An October Day Soft falls the sunlight on the field. Shorn of its fiercer rays. Coloring with crimson and with gold The green of summer days.
The purifying mists drift lightly down Veiling the distant hills. The frail age of orchards and of vine The air with incense fills.
So, in the Autumn of our years, Life’s pulses softly run, With game hope and faith undimmed, We view our setting sun. - Chas. W. Townsend

Surgeon W. T. McAdam, the youngest son of the late Rev. W. T. McAdam,
at the breaking out of the Civil War pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church here and afterwards chaplain of the 57th Pennsylvania
Volunteers, died recently of yellow fever at Key West, where he was
located as a member of the Army Medical Corps. Relics from the Philippines
Rev. George P. Donehoo, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, has
been presented with a number of relics gathered in the Phillipines,
principally on battlefields, by Rev. Joseph Hunter, of Jamestown, the
“fighting chaplin” of the famous Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment, which saw
hard service in that country.
The most interesting article in the collection, owing to the fact that
it once belonged to the noted Aguinaldo, is a small piece of decorated
china plate, one of the dinner set found in his residence at Mololoe
when the Tenth captured the city. Almost equally interesting,
from historical standpoint, is the cane made from the wood of the
Spanish warship, Velasco, which was destroyed in Manila Bay by Dewey’s
fleet, and which is tipped with a mauser shell. Two vicious
looking knives with long blades and sheaths, similar in outline to a
machete, are the formidable articles of the collection. They were
picked up on the battlefield at Poloe after the Filipinos had been
defeated and to all appearances had been used with effect.
The curiosities of the collection are a piece of this shell and a sharp
double pointed bamboo thong. The former is used by the natives
for window glass and is often beautifully decorated, making a pleasing
effect. The bamboo thong is a specimen of the mode of warfare
waged by the Spanish against the Filipinos. They were distributed
over the fields near the Spanish entrenchments, one point being driven
into the ground, and were so effectively covered by the high grass that
many a Filipino was almost impaled during a charge. Rev. Donehoo
values the collection highly and takes pride in showing it to his
friends. Mercer County Odd Fellows.
The following is a report from D.D.G.M. I.O.O.F. George Tribby, and is
addressed to the member of said craft:
To the officers and members of the I.O.O.F. for the jurisdiction of
Mercer County, Pennsylvania;
Brethren: I have completed my work as District Deputy Grand
Master of the I.O.O.F. of Mercer County and find the lodges in
excellent condition, being perfectly harmonious and prosperous,
increasing in membership and finances, the order now has 1,077 members
in good standing in the district and an aggregate wealth of more than
$50,000, while our sick list has been very heavy, some lodges have paid
out for weekly benefits over $1,300 during the year, and yet their
treasury is in good condition. The district paid in the past
year, $267.45 educating our orphans. I visited the home at
Meadville, Pennsylvania on October 17 and found 54 children, ranging
from one two fourteen years of age, all of which were being cared for
as well, if not better than they could have been if their parents were
living, everything comfortable in every respect and a beautiful
place. All of the children, except four attend public school in

The long drawn out Jamestown church case of Rev. J.R. Wallace against
the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian church of North America
was heard in the Supreme Court at Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Rev. Mr. Wallace was installed as pastor of the United Presbyterian
church at Jamestown in 1871, and he held that position until 1892, when
he and the session of his church began to disagree. The result of
this was that charges were preferred against Rev. Mr. Wallace in Lake
Presbytery. He was accused of failing a proper respect to the
session. There was a division in the church, many of the members
taking the side of the pastor. The Presbytery dismissed Rev. Mr.
Wallace from his congregation and he took an appeal to the Synod.
The Synod reversed the Presbytery and reinstated him, and the
Presbytery took an appeal to the General Assembly. The General
Assembly reversed the Synod. Rev. Mr. Wallace was dismissed
finally from his charge by this decision.
He filed a bill in equity against the General Assembly, asking that an
injunction issue restraining it from interfering with him in his
pastoral duties at the Jamestown church. Te bill was dismissed by
the lower court and an appeal was taken by Rev. Mr. Wallace to the
Supreme Court, and was heard as above stated. No decision has yet
been rendered. Needlework Guild Ingathering
The Sharon branch of the Needlework Guild of America will have its
annual ingathering of articles for the hospital and for charitable
purposes next Monday, Nov. 6th. Members of the Guild, who have
not been visited by a director, and wish to contribute, please send the
contribution, with name and name of the director to Miss Emma Bell, No.
5 North Water street.
The report of the Guild for the last year shows 303 articles and $5.25
received. Sixty-two articles were donated expressly for the
Elmira home. The Buhl hospital received what articles it needed,
and the rest was distributed among the poor by the directors, who gave
their personal attention to it, so that none but the most worthy and
needy were helped. The balance of the money, after sending the
yearly dues to Philadelphia, was made go as far as possible in buying
groceries.
A contribution of canned fruit, jellies, jams, etc., for the hospital
would be very acceptable. Any one wishing to offer such a
donation will please leave it at Hanlon’s or Caldwell’s grocery
store. – Sec. Of Guild. Sharon Markets

