The editor of an exchange has
been taking observations on the dif
ference between a lady and a gentle
man in mounting a bicycle. He
says the lady stops, adjusts her skirts,
puts one foot upon a pedal, gives a
little spring, settles lightly upon the
saddle and away she goes! The man
grabs the handle bars, stretches him
self out behind the machine, puts one
foot upon the step, hops along upon
one leg like a lame ostrich, gives a
jump, lands "kerplunk" in the sad
dle, kicks about to find the pedals
and then goes wobling along for a
lod or so before he gets his ceuter of
gravity located.
The Hardenburg & Erb well on
the Hawthorne tract, bolow Trunkey-
vine, started pumping last week,
Wednesday, at the rate of thirty-five
barrels a day, aud is now doing twenty-five.
This is a good well for that
territory, opening up, it is thought, a
new streak, and it will stimulate
operations there this summer. A
second rig is up on the Hawthorne
tract, and Proper Bros, are ready to
drill on the Tucker farm, a short dis
tance from the first Ilardeobuig &
Erb well. The Black well, on the
Garvey farm, is claimed to be doiug
four to five barrels a day. Ed. Pe
gulnot also has three small producers
a short distanco above the station.
Tidioute News.
The Cox well on the Spooner
tract, uear Bear creek, Kingsley
township, drilled two years ago, and
abandoned as a duster, bids fair to
yet come to the front as a producer,
and may be the means of opening a
field In that section. It was cleaned
out and drilled several huodred feet
deeper lately, but no sand of conse
quence was found. , Last week it was
shot io the original sand, about 40
feet of which was found at a depth of
1,190 feet when it was first drilled.
Since the shot was put iu it has filled
up about 200 feet with a nice quality
of oil, aod the owners are quite con
fident that the pay streak bas been
lapped. Mr. Cox informs us that
operations will be continued, and it
is gratifying to know the prospects
for a good field are quite flattering?

Ridgway boasts of a family whose pro
lificacy it would be hard to ecpial. Mrs.
Victor Olseu, who resides ou the Warren
road a few dajs ago gave birth to twins,
being tho second pair she hail presented
to her husband inside of a year. " Iu all
four pair of twins have been born to the
family. What town can beat it? Dem
ocrat. The dead body of Charles F. Johnson,
a Swede, aged about twenty-four years,
was found hanging by the neck to a
limb of a tree near Shodield, Warren
couuty, Wednesday forenoon. Ho had
been missing since Mouday. A note left
by him explained that ho hail committed
suicide because ho could not pay his
dobts.
Tho bicycle, which a few years ago was
regarded as a fad, has grow n by general
use into such tremendous proportions
that tho mind can hardly grasji the lig
urts. To supply tho demand there aro
something like -ion firms, making money

the various plants more than f2-,unn,uno
is invested.

old hen is potpied as soon as she eeaes
lay ing ami her faithful old bones fed to
tho dog, which lays under tho bed ready
for business."
The dry weather that has been prevail
ing recalls tho great dry time in Kansas.
A denizen of that state being intoriogatod
as to the dry Noasnn out there said : "We
used to have to run the well through tho
clothes ringer every morning to get water
for cooking, and we would go and throw
a lot of littlo pobles on tho barn to make
the horses think it was raining and in
that way koep them from getting dis
couragod." Tho latest and ono of the most humor
ous schemes in advertising has been
amusing the patrons of theaters in New
York. A bald-headed man Is the instru
ment, (in his shining pate is printed in
Indigo blue the name of r, patent medi
cine. He sits iu the front row and con
ducts himself with propriety, while peo
ple behind him are convulsed with
laughter, each observer supposing that

played on an unsuspecting friend.
On Monday, while John Itrown, of
Vernon tp., Crawford county, was plant
ing some potatoes, a stranger came
along, engaged him In ploasant conversa
tion and then passed on his way. Mr.
Brown afterwards discovered that while
tho chat was iu progress a pal of the af
fable strangor had slipped into the house
and ransacked it, the balance nl tho fam
ily being at work in the garden. The
visitor got away with fl!)0 in money,

