their annual visit to McConnells.

here who are always glad to well
come them back to their old home.
Ernest Hixon of Brush Creek
brought Amos Stouteagle home
Saturday, and took Miss Olive
Stouteagle back with him Sunday

Springs this week.
Mr.. John Hollenshead of Sipes
Mill, who was injured several
months ago while quarrying lime
stone for Judge Morton by a
spall of steel from the drill strik-
ing one of his eyeballs, went to
baltimore few days ago and had
the injured organ entirely remov-
ed. This was deemed necessary
in order to save the sight of the
other eye.
We have before us a catalogue
Of the Union Business College and
school of Shorthand, Typewri-
ting, and Telegraphy, of Quincy,
ILL.,, which is in itself a model of
typographical art. Not the least
gratifying feature of the cata-
logue, however, was the face OF
our old student and friend Wat
son K. Hixon of Brush Creek
township occupying prominent
place in a fine picture of the fac.
ulty of the institution.
There win be a festival at Nc

McConnellsburg, 5; Greencastle,O

McConnellsburg, 5 Greencastle,O %.
The strong Greencastle niue
with a Chambersburg battery
went down to defeat at the hands
of the home team on Saturday
last by the above score in the
greatest game of ball ever seen on
the local grounds.
The visitors were outclassed
from beginning to end and not
one ever reached the initial base.
Bowden, who was in the box for
the home team, pitched great
game, striking out fourteen, and
not once did he allow the visitors
to touch the horse hide safely.
Kegareis, who had hitherto been
a mystery for the home team,
was hit hard throus hout the en-
tire game. Comp, James Patter-
son and IL. Wagner carried off
the honors in the line of fielding,
while Thompson, Jackson and
Comp excelled at the bat.
The local team played an error
less game and certainly deserved
to win. 1t is to be hoped that in
the future more people will pay
the small admission fee instead of
looking at the games from fences
because the boys are deserving OF
better support than that.
The score by innings is given

Surprised!

Mr.. j. Watson Ellmaker,
pleasant, social, vivacious, and
well-to- do bachelor of Lancaster,
Pa, has, for several years, been
spending the hot months on the

maker had established, in beau.
tiful grove on Sideling Hill noun
tain, about one-half mile east from
McIlvaine's, q delightful camp
(known far and wide as "Camp
Ellmaker"), lovely place, indeed,
where the sweetness of the pure,
resinous, invigorating air waiting
among the stately pine trees, and
the cool, refreshing, mountain
water of a spring near by can be
enjoyed to the hearts content.
Mr.. Ellmaker, by his winning
ways, has endeared himself into
the good graces of all the fair sex
throughout the surrounding
country as well as the respect of
all who have met him but no one
dreamed that such fraternity
would result in any serious con-
sequences.
But on Saturday, 10Th inst, 10
a. m. "Camp Ellmaker" was inva-
ded by a company deeply intent
on some daring purpose, and Mr..
Ellmaker realized that he had
been inveigled and intrigued, but
the whole thing localized and ma
terialized into very pleasant and
much-enjoyed social occasion. At
noon-tide all were invited to a

repeatedly, Friends, indeed l
am much surprised" The day
was spent pleasantly together in
singing and conversation, and aft
er partaking of supper, the inva-
ders departed for home, wishing
that many such days of enjoy

Report for First Ten Months of It's
Existence.
New York, jan 30.-A preliminary re-
port covering the operations of the United
States Steel corporation since 1t came
into existence ten months ago, was made
to the stockholders yesterday. The re-
port signed by Charles M. Schwab and
Ebert H. Gary. declared present business
and future outlook viewed ahead through
1902 to be highly satisfactory. Discussing
prices, the report said they could have
been advanced in view of the heavy de-
mand but that the committee decided it
would be better to refrain from doing so,
believing that the existing prices were
sufficient to yield fair return on capital.
The condensed balance sheet for Now

receivable aggregated 1928, 453, the bills
receivable 50, s21,4 6s and<the cash on hand
$55, 315, 527, grand total of $10S, 406, 444. In
the list of assets in the balance sheet
was a credit of inventories amounting to
$95, 603, 997 The current liabilities on Nov.

plus of the corporation and the subsidiary
companies was placed at Sta, 344, 1923. The
cost of the properties owned and operated
by the several federated companies was
given as $1,437, 494, 1862. '"The business of

There are two things that every Grip

which discards the knife, and is perfectly
painless, in all cases.
''While there are many cases that can
be cured quickly. with one operation, in
simultaneously, apparently, there are many
other cases that require time and nature 8
assistance, with the gentle aid of bone
setting, properly given and rightly d.
rected to render the cripple cripple no
longer.
''Then it is imperatively necessary to
see and carefully examine the condition to
be righted, before a professional opinion
can be given, and the applicant told what
may be done, and the time it will require
to do it, approximately.
There is no supposition, guessing or
speculation, in expert bone setting. The
applicant is told just what may be done.