Nov. 1. The case against J.O. and Joan Anderson, on trial when
our report cleared last week, resulted in a verdict of not guilty and
the county pay the costs.
Harry Vernon, charged with burglary, was declared not guilty. The
parties to this suit reside in French Creek township, but sixty rods
apart, Mr. A.M. Dickson, the prosecutor, came home from grange meeting
on the evening of August 12, 1899, and found his house had been entered
and a revolver taken. He suspected the defendant and set a
neighbor to work to find whether he had the missing article. The
detective secured a revolver from defendant which the prosecutor
pronounced as his, by certain marks thereon, hence the suit.
Defendant proved a good character, his whereabouts that evening and
testified that he had secured the revolver from an uncle, in which he
was corroborated.
The case of Commonwealth vs. C.C. Campbell, alias Charles Cunningham
Campbell; indictment, first count, practicing medicine without a
license; second count, practicing medicine and surgery without having
exhibited a license to the Prothonotary; third count, practicing
medicine and surgery without being registered, occupied the entire day
Thursday and the jury were out all night. The defendant in this
case is a practicing physician in Greenville and been engaged in the
practice of medicine for over two years. The prosecutors were the
other physicians of that town, ten in number. The Commonwealth
offered in evidence the records of the State Medical Council which
disclosed that no license had ever been issued to this defendant.
The testimony of one of the prosecutors, a physician of Greenville, was
also presented, in which the witness said that defendant had told him
on several occasions that he was practicing without a license, and that
he had failed to pass the examination before the State Medical Board of
Examiners. Considerable discussion was had by the counsel for the
respective parties as to the admissibility of documentary evidence and
as to what books and papers constitute a record, and in this way the
time was mostly taken up, the actual testimony being very meager.
In defense, the records of Prothonotary’s office in Mercer were offered
in evidence showing that one Charles Cunningham Campbell was
registered, the record also showing that prior to such registration, a
license form the Medical Council was exhibited to the
Prothonotary. This was connected with testimony showing that the
person so registered was the defendant. The court in delivering
this charge to the jury, instructed them that a verdict of not guilty
should be returned on the second and third counts, and only submitted
to them for consideration the first count, or the question of having a
license. The jury after remaining out all night returned a
verdict of not guilty, and placed one-eleventh of the costs upon the
defendant and the balance upon the prosecutors. The Court
remarked to the jury that while he found no fault with the verdict, yet
he could easily see how they arrive at the conclusion found by them,
and that he presumed they considered the defendant a capable man to
practice medicine whether he had a license or not authorizing him to do
so.
A hearing was held before Judge Miller on Friday morning in the surety
of the peace case against John Carter. Edward Buckham Jr. , was
the prosecutor, and both parties are proprietors of rival bus lines
running between the hotels and the stations. The prosecutor
alleged that on July 28th of this year the defendant backed his bus in
such a manner as to collide with the vehicle of the of the prosecutor
which was standing at the Bessemer depot, and that since that time he
had on different occasions driven his bus against and broken the wheels
of the complainant’s hack. The prosecutor testified that he was
in fear of the defendant doing injury to his person and estate and
asked that he be bound to keep the peace. Witnesses were called
who related the occurrence. The defendant testified that he had
never on any occasion intentionally driven into Mr. Buckham’s bus nor
injured him or his property in any way. Judge Miller directed
that the defendant enter into his own recognizance in the sum of one
hundred dollars to keep the peace for one year towards all men, and
particularly towards Edward Buckham, Jr., and to pay the costs of this
proceeding. The drivers of the various bus lines were then
notified by the Court that there existed too much profanity and loud
talk at the stations while waiting for trains, and that there would
probably be an assault and battery committed some day, and that in such
an event and a conviction by a jury of the offender, he would be
committed to jail by this Court. The Court defined the duties of
the hack drivers and recommended that gentlemanly and courteous
treatment of each other be adopted, and if this was not done, that he
would bind each of them to keep the peace as fast as they came up
before him.

MOST BEYOND BELIEF If It Were NOT for Sharon Indorsement People Might be Skeptical. No wonder people doubt! So many statements are made. Statements indorsed by strangers. From people living in distant towns. Don’t know them and can’t see them. Such indorsement has s hazy aspect. Sharon people want local proof. That’s what we have here. It’s not beyond belief because it can be proven. Read a local citizen’s testimony.
Mr. Fred Saul, of 22 Fifth street, says: “Two dollars spent for
the Doan’s Kidney Pills did for me what two hundred dollars spend for
other remedies failed to accomplish. It was impossible for me to
stoop to pick up anything from the floor without severe pains in the
small of my back…..Learning about Doan’s Kidney Pills, I procured a box
at Chas. C. Irving’s drug store and took two pills at each meal.
They benefited me very quickly….” ________________________
