dist Episcopal church at this place was
laid on the afternoon OF June 30. 1t
was beautiful afternoon, there was a
large crowd present and the services
were very interesting. The addresses

DR.. j. Bell Neff were fine addresses.

tions. Those who took part on pro-
gram were : Bishop Luther B. Wilson,
of Chattanooga, Tenn, Presiding Elder
A. r. Rich and DR.. J. Bell Neff, of Du-
Bois, DR.. W. p. Graham, of Brookville,

Brookville, Pa. Mission;
A Notable Work.

The most notable work which has
come to our notice in recent years is
the Self Interpreting New Testament
arranged on new plan never before
attempted. Analysed, explained and
illustrated by more than one hundred
photographs taken recently in tour OF
the Holy Land by the celebrated artist,
Balm, showing the actual places of
bible events, as they appear to-day.
Yet the most striking feature of the
work is each difficult verse clearly and
thoroughly explained.
'It will help to far better and
easier understanding of the word.n
Samuel j. Niccolls, d. D., L. L. D.
"These photographs have taken me
back to the days when I saw these
scenes in Palestine"

me that it leaves nothing to be desired. "

Horse Jumped Through Big Window

AS the 1890 trolley car was coming
up Main street yesterday forenoon
Harry Sharp, who drives the delivery
wagon for W. T. Cox's chop mill, was
driving out of alley at T. e. Evans
office on to Main street and the horse
got frightened and ran across Main
street in front of the trolley, but did
not get the wagon over in time to get
out of way of car, which struck rear
end of wagon. The boy was knocked
out of wagon and fell full length on
paved street, striking on his stomach,
and escaped without injury. The horse
jumped through the large plate glass
window in Williams Bros barbershop
and created CONSERVATION among the
BARRIERS and their customers, all of
whom ran out of back door of shop.
Good harness kept the horse from get
ting loose from wagon and it had to
stop just inside of shop or the damage
would have been greater. How the
horse got through the window without
being terribly mutilated is beyond the
comprehension of any person who saw
the crash. Half of the large glass in
front was smashed to smithereens and
the large glass on side was also de-
molished. T. E. Evans, owner of the
building, says the window cost $4,000.

Street Carnival Not Much.

The street carnival that was adver-

July 4th and for balance of that week,
was not what the firemen had expected
to give the people. Three or four of
the shows cancelled their agreement
too late for the firemen to secure other
shows for that week. Had there been
something here to entertain the people
there would have been large crowd
in town on the Fourth of July. AS it
was there was good sized crowd in
