Always up-to-date. 2t k James Meabon, the young man of Grand Valley who was accidentally shot while out with a posse In search of Frank Woodward, the missing burglar-murderer, is on (he high road to recovery. He was, a few days ago, taken from Grand Valley to the borne of his grandfather, Judge C. C. Merritt at Goodwill mil. Titusville Courier. "Can you tell me what sort of weather we may expect next month T" wrote a subscriber to the editor of a paper, and the editor replied as follows: "It is my belief that the weather next month will be very much like your subscription." The inquirer wondered for an hour what the editor waa driving at, when he hap pened to think of the word "unsettled." He sent in the required amount next day Among the new advertisements In this week's Republican Is William B. fames, one of Oil City's leading mer chants, whose double oolumn ad may be readily found on this page. Mr. Jam' is one of the largest and most complete dry goods emporiums In that city, and his reputation for strictly honorable deal ing is the very best. He is a merchant of the broad-gauge, up-to-date type,, in fact. A charter was recently granted by the State D partment at Uarrisburg to T. D. Collins, the extensive lumberman, for a railroad from Mavburg to Sheffield on Tlonesta creek. The distance will be about sixteen miles and the road will be pushed to completion next summer, un- dor the personal supervision of Mr. Col lins. It will form ajunction at Sheffield with the P. A E, road, and will be a fine outlet for Mr. t'.'a largo lumber iutercsts along the Tlonesta creek. The Citizens Traction Co., of Oil City, recently chartered, fias purchased the Franklin street railway, and there is cv ery probability that the road will be ex tended to Oil City, where the firrt named company has secured franchises entitling it to the use of the streets. The talk is also to the effect that the Titusvitle and Pleasantville line will be extended to Oil City. This would make a very desirable trolly service for the inhabitants along the iine and would cover mu h paying country. A murder was committed at Drift wood, Cameron county, Thurday night, Robert Kane,aged 2i years, or a long time held a grievance against Stephen Carey, of the same age, and about 9 o'clock Thursday night Kane walked into the office oflie Driftwood hotel, and in the presence of aAig crowd, drew a re volver and snot Carey through the head.S killing him instantly. Kane made a dash for the mountais where he was captured several hours afterward by a party ef men. H e is now in jail at Em porium. WoodariWUgTitusville third man, has been caug. in, nit. Some ner vous people inVfis vicinity got the usual excitement streak on when they heard last Wednesday evening that' this time the now noted third burglar bad been caught sure at a place near Parrish.on the Tlonesta Valley R'y. Titusville poople were excited as a matter of course, and were eager for news of the great capture, and one oi the papers there did "scoop' its neighbors by publishing a double column fake that had to be righted next day. The facta are that a man was taken for the missing burglar and secured by J. L. Rankin and Truman Giliillan, who were convinced befn:e the train left that he wasn't the man, and he was released. It seems altogether probable, don't it, that the man Woodard, who assisted in the murder of an offlcor, would lurk around the scene of his bloody work for noerly two mon hsf Rats. In another column will be found (he advertisement of Wilmer Atkinson Co., publishers of The Biggie Books. In con cisehess of statement, in the thoroughness With which the ground has beeu covered, The Biggie Books have 'won praises on every hand. The boiled-down common sense, cream not skim-milk method, which chaffecterlzes the pages'1 of the farm Journal has been carried out in their preparation. For mechanical ef fect no expense or pains have been spartAl, and the highly iiuishod paper, the brau tlful illustrations, the excellent type and press work, and the handsome cloth binding, make these books models of the printer's art. The color work in the Berry, Poultry and Cow bonks has never been attempted before in any book sell ing for a reasonable price. . No larm or rural home is complete without Judge Biggie's Books, and no one interested in . hese subjects can afford to let another day go by without sharing in the helpfu things with which their pages are filled, Pay $10 for a farm library other than this and you will not have more value.

