Since the last report sent to the
Republican time bas dealt ''fair to
middling with a rising tendency.
lh Jenks. Tbe ax of the festive
Bara Peeler swung lively all last sea-
on, but capital was light and ship
ments slow so that many of tbe boys
are yet short on the market. The
price of hemlock has ruled low, and
while millions of feet have been ship
ped, yet the margin of profft has
been so small that a few bad sales
abroad, or had luck at home, brought
thers to their knees, but left the ma
jority of shippers still on deck, hop
ing that a boom will strike the Sal
mon and Millstone before long.
To commence at the south ; Curl!
Campbell & Co. keep tbe machinery
moving pretty steadily, but have noth-
ng uew t report aince our list, but
the gas well. The men use it fr fuel
in their hoiie, while a great light
placed near Gilfoyle station, keeping
Scott M 'hney's chicken coops warm.
Scott also uses it as a labor savior
machine by placing a small light close
t the atore and station platform. No
record has been kept of the whiskers
burned, shawls singed, dresses scorch
ed, or number of children consumed ;
hut the fact that it saves Scott shovel
ing the snow off that platform is patent
to the most indifferent observer.

We have bad two entertainments
here, one a musical a flair in the Pres

church funds.
Miss Maud Davis of your town
kindly stayed ber Boston trip
for a week and cave na the bench t
of ber talent. She ant only cap
Hired the audience by ber brilliant
niano music, but the modesty with
which she received the thanks, con
gratulations, and compliments pa;d to
her during the evening was as, Mrs
Partington would put it a "parable to
the whole circus. The entire pre
formance waa satisfactory, and the
audience generous io applause. Ow
tog to bad weather and bad mads the
proceds were not immense, but prob
ably enough to stop Curt. Sbawkey
Prothonatory etc, from wearing
church bill of feea next hia heart ant
longer, and the Tionesta printers will
be able to pay the devua week s wages
aud cive the trustees a receipt. Tbe
thero performance was that of an am
atuer troupe from Byrom and Frosts
they played "the victim of the bottle
or "The social class" and did it well
considering all things. During the
previous week some wags tried to
make the boya nervoua by burling at
them aucb trifles as, "shake not those
gory lock me," and, "the villitn still
pursued her," etc., etc., but it wouldn i
work worth a nickle. In religious
matters we move along smoothly

old stand by, Rev. Hickling of your

popular up ber-', and we are thankful
to the church at Tionesta for sparing

boys who are both weak ia tbe knees
and io the faith wish be would not
make that second prayer so long.

