What Somerset (Pa.) County Man thinks
Of the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, located at Buffalo N. Y.

w. H. Miller of Stoyestown, Pa,
who has been suffering for nearly a
quarter of a century from an affection
of the kidneys, resulting in the neces-
sity of surgical operation, after cDn-
sulting and being treated by number
of our own doctors, as well as recciv-
ing the treatment and advice of some
of the most eminent professional men
of the land, finally became acquain ed
with the above Institute, and their
mode aud means of treatment.
After due correspondence with the
Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso ia
ton, the proprietors of the Iuvaiids'
Hotel, he was induced to visit said in
stitution, On arriving there and after
being fully acquainted, he lost no time
III making the necessary arrangements
for the required treatment. After re-
naming for rearly four weeks at the
lnvalids Hotel, where you receive the
kindest and best treatment, and where
patients are 10th to leave, after re.
covery, he returned to his family aud
friends cured and happy man.
In giving this to the public. Mr..
Miller wishes to say that he owes the
aforesaid Institute nothing but his
best wishes. And the fact that his
own success and great relief is due to
similar testimonials from others who
we're successfully treated there for all
manner of chronic diseases from every
State aud Territory of the Union, Can
ada, Mexico, and South America. 1t
ii marvel of success. He further
says, should this fall TO the notice OF
any sufferers from chrooic disea ses,
such as seem to battle the skill of Your
own physician-but first aud above all
give your own physicians fair and
impartial trial, and all the available
means offered, as Somerset county may
Justly feel proud of her medical IN IN
who spare no means nor time in the
treatment of all cases entrusted to
their charge. And if they fail. il
many cases, it will be an act of Oh AZ
ity to point You to a place where {
probable cure may be effected, which
is the humble intent of the above com
munieation. The above Association
is courteous, prompt ald reliable. -

SKELETON OF A MAsTADoN.
Discovery of the Bones of an Animal
Twenty-Five Feet Long.

Discovery of the Bones of an Animal
Twenty-Five Feet Long.
OTTAWA, June 6.-The skeleton of a
colossal animal has been discovered near
Highgate. The whole of the teeth, eight
in number, four in the upper and four in
the lower jaw, have been found complete.
They are eight inches long and more than
three and half inches broad. The strnc.
ture of the teeth indicates that they have
served admirably for the grinding and
mastication of tough, hard, vegetable
substances. A broken piece of one of the
tusks measured about nine feet, eight
inches. In its complete state it must
have been from twelve to fourteen feet
long. 1t is slightly curved and its cir.
cumference at the thickest part is twenty
four inches. These are some of the bone
measurements Hind leg, from the thigh
to the knee joint, forty-seven inches; cir
conference thirty-fve inches. two fore
leg bones-the humerus-from the shoul-
der blade to the knee joint, three feet
four inches in length and three feet four
inches in circumference. The atlas joint
uron which the head is set, has breadth
of nearly eighteen inches. Tie shoulder
blade measures three feet two inches by
two feet one inch in the widest part
The longest rib is fifty one inches and has
circumference of ten inches. The
lower jaw, the inferior maxillary bone,
measured six ct.
The length of the animal, guaged by
the measurements of the bones found, is
from the point Of the nostril to the root
of tie tail about twenty-five feet. This
is greater than that OF the celebrated
mastodon, discovered near Newburg, N,
Y, in 1915.

A PREACHER in the Mud.

GREENsBURG, Pa. June 12.-Rev. H. S.
Boyd, pastor of the Z. P. Church, of
Greensburg, while on his way from pres.
bytery, came very nearly being drowned
in swamp. He approached the river
bank at Boston, desiring to cross to El-
rods station. The ferryman on the oppo-
site side told him to walk down the
stream little farther. Mr.. Boyd started
to do so, when he got in swamp and
came near disappearing in the mud. Had
he gone another step he would have surely
gone beyond his depth and drowned. AS
it was, he extricated himself with much
difficulty.

no action will be taken with regard to the
detention and return of the seven Belgian
glass blowers who entered the United
States in violation of the contract labor
law, until some disposition is made by

ONE OF PENN,s LAND DEALS.
An Unexpected Claimant Puts in His Ap-
pearance.
Lancaster Intelligencer.

