Hanover, Pa., July 30.—The re survey of the historic Mason and Dixon line has been completed by the surveyors jointly employed by the States of Pennsylvania and Mary- land. When the Legislatures of these states decided not to allow the famous boundry line to lose ite markings and drop out of existence, so far as visible signs are concerne’, they undertook a work that proved difticult and tedious. The surveyors were obliged to cut a path through the mountains, and they found many of the old markers and crown stones displaced. In Adams County, Pennsylvania, one stone was used asa door gill in a dwelling, another ina church, some had been used in bake ovens, and others Were lying considerable dis- tances from their orginal places, All were recovered, although not with- out vigorous objection on the part of the people who were using them. The work of reestablishing the line was carefully done, and the old stone posts set along its course after Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon marked it out in 1763 were reset in solid cement bases, and iron posts were substituted in places where the old posts have disappeared. The Mason and Dixon line was the result of a dispute between the States of Pennsylvania and Maryland over their respective boundaries as de- scribed {n their charters, and prior to the Civil War was popularly accept- ed as the dividing line between the free and the slaveState. The bound- ary was marked by milestones, every fifth one having the arms of Lord Baltimore engraved on one side and those of William Penn on the other.

Young, of Clay, N. Y., did. She says: “I had neuralgia of the liver and stomach, my heart was weakened, and Icould not eat. I was very bad for a long time, but in Electric Bitters, I found just what I needed, for they quickly relieved and cured me.” Best for weak women. Sold under guarantee by Frank T.

To Cure a Cold in One Day, Take LAXATIVE BROMO QUI- Cow Kills Bear in Fight. Parkersburg, W. Va., July 31 .— Leonard Green, a farmer, who lives three miles from Keystone, was awakened by a racket in the stable, The bawling of a calf confined in this stable, together with sounds of blows, caused Green to think that his mules had got loose and were kick ing his calf to death. Armed with pitchforks, Green and his son went to the stable, arriving there only in time to see a large bear climbing the fence back of the barn. Green found the calf torn and bat tered. He immediately set his dogs on the trail and a fight ensued tn which the bear whipped both of the dogs and escaped. Believing that the bear was gone for good, Green put his wounded calf in a shed and went back to bed, but had not fallen’ asleep before the bear returned and carried off the calf. When pursued the bear threw the calf over a high fence and followed {t into the pae- ture, where a cow was confined. A battle ensued between the bear and the cow, which ended by the cowgor- ing and tearing the bear to death. The bear weighed 350 pounds, It had been a terror to sheep and stock raisers of the neighborhood for sev- eral years and had cost the farmers many hundreds of dollars in loss of stock, Roosevelt Sends His Book to Folk.
