Randall Items.

RANDALL, May 29.-We had quite a
frost this morning but it is thought that
it did little damage.
The sick of this community are all
convalescent except Mr.. M. Shively and
w. l. Cox.
Hukill & Co. have leased Mr.. Reed s
land and part of the lands of VIM. Hall
and | understand they want body of
land running with these and parallel to
the old oil belt | have always believed
that there was an oil belt on this location
and now when Hukill & Co. put down
a well it will test it.
Well the University authorities are 60
ing to get Rutter's band to play for
Commencement. l have been urging
this for the last six years, annually
through the columns OF the New DoMIN-
ION, and at last my desire will be realiz-
ed. Not that have any grudge against
the Opera House band, because it is the
best band in West Virginia.
While / must admit that Rutter's Or
chestra is not as good as the Opera House
band, yet Rutter's selection of music is
much more pleasing to an American au-
dience, so that this will more than make
up for the difference in execution. But
when it comes to brass, Rutter leads ev-
erything in West Virginia and Western
Pennsylvania. Frank Rutter and his
brass band can create more enthusiasm
than any band | ever heard play.

One Hundred and Two Years Old.

Michael Hackers, of near West
Finley, Greene county, passed the
centennial mark nearly two years
ago, yet he is the source of much in
formation about the trying times of
eighty years ago. He relates with
exactness the hardships of the early
days of his county, when the women
had to do much of the ploughing
and help maui the rails. He says
that at one time in his life he could
have bought a great part of the land
on which the city of Allegheny now
stands for a horse. Hackers is
strong and his memory clear. He
has three daughters living, one of
them in Canonshurg and two on the
farm with him.-Connellsvttle Cour.

season, cream at 10 cents a pint;

particularly to the skinned milk.
This is mornings milk minus the
cream which is extracted by machin-
cry, leaving the milk fresh and
sweet and free from any possible
fault sometimes found in milk set
for hours in open vessels. This is
the cheapest food on the markell

for children or grown people. My
wagon will call each morning on all
who desire it. d. C. HOFFMAN.

TO END In DIVORCE.
Mr.. Bluestein and Wife Have Trouble
Wheeling Sport Party to 1t.

SIsTERvILLE, w. VA, May 26.-
There is likely to be some very sen
sational developments here in few
days in case in which Mrs. Blue
stein is a prominent party, as well
as her husband. Both of the parties
concerned are well known. Bluestein
published notice this week to the
effect that his wife had left him, and
it was charged that she had gone
away in company with we'll known
sport to Wheeling.
While in Wheeling the husband
had private officer watch her. At
ter thorough search of that city by
the officer, the erring wife was found
in a notorious resort
To-day the woman returned here
and was met at the station by the
husband. Everything seemed to be
all right until they arrived in front
of the Oil Well Supply Co.'s store,
when they commenced ouarreling.
After some very hot words the wife,
becoming, infatuated, rushed upon
her liege lord and commenced hit
ting and kicking him. The wife
now makes application for divorce
and also sues out a warrant to COM
pei her husband to keep the peace.

KILLED BY STRIKERS.
That is the Theory About Murdered
Man Found Near UniOntOwn.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, May 27.-Late
last night the body of an unknown
man was found by some boys in a
creek near Fayette station on the
Baltimore & Ohio road, ten miles
north of here. The body was horri-
bly, beaten, the head and face being
battered out of shape. The clothing
was nearly stripped off the body. On
the hill above where the body was
found the deputy coroner discovered
pieces of the dead mans clothing,
splashes of blood on the stones and
the club with which the man was
probably beaten to death. There
were evidences of a struggle in the
trampled weeds, and from this place
down to the creek was trail of
blood.
There is absolutely nothing to give
clue to the identity of the dead
man. The body was removed to Con-
nellsville, and an inquest was held
this afternoon. The corpse is believ-
ed by many to be that of workman
at the Hill Farm mines of the Dun
bar furnace company who was killed
by the strikers for "black Logging"
This is the more easily believed as
there are multitudes of men at work
who have been threatened by the
strikers with just such treatment.
Others claim he is deputy who has
been done up by the strikers. The
county detective has been placed in
charge of the case. From the APP
pearance of the corpse it has lain in
the creek couple of days.

The Farmers Happy Lot.

Chauncey M. Depew says that the
happiest man in the world to day is
the successful farmer. "He sits I'M
der his own vine and fig tree, undis-
turbed by maddening noise of the
city. Banks fail, railroads go into
the hands of the receivers, booming
towns collapse and all business stag
mates bat the wise farmer can snap
his finger at these things. He is
monarch of all he surveys on his
broad acres. The honesty of his boys
and the purity of his girls are guard
ed against temptation and in them
he has given the country its best
manhood and womanhood. The far
mer is to be envied and if he is not
contented with his lot he is lacking
in wisdom"

ing sermon, National Righteousness.
Evening: Life's Commencement. A
farewell sermon to students.
Rev. Mr.. Days sermon on the sub
ject "If Christ Came to Chicago" on
Sunday evening was unique. 1t was
not commendatory of some of the
practices prevailing in Chicago. The
contrast between the present state
of affairs and what would follow the
coming Of Christ to that wicked city
was very striking. The serman was
an interesting discourse.

