The coming of Spring is associated iu the minds of
most people with house-cleaning and the general renovat
ing that uiakei the immortal words of 1'ajoe ' There's
uo place like uonie" a hollow mockery and burlesque.
True, there is no placo like home, at such times, and we
re very glad of it. But after order has come out of
chaos aud a man ceases to run the risk of death by lock
jaw from coming in contact with the business end of a
tack while hunting the colio bottle in the dead of a dark
oight, "There is no place like borne" again me ins some
thing to humunity and mau decides that after all house
cleaning pays.
It is wonderful a hat a lot of beauty cat be gotten
out of a few dollars' worth of paint and paper propenyap
plied. And it doesn't take many dollars' worth either,
when one can buy paper as low as Co cents a siogle bolt.
Good paper, too.. We have as good a line of paper as can
be seen tlsewhere in Tioueeta, perhaps better, but we'll
lot you judge for yourtelf . s to that.
A wurd about paint: Ualikej wall paper, low-priced
paint isn't cheap. In wall paper you get gond value for
what you pay little or much, but there is only one kind
of paint that is cheap and that is the best that can be
bought. John Lucas A Co. have been making paint for
a great many years. It may not be the only good paint
made but there is none better and you i re not taking
chances when you buy it, as you are in purchasing paints
made by comparatively ne and obscure manufacturers.
It is the only brand we keep.- Color caids can be had
for the asking.

From statements recently made in
some county papers, one would naturally
conclude that Frank Major under charge
of murder and now confined tn the Mead-
vllle jail, was a physical wreck, and lia
ble to save tde expense of a trial by kind

are vory far from the truth, says the Sl'ar
of that city. Since the discovery of a
unningly devised plan of escape, par
tially executed, be has been confined in a

finement, but bis health is unimpaired,
and the gallows lain no danger of being

The following is found in the Erie
Herald. It seems to be an account of an
occurrence in that city : "An old deacon
in one of the churches went to sleep
while the minister was preaching. At
the close of the sermon tho minister said:
Doacon White, will you now lead in
prayer?' Thore was no response. 'Doa
con White,' this time in a louder voice,
will you lead ?' Still na response. It
was evident that the deacon was slum
bering. Tho preacher made a third ap
peal and raised bis voice to a pitch that
uccoeded in waking tho drowsy man.
Deacon White, will you please lead?'
The deacon rubbed his eyes and opened
them wonderingly. 'Is it my lead? No
I just dealt."

in Presbyterian church. This cantata
criginated from the celobratod buttle be
tween Jephthah, Judge of Israel, and the
Ammonites. Jephthah, an Israelite, bad
beon banished from his home and taken
refuge in the land of Job, where he he
came a warrior and mighty man of valor.
IDs lame bad been ecuood back to Uileau
and when the Ammonites threatened to
make war against Israel, all of her peo
ple prayed that Jephthah might return
and take command of the army. The El
dors went to the land of Job for Jephthah
and offered to make him their ruler if he
would return. He accepted, returned
and took command. Before going to bat
tle he made a rash vow, that if the Lord
would deliver tho Ammonites In'o his
hands, he would.on his return from war,
n peace sacrilie unlo ttie Liortl the Iirst
thing that would meet him at the door of
his house. When he retumod he met his
only daughter, Ip' edeiah, whom bo sac
rificed according to his vow. About 45
characters are represented in costumo.
No pains have been spared to make this
grand cantata a success.

The graduating exercises of the class
of '00, Tionesta High School, at the court
house last evening, were attended by a
very large audience, filling- the court
room until thore wm scarcely standing
room left. The stago decorations were
very pleasing, the national and class col
ors blue and silvor predominating,
while massive potted flowers set off to
pre'.ty effect the handsome picture pre
sented by the members of tho class as
they were ranged across the rostrom. A
class of litt o folks trained by Mr.Ritcbey
furnished the vocal music, while the cor
net band discoursed some of its sweetest
strains. The essays and readings by the
graduates were delivered in splendid
style, not a halt nor break In any of tho
renditions. The class had carefully pre
pared for the occasion and gave the au
dience no possible chance for adverse
criticism. Rev. C. A. Rhoil closed the
evening's ploasurea in an earnest and
Impressive address to the class, and pre
sented the diplomas as follows: Mr.

Destructive Forest Fires.
There is not a township in the county
which has not been obliged t battle with
forest tires during the past week, and
much propel t.y has been consumed. In
Green township the fire has swept
through the timber slashings ofthS head
waters of Little Coon and destroyed a
number of log piles and skidways, be
sides partially ruining considerable
standing timber. Grove Bros., who are
drilling for P. M. Shannon in that vicin
ity, lost a complete rig, with about all the
maehinory and equipment connected
with the well. Their loss is total and
amounts to several hundred dollars. The
tire is still raging.
In Kingsley and Hickory townships
Wheeler A Dusenbury have had their en-
lire force of men from both ti e Endeavor
and Newtown mills at work almost con
stantly for the past four days fighting the
fiory elements, and at lost accounts had
their property pretty well protected,
though their loss will be considerable.
Two rigs near Trunkeyville were de
stroyed by fire Sunday, both being pro
ducing wells, and we understand consid
erablo oil was consumed. Owners of oil
property seem to be the most hampered
by the fire in this section.
In Jenks township fires have been rag
ing for several days, but up to this writ
ing we are pleased to note no very great
damage or lo-s has been sustained by
its inhabitants or business interests.

tho death of a sister, Mrs. C. M. Ball, the
following account el which we take Irom
the Fredonia (N. Y.) Censor of the 18th
inst. Mrs. Ball is well and favorably
known to many of our older citizens:
Mrs. Cynthia Dale Ball died at her home,
258 East Main street, Tuesday afternoon,
April 10th, 1900. She had been iu good
health till she received injuries from a fall
last January which undoubtedly hast
ened her death. The deceased was born
in Tionesta.Pa., December 31st, 1823, and
was married to Mi. Clinton M. Ball
about fifty nine years ago. The last thirty
years of her life have been spent in this
village where she has resided as a quiet
citizen. She aimed rather to make her
self the center of her home than to make
herself prominent in social a flairs.
Eight years ago her son, William Ball,
died in Olean and seven years ago her
husband died at the old nomesUad ia
Fredonia. Mrs. Hall is survived by
three sisters, Mrs. Marinrie Walters,
Beldenvillo, Wis., Mrs. Emily Gorman,
East Hickory, Pa., Miss Sarah A. Dale,
Tionesta, Pa., and by one brother, Mar
vin Dale, of St. Paul, Minn.
Six children also survive her: Mrs,
Edward Howard of Kullalo; Mrs. Fred
Harris of Westtield; Mrs. Albert Hartlet
