Walter J. Smith, father of our
former townsmon, C. W. Smith, died
at his home near Warren on the 30th
ult , as a result of tn accident from a

many of the old time lumbermen of

spent many years of his life.
An exchange is responsible for
the statement that there is an element
in the common pineapple similar to
pepsine, and of such remarkable
strength that the juice of a single
apple will digest ten pounds of beef.
It further states that the juice of the
fruit is a very active solvent of tho
incnibraue caused by diphtheria.
The Memorial Home cook book,

dred and forty to fifty pages and will
be ready for delivery about the first of
May. The contributors cover a wide
range of the States and include many
valuable recipes. We have no doubt
it will find a ready sale and that the
W. R. C. will make a cice revenue
therefrom. Tidioute Neivi.
To those who would enjoy a really
rich musical treat, we would say, go
and hear the famous New Orleaos
University Singers, at the School Hall
to night. It is not often a town of the
size of Tionesta is favored with a per
formance as meritorious as this will
be, and it should be well patronized.
There is nothing fiuer on the road in

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kirchartz

Charlie was given a royal send-off by
his friends in Brookville, where he and
his better-half are deservedly popular,
and if there is any rice or old shoes
loft iu the place it is because his rig
was not large enough to carry them
away.' The Republican joins in ex
tending the happy young couple a
cordial welcomt to our midst.
Mr. J. II. Robertson, who left
here about four weeks ago for Wash
ington State, intending to embark in
business, returned last week, fully sat
isfied that tho chances for a man of
moderate means were a half better in
Forest county than in that section of
fair wages and very high prices. He
didn't propose to remain there long
enough to spend all bis funds, either,
and will once more settle in business
in this county, which we are glad to
know, and welcome him back.
Mr. and Mrs. John Walter, in
company with Charles and his wife,
loft on tho noon train yesterday bound
for Washington. John passed a year
of his life in that State and liked it,
but he found it "not good for man to
be alone," and so came back to Forest
county and took unto himself one of
ber charming young daughters to
share his fortunes on the distant Pa
cific slopeB. Good luck, good healtb
and much happiness go wilh them, is
the wish of all their acquaintances
here.
Senatorial and Judicial appor
tionment bills have been introduced
in the legislature, but as both are by
DemocraU they will not pass in their
present form. The Senatorial bill puts
Forest in wilh Warren and McKean
couutics, a very desirable place, and
one which would be satisfactory to our
county. The Judicial bill leaves us
where we are, with Warren, also a
very satisfactory condition. Whatever
changes maj be made in these bills it
ia hoped the arrangement of these two
districts will remain as now proposed.
The borough council held its reg
ular monthly meetiug on Monday, P.
M. Clark was elected clerk for the
ensuing year. Settlement was made

streets and sewers as required imme
diate attention. The tax levy for the
ensuing year was fixed as follows:
Cash tax, four and one-half mills;
road or work tax, four mills; bond
tax, two mills, aud light tax, one mill.
The death of Whitman S. Davis,
a brief skotch of whose life is furnish
ed by a friend of the family, will be a
sad surprise to very many in this
county, where he was so well and fa
vorably known. A private, note from
his bereaved widow, written on the
day of his death, was received by us
on Friday last, two days after the fu
neral, and was the first intimation
friends here had of Mr. D.'s death.
The Republican joins in the general
sympathy that will go out to the fami
ly in the loss of a devoted huBband
and affectionate father.
Mr. Oliver Byerly returned a few
days ago from Kelso, Washington,
where he tins speot the past two years,