REDS ARE DANCING N
Nez Perez Indians Object to School
Order.
SUPERINTENDENT IS CONDEMNED
He Enforced the Attendance of In
dian ChiIdren-Grand Orgie
After a Council.


Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. 30.--Two hundred
Nez Perez Indians are engaged in tribal
dance on Lappai creek, fifteen miles from
this city. The dance is the result of a
council that convened last week to dis
cuss the proposed abandonment of the
Lapwai agency, and it's transfer to the
superintendent Of the Lapwai Indian in
dustrial school.
The council expressed disapproval Of the
act of Superintendent Voorhis, in charge
of the school who has enforced the at
tendance of Indian children. Resolutions
were passed condemning the superintend-
ent and asking that the agency remain
separate A delegation of Indians was ap-
pointed to visit Washington to make their
wishes known.
The council met Ave days ago and the
excitement of the discussion gradually
resulted in the wild, Wierd dance of the
tribe George Moses, Philip Mcfarland
and Peo-Pe-K alip, chiefs of the tribe, are
participating in the dance. Guards have
been stationed to prevent the Indians
from receiving whisky and precaution is
taken to prevent depredations
A man arriving from the scene says the
canyons are echoing with the: yells of the
dancers. Superintendent Voorhis ad-
dressed the council during the early de-
liberations, but it seems was unable to
influence the Indians.

Then if he or she becomes a patient, 1t is
done. There is no doubt about it, no Elk
perimenting, for bone setting is a mathe-
NAUTICAL science, as accurate as the multi
plication table. It admits of no mistakes.
''The very large number of cripples who
can be materially helped, substantially
pletely restored, by this new painless op-
erative surgery, without cutting, that the
few who are beyond help, are told so.
1T should he distinctly borne in mind
that bone-settins differs in every way
from all other methods, and there is no
similarity between 1t and any "pathy,
"ism,'' or so-called treatment and
should mot be so corfounded.
expert bone setting offers the only
hope of a cure to the cripple to-day, for 1t
is phenomenally successful, where the
knife is not only a failure but cutting a
permanent injury.
s'The only reason why cripples are
asked to WRITE Is because If description
of how crippled is given in the letter, a
representation or conclusion may be ar
rived at, from statement OF the case, as
! to whether or not anything can be done,
| or If necessary for him or her to incur
the expense and take the time in coming
to West Superior, Wis For where no help
can be given or the trouble is out of this
| line, they are so written.
1t is not how long you have been Grip
| Piled, or what caused you to be cripple
| but in what way are you crippled, which
largely determines whether you can be
cured or not"

WOMEN INFLUENTIAL
Are of Much Benefit in Civllizing the
Willy Filipino.

Are of Much Benefit in Civl1izins the
Willy Filipino.
Washington, Jan. 30.-One American
woman can contribute more to the refor-
nation of the Filipinos than any COM
pany of American men, soldier or civil
ian, according to a personal letter re-
ceived by Maj. Gen. H. G. Corbin, adju-
tant general Of the army, from Brig.
Gen. J. F. Bell, commanding the DEPART
ment of Northern LuZOn.
General Bell says that he is strong be-
lever in permitting the wives of Ameri-
can officers on duty in the Philippines to
Join their husbands, declaring that the
women exert most potent influence in
our political purposes with regard to the
islands. General Bell says that in his old
volunteer regiment, the Thirty-sixth in
fantry, there were twelve young women,
wives of officers. He encouraged them
to go with their husbands to the towns
the latter were comma ding, and the peo-
pie soon became so devoted to them that
when the time came to depart for the
United States the natives, irrespective of
age or sex, wept like children General
Bell says that the American women ex-
ert their influence through the Filipino
women, the latter having more influence
on public opinion than the men of the
islands. -.-
