Beaver county, is to be closed within
tbe next two weeks and the stock and
fixtures sold. Tbe Economite store

reason for closing it now is that it
has ceased to be profitable.
Z. T. Shriver is home from tbe
Butler field for a few days, the well
on which he is engaged having been
shut down for repairs. It is no boys'
play to operate in that field, as is ev
idenced by the fact that fitfy-odd days
have already been consumed, and two
or three weeks more will be necessary
to complete the well. Upward of
900 feet of casing is required.
Tbe sidewalk committee of the
boro council was around the other day
taking some "measures," and it is
likely, unless the owners get at it
themselves without delay, tbey will be
saved tbe trouble of building their
own walks. Tbe council is a little
warm under the collar about the lack
of attention given to its notices by
property owners, and have decided to
"proceed." A commendable move.
Fay Banning," a novel by Will
J. Bloomfield, is tbe first effort of our
talented friend and acquaintance, who
is known to many of our readers in
the wide field ot the writer. Tbe
story is one of plantation life, the
scene of action being for the roost
part west of tbe Allegbeoies, and is
very creditably, told evincing skill iu
descriptive power and detail. We
venture to bespeak its auther success
in his uew field of work.

friends and many new ones, who will
receive the same prompt and pleasant
attention that Robert always bestows
upon his customers. All our citizeos

"Don't fret about the heat," is a
sensible bit of advice which tbe Phil
adelphia Times gives its readers.
The worst use people can put hot
weather to is to fret about it, for the
fretting does more to enervate the
system than the heat. If people
must think about the weather during
the heated term, let it be cold
weatber, the weather of fierce blasts
and blizzards. While they mop the
perspiration from their brows let
them recall the biggest snowdrifts
which they ever remember fighting
their way through. That way com
fort lies.
Tbe "Time-Saver" is a guide to
tho World's Fair that deserves its
name. It names and locates 5,000 of
the most interesting things on the
Exposition grounds, grading them
according to their importance. No
other guide does this. Tbe visitor
who uses a "Time Saver" can see tbe
Fair in one-third of the time usually
occupied and find .without difficulty
every thing he wants to see. An en
cyclopedia of World's Fair informa
tion that can be carried in your
breast pocket. Send 25 cents to W.

Tbe text of the act autorizing
the election of Tax Collectors for
three years provides that "the quali
fied voters of every borough or town
ship in the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, shall on the third Tuesday
of February, after the passage of this
act (the act was passed in May) and
triennially thereafter, vote for and
elect one properly qualified person
for tax collector in each of said dis
tricts, who will serve for the term of
tbree years, aod shall give a bond
annually to be approved by tbe
court." It will be seen, therefore,
that all collectors elected in Febru
ary, 1894, will be elected for a term
of three years.
In these "fly times," when flies
are on everything, even tbe money
market, it is interesting to note tbo
many, remedies that are recommended
for their exterminat:on. Now, here's
a very simple one from an exchange
that will not cost much to (ry: A
half teaspoonful of black pepper,
finely ground, should be mixed with
double tbe qantity of brown sugar,
and the compound to be moistened
with cream. Tbe flies will very gen
erally eat greedily of this mixture if
placed where tbey can easily reach it,
but it will be their last meal, for the
least taste of it is to a fly rank pois
on. If watched they will often be
seen to drop dead within a few feet of
the place which they have just left
and some of the heaviset eaters do
not live to leave the plate,
A runaway which fortunately
did no serious damage except to the
vehicle, started on River street last
Thursday evening. Edgar Corah
was driving a team of Liveryman
Canfield's pooys, with Miss Kate Can
field oocupying tbe buggy with him,
and just as the rig bad stopped in
front of tbe young lady's home to let
ber out, tbe horses became frightened
at some unfcown cause, wheeled about,
and started back at a lively rate.
When near wbere the stone crusher is
at work, at the old ferry landing,
they wheeled again, this time upset
ting the buggy and throwing the oc
cupants out. Tbe horses then took a
lively race down tbe street and up
Hilauds St., past Scowden & Clark's
factory, wbere tbey were halted.
Aside from a few slight bruises, neith
er of the occupants were injured, and
their escape was singularly fortunate
considering the ferocity with which
tbey were bandied for a few moments ;
but the buggy was a total wreck.

