The days are getting perceptably longer at the tail end, but the mornings don't seem to dawn much earlier, and the old adage to the effect that "when the days begin to lengthen the cold begins to strengthen" is not as truthful as It is po etical in the present instance either. The ballot law requires that nomina tions for borough and township olQces made by political partiea shall be filed with the county commissioners eighteen days before the date of the February election. - The election will be held on Tuesday, February 20th and the fcorough and township caucuses will be due the next eight days.

About three years ago she was presented with the shrub, which has since had perfect care, and now a nice specimen of the ripe fruit can be seen hang ng on one of its branches, and will be plucked soon. 'Iheormge is a little below the medium size, and although of nice, rich clor, has the appearance of be ing just a trifle shriveled. It has been almost a year in maturing. P. S. The orange was plucked this morning, and we were permitted to sample it. It was dolicious. Capt. Geo. Stow Woman's Reliof Corps of this place will present tbe name of on of its worthy members at tbe next department convention of that noble or der for department treasurer, in the per son Mrs. Jennie E.

Tionesta has one of the most zealous, most efficient and best working Corps in the State, so admitted by many of the State officials, and if the department would confer an honor on Corps 137 it will place one of its most popular members in this office without a dissenting vote, especially since it Is the first time the Corps has asked a State appointmeut. Mrs. Agnew'a many friends will be delighted with her preferment. It would seem from the following squib from the Clarion Democrat that our old friend "Dick" King has gotten mixed up somehow in a dispute over the size of a wildcat killed in his vicinity, but an will be observed, be still basa very practical way of settling that kind of con troversies: "Esquire F. E. King, of Ty lersburg, Farmington township, settled the question the other day about the big wild cat, of wh'ch so much has been said. The 'squire did not think worth while to argue much about its size, so be just brought tbe pelt in to settle all dis putes, and it measured just 4 peet and 5 Inches from tip to tip. 'Facta is facts,' and 'riggers won't lie.' " A abort but very entertaining account of how it feels to be in the earthquake belt when the earth is quaking is given in a letter in this issue irom Mrs. J. B. Pearsall, who, with her husband, is en joying the delights of Southern California this winter, and will be read with pleas ure by tbelr many Forest county friends. We apprehend Mr. and Mrs. Pearsall'a experience with tbe earthquake was somewhat after the fashion of tho young Kansas couple who telegraphed the news of the first arrival in their home to their eastern friends, adding that "tliey would n't take ten thousand dollars for this one, nor give ten cents for another" We hope our former Forest countians will let their Eastern friends beor from thorn frequently through the columns of the Republican while they sojourn in that fair land.

The County Commissioners yes.er- day made the appointment of a Steward and Matron of the County Home, Mr. and Mrs. George Paup of Neiltown, Harmony twp., being named. Tbe ap.ointmuut is for one year, and the salary is fixed at $150 for the Steward and 1150 for the Matron. Mr. Paup is one of our coun ty's most successful husbandmen, own ing a fine faim near tbe villiage of Neil town, which he has under fine state of cultivation. Both bo and his wile have bad experience in the management of a county borne, having been in charge of the Venango county institution for three years. It was largely this fact that influ enced the Commissioners In their selec tion, which is believed to be a good one.