establishment of Collins & Co., who

There are men who never have any
use for a newspaper until a hopeful
son or daughter displays some phe
nomenal brilliancy. They then want
a long account of it written and as
like as not tbey will "support the
paper" by buying three copies. But
they will insist on getting them at
dealers' rates.
It is amusing to see some of the old
skiu flints, who never advertise nor
subscribe for a paper, come belly
aching around for a complimentary
fiuff when they change their business
ocation in tho spring time. They
always get a sweet little notice in tho
Blizzard when they bring the price
with them.
Some of the sick: Quintain Jam
ieson, who has had a severe attack of
the grip, was slowly mending at last
accounts. George Klump, who has
been confined to his house for nearly
three months, is still very weak, but
hopes to be able to go out again when
pleasant warm weather comes. Fran
cis Watson, the aged father of George
F. Watson, has been having a severe
attack resembling grip, but is gaining
a little now. G. W. Robinson wao
taken with a sudden and severe attack
of grip last week, and his friends were
considerably alarmed about him, but
be is now in a fair way to get out toon,
if taken with no backset.
A member of the Junior Order of
American Mechanics says that when
that order presented flags for the
school buildings one of the conditions,
as agreed to by the School Board, was
that the flags should be run up in tbe
morning, taken down in the evening
and otherwise given good care. Tbe
wind continues to blow through the
whiskers of the one on the Cottage
Hill building. Blizzard. This is not
the case with the flag presented to the
Tionesta school board by the P. O. S.
of A. It is regularly run up at tho
calling of school, and lowered and
properly cared for when school i3 dis
missed. And while the flag is floating
on the breezes the fond parent may
content himself with the thought that
his boy is poring over his books and
rapidly growing in knowledge. Un
less, perchance, the young rsp scallion
has silently stolen away to the sucker
fishing grounds.
Tbe marriage of Mr. Chas. Walter
and Miss Gertrude Gilfillan, at the
home of the bride, at Nebraska, last
Wednesday afternoon, was one of the
pleasaot social events of the season
for that busy littla village. Guests to
the number of sixty or more were in
attendance to witness the ceremony
and participate in the festivities. The
wedding took place precisely at 4:00
o'clock, after which all eat down to an
elegant wedding dinner, and not until
late in the evening did the jolly guests
take leave of the happy bride and
groom, leaving their best wishes, and
very many beautiful and useful pres
ents as souvenirs of tbe joyful occa
sion. Mr. and Mrs. Walter departed
yesterday for Chehalis, Washington,
where tbey expect to make their future
home, and where the kindest regards
and best wishes of a large circle of
friends, of which the Republican is
ooe, go with them.
There's nothing half so sweet in

about this there is some diversity of

by using Salvation Oil.

DEATH OF WHITMAN S. DAVIS.
Whitman S. Davis, known all over
Forest county, died at bis borne in
Marienville, April 6th, 1891, of pa
ralysis. Mr. Davis was born June 15, 1841,
near Jamestown, N. Y. He came to
Forest county at an early age, and
went into the employment of 8. S.
Holbrook, in Hickory twp. Soon
after the opening of the war of the
rebellion he went into the army and
served nearly two years as Corporal of
Co. F, 74th ReZ., N. Y. Vols., and
served his country bravely in some of
the most severely contested battles.
He was known in the county as a
hearty, good natured, companionable
man, intelligent, ready to please, and
an expert in running and managing
sawmills. He was at times in the
employ of Holbrook, Brace Brothers,
Geo. S. Lacy & Co., and Curll, Camp
bell & Co. He was married on June
12, 1864, to Miss Ellen Kady, who,
with two daughters, Mrs. T. S. Mooney,
and Miss Blanche, survive him and
mourn his loss. February 1, 1890,
ho went to Mississippi and took the
management of tbe large saw mill of
No rwood fe Butterfield. Ilis descrip
tions of the training of his darkey
crew, their shiftlessness, antics, ex
cuses, etc., wero graphio and amusing.
He returned home on Feb. Sd, 1331,
was stricken with paralysis on March
16th, and died as stated. He was a
member cf the American Mechanics,
and G. A. R., both of which orders
attended the funeral services in the
Presbyterian Church on Wednesday,
April 8. The church was crowded to
its utmost capacity. The joint choirs
of the Presbyterian and M. E. Church
es furnished the solemn music, and
Rev. Shawkey, of the M. E. Church,
officiated. After the church services
the body was accompanied to tbe
Presbyterian Cemetery by a large
number of friends, the services of tbe
Mechanics and the G. A. R. were read,
the guard fired a final salute, and all
that was mortal of W. S. Davis was
left in the "silent city of the dead."
Peace to his ashes.
Miniature Oil Field.
Peter Gruber and Dr. C. J. Rey
nolds; of Oil City, are now completing
a unique piece of work, on which they
have been engaged in their spare hours
during the past year, and which will
probably be one of tbe oil region's
exhibits at the World's Fair.
It is a miniature oil field about 6
by 12 feet in dimensions, complete in
detail and operation in all its appli
ances, which include four pumping
wells with sucker rod and twin table
attachments, by means of which they
are all pumped at once; a drilling
well on the side hill with the bluff so
cut away as to show the various form
ations aud tbe operation of the tools;
a pump station with pipe lines and
loading rack ; a railroad encircling
the farm, half of the way through a
tunnel; an oil train equipped wilh the
tub cars of the past, the tank cars of
the present and cars filled with oil
barrels; a gas well and an unfinished
derrick, on and around which rig
builders are et work automatically.
The oil and motivo power for operating
these equipments are supplied from
beneath them.
On the farm are shown the home of
the owner of tbe land, who has evi
dently done well on his bonuses and
royalty ; a railroad station from which
tbe agent promptly emerges upon the
arrival of the oil train ; a well-shooter
halting with bis torpedo rig on a
wagou road ; a gully down which
flows a little stream supplied by a
spring near the top of the hill, and
beside it a counterpart of the Colonel
Drake well, which will be readily reo
ognized by any one who has seen the
famous oil well or its photograph. Tbe
reproduction in dotail is accurate and
forms a uniquely clever exhibit.
A Card of Thanks.
The members of the G. A. R. re
siding outside of the Borough of Tio

the directors and taxpayers of the
town for so cheerfully opening their
school-room for the benefit of our or

