in Fight During Wedding
Special to The Telegraph

Williamstown, Pa, Nov. 2.--In a
free-for-all fight between Austrians
and Slavs in the foreign settlement
near here last night, at least a dozen
participants were slashed with
knives and razors and received bullet
wounds from revolvers. Two are seri-
ously injured and may die. Six others
have very bad cuts on the body, and
several more escaped with less in
juries. Paul Narsarus was found in a
dying condition in the attic of a house.
He had an ugly cash over the head.
Andrew Eripunco had his right arm
so badly cut that it may be necessary
to amputate it.

ately to-day to dodge responsibility
for the settlement of damage suits
against the Sonman Shaft Coal Com
pany, of Cambria county, brought by
widows and families of five workmen
who lost their lives in that mine
through defective machinery.
Mr. Mccormick tries to make it
appear that he was not a responsible
officer of that company and therefore
had nothing to do with its affairs.
But the court records show that he
was treasurer and director of the Som
man Shaft Coal Company, and Judge
Singleton Bell, of Clearfield, in let

The Real Test of Value

Publishers of magazines and
periodicals of general nature
are frequent newspaper adver-
tlsers.
They recognize the daily news
paper as the medium to use when
they want to make actual sales
of their product.
Announcements in the news
papers send people to the stands
to buy the publications.
In Just the same way the ad-
vertising of any National product
in the newspapers sends custom
ers to the local retailers to make
actual purchases.
OF all forms of advertising
one equals the newspaper for
Aaking sales.
After all that is the real test

Women Threaten Lives of Teachers

Boulder.-The lives of Miss Edith
Crandall and Miss Elizabeth Trezise,
teachers at Superior, have been
threatened by two women of the town
who have refused to buy books for
their children, according to a COM
plant which reached the sheriff. The
parents of some of the children in the
district have asked the school board
to purchase books for their children,
asserting that they are too poor to do
SO themselves. The refusal of the
board to take this step caused the
women to direct their anger against
the teachers, and when Miss Crandall
later whipped one of the boys for an
infraction of school rules, his mother
is said to have entered the school
room and threatened to stab the
teacher. County authorities are in
vestigating the case.

the doctor. Let us recognize honesty
and industry wherever found, and
the time will come when there will
be an army of bright, intelligent,
honest young men and women at the

at any honorable calling. Let US re-
member that the most beautiful lives
have blossomed in the dark places,

in the slimy, stagnant waters.

may and do secure to their possessors
an extreme superficial courtesy, but

Men Prefer Small Towns

A great deal has been said and
written about the desirability of
kiiving In great cities. but rs matter
sof fact there are no such thiLgs-sim-
bply because men do not live in them.
Even great city is but q union of
communities like this. London, the
largest city in the world, grew out of
n collection of villages that still re-
Ekain much of their old Identities. In
testigate Chicago or New York or
(eny other great city and you will find
chat, while men will huddle within q
Etmsll area for purposes Of business.
f4hey insist on getting out into the
Suburbs or into independent residen-
ttial sections for the purpose of living.
~ Now, living Is the most important
tbusiness that a man has to do. He
kpicks out location for q factory, .
{store or an office; and, whenever 1t is
possible for him to pick out the place
that he likes the best. he picks out q
tsmall town unless he is one of those
tfoolish persons who think that Joy is
Eto be found In cabaret and pleasure
Ein crowd. II the normal man can
Enot take up his residence In q small
that is his dream of the
Epture. 1883 .-4t-sss----,=.l1
Certainly those Of us whose lines
are cast In smaller towns therefore
ought to congratulate ourselves. We
have here one of the best towns In
the world, at least in the making.
We don't have to move to metrop-
oils to be happy, II our tastes and our
desires are normal. We can make
ourselves happy by trying to make
this not big town SO much as a
good one.
