Yours for health, Lydia E. Pinkham,
of Lynn, Mass, which has been
floating through the papers, we are
glad to learn is false in every respect,
as we found on inquiring at HubbarG's
International Newspaper Agency of

days since "The Lydia Pinkham
Compound Business is not financially
embarrassed as reported, but is being
conducted on a much larger scale
than ever, dong a large and growing
business and paying one hundred
cents on a dollar" Mr.. Hubbard has
the whole charge of the advertising of
this and other similar large houses,
and informs US that he has inserted
her advertisements on yearly contracts
in over 5000 newspapers last year, SO
that she is to-day the best known
woman in America. Ia addition to
this fact she is a live, earnest woman
of over sixty, and doing great deal
of good in the world, as many of the
best families in this city can testify.
Her advertisements, though worded
plainly, are not equiyocal in any sense,

Internal revenue Taxes.

The internal revenue tax discussion
was continued in the Senate at Wash
ington, July 20, the pending amend
ment being to strike out the provision
repeating taxes on bank capital and de-
posits, bank checks, drafts, &c. Voor-
hees vehemently detained against the
amendment as an odious exemption in
the interest of favored class. During
his speech he had several little politi-
cal tits with his colleague, Mr. Harri-
son. Mr.. Jonas of Louisiana took ad-
vantage of the discussion to unload a
speech 10 favor of the sugar tax.
Mr. Butler and others favored re-
moving the tax on bauk deposits, but
were indisposed to favor the sweeping
amendment Of the committee The
pending amendment was rejected, l5
to Al.
The Senate committee amendment
to the first section as amended, by a
reduction Of tax on tobacco, was then
agreed tO-39 to 9-and the question
recurred on the remainder of the sec
ton. The portion adopted fixes the
taxes on manufactured bacco after
Jan. |, 1888, at y cents per pound,
and provided the repeal of the capital
and deposits of banks and bankers
shall not effect such taxes as are now
due ana payable, and that the repeal
of the stamp tax on checks, drafts, or
ders, and vouchers shall not take effect
until Oct. l.

A Zig Jaw.

Lawrence Guardian.
Some of the civil engireers working
in the interest of the Pittsburgh {,
Western railroad, in the vicinity OF
Rock Point, this county, on last Sur
day made remarkable find. They
discovered a relic of antediluvian times
in the shape of the upper jaw boues OF
the long extinct animal, terUuS primo
qenitus. The booes measured about
two feet and half, which would make
the head about four feet. Judging
from this the height Of this deer must
have been from ten to fourteen feet. 1t
lived at the time Of the masto6on, and
did not become extirct until some time
during the stone age of lnan. The relic
was brought to the Rock Poiut Hotel,
from whence it was taken to Pitts
burgh ard placed in TIE possession Of
Mr.. A. D. Smith, general passenger
agent OF the p. & l.. +. railroad.

Why He Got Left.

Texas Siftings.
During country election Jim
McSnifter worked very bard for Col.
Percy Ycrger, one of the candidates.
They we're personal friends Colonel
Yerger had never promised Jim any-
thing so he thought he would sound
him on the subject. "ColOnol Yerger,
people say that if you are elected You
are going to make me your deputy" F"
remarked Jim suggestively. 'pon't
you let them fool you jim" retorted
Colonel Yerger, Indignantly, that's
a campaign lie gotten up to injure me
with the respectable classes: If you
hear anybody say that | am going to
appoint you my deputy, tell him that
Pm not that kind of g man, and you
will oblige me very much" Jim
went off mad, and Colonel Yerger,
who was afterwards defeated, always
attributed his defeat to JiW's failure to
deny the injurious rumor. They have
not spoken TO each other since, foI
some reason or other.

Parker PhaniX, July 2s.1
On Friday night last, mean, low
lived sneak, under cover of darkness,
deliberately set fire 10 one of j. p.
Parker's wells and destroyed the rig,
tanks, several barrels of oil, etc, en-
failing a severe loss to Mr.. Parker's
creditors. This makes The second
time the torch has been applied to Mr..
Parker's property within a week.
There is not a respectable man in the
whole neighhorhood who countenanoes
such contemplate and villainous pro.
ceedings. The guilty party should be
hunted down and made to pay dearly
for his hellish deed This is supposed
to be Christian country, compo osed of
law abiding persons and yet would-be
assassins parade the streets and prattle
what they will dc, etc, and the mid
night vandal applies the torch. If
matters are not allowed to proceed ac-
cording to law and justice, vigilance
committee will be formed and woe un-
to the devils in human form, if they a"e
caught. When the first well was fred
it was deemed best to quietly submit,
but the last dastardly outrage has
placed many man, though he be a
financial sufferer, on his metal to see
that right be done by all.

sHEIDEMANTLE WE'LL.
Great Success-Suilert to Have
her Boom.

