THE PLACE TO TRADE.
Advantages That Little Falls
sj Possesses in Merchandise
MA Stocks.

to Il city. although 1t IN an impor
tant one. For several years past
| the Littls Falls wheat market hat
been an excellent one. and with the
mills here will continue to be. Some
neighboring points may occasionally )
create hn artificial market, and pay
more for wheat than 1t ia worth
Int that condition can not last, and
itis not worth what 1t costs. But
al a rule the Little Falls buyers
tlav We paid liberal prices for wheat,
and have obtained much more each
season than any other market IN the
county. With large number Oi
buying points, this city handles
practically half the wheat sold IN the
county.
What really attracts trade to
Little Fails is the superior stocks OF
merchandise our stOre-keepers offer.
and the low prices at which all goods
are sold. The buyer is able to do
much better where he has a large
stock to select from, and ut Little
Falls the opportunities are far ahead
Oiany other part OF the county.
There ia scarcely comparison be-
tween the stocks carried by the
merchants of Little Falls and those
oi any other trade locality In the
county. As an evidence Of tile size "f
stocks, It ia proof to refer to the per-
sonal property assessment OF the
county. The goods and merchan'
disc of Little Falls merchants are as
sessed at $45, ,7O3, while all the rest of
the county returns only $22,4o5.
Little Falls has six times as much
merchandise az either Royalton or
Motley. And the quantity does not
tell the whole story. as the variety
is the really important attraction to
the buyer. There are. Of course.
classes of staple goods that all
general stores carry In sufficient
quaut.fy to meet the demand. But
the esaaller the quantity OF goods
the Smaller the variety, and the less

rietH is not needed In some lines OF
dry goods and groceries. But the
man buying clothing can invariably
do better with a stock Of thousands
Of dollars worth TO select from,
than II his choice is limited to a few
hundred dollars worth.
Ladies who are purchasing dress
goods, cloaks, or in fact any articles
of wearing apparel, find it greatly tn
their advantage, and it certainly
adds to their pleasure, to have the
LARGEST possible assortment to make
their selections from. The same
general proposition applies to near
" all lines Of trade.
Little Falls possesses by far the
largest and best stocks OF general
and there are here also
stores carrying special lines, and
they afford opportunities that no
other stores in the county can ap-
proach.
Not only is the local wheat market
the best in the county, and the seller
does we'll to come here. but the buy
er finds it very much to his advan-
tage to purchase from the Little
Ealia merchants.

Thursdays Pirtsburg Gazette, says:
John Rice, with his family, and another
man named Barlow and his wife and
children, driving canvas-covered wagons.
on their way from the far West, passed
through here yesterday. They had come
from Nebraska and were on their way TO
Somerset, Pa. They went west in 1871
and are now coming back to see the old
place and people once more. They took
this means of travel, preferring it to any
other. They slept in their wagons, which
are fitted up comfortably with good bed
ding.
The party left Nebraska on May IL,
stopping one week with relatives in Kan
sas City, and had wagoned all the 1900
miles without interruption. They had a
good time along the road. not tiresome at
all. One of the women said she would be
mighty glad to get to old Somerset county
next week. They had fair looking teams,
rather travel worn, and one of the horses
had its ears frozen of in Nebraska Sew
eral small children in the party were
neatly dressed and showed motherly care
and providence.

The RoddY Roys' Huneal.

In the Supreme Court, sitting last week
in Pittsburg, Lawyer w. III. Ruppel, of
counsel for the Roddy boys. moved for
continuance, which was granted until af-
ter the Allegheny county list has been
disposed of, which will be about the Sd of
November. Mr.. Ruppel filed an affidavit
signed by the defendants, in which it is
set forth that they are penniless and una
BILE to bear the expense of having a paper
book printed. They ask the Court 10 al
low their case to be presented in type
written form, and say that their sister
will sell part of her furniture to get that
prepared. The petition closed with the
statement that if the petition is refused
two innocent men will be hanged.
Attorneys for the condemned men have
lot of r-discovered evidence which
they hope to have prepared in time to lay
before the court when the appeal is heard.
They will not disclose the nature of the
after discovered evidence, but il is said
TO conclusively- establish the innocence
of their clients, if it can not be contro-
yerted.

Mad, a Good Record.

Col. James Il. Barnett, who has a num-
Der Of warm personal aud political friends
in Somerset county, last week resigned
the Office of Deputy Secretary of the
Commonwealth, aud has gone back to
Washington. Pa, aud res umed the prac-
tice of law. II. +. Cochran, of York, has
been chosen to succeed him. In refer
ring to Col. Barnett's resignation the
Harrisburg Patriot, says:
Political exigencies seem to require that
gentleman in factional political accord
with the head of the department shall sit
at the desk of Colonel Barnett. We do not
believe this is at all necessary for the
public good but it seems TO be required
for the political if not personal comfort of
Mr.. Martin. We shall hope that the Sec
retary will fill the place of the incumbent
with a gentleman and lawyer no less
competent than Colonel Barnett. He has
made careful. competent and popular
Deputy Secretary. His duties have been
discharged honorably and with much
ability. His predecessor, Mr.. Tilden, set
an example of fidelity TO duty not easy to
initiate, but Colonel Barnett's record does
not suffer in any degree by comparison
Herewith. Mr.. Martins selection of
successor TO Colonel Barnett must be
made with full consideration of the Col
onel's efficiency and if it is To meet pub
lie approval it must not fall below his
high standard"

A Skeleton Intact.