Killed by a Falling Tree.
George Kahle, whoso home is in
Seigel, Jefferson county, but wbo has
been engaged at bark peeling a mile
and a half from Marienville, this
county, since tbe season commenced,
met with an accident on Wednesday
morning last which caused his death
five hours, later. He bad gone to the
woods that morning, and a limb from
tbe first tree that was felled struck
him on the head, crushing his skull.
He was cunveyed to tbe boarding
bouse and Dr. Beck summoued, but
tbe injured man was beyond the help
of human skill, and died at 1 o'clock
p. m. He was 26 years of age, and
the father of one son aged four years,
bis wife having preceded him in
death two years. His body was re
moved to Seigel Thursday for burial.
Family Reunion.
On Saturday, July 15tb, 1893, at
EaBt Hickory, Pa., Mrs. Laura Wal
ters celebrated her 79 birthday in
gand old style. She is tbe mother of
eight respected sons aud daughters,
wbo cao look up to her as a faithful
and affectionate mother from their in
fancy to tbe present time.
Laura Wallets was born in Ver
mont, July 3d, 1814. She is a
daughter of Luther and Mary Barnes,
also natives of Vermont. She came
to Pennsylvania with her parcuts in
1818, who settled in Hickory town
ship, five miles above TioDesta, wbere
they cleared and improved a farm.
At Balltown, Deo. 30, 1830, she was
united in marriage with Moses Wal
ters, of Clearfield county, Pa. Tbey
erected a mill at Little Hickory,
where they lived for several years.
From there tbey moved to Fleming
Hill, thence to Church Hill, where
they purchased a large farm, when all
around them was a howling wilder
ness, and where tbe country surround
ing their forest home abounded with
wolves, panthers, bears, and all kinds
of animals peculiar to tbis section In
the early pioneer times. With all
these dangers and difficulties sur
rounding them they struggled and
toiled happily together for 25 years,
amid such hardships and disadvan
tages as only our parents and grand
parents knew how to endure. After
these many years of toil and patience,
they sold their beloved homo for oil
purposes, moving to Chautaubua
county, N. Y., where they purohased
a beautiful home, and where iu a lit
tle more than two years their home
was bereft of the honored husband
aud father, and the widowed mother
and three youngest children were left
alone, but with plenty to provide for
their wauls. They bad 29 grand
children aod 21 great-grand-children.
Mrs. Walters was, several years
later, married to Mr. Beebe, of Chau
tauqua county, who again left her a
widow in 1889.
She is now living with her chil
dren, who are endeavoring, by loving
deeds of kindness, to make ber last
days, days of rest and comfort.
There were present at the reunion 69
children, grand-children, great-grandchildren
and relatives of this aged
"Queen of the Day," who did honor
to her title in elegant style. Among
tbe interesting featnres of the occa
sion were several recitations, read
ings, etc., while W. P. Siggins, Esq.,
gave a pleasing and accurate history
of Mother Walters' past life, and
with us wished ber many happy re
turns of tbe day. She received nu
merous presents and showers of con
gratulations. A Guest.

Accidentally Shot and Killed.
Rob't L. Caehran of Franklin, but
well-known in this section, accident
ally shot himself at his farm in Sugar
Creek Valley, Wednesday morning.
Of the shooting the Fraoklin News
says;
About 9:30 Mr. Crochran took the
rifle a 32-calber single-shot Ballard,
and went out. He was noticed by
Mrs. Ilurer, wife of the farm tenent,
who thought nothing of it, as he bad
fiequently gone out in the same way
with this same rifle. Perhaps an
hour after, or about 10.30, Mrs H.
went out to feed tbe chickens. At a
corner of the chicken coop, about 150
feet from the house, she was startled
to see Mr. Crochran lying on tbe
ground in what she supposed was a
fainting fit. He was lying with his
left arm and leg bent underneath
him. On looking closer Mrs. II.
saw that the straw hat lying under
his head was bloody. His right hand
had hold of the top of the rifle barrel.
She at ouce gave tbe alarm, and
neighbors were soon on hand.
At the iuquest Dr. Galbraith testi
fied that death had been instantane
ous; that it was caused by a gunshot
wound ; that tbe bullet bad eutered
tbe head It inches back and a little
above the orbital line of the right
eye; that tbe ball passed upward and
backward, lodging inBide tbe skull,
lie further staled that the course of
the ball was such as would be made
on a man stumbling and in the act
of falling. Was inclined to think
the wound was accidental.
Mr. Cochran leaves a wife, one
daughter, widow of the late W. G.
Trunkey of Warren, and one son in
business in New York.

