Must Paw Former Love.

Media, Pa.--The $4,000 verdict given
pretty Miss Leonora Fill. of Chester,
in her breach of promise suit against
Horace Witsil, the real estate dealer,
has been sustained by Judge Johnson.
This suit has been pending for two
years. Miss Hill was wooed by Witsil
for a number of years, according to
her story, and had gone so far as to
purchase her wedding dress and spend
her time in making articles to make
their home comfortable after the mar
riage. Without her knowledge Wltsil
married another estimable lady, and
Miss Hill brought suit. She was rep
resented by one of the ablest lawyers
in the county, and his unmerciful
scoring of Witsil during the trial was
one of the reasons for which new
trial was asked.

PRIEST WHIPS A TRAMP.
Hobo Gets an Illustration Of Muscular
Christianity.

Indianapolis.-Rev. Francis Henry
Gavisk, one of the most popular men,
bers of the Catholic priesthood in In
diana, showed the other afternoon that
he had not forgot how to take care of
himself in a fight. He quickly disposed
of a tramp who insulted him at his
own home.
The tramp rang the door bell and
asked for something to eat. He was
insolent about it, but Father Gavisli
gave him a dime. At that the tramp
acted as If he was deeply offended.
do you think | am going to cheap
restaurant" he asked.
81 guess you don't want that dime;
so give it back" answered the priest.
The tramp replied with a string of
oaths that he wouldn't give up the
money, whereupon Father Gavisk
grappled with him. There was n short,
sharp struggle, which the priest won.
He not only recovered the money. but
showed the man into the street before
he could recover his balance. The
tramp attempted to renew the attack,
but the priest was too clever with his
fists to be injured.

COAL OUTPUT INCREASES.
Big Increase of Product in 1905 Shown
by Government Report.

Washington.-The geological survey
mas made public statistics on the pro
duction of coal in the United States in
i9oo' From these it appears that both
IN qu%"tity and value the production
surpassed all previous records in this
country. The output amounted to
392,3l9,341 short tons, which had a
value at the mines of $476,756 ,963
Compared with 1904 the output in
l9oo exhibits an increase of Al, ,1O2, ,943
snort tons, or Ill per cent. in quantity
and of S32 2,3S5,942, or 7.3 per cent. in
value
OF the total production of 1905, Co.
o39,lo2 long tons, equivalent to H.
o99,ooo short tons, were Pennsylvania
anthracite. with value at the mines
OF sl4l,S79,O 900. The total production
OF Dltuminous coal and Ignite was
ol5,259,491 short tons, valued at s334,-
SH,963. The production of anthracite
coal In Pennsylvania for 1905 was A.
ozo'ooz long tons, or 4,503,151 short
TONS, more than that of 1904, while
the increase in the production of BIZ
luminous coal and Ignite was $685.
SS2 short tons.
A portion of these increases in both
anthracite and bituminous productions
was due to the efforts of operating
companies to provide supply of fuel
In anticipation of strike in April,
1906.
The total production of this country
last year was nearly so per cent.
larger than that of Great Britain,
which until 1899 was the leading coal
producing country of the world.
The total value of the stone pro-
duced in the United States during
1905, according to forthcoming re-
port, was s63.79S,74S. The correspond.
ing value for 1904 was s5S,765,715.
The increase was caused by more
activity in the building trades.
The production of coke in the Unit
ed States during 1905 surpassed all
previous records in the history of
cokemaking in this country. The total
output of coke in the United States
last year amounted to 32,231,129 short
tons, against 23,661, 166 short tons in
1904.

Farewell to White SUGAR.

New York.-Unless the United
States pure food commission changes
its mind. the reorle of the United
States hereafter will have - use gran
ulated and other sugars that haze Il
distinctly yellowish tinge. The COM
mission has decreed that no mineral
blueing substance be used in bleaching
sugar. Sugar chemists say they use
four pounds of mineral blueing sub
stance to every one million pounds of
sugar, for the bleaching purposes.
This. the sugar chemists say. Is not
adulteration, but is merely purifica.
tion by thoroughly healthful process.
The pure food commission can not
see 1t in that light. and insists that
the whitening process be abandoned.

