The Derrick's oil rej;ort for the month of July shows that in the Pennsylvania Hold "SI wells were completed, the new production was o,'Xa barrels and there were 104 dry holes.

An exchange relates this interesting method of how a ybting wife cured her husband of stay ing out late at night in an original way. Before going to bed she would place two easy chairs together be fore the sitting room grate of course this was never in "the good old summer time"- and then hold a lighted match to a ciuar until tho room had the faint odor of tobacco smoke. Although her hus band never said a word to her about no ticing anything upon his return, three "applications'' elicited a complete cure. While returning to her home at Go linza from Crown, last Friday, Miss May, daughter of Ephriaui Porter, had her left wrist badly dislocated. A lady rompan iou was with her in the buggy and their horso ran off, throwing both out, but Miss Porter was the only ono to sustain any injury. Dr. J. W. Morrow was called and rendered the necessary surgi cal relief. The railroad companies have notified the conductors and brakemen that they must not assist ladies getting on and off the trains hereafter. The ladies now spurn tho kind assistance of the railroad men. The summer girls have complained that the gr:my hands soil their dainty shirt waists. They do not want the trade mark of a railroad man on their Immacu late clothes. Our townsman G. W. Robinson, who is a member ol the Cherokee Oil A Gus Co., operating near Chelsea, Indian Ter ritory, has word from his people in that section stating that their production is now above 4,5(10 barrels per month, or more than 150 barrels daily. Their leases cover sovoral thousand acres, and up to this time they have lound no limit to the oil producing Band. The bridge company having the con tract for putting up the new span on the west end of the river bridge have a force of inon at work on the uew structure. It will require three or four weeks of favor able weather to complete the work, in the meantime it is the intention to keep the bridge open so as not to interfere with public traffic. The ne'w span will be a substantial affair and of modern design, How frequently we see horses reined with gag reins in such a manner that the poor animals are compelled to gaze con tinually at the glaring sun, with no pro tection for their eyes whatever. If the owner of these poor dumb brutes had their heads pulled back and fastened with a strap so that they were compelled to gaze at the sky wiili their eyes unprotect ed, 'we guarantee they would throw the check rein to the winds in less thau no time. , During the sovere electrical storm of last Wednesday a'ternoon a bolt of light ning s'i nick the dwelling of Mrs. J. G. Dale, apparently entering the building at the side of a window in the sitting room. A patch of plaster about the size of one's hand was knocked of tho wall where it entered, and from there it passed through a bookcase splintering it somewhat, tore the back of a picture frame, and appar ently passed out uear tho chimney. Mrs. Dale and her son, J. T., were in the room at the timo, but strange to say neither was shocked by the bolt, which tilled the room with sparks and smoke, A good deal of local interest was aroused last Wednesday by the catch of a big salmon in the Agnew dam above tho creek bridge. It seems that Masters Ben May and Clmrlos Bonner of Chicago, who are spending the summer in Tionesta, were fishing in the dam, and a storm blowing up they put to tdiore, leaving their lines out. When the storm a'ated they went out for their lines and to their great surprise and delight found a sal mon well hooked. After a struggle they succeeded in landing him, and returned homo with fish enough to satisfy the most enthusiastic disciple of Sir Izak Walton. Alex Mealy of Seattle, Wash., lias been with eastern friends for several days past and has been mixing business with pleasure wtiile meeting old acquaint ances. It Is very interesting to talk with Mr, Mealy about the wost, his long suit being lumber, of course, and what he does not know about that industry in Washington is scarcely worth mention ing, tie has seen scores of men iu or dinal y circumstances get rich lu a short time through timber deals whijh ho tins negotiated, and he says hundreds of sim ilar opportunities are still "lying out 'o doors" in that country, awaiting men w ho have the nerve to take hold of them. One of the older members of tho A. O. U. W. in this city, and therefore one of the oldest members of the order in tho country, says that there has been con siderable misunderstanding over a con templated raiso in the rates of assess ments. He stales tl.f supreme ofllcers de-dded that an incease was necessary, nut their action does not make the raise ef fective, as the grand lodges of the various stales must first sanction it. This lie says will not be done as there is a wide spread objection to tho raise existing among the members at large. The grand lodge of this state is not due to meet until October, I'.Mil, but a special meeting may be and probably will be called before that time. A. J.

