of rye growing in the wheat fields in this county this year. So much that It it remains in fields will injure the selling price of the wheat very greatly. The quantity of rye is so great that the wheat can not be sold as No. 2 wheat even, and that means a loss of 10 or 15 cents a bushel from what It is worth if clean.

In fact it will be hard to sell at almost any price and will be fit only for feeding to stock, for when it is so full of rye the flour will not make good bread, neither will the distillers bny It for making whisky, becuse of the wheat. Our friend advises the farmers to cut the rye out at once, as it can be done without doing much damage to the growing grain now, and it will certainly pay them well for the labor. A Jane Wedding.

Heralded far and wide as the highest class cireus in the world comes the Great Wallace Shows to Chambersburg, Wednesday, June 30th.

The Kansas City World, saying the aged axiom "when you have seen one cireus you have seen them all" don't hold good with the Wallace Shows, for it differs in a great many essential particulars.

Long went to the residence of Mr. Jobu L. Barner, who is the trustee for the C. Long estate, to gee Mr. Barner on busi ness.

Mr. Barner was in the dining room at dinner. Long was in an excited mood and threatened to kill Mr. Barner, "at the same time putting his hands to his hip pock ets. Mr.

Barner sprang from the table and forced Long out on the porch and closed the door and immediately two pistol shots were fired. As no marks of the bullets have been found on the door it is thought that the shots were fired merely as a bluff. Long then went to the C. V. station flourish ing two revolvers and threatened to shoot Mr.

E. L. Criswell, the agent. A large crowd gathered immediately and great ex citement prevailed but Long was shortly placed under arrest. He was taken to Carlisle in the evening but returned at 9.13 at night, having procured bail.

As has been stated Mr. Barner is trustee for the Long estate, of which Christ. Long is one of ihe heirs. Long has contracted debts and his income has been legally attached for these. He became incensed because Mr.

Barner paid his creditors instead of giving his income into his own hands and this led to the trouble. It is understood that he had made threats before and this will likely make the case a serious one for him. Chronicle. Ft Loudon Items.

MEANS, Middle Spring, Cumberland Pa, ALBERT A. LINE, Carlisle, Penn'a. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and antil the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful, It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one bundred dollars for any case it fails to cure.

The train that struck the tallyho was bound east from Mineola. It was not running fast when the accident happened and accounts differ as to whether the whistle was blown. It is also a matter of dispute whether the bell was being rung. It is claimed by some that was and that the merry party on the coach was making so much nolse that the driver could not hear the bell. The double team of the tallyho had crossed the track and had the front wheels of the coach upon the rails when the pilot of the engine was seen by the driver.

He gave the horses a cut with the whip, but It was too late, and a moment later the crash came. The heavy engine, driven forward by the momentum. raised the coach and its load of persons from the ground and hurled It forward. As the engine came into sight the women of the party uttered screams which were ended by the crash, and then followed cries of agony. When the engine struck the coach, the occupants were in various positions, as they had started to jump to their feet upon realizing their danger.

Some had gained their feet, while others had made an effort to reach the side steps. Others, too frightened to move, had clutched the seats or the side rail and remained staring at the rapidly approachIng engine. The shock threw some of the passenger's into the air, and they landed on the rails and in the guttery which run on either side of the track. Others went down under the coach, which wax pushed along the rails by the train for some distance. Those who were killed and those most badly injured were caught under the coach and crushed.