How Texas Bicyclist Caught De.
parting Creditor.
Chicago Herald.

John A. Denny, of Tucson, Ariz.,
has been in Chicago the past week,
purchasing milling supplies. He is
passionate bicyclist, in country
where only the cactus interferes
with the progress of the wheel. But
he tells story of how the wheel is
used for business purposes in that
country that he thinks outranks any
adventure of his own.
"There is at Bisbee, Arizona, a
merchant of the name of Mckay" he
said, 'who has been troubled by hav-
ing customers borrow of him small
sums of money and then forget to re-
turn the same. After having lost
this winter several hundred dollars
in that manner, he made up his mind
that the next man who tried to get
the best of him would never forget
it. Mckay is a wheelman, rides a
safety and knows every inch of the
country for so miles about Bisbee.
In April he advanced to railroad
man of the town $50 without securi-
ty. On day in the early dart of May
he learned that the man had Just
taken the train for the East, gone
withsall of his belongings, and that
he might whistle for his so. The
train had been gone about Is min
utes when Mckay heard this. The
next station was 20 miles away, but
for the train upgrade the entire dis
lance and slow pull. Without
more ado Mckay jumped on his
wheel and took the trail for that sta
ton. He was favored by having
good portion Of the way, he went
down hill. He flew. He is tall,
gaunt man, and the spectacle he pre-
sented chasing that train was said
to have been most edifying. But he
reached the station first, boarded the
train as it came found his man in the
smoker, dragged him out to the plat
form, gave him terrible pounding,
secured the $50 and returned home
as he had come. Loans are now So
licited from him only on the most
approved security

hayneSourS hePupAcan.
Miss Katie W. Hill, daughter of
tbs wellknow postal clerk, James
A. Hill, of this place, left on the 3:15
train Friday afternoon for a journey
somewhat suggestive of romance.
Several years ago while ex-Congress-
man Morgan r. Wise, formerly of
this place, but now of Washington,
d. c. was living in Nogales, Ariz.,
Miss Hill, then but a maiden, went
from her Waynesburg home to live
with Mr.. and Mrs. Wise, her grand
parents. While there she met Mr..
James A. Harrison, young man,
who won her affections, and soon
were engaged to be married. Miss
Hill was too young to marry then.
She returned to Waynesburg some
eighteen months ago, aad kept up a
correspondence with her faraway
lover. Her parents consent to a
marriage was finally gained, and ar
rangements were made whereby Mr..
Harrison will meet his bride at
Deming, New Mexico. where the
wedding will take place. A recep-
ton was given her at Pittsburg,
where she has many friends and rel
atives, and from whom she received
many valuable presents, leaving that
city at 2:l0 Sunday morning for the
west. She was accompanied as far
as Pittsburg by both her parents,
her father going with her to Kan
sas City. Mr.. Harrison, who is in
fair circumstances financially, is a
Wells & Fargo express agent at
Lordsburg, New Mexico, town of
about 5000 inhabitants, on the
Acheson, Topeka d Santa Fe rail-
road, where he has prepared coy
little home for himself and bride.
They will go to housekeeping at
once.
Miss Hill, who is hut IL years of
age, is not only an accomplished
musician on the piano and guitar,
but fine singer She has always
been a favorite among the society
people of this place, and her absence
will be deeply felt. by her many
friends. Katie is one of those good
hearted, generous girls, always hap-
ing a kind word for everybody, and
will, no doubt, do her part to make
her home happy one. And to them
we extend our hearty congratula-
lions.

THE MAYOR WAS BEATEN.
Aud the Landlord Lost His Character as
Truth Teller.
Memphis Commercial.

deHpulS commercial.
A Memphis man vouches for the
truth of the following election story
"a number of years ago l was liv-
ing in certain Mississippi town.
The mayor of the place and myself
were boarders in the same house.
The mayor was a man who loved his
own way, and when election day
rolled around great many people
thought that now was a good time
to teach his honor that he was not
the only man in town. Our landlord
of course, wanted to be pleasant to
his boarder, and was profuse in ex-
pressions of fealty to his cause 1t
turned out that the mayor only re-
ceived one vote for re election. He
came home, where the news of his
defeat had preceded him, naturally
somewhat disgruntled and out of
sorts. The landlord at once began to
offer consolation of the sort that is
common ON such occasions, telling
the mayor that he would live to come
again, and at some election in the fu-
ture would put his enemies to rout
and be triumphantly elected.
:" Il did all l could for YOU con-
cluded the landlord, i voted for you
myself
+" you are an internal liar reared