The completion of the Ilerrs Island dam, near Pittsburg, the formal opening of w hich took place Monday, is an im portant step in the improvement of the Allegheny. The new dam gives slack water to nearly Freeport. The Pittsburg Press says: "The advantage of making the rivers slack water is shown by a com parison of the business done on the Mo iiongahela and Allegheny rivers. The tonnage passiug through the locks on the Mouongahela is something enormous whilo that of the Allegheny is compara tively insignificant. The latter has been made a basis lor argument by owners o the bridges crossing the Allegheny, wlio( are opposed to raising their structures. If the Allegheny had slackwater to Oil City a different tale would be told. Whon there is a mean provided for transport ing freight and passengers the husincft soon follows. A stream navigable all the year round is too iiuporiant a passage way to be long overlooked by the enter prising merchant and manufacturer. The river banks would soon be lined with in dustrial plants and tho owners of real estate along the Allegheny wouldquiekly liud themselves growing rich." Hon, and Mrs. N. P. Wheeler and family, of Endeavor, departed Wednes day ot last week on an extended pleasure tour which will consume the greater por tion of two months in its completion. Their first stop will be at the Thousand Islands, thence to Montreal and Quebec, and from there to Mackinac and San It Ste. Marie. Here Mr. Wheeler and Nel son Jr. will take leave of the other mem borsof the party and continue tlieir jour ney across the continent to the Pacific coast, wheie they have lumber interests. They will return via Denver, Salt Lake City and Omaha. From the ranks of pensioners on the rolls or tho Western Pennsylvania dis trict, l,Ht6 person have died during the year euded June 30. 1903, Of these 1,349 were veterans of the Civil War, 488 wid ows of vetorans of '61 G3, five widows of veterans of 1812, 14 veterans and five wid ows of veterans of the Mexican war and five among Spanish war eusiouers. The rolls gained 2,305 name-", 1,457 classed un der the Civil War, 402 under the Spanish war, including 303 transferred to this dis trict from Philadelphia rolls, and three widows of veterans of the Mexican war. Pensions paid during tho year from the Pittsburg ofllco amounted to $0,419,079 and the number of pensioners now on the rolls of the Western Pennsylvania dis trict is 47,S'J3. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Agnew and little daughter, Sarah Ellen, expect to leave next Monday for tiie Pacific coast, where they will enjoy the national G. A. R. encampment at San Francisco. From there they will go to Oregon , whore they will spend a mouth or six weeks with Mrs. Agnew's mother and brother, Rob ert Carson, and other relatives. Mr. Aguew will take in a good dual of the northwestern country, and may conclude to invest in some of the line lumbering opportunities in that section if lie finds anything to his liking. The trip will be a fine one and it is hoped lllay benefit Mrs. Agnew's health. They will make tho circuit from Chicago over the Union Pacific and roturn via the Noithern Pa cillc, covering a great scope of Uncle Sam's domains. The down train on Monday evening was delayed at this placo about an hour and a hall' by a small freight wreck at the siding here. A draw-bar on a gondola pulled out and let the car into the ditch, but as the train was moving si iwly no other damago was done, and in a few moments after the arrival of the wreck ing crew the track was again clear. Yes terday, just after passenger train No. 30 had passed down the river, the local freight wus standing at the lower end of this same switch, with no flagman out, when the wreck train came tearing round the sharp curve and crashed into the ca boose of the local, tossing it and a car of coal up ti e bank, thus delaying freight traffic for throe or four hours more. The fljgmau who was too tired to be at his post will likely got a "well earned" rest. Hon. Cadwallader Biddle and Dr. George I. McLeod of Philadelphia, mem bers of the State Board of Charities, were here last Friday and inspected the County Home and Jail, as is their cus lome oneo a yoar to do. Mr. Biddle who is the head of the Board, was greatly pleased with tho excellent condition existing at both institutions, and re marked to the County Commissioners that it was such a relief lo him to find that there Mas ono place where ho did not have to register a scolding that he was more than pleased to compliment them on he fine condititiou in which he found everything at these two institu tions. Coming from Mr. Biddlo, who is not in the least given to flattery, this is surely a nico compliment to the au thorities having in charge tho Home and thojail. Bnrslarr at Frybiirg-. Some time during Wednesday night of last week tho general store of George Fletcher, at Fryburg, Clarion county was entered by burglars and robbed of money and goods to the extent of about $20J. Tbo cash register was cai ried up to the cross roads, about half a mile from the store, broken open and its contents, con sisting of $12 or ?15 in change taken. Such goods as hats, shoes, clothing, watches and other jewelry, were nlso taken, and Mr. Fletcher eslima'es his loss to be at least $200. About the only clue left behind was an old hat which probably belonged to one of the thieves. This may possibly throw some light on the affair should any effort bo made to apprehend them. It is believed to havo leen the same gang that a few evenings prior forced an entrance into the Deilz hotel, just oppo site the Fletcher store, and abstracted considerable wine, cigars, etc. On this occasion three men were seen on the Fletcher stcie porch at a late hour by a citizen who had been out late attending a party. They were strangers to the young man who saw them, and w hen obsorved they made a lusty departure. It is thought they had intended to makn the raid on tlib store that night, but feared detection.

