A Stolen horse Recoyered.

On the 4th instant a stranger
brought horse to this place and
sold it to Joseph McElfresh, of Pal
atine. Mr.. McElfresh hesitated to
buy it, fearing it was stolen proper,
ty, his suspicious having been arous-
ed by the low price asked for it-$30.
He told the stranger that he did not
look like thief, yet he believed he
had stolen the animal The strang-
err merely laughed and insisted on
Mr. McElfresh making the purchase
saying that If he did not sell to him
he would to some one else-that he
was out of money and had no use
for the horse. Mr.. McElfresh final
ly gave the man his price. In few
days thereafter our friend, the pur-
cher, say a description of stolen
horse in Waynesburg, Pa, newspa-
per. Jesse Phillips, who lives near
Waynesburg, was the owner of the
missing animal. Mr. McElfresh says
a glance at the description satisfied
him the horse in his possession was
the property of Mr.. Phillips, and he
therefore Immediately telegraphed
the latter to come and get his prop
erty. Mr.. Phillips arrived on Mon
day, and when shown the horse
wanted to make oath to the owner
ship. Mr.. McElfresh said this was
unnecessary-that he knew the an
imal belonged to Phillips as soon as
he saw the notice of the thief in the
Waynesburg paper 1t is plain to be
seen that Mr.. McElfresh acted very
fairly and squarely in the natter
West Virainiaa.

The World Coming 70 an End.

IL not, then can you explain the
following? Ex-Speaker Reed in his
speech delivered in Congress on Aug.
10th, says.
Il do not undertake to raise any
question as to whether the system
of protection is a wise one or not.
l do not undertake to dispute the
proposition on the part of the dem
ocracy that protection is a tax,
wicked and iniquitous. For this
purpose, | am quite free to admit
that protection is a fraud and that
virtue resides only in revenue tar
iff."
The Toledo Blade is also prepar-
ing for the judgment day. In dis
cussing the silver question it says
in its last issue: Every one knows
that improved machinery and the
facilities of transportation have
brought down the prices of all we
consume" Oh! but last fall we dem
ocrats made that claim but such pa
pers as the Blade. Intelligencer and
other smaller fry, said sit was not so.
II was the protective tariff that low
cred the price of everything"
With such acknowledge meuts
from the greatest statesman in the
republican party and from one of
the foremost republican papers in
America, send the news to Billy
Mckinley of Ohio. DIV.

A Good Opening.

The enrolment at the University
is near 200 students, and they are
still drifting in.
Those who know about these
things say that the attendance will
be equal to the best in past years
Notwithstanding the hard times.
Students continue to drop in, as a
rule, for several days after the term
begins, and when the tardy ones are
here it is expected that the enroll
ment will equal that Of any other
year, if it does not surpass it.
In view of the financial condition
of the country, and other things that
have tended to diaparage the inter
ests of the University, this is an ex
ceedingly satisfactory showing.
But the ambition of those in charge
of the University should not stop
with reaching the maximum attend
ance of q past year That will do
for this year, but there ought to be
500 students in the University, and
they can be had if the proper means
are taken to get them. "The way to
resume" said Greeley, sis to re-
sumeN and the way to get students
is to go out and get them. They
are to be had for the pains of going
after them.

Stcwartstown and Vicinity.

STEwARTsTowN, Sept. 15.-The local
izer from this place, from some cause,
has failed to spread before the readers
of your paper the things done and those
not done for quite awhile.
Dry weather, shortage in the crops,
financial stagnation and other similar
bowls are heard on every hand, due of
course to Democratic legislation and
Grover Cleveland. Oh, that our intelli-
gent brother Republicans would take in
to consideration some Of the causes OF
hard times
This being the regular year for panics,
the ruined condition OF the National ma
chinery, the repeal of the silver purchase
act and other things which present them
selves before congress for consideration
at this time, Grover and the Democrats
have shown themselves to be able to
maintain the government and will in
time start everything to moving along
smoothly.
A series of protracted meetings has
been in progress at the Baptist church
has been manifested and several CONVEX
sions. Rev. Longanecker has preached
some as able sermons as were ever spo-
ken out of the pulpit here. He is an
earnest and daring worker and deserves
the success which attends his labors.
Rev. L. A. McNemar, the new minis
ter on this circuit, has moved into the

Francis. The people in general join in

welcome.

A DISASTROUS FIRE
In South M0rgantOwn-RObe's Store
and Dwelling Entirely De.
StrOyed

A vigorous alarm of fire was rung
in the fire building on Sunday morn
ing about 2 o'clock that brought out
the people en- masse. A brightlight
in the South attracted every one to
South Morgantown where big fire
was raging. Before the firemen
could get there the frame building
used by Josiah Robe for store was
a heap of ruins including pretty
much everything in it and the two.
story frame dwelling just North of
it owned by Mathew Hennen and &C.
cupied by George Debolt was too
far'gone to save. There are no fire
plugs in South Morgantown hence
the best that could be done was to
make a connection with the plug
near Judge Dille's and carry the
hose across. The firemeh had no
trouble to confipe the blaze to the
buildings that were already burning.
Mr.. Robe had his house and stock
insured for $1,000. though that will
probably cover but little more than
half the loss. Mr. Hennen held
policy of 5000. on his house. A great
part of Mr. Debolt's household goods
were burned and the balance was
badly damaged in getting in out.
Carpets were jerked loore and torn,
bureaus, chairs, tables and scores of
other things were broben in the ex-
citement, and for shame be it said
considerable quantity was stolen. A
small sum of money that he had put
under his pillow upon retiring was
not found
