Government Suits TO be Abandoned

WASHINGTON, April Il.-Secretary
Noble in a letter to the attorney general
requested that the United States attor
ney for Montana be directed to suspend
all action, civil or criminal, against the
Missoula Mercantile company, formely the
Montana improvement company and the
Northern Pacific railroad for timber tres
pass on the public lands in Montana; until
the same can be investigated with the
view to dismissal as recommended by the
United States district attorney. The
amount of lumber involved is over 40
OOO, 900 feet, besides a large amount OF
cord wood and railroad ties. This action
is taken, it Is understood, upon informa.
ton that it will be extremely difficult, if
not altogether impossible, for the gov.
eminent at this late day to secure sufi
cient evidence to maintain these suits,

because the Constitution forbid it. The
only way he could see was to make ap-
! plication to the War Department
for two engineers to survey the
streams, and then ask Congress for an
appropriation.
MIR. James McMillen had some remarks
to make about the way Mr., Hughes was
putting up the houses He said the con-
tract called for ten q day, but up to date
there were only thirty-nine up. He also
claimed Hughes was.doing outside work,
to the detriment of that which he con-
tracted for.
There was some discussion among the
members about taking the contract away
from Hughes, but that gentleman put
in an appearance and said he
had great deal of trouble in getting to
the ground, sometimes having to carry
the house half square. He agreed how
ever to have 100 finished by Saturday
night, and the balance in ten or twelve
days.
The Commission, after asking the opin-
ion Of the citizen present, concluded to
order 200 more of the same houses.
Mr.. Cyrus Elder asked the attention of the
Commission to the condition the city would
be in case II fire broke out. Everything
is wood, and if Johnstown was burnt
up that would be the last. for the people
would not be so liberal again. He said
the old fire companies were ready to re-
organize, but they had. no engines or ap-
paratus. For $25, 900 five good engines
could be be bought, and the town would
be amply secured. lie urged the Com
mission to appropriate that amount
No one present having any more sug-
gestions to offer, the Commission took
recess, haying been in session from II A.
Nj. to 2 r. NJ.
After lunch the Commission went into
executive session over at Camp Hamilton,
which continued without cessation until
$3.50 p. NJ. The main point discussed was
paying out the balance, and as stated
above 1t was decided to continue right.
along.
The Commission spent a good part of
the afternoon passing on bills presented.
The Commission spent the busiest day
yet, and all were thoroughly tired out.
They left for Cresson on the 7;16 train.

Now that suit has been instituted
against the South Fork Club to recover
damages for injuries sustained by the
breaking of the dam, much speculation is
indulged in as to its probable outcome.
Among the points that will pc raised there
is one on which much will depend, name
ly, does the charter give them the right to
build dam. A charter granting certain
corporate privileges, if silent on the sub
ject of erecting such dam as they built,
would fail to relieve the club of RESPONSE
bIlities. And if no such right was secured
to the club, then it looks as though the
members, not as an organization but as
individuals, could be held responsible
1t strikes most people that the plea of
Providential interference in the shape of
unusual heavy rainfalls, will amount to
nothing, as the questions will be what
right had the club to dam up the waters
to an extent that imperiled life and prop
erty, and who gave such a privilege? If
no chartered right, was there any such
right?

Among other good things that the new
State of Dakota will incorporate INTO its
Constitution, is law prohibiting rail-
roads from discriminating in their rates
between places or persons. The rates per
mile for carrying persons and property
for short distance cannot be higher than
is asked for transportation of the same
for long distance. What a God-send
would such law be in Pennsylvania.
Under its operation the eXhorbitant local
rates of some of our roads would be re-
dueed to something like reasonable COM
pensation; but as it is, trip of a dozen
or so miles, runs up to a figure that almost
equals a price of a ticket from Johnstown
to New York. And it would effectually
squelch the practice of charging as much
for transportation from New York to
Johnstown, as from New York to Chicago.
AS to the Interstate Commission-well
it amounts to about as much as the Civil
Service Commission-both arrant frauds.

Dropped Dead.

Latrobe Advance.
Yesterday morning, before seven o'clock,
Thomas McJenkins, an aged resident of
Ligonier, dropped dead at the passenger
station at this place, while waiting for the
train for Pittsburgh. The deceased was
about seventy-two years of age, and had
come to Latrobe on Saturday to visit J.
Fl. McCreery, whom he partly raised.
Tuesday morning he started to the station
to take the early train for Des Moines,
Iowa, where he had relatives living, and,
to the CONSERVATION of those present,
dropped dead. He was taken to Stader's
undertaking rooms and medical aid sum-
moned, but it was beyond human skill to
do anything for him. Mr.. McJenkins was
an lrishman by birth, having emigrated
to this country in 1S42 and located at Lig-
onier wnere he has lived ever since and
amassed some property. He had no rela-
tlves nearer here than Des Moines, Iowa.
The remains were taken to Ligonier and
inferred yesterday afternoon. ApopleXy
is supposed to have been the cause of his
death.

