The Franklin Spectator has made the
discovery that, all joking asido, the peach
crop in this and other northern States is a
dead failure this year. Every locality
reports the buds winter-killed and dead
as Julius Cicsar. The applo crop how
ever, promises to be bottor than the aver-
ago. There will be large receipts of
poaehesfroin the Pacific coast. Shipments
from California have already begun,
breaking all records for an early season.
Improvement seems to be tho order
of tho day, and much activity in that di
rection is apparent on all sides in Tiones
ta. St. Commissioner Moody has been
doing good work on Elm street tho past
few days, taking much of the superfluous
irt off, and soon as the river drops suf
ficiently ho will add. a good coating of
giavel. Tho new river road above Tubbs
run needs the attention of the township
authorities badly. It Is one of tho finest
in tho county if given a little attention at
the right time, but if neglected much
lengor will be little bettor than tho old
one used to be.'

The Titusville World has the follow
ing item of interest to many of our peo
ple: Miss Nellie, daughter of Jas. G.
Carson, West Hickory, Pa., was made
happy on Monday ol this week, by the
wonderful results of an operation on her

A Fearful Fall.
Last Friday morning about 10 o'clock
lloury Casey, a young man aged about 24
years, and a son of John Casey, a well
known resident of West Hickory, re
coived a most frightful fall from a der
rick located a few rods from the Albaugh
school houso on a branch of Little Hick
ory creek. The men were preparing to
tube the well, owned by Moulin A Co.,
and the young man was up about the
fifth girl, nearly 40 feet, and had attempt
ed to catch the auger stem as it was
swung to the corner of the derrick. It
proved too heavy for him and his hold
was broken allowing him to fall to -the
ground, striking on his back. He was
conveyed to his home and Dr. Will G.
Morrow summoned, who found his back
bono or vertebrae fractured between the
shoulders. Of courso the young man was
otherwise badly bruised, but he was
ni'tdea't comfortablo as tho serious na
ture of his injuries would admit of, and
in this condition he has remained since.
His liody from the injury down is para
lyzed, but his physicians believe ho will
survive the fesrful injury and again be
ablo to be about. The young man has
many friends both here and at his home
about West Hickory, who hope for the
best in Ids caso.

New Bank Building For Tlonesln.
The Forest County National Bank poo
ple havo received from the architect a
complete set of plans for tho new bank
ing building to be erected this summer,
and judging from the perspective view it
will be one of the finest structures in this
section of the State. The dimensions of
the foundrtion will be 33x42 feet, with
cellar or basement under tho whole
building, which is to be two stories high
with largo attic; the first story to have
14-foot ceiling, the second 11 feet. The
building will be entirely of stone, tho
first courses to the sill of the first win
dows to be of range work, the balance of
tho broken Ashler style, with red tile
roof. The interior of the first story will
be finished in hardwood with tile floors.
There will be four largo rooms tho ex
change or public room, tho worK room,
and the directors' and cashier's rooms.
To the rear of the work room will be lo
cated the two large vaults, ouo to be a
steel lined burgulnr-proof affair, with
sale deposit boxe-", the other a fire proof
vault for books, etc. The second story
will be in four large rooms, fitted up for
ollices, with separate stair way ou south
side of building, and all to be i eated with
hot air from the basement. The block is
to be located on the corner of Eltn aud
Walnut streets and so designed as to
front on both, with entrance on Elm
street through arched doors. The fronts
will bo provided with largo French plate
glass windows.
When completed this solid financial in
stitution will have a very attractivo
home, and our town will be richer in the
possession of a structure that will be an
ornament and a credit to it.

A terrible scalding accident occurred at
the tanrery at Brookslon, Pa., Wednes
day morning of last week, when a Polish
laborer, whose namo is Valentine Jan
kororiski, foil into a vat of boiling liquor
and sustained injuries from the effect of
which ho died at the Emergency hospital
in Warren uie MalnH evening.
He was in the act of carrying a box of
tools and walked directly into the open
vat. He was immediately removed by
fellow employes, but was thoroughly
scalded from his shoulders down. Dr.
Pryor, of Sheffield, was summoned to
the injured man's relief, and did 'every
thing possible to alleviate his sufferings.
As it was thought that the patient might
live three or four days he was taken to
Emergency hospital, where he could be
hotter cared Tor but death resulted about
an hour after arriving at the institution.
The unfortunate man had a brother liv
ing at Kellettville who was summoned to
his bedside but arrived too late to find
him alive.
Heath of Mrs. Charles Weingard.
Mary Weingard, wife of Charles F.
Weingard, dhd after a lingering illness
of consumption, at her home on Cropp
Hill, Tionosta township, Wednesday.
May 17, 1899, nged 35 years, 7 months and
17 days. The deceased was a daughter of
tho late Jacob Wagner, and was born and
reared to womanhood on the old home
stead near Huddlesnn school house, Tio
nosla lvp. Feb 25, 1882, she was united
in marriage with Mr. Weingard, who
with a himily ot six children, three sons
and three daughters, survive her, tho
youngest being a babe of about 15 months.
At tho age of fourteen years she was con
firmed and became a member of the
Lutheran church, but of late years had
been a faithful attendant at the Church
of God, and died in the certainty or a
homo in heaven. Mr. Charles J. Stewart
of Endeavor conducted the funeral ser
vices in the Saints meeting house on Al
baugh Hill, on Thursday afternoon, after
which tho remains were laid to rest iu
tho Lutheran church yard on German
Hill. The grief stricken husband and
children, thus bereft of a loving wile and
mother, desire to return thanks to tho
neighbors and friends for their aid and
words of comfort in this gieat affliction.
Lo! The Poor Postmaster.
Who would want to be a postmaster if
ho couldn't go to places and have fun?
Tho Postmaster General has decided to
impose tho fate of Dreyfus on them. An
order recontly i sued by him reads
"Postmasters at Presidential postofllees
are required to give their personal atteu
tion to the business of their ollices, and
noianscni iiiomseives tnereiroin lr a
longer period than one or two days with
out authority granted upon written appli
cation to the department. A violation of
this order will bo deemed sufficient cause
for removal."
Now juft look at that. If our postmas
ter wants to visit in Cranberry from now
until Monday, or yearns to join his fam
ily "in in unio, ne must nrst make a
written application to the big Smith of
the P. O. department. Verily the rights
of tho individual aro fading away. The
erstwhilo freeman has become, like poli
tics, a machine Meanwhile, watch our
postmaster. If he attempts to get across
the city limits without a permit trMn the
P. O. I)., hand him over to the high
muck-a muck. Let us make him feel
that hi only safo plan is to stick to the
shop and hang ot't the sign, "We Are
Hore to Slay." Franklin Spectator.

hard to fit.
Probably it has been your custom for years to have
your clothing made by a lailur. $25 aud $35 are the
prices you pay. You lancy that it would be useless to
even try a ready-made suit, and even if you get one to fit
you the style, the fabric, the trimming and the finish
would lie cheap. Well, unw, we'd just like to convince
you that we can just duplicate .he best suit your tailor
ever made and ave you fuily a half. $7 50, f 10, $12,
$15 to $20, and auy altutatiotis ueceiary to keep ti e fit

more does your tailor do?

difference between our .store and the ordinary
