when the train arrived in Altoona he re-

Before leaving PittSburg he was the re-

out his pocket book and changed So for one

strangers pressed around their victim. ana
aS he got off the car deliberately held him
up and took his pocketbook out of his in
side vest pocket, and before he recovered
from his surprise, disappeared in the
crowd.
While in the waiting room in Altoona a
man entered and looked seriously around.
Seeing Nichols he made a hurried exit.

was pointed out To an officer aud taken in
To- custody. Nicholas positively identified

robbed him.
At the police station the prisoner gave
his name as Marcns Marshal and his resi-
dence as Cincinnati He had s}5.41 in cash
watch, and knife in his possession.

THE FARM HORSES.

1t is truer now than ever before
that no good farming is possible
without good working horses. The
original cost is much greater, but it is
only by their help that the full
advantage of efficient help can be
realized. Good farmers are the first
TO realize this. If the farmer be
himself lazy and inefficient he viii
naturally conclude that it does not
matter much what kind of horses he
works with. We are not wholly sure
he is not half right in his conclusion.
When we see a farmer blowing OF
doing other farm work with an old,
inefficient and perhaps half-starved
team it is proper enough to suppose
that such farmer understands his
business better than we can tell him
and knows best what kind of team
he wants to keep up with. OF course
the best teams grow old in time. bu
a horses active life is not half nor ,
third that of an efficient man, ant
when the team gets past doing full
days work it should be disposed o
and another secured that is fully capa
BILE. But if she loss from workin
inefficient teams were better under
/ stood it would be much harder to sel
old or poor horses than it is
Irrigation Age.

Some men can't possibly be civil

other people uncomfortable, probably
hoping to make converts as sour,
accommodating and useless to the

apologize for living, or the Supreme
Ruler ought to apologize for letting

Mr.. EDIToR:- Friday, May Goth,
1892; at an early hour in the morn

skulking about the streets Of your
beautiful and prosperous city. To a
close observer they had shame face,
hang-dog look about them that BODIED
no good to citizens Republican)
Of this county; in fact a casual glance
would have told you they were del
egates to the Democratic convention
TO be held in Salubria, and such they
were; and shortly afterward they were
on their way to that place.
1t is stated upon authority that they
had a very pleasant trip, the most
enjoyable part being the fact that
the roads were in supremely fine
condition, especially after reaching
Salubria valley where the mud was in
no one place over axle deep nor the
mud holes more than 23 rods apart.
1t was also stated upon authority
that they blessed(?) the county
fathers for having the wisdom and
foresight to build such good roads
for the accommodation of the public al
large and more especially themselves
One Of the features of the triI
was in Mr.. Harris stopping every
man, woman and child he met, ant
repeating poetry in an eloquent ant
awe-inspirng manner, which wa!
considered a every good sell. Herr
is sample of Mr.. Harris effusions
"Weiser lies on the banks Of the Snake,
Where you can see ducks without
drake,
And in the spring whenever ii rains,
You can see snakes and some cranes"

by the Salubriaites, and by the wa,

A cubic foot of pure gold weighs a
little over 1903 pounds. Even a
cubic foot of silver would be hand
some '1ift' for a stalwart man and,
in fact, not one man in ten thousand
could raise it from the ground by
lifting fairly with the hands. A
cubic foot of pure silver weighs q
trife less than $50 pounds, and there
are not many men who can lift SOC
pounds. Gold is not the heavies'
metal; platinum is heavier, a cubic
foot weighing 12183 pounds.
We have become so accustomed t.
the use of the cubic foot of pure golc
which we use on our desk as pape
weight. We publish this so that ou
friends will not so often bother us b,
asking its weight.