DOG JOURNEYS 500 MILES.
Animal Travels from Nebraska to Ole
Home in Iowa.

Des Moines, Ia.-Thin and gaunt, and
with no other instinct to guide him
save the memory of a warm kennel,
good food and an occasional caress, a
little Scotch collie dog sold to a man
at Valentine, Neb, by d. Weeks, of
this city, returned 500 miles to its for
mer master in Des Moines. So wabbly
and weak was the dog that had it not
been for a glad light of recognition
that sprang into his eyes as his for
mer master opened the door, he might
have been driven from the premises
Just low long the dog was making
the distance has not yet been ascer-
tanned, but with unerring instinct he
made his way over hill and prairie,
through timber and across rivers, final
ly arriving in Des Moines, where he
was given hearty welcome, warm
kennel and a hot bowl of milk for a
starter
Five weeks before a man from Val
entine, Neb., saw the collie, bought
him and took it back with him to Val
entine.
After the collie left his new home
he was seen at Fremont, Neb., where
some boys threw stones at him while
he was stealing meal from back
door. This was the report until he
appeared in Des Moines.
Mr.. Weeks was awakened by slight
scratching at the front door. On open
ing it he saw a shaggy. thin, dirty
little collie, and from his actions al
I fret indeed he was mad He soon
recognized his former pet, however
and declares he would not now part
with the animal for twice its value.

DESERTS WIFE FOR A souAw.
Wealthy Farmer Accused by Spouse
Who Then Puts Up Cash Bail.

Tacoma, Wash.-Charsed with the
desertion of his wife for the doubtful
attraction of Siwash squaw, William
Nottingham has been bound over for
trial at the next term of the superior
court at Conconnully. His wife, whom
he left in Adams county while he
maintained a second household at Con.
connully, secured his liberty by put
ting up $1,000 in cash.
Nottingham is wealthy rancher of
eastern Washington, having 440.
acre ranch near Lind, Adams county,
with many head of cattle and horses.
His wife, who has sued him for di.
vorce, estimates his fortune at more
than $4,000. They were married "a
years ago in Missouri and have eight
children.
Nottingham has always been highly
respected in Adams county and was
thought to be faithful husband and a
good father. Txa a.ess -.sies.i,..sss -
His double life began about three
years ago, when he took large band
of cattle to Okanogan county to feed
on the rich pasture of the Indian reser'
walton. He leased an allotment from
a squaw named Sophia San Pierre and
is charged with having become en-
amored of her. Since then he has
lived most of his time in Okanogan
county and has deceived his wife, she
claims, by telling her he was holding
down a homestead.

CHURCH WOMEN PICK APPLES.

Solve Labor Problem.

Louisville, Ill.-The women of the
Christian church of Flora are raising
money by novel means to pay off the

the labor question that is confronting
the apple growers of Clay county
They were given permission to haul
and sell to the evaporators the Gull
and windfall apples in the large or
chards in the vicinity of this city and
the entire feminine membership and
the Sunday school children gathered
apples in the Nancy orchard. The
women earned SIS for their days work
and will gather apples in other or
chards surrounding Flora every Sat
urday until the apple season closes.
Mrs. r. S. c. Reaugh, president of the
Ladies society of the Christian church,
has the supervision of the work.
Although the apple-picking season
will not open until later for the Ben
Davis apples estimates place the num-
Der of bushels of apples exported from
the five shipping sections in Clay
county at 100000 bushels, or nearly
$4,000 barrels. The five evaporators
in the county are using 5000 bushels
of apples daily and are estimated to
have used 10000 bushels of apples
this season. The apples are selling
readily and numerous buyers are in
the field. .s--,@1s2. a.s4s@r'-a.>. -
The labor situation caused by the
scarcity of hands is delaying the pick
