UP AT JOHNSTOWN

Johnstown, Pa.-Workmen engaged
In the laying Of the large water main
Of the Manufacturers Water company
in the bed Of the Conemaugh at the
stone bridge, have unearthed all that
is left of the skeletons of at least
eight victims of the Johnstown flood
of 1889, which were gathered into
one bag and sent to Grandview cem-
etery for interment in the unknown"
plot.
The bones were located at an aver
age depth Of seven feet, where the old
bed of the Conemaugh before the
flood was found. The first four feet
excavated consisted Of deposits in the
bed of the stream within the last
20 years and three feet underneath
was found nothing but wreckage con-
tanning relics Of all kinds, which have
been eagerly appropriated by the relic
hunters.
An agitation some years ago to
dredge the bed of the Conemaugh at
this point down to the bed of the old
stream was allowed to die out, and as
the skeletons were located within a
space seven feet in width that is be-
ing excavated for the pipe line. 1t Is
generally believed that hundreds OF
skeletons would be recovered II the
entire bed of the stream were cleaned
out to its former regular depth.

SHIRTS AID SOCKS
He HAD II PLENTY

Mark Moorhouse, local representa-
tive of the New York Underwriters
Agency. is in receipt of a letter from
F. NJ. Branch, the superintendent OF
insurance agencies who is we'll known
in Pendleton, which shows that the
popular insurance man has lost none
OF his sense of humor. The letter in
part, is AZ follow:
My Dear Mark:
Referring to loss under policy No.
703493. have to say that We are send
ing you drafts under separate cover
In looking over the schedule of loss
I find that the gentleman Is possess
ed of more than the average quantity
Of shirts and socks, for We find that
he makes a claim for II shirts and
- pairs of socks and Notwithstanding
the large quantity Of shirts and socks
he seemed to have had onry eight col
lars at the time Of the fire.
We think you will agree with Us
that these quantities are somewhat
out of proportion.
We also note that Mr.. had
gotten together q lot of laundry, and
placed II in the closet, which ex-
plains why three were 50 many OF
one article. Inasmuch as he lost II
shirts and "a pairs Of socks that were
prepared for the laundry, It seems9fail
to assume he had an equal quantity
on hand not soiled. and while we
have no doubt that you have giver
this loss your very careful attention
It does seem as though Mr..
had been investing quite heavily II
wearing apparel, for we should sa,
that he has about So shirts and not lea
than 40 pairs of socks.
Mr.. must be new arriva.
IN Pendleton, for I think any mar
that was the posseesor Of such g
large quantity Of clothing would have
attracted considerable attention wher
he walked the streets Of Pendletor
during the times I have visited your
little city.
I also do not understand why MT
had such an inexpensive bath
ing suit, for I note he valued same a
only so cents, but I presume tha
he used It only on extra occasion!
when he and John Bentley went fol
an outing at Bingham springs.

THE FAT FROM THE FLOWER.

There is not a single kind of animal
food which we might not replace with
vegetable counterpart. In most cases
it is merely matter of choice which is
preferable, the animal or the vegetable.
In the matter of cooking fats, however,
the vegetable has by far the advantage.
Lard is made from the fat of hogs
often impure and unclean, always indi-
gestible. Cottolene comes from the cot
ton. fields of the Sunny South. 1t
makes food that can be digested with
ease, even by invalids. Cottolene is rec
commended alike by physicians and noted
cooking experts as much more healthful
and desirable than lard.
