A Sleep walking Sunday School Tcache,

A Sleep Walking Sunday School Teacher.
a young lady of this place who is
treasurer of q mission band III one Of our
Sunday schools, and who had about
five dollars of the bands money in her
possession, quietly performed "a feat the
other night that was quite dangerous.
The lady referred to arose at a late hour,
dressed herself, went to the bureau
where she had placed the five dollars
and took it to a little room in the house
which the family did not occupy. Gath
erirg together a few old skirts she wrap
ped the money up in them and then Sc
curely tied it with a string and placed it
in a dark, hidden corner.
After this was accomplished she went
into her brothers room, took his loaded
revolver and started for the yard. 1t is
not known just how long she was out of
doors, but the next morning the revolver
was found in a barrel at the rear of the
lot. When the revolver was discovered
in the barrel it dawned upon the young
lady that perhaps some person had been
in the house and taken her mission
money, and she quickly ven to the
bureau where she had the money con
cealed. On reaching the drawer she
found that it had disappeared. A thor
ough search was given and the money
found in the place above mentioned

SIZED UP AS A HUSTLER.
He Proved Quite Harmless, However
Notwithstanding His Appearance.

notwithstanding His Appearance.
He had on a cowboys hat-he had
long hair and fierce black eyes-there
was a claw from the foot of a grizzly
bear dangling from his watch chain.
You could size him up only in II way

a dozen Of them. II he hadn't fought
Indians and stood up to the bad, bad
men Of the far west, then his looks be

tiOus man, as all nervy me are. he
was reading a dime novel, as all game
men do when they travel. Now and
then he felt down the back of his neck
to see if his bowie knife was cuddlng
up to his spine in a proper manner, and
now and then he reached down to his
boot legs to see that his cargo OF re-
volvers hadn't shifted.
Three or four Of us, after taking plenty
of time to size him up, decided to ask
him how and where he got the wound
which had left the scar clear across his
left cheek. 1t looked like the work of
Sitting Bulls tOmahawk, but we wanted
the particulars. So it was agreed hat |

"Oh! Perhaps You were in a western

n Remarkable Funeral.

james Johnston. the man whose back
was broken last SUMNER by being thrown
from a hand car on the Beech Greek rail
road, died on Saturday at his home, neal
k:yler's mill. Johnston was buried by
the township o~verseers OF the poor. The
circumstances attending the burial are
noteworthy on account Of the difficulties
attending it. JOhnston's house is on the
right hand of Moshannon creek, in a
Wild, lonely spot, remote from other
houses and almost inaccessible.
The only approach to it is by a narrow
rickety foot bridge which spans the
creek, which ON Saturday was swollen
by the recent rains to a raging torrent.
The coffin had to be carried across the
bridge, and the task, after several at
tempts, was accomplished by making a
harness of straps fastened to each end OF
the coffin and buckled around the shout.
ders of two men, who by clinging to the
single handrail succeeded in getting
across, although the frail bridge swayed
and sank with their weight until the
swift current splashed over it.
After the body was placed in the cot,
hn the men started back. They found
that with the additional weight of the
corpse the bridge would not bear them
and, after several Intellectual attempts
to carry it over, they finally got it over
by rigging a harness to the stoutest man,
who then dragged it over with much
difficulty and peril.
There was no minister present, nc
mourners and no funeral services were
held owe the poor fellows body.-Phila.

Hunting with Trained Bald Eagles.

An Indian boy belonging to the Sioux
tribe has a pair Of pets which are not
only strange and interesting, but are
useful as well. These are two large bald
eagles.
The young Indians are fond of hunt
ing, but are not allowed to own or carry
guns, and the result is that they are
compelled to use the bow and arrOW.
which they use with great expertness.
The boy shot an old eagle and wounded
it. 1t few to its nest, and he followed
until he saw where the home of the bird
was. He then killed the wounded bird
and waited until its mate appeared and
also killed it.
Climbing to the nest he found two
young ones, which he took home with
him and began a course of training
which has resulted in his having the
birds SO fully under control that they
come and go at his command. He takes
them out, and when he sights any quar-
ry he turns his eagles loose, after fasten-
ing their beaks SO that they cannot eat
the animal, and the birds Immediately
give chase and bring down the prey.
The eagles are now about a year and a
half old, and are large and strong enough
to bring down a fawn.
The boy is the most successful hvlter
of the tribe, and never goes out without
bringing home some game, from a rab-
bit to a deer. The officers at this place
want the eagles, and have offered the
boy what probably appeared to him to
be fabulous SUMS for them, but he stead
lily refuses all Offers.-Cor. Boston Globe.

A BUSINESS MANS OPINION.
Build the Viaduct and Restore Public
COnfidence-Empry Houses.

EDITOR JOURNAL. l believe the
present city council was elected upon
distinct issue based upon a pledge
of permanent public improvements
The mayor, in both his annual re-
ports to the common council dis
tinctly pledged himself to promote
such enterprises. The council has
taken the first step to redeem its
pledge. 1t is believed the mayor
may also do something to advance
public improvements, when the
time comes for him to act. THE
JOURNAL believes it is the duty of
this administration to see that war :
rants drawing high rate of inter-
est are taken up, and bond at a
lower rate of interest. This would
adjust city finances, and bring order
into present disorder and effect quite
a saving to the city. In its course
toward the Milling Co., the council
has undoubtedly alienated the friend
ship of that company to such an
extent as to prevent employment of
many persons. If the company
operates mill anywhere ia the val
ley it will not be in Salem. If
the council had acted right this
should be the last place where they
would shut down, and where they
should be encouraged to not only
run every day possible, but start
other enterprises.
Il the council will go ahead in
goo | faith, adjust its finances and
build the vIaduct it can recover lost
ground and take step to restore
public confidence to its good inten-
tions. If no permanent improve
ments are undertaken l predict
there will be hundreds of empty
houses here where there is now not
a score, an they mostly in North
Salem, which would be occupied
and new ones building if the mills
were running. A word to the wise
etc. BUSINESS.

The opera house Friday evening
will uo doubt be crowded by our
fashionable theatre goers to witness
the interesting play Of Captain
Swift. The Daily Advertiser, sept.
8, says of the play: If there Is any
thing-and there undoubtedly is
something-in a good beginning,
the present session at Miners
theatre should be great success.
The audience which assembled
there last evening to enjoy the open
ing of the fourth season with the
melodrama, "Captain Swift" was
both numerous and appreciative.
The scene of the play is laid entirely
in England, and the events are
represented as occurring at the
present time. Captain Swift, a dar-
ing Australian bushranger, having
perpetrated bold bank robbery,
disappears FROM @ ieensland and
appears In London under the name
of Wilding, handsome and enter
tanning advepturer, scheming to
maintain place in good society.
Mr.. Arthur Forests presentation
of the character of Wilding is su-
perb, AMI his admirable acting
gains not little from his handsome
presence and graceful manpers.
