Commissioner Coon reports that on

The eclipse of tho moon last Saturday
night was a success in all respects and
pulled off as per schedule. The sky was
clear and absolutely cloudless, and the
show began about 0 o'clock and lasted
till shortly after 10:00. The affair was
wltnossed by about everybody in the
city, and the spectators were partly rec
ompensed for tho disappointment suf
fered some weeks ago in the "shooting
star fiasco."
An exchange is correct in saying
that "Every pound of print paper, esery
pound of job t-tock used in a newspaper
office is costing to-day 2o per cent more
than it did eight weeks ago, ami thero is
no prospect of a reduction. Yet news
papers neither ask nor receive one cent
more for their productions in any of its
forms. The price of tho paper to the
reader remains the saruo, advertising
rates always low, remain low, and cut
throat competition between job offices
makes profit in job work exceedingly
problematical."
The Re.ynoldsville o irrespondeiu of
the DuBois Courier reports a peculiar
find on the new Reynoldsville and Falls
Creek railroad extension to Hopkins'
Mill. On F"riday, workmen on the new
railroad biidge that spans the creek at
the mill discovered a can ot counterfeit
money, composed of half-dollars and
nickels, amounting to $15. The date of
the half-dollars was lftjO. Each piece of
money was carefully wrapped in tissue
paper and the same material used be
tween each layer. The workmen think
the can was unearthed by blasting, as it
was noticed lying about for several days
before the contents were discovered.
The Farm Journal is unlike any
other paper; for oua thing it prints no
quack medical advertisements; for
another it takes five-year subscriptions
and gets the paper to its subscribers the
full time it they are anywhere en this
planet, even if they move two or three
times; if they dio their heirs get it. Now
we are going to combine with the F'arm
Journal and send the Republican one
year and the F'arm Journal 5 years,
(all of 1900, 1901, 1902, 1903. and 1904), to
every advance-paying subscriber, new
and old, to the Republican. This great
offer had bettor be accepted before it is
withdrawn.
The following Is a "Bill of F"are,"

Prof. John F. Bigler, superintendent

editor of tho Corry Flyer gives
some aia tioiiuay-time auvice in uie
following words: "Young man if you're
in search of a present for your best girl,
and if you want something up-to-date,
something she will appreciate, buy the
dear girl something usofnl nice gloves,
nice handkerchiefs, a nice pair of shoes, a
pretty wrap or something to make her
coinf rtable. The girl that would not
prize such a gift above cheap jewel
ry or gew-gaws which would cost fully
us much isn't worth spending time on.
But whatever you got, got a nice article;
not an extravagantly cosily article- that
might not comparo woll with other things
she waars, but li t it be nice and some
thing that she will take pleasure in wear
ing or using."
The report that Marienville is just
now passiug through a serious epidemic
of diphtheria hav ng gained considerable
currency in tnis section, the editor of the
Rkpublican this morning took the pre'
caution to call np Dr. Towler, the oldest
physician of that place, by telephone and
this is what he reports and is willing he
shall be so quoted : "Recently diphtheia
has been in four families; in three of
these the disease is over. All theso fain
Hies are still quarrantine I, notwithstand
ing that the throats of the patients are
well, and ail are kept under quarrantine
30 days after the last appearance of the
disease. Of deaths, there have I een four
from straight dipthei la, and three from
membraneous croup. These deaths civ
er a period of two and one-half months.
There is at present not a case in town but
that is convalescent." The teachers' ii
stitute beuins in Marienville next Mon
day, and as tho prevalence of a serious ep
idomic of this dreaded disease would be a
matter of gravest concern to the people of
every portion of the county under tho
circumstances, wo have given the above
status of tho case from what we would
consider the very best of authority.

Which shone brigluly on hi r gallant

Of the beautiful girl from the country,
Came soilly walking down the shaded

To meet iier lover brave and handsome

Proud sue looked, yet so sweet and
queenly,
With stately mein she came nearer and

4
While the trouble was don't you see?
This choice country maiden,
From the country,
Many a gallant loyer had she.

Yet the beautiful girl in the shaded lane
From the country,
Only blushed and said, "no sir."

Sweetly and sweetly beamed the tempter

F'rom her fair red cheeks just like roses,
When one by one she met
Her lovers in the shaded lane.

Was won at last,

As they siood in tho gathoring twilight,
One evening in June.

a Happy Home is one of the dearest
wishes of every humau heart, especial

The first requisite for a Happy
Home is Love and Affection, for
without these a gilded palace is but
a prison cell to aching hearts starv
ing for human sympathy and love.
The next great desideratum is to
make the home (however humble it
may be) as Comfortable as possible.

easy thiug lo have A WELL FUR
NISHED HOUSE, eveu for the man

this effort still easier, the system of selling gooda on the EASY PAYMENT
PLAN has within a few years been inaugurated, and has proved a blessing
to many thousands of families.
