A number OF Junista's young uen
who attended court this week made
themselves ridiculous by passing Oh
jeotionable reuiarks about some OF
young ladies at the q. A. II. Festivals
Though our girls may not chuck on
AZ much style on the same amount OF
capital as their Juniata acquaintan.
oes, We would have them distinctly
understand that they are their peers
socially and Intellectually. and know
exactly what language to select to
snub fool. Some OF these young
men were gentlemen, no doubt, and
we took pleasure In entertaining them,
while Others we're pups that only need
age and maturity to make them good
sized, respectable dogs-"only this
and nothing more"
Lees circus which exhibited here on
Saturday was quite we'll attended and
gave universal satisfaction. 1t 10 ono
OF the nestest little shows We have
ever seen and Is nearly entirely com
posed OF specialties which makes 1t
very entertaining-even to old circus.

ladies and gentleman, kind and nc.
comm nodating, and the exhibition IL
entirely devoid OF the robbing rabble
that generally follow shows to swim
die the unwary. They are guilty OF
only one ,njustice-and that is to them
selves-by charging only 25 cents ad-
mission, when their exhibition IN
fully worth so cents. Should the com.
pany ever come through here again
they will receive hearty welcome
from our people.
SAD SUICIDE. John Sewers, resid-
Ing In New Berlin hung himself In the
woods near Erdley's Church, four
miles south OF New Berlin, on We'd
nesday afternoon. June. The cir
cuu,stances connected with the affair
are most sad Mr.. Sewers was sub
jsot to fits OF despondency during
which he was not only dangerous to
himself but TO all around him. He
and his son had made preparations
for going to Nebraska on Tuesday,
but on Monday night he took one OF
his sick spells and they could not go.
They then calculated going on Wed,
nestlay but on Tuesday night he took
sick again and they were compelled
TO remain. In the afternoon he and
his son took walk, and Mr. Sewers
started to return home alone. Not
arriving. his friends suspicious were
aroused and search was inaugurated
and they found him In few hours
sitting on the ground with his trunk
ropo around his neck and fastened to
q saplin9 over head. He was dead
but still warm. He was buried at
New Berlin on Sunday and the fun.
eral was very largely attended. He
was aged 90 years, was married a sec
ond time, and leaves three sons and
one girl-all residing In the West.
Last week Frank Harman Of Krat.

burgh fished Weiker Run. They
crossed the mountains from Troxel.
vile and bunked In Boney's shanty
over night. They sat and chatted,
telling snake, fishing and hunting
stories, at which, by the way, they
are both experts, until nearly eleven
o'clock when they stretched out their
weary limbs to WOO natures sweet
restorative. They had not lain long
when swishing sound from above
greeted their ears. Frank looked up
at the board roof and by tha dim
light OF an almost exhausted tall0w-
dip disoerned the head and forepart
OF the body OF huge snake swaying
to and fro almost immediately over
his head. He lay motionless for
moment disputing in his mind wheth-
or he hadn't been drinking too much,
when his suspicious were checked by
something heavy dropping on his
blanket A terrific yell and q bound
from Frank sent the reptile against
the other end OF the shanty. This
brought Swartz to his feet who was
as badly scared at Hartman as Harman
was at the snake. They searched In
the leaves and fern for half an hour,
but were unable to fnd his snakeship
which had evidently orawled into the
logs OF the hut. Mr.. Hartman declares
the snake was q copper head aud
fully a. thick as his arm at tho shoui-
