AN Old Seffler-

When the rheumatism first pre-empts
certain tracts of your anatomy it may be
ousted easily. but when it becomes an
old settler it is pretty hard to bulge.
Remember this when you experience the
first twinges of this obstinate and
agoniZing disease, and attack it with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t will
then make tracks," and possibly leave
you unmolested and in peaceable possess
sion of your own comfort in the future.
Perils always attend rheumatism, if it
become chronic, on account of its tenden-
cy to attack the heart. Usually it is COM
plicated with kidney trouble. Certain it
is that the kidneys, when aroused by the
Bitters, will eliminate impurities which
give rise to rheumatism and dropsy. In
inclement or wet conditions of the wealth
er, the Bitters, taken in advance. will Of
ten avert rheumatic trouble. Use this
genial family medicine for dyspepsia,
biliousness, headache and constipation.

snoeing Oxen.

A Chester county paper speaks Of the
shoeing of yoke of oxen i'm West Chest
er, and says it is an unusual proceeding
in that county. This is no doubt true at
the present time; but il was a common
practice in some portions of Chester coun-
ty half a century ago. The writer of this
assisted in shoeing oxen frequently in
the summer of 1856, at Townsend's mill,
place between Jennerville and Catham,
where the blacksmithing business was
carried on by Samuel Townsend. He was
an expert at the business and did great
deal of it. There was a large limestone
quarry in the neighborhood where oxen
were used for hauling and they had to be
shod to keep their feet from getting sore
The account of the shoeing at West
Chester says: II requires sixteen shoes
to completely shoe a pair of oxen. and
these shoes are all of peculiar shape
suited to their cloven feet a set of shoes
will usually wear about five months.
Sometimes it is very troublesome to shoe
cattle, bat these were fairly quiet,
and the sixteen shoes were made and put
on in about three hours. The cost of
shoeing pair of oxen is S. The price
used 10 be $40.

A Bank Robbery FOiled.

SALTsBURG, Pa, Feb. l2-This after
noon while Assistant Cashier J. 4 King
ensmith was alone in the Salisbury bank
a cOlored man entered. and, covering
him with a revolver, demanded that he
hand over the money lying on the coun-
ter. Without hesitation Mr.. Klingen-
smith gave him the money which amount
ed TO about 500. The negro left the bank
quietly and walked rapidly down the
street 10 the railroad and then ran across
the bridge to the Westmoreland side. In
the meantime Cashier Klingensmith and
a crowd of citizens started in pursuit.
In crossing the bridge buggy was met,
which was pressed into service, and by
this means the robber was finally over
taken. Telephone messages had been
sent and several men were waiting along
the route with shotguns.
Seeing that his case was hopeless. he
fired shot or two without effect and
then surrendered and handed over the
money. As he was brought TO town two
men who had been seen with him be-
fore the robbery jumped upon passing
freight train. In his pockets were found
two cards, containing the addresses of a
store and a woman, both on Ferry street,
Pittsburg. He was taken to Indiana on
the evening train.
INDIANA, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE unknown
man who held up the Salisbury banker
last Friday is now in Jail here. He was
subjected TO a bath, which revealed that
he was not a negro. He had blackened
his face with cork, and when he came
from the tub he was found to be very fair
a II complexion. He gives no name
other Than Billy" and says he is halt
Indian, his father being white man and
his mother a squaw.

ments can keep the event from being
magnificent in every detail
Aside from the purely physical part
of the proceedings, it will be most
auspicious happening in every way
The sentiment of il more nearly APP
proaches the full and felicitous mean
ing of the union of the best thought
and industry of the country than any
other occurrence of the century. The
fact that ex-Confederates will join as
heartily in the observance rs any 9TH
ers, and the real wiping away of sec
:ional feeling and sectional lines must
fill the thoughtful citizen with the pro-
foundest qualification.
All who can should go to Washing
ton to witness this historical event. 1t
is the last Inauguration of the century,
and it is not only the Inauguration of a
new president, but also the Inaugural
ton of a new era and of good times.

Confessional Secrets.

MONTREAL, Feb. ia very interest
ing case, involving the secrets of the con-
fessional, is likely to come before the
Courts in the course of few days. The
facts are these: About three years ago
the jewelry establishment of NJ. Cochen-
thaler, on st. James street, was robbed
of several thousands of dollars worth of
jewelry. Notwithstanding all the efforts
Of the authorities, no light was thrown
on the affair until a few days ago. In the
meantime, the Dominion Burglary and
Guarantee Company, with whom Mr..
Cochenthaler was insured. paid to the
latter claims amounting to S27OO.
A few days ago a man named kiernan,
who had been employed as night watch
man by Mr.. Cochenthaler and others in
the neighborhood, was arrested on sus-
picion of theft. A search of his house
brought to light several articles which
Mr.. Cochenthaler identified as some OF
the goods that had been stolen from his
store.
Kiernan subsequently made a confess
sion. in which he acknowledged that he
had committed the burglary, telling at
length the manner in which he had per-
formed the deed. But the large quantity
of jewelry proved an elephant on his
( hands, and as his conscience pricked him
severely, he went to the parish church
| and made a full confession to the Rev.
Father Sorin.
The latter at first advised him to re-
| turn the goo1s to Mr.. Cochenthaler, but
on being informed that that person had
been recouped by the Guarantee Com
pany, he decided, so Herman says, that
the goods must be sold and the proceeds
devoted to charity. According to the
prisoners story, he then took the goods
to Rev. Father Sorin, who raffied them
at various times, devoting the proceeds
TO several schemes connected with the
! church.
Now the Guarantee Company wants It's
money back, and has instructed Messrs
Greenshield & Greenshield to take ac-
ton, and the latter have written to the
Rev. Father Sorin demanding $500, IT,
timating that otherwise suit will be
brought for recovery. The Rev. Father
has been given one week in which to de.
eide upon his course.

