lx BUA1IAM LINCOLN once said to a man,
"If you think it's an easy job being Presi
dent, try it yourself." . Same way with writing
advertisements. That reminds us of Lincoln's
story of the man in Langamen county, 111., who
could run faster and fight harder than any other
man In that country but the story appears in
"Ebcn llolden," Bochellcr's intensely interest
ing story which is considered by competent crit
ics superior to "David Ilarum." "We have the
book in stock, also "Janice Meridith," "To
Have and to Hold," "Stringtown on the Pike,"
and other of the late popular works of fiction
There is also a long list of titles in the old fa.
voritcs in good bindings, ranging in price lrom
15c to 65c and many of the pretty little gift
books in gold tops and fancy binding at a small
price. Have you seen the latest thing in sleds

THE GOLINZA HOLOCAUST.
News of tho burning of the three small
childron of Emmet W. Grubbs at Golin
za, Green towuship, last Wednesday
morning came In after about one-half of
tho edition of the Republican was print
ed, and in cousqnuento only a part of our
readers were mado aware of the frightful
affair through that channel.
The father had gono to his work early
in tho morning, and it seems the mother
had left the bouse to visit a neighbor,
leaving tho babe, Ruth, aged six mouths,
iu the cradle asleep, and the other two
children, .Tamos aud Twilla. aged respec
tively fivo and three years at play In tho
hnuso. Not long afterward the building
was discovered to be on fire, tho whole
inside boiug aflame. Men rushed to the
rescue, but nothing whatover could be
done to save the littlo ones, who had
doubtless already been burned lo death.
The parents were frantic over tho awful
affair and heartfelt sympathy Is expressed
on all sides for them.
The origin of the firo is not and doubt
less never will be, known, tho most
plausiblo theory being that tho two chil
dren woro iu some manner playing with
the gas fire, igniting some iullamable
substance. Tho bodies of the two older
ones were found near whora a bed had
stood in tho loom. The pot dog's re
mains were also in that quarter. It is
evident from this that tho childron were
cither on tho bed or had crawled under it
to escape, from tho fire.
The charred remains of the three little
ones wero taken from tho ruins as soon
as the fire could be extinguished, and
were prepared for burial. Tho funeral
was held on Thursday last, the three
bodies being interred in one grave al tho
Guitonvillo cemetery.
In an accident at Olean last Wednes
day afternoon, Joseph Kidd, 'lie of tho
oldest engineers, in point of servico, on
thi-i division of tho P. R. R., was killed,
as was also his firoman, A. Patterson,
both residents of Oil City. The. train,
which was going at a slackened rate of
speed, ran into an open switch and eol-
lideJ with a string of loaded coal car".
Tho fireman was instantly killod. and
the engineer was so seriously scalded
that ho diod in about four hours. The
men stuck to their posts till tho last.
Both wore married and aro survived by
their wives, but leave no children. None
of tho passongers were injured, but bag
gageman L W. Bessey had his ankle
sprained. The train was in charge of
conductor Jack Walsh. It is thought the
switch had been tamp' red with by a
young man who had been observed
in the vicinity a sun t timo previous to
the accident.
Milon Tucker ol Harmony town
ship was a pleasant caller at tho Rcrun
I.H'AN' oflico last Thursday. Mr. T, lives
near tho Fogle Farm, one of the good
paving oil properties of this section, am!
which is owned by Col. Cartor of Titus
ville. Embraced in the operations of
that place are li wells, winch are
pumped daily by two men, nsiii'i four
"pone's and four boilers, fired with
gas. Over 40.000 feet of wire rope is re
quired to reach tho wells, and so perfect
are all the arrangements for doing the
work that tho two men aro ahlo to take
care of tho entire plant. Homo of the
wells yield less than half a barrel, but it
co-its no more to pump them than to let
them stand idle, and they all help in the
general c lit put. As showing tho la-tin
qualities of this territory, Mr. Tucktr
mentioned tho fact that the old Fogle No.
I, drilled more than :ir years ago is still
producing as much as some of Ihoso
drilled within the past four or fivo years.