1 nomas iNugeot, one of tbe well
known men ot the county, died oi
blood poisoning, March 2ud. He was
born 1810 in Cambria Oo. Fa.,; be
came to Jenks twp. in 1840. He was
the last of his family. He was hunter,
rapper, and guide, spending most ol
his time that way. In a copy of tbe
F .rest Press of July 1st, 1876, our
own historian, Sao. u el D. Irwin, has
this to say of bim. "In 1840, solitary
and alone, without chick or child, came
Thomas Nugent, and built a cabin in
tbe wilds of Jenks, where b still
resides. He bas performed tbe parts
of farmer, surveyor, and hunter. He
once, by way of diversion, crawled
nnder a ledge of rocks and captured
a den of young wolves. There were five
in the lot of which, he says, I killed
our. but saved the fifth for luck for a
pet, but it soon became ugly and kill
ed my dogs and cats, when I cooked
its hash with a bullet, tb latch
string to Tom s cabin is never pulled
in and to arrive at bis cabin is the
weary fisbermaua hope and tbe hunt
ers delight.
For tb benefit of your non resident
subscribers who are land owners, and
also for tbe benefit of some folks, who
might know, but wont, at borne, we
give the tollowing school history show
ing what has been done:
In 1880 tbe Township had four
schools, time 6 months, levy 6 mills,
wages loU per. month, and only one
school house worthy of the name, and
that nothing extra, while tbe furniture
waa tbe old pine desk and beflcb, pop
station about 250 in the Township.
In 1880 and 1881 4 schools, time 7
months, levy 7 mills, wages 133; pop
ulation 2lb.
In tbia year the railroad was com
pletd to Manenville, and one train
ronninr.
In 1881 and 1882, schools 4. time
months, levy 8 mills, schools 5 mills
building, wagea $33; Population 350
In this year tbe old log school house
at Roses, built in a grave yard turn
bled down, a new house was built at i
cost of $690, new furniture placed
tberei'i, and also tbe Marienville
school, at a cost for both houses of
$320. A state map was placed iu
eat h school and the board borrowed
$300 for 2 years.
In 83 and 84. schools 5, Mm
months, wages $37, levy 8 mills
school, 3 building. This vear a new
school house was built at Gilfoyle at a
cost of $727, and furniture, $135. In
obedience to law a school was opened
at Reck a mill in a temporary build
ing. All bouses worth ioscreing, all
furniture well insured and county maps
placed iu every school. The grade
of eertincats required was higher than
formerly. In '84 and '85. Schools 6,
time 7 months, wages $37 , levy 9
mills school. 6i building.
This vear a new school house was
built at Bvrom'a at a cost of $654
$126. for furnitnre and insured The
year previous, Mj. Walter Byrom had
provided the school mom at Ms own
expense, ropuiatton oou.
In '85 and '86 schools 5, time 8
months the wages $40. levy 9 mills.
school, and 4 building.
In the vear the Mercilliott and Reck
achools were discontinued, and a new
school bouse built between the two,
to which all the scholars of those
schools could go, thus saving the ex
peoses of one school. Toe schoo
house at Mcrcillintts, was old and
small and not fit for its uses aov Ion
ger, and the saving of the expenses
of one schoo for two years built the
new house. The house at Eldiidge's
cost $654. furniture $120. and ws
insured. Iu this year tbe loan of $300,
waa paid. Population 800. Iu ibis
year the grade of certificate required
waa professional.
Io '86 aud '87. schools 5. time 8
mouths, waees $40. levy 10 mills,, lu
this year the school lots were fence
and cleared, school books furnishri
under the uew law, and a copy o
Websters Unabridged Dictionary
placed in each school. Population
about 950. The population is figured
en a basis of five persons to the vote
of each year.
In 1880 Jenks twp. had 4 schoo
but only owned i of an acre of ground
it bad one old log school house built
in a grave yard al Roses, it bad
a a 'ii a I . s riff
house at aierienvuie ouni in 100
and still in use ; one at Mercilliotts
a small affair on lessed grouud, and
nearly aa old as the Manenville, house
In 1687 it has four good school houses,
frame weatherboarded, painted, lath
ed and plastered, and on stone foon
dation ; it has one old house at Mar
ienville, lhat the Board ia trying
make do nntil it knows just what tb
future will require. All tbe bouses
are well furnished sad til icsurded
Now, they are so built, and at soch
points in tb twp. that, except at
Marienvill, a new bouie will not b
required for years to come. Each one
f tb new bouses bas on acra of
ground. That at Rose's was given by
he Enterprise Transit Co., A. B.
lowlaud Act. That at Gilfoyle by
Curll Campbell & Co. That at By
rows byUeo. W. Means, and Congress
man White of Brookville. You will
see how generous these parties were
when you remember that every one of
them are heavy taxpayers. That at
Eldridges wss given by tbe late D. 8.
Eldridgo and his son Charles D. El-
ridge, following tbe good examples
of the others. We follow this up with
some ngures to show bow tbanktul
some of tb kickers should be, and as
solemn warning to the men who
squeal al home about school tax.
ihe whole amount of unseated
school tax fur 1886 and '87 is 1847.37.
be seated tax is 617.54 or, in round
utuber, about J of tbe whole. Of
this unseated tax, ten dollars anyway
will be exonerated, leaving $607.54.
Of this $143 85 is paid by persons who .
ive neuhor to thia twp. nor county,
eaving $463 69 for the resident tax
payer, ut this nearly izun is paid by
x farms or persona vix ; Curll Camp
bell & Co. W. Byrom & Co. J. D.
Iunt. J. II Menoh, and A. K Shipe,
eaving about $265 for the average
seated lax pavor to put up. Again,
of this $463 69 $218 61 are paid by
persons having no child to send to
school, leaving those having children
just $245.18 to pay this last year for
8 mouhs school and books thrown in.
These figures are very suggesting and
tbe fellow who squeals on a hrty
cent tax wants tn ibiuk them over a
little, and the partiea who howled $4,
000 school house when there waa just
a seventy-five cent one in view want to
weep over them a trine and repsnt of
their rash expressions. The school
Boards of the last 7 years have noth-
ng to be ashamed of, nhe work bas
been well, wisely, and economically
done, and theunseated tax paid the
hills. The comfort to tbe wild land