Wednesday James Byerly, a farmer
living in North Huntington township,
near Stewartsville, while quarryi ng lime
stone, unearthed one of the greatest Curl
osities ever found in this county. 1t is a
human skeleton of large size and is in a
well preserved state. Mr.. Byerly removed
the earth carefully from it and with the
assistance of DIR. Long of Stewartsville,
whom he summoned, removed it from
the grave in which it had lain for a cen
tury, as DIR. Long firmly AYERS. 1t was
then taken to the office of the doctor in
Stewartsville, where he has it on exhibit
ton and where it is viewed by hundreds
of curious sightseers, all of whom agree
with the doctor in the belief that it is the
skeleton of either an Indian or a member
of Washington or Braddock's army. With
the skeleton was found large brass
buckle which, when cleaned and burn
ished may give some clue to the identity
OF the skeleton. The doctor is greatly
elated over the find aud prizes il very
highly, it being of unusual historic inter-
est. The fact that il has lain in the un-
marked grave for at least a century and is
still in a fine state of preservation is some
thing wonderful and at the same time in
teresting to medical scientists.-G reens-

The somerse, County Conferences.

The fall convention of the Somerset
County Conference of the Lutheran
Church was held October IL To IL in St.
Paurs church of the Glade pastorate, Rev.
A. B. Miller, pastor. Though conference
was entertained by what is commonly
known as Barron" congregation. it was
very soon discovered that it was not a
barren land to which the convention was
invited. In addition 10 the right royal
entertainment which was furnished, the
general interest of the congregation and
community in conference work and in
the discussions was manifest from the
large audiences that were present day
and evening throughout the entire con-
yention.
The officers elected for the ensuing year
are as follows: President, Rev. ). J.
Taylor; Secretary, Rev. l.. n. Fleck !;
Treasurer, Rev. Is. b. Collins.
The pastor of the Wellersburg charge
gave favorable account of the work in
that pastorate; and in the spirit of III ONE
Mission work, conference recommended
an appropriation of $50 toward the sup
port of the pastor of that struggling
charge.
Subjects of vital importance to christian
faith and life were discussed, such as
The New Birth,' Family Prayer"
''Giving and Growth" "Catecheticsl In-
struction," and duties OF Church Menu
bers." The discussions were earnest and
helpful, setting forth the ground upon
which the various duties embraced in
these topics rested and urging TO a more
jealous performance of them.
a committee mad been appointed at the
previous convention Of conference 10 de-
wise, il possible, IA better system of appor-
tionment to be submitted to Synod Tor its
consideration. The committee not being
ready to report was continued and action
was taken requesting the other two con
ferences of Allegheny Synod to consider
the same question, regarded As a very inn
portant one.
The next convention of conference will
be held next May in the Pine Hill
charge, Rev. NJ. l.. Young. Pm. d., pastor.

June Agnott.

Reports from the opera house at York,
Pa, have informed Manager T.. l.. Case
beer that June Agnott, supported by
Joseph ID. Clifton, received the largest
opening house ever given 20 a repertoire
company, and have made the biggest
kind of a hit. People from the audience
came out between the acts and purchased
seats for the following night, SO pleased
were they, and so anxious to be sure of
seats. 1t was her first appearance at this
theatre and so the reception was all the
more astonishing. Talent is bound to be
acknowledged by an Intelligent public
and June Agnott possesses an unusual
degree. She is rapidly climbing the lad
der of dramatic fame, and a few years
more like the past will place her among
those at the head.
Seats will be quite in demand for her
opening next Monday here; a warm well

Guess Work in Medicine is Valueless, Es-
peclally So in Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat.

Hundreds of people write specialists
they have some ailment to which they
give a name, and ask if it can be cured,
and how much will it cost. Think of such
a proposition one moment and see how
impossible TO answer.
The worst cases of failure in medical and
surgical work are owing TO incorrect
diagnosis-treating for the wrong thing.
\ correct knowledge of disease or con-
dition can only be gained, even by an ex-
pert, by a careful examination. There
fore, if you have s1y afiment of eye, ear,
nose or throat worth spending money on
at all, do it right by having an examina-
ton first.
DIR. Sadler, S0i Penn avenue, Pittsburg,
whose % years experience in such cases
gives him the best means of knowing,
says that three-fourths of the permanent
loss ofsight and hearing has been caused
by such guess cOrk delay.
Take advantage of the Exposition ex-
cursions and consult him and k,,oU what
is best.

Away With Melancholy,

And bid dull care avaunt," sounds very
well in verse, but if you have a ease of
the blues caused by Indigestion, with
biliousn mess added on as an extra horror,
you cannot say hey, presto, and thus in
sure the departure of those abominable
twins. The proper caper" when thus
troubled, is to seek the aid of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Thereafter you will
speedily digest with ease and eat with
appetite, and your liver will reassert its
right to regularity. Not only this, you
can retire without horrible dread that
the Washington monument will-in
dreams-impose itself upon the pit of
your stomach. If you feel premonitory
symptoms of chills and fever, kidney
trouble, or rheumatism, summon the Bit
tiers 10 the rescue without delay, ''lest a
worse thing befall you" A feeble con-
dition of the system is more speedily
changed to vigorous one by this fine
tonic than by any other medicinal agent
in existence. A wineglassful three times
