locked Up for Ktss,ur a pu,nter,

Emma R~ichenberry, of St. Louis, has
been forcibly detained at her home for
over three years by her parents. She
has been actually a prisoner that length
Of time, and has not been allowed to
leave her room. Up to July, 1887, the
girl came and Went with perfect free
dom. Some painters were at work at
that time on an adjoining house. One
day Emma's mother caught Il painter
kissing Emma and asking her to let him
come and see her. The old lady rushed
out and pulled Emma into the house.
That was the last time any one ever saw
the girl. Since then her room is locked
and the shutters tied, and no one sees
her.--Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

OH, THE PRECIOUS eAe,Es!
Although Their Mothers Arc Very Fo,
They Axe Sometlmes Careless.

Although Their Mothers Arc Very Fond
They Are Sometimes Careless.
Oh. the precious babies! What is a
homo without one? Yet, notwithstand-
ing they are so dear to the human heart
their fond mothers are at times very
careless of their dimpled little treasures.
This is shown every day in the week,
Sundays excepted, at some of the big
retail dry goods stores.
Perhaps mamma wishes to do some
shopping, and the servant has been given
IAN afternoon Off"
1t is too fine q day to remain indoors
so mamma puts her darling into its
wickerwork carriage and trundles it
down town to plunge herself into the sea
of bargains.
Of course she cannot take baby, cart
and all into the store. Baby must be
left outside, and there he lies in his
perambulator, sometimes contentedly,
sometimes not. Usually, however, baby
is asleep when mamma enters tho store
and leaves her cherub in the big arched,
rotundalike doorway.
Mamma seldom seems to imagine that
there are kidnapers stalking through
the land and that her darling may be
stolen.
The other day ayoung mother entered
a large store in Fulton street, Brooklyn,
leaving her sleeping infant outside in its
carriage. She had not been gone more
than twenty minutes when baby awoke.
Scores of strange faces were around him
and he was frightened by the hum of
many voices. Up went his under lip
and the sensitive little fellow began to
sob. Soon his sob became a cry, which
quickly developed into an ear rasping
squawl. Men got out of the range Of
sound with alacrity, while women only
paused long enough to say, "Poor little
thing!" and then passed on.
Finally a sympathetic, matronly look
ing woman stopped in front Of the wee
but noisy boy. For a moment she re-
garded him in silence and then tenderly
lifted him in her arms and nestled his
plump form close to her bosom.
100 is somebody's little totsey wotsey,
90 poor little 6ng, 90 is" she said sooth-
ingly. "Dere, dere, deary, don't 90 ky
any more. Mamma will come back"
Instantly the crying ceased, but it was
for an instant only. Baby unscrewed
his eyelids. which before had been tight.
ly closed, and gazed in speeches. won
der at the strange woman with an un-
translatable vocabulary.
One glance vas enough for him. The
next moment he was making moro noise
than before. With the most modern and
highly approved baby lingo the unfor-
tunate woman tried to comfort him, but
her every effort was in vain. Still the
baby squawled. The situation was be-
coming desperate, when suddenly the
child's mother fastened to tho spot and
took the shrieking y%oungster from the
woman's grasp.
"Ruben, Ruben, my own sweet love,
what is the matter, matter, matter? Tell
your mamma, mamma dear. There,
there, there, t-h-e-r-e'-
And the baby stopped crying, put his

and calmly submitted to being returned
to his nest in the carriage.
That child knew his mother and did
not understand foreign baby talk.-New

A Valuable Cat.

S. w. Kimball, of Presque Isle, has a
Maltese cat which is valued as much as
a horse and buggy. The other day,
while Nh. Kimball was away, the cat
came in from the barn and went to Mr..
Kimball's wife, and after 'mewing"
started to the barn again. This the
feline repeated three times, till at last,
to see what the cat wanted, Mrs. Kim
ball followed it to the barn to where a
colt was hitched, and there found the
horse tied SO securely that it could
scarcely move, and where, if it had re-
NAMED any great length of time, it
must have been severely hurt, if not
killed-Lnwiston Journal

