"The tree of deepest root is found
least willing to leave the ground," and
this could once have most truly been
said of chronic pain of any sort. But
after the lapse of so many ages, a
sovereign remedy has beeo found in

may be expected by those who attend.
The failure of the Delamater
banking house of Meadville, of which
Senator George W. Delamater was one
of the principal members, is among
the surprises of the week. It was
supposed that the institution was as
solid as a rock. The withdrawal of
large deposits right after the election
is attributed as one of the causes of
the failure. The firm has made an
assignment for tho benefit of creditors.
Don't Overlook This.
This week most of our subscribers
will receive a sample copy of the
Philadelphia Weekly Press, splendid
ten page, mammoth paper, containing
enough reading matter to keep an or
dinary man busy a whole week. The
paper costs subscribers one dollar a
year, but we have made arrangements
with the publishers whereby we can
furnish it in connection with the
Forest Republican at an advance of
only 25 cents on the price of the
Republican alone, and this offer ex
tends to old as well as new subscribers.
This is the plan : To old subscribers
who pay up all arrearages and one
year in advance with an additional 25
cents, the two papers will be sent. To
all new subscribers who pay one year
in advance aud 25 cents extra, we
send both papers, making the cost of
both but $1.75. Examine the Weekly
Press and see if it is not worth 25
cents to you for a year, and then
grasp this splendid opportunity.

two set double harness, three single

Those wishing to purchase anything in
this line should remember the date.
Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Shriver, for
the past ten years residents of Kansas,

after a good long visit with friends,
and general renewal of acquaintance

the first named lady as a sister of Mrs.
Dr. Whitley, with whose family she

Miss Whitley was a babe when her
parents moved from this place.
The Marienville Express, pub
lished at Marienville, this county,
Messrs. A. II. & A. F. Smith,
proprietors, is a new journalistic can
didate. It is a six column paper, and
present 1 a creditable appearance for
the Art, issue. Its editors iotiraate
the purpose of their paper to be for
the welfare and upbuilding of the
town aud commuulty in general, in
which laudable effort the Republican
wishes its new neighbor abundant suc
cess. Shake, Bros. Siniih tQT.
The Franklin News comes danc
ing along on the high road of success
with ao additional column to each uf
its four pages, a "swell" that was made
necessary by a pressure of advertising.
It notifies its readers that just as soon
as that "brevier" town fails to proper
ly support a "nonpareil" paper these
extras will be lopped off, which is the
correct thing to do, of course. But
we hope and believe the News will find
its excellent self compelled to run jn
at this broad gauge gait, and perhaps
take on still more before long.
As perhaps all the schools in the
county are now "taken up," a refer
ence to sending their monthly reports
for publication in the Republican
may not be amiss. While we shall be
glad to publish these reports and thus
encourage the scholars and teachers to
labor for the best results, the teports,
because of the large number of them,
must be necessarily short. Give num
ber of pupils enrolled, average attend
ance, per cent, of attendance and
names of those pupils only that have
been present every day during the
mouth. This much will always be
published.
Barnett township has lost one of
its estimable, Christian women, in the
death of Mrs. Amy Knhn, which oc
curred at her home Nov. 27. 1890, of
canoer of the stomach. Mrs. Kuhos
was aged 66 years, and was beloved
by all who knew her. She was a
member of Greenwood M. E. Church,
and of the W. C. T. U. Of a very
