stalo bread, drink coffee that tastes of
smoke and bo, generally uncomfortable;

Jolly to camp out.

A terrible warning comes from Siv
erly, to the boys who persist in the haz
xardous pastime of jumping on trains, A
boy nam- d Oscar Gustaffson was play-
iug with some others in the yards at thai
place and boarded a freight car from
which he was thrown and the car passed
over bis body, cutting the head entirely
off. When found the head was lying in
side of the track and the trunk outside,
What a warning. Will it have any effect?

Early Monday morning the Weaver
House at Lecper, Clarion county, was to
tally destroyed by lire and all of tho con
tents consumed, tho guests escaping clad
only In their night clothes, but fortunate
lv no one was Iniured. The house was
recently purchased by J. M. Lobougl
and the loss falls heavily upon him. Tho
fire originated in a room over the kitch
en and was discovered by Mrs. Lobougb
who immediately sounded an alarm just
in time for all to get out. The loss on tho
building and contents is estimated at $3,-
000 and is partially covered by insurance.

Charley iVoavn', tun pm ....
lor of Hotel Agnew, has gone into train
ing to reduce his weight. Geo. Holemau
has takon the job or head trainer and
work was first commenced yesterday by
"run" to the poor farm and back, and
on their return Uuarley was "mice
lengths ahead and running asy." We
have as yet been unable to ascertain
whether it is Charley's intention to enter
tlie pugalistio arena or not, but judging
from the way he was "blowing" at the
finish yesterday be would make a first
class prize fightor.
Prof. W. L. Stroup of Watson Farm
Howe township, was through here a por
tion of lost weok, shaking hands with his,
numerous friends. The good people of his
town have undertaken to put up and
roperly equip a suitable building for
Christian worship, but the community
being rather sparccly settled they are
ardly able to bear the whole burden
themselves, so Mr. Stroup was asking
help from outside. Ho fared very well,
and tho new church edifice, which is
relty well along toward completion by
this time, will likely be turned over freo
from debt, when finishod.
A long suffering exchango exclaims :
When writing to a newspaper do not
abbreviate the words. Spell names out
n full. Do not write 'Jno.' when you
moan 'John,' or do not write 'st.' when
you mean 'street.' The editor has to fill
out these abbreviations and he has trou
bles of his own and .kicks like a steor
when this burden is added to tho long
list of troubles. Write plainly, espec
ially names, it is hard work to guess
properly at names that are not written
lainly, and If the name is incorrectly
spelt in the newspaper the ownor of the
name is invariably chagrined.
An instance worthy of note showing
the exceeding vitativeness or tonacity of
lie of the house cat occurred in the case
of a kitten belonging to Mrs. A. B. Kellv
last week. While Mrs. Kelly and daugh
ter Miss Elsio were making preparations
to visit in Pittsburg, this 'kitten, willing
at least to get in the way and make i'self
troublesome if not able to assist in the
matter of getting ready, proceeded to
pack itself in a trunk so securely as not
to be observed.' When pussy next saw
daylight it was in Pittsburg and about
twenty-four hours later, but it gave evi
dence of a goodly remaining number of
its nine lives when the trunk was opened
by jumping out and at once Kiving vent
to its characteristic animated pranks. So
remarkable a kitten waa considered wor
thy of being brought home agaiu.
Rey. C. A. Rheil, pastor of the Lu
theran church, German Hill, returned
Monday morning from a visit to his old
home, Malveron, Carroll Co., Ohio. He
brought with him several specimens of
tho gold ore or quartz found in the mine
at that place, over which so mach excite
ment has been raided, and which has
boon purchased by the Cleveland Mining
Co. and will be thoroughly tested. The
ppearance of the quartz is anything but
favorable, whon viewed by a novice, but
it may be rich stuff, or the real thing,
for aught we know. Fact is, if we are to
udge from appearances, they are putting
in an equally good quality of stone in the
new bank building of tho Forest County
National, aud this is a'so Mr. Rheil's
opinion, but of course we're not experts.
A specimen can be seen at thisofheo.
The latest in the social line is called
tho "bugging social" which is being in
troduced into other towns and proving a
great financial success. We have Becured
the scale of pricos which are as follows:
Girls under 111, 13 cents lor a hug of two
minutes, or 10 cents for a short squeeze ;
from 18 to 20 years, 50 cents : school
murms, 40 cents; another man's wifo, fl
widows, according to looks, from 0 cents
to 12. old maids, 3 cents or two for 5
cents and no limit of time. Preachers
pay double rates. Editors pay in ad
vance and are not allowed to participate
until everyone else Is through. Ex,
But we will just say right here that if any
of our societies take a notion to get up
such a dog-goned social as tho one men
tioned and wish to advertise it in the
Republican they will have to settle at
advertised rates, which are ten cents a
line straight, and in advance at that price,

To those who take an interest in such
phenomenae a much finor display of
"shooting stars" is this year promised
than the one which happens annually

great periodic star showers are seen at in
tervals of about 33 years, and according
to astronomers such a display is due
Nov. 12th and 13th and Nov. 27, 1899.
The meteors on the first dates will seem
to come out ot the constellation Leo, and
are known as the Leonids. The great
celestial showers on tho 27th will be
caused by the earth crossing the path of
the meteors that seem to come out
Andromeda, in tho northeast. Those
meteors were seen last in a great shower
in 1885, when a huge ball of blazing iron
dropped out. of the sky and buried itself
in tho earth near Mazipil, In Mexico,

John Hunter, an old and greatly re
spected gentleman, died at bis home near
Mill Villago, Erie Co., Pa., on Thursday
afternoon, August 17, 189.), aged eighty
years, four months, and seven days.
Mr. Hunter, or "Uncle John," as he
was called by those who knew him bst,
was the second son of a family of sixteen
children born to William and Sarah
Hunter. He was born April 10, 1819,and
grew to manhood on the Hunter home
stead near Tionesta, Forest Co , Pa. On
the 29lh of Sept 1842, he was united in
marriage with Eliza Dunn Hunter, who
is left to mourn his loss. During the oil
excitement of 1K65 he disposed of his
property in Forest county and moved to
Erie county, where he purchased a farm
on which lie has since resided. "Uncle
John" was a noted waterman and has
piloted hundreds of rafts down the Alle
gheny river.
He was the father of four children, two
of whom survive him, namely: Wm.
Mo. Hunter of Mill Village, Pa., and Mrs.
Jennie S. Myers of Villard, Minn. He
has seven grand children, namely : Cyn
thia Stranaban of La Boeuf, Pa., E. Belle
Hunter, of Mill Village, Pa., and Charles,

During his sickness he was patient and
uncomplaining, and at last he peacefully
went to sleep. With bier covered with

church, officiating.
"Weep no longer, friends, for father.
Though your hearts with griet are .sore.
For in the realnoss ot peace and glo.y
The good shall meet to part no more."
V
Many of our cit'zons will remember
Mr. Hunter as one of the unfortunate
ones that were in a serious wreck at
President station, on the W. N. Y. A P.
road, 18 years ago, when he was so seri
ously scalded that for some time his life
was despaired of. He never fully re
