On the Road to Heaven.

Uncle Geo. Croninger of Liberty
township dropped in the Office Thurs
day last and insisted on paying his
subscription to the NORTHWEST un-
til June, 1893. He remarked that he
might not live that long, but he
wanted the paper sent right along.
We hope he may live many years yet,
for such men are needed in this world,
and if there were more of them life
of others would be the brighter for

DIR. G. N. Smith, specialist of To
ledo, assisted by Drs. Maerker and
Martin of this city, performed dan
gerous operation on last Thursday
on Louis Filling, young man of 26
years, son of Mr.. Henry Filling living
two miles south of town. The oper-
alton became necessary by the per-
itoneum and the bowels becoming
adhered and took 2 hours to perform
it. Mr.. Filling had been very sick
with appendicitis for the last three
weeks. Notwithstanding this the
operation was entirely successful and
the patient is on the high way to re-
covery.

Joke on the Girls.

A good looking, well to do bache-
lor of Napoleon, was being teased
by the young ladies of q club for not
being married. He said: "I'll mar
ry the girl of you whom, on a secret
vote, you elect to be my wife" There
were nine members of the club.
Each girl went into corner and
used great caution in preparing her
ballot tand disguised the hand writing.
The result of the voting was that
there were nine votes cast, each
girl receiving one. The young man
remains q bachelor, the club is
broken up and the girls are all NOR
tai enemies, united in the one de-
termination that they will never
speak to that nasty man again.

Operation Performed.

Ex-canal commissioner Daniel Hart
nett of Columbus, who has been Sc
riously i'll for the past month with
trouble of the brain, had an opera
ton performed in Philadelphia last
week. The operation was perfectly
successful-the trouble arising from
a piece of skin pressing in on the
brain. Mr. Hartnett is on the high
way to recovery and will be in Napo-
leon within the next few days. The
operation was performed at the
Philadelphia St. Joseph's hospital,
DR.. Peter DonnelIy of this city being
one of the assistants.

Memorial Day Lesson.

The lesson on Memorial Day is to
keep the memories of our illustrious
dead, to preserve intact what they
fought for and saved, to keep alive
the patriotic spirit, and resolve in the
immortal words of Abraham Lincoln,
that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full
measure of devotion-that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain-that this ma
tion, under God, shall have new
birth of freedom-and that govern
ment of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from
the earth.n

There Has Been Earl ier Springs
Than This.

Our old friend and pioneer citizen,
A. M. Spafford, of Harrison town
ship, in talking of the present spring
being so early, compared with other
years, says while this has been an
early and model spring, the spring of
1878 was "a week earlier. And to
prove this, he exhibited dogwood
blossoms, full bloom, which he picked
in that year on the 21st day of April,
Easter Sunday. The same kind of
blossoms this year did not mature
into full bloom until April 2Sth, thus
by comparison showing that the
spring 1873 was a week earlier than
was the spring of 1896.

ber the committee are preparing for. The
program is a varied one, and one of the de-
bates is ON question concerning the society,
and the other is: Resolved, that it is the
duty Of the United States to recognize the
Cuban insurgents as beligerents." On the
affirmative side are MacHenry Wilhelm

negative side are Burd W. Payne and r. b.

ceived invitations to attend, and will likely

other things, said II was much pleased with
the spirit of intellectual hospitality of your
letter, and what I say, if anything, to your
people will be in the same spirit of kindness
and candor." His remarks will be read with
much interest, no doubt, by members Of all
denominations.

The Columbia Brewing Company Has tho
rerpetrator Arrested.
The alcrtncsS and sagacity of the officials
of the Columbia Brewing Company, coupled
with the shrcwdnoss and skilul work of
Detective Amour, has resulted in uncarthing
a very clever swindling scheme and probably
saved the company almost $500
Several weeks ago a well dressed stranger
of commanding presence called at the com
pauys office and after stating that he had
been very layorably impressed with the re-
ports Of the company's products expressed
desire to become its agent in the western
part of the state He had perfect confidence
in his ability to soon build up large trade.
The strangers appearance and general ad-
dress together with the references he gave,
impressed the company so favorably that it
was decided to forward him car load of beer
valued at about S4s2 for Introductory sales.
The stranger gave his name and address as
Lewis jones' Patton Cambria county. The
place is near JOhnstown. The shipment was
made accordingly. Weeks passed and
nothing was heard from Mr.. Jones.
Finally the company's suspicious be-
came aroused and one of the confidential
representatives of the company was sent to
Patton to ascertain what Mr.. Jones had done.
The representative learned that Mr. Jones
had been guilty of gross Misrepresentation
In the first place. it was learned Jones never
held a license as a brewery agent, or dealer
in beers or liquors. Incidentally it was also
ascertained that he had been in jail at
Wilkesbarre Pittsburg and other places on
similar charges. Upon the result of this
investigation a warrant charging Jones with
false pretense was sworn out before Justice
Lawlor and placed in the hands of Detective
Amour, who went to Patton and placed Jones
under arrest. The swndler was much sur
prised, but when impressed with the situation
and only alternative in the case he sought
bail. He is evidently man well known
and with many friends in his community and
soon gave gilt-edged bail for 81 900 for his
appearance at the court of this county for
/ trial. is believed, however, that some of
his influential friends will bring the brewing
company out whole in the matter before the
time for trial arrives. An effort to learn
what Jones did with the beer has failed, but
| from the results of the investigation it is
presumed that he disposed of it to retail
/ dealers and retained the proceeds.
