The Tunnclton Troupe.

We had the pleasure Of attending
he entertainment Mt Tunnelton
last Friday night given by the
Tunnelton Little Wonders under
the management of Mr. Will West.
All Of the pieces were new and most
OF them very well rendered, the on
ly fault was lack OF time in prepar-
ing them. The entertainment wa,
given ia the school house. A stage
had been erected and considerable
prepa atoms made. The house was
crowded and tho applause hearty.
The rendition of america" and
the singing Of the old ballad Hang
up the Babys Stocking" by the en-
tire tr.upe was vory good and the
closing tableaux was beautiful and
grand. The troupe is now compo-
sed Of thirteen, seven girls and six
boys. Prof. West will return to
Scranton, Pa. in short time and
will go from there to his home in
England, some time during the
present year. lie will leave behind
him many friends who will regret
to see him 80 and wish him well

Uncle Johnny Albright is still

proved greatly, and he looks now
like he might live to be a hundred

The people DO not believe the
Mckinley outrage reform at all,
but regard it as an open, bsrefaccd
robbery, and its doom is already
sealed. Public opinion is educated
on this great subject, and the PEG
pie know which side OF their bread
is buttered
We are surprised to see that the
Republican papers OF the State are
greatly alarmed for fear the Demo.
cratic Legislature will so gerryman
der the State as to make it solidly
Democratic. Why, bless their
small sonls OF them, the Democrats
don't need to do this when the State
is solidly. overwhelmingly and for
ever Democratic anyhow. Besides,
when did the Republicans ever re-
fuse scheme of this kind when
they had n chance? Their recent
record counting out Democratic
Congressman is enough to condemn
the party forever.

We hear that there were two
quiet weddings inthis vicinity since
We last dished up the "gab and
gossip of our city for you. The
first was on Thursday night. when
Rev. j. w. Smith performed the
rites for Mr.. | G.. Armstrong and
Miss Ida B. Fike at the residence of
the brides father. Samuel Fike.
The other couple was William ID.
Glover, of Hszleton. and Miss Eli,
NJ. Schrock. of this town. They
were married at the brides home on
Sunday. We did not learn who the
officiating minister was nor tie
hour.
We are informed that o. +. Nc
Kce and wife will leave here in the
early spring.
Shedding. sleighing and coasting
has been good for some time. and
has been enjoyed by the young
folks. The young folks were coast.
ing en- mGssc on Thursday night.
Miss Il. j. Liston, our teacher,
entertained number OF hor pupils
on Thursday night. The evening
vas spent very agreeably. Games
and conversation carried time on
fleet wings, and it was parting time
before anyone thought of it. Miss
Lis'ou is becoming very popular
not only with her school, but with
the people in general.
The Journal correspondent has
been taking our name in vain again.
This time our sin is that We failed
to publish the fact that we had not
been told that "Barkis was willln' ."
and consequently was IN mourning.
Now the reason we did not do this
WAS that we try to give news and
anything that we think would be of
! Iterest to the readers, and we are
not quite vain en- ough to think that
the color Of our dresses or the style
OF bonnet would be that.
This same correspondent, very
estimable gentleman in many re
spectS, has one fault, and that is
poking his beak into things that
don't concern him. He has SAID.
so we hear, That he does not care
to write to a paper unless he can
draw some one into controversy.
We don't intend to do that, az we
bear him no malice and smiled rery
audibly when VIC read his item, but
~ be called the attention Of the
people TO our mourning, we would
like TO look as we'll as we can. and
rs he is so liberal Of his flvors to
us, we want him to shake the anvil

The switchmen's Strike Broken.

PEORIA, Ill, Aug. 24-The backbone OF
the big switchmen's strike, which has
utterly demoralized business in Peoria for
a week, was broken yesterday. The Red
express, due here from st. Louis at
O'Clock, carried two extra cars with men
who came here to take the strikers places
They are all brawny, stalwart men, who
have the appearance of fighters, and as
the officials armed each one of them with
a revolver and deputy sheriffs' powers the
strikers did not modest them. At noon
fourteen switch engines were moving,
and the work of cleaning up the badly
blocked yards will go on rapidly.
