In the second installment of Nc
Clure's great serial, ''The Story of Mon
tana," Mr.. Connolly relates the disco very
of copper at Butte hill, and the beginning
of the great feud between Marcus DAILY
and William A. Clark. This story is

fascinating of political dramas that has
occurred since the Civil War.

livery business to Isaac Mccoy of Tones
ia, and Harry Potter of Fox Creek, Green
township. The new firm will take pos
session of the stables on the 10th of Sep

ness men, will undoubtedly make a sue

cry business in this place that his retire

The Johnstown Democrat makes the
following magnanimous proposition:
"Tne Democrat is still willing to arrange
with anyone who wants a job to fish on
shares. We will let anyone go fishing
who chooses to do so and give him half
the catch as his share" The Democrat

Bush, of Tionesta, Pa. Gould Mr.. Bush

ment the Johnstown editor would be
more than gratified over the results. A
personal acquaintance with John guar
antees us in the suggestion.-Oil City

have pronounced coeducation in the high
school failure, and the boys and girls
will be placed in different buildings as
soon as the necessary arrangements can
be made. The principal trouble with
coeducation, it is stated, was that the boys
and girls became so interested in social
functions that they neglected their studies.