COMMENCING Tuesday afternoon,
an examination of witnesses was
made by the state to secure evidence
for the arrest of saloon.keepers in
Dickinson. The examination was
conducted in star-chamber fashion
and very little is known of the infor-
nation taken. However, the general
supposition is that arrests will be
made within a few days. 1t was sur
prising to note some witnesses which
were called, and it was Il little funny
that some of those whom it might he

Trailing Skirts and White Stockings.
Fashion seems to be vibrating just at

are on the v of sweeping themselves
out of existence, and in evidence it is
quoted that as white hosiery and strap
shoes are certainly to be Worn, trailing

By Na,tonai Press Assooioti9n

ASPEN, Col, July ia horrible catas-
trophe occurred at Aspen Junction on
the Colorado Midland Ro at midnight,
.hat has filled many once happy homes
in this beautiful valley with desolation
and death.
A collision occurred between a Midland
locomotive and the hind coach Of the Sat
urday night excursion train running be-
tween Aspen ard Glenwood Springs The
soach load of people returning from the
Springs, where few pleas mt hours had
been spent, were suddenly plunged into
all the horrors of a frigbtful railroad ac-
oident, which resulted in killing two per-
sons outright, iunicting fatal injuries
upon five more and severely scalding and
burning six others.
Engineer Switzer of the excursion
train had run his train up to the water
tank at the junction for water. When
b. cking down to get on the main track,
a light engine shot out from the coal
chutes, which are located in such a way
as to conceal the engine tracks from
view of the tracks leading to the water
tank. The engineer on the light engine
thinking he could get out before the ex-
cursion train took the main track, made
| the attempt but struck the rear coach
| of the excursion train at the switch.
The force of the collision tore the
check valve from the engine and poured
scalding steam and water into the
wrecked coach load of passengers. Then
ensued scene of terror impossible to
describe The passengers were at the
mercy of the roaring, screeching monster
| at their side. Through the broken valve
torrents of scalding steam and water
poured ont upon the helpless victims.
or the 20 passengers in the car three
colored men, who were in the forward
compartment, were the only ones unin-
iured. Conductor Miller, with the train
crew and the uninJured passengers, inn
mediately began the work of rescue. A
| two-year-old daughter of Mr. Frank Ell
! lis, Of Aspen, was taken out dead. Miss
| Annie Phelan, of Cardiff, died 10 minutes
| after being rescued Mr.. and Mrs. Joe

AN AWAKENING
PENNSYLVANIA AND READ
ING SIDE BY SIDE.
EYES OPENING
More Direct Communication Be-
tween Shenandoah and Potts
vile on the Reading Railroad.
Lakeside to be Benefited.

The rumors published by the HERALD
last week regarding activity in railroad
circles affecting this section of the state ar4
confrmed by reports that seam to emenate
from an authoritative source.
1t is now announced that the Philadel-
phia Il Reading Railroad company will
build short line parallel with the Penn
sylvania Railroad to Guberton from
Frackville and to Shenandoah. The COM
pany has been holding back long enough
to see the advantage of line such as the
"PeDnsy" controls from this town to
Frackvile.
AS soon as the Philadelphia & Reading
completes this new line all its passenger
traffic rom Ashland, Girardyile, Maha-
noy Plane, Shenandoah and Mahanoy
City to Pottsyille will be sent via Track
vile.
Lakeside is soon to become a booming
place. All traffic from Hazloton to Ia
maqua and Philadelphia on the ne Halle
ton branch of the P. S 4. road will pass
! through that place.
1t is also understood that as soon as the
present contract with the Philadelphia g.
Reading Railroad expires the "Pennsyn
will lay line of its own from Frackville
to Wetherill junction.
This activity in railroad circles carries
with it indications that should greatly en-
courage our people. 1t means new outlets
for the coal and a general activity that
must revert to the benefit of the people of
Shenandoah and other towns north-of-the-
mountain. 1t means that good times are
ahead and, with patience, the people may
yet be able to regain what they have lost
for so many months.
Together with this we have at home an
additional indication of approaching good
times All the collieries in this district are
now working steady and, for the first time
in many years, there is a scarcity of labor.
Now let our home people awaken to a
realization of their own interests. Let
them loosen their purse strings and do q
little more to help themselves. Let them
prepare for the increased railway facilities
to be established and establish boom that
will result in industrial benefit to the town,
Independent of the collieries.