The great success at the Sheide-
mantle well ha, again revived the oil
excitement ere. Last Thursday the
sand was reached and the well began
to flow. This was at the depth Of
1913 feet. Drilling, however, N
tinued on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day about 80 feet further into the rock,
the sand still increasing in good quail
ty and the oil increasing in its flow,
the tools still remaining in the well.
Its flow from then to this time, as near
as can be told is about 240 barrels per
day. When the tools are removed and
the we'll tubed, old operators predict,
with confidence, that the flow will be
largely increased As it is, it surpass
es the Simcox & Myers well. being
considered a better one in all respects.
The most favorable fact as to this
territory is the naCrre of the sand rock.
1t gets better as it deepens. Its thick
ness is from 40 to 80 feet and the grain
increases in coarseness and productive
ness towards the bottom. This insures
long lasting wells We are told it is
different in the great Warren and
Bradford fields. There the best or
most flow is had upon the top of the
rock, and the rock often not more than
10 or 15 feet in depth. Hence the re-
suit has been, and will be, that the
wells soon flow out and the territory
exhausted The depth and nature of
the Bald Ridge rock gives every
promise this territory will last for a
much longer time than the upper ter
ritory.
The Sheidemantle is on the Smick
purchase, John Weber farm, aud about
a hundred rods nearly due south of the
Simcox & Myers The well drilling
by Mr. Smick himself is about 40 or 80
rods still further southwark of the
Sheidemantle. Mr.. Smick has no
doubt of it also being good one. He
is an experienced operator and consid-
ers the character Of that territory as
now established
Tanks are being erected and pipe
connections already made. The only
draw back is the low price of oil, but
as soon as it rises we look for lively
times in the Bald Ridge and adjacent
territory. Between Butler and there
DO doubG is left that good wells can be
obtained whenever wanted.
LATER-Latest news from the
Sheidemantle we'll is that she is iu-
creasing in flow and production.
Several other wells drilling in the Bald
Ridge are expected to reach the sand
within the coming two or three weeks |

"POsial Notes"

If the bill which passed the House
last week, authorizing the issue of
"postal notes"' becomes a law, as it
probably will, the public will be greatly
accommodated. 1t provides for the
issue of notes for sums less than S.,
payable to the bearer at the money Or
der Office where issued, or at the Office
designated by the person who pro-
cures them. The need of some such
device has been felt keenly since the
fractional paper currency disappeared.
1t will be useful to everybody in pay
ing small bills due at distance, or in
sending money by post for any pur-
pose, as it will avoid the annoyance of
obtaining g post Office order. The
House also approved measure reduc-
ing fees on money orders. This is a
good thing. The system is not now,
in any sense, an experiment, and its
success would perhaps justify a still
greater reduction. 1t Is an interesting
fact that two million dollars have been
paid for money orders that have never
! been presented.

CRACKSMEN CAUGHT.
Five Burglars Arrested at Oil
City and Lodged in The
Mercer jail.

Mercer was aroused from her mid
summer lethargy on Tuesday of last
week by the arrival of five knights
of the skeleton keys" securely hand
cuffed and escorted by Detective Mel
son and Constable Boies, Of Greenville
The strangers were at once shown to
safe quarters under surveillance OF
Sheriff kile
The morning papers had already an
nounced the fact that they constituted
a desperate gang of expert cracksmen.
The earliest trace of them that can be
obtained was at Greenville where
they appeared on Saturday afternoon.
From what quarter they came is not
known. They carried several carpet
bags which were left in a grocery
store until 10 O'Clock at night. The
afternoon was spent in wandering
J about the streets. After securing their
baggage it is supposed they immedi-
ately went to work to rob the safe
in the Union Express office. They
were well equipped for their profession,
as an excellent kit of the finest burglar
tools was subsequently discovered to be
the principal contents of their valises.
An enterance into the express Office
was effected by boring hole through
the front door, near the lock, and
forcing the bolt with jimmy. The
daring character of the burglars evil
denced by the boldness of their deed,
as the express Office is situated on The
principal street of the town. The
safe was new one and claimed by the
manufacturers to be burglar proof.
The knob of the safe door was first
broken off and then hole made with
diamond drill just below and little
to one side of the knob. A punch was
then inserted and the combination so
disarranged that the door readily
opened. They left and were arrested
at Oil City
OF the prisoners, the cold man."
who registered at Cory as Pat Flaher-
ty, is the oldest and the leader of the
gang He is apparently about fifty
five, heavy set and weighs over $50
pounds; his hair is grayish but has
been black He has keen, sbrewd
look, and would be taken for smart
business man. His movements are ac-
tive and denote a nervous, wiry, ener-
getic man.. The whole gang presents
a rather fine appearance being respect
ably dressed, and, three at least, seem
to be men of more than average in
telligence The remaining four range
in ages from twenty-four to thirty-fve,
and all are, il locks much above the
ordinary criminal, and only one pos
sesses what would be considered a
bad couItenance.
They are believed to be the same
crew that robbed the Mercer postof-
flee and broke open numerous other
safes recently in that county. All
these jobs bear the marks of skillful
cracksmen. Ia style of work and size
of holes drilled and in the manner of
executing their designs a striking
similarity is recognized.

A not unimportBnt element in the
consideration of the Egyptian question
is the value of the Arab as fighting
material. OF the courage of the
wretches who beat the brains of 80
many Europeans caught by surprise
and unarmed in the late Alexandria
riots, one may judge by an incident
which took Place in the course of
them. On the great square of Alexan-
dria some 200 OF these patriotic pro-
testers against the rule of the foreigner
were engaged in hunting Europeans,
when four attendants Of the tribunal
rushed out of the sanctuary with drawn
swords, and the whole 200 took to
precIpitate flight, leaving the square
empty of all but the dead and wound
ed and the four messengers of justice
Without some firm assurance of mus
tafz or nizam it is quite certain that
none of the rabble would ever have dared
to raise a hand against foreigner.

courage of the Egyptian on ordinary oc-
casion. As a soldier the bloody

once Egyptian soldiers defeated

much lower state of dicipline than

with vigor of which the following
incident related by veteran who re-
membered Mehemet Ali, will give an
example A milkwoman came to the
Pasha one day complaining that one of
his soldiers had robbed her of the
milk she was bringing to camp. The
