PlTTSVILLE NEWS.

From Pittsville Independent.-Mrs.
J. D. Witter and Mrs. C. w. Briggs, of
Grand Rapids, were in the city visiting
Tuesday, the guests of Mrs. r. II.
Boynton.
Postmistress Lucy Woodwork
visited Minneapolis and the Minneapo-
lis Exposition the first of the week.
This morning (Thursday) on the
public highway, just over the eastern
boundary of the city, two German
neighbors of the town of Wood,
Herman Maukus and Herman Betcher,
met and entered into an angry dispute
over Mauku's dog which Betcher had
threatened to kill. Maukus had a shot
gun in his hands at the time. During
the war of words between the two hot
blooded men, the gun was discharged
and the charge of fine shot, of which
the gun was loaded, passing through
one of Betcher's wrists, shattering the
bones and tearing the flesh badly.
Whether the gun was discharged by
Mau1us with murder intent, or whether
it went off accidentally, is not known
as no witness was near enough to the
men to see or hear what was going on
between them. Each of the men give
a different version of the tragedy.
Betcher says that he was on the way to
his days work in the hub and spoke
factory when Maukus stepped from
behind tree at the roadside and pre-
sented the gun at his head, with the
words, 81 have got you now, you black
dog" at the same time pulling the trig-
ger, but he threw up his arms to guard
his face and head, receiving the charge
of shot in his wrist.
Maukus tells a different story. He
says he was out hunting his COW which
did not come home the night before
taking the gun along to Kill small game,
met Becher on the road, who commenc-
ed to call him names, and threatening to
whip him, at the same time catching
hold of the gun barrel with both hands
and trying to wrench it from his grasp;
the gun going off accidentally during
the struggle for its possession.

The New Orleans Medical and Surgi-
cal Journal for September contains an
extended notice of the discoveries and
experiments of DR.. F. B. Robinson.
The doctor is now becoming widely
known as a surgeon, and will soon
become still more widely noted by the
publication of his new book on Intestin-
al Surgery. He intends to go to
England in a few months to further
prepare himself in his special lines of
work. This will be his third course of
study in Europe. And before he ever
studied abroad he was an excellent
physician and surgeon; as the people
here among whom he practiced know.
Most professional men would have
ended their special studies with the
amount of instruction that he had
before he ever studied abroad. What
he is he has made himself Only a few
years ago he left the farm without
money and with but a common school
education. Since that time he has
worked himself through the State
University, through Rush Medical
College, through two courses of study
in Europe, and is Professor of surgery
in Toledo Medical College and known
among the medical profession through
out the country. An example of what
perseverance and push can do for a
poor boy in this American Republic!

Observation-Disclosures.

The residence of S. c. Darlington,
Centralia, was aglow with merriment
and good cheer last Thursday evening,
the occasion being the marriage of their
second daughter Lavina to Mr.. III. E.
Pearson of this city, only few relatives
and friends being present. Both of
these young people are well and favora-
bly, known in the twin cities, and in
their union the citizens have only one
wish and that is, that their lives may be
made prosperous and happy thereby.
Miss Lavina was reared in Centralia
and grew up to be one of the favorites
among the young people. Mr.. Pearson
has been in this city for several years
and has won a warm place in the hearts
of our people. He has charge of the
telephone exchange, United States
Express office, and is agent for several
fire insurance companies in which he
gives general satisfaction.
The young couple took their depart
ure Friday morning for Appleton and
Milwaukee where they will visit rela-
tives and friends.

A Boon for Suffering Women,

If there are times in life that try mems souls,
there are also times that try women's souls. AS
womans organization in general is more
delicate than mans so she has special functions
of a far more delicate character, which render
her much more liable to arrangement and
disease, and which require much more skillful
and careful treatment. No class of diseases
tests physicians skill or a medicines efficacy
more severely than Female Diseases! No 1nedi-
cine has ever proved more successful in the cure
of such diseases than Peru-na. In that most
trying of periods which every middle-aged
woman must pass through, Pe-ru-na has proved
a true boon to the sex. 81 had beena great
sufferer for three years. writes MISS. Smith,
of Hillsville, Pa. II had given up all hope,

Joseph Livernash while on his way
home from City Point to Scranton Mon
dav evening was attacked by three Win
nebsgo Indians who after desperate
resistance robbed him of a jug of fire
water he carried in his hand. After
securing their booty they hid in the
bushes where they imbibed freely and
gave vent to their feelings by incessant
war whoops, when some unknown
person approached them and fired
several shots into them with shot gun
filling their skins full of fine shot which
had rather quieting influence on their
merry war dance. One of them is quite
severely injured while the others are
only slightly wounded

WOOD COUNTY FAIR OPENS AUS
PiCIOUSlY.