BRATS.
This is tbe striking title of Judge's
Library, or Monthly Magazine of Fun,
for April. It tells of the funny doings
of other people's children. Brats will

selves as well. Wn again advise the
lovers of pure and genuina American
humor to avail themselves of tbe

per alone offers in this country. Sam

Judge Ilenry Souther, formerly or Erie,
died suddenly on the 4th InBt. at Fredor
Icksburg, Va., aged 61 years. lie held Im
portant positions in tbeStato. About four
years ago he removed to Fredorieksburg.
He made a fortune in this State and was
extensively engaged in business in Vir
ginia. A bill which has passed first reading in
the Sonate has a definite offect on leases or
deeds for oil or other mineral rights in
lands. It provides that where persons
claim aueh rights by conveyance, lease,
reservation or any other writing, and the
right has beon exercised at any time and
subsequently abandoned, or not worked,
for a periodof 21 years, a release of the
said conveyance, to., shall be presumed,
and such writing shall be void, unless the
claimant shall proceed to assert or exercise
the same within one year from tho passage
of this act.
Now Is a good time to prune trees of all
kinds. Prune for shape first, then prune
forfcit; cut clean and leave no ragged
stumps. Carry a sharp knil'o, a keen law,
and a pot of thick brown paint. After
every limb Is finished, touch with paint
to keop out tho wator, prevent rot, and
make the wounds look sightly. Every
good limb must be savod. All limbs
which cross another should be cut out.
All crowding must bo remedied by thlu
ning out. Make the whole tree look rath
er thin, as tho summer's growth will rem
edy all that. Trim off all suckers, wheth
er on tho trunk, at the roots or on the
main branches. Ex.
The thin little wire loop in the glass bulb
of tbe electric light is about tbe most cost
ly thing about the lamp. That loop of
wire passing through the glass stem in the
base of the lamp, so fine that you pan
hardly see it, Is made of platinum. Its
present market price is t'20 per ounce, or
about the same as gold. In a IB candle
power lamp there are from 4 to 8 grains.
If six grains be taken as the average,
thore is an ounce iu 80 lamps. The cost of
platinum for electric lamps this year is
estimated at $2,000,000. That metal is
used because it is the only metal In which
the expansion and contraction aro the

DAVE NICELY'S CONFESSION.
When tho Nicely's, Dave aud Joe, were
hanged, a great many people believed, or
rather feared, that they might bo innocent
of the murder for which they wero con
victed, owing to the repeated and stren
uous denials of the accused. Tho follow
ing confession, made to Rev. C. V. Oran
gor, Dave's spiritual adviser, was made
public one week after tho hanging, in ac
cordance with his request, and sets tho
matter of their guilt at rest, and Is a relief
to many who contemplated tho honor of
hanging innocent men :
Somerset Jail, 1
Somerset, Va., April 1, 1891. J
I, David Nicely, make, concerning the
murder of Herman Umborger, for which
I am convicted and sentencod to be hung
April 2, the following statement:
I was present when Herman Umbergor
was murdered. I loft my homo about 1
o'clock on February 27, 1889, to go to some
place in Somersot county, for the purpose
of robbery but not murder, and did not
know who was to be robbed, not learning
Umborgor's name until well along on the
road. The murder took place about 7
o'clock in the evening. I arrived at home
about I or 2 o'clock next morning. I had
a pistol aud fired into the coiling, but not
with tho attention of hitting Mr. Umbor
ger, nor did any shot I fired hit him. I
intended only to frighten him. As to my
evidence in court part was true and part
was not. My evldonce was not true in
this i I said I was not preseut at Herman
Umborgor's murder whoa I was. The
pocketbook produced in court as mine
waa not the one which I gave to Will
Thomas, as I testified iu court. It was
bogus. Hamilton Smith's testimony In
the case against me was false in this: I
was not in IJgonlor on February S7, 1389,
as ho swore. Lew Beener and Ed. Mc
Crarken did not meet me on the pike as
stated in court. Charles Vaueer and Lew
is Vaneor, his son, could not have recog
nized me, as their testimony says they
did, on the Pittsburg and Philadelphia
pike, February 27, iaS9. I mako this
statomont in view of approaching execu
tion, in fear of Ood truthfully, to C. W.
Granger, my spiritual adviser.
