The Flag Raising

The raising of flags on our public
school buildings by the T.. o. s. OF
A. on Friday Of last week was sue
cessfully carried out as advertised
and in tho evening the pupils OF our
public schools gave q most enjoy
able little entertainment in the court
house. They were followed by Rev.
Moorhead, who delivered a most
thoughtful and entertaining address
on the great questions Of the day.
He is keen observer, an omnivor-
Gus reader, and the possessor Of q
most retentive memory. In fact Mr..
Moorhead has mind ok his own.
He never takes anything Yor grant
cd, but after thoroughly acquainting
himself with the subject, he renders
his verdict in plain language-pay-
ing little attention to word painting,
for he has the gift of language, and
devotes his entire attention to the
dissecting of the subject before him.
He opened the doors to a number of
important national questions and
lead his hearers to the portal where
he bade them stop, and look, and
think, and before they were half
through he had them looking in an
entirely opposite direction at a ques-
ton of an entire different nature but
of equal Importance to our country's
prosperity. He is one of the most
entertaining and instructive speak
ers we ever heard.

A Genuine Bear Story.

One night last week Hiram and
John Waite, of Waterstreet, Hun
tingdon county, went to Il neigh
boring mountain for coons. Nei-
ther of the boys is over 16. They
carried n double-barreled gun and
were accompanied by dog. The dog
soon tracked coon, which led the
boys a merry chase almost to the top
Of the mountain, where it was freed
VI ti's 9S-, Hiram, the elder of the
boys. eJfiippts ;o Je gun on his back
and started to climb the tree. He
had assembled only about ten feet
when large black bear appeared on
the scene. Hiram jumped to the
ground and with his brother start
ed on n run for their home about
half & mile distant. The bear, which
had killed the dog at one blow of its
paw, started after the boys down the
mountain. The boys were too
frightened to attempt to show their
pursuer fight and so they continued
to run. The bear gave the boys Il
close chase until they reached home,
when they succeeded in getting into
the door Just as the bruin came up.
Mr. Waite aroused by the boys cries
soon ascertained the trouble and
with farm hand he attacked the
bear with an AK and killed it. The
bear was a full grown female and
weighed l70pounds.- Tyrone Times

A Week in Camp.

Ed. PosT. last week / had the
pleasure OF camping out with II most
congenial party, of Union county
folks, viz Martin Reed, wife, and
son Tom, Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde Stitz-
or. Daniel Moss aud wife, and son
Jimmie, MIR. and Mrs. Steadman,
Charles Sitter and Will Moss. Our
tent was pitched at Laurel Run,
four miles east of Woodward, in
Penns Valley Narrows. We named
it mid Mountain Camp being To-
Gated at the junction of three hugh
mountains. The country is full of
small game, and the skill of our hun
ters never left the pot empty of
game. We had quite number Of
visitors in camp during the week
who added greatly to the pleasures
of tho occasion.
We all longed for an adventure
and we got it before we left for
home. 1t came in the shape of II
"bear." The men had all gone out
hunting leaving the ladies alone in
camp. All of Il sudden one of tho
ladies espied black object in the
thick brush. She saw it move, and
at once sore amed "a bear W This
was the signal for general stampede,
and, of course, we all ran, but were
soon called back. The bear turned
out to be a member Of our party
whom we called patti" The week
was one of unalloyed pleasure, and
will be treasured as one of the most
pleasant recollections of a life time.

TROXELVILLE

DR.. Miller has moved into the
house occupied by Tillie Henley
and has his Office i'll David Mattern's
'es'dence. The story circulated
that "A human Iivilt. ,,s.G ,,'"'' '"uni
several miles east OF this pace and
that DR. Miller had it in his posses
sion has no truth in it. This is the
way the story started: Thomas }.
Weikle, who owns and resides on
the old Michael Meyer mill property.
III company with another man, found
several locks of human hair under
stone somewhere above the mill
dam. This was enough for some
people-such as the world is full of.
Here some one ''chipped in and
asked, but how did these hair get
there ?" Well, Thomas Jordan
comes forth and explains it pretty
clearly. Everybody that knows "der
oldt Tom Yardon' knows that he
has habit of letting his hair grow
to n considerable length before hay
ing it cut. Well, Tom says that
several years ago he got his hair cut
and his whiskers shaved off and then
placed the hair under n stone in that
vicinity and in all probability this
is his fleece, and the mystery is re-
vealed Tom, you were misin-
formed when somebody told you
that the Booneys killed eleven wild
turkeys last Monday. They killed
only three Amos III. Herman gave

was too close and had already iden-
titled the smart fellow, and knows
exactly who he is. Mr.. Schrader
gave me his name, which will with
hold on condition that he will com.
ply with Mr.. Schrader's demands,
which are as follows That the fel-
low will como forward and pay full
value for the turkey, and promise on
his word of honor never again to en-
ter upon Mr.. Schrader's land for
the purpose of hunting or any other
unlawful act. III he refuses or ne
elects for period Of fifteen days to
comply with the above demand he
will be dealt with according to law.
Mr.. Schrader is whole-souled, big.

opinion, shows too much mercy foi
such an individual. He should
make pretty example of him, and
it may put stop to such hunting.

How To Keep Apples.

