One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dol
 lars Earned

The average man does not save to exceed ten per cent of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. That being the case he cannot be too care ful about unnecessary expenses. Very often a few cents properly invested like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Collie, and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but few cents, and bottle of it in the house often saves doctor's bill of several dollars. For sale by all druggists.

CLIFFORD CARBAUGH.
A Brakeman on the P. r. r Killed Last
Sunday a Week Near Duncansville,
Blair County.
WAS A NATIVE OF FULTON COUNTY,

A cow ambled on the tracks
ahead of freight train on the
new Portage Railroad, two miles
above Duncansville, Blair county,
Sunday afternoon, July 23d.
When the engineer found that
she refused to heed the warning
of his whistle, he applied the
emergency brakes. The sudden
stop of the tram caused it to
"buckle, and six cars were
wrecked, one man killed, and two
+, injured. The man killed was
Clifford Carbaugh, a native OF
this county, and the injured were
Archie Funk and Foster Am
brose, the latter also from this
county. The story as told by
MIR. Ambrose is as follows: "The
train consisted of eighty-tive fiat
and gondola cars, and was NOV
ing westward at the rate of 20
miles an hour, beng drawn by
two big engines and pushed by
one. At the time of the accident,
Funk, Carbaugh and myself were
sitting together talking of hunt
ing vacation we expected to take,
Carbaugh and myself planning to
spend ours IN Fulton county.
Suddenly the engineers whistle
screamed "down brakes" and IN
a moment the cars were being
piled up In G. crashing heap. We
leaped for our lives, but poor
Carbaugh was the last to do so,
and was caught between two cars
which just crushed his bead caus-
ing; of course, instant death. Mr..
Carbaugh's body was taken to
Altoona, and inferred In the
"trainmen' IS row" IN the ceme-
terry"
Mr.. Carbaugh was born in this
county about 26 years ago. HIS
parents having both died, he was
taken to Miffiin, Pa, when about
six years of age, and there re-
mained until he was 18, when he
went to rallroading, and remain
ed at that business up to the time
of his death. "At the moment OF
his DEATH" says Mr.. Ambrose,
"Mr. Carbaugh was singing,
Home Was Never Like This. ,"

JACOB W. MELL0TT, DEAD.
Former Well Known Citizen of This Coun-
ty, Died After Short Illness at His
Home iu Minnesota.
RAN FOR SUPERINTENDENT IN 1872.

Jacob w. Mellott, a former well
known citizen of this county, died
at his home in Baldwin township,
Sherbourne county, Minnesota,
July 10, 1905, aged go years and
) months. His death was due to
Bright's disease, from which he
had suffered about three mon tbs.
Mr.. Mellott was son of the
late Elias Mellott, and was born
at the "Brick House" in Belfast
township, where he grew to man
hood working on the farm. On
account of the distance to the
nearest school, and the short
terms, he found himself at the
age of % without any "book" ed
ucation, except spelling, reading,
writing, and arithmetic to de-
nominate mum bers. He, at that
time, had never spent three
months, all told, in school in his
life.
During the sum mer of 1867, the
old Turkeytoot schoolhouse,
which stood across the hollow
north of David Harr s; was aban-
doned and a new house built
where j. Wesley Mellott's dwell
ing now stands, which was less
than half mile from the home of
the subject of this notice. The
editor of the News was the teach
er of the school that winter, and
Jacob was on hand the morning
of the first day of school, aud did
not miss day during the term.
He started IN with the determln-
alton of getting an education. AT
the end of the four mon this term
he could work any problem in the
arithmetic, had an excellent start
in English grammar, and was
well up IN all the other work IN
school. During the following
summer, he attended a summer
Normal school at McConn els
burg, and was soon teaching. He
afterward took course at the
state normal school at Mlllers-
vile, became a Normal school
teacher himself, and in 1872 would
have been elected County super
intendent had it not been for the
fact that a few directors failed tC
recognize his ability.
In 1874 he married Miss Rach
ell A. Fryman, of Ayr township
and later moved to McUonnells
burg, went into business, and
built the frame building that now
forms part of the Washington
House.
| Not beng satisfied with the op
portunlties offered for business
here, he, in 1886, removed with
his family to North Dakota, where
he spent four years as instructor
IN IN Indian school, from whence
he went to Minnesota, settling or
the farm where he died
The deceased was a consistent
member of the M. E. church.
Besides his widow, he is sur
vived by two sons and two daugh
ters and eight grandchildren
