The June Agnott Company scored a
big success at the Opera House Monday
and Tuesday nights, and if the amuse-
ment loving people of this town appre-
ciate a good show the house will be
crowded every night during the remain
der of the week. While JunS Agnott, "A
bewitching soubrette, is the principal
artist, her support is excellent through
out. Monday night the "Raneh King
was produced. and the unanimous YER
diet of the large audience was that IT was
the best performance ever given in Som
erset 1.-The Bowery Boy" given last
night attracted an audience that crowded
the house. Tonight Libby Prison." a
historical drama will be produced and the
advance sale of seats indicates that it will
be literally patronized. Saturday after
noon a matinee will be given. The
Irish comedian, Mr.. John Morris. and
the Negro dialect artist, Mr.. John w.
Turnbull, are both extremely clever and
keep their audience in an uproar. Anoth-
er feature of the entertainments given by
this company is the excellent music fur
nished by an orchestra of ten pieces.
The people of Somerset have had few if
any better opportunities TO see really
clever people on the stage than they have
this week at the Opera House, where the
June Agnott Company are giving a
weeks repertoire of high class American
dramas

well in verse, but if you have case OF
the "blues'' caused by Indigestion, with
biliOusness 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

your stomach. IL you feel premonitory
symptoms of chills and fever, kidney
trouble, or rheumatism, summon the Bit
ters to the rescue without delay, "lest a
worse thing befall you." A feeble con-
dition of the system is more speedily
changed to a vigorous one by this fne
tonic than by any other medicinal agent
in existence. A wineglassful three times

The klondike fever y running pretty
high here with n good many, but as for
myself. an not as yet very seriously af-
iected. rs am not lover Of the Csnuck
nor Of his government. / do not take
kindly to the glowing newspaper reports
from there. yet do not doubt that there
are some good mines there. To my mind
1t will be long time before another gold
producer. snch as California has proven
To be, and there is yet an abundance OF
the precious metal in our mountains, but
it now requires more capital to operate
with, is developed. Had not the hydrsu-
lie process of mining been suppressed.
California would hsye added sixty or sew
enty million dollars more TO her output
during the past ten years. 1t seems to me
great wrong for the Government to sell
us mineral lands, amer which we are
compelled to pay taxes on them, and are
not allowed to work them to the best ad
vantage.

good crops, and getting good prices for

months.
He lived all his life on a part of the
Samuel Lambert this father's) farm,
where he died. He was aconsistent MEM
Der of the Reformed church for about fifty
year, and during all this time he led a
devoted christian life. For the past few
years he was deprived from taking an ac-
tive part in church and other public az
fairs through bodily ills. In politics Mr..
Lambert WAS fe-long Republican, and
in this his example is followed by all his
sons. In social sympathy his character
deepened with advancing years. He al
ways had kind word for all whom he
met, and his home was at all times a
home of hospitality. lie was a great suf-
ferer from kidney disease, but he bore it
all without a murmur; and when death
came, he passed away without any appar-
ent suffering. behold the upright. for
the end Of that man is peace" Deceased
was the father of twelve children. eleven
sons and one daughter. lie is survived
by his wife and daughter. Sidna, who is
at home, and seven sons, Ellsworth and
Irwin, of near I.ambertsville, Azariah, at
home, Edward NJ, of Downey, Pa, Jsi-
rus b., OF Mostoller, Pa, John NJ, of
Pittsburg, Pa, and Lorenzo, of Freeport,
Illinois. His grand children, twelve in
number, all survive him.
The funeral was very largely attended.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Wetzel of the Reformed church, after
which the remains were laid to rest in
the Lambertsville cemetery.
While we sympathize with his family
and friends, may our prayers ever be:

Resisted Arrest.

William Hochstetler, well known in
Middlecreek and Upper Turkeytoot
townships, who was sent to the peniten-
tiary by the court of Fayette county in
June, 1896, to serve a sentence of eigh-
teen months for beating his wife, was re-
leased from that institution on Thursday.
u. S. Marshal Campbell met him at the
door of the prison and rearrested him on
a charge Of making counterfeit money.
But the official had a bigger job on
hand than he had anticipated. Hoch-
stetler did not seem surprised on learn
ing that he was again to be taken into
custody, but when he learned he must
wear handouts he strenuously objected
and fought against the manacles with all
his might. Finally, on being told that
he WAS only exciting prejudice against
him. he submitted 10 the handouts, but
new trouble arose when he was asked to
go along TO the street car. He wouldn't
do il, and lay down on the pavement
every few feet, virtually carrying out his
threat that the officers would have to
carry him.
Though less than forty years Of age
Hochstetler is said TO look fully sixty,
and when at last, after much dragging,
coaxing. and threatening, he was gotten
into the L. S. Courtroom. he sank into a
lethargy from which it was difficult TO
arouse him sufficiently to know what
Was going on. The general belief among
those who saw him is that he is dement,
ed or else shamming admirably. He
cried in the courtroom and talked in
rambling manner when asked about the
crime with which he is charged. \ true
bill having previously been found against
him, he was committed 20 Jail TO await
trial
The Government officers say they have
sufficient evidence against the accused to
assure his conviction. In his house at
the time, which was in Fayette County,
near the Somerset line, was found a COM
plete outfit for the manufacture OF coun-
terfeit coin ofall denominations. Ii was
a most improved outfit and was designed
for stamping out the coins instead of
moulding them, as pursued by the old
methods of counterfeiting. There were
about dozen witnesses who testified
against Hochstetler. principal among
whom was his own cousin-W lesley Hoch
stetler-who had been paid 81 50 in the
counterfeit coin for load of potatoes he
had sold TO Hochstetler.
When the case against Hochstetler was
called for trial attorneys for the defend
ant asked for continuance on the ground
that they were unable to proceed, owing
TO the absence of important witnesses for
the defense. Hochstetler was remanded
TO jail.

Pennsylvania Midland Nay Be Finished.

1t now seems quite probable that the
Pennsylvania Midland Railroad may be
completed in the near future. a party of
engineers are on the ground making an
estimate of the cost for its completion.
About fourteen miles ofthe road are now
ready for operation, and the contract has
virtually been let for the balance of it. 1t
is the belief that work will be begun not
later than November !. If built the road
will not only open valuable section oi
country, but will serve as the beginning
of further extensions through the south
ern par of the state to Maryland and on
TO West Virginia, with branches through
the coal fields of Somerset county. The
latter route has already been surveyed.