Down At Harrisburg.

Senator Brown. of Philadelphia, has
introduced bill to amend the Baker

the person so offending to tho amount of
500 is to be exempt for liability for said
fine and judgment. The fines collected
shall go to the public school fund of the
county in which they are imposed.
An effort will be made before the close

Much talk is heard in regard to remov.

however, as Harrisburg is undoubtedly
the most available site for the State Capt.

Hastings Wants a Change.

The views of Governor Hastings on the
treasury situation and appropriations,
with special reference to the school ap-
preparation, were emphatically expressed
in an address of welcome at the conven-
ton of the State association of school di-
rectors. Il See some members of the
legislature in this meeting" said the
governor, land want TO take advantage
of the opportunity TO say TO them that
the state of Pennsylvania is big enough
and rich enough to provide literally for
the education of every child within its
borders.
"The present system of distributing
the school appropriation of $500. .0OO,"
added the governor, sis not fair to the
real interests involved. The number of
taxables is not the proper basis. Each
school house with its appliances cost
about as much, whether attended by ten
or fifty pupils If the state appropria-
would suggest that one-third of that
amount should be divided on the num-
ber of school houses or teachers. one
third according to the number of school
children and the other third, possibly,
as at present, on the number of taxables.
The country boys and girls should be
given the same advantages as those of
the city. / believe that every township
should have a high school. That is the
law in Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania
| should not be behind that state.''

in Burnsides' command and was called

soldiers were at the depot tonight to re-
eeive the box. and with them was Will

had been with the regiment. Mcintyre
played on his violin Marching Through
Georgia" when the box was carried out,

Made the Man Work.

New York. Feb. Edward Stanley,
of Brooklyn, is of the opinion that three
years is long enough for any man in his
station in life to mind children and keep
house. He told his wife few days ago
that unless change was made he would
cut her throat. She caused his arrest,
and he appeared in the Lee Avenue Po-
lice Court to-day on the charge of threat
ening to kill her.
Stanley was married eight years ago.
Three years ago he lost his job and was
unable TO find another. Mrs. Stanley got
employment in laundry, where she is
still at work In her absence during the
day Stanley looked after the children and
did the house work.
On Tuesday he rebelled and declared
that unless change was made he would
cut his wife's throat. When he was ar
raigned in Court to-day he said: Look
at me. I'm a man in the prime of life.
How would you, Judge, like the life that
I've had for a long time? Other married
men go around with the boys. I've been
tolDD6lltu 10 liluu niN bM il tliAlftl. Il Nt
washed and dressed them. kept them al
ways looking neat. Then I've done all
the cooking for the whole family, besides
the cleaning. Not until everything was
finished, everything looking trim and
neat and the children having their after
noon nap did l get a chance To read a
novel and smoke my pipe. I've often
spoken to my wife about having a change.
think she ought to let me have chance
TO go out and work, just for change, you
know. Ii wouldn't make any difference
10 her and it would make me feel like a
new man. But, no, she wants me to
drudge along. I simply said would cut
her throat so as 10 have something TO say.
/ didn't mean anything wrong"
Mrs. Stanley said she was willing to
mind the children and do all the house
work. too, and in default of $500 bail
Stanley was remanded for hearing.

Counsellors of Experience

Rochester Post-Express tRep.)
.'Old men for councir' seems 10 be the
principle upon which Major Mckinley
has proceeded in constituting his Cabinet.
Sherman is "a years old, Gage 81, Alger
81, Wilson 90, and Long 50, Mckinley
himself, who is IS, being considerably the
junior of any member Of his official fam
lily. The age record exceeds that of any
former Cabinet, and il is remembered
that some heads of departments were
really in the bloom of youth when they
assumed their responsibilities. Alexan-
der Hamilton, the greatest ofSecretaries
of the Treasury, was but y when Wash
ington appointed him. Calhoun became
Secretary of War at 81, and Clay Secreta-
ry of State at IS. There is no reason,
however, to fear, that, in mental vigor OF
natural force, any member of the ineom-
ing Cabinet will prove unequal to the
labors imposed upon him.

SPEAKER REED, il is reported, will
appoint bat three committees at the ex-
ira session of Congress Ways and
Means, Rules and Mileage - the object
being to prevent untimely agitation of
the currency question. If this is his
conclusion, il must be obvious that he
is consulting the wishes of the Presi-
dent, and that the latter will, i'm his
message TO Congress at its extra session,
confine himself to the single topic OF
revenue. This fully agrees with the
reported views of Major Mckinley,
and is in accord with Republican pol
icy. The country is on the verge of
prosperity-a prosperity possibly great
er than has been heretofore experience
ed-prosperous as have been some peri
DDS of our national existence. Signs
are multiplying of restoration of con-
fidence, and disposition to embark in
enterprises of moment, always provi-
ded the people can be sure that their
hopes will not be made illusory by ILL.,
timed agitation.