We aie in receipt of the sixth an- anuual catalogue of the Warren Business University, which is a model of neatness and, very nicely portrays the many ad vantages to be had at this most success ful school for fitting young men and young worsen for the business walks of life. Under the management of Prof, W. F. MoWilliams, Principal, this ad mirably conducted Institution has gained wonderful favor among the people of this section of the State, and the very large attendance which it has had during the past term is ample evidence that the work done there is ofthe most thorough and satisfactory character. To tboso who have any notion whatever of taking a course in business training, short hand, typewriting, telegraphy or the like, we would say send for a copy of the cata logue, place yourse.f in communitalion with the principal and ascertain the ad vantages they have to offer. "Sketches in Crude Oil," by John J. McLaurin, the second edition of which has been published, is one of the most in tensely interesting books that has ever been placed on the market in this lati tude. The aut. or has made his second work so much superior to his first that one would scarcely believe the two wore written by the same master baud. The oil business from its very inception, back in the fifties, down to the present date Is coy .'red fully, and no stcry, auecdole, data or material fact connected with the pioneer days of oildom has been over looked. The book is profuse in illustra tion and portraiture, and withal a model of beauty in niiko-up and typographical neatness. In a short time you will likely get a call from A. W. Albaugh, tbe hustling canvassar, who has taken the agency for this book. Look it over and subscribe for it; you will not regret the outlay it you once tackle the conteuts. All Agreeable Surprise. Over 45 couples of young people assem bled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Downey of Kellettyllle on Saturday evening to participate in the surprise to Geo, B. Downey, their only son, who on that day was 21 years, old. The peo ple all came early and it was really a sur prise to George, he not having even guessed at what was about to happen. During the early part ofthe day Geo. was lured away to the residence and store of Mrs. M. Andrews, where he was employed to assist iu handing out goods in exchange for tho cash, while at bouie there was a much different program be ing enacted. Tbe house was tastefully decorated with ferns, evergreens and an abundance of Amorican flags. The dark ness was excluded Irom the house by nu merous lights so elegantly arranged as not to leave a particle of gloom or cast even a shadow upon the festivities. Mrs, M. Andrews and Mrs. Delia Kribbs were the committee on invitation and over 100 Invitations went out, to which about 90 responded, despite the muddy roads and inclement weather. There was present tho elite of Mayburg, Balltown, Porkey, Newtown Mills, Starr, Whig Hill and Crow Hill. The evening was spent in music, games, speeches, etc. The music was io charge of Profs. Harry E. Lovell, Ralph Castle and Miss Orr. A temper ance recitation was beautifully rendered by Miss Kate Wolfe, who has had soma experience in this lino, having won the silver medal given at the Demorest con test in this town two years ago. Her efforts were gonerously applauded, evi dencing Iho fact that temperance was a favorite theme with the young people. Miss Helen Stroup of Porkey rendered two beautiful solos, playing her own ac companiment on the piano, and held the audience in closest attention. Miss Orr also sang a comic song which met the ap proval of all. W. A. Kribbs was down for a few remarks which were certainly ap preciated. His language was of the best and his words being well chosen and al ways to the point gained for him many favorable comments from the young peo ple. At 11:30 a bountiful supper was served by pretty and elegant waiters, consisting of four each of girls and boys, who wore the latest styles and patterns in waiter aprons and caps. To the com mittee who had chargo ofthe dainties too great praise cannot be given. Every thing was of the palatable kind and was relished by all. The presents were both cosily and numerous and did space per mit we would gladly mention each donor and article. The guests wcro conveyed to and from the residence In carriages which were furnished by liveryman W. A. Kribbs. After spending a delightful evening nil departed peacefully for their homes, after thanking the host and hostes lor their kindness and wishing for many more su h events. H kliotropk. Miss Annie E.

A Philadsiphia dispatch under date of Jan. 19, gives this account of tho death of Will J. MeConnell, well known to a iarge number of our people, baring been engaged in a three weoks' courso of leo tuses here some years ago: ' Excessive use of morphine to which, it appears, he bad been addicted during the past four years, was the cause of the death in a hospital here to-night of Will J.