The ?:'.2,000,000 of gold belonging to the
Clearing-houso Association of New York
has been removed to the new building of
the Association. Tho last load was car
ried on Saturday morning. Few people
realize how big an undertaking it was,
but when it is understood that it took
two weeks to do it, and that the greatest
care had to bo exercised lest a portion
should be stolon and that the weight of
the metal was sixty-four tons, one bogins
lo se 3 that tho transfer was a matter of
some importance. Tho public was not
aware of what was going on until the
work was finished.
Linevillo, near Fryburg, has a sensa
tion. During the past week two young
men returning from a country I'rolio
about two o'clock in the morning discov
ered four men digging near the road,
while a filth man was apparently acting
as a sentinel. The boys did not stop to
Investigate, but jumped the fences and
arrived home by a cross-lots route. At
daylight they informed their neighbors
of what they had seen before daylight
and a posse Investigated. They found
that a hole eight feet long, about two
wide by six deep had been excavatod by
the mysterious visitors and afterwards

Indians Must Obey the State Laws
A doeision of considerable importance
touching the rights ol the Indians on the
territory which they have leased to the
wliiles, was rendered bv Judge U.
Vreeland. of Salamanca recently. The
question involved was whether the state
has any jurisdiction ocer an Indian
which can prevent him from fishing or
taking lish lrom the streams of the reser
vation at such times or in such manner
as ho may choose. The question grow
out ol tho arreat ol au Indian named
James Pierce, some time ago, ami win
was convicted before Justice Seymour of
.Salamanca, ot unlawfully killing hsli in
tho Allegheny river by the use of dyna
mite, lie was sentenced to pay a line of
?ni arid io serve 31 uavs in too couniv
ail. II. C. Iteillv, of Randolph, at that
time attorney for the Seneca Indians, an
iiraled from this judgment and held that
ndians were exempt from the oporat ions
of this stato law iu regard to illegal fish
ing on their own territory or reservation
Judgo Vreeland ill his decision reviews
at length the dillerent steps by which the
state acquired tlio sovereignly and luris
diction of the Indian lands, and holds
that the right over these lands warrants
the assumption of authority in all such
matters over these reservations. He
holds that the state has authority to make
and enlorce laws regulating tho taking ol
lish from the streams of the stale and
that they can bo en forced against the In
dians as well as the wdiites. The judg
ment of Justice Seymour is therefore
continued but the tine is remitted as the
statutes do not authorize a tine. H'un en

How lo Treat a Wile.
(from Pacilic Health Journal.)
First, got a wife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and perplexi
ties in your business, but do not there
fore, carry to your home a cloudy or
contracted brow. Your wife may have
trials, w hich, though of less magnitude,
may lie hard for her to bear. A kind
word, a tender look, will do woudoia in
chasing from her brow all clouds of
gloom. To this we would add always
keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy iu the house. It is the best and
is sure to be needed sooner or later.
Your wife w ill then know that you really
care for her and wish to protect her
health. For sale by Heath tfc Killmer.
Mrs. 11. DeYoung, Midlleburg, la.,
writes: 1 have used One Minute Cough
Cure for six years, both lor myself ami
children, and I consider it the quickest
acting and most satisfactory cough cure
1 have ever used. Heath & Killmer.
Mr. D. P. Davis, a prominent livery
man and merchant of Gnshcu, Ya., has
this to say on the subject of rheumatism :
"1 take pleasure in recommending
Chamberlain's Pain llaliu for rheuma
tism, as 1 know lrom personal exper
ience that it will do all that is claimed for
it. A year ago this spring my brother
w as laid up in bed w it ii iullamatory rheu
matism and sintered intensely. Thelirst
application of Chamberlain's Pain Halm
eased the pain and the use of 0110 bottle
completely cured him. For sale by
Heath A Killmer.
One minute is the standard time, and
one Minute Cough Cure is the standard
pieoaratioii lor every form of cough or
cold. It is the only harmless remedy
that produces imiuudiato results. Ilealh
Killmer.
For every quai ter iu a man's pocket
there are a doeii uses ; and lo use each
oie in such a way as to derive tho great
est benelit is a question every one must
solve for himseli. W'e believe, however,
that no belter use could be made ol one
of these quarters, than lo exchange it for
a hottlu ol Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Iteuiedy, u medicine that
every family should be provided w ith.