The keeping of apples during the
winter largely depends on the mode
of handling them when they are
harvested. Apples that have fallen
to the ground have become bruised
TO some extent. and VIII sooner or
later begin to decay. SSch apples
should be made into cider, for
vinegar, without delay. Apples
that are to be stored should be
picked from tho tree and handled
carefully, so as not to permit of the
slightest injury to n single one, it
being well known that where one
rotten apple is in the barrel the
others are liable to rot sooner than
if all are sound.

CELEBRATION.
MEETING OF THE DEMONSTRATION COM
MIrTEE, LAST EVENING.
Invitations to Organizations to Take Part are
All Out and Responses Dssirsd-All the
Committees Called for Thursday Night-A
Proposition Which Comes Too Late.

Last evening the Committee on Street
Demonstration OF the proposed Fourth
of July celebration met at the rooms Of
the Chamber Of Commerce, Chairman
Baer presiding and Secretary Dinger,
Chief Marshal August Rolf being pres
emit.
Secretary Dinger reported that ne
had notified, as he believed, every or
ganization in the city Of Wheeling that
they were invited and expected TO turn
out on the morning of the Fourth, but
as yet responses have been few. But no
destinations had so far been received,
however. He said he had also address
ed letters of invitation to the police and
fire departments, to the Mayor and
Council, to all the principals OF the pub
lie schools, to the parochial schools, and
to the Linsly cadets. He thought no
one had been sighted. He was inform
ed that the pupils OF the public schools
were being prepared for the parade,
and he thought it would be big thing.
A general discussion OF the matter
ensued, during which it was stated that
the object was to have short parade,
say between Tenth street on the north
and Twenty.third street on the south,
and to have it over by eleven o'clock in
the morning, so those taking part could
go out to the Park at that hour. or as
soon thereafter as they might choose.
The Opera House band is engaged for
the Park for that day, and 1t is desirable
that 1t catch the eleven o'clock motor,
after the parade. 1t would otherwise
60 to the Park at nine o'clock, but the
Park management will give up two
hours of their time for the demonstra-
tion, provided the band catches the
eleven o'clock motor. 1t was reported
from the Music Committee that three
other bands could be obtained, also, so
there will be no lack of music. Secre-
tary Dinger said he had been assured
by Manager Wolff, of the Telephone
Company, and Manager Tracy, OF the
Western Union. that they could supply
enough wire to stretch along the side
walks from Sixteenth to Tenth streets,
on both Main and Market, thus keeping
the streets clear of people.
On the question of staff, Marshals,
ETC., Colonel Rolf requested that about
twenty names be submitted TO him at
the next meeting of the Committee, to
be held Thursday evening. He will
then make selection, and add such
names himself as may be necessary.
On the question of responses from or
ganizations invited to take part, 1t is
requested that verbal or written re-
sponses be sent to Secretary Dinger, at
No. SO Twelfth street, to-day or to-mor-
row, so that some intelligent idea OF the
size of the marching column may be OBJ
tanned.
1t was agreed, before adjourning, to
call the General Committee, the Finance
Committee, the Flreman's Committee,
the Music Committee and the Decora-
ton Committee for Thursday evening,
that there might be general discussion
Of the situation.

A LITTLE TOO LATE.

A telegram was received yesterday
from Mr.. Skiff, the representative Of
Mr.. Pain, stating that the Pain Com
pany would subscribe for $1,000 worth
of boxes for Pompeii, and would further
agree to redeem all unsold tickets out
OF the profts-no profits, no redemp-
ton. Had this prefer, which virtually
reduces the cost Of the production pay
able to Pain & Son, from $4,000 to
$1,000, been received twenty-four
hours earlier. the day might have been
saved, and the big exhibition secured,
but as it only came yesterday, it was
everlastingly too late, as the whole
matter had been dropped In disgust by
the gentlemen who were attempting to
get up the syndicate.

STRAWBERRIES PLENTIFUL
The Supply Being Received From the
Local Growers.

The Supply Being Received From tho
Local Growers.
There are plenty OF strawberries In
the local market at present. From all
indications, this seasons crop is good
one. Most or nearly all of the straw
berries being sold now, are those grown
along the Ohio river. The Barnesville
berry, which is said TO be the most sue
culent in the world, seldom reaches
Wheeling. as better market is provid'
ed in the West.
The bountiful supply OF the luscious
berry has had the effect OF cheapening
its cost. Dealers are selling berries by
the box at ten ceats, or three boxes for
quarter. 1t is not probable that
prices will drop much lower, and they
will remain to most people an article OF
luxury.

tered and sO1led Sioucn nat, Out scrupu-
lOusly neat as to his foot wear The
popularity, perhaps, arises from family
pride, besetting southern sin, coupled
with the belief that aristocracy is
evinced by the shape and size of the
feet. 1t is worthy of note, however,
that the southern SLOUGH hat is often a
costly article of the finest and most
durable felt. Such hat for winter
and costly and indestructible Panama
straw for summer are the proper head
gear for southern country gentleman.
One of the very best out-of-door
games for the country is golf, which is
the national game of Scotland The
links or ground on which it is played
is large area and may include hills
and hollows to make the game interest
ing. 1t is played with small balls of
rubber and peculiar driving sticks by
means of which the ball is sent over
long distances from one hole to another.
A skillful player may send ball two
hundred yards at time. 1t is more
generally played by men than by
women, but is capital exercise for any
one and most fascinating game. A

the golf.