Tionesta has again been called upon to mourn tbe loss of one of its oldest and most highly respected citizens in the per son of Eli S. Holeman, Esq., who died on Monday morning, January 22, 1900. Of all the tarly settlers of the beautiful valley of the Allegheny no i ame carried with it more honor or influence than that of Eli Holeman, who emigrated to Tio nesta townbbip, Venango county, in 1800, settling on tbe broad and beautiful ex pansion of tbe valley three miles below Tionesta, which has since been known as Holeman Flats. And it seems worthy of notice that just one century later, a grandson ofthe same Mr. Holeman, bear ing the name of his paternal grandfather, should pas-, from the activity a of life into the great unknown, leaving tbe same rich legacy of tbe Holeman fauiily to children and grandchildren that of a good name. Eli Holeman was a son of the late Jud.e Alexander and Clarissa Sexton Holeman, and was born July 9, 1830, at Holeman Flats where be was reared and educated. His father was a man promi nent in the social and political life of bis county and also served one term in tbe State legislature. Though Mr. Holeman possessed many of tbe sterling qualities of his father, yet he was of a retiring na ture and little Inclined to achieve politi cal distinction and chose the occupation of farming until 18S0, when be entered the mercantile business in the firm ol Holeman & Hopkins at this place. In the same year, he moved his family to his b.vely home on Vine street, where be passed tho remainder of his life in peace and com lor t. In 1885 he was converted under the ministry of Rev. F. M. Small and united with the M. E. church where be remain ed till seven years ago when he united with the Free Methodist church, remain ing a consistent member till the time of bis death. Of his conversion uo one ever had a doubt. With him "Consecration meant obedience to tho Spirit's every call." Not being of a "luke warm" dis position, but possessed of great strength of character, nothing but "true-hearted, whole-hearted" service for his blessed Lord would suffice him, which be sought to render at the cost and sacrifice of asso ciations once dear to him. His life re echoed the Injunction of Longft How to "be what we are and speak what we think, and iu all things be loyal to truth and the sacred profession of friendship " Mr. Holeman was twice married, bis first ,vife being Lydia.daughter of Henry C. and Rebecca Prather McCalmont of President, who died February 21, 1872. Of this marriage two children now sur vive him Mr. George W. Holeman and Mrs. Alice Z. Vonght, both of this place. On Feb. 25, 1880, he was again married to Miss Julia Blaisdoll of Vineland, N. J., by whom bo has one son living Lester. Ho is ulso survived by throe sisters Elizabeth (Mrs. Dr. W. F. Hunter) and Nancy, widow ofthe late Hon. J.G. Dale, of Tionesta, Mrs. Jacob Maze, of Clar ingtou ; and two brothers John of Pleas autviile, and Richard of Mill Villiage, Pa. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. M. B. Miller, will be held this af ternoon at 2 o'clock, at the home, and the interment will be in beautiful Riverside cemetery. I hat California Earthquake. Los AjTUeles, Cal., Jan. 12, 1900. Forest Republican: Seeing In your paper of January 3d an account of the earthquake which shook Southern California and destroyed San Jacinto, I thought I would say to my Forest county friends, through the Re publican, that I with my husband had the pleasure of enloying the "shake." On Dec. 21, 189!), we arrived in Southern California. Aflor being six days and nighti coming across tho "desert" we were naturally very tired and stopped off at Banning, a small town on the edge of the desert, for a rest. About 4 o'clock in the morning, December 25tb, we were both shakan out of bed in a great hurry. My first impression was an explosion of some kind; the second was that the house was moving off on wheels, the same as a car did when asleep in a berth. I taid, "Oh, my I let's get out of the bouse," but by the time I got to the door the house was back in its old position, then we realized that it was an earth quake. We wore fortunate, however, in being in a frame building as tbe brick buildings in banning were badly wrecked; bottles, dishes, and everything that could fall, were thrown down iu the bouses and broken. Banning is only twelvn miles from San Jacinto, tbe town destroyed. I need not add that we were worse frightened than hurt, although J. B. will not own that he was frigh'ened, but I am willing to own that I was, and am thankful for the experience but not for the fright. Califotuians will say, "What about your Eastern blizzards and thunder torms?" I answer, "the bliz zards and thunder storms always give us warning and we are prepared for tl em, but tbe earthquakes do not." One thing I have decided on emphatically anil that is that I will not live in a brick house while in California. Tho climate here is very nice, tl.e days being like our June days in Pennsylva nia, and Los Angeles very much like our Eastern cities in every respect. I am very much in love with Southern Cali fornia, but not with its eaithqnakes. Respectfully, Mary A. Peahsall. Success of a Former Citizen.