Tuesday was the opening day of the
Wood County Fair, given under the
auspices of the A. & NJ. Association.
So great is the American habit of pro-
| crastination that it is generally under
stood that when an event is to occupy a
week it will not begin until the second
day. Tuesday, therefore, was generally
understood to be day of preparation,
and many men and teams we're busy on
the fair grounds arranging the stock
and putting the finishing touches upon
what, under the beautiful weather In
store, must prove a successful fair.
During the day exhibitors were busy
arranging their displays and there was
a general atmosphere of business about
the people at work in the art building
and grounds. Nearly every stall was
filed with stock. Jacob Lutz & Bro.
had eleven head of Jerseys, seven COWS,
one bull and three calves. Two colts
one five and the other three years old.
L. NJ. Nash has Clysdale mare with
a sucking colt by her side which attracts
considerable attention. A shorthorn
bull which weighs 1850 pounds; one
COW and yearling, short horns; five
head of Cotswold sheep; seven head of
Victoria pigs and three trios Plymouth
Rock chickens, all of which are first
class.
viii Conway, of Rudolph, has one
and two year old colts which are
remarkably large and attractive.
B. Smith of Milladore, has Oh exhibit
ton three head of horses, one, two and
three years old. Common horses.
Patrick Nash, of Sigel, has beauti-
full Holstein bull entered which calls
forth many complimentary remarks.
The art building was all in commotion
the exhibitors all busy arranging their
displays which will certainly be equal if
it does not surpass those of former
years.
The race track is reported to be in
good order and large number of
entries in all races. There is reason to
expect good races.
The whirl-a-gig, lunch counters and
refreshment stands, and few fakirs are
on hand i'll full force ready for the
| harvest. Messrs. Will Gross and A. w.
Rumsey each have stands on the
grounds well stocked with confection-
cry, etc.
Agricultural Hall has fine selection
of vegetables which would do credit to
associations of larger pretensions than
this. While the writer was on the
grounds Tuesday afternoon every
! department was in commotion and we
were unable to gather such Information
as we wanted and thereforU will forego
a more minute descriptions of exhib-
its until our next issue. The Secretary
informed us there were about 500

ADDRESS YOUR LETTERS PROPERLY AND
THEREBY ASSIST IN TRANSMISSION
OF MAIL MATTER.

Over six million pieces of mail matter
ale sent annually to the dead letter
Office by reason of incorrect, illegible,
or deficient address, insufficient post
age. insecure inclosing, whereby
matter mailed becomes separated from
the envelope or wrapper, or the failure
to be called for or delivered to the
person addressed. This is a daily
average of over twenty thousand
pieces.
Of these the greater portion either
are not called for at the post office to
which they are directed, or, in case of
free-delivery Offices, the addresses
cannot be found, Notwithstanding every
known means is resorted to on the part
of the postal officials to effect delivery.
Matter sent to the dead letter office,
which cannot be delivered to the
person addressed, is required to be
opened in its treatment for the purpose
return to the sender, and if the name
and address Of the sender be not shown
or cannot be ascertained from the
contents, and it contains no valuable
inclosure, it must be destroyed
Letters opened and found to contain
any inclosure Of obvious value are
entered upon proper records, and, of
such, those which do not disclose
sufficient information to enable them to
be returned are filed, subject to reclaim
alton upon proper application and
Identification.
Letters which contain no inclosure of
obvious value are not recorded.
Packages and parcels are recorded,
and where they do not disclose the
name and address of the owner are
filed; if not called for or claimed
within two years they are disposed of
at public auction and the proceeds
covered into the United States Treas
ury.
A large proportion Of the packages
and parcels sent to the dead letter
office fail to be restored to the owners
because of the absence on the wrappers
or Enclosures of anything to indicate
ownership thereof.
Information as to the character and
nature of the matter thus received at
the dead letter office, and the conditions
and influences which occasion its failure
to reach the persons to whom the
senders designed it to 60 may be of
interest, and the mere statement of it
carry with it suggestions which may
serve the public in it's exercise of postal
privileges.
Of the unclaimed and undehvered
mail matter received at the dead dead Letter Letter
office during the past fiscal year, four
hundred and ffty-one thousand were
letters misdirected, or only partially
addressed. Ninety-eight thousand were
letters to domestic addresses, "held for
postage" One hundred and sixty-fve
thousand were letters mainly addressed
to persons in care of hotels. Forty two
thousand were fictitious addresses.
Eighty thousand were parcels of mer-
chandise, books, clothing, needle-work,
jewellery, etc.
A large proportion were those upon
which the required amount of postage
to entitle them to transmission through
the mails had not been prepaid, insuffi-
cient payment being due to improper
1nclosing, whereby higher rate of
postage was required.