An Unexpected Claimant Puts in His Ap-
pearanee.
Lancaster Intelligencer.
An old Indian chief from Canada has
turned up in Philadelphia on a curious
mission. Centuries ago the Minsies, a
branch of the Delawares, owned large
part of the country along the Delaware,
and when they left for better hunting
lands to the north they left their lands
in trust TO the Quakers and William Penn
to be restored to their descendants when
ever demanded. TIE remnant of the
tribe are now hard up and sent their
cEief, John B. Waubuno, down TO Phila-
delphia to reclaim the land or its cash
equivalent. John has dropped down
upon the gentlemen of the Historical
society of Pennsylvania like bomb shell,
loaded with mass of rare ancient docu
ments which prove his title to about forty
miles of land on both sides of the Della
ware and extending back an unknown
distance over region thickly settled and
dotted with towns and villages. Re-
searches in the archives and historical
collection of the society confirmed his
claims, AMI the old Indian wants to go
home to his tribe at once and hold a
grand jubilee, and raise money to push
the matter in the courts. Whatever may
come of this astonishing quest of the Mn
sizes it places the benevolent Quakers of
olden times in novel and embarras ssing
position. They have posed in history as
rare and edifying examples of wisdom and
justice in dealing with the Indians, and
yet it appears that they camly bamboozled
these noble red men by receiving from
them land in trust which they could not
have dreamed of returning. The records
of the chief of the Minsies also show that
IN their land bargains the Quakers of old
times were quite as sharp as any modern
land shark. 1t was stated that in 1858
William Penn bought from them land
which was to extend as far back as a man
could walk in six days. "Mignon (PcnD)
and some friends and number of Indian
chiefs started to measure it, and walked
up the Delaware from the mouth for
day and a-half and then stopped, and it
never was marked out till 1888. They
then employed noted fast walker who
made eighty-six miles in the remaining
day and a-half. This disgraceful act
made the first breach in the confidence of
the Indians"
So at last we have the Indian side of
the great Penn Indian bargain story, and
instead OF the cluster of broad brims under
a tree peddling beads and trinkets for
thousands of acres of land. we have the
grotesque picture of a great pedestrian
match against time. 1t begins to look as
though the tales of Penn and his peaceful
Quakers might go tottering out of history
along with stories of PocohOntas and
John Smith, but it will take something
more than stray Canadian Indian or an
historical sensationallst to shake popular
faith IN any of those pleasant stories of
good old times.

SaXton Herald,
The Powelton furnace was blowed
out on Monday for an indefinite period.
For several weeks the movements of the
Company gave indications of this close
down, and few were surprised and many
regret the stopping. This throws about
200 men out of employment, majority
of whom have and will locate elsewhere.
The cause of the close down is not defi-
nitely known, and whether it is on &C.
count of disagreement of the
management or dullness of trade
remains to be seen. It can not be
on acct unit of low price of pig iron, for
the market has improved in marked
way during the past two weeks, and in
and in many quarters prices have adj
vanced. But in order to settle the pig
iron market on solid basis it has been
decided by all the iron manufacturers of
the country that the furnaces be banked
for at least two weeks.

Twenty years ago boy baby was born
to Charles and Bella Leach, of Indiana
county. The infant was normal in every
respect save as TO the head, which bore a
close resemblance to that of a puppy.
The monstrosity was kept closely con-
fined. 1t never spoke, and saw nothing
of the world. Death mercifully came to
its relief last week. Of late years the
head grew much like thai of fox. The
moth~r, previous to the childs birth, was

found were parts of two hams which had
evidently been buried there in the food.

The Cnr stove Must Go.

The P. R. r. officials at Philadelphia
have decided to remove the deadly car
stove and in its place will use steam from
the locomotive for heating all of its pas
seDger cars. There are two pipes in each
car, one for steam and the other to carry
the water of condensation back to the
locomotive. A spur from the steam pipe
runs under each seat, and under the pipes
are openings through which fresh air
enters the car and becomes heated in
passing over the steam pipes.

Extension of Dining Car Service ON the
PENNSYLVANIA Line


In these days of hurry and rapid transit
the dining car has become an essential
element Of every through train. The
Pennsylvania Railroad was the pioneer in
the East of this branch of the service. and
its dining cars have won well-merited
reputation among travellers. In order to
better provide for the comfort of its
through passengers dining cars will, on
and after June 10th, be added to the
equipment of all through trains running
over the lines west of Pittsburgh between
the East and Cincinnati, Chicago and st.
Louis. The principal trains on the lines
east of Pittsburgh are now equipped with
these cars, and their addition to those of
the Western territory will greatly enhance
the convenience of passengers destined to
the three great Western termini.