quiet disposition, yet with a firm be
lief in all that was right, she left
abundant evidence that she has gone
to rest with the blessed. 8he leaves
six sons, three daughters, a number ot
grand children, and a host of other
friends to mourn her demise. She
will be much missed in her home and
in this community. The funeral took
place the Sabbath following her death,
her remains being inteired in Green
wood cemetery, beside those of her
husband who preceded her in death
some twenty years. The obsequies
were vory largely attended.
Harris A Forrester's Lyceum
Theatre Co. gave two excellent shows
at Landers' opera house, on Monday
and Tuesday evenings, and to-night
will give another equally fine. The
bouse was well filled both nights, and
should be while the troupe remains
here, the balance of the week, not only
because the performances are well
worth the admission fee, but because
they deserve well of nur citizens, the
men folks having turned out at the fire
Monday morning and did noble work.
One of them bad his head badly singed
by the flames which were reaching out
toward the M. E. Church. Our citi
zens can show ibeir appreciation no
belter than by attending the perform
ances, which are very chaste and
strictly first class.
The State Board of Health has
issued a circluar to the clergymen of
the State in which it asks those of
them who live in cities and boroughs
to urge the municipal authorities to
adopt an ordinance relating to public
funerals. A section of an ordinance
quoted by the circular reads as fol
lows: "There shall not be a public or
church funeral of any person who has
died of Asiatic cholera, small pox,
typhus fever, diphtheria, yellow fever,
scarlet fever or measels, and the family
of the deceased shall in all such cases
limit the attendance to as few as possi
ble to prevent exposure of other per
sons to contagion or infection, and the
person authorizing the publio notice of
death of such persons shall cause the
name of the disease to appear in pub
lio notices."
Tho question : "Shall women be
admitted into the General Conference
as lay delegates," has been submitted
to the congregations of all the Meth
odist churches in the United States,
and the members of each were allowed
to vote upon it. The voting was all
done during October and November,
mainly in the latter month. Results
from the churches throughout the
country are not all in yet, but the
Philadelphia Methodist says to-day
that enough of the returns have been
received to show that the women have
carried the day, and so far as the pop
ular will goes they are entitled to seats
in the General Conference as lay dele
gates. The vote everywhere was com
paratively light, and in Pennsylvania
the sentiment seems to have been
against admitting the women, the vote
standing 2,014 for, and 3,269 against.
The total vote thus far stands 17,338
for, and 10,619 against, 699 churches
having been heard from.
The following seasonable observa
tions come by way of the Blizzard: In
purchasing Christmas presents the
purchaser should not go beyoud his
means. The secret of success in gift
giving is not io the expending of large
sums, but in loving thought upon each
gift provided. Everything is usually
successful in proportion to the amount
of thought that has been put into it,
whether it be a banquet, a costume, or
book, or the making of a simple gift.
If you are cramped for money, do not
think you need to spend much for
Christmas gifts. The thought shown
in a longing Christmas letter, a simple
verse, or a pen and ink sketch, may
give as genuine pleasure as a present
of pearls. Reflect well upon the
peculiarities and needs of the friend
whom you wish to please. Then
chose your gift carefully. Finally,
after it is choseu and delivered, do not
refer to it again in the way of self
congratulation upon your cleverness.

