pies and eruptions from which many
suffer, indicates an impure state of the
blood. The most effective remedy is
Ayers Sarsaparila. 1t expels the pois-
on harmlessly through the natural chan
nels, and leaves the skin clean and
clear.
VIM. 7. Cox, assessor OF Winslow
township, was at Brookville Saturday
making his returns. The returns show
that there are $50 in the township sub
ject to military duty, or in other words,
between twenty-one and forty-six years
old, and there are $40 taxable residents
in the township.
BY the notice OF reward of 81 900,
offered by Bell & Lewis in the Courier
Saturday morning, for the detection,
apprehension and conviction of the
person or persons who set fire to the
company store at Dubois Sunday morn
ing, Jan. 9th, it is plain that the pro-
prietors of the store are of the opinion
Frank Miller says when he fed his
chickens Sunday morning two of them
did not get off the roost, and he thought
II they were not hungry enough to get
off the perch they might stay there. In
the evening when he went to feed his
fowls the same two remained on the
roost. He investigated the matter and
found they were petrifed, or in other
words frozen stiff.
Miss Minnie Whitmore presided over
the union meeting of the Presbyterian
and Baptist Christian Endeavor socie-
ties and the Epworth League in the NJ.
L. church Sunday evening. The meet
ing was well attended, Notwithstanding
the fact the thermometer registered
seven or eight below zero and fierce
wind was raging. The meeting was ex-
ceedingly interesting.
1t is really matter of surprise If not
an absolute puzzle TO know how some
people live. We see plenty Of men,
young and old, with no visible means of
support, who car hang around street
corners, saloons and other public places
from morn till night and never do a
stroke of work. Truly, if there is no
patent on this style of existence there
is large fraction of the community
would like to know what it is.
John Stewart, N. r.. Taylor, Misses
AIDA McGiffin, Fannie Brady, Mag
gle Irwin and Florence Porter,
drove up from Brookyille Satur-
day afternoon and stopped at Hotel Nc
Connell and expected to remain in town
until late hour. Eight couple Of our
young people went to the hotel about
500 p. NJ. to call on the visitors, hut
they had become frightened at the snow
storm and started for Brookville soon
after supper.
We mentioned last week that Freder-
ick Moncrief, Of Johnsonburg, had been
arrested and lodged in the Ridgway jail
on the charge of numbering his room
mate, Harry Peoples, at Johnsonburg
on Nov. 22nd, 1894. Mr.. Moncrief was
given a hearing at Ridgway and ac-
quilted of the charge last Friday after
noon. There was no evidence to con-
meet him with Peoples death. The ac-
cused was at Kane the night the young
man met the tragic death.
The music OF the keystone band,
while playing on Main street Saturday
afternoon, made an Italian light footed
and he began dancing. This attracted
the attention Of the boys and they hoot-
ed and yelled at the Ike, which raised
his ire and he got club and would
have made 1t interesting for his tor
mentors had not getleman made the
boys keep quiet and took the club from
the italian. Unless the boys learn to
mind their own business some of them
are liable to get badly hurt some day.
People who see the team of gray nags
attached to the hotel Belnap bus can
tering along Main street and "Indian
Sam" holding the reins with Wild
west grip, would hardly credit the
statement that both horses are nearing
their thirtieth birthday. The horses
are trifle stiff and have not as good
wind as they had when frolicsome colts,
but they have the spirit that would be a
credit to horses of less years. The team
answers the purpose Of getting the pat
rons Of John Dillman's hotel to and
from the trains in excellent style.
