The confession of Fred Rockwell, the
Elk county murderer, hanged at Ridg-
way last spring, is now published in
book form, and thus one more volume of
vicious, filthy literature is sent broad

Harvesting and haying are at present
the occupation of the farmers of ofKeystone
state and the quality and quantity of
wheat, rye and hay, with few excep-
tions where the grain has been injured by
fly and rust, will be a full average. The
crop OF oats is not in as good condition as
could be desired, complaints of rust be-
ing received from number of places in
the state. Reports indicate that tho corn
crop is doing well, though it will be
somewhat late in maturing. In some
sections cold nights and dry conditions
have retarded growth, but the outlook
generally is for good crop.
The following description of what is in
| IL
encampments of the American troops
will explain what is meant when it is
said that the recruits receive their first
degree: The work is very simple. The
companyis drawn up in two lines and
the recruits ordered to "run the gaun-
let" Every soldier is armed with pad
die and any man who gets through with
out being well warmed is considered
very lucky. After the initiation is con-
cluded, the seasoned troops borrow all
the money they can from the recruits and
then declare them duly qualified as mem
bers of the company.
