today they closed at S.32, which means
that cotton has enhanced In value since

ut is n fact that great prosperity can
only be realized when the farmer, mer-

cause of aiding each other TO the full

the crops of the country, that brings cash
TO the banker, who in turn aids the iner-

was then, Missoulu has grown Amazingly
since 1850, and many great actors and

INSTANT DEATH.
A Polander's Head Crushed Between n
Heavy Stone and Plank.

Last Monday morning Jacob Hem
ningcr, street commissioner, put FIVE
Polanders TO work on Fifth street, near
the STAR Office, where they had only
worked short time until Burgess Hays
como along and asked that one man bo
sent 10 help load stones near Hotel Bel
nap, where the stone had been hauled
several years ago for Frank A. McCon-
nell 20 build large addition 10 his
hotel. John Zetoiewski, n Russian Po-
lander, who had been In American over
one year and In Reynoldsville three
months, was sent 20 help Fred Burns
load stone 10 be hauled TO the cast end
Of the Main street iron bridge where II
new culvert Is being put in. The first
load had bccn hauled and IL was while
loading the second that the accident oc-
Cured. A short plank was used 10 roll
the stone onto the wagon and just NJ
they had n large one so near that an
other turn would have put II on the
wagon, Ietowiezki's foot slipped and he
fell with his head on an old plank lying
at the side Of the wagon and the heavy
| stone fell and crushed his head into n
| jelly from the eyes up. His face was
not disngurcd. Death was instant.
| His brains were afterward covered over
on the plank where they were crushed
out. The remains were taken 10 John
NJ. Hays undertaking rooms and were
prepared for burial and were left there
until eleven o'clock yesterday when
they were taken 10 the Catholic church
and from there to the Catholic cemetery.
AS soon as the coffin was put down be-
side tho grave the men stepped back
about ten feet and the women, thcro
were four or five, kneeled down and the
men sang.
Tho deceased was single man about
twenty-five years old. He has n broth
er-in-law here. The fellow had no
money and the borough poor oycrsocrs
expected 10 bury him, but his Polish
friends would not allow IL and they
raised II collection among themselves
and bought n good coffin and gave
him respectable funeral. There
seemed 10 be considered Indifference
manifested by his countrymon when
Zetowiezki was killed, but at the grave
there were many tears shed.

Shop-lifter Caught.

Monday afternoon young lady,
whose parents live within three miles
Of Rcynoldsvillc, came 10 town and en-
tered G. 9. Gibsons store and asked TO
see some slippers. Mr.. Gibson showed
her his stock Of slippers. The girl act
ed little suspiciously but purchased a
dollar pair and left the store. The
prOprietOr's attention was called 10 some
thing else for few minutes and then
ho went to put the slippers on the shelf
again. He found the box empty in
which the first pair of slippers had been
that the young lady looked at. Mr..
Gibson started out to look for the shop
litter, but failed TO find her. After
supper he walked out TO their home.
The father was not at home, but the
daughter and mother were there.
When the daughter saw the merchant
coming she had business at the spring
house. The merchant inquired for the
young lady and the mother called her,
but she only came part way to the
house and stopped. Mr.. Gibson made
known his business. The girl denied
having taken any only the pair paid for,
After whispered conversation between
mother and daughter, the old lady went
into the house and returned with the
cash for the stolen slippers. Mr.. Glib
son asked TO see the slippers, but the
girl declared positively she had left
them with her sister, who lives in
Reynoldsville. Mr.. Gibson thinks by
the GOODNESS and Indifference with
which they took the whole matter, thai

has been performed and that the OLE
lady 'winks' at it. The young lady
wore cape on Monday, which is very
handy for shop-lifting. The next time
we hear of such performance the par
ties names will likely be published Sc
that our merchants may know who
needs watching. Shop-lifters should bt
held up to public gaze.
