Adjutant General Stewart has been engaged for the past three weeks in compiling a circular for the information and guidance of the National Guard of the State, which will give in detail the various changes to be made in the Guard uniforms, to conform with those to be adopted by the regular army under the War Department's general orders No.

132, to take effect July 1, 1903. The task has been an intricate one, involving changes of many descriptions in the various uniforms to be worn by the officers and enlisted men. The work is still in an embryo state and will not likely be completed for a week or ten days, if that soon. Consequently the provisions of the circular be carried into effect at the prescribed for the change cannot, in the regular service. In fact these alterations among the State troops will have to be made gradually.

Adjutant General Stewart declines to give out any information regarding the changes in advance of the circular. DISSOLVE THE UNION. An Active Fireman Says That Most of the Firemen in Town Favor Such Action. "Council at its next meeting," said one of the oldest active firemen of our department today, "should formally dissolve the present Firemen's Union, as it undoubtedly has a right to do. This would end all the squabble in the department and I know from conversak tions with a dozen or more firemen of different companies would be hailed with relief by nearly all the men in the department.

Council could then elect its own Chief and Assistant Engineers or could order the formation of a new Union, with adequate and well thought out by-laws, which would make impossible such a tangle as we have now. Either some such action must be taken soon or our department is ruined, and just at the time when thousands of dollars have been spent to make it first class." NEW BUSINESS BLOCK.

His arrest was effected by a Chamhersburg officer on a warrant issued at the of Pentz, who lives who works instance, Harvena 20 Frick shops. His allegation is that more than a year ago a man, who igned his name to a note as D. Mull," purchased at his sale a pair of mules for $230 and that he (Pentz) has not yet rceeived the money for the animals. At the sale Mull gave his note, as told, and said he was a sawmill man and that his address was Fort Loudon.

The note was endorsed by a man named McKee. There has been a long hunt for Mull and when he was found he gave bail for a hearing in Chambersburg Friday. He denied that he signed the note but insisted that his brother signed the paper. His name, signed as W. C.

Mull, Wm. C. Mull and G. D. Mull, is said to be on other worthless notes given at sales.

William Mull, charged with false pretense by Harvey Pentz, of near Old Forge, for the alleged purchase of a pair of mules and payment for the same by a note signed by G. D. Mull, upon which the money has never been paid, was given a hearing by Magistrate Seiders at 2 p. m. Saturday.

Mull was held for court giving $300 ba bail. Daniel Y. Snowberger, of near Roadside, and Frank Miller, of town, were at the office of Magistrate Seiders on Friday afternoon when Wm. Mull got his hearing for false pretense. He was identified by both men as the same fellow who got a horse, buggy and harness from Miller and a pair of mules from Snowberger by false pretense also, giving a note in each case which notes were accepted because of the allegations made as to a a a property owned by Mull and his endorser McKee.

MILES SPOKE. Opening Day at Pen Mar Park With Many Notables Present. Thursday was opening day of 1903 season at Pen Mar park. Many improvements have been made in of the silver jubilee of honor the resort, and it never before looked so beautiful. Large crowds of people were present, including many from here and Waynesboro.

The primary object of this event is the acquisition of funds to be used in purchase of markers for the graves of ex-Union soldiers, whose GENERAL NELSON A.

The weather bureau is giving assurance that the present cool wave will end within a very short period and by today the temperature will have an upward movement and that before many days are over people in this vicinity will be enjoying the usual June temperature and will have no further need of overcoats. The prevailing condition of the weather, while it does not break any records, is stated at the i weather bureau to be an exceptional one, from the fact that it continued so long. The cold weather experienced this way was due, it was stated, to the presence of an area of low barometer pressure extending over the Lower Missouri Valley during the latter half of May, attributed to a "drawdown" over the interior of the country, which caused a flow over that section of great masses of cold air from the Canadian north-west and from the Hudson bay regions. This condition continued there from about the middle of May to beginning of June: The effect of the inflow of cold air from the north caused on the other side of the immense swirl a corresponding inflow of warm air from the south extending over the eastern portion of the country. During the first half of this month the barometric conditions that existed over the West have been transferred to the East, and consequently the great mass of cold air that swooped down over that section of the country has been projected over the Eastern states.

The effect of this transposition has resulted in this section getting in a somewhat modified degree the rains and similar general conditions that prevailed during the latter half of May in the Central valleys, and causing nearly two weeks of intermittent rains, and the accompaning low temperatures, but in both cases the results were in a more modified form than was experienced in the West. A reaction has set in, and in the West a low barometric condition exists which is slowly moving East. While there has been no really marked change indicated the temperature is slowly moderating. NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH. COLD SPELL CLOSES.

Work Progressing Steadily. Will be Finished by Cold Weather. Slate to the Weight of 35 tons on the Roof. All that remains to be done to finish the exterior of the new Corpus Christi Catholic church on north Main street is to complete the beautiful stone front that work is going along finely and a conception of the massive and artistic beauty can now be formed. There will be few church edifices in the State of better design or handsomer effect.

D. M. Leisher, the boss slater, has gone as far as he can with the big roof and has already placed between 35 and 36 tons of slate on it. The roof cannot be finished until the front is done. The open space in the slating at the top is not an oversight but was left so that in the event of a tornado or severe storm the wind can find its way out without taking the roof along.

The fence has been taken away from the triangular strip of ground of the Miles estate property in front of the southwest corner of the church and a great improvement made in the general appearance of things. Rev. Fr. F. C.

Noel says he expects to have the church ready for dedication by the time cold weather comes along.