Cnt-TaiI Down for Rnrns-

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record vouches for the wonderful efficacy
of the common cat-tall as a remedy for
burns. He says: Take the down, and
with just enough lard to hold it together
make plaster and lay upon any burn,
and it soothes and heals so soon that it
seems a miracle. Put upon fresh burn,
and in less than half an honr the smart is
gone if it is an old burn, the healing will
commence in twenty-four hours. "Cat-
tail is also the Indian remedy for scro-
fulous sores or ulcers. Age does not de-
stroy its healing virtues. 1t can.be laid
away and kept for years without losing
any of its remedial properties.

ARRIVAL OF TIE COMMISSION.


AS was announced Gov. Beaver and
the other meru."rs, Messrs Scott, Marvin
Miller Ogden, Kramer and Reeves, arrived
in +he city Wednesday morning, and
spent some time viewing the progress
of rebuilding. Governor Beaver, who
is minus leg, took horse and with
Treasurer Thompson, rode over the city.
lie was evidently pleased with the work
done, rs he was in the best of humor all
day.
Promptly at II o'clock the Commission
assembled in the offices of Messrs. Dick &
Murphy in Alma Hall, and ut once proceed
ed to business. Among the citizens present
were Messrs Cyrus Elder, James McMillen,
J. VI. Rose, D. ]. Jones, Rev, Beale and
Captain Kuhn. Governor Beaver, as
Chairman of the Commission, extended
an invitation to any one, and even urged
to let the members know their views and
what they thought ought to be done.
Mr.. D. j. Jones, Secretary of the
Johnstown School Board, was the first
to claim the attention of the Commission,
and presented the condition in which the
School Board found themselves at
present. He stated the enroll
ment of children attending the
Public Schools was 1000, or perhaps a
little more. Now the great question with
the Board was what to do with them.
There are no school houses and no money.
Mr.. Jones made strong appeal to the
Commission to help them out. He said
that, under the law, public schools were
required to be kept six months in the
year. If there is no money in the treas
urY for this purpose,it cannot be done not
even one month. Mr.. Jones made
a strong appeal to the Commission for aid,
and guaranteed if the money was ad-
vanced the Board could have two school
houses ready for occupancy by September
1st. Closing Mr.. James urged the Commits.
sion to give an answer as soon as possible.
Captain Kuhn took the floor and gave a
detailed statement of what the Com.
missaries had done since he
took charge of them. He stated he found
a large number of people subsisting of
the Commissaries who were able to sup.
port themselves, and had cut them off at
once. At the present time the Com.
missary was providing for 727 widows
and their children; thirty-nine orphans
men and women in the hospital on
physicians certificates, forty-seven
forty-six girls who were able
to work as domestics, and these
he proposed to cut off to-day. All
the Commissaries have been merged
into one. Concluding the Captain said he

The Flood Relief Commission have
come and gone, and have covered
themselves with glory. If they could
have stayed two or three days in our city,
we heard quite number say, there is
not a citizen but what would have been
glad to have taken each member by the
hand and said "W4 did not under
stand your policy and said some harsh
things about you. Now that we under
stand your plans, which were for the best,
and your candid explanation, we want to
beg your pardon
We present the glorious news to the
people of Johnstown, and all the other
boroughs, this morning, that the Com
mission in executive session yesterday af
ternoon, voted unanimously to pay
out the remaining funds in the hands of
the Commission at once. So that when
the $500, 900, which Treasurer Thompson
has been giving his checks for, that gen
tleman will go right along and pay the
balance, amounting
TO NEARLY $1,2j0,000.
If this does not put life nto the aver
age citizen, then nothing will, Every
sufferer knows what to "xpect now.
He can so to sleep md know
he has nothing to worry him. Relief is at
hand and he is provided for,
If Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and one
or two other cities turn over their relief
funds it will swell the amount to some
thing like 81, 100000.
There is only one disappointment, and
that affects the school districts only ;
and that is the Commission de.
cided it had no authority to appropri-
ate any of the funds for the benefit of the
public schools.

The power Of mind over body for dis
ease or for health is no new notion. Tho
medicine man has practiced for ages
among savage tribes. In the temples Of
ancient paganism cures were wrought by
treatment which suggests an early form
OF mesmerism. a disease, which is an il
fusion, may be cured by remedy which
is an illusion. Imagination which cures
imaginative diseases, may aid in curing
most actual disease. Every physician
knows the importance of mental states in
curative processes. Even a broken bone
viii knit better under the influence OF a
happy mind. Cancer may be removable
only by a knife, but the best plaster after
ward is an easy mind. Cholera germs are
most actual physical forces, but they find
40 condition for action in the man whose
nerves are braced by fearlessness. The
mind cure has systematized common sense
concerning mental influences on the body.
The philosophy Of the power Of mind over
