Zach Shriver now wears tho bolt,
sure pop. Yesterday morning he exhib
ited a fish in towa which beats anything
for size and weight that has been taken
from tho Allegheny within the recollec
tion of the oldest inhabitant. The mon
ster, which was of the sturgoon specie:
measured 4 feet 6 inches in length, and
weighed 42 pounds. It is certainly tho
dady of them all, and was admired by
everyone who saw it. When asked where
aud how he got it, Zach paid be "lassoed
it two miles and a half up Tubus Run."
No use trying to beat that record, for it
can't be done in these parts.

Editor Shick ol tho Marienvllle Kx
press, who was boxed up for nearly four
days as a juryman in a cas. at the recent
term of court here, makes a kick for

conducive to one's morals as well as com
fort. That's likely correct, but whether
it might not also add to that tired feeling
after a 48-hour soige, is anothor quostion
to be taken into the count. Might be too
dead easy.
II. M. Irwin, for many years editori

tator, and tho paper will take on new life
t once, and again be eagerly sought for
by its patrons, Bro. Irwin doesn't need
our "best wishes for success;" that part is
already assured, but we do hope that his
career will be long as we know it will be
pleasant to the Spectator's host of friends.

A distinguished honor has been

Tho now system for the distribution
of state school funds, which was devisod
by tho last legislature, goes into f fleet on
June 0, It discriminates against the
cities and other populous centers in favor
of the couutiy districts. Instead of divid
ing the stato appropriations on the basis
of tho number taxable in each district,
it will hereafter bo distributed according
to the number of teachors, taxables and
children. Under this plan the districts
will receive G0.07 foi each teacher, f 1.97
for each taxable and $1.02 for each child
of school ago, 0 to 16 years. The funds
for this year becoino available when
the now system goes into effect. Treasur
er Beacein will make the distribution at
the rato of 8200,000 a week, preference
being glveu to the small districts which
rely largely upon the money they receive
from tho state to run the schools.
The law providing for tho protection
of black bass in the streams of this Com-
couwealth does not fully woet the pur
pose tor which it is iutendod, or in ether
words the season when bass may. not be
caught does not extend over that period
of time when bass are spawning and most
need protection and are the easiest caught,
Tho law provides that no bass shall be
caught between the first day of January
aud the first day of June, and the spawn
ing season does not end until about the
middlo of the month. During spawning
season the fish ere easily found and may
be approached without mtU liklihoocV
of their swimming away, and as a matter
of protection to their spawn will bite
almost on an empty hook. An amend
ment of the Act relating to the catching
of bass, salmon, piko, etc., making the
opening day about one month later,
should be made, as one month's protec
tion during the spawning season would
be of more practical value than tho whole
five months for which the law now pro
vides. Grand Army Week in Oil City.

Fourth of July Celebration at.TIonesta.
In harmony with the patriotic spirit
that inspires every Americau citizen to
day the members of the G. A. R., in con
nection with the newly organized mili
itary company, have initiated the move
ment for an old-fa'hioned Fourth of July
celebration this year in Tionesta, such as
has never iicen witnessed in this section
liefore.
A pole-raising at the armory will un
doubtedly be the principal feature of the
forenoon, followed by a bicycle parade in
which 800 bikes are expected to be in line
all gaily decorated.
The afternoon exercises will include
the reading of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, and addresxs by a speaker of
national reputation. Exercises by 40
young ladies representing the different
states of the anion (Cuba will not be for
gotten) and the review of the military
compauy.
Arrangements are being made for the
graudest display of fire works in the eve
ning that has ever been witnessed in this
part of the country.
Tho military company are making
special arrangements for the grand ball
at their Armory for afternoon and even
ing, in fact the people of Tionesta are
determined nothing shall be left uudone
to entertain all whooome to help them in
celebrating our Declaration of Independ
ence in 1770 as woll as tho Declaration of
Independence of Cuba in 1898.
Full and complete program will be
published next week.
The c uiuiittoe of tho G. A. R. and
military company have begun work in
dead earnest to make tho coming Fourth
of July celebration o e to be long re
membered in this locality. Committees
will visit Pleasautville, Neiltown, Hick
ory, Kellottville, Nebraska, Marienville
and other towns to invite them to come
to Tionesta and assist in making July
4th, 1898, an unbounded success.
At a meeting held last evening a com
mil tee was appointed to co-operate with
tho G. A. R. and new military company,
as a general committee of arrangements.
A mooting of these committees will be
held next Friday evening at the Central
House parlors, at which time final ar
ranicoments will be made.

able choir aud post band the O. A. R.
performed their labors of love in perfect
order, alter a short address J. Albaugb
deposited a beautitul wreath of flowers
In memory of the buys in blue who went
down in tho Maine,- thereby connecting
the memories of the .fallen heroes of the
presttnt with those of the past in one
beautiful chain of fraternity, charity and
loyalty. Altor a general decoration of all
the graves by the assembly all marched
back to the camp ground to the music of
the band and on arriving at camp all at
on co enjoyed the basket pio-nic. The
afternoon services was opened with song
bv the choir and prayer by Rev. Buzza
of Tionesta, after which the yeung peo
ple recited many stories in verse, iuter-
spersed with singing, etc.
Rev. Buzza wan now Introduced and
held tho large attentive assembly in per
fect control for more than thirty minutes,
leading his hearers from one grand, pa
triotic thousht to another still more
grand.
Rev. Valinof Whig Hill was the next
on the list for duty and responded nobly
and to the satisfaction of all.
Rev. Buzza now sung a few selections
fur the occasion. His ability as a singer
need no comments upon the part of all
who have had the good fortune to hear
him. Tho thanks of Eli Berlin Post is
extended to tho speakers, the chair, the
Band and to all who in every way con
tributed to the success of the day by their
labor and presence.
Decoration day 1898 is past and we are
marching forward towards that of 1899,
Some of us will fall short in this
march, no doubt, but let all in the love of
God march boldly on and all will be well.
