Some Of the preachers "pull up stakes"
and go off on their vacation in summer,
but Satan continues to do business at the
old stand MeddUiile Star. This gag is as
ancient as 1t is incorrect. Satan is a regu-
lar patronizer of summer resorts. The
preachers go there to watch the wandering
members of their flock. The stay-at-
home sheep can he trusted to get along
we'll enough for while without a shep-
herd. Besides, their good behavior enti-
ties them to a rest.-Frdnklin Ne,CS.
Conductor VIM. Baughman, of Train 90,
the local freight which leases here at @
o'clock a. M, for up the river, was quite
severely pinched this forenoon between a
car and the engine while some switching
was being done at Hickory. He was given
a tight squeeze through the legs Just abo ve
the knees but no bones were broken. He
went up to Tidioute and came down from
there at noon to-day. He is feeling very
sore, but thankful that the accident was
not more serious.-Btzzdrd, July 20.
Here's a story from New Castle paper
that we don't begin to believe: A young
the young ladies of club for not getting
married. He said "I'll marry the girl of
your club whom, on a secret vote, you
elect to be my wife, Each girl went into
a corner and used great caution in pre-
pairing her ballot and disguised the hand
writing. Nine votes in all were cast, and
each girl received one. The man remains
n haphnlnr 70 olt nh 10 IL nd l,o
girls are no longer friends.
The following extract from charge to a
jury recently by Judge White, may be OF
importance to tho public: "The Office OF a
constable is ancient, his duties important
and powers large; his general duty is to
keep the peace, and for this purpose he
may arrest, imprison, break open doors
and the like; a constable may justify an
arrest for reasonable cause or suspicion
alone; put the prisoner in Jail and the
jailor must receive him. The power and
authority of policeman has been made
kindred to that OF a constable. A consta-
BILE or policeman cannot be arbitrary
and tyrsnnical; he cannot go into house
| just because he Is constable or police
man he cannot arrest a man on the street
just because he is such an officer. There
must appear to his mind at the time a
| public necessity for it. Notwithstanding
the theory that every mans house is his
castle, if bedlam is going on in there or a
disturbance is going on in the house and
the policeman sees it, he has right to go
in and break the door and get in; but he
must act with discretion
The following pathetic item from the
Franklin NeCS of Saturday, makes refer
ence to former Forest county teacher,
Supt. Hess having begun his pedagogic
career here: Willie v. Hess, aged l3, a
younger brother of County Superintend-
ent Hess, of Mercer, was killed on
Wednesday by choke damp in coal mine
on the Hess farm, two miles northwest OF
Sandy Lake. He and his brother, Flem-
| ing, aged 81, were lowered into tho mine.
AS they neared the bottom Fleming no.
ticed the foul gas and at once signalled to
those above to hoist them up. Fleming
threw his arm about Willie to hold him
up. That was the last thing he could re-
member. When the cage reached the top
he was lying unconscious and alone on
the bottom of the cage. Willie had fallen
from his grasp. An old miner named
Mccain made heroic effort to rescue the
boy, but failed, and was nearly dead when
hauled up to the surface. The body was
finally rescued by the use of graphing
hooks. The boys mother, who had been
lying ill with heart disease, died yesterday
morning just rs the funeral was about to
leave the house. She had not been in
| formed of her sons death.