TIONESTA'S BIGGEST BLAZE I
Three of her Main Business Blocks
Licked up by the Fiery
Element.
Monday morning last, between the
hours of 2 and 3 o'clock the cry of
fire was heard in our borough, and of
course in a very few moments almost
the entire populace was on the rnn.
The fire, which proved the most de
structive that has ever occurred in our
town, originated in the J. M. Kepler
building, occupied by David Barnett
as a general merchandizing establish
ment, and dwelling; also by Mr. Ralle,
the watchmaker, and by Sires' photo
graph gallery up stairs. Wbeu dis
Covered it had gained too much head
way to be controlled, aod it was very
evident that all the adjacent buildings
must go with it. The whole inside of
the building was literally packed with
smoke before aey flame was visible,
and to get in to save anything or even
to discover where the blaze was, would
have been a physical impossibility.
The work of saving other property
was then begun, and the first efforts
were directed toward saving the house
hold goods of Joseph Clark, who oc
cupied the dwelling portion of the
Acomb building, all of which was
accomplished in a very short time.
Next came G. W. Bovard's grocery,
drug, aod feed store, which was riddled
of its contents as fast as willing work
ers could do it. Also Mrs. Bovard's
fine stock of millinery goods, occupy
ing the second story of the building.
During all this time the flames were
spreading very rapidly, aod the work
of fighting them with all the persist
ency of determined men was bravely
carried on. At one time it looked as
though the Lawrence House, opposite
Baroett's store, must surely succumb
to the flames, but a trifling shifting of
the little breeze that was stirring saved
it, with no further damage than a se
vere blistering of the front. It was
evident to all that when the fire should
reach Bovard's building it would take
extraordinary efforts to save the Law
rence & Sniearbaugh store building
directly opposite, and but for the tore
thought and prompt action in getting
the entire front curtained with carpels
and the organization of a good water
brigade to keep the carpets thorough
ly saturated it would have gone with
the rest. As it was, it was nut so
much as scorched. .
The M. E. Church, just south of
Bovard s, had a very narrow escape.
The snow on the roof and the brick
wall helped to protect the edifice, al
though the cornice and bell tower were
somewhat scorched.
During all the commotion the fire
extinguisher was kept in play with
very little delay in refilling, while the
three small ones did good service.
The' stillness of the morning was one
of the lucky features, for it wouldn't
have taken much wind in almost any
direction to have carried the flames
to other buildings and caused much
greater loss.
The origin of the fire is uuknowo,
but that it started in the rear of Mr.
Barnett'8 store, in what he used as a
sort of wareroom there is scarcely any
duubl. Those who arrived at the
scene first found almost the entire
building filled with stifling smoke but
could see no flame; so stifling was the
smoke that one could not endure it
long enough to go in and investigate,
and the first sign of a blaze was
through the crack over the door in the
rear of the building leading from the
wareroom mectioned. Mr. Barnett is
unable to account for the fire, and says
his first intimation of anything wrong
was on being wakened by his brother-in-law,
a young man who clerks for
bim, and who was sleeping io the same
bed with him. At that time the room
was filled with smoke, and all be could
do was to grab his trousers aud vest
and make his escape. He had return
ed on Sunday eveuiug from Titusville,
where bis wife aod children are visit
ing.
Mr. Ralle, who occupied the room
adjoining the store on the north side,
and sleeps in the rear end of it, says
he was awakened by hearing some
thing drop, aud raised his head to
listen for the cause, when he noticed
bis lamp, which be had left burning,
was almost invisible, am at that mo
ment he discovered the smoke in his
room. Without waiting to dress he
ran to the front door and yelled "fire,"
then returned to put on enough of his
clothing to protect his body partially.
He says he saw no one when be came
to his door, aud thiuks he was the
first to give the alarm.
THE LOSSES.
Mr. Barnett estimates his loss io
store goods at $3,000; insured for
$5,000; net loss 3.000. His house
hold goods were insured for $600. He
rescued his bocks and accounts which
he was in the habit of keeping near
his bed.
J. M Kepler, loss on building
$1,500; insurance $1,200; net loss
$300.
Ii. Ralle, loss on clothing, furniture,
watches, Ac, $125; no insurance.
J. W. Sires, loss on photographic
materials, about $150, with no insur
ance. Edward McKean, operator of the
gallery, also sustained a loss of about
$150.
Dr, J. L. Acomb, loss on building
$1,500; no insurance.
Joseph Clark's furniture, although
carefully handled, was still damaged
considerably.
O. W. Bovard, loss oo building
$2,500; iosuaauce $1,000; net loss
$1,500. His stock of groceries, drugs,
tS'c., was large, am! while it was about
all taken out his loss in damage to
same will be considerable. Ou his
stock he carried an insurance of
$2,500.
Mrs. Bovard's loss on millinery
goods was quite extensive, but we
have no estimate of it. SLe had no
insurance.
Mr. Butler, who occupies the little
building to the north of Baroett's
store, removed all his household effects,
but the building did not burn, although
considerably charred.
Altogether the fire was the worst
our town has yet had, and considering
the limited means the borough has to
fight fire, it is fortunate it was no
worse, as it might have been.
bparks.
The women, like ministering angels,
passed around but coffee during the
fire, which was most stimulating to the
exhausted workers, and went far
toward keeping up their spirits.
The male members of the Lyceum
Theatre Co. turned io and worked like
bcavrs. Oue of them seemed to have
had experience at the business of fight
ing fire, and showed exceptional brav
ery. It would be unjust to single out this
or that one as having done well where
all did their duty so nobly, with one
or two exceptions perhaps.
Mr. Bovard has moved his stuff into
the room formerly occupied by Her
man & Siggios, iu the Kepler block,
corner of Bridge aod Elm Sts., where
he will continue bis business until he
can rebuild, which he intends doing as
soon as the weather will permit.
Mr. Barnett tells us he intends to
resume in a short time.
A subscription was raised for Mr.
Ralle, which has given him some tem
porary relief.
The Oil City Blizzard says: In re
sponse to a message from Tionesta,
about 4 o'clock this morning, the Fire
Department was ready to put a steam
er aud detachment on the cars when
notice was received that the fire was
under control.
Prof. Barrett of St. Lawrence county,
N. Y., speaking of pulmonary diseases,
says : Not one death occurs now where
twenty died before Downs' Elixir waa
