These articles are all comparatively uew aud can be had at very reasonable prices. tf. All things come to those who wait. The Cuchranton Times ?: Oil City is fortunate in getting many things it needs. The Tionesta jag cure is to be moved there soon." -A Judge of one of tbe Fittsburg courts has decided that a lodge which allows sick benefits must settle with a delinquent member if he pays the amount he owes up to tbe time be was taken sick. The decision may make a great difference with many of the orders. As will be seen by a glauce at our announcement column, A. V. Cook of Barnett township is an nounced for Congress, John Glen- ing of Jenks township is out fur County Commissioner, and M. E. Abbott of Hickory township for County Auditor. The meanest political item of the seasou was sent out from Conneaut- ville after tho recent election. It stated that the Republicans carried everything except two blankets that were stolen from the election room, aod that the blankets were conceded to the Democrats. Franklin News. Executive committee of the Western Pennsylvania Fireman's As sociation will meet in Warren, Fri day, Feb. 28, to perfect arrangements for tbe coming convention to be held there in the summer. What is tho reason that the Tionesta fire company is not a member of this association? The Democratic county commit tee, at its meeting laut week, named Saturday, May 9th, as tbe date for holding tbe Democratic primaries in this county. Dr. Weber of Hickory was chosen delegate to tho Slate Con vention, and Dr. Bowman was re elected chairman of tbe county com mittee. The new borough council organ ized Monday night by electiug F. R. Lansou, president ; J.R.Thompson, treasurer, and T. F. Ritchey, clerk. In view of the fact that there are eleven members of tbe new council, it is nataral that the people will ex pect something done. Wonder what it will be ? Those having bicycles which need cleauing or repairing should take them to C. S. Kirchartz at once, as he will soon be kept busy with spring papering, and cannot give this branch of his work the same prompt atteution as at prosent.. All bicycles should be thoroughly cleaned before the riding season commences. It Despatches from Washington announce the tact that the comp troller of the currency has approved the application of A. B. Kelly, Wil liam Smearbaugb, G. W. Robinson, Benjamin May and James II. Kelly for anthority to organize the Forest County National Bank o" Tionesta, Pa., with $50,000 capital. This were good news, and we hope the new bank will be a success, as it unquestionably will, if properly handled, aud tbe uew firm certainly has tho ability to so handle it. The grain house of Robert Mc Closkey of Farraingtou township, was burned with all its coutents last Suu day. It was a two-story frame struc ture and contained about 500 bushels ot oats, OU of buckwheat, to ot rye and 300 of corn, besides a great many tools and raft man's supplies. Mr. McCloskey was not at home and didn't seem very anxious to get home after learning of the mishap. He seemed to be more vexed about a good long line tbat bad been used but little thau all the other articles. Clarion Jacksonian. ' Arrangements are well , under way for the farmer's convention to be held in tbe Court House, Tionesta, Pa., March 23 aod 24. Hon. John Hamilton, Dep. Sec'y of Agriculture, Col. Johu A. Woodward, W. L. Nes. bit, and T. B. Terry of Ohio, all practical and experienced men, will be with us. Sessions will be held Monday afternoon and evening aud Tuesday morning and afternoon Programs will be out in a short time. As Ibis will be tbe first farmer's coo veotion ever held in Forest couuty it is hoped that it will be well attended throughout every session. The Pittsburg Times, which is always up-to-date, and among the best papers published iu Peousylva uia, came to tbe front Monday morn ing with a leugtbly aud profusely il lustrated article descriptive of the Russian oil fields. The article is written by that well knowu tiewspa per mau, Biou 11. Butler, who was seut to Baku expressly for that pur pose. The article is a credit to both Mr. Butler and tho Times It ex plains just what the American pro ducer can expect fiom the coinpeti tion of the Russian producers and refiners, and that is just what the American producer has wanted to know ever since oil was discovered in Russia. The article speaks of sev erul Americans located in thut couu try who are well knowu here, aud was read with interest by all our pen pie. Court Notes. In the case of II. L. Ilcpler vs W. II. Eggey, the jury disagreed. In the case of the Commonwealth vs, Chas Russell the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty, but the de fendant to pay costs. The Court last Wednesday appoin ted T. D. Colling, C. A. Hili and T. J. Bowman, viewers, to view and re port at the next term concerning the new road up the Allegheny river, from tbe Borough line to the Hick ory township line, and the vacation of the old road. Also appointed T. D. Collins, artist, to