Address, Tionesta, Fa. It Oil rossiljlllih-s or Forest County. People have often inquired why Forest county has never attracted the attention of prospective "wild-catters" to a greater degree, since it ties on the "magio belt," or i't" line Northeast and Southwest, from the Allegheny field to the Brad ford field of the North. No county on the belt shows so many distinct stratas of sand, all being more or less productive, and each having itB peculiarities. Among the principle sands are found the Claren don, Gusher, Balltown, Cooper, Queen and Grey all very rich in oil. Traces of Bradtord sand are found to contain show ings of oil; the Clarion county sand is also productive in this county. The shallow sand known as the Lytle Is productive on Cropp Hill and has good Btaying qualities; but it Is common ly known that the Balltown sand was the most productive of any sand yet discov ered, and attracted the attention of more operators than any other pool in the belt. A slran ie fact exists that nearly all the developements, with the exception of a few local instances, have been on the north of Tionesta creek, 85 per cent, of all these wells drilled being productive. Very little drilling has ever been done from the month of the creek to Balltown, a distance of 25 miles. Forty-two years ago there was a well drilled by water power on Little Coon creek, with a show ing of gas and oil ; 11 years later there was a well drilled at Golin.a by Fink bine, a well-known Clarion operator; the well filled up aud rn over the cas ing but was never pumned nor shot. Later P. M. Snannon drilled three wells on lands of T. h. Collins. This is about the extent of the developoment in that section. We predict that it will not be long be fore these thousands of acres of undevel oped territory 111 be thoroughly tested, the railroad making it easier and cheaper to get the drilling material on the ground. Even at this late date thero has been scarcely enough drilling to demonstrate the fact that there are six oil-bearing sands in an area of 100 squaro miles. So with all these iacts before us there is no reason why the 80 per cent, of Forest county that is undeveloped should not be drilled at a profit to the operator. The (feather a Year Ago, D. G. Heasley of Clarington, this coun ty, who kept a careful record of the weather d uring 1899, gives this account of the first two months, from which thosn who are still hoping for more rigid winter weather may extract a little com fort : January 1 fair and cold, 2 murcury 9 bel iw zero, 3 warm, 4 rain, 5 and 6 rain and sjgw, 7 windy with murcury 10 above y.cro, 8 pleasant and good sleighing, 9 snowed all day, 10 fair, 11 fair and cold (10 below zero), 12 fair, 13 oft and warm, 14 raining and extremely high wind with snow all gone, 15 fair and warm, 16 rain. 17 warm and muddy, 18 cold and clear, 19 cold in the morning and warmer during the day, 20 warm and threatening, 21 werm and windy, 22 w'arm and pleasant, 23 warm and muddy, 24 rain followed by snow, 25 colder, 20 warmer with snow in the evening, 27 very cold all day, 28 10 below aero and creek frozen over, 29 4 be low zero and cold all day, 30 2 below zero ami cold all day, 31 4 below zero and warmer all day.

(Jood Men at I ho Front In Turk State. The following from the Olean Morning Time rofors to a brother of Hon. N. P. Wheeler of Endeavor, mid shows that York State puts her best men to the front ; "In the Ctiinmittee assignments an nounced in tli assembly last night, the legislators representing this county aie members ofthe most important commit tees in the legislative body. Hon. Wm. E. Wheeler of this district, is a member of the ways and means, tho committee first in importanc" and responsibility in the house. It is a committee coveted by all the members -because of the influence it bears to legislation. Mr. V4ieel0r'B selection is deserved in his ability to meet the responsibility involved, but it is no less a high honor that he has been assigned to its membership.

Duke & Wolcott ave a new well on their lease in the Fnuncetown district, which is reported as being a fair pro ducer. Tituxville World. A. II. Jiieelyn, Dead. Death has again claimed another old oil man, A, II. Jocelyo, who passed away in Brooklyn, N.Y., Friday niglrlast. Mr, JoCelyn came to the oil regions in the tall of 1804, and bought of John Green three farms on the head waters of Stewana run, comprising 356 acres, for which he paid Jolm Green the sum of $40,000. This was before the United States well 'was struck This well, on the Holeman farm, Pithole creek, flowed 250 l-arrels a day. Mr.Joce lyn had the three farms surveyed off into acre lots and stocked out for$l,000,000,but the flood ol .March 1865 completely knock ed out oil speculation before he had his oil company fairly completed. In the summer of 1805 Mr. Jocelyn built a house at a cost of $7,000 and drilled two wells. He got oil in botli, but tho were not (lowing wells. He (hen returned to New York city and established a slate factory, clearing $10,000 a year for Uie following ten years. At the expiration of that time he disposed of the business and went west to Leadville and Califor n a. He was originally a bank note en graver. Mr. and Mrs. Jocelyn were In Titusvillo In the summer ot 1895, visiting at the home of Hon. and Mrs. William Barnsdall. Deceased was a good-hearted man and a scholar, and as such will be remembered by many oil region friends, Titusville Herald. A Standard Anion? Newspaper. .