The Ken Married Woman's Law.
The new married woman's law passed
by tho Iato Legislature is deserving tho
attontion of all having business with that
class of persons. It was passed to meet
decisions of the courts, which, pursuing
their usual custom of very strict con
struction on this subjoct, had largely
neutralized the apparent Intent of pre
vious legislation, as well as to moot the
domand for larger freedom over thoir es
tates by married women.
Tho act providos that a married woman
may have tho samo right and power as
an unmarried person to acquiro, use,
lease and dispose of property, but she
may not mortgage or convey her real es
tate unless her husband joins. She may
also make any contract in writing or
otherwise which Is noccessary, appropri
ate, convenient or advantageous to the
exercise or enjoyment of her rights of
property, but she may not become ac
commodation indorser, niakor, guaran
tor or surety for another. She may Sue
or bo sued civilly, but she may not sue
her husband except for divorco or to pro
tect or recover her separato property
when deserted or refused support, and he
may sue her for divorce or to protect or
recover his property whon deserted by
her, but sho shall not bo arrested for her
torts. In suits between husband and
wife both shall bo competent witnesses
but cannot testify to confidential commu
nications unless by agreement. She may
dispose by will of all property, but tho
husband's right as by courtesy shall not
be affected.
Tho act of June 3, 18S7, and all other
inconsistent acts are repealed by this act
which was approved Juno 8, 1893.

The end of the quarrel in thn Evangel

ther, and no period of the year is calcu
lated to do harm to tbe animuto creation.
The weather is all right. Of course it's
warm, and if we persist in doing redicu
lous things in the vaiii hope of keeping
as cool as iu mid-winter wo are going to
invite cholera morbus and such little
things that come to tell us to let up. The
right way is to take things as easy as pos
sible, drink water enough to satisfy the
needs, eat decent vituals without any fol-di-rol
trimings to keep off heat, uud let
medicines and preventives alone, and
everything will work all right. Tho
weather is all right."
The humbug of tho newspaper coupon
contest for "free trips" to tho World's
Fair is easily shown by analyzing a caso
or two. An Erie paper has had one of
these contests, agreeing to send the five
persons to the Fair who turned in the
most voting coupons cut from tho paper.
The paper received l,08(i.2:l from the
sale of papors at 3 cts. each. As the cost
to a private Individual going alone would
not probably bo over $75 at most, the live
free trips, would amout to &J7. This
gives the newspaper a margin of about
$1,311, a largo part of which is profit, to
say nothiug of incidental advertising.
The contest of the tcachors for the Pitts
burg Times free trips to the Fair was of
tbe same nature. One Meadvillo teacher
and her friends paid out $1D.).30 in tho
contest and lost by 2,400 votes. A teach
er In Pittsburg who had 20,000 votes did
a shrewd thing by selling them for tliM,
with which sho can do tho Fair on her
own hook. Tho contest business is a
delusion and a humbug. Franklin

Pennsylvaniaus think Pennsylvania is
a big State, but visitors to the World's
Fair will think it still bigger when they
see the newly completed State map, now
on exhibition at Chicago iu tho Pennsyl
vania school oxhibit. Tho map bus just
boon removed to tho Exposition from the
Capitol, and cannot fail to attract a great
deal of notice on account of tho size, be
ing tho largest drawing of tho Stale ever
mado. It is drawn on the scale of two
miles tj the inch, being fourteen feet h ug
by eight feet wide, and containing 0110
hundred and twelve feet of canvass. Tho
mammoth drawing was made under
tho direction of Col. John A. Woodward,
assistant executive commissioner, by
Captain Johu II. Campbell ami J. Sutton
Wall, tho experienced draughtsmen of
the Department of Internal Allairs. The
primary object in tho preparing of this
map is to show visitors at the World's
Fair tho geographical distribution uml lo
cation of tho colleges, seminaries, acade
mics and public schools of the Statu as
they actually exist at tho present time.
All tho locations of tho schools through
out are plainly marked and any single
one can bo readily found. Tho colleges
aud schools of Philadelphia are shown iu
tabular form on the margin of tho map.
It also shows the county bound views,
principal towns, watercourses uud pub
lic rouds. To a person ignorant of tho
real educational progress of our State iu
all tho various lines of mental culture it
is a revelation. Harrisliurg Telegraph.