view that portion of the Whig Hill road, leading from the Johnson place to Eli Berlin's farm, in Kiugs iey township. Mr. Collins was ap pointed in place of F. F. Whittekin, who bas gone to South America. Oil City Ha(ia Close Call. Tbe National Trausit needed more office room in Oil City. For a piece of ground adjoining, 37 feet frontage, assessed at SI, 000, they offered to pay $8,000. The owner agreed to take it, but consequently jumprd his price to $9,600. As a matter ot principle, the management refused to pay it, and began arrangements for the re moval of the whole busiuess to Pittsburg. The people of the city were in panic aod petplexity. The lot owoer, sharing in tbe panic, re ceded from his demands and offered the lot to tbe company at tbe original price. The company finally accep ted, and tbe business will not be re moved. It was a close call for Oil City. The greed and selfishness of one citizen came within au ace of driving away a business that pays out, directly and indirectly, over $1,000, 000 a year. It would bave been like cutting a main artery. Tbe moral is obvious. Hoggisboess can drive out or keep out busiuess from a commu nity. Franklin News. February Oil Report. The Derrick's monthly oil report for February states that but for the big strike on the Weekly farm, in lyler county, West Virgiuia, Febru ary would bave made a poor sliowiug in the item of new production. As it is, the iuctease is only 381 barrels over tbe January report, but this is partly onset by the fact that twenty- five fewer wells were drilled during the past month than during the month preceding. The prospects are favor able for a "Big Injun" field in West Virginia of very considerable propor tions. 1 he developments that fol lowed the lead furnished by the "Big Moses" gasser bave been highly suc cessful. Tbe poor roads and limited facilities for communication aud transportation have retarded opera tions in the frontier districts of the Southwest. February's summary shows 555 wells completed iu the field's produc ing Pennsylvania oil, . with 150 of them destitute of oil in paying quan tities, and a new production of 7, 7G7 barrels. Ihiswasa decrease of 2o wells completed and an increase of 381 barrels in the new production over the figures in the jannary report. there were 451 rigs and 621 drill ing wells under way on February 2!), which is an increase of 6 rigs and a decrease of 78 wells drilling as com pared with the figures for the last of January. RIalto. Rialto, (formerly Stowtown), Pa., is making such good progress in keep lug up with the times that we think it worthy of a little atteution from the outside world. Rialto is no little, temporary lumber manufacturing plant, but a permanent place, and will be fur tbe next fifty years to come. JMo Company in all the laud could bave more charity for their em ployes than the Messrs. Wheeler & Dusenbury. Their mill is one of the finest in all tbe couutry. We bave iu this place 45 homes, aud about 200 souls ; fine water wcrks, good as any in the laud, and natural gas iu abundance. Rialto is keeping pace with other places in the line of morality. The Rialto Christian Endeavor society was organized Jan. 24, 181)0, aud is doing a great good in this place. It has 18 active members, 14 associate members, and some 8 or 10 more to be admitted soon. The social com mittee gave a box sociul recently which was a grand success. A fea ture of this pleasant affair was tho entire absence of human "wall flow ers," and the presence of a vast amount of "sociable sociability ;" the whole mingled with unsellishuesa and the levin of the goldeu rule spirit. The result was the genuine kind of a good time, where each one added to the eujoyment of his neighbor. Re ceipts, 835.60.

Dur ing the time she was gone, the gas came on in such a great pressure as to set the houso on fire, it is supposed, for no other way Is known. When tho lire was dis covered, nothing could be done to put it out or to got any thing out of tho house, They had lovely clothes and furniture and the loss is several hundred dollars, No insurance. In fourteen vears ho has had throe fires and his insurance always has run out just before the fire. He is au honest, hard working man aud the loss is hard. Kelletlvlllc. A. L. Wellcr is rafting for tho Salmon Creek Lumber Co. 400,000 of boards am' bill stuff. The lumber will go to the Ohio and W. Va. oil fields.

A good 10-inch article was about tho thickest put up. A disastrous lire occurred on the Cook lease, Thursday morning, which was an accident, and which came near causing olio of the workmen to loose his life. Tho circumstances are as follows: On tho above mentioned morning before daybreak, Wm. llurtmau, who has charge of well No. M), turned on the steam to heat the oil In tho tank, when an explosion of gas wus caused by his lantern, which was loft a few rods from tho tank house. Mr. Hartiiian was iu tho houso when the accident occurred. The building and tank and also tho dur rick were burned to tho ground.