An effort is being put forth to arrange for a ball game, a tennis tournament and a shooting contest between Tionesta and our home boys lor next week. This cer tainly is crowding the sport but the boys say they must have a wholo string "of scalps. We hope to see them all. The loregoing paragraph is from last week's Marienville Express. The se quel follows: After tho appearance ol this squib the telephones were kept warm until a sories of sporting events had been arranged between the two towns. It was first hoped to ring in a ball game with the other events, but that could not well be done on so short notice. Well our friends from up on the summit arrived early in the day, and as soon as possible after dinner the sports began at both ends of the town. Th shooters repaired to the gun club's pleasant grounds on the island and a team match was quickly put on tho biords. Seven men from each club comprised the teams, and as they lined up and began business it look ed for a time like a pretty eveu go, but the Marienville boys, who had been ac customed to the Expert traps, lound the Maugatrap a much more puzzling propo sition, hence did not shoot up to their usual average. The same may be said of the Tionesta club, most of whom had not Lad any practice for several weeks. The score resulted iu Tionesta' s favor by a considerable lead 222 to 180. Notwith standing this the event proved au inter esting one from start to finish, and as only gentlemen were engaged In the con test, as is generally the case in trap shoot ing events, the best of feeling prevailed through the aftei no n. Following is the score, 50 birds to the man : Tl' nksta. 1st 25 2d 25 Ritchey 18 1034 McCrea 14 H 28 Tenders 17 2138 Willey 19 13-32 Wenk 17 1128 Hunter 14 1030 Clark 15 17 32 114 108 222 MARIKNVIM.K. 1st 25 2d 25 Keck 13 12-25 Keating 7 10 23 Mensch 10 1430 Amsler 14 1220 Shields ; 14 11 SfS Amor 10 1733 Cottle 11 13 24 01 "95 ISO Tho other events, such as doubles, walking shots and partner shoots, closed an interesting occasion at the shooting grounds. It was a great day for Tionesta sporting enthusiasts, for they won at every turn, as is shown in the summary of the tennis tournaments, which follows, and if we could only have had the ball team here what a string of scalps would row be dangling at the bells of the county seat braves. Why, it was even hinted lhat if Col. Carringor, tho undisputed champion of the checker board in Forest county, had been down, Ab. Grove might liuve taken the honors away from him also. Hut it was a pleasant occasion all round, and if our friends from the other end were not successful in the several contests, they seemed to enjoy thoir visit just the same, and we are suro their entertainers here were more than pleased with tho friendly call, which they hope to return in the near future. THE TKNN1S TOL'UNKY. Pursuant to agreement mado lust weok a party of gentlemen from Marienville visited hero on Monday to contest with the players from town for the county su premacy in the game of lawn tennis. The tournament comprised two match games in singles and four in double sets, all ol which were played and resulted success fully for Tionesta in every contest. The events were opened with a set in singles In which Mr. Buhl, of Mar ienville, was the opponent of Mr. II lingworth, of Tionesti, and resulted in a win with two straight sets for Tionesta by the final score of 6-2 and 6-0. Messrs. W. H. and S. L. Pickens, or Marienville, and Robertson and Camp bell, of Tionesta, contested in iloubUs and after two interesting sets the latter proved their prowess over their compet itors by capturing two sets in succession with scores of 6-3. 6-3. Mossrs. Keating and Buhl, of Marien ville, were next pitted against Messrs. A. B. Kelly and Illingworth, of Tionesta, in doubles. The latter gentlemen won the series with a final score ol 0-0 and 0-2. The next set iu doubles was contested by Messrs. Sabine and Keck, ol Marien ville, against Davis and Bowman, of Tio nesta. Tho first set was won by tho lat ter In easy form by tho score of 0-2. But the second set was hotly contested and the games were five all. The last game, however, was taken by Davis and Bow man, thus making two straight sets for them also, the final score being 0 2. 0 5. Tho closest and most interesting sets were those played by Amsler and Mensch of Marienville, against J. H. Kelly and Swanson, of Tionesta. The first set went to the latter pair 0-4. The second set was taken by the Marienville men 6 3. Then the Tionesta men took a brace and the deciding sot in hollow fashion 0 0., tho complete score of this series being 0-4. 3-0. 6 0. The concluding match of tho tourna ment was between Mr. Keating, of Mar ienville, and Mr. Davis, of Tionesta, and was won by the latter in straight sets with a final score of 0 2. 6 0. The total score of the match resulted in Tionesta winning 12 sets anil Marienville winning 1 and of the 105 games played Marienville got 30 and Tionesta 75, thus giving tho representatives t f the couuty seat a decided victory over their oppo nents. The tournament was watched by a largo and interested company of spectat ors, who were impartial iu tho distribu tion ofapplauso for tho competitors. "Tho visiting gentlemen made a fine im pression by their courteous bearing, and it will be a genuine pleasure to havo them come here again, when they may hope lor better success. Stewart I'uti.
