When an editor makes a mistake in bis paper, says an exchange, all the world sees it and calls him a liar. When a pri vate citizen makes mistake, nobody knows it except a few friends, and tbey come around and ask the editor to keep it out of the paper. When the private citizen dies, the editor is asked to write up all his good qualities and leave out the bad. When the editor dies, the private citizen will say, "Now that old liar will get his desorts." Arrangements are being completed for the first hanging in the history of Armstrong county.

Amateur poultry raisers have bad their Innings all fall and winter and it is only just ce to ask tbem to give the ama teur gardener a chance by penning up their fowls. Nothing is more discourag ing to industry than a flock of chickens at work picking seeds out of the ground, or kicking and pawing the earth off the roots of shrubs and vines which the own er (perbsps the industrious housewife berselO has spent hours of labor and day dreaming over and getting in proper shape for the summer season of loveli ness, and with the expectation of enjoy ing later on. It Is difUcult for two fami lies, one with a flock of prized and Indus trious fowls at large and the other with atine garden In embryo, to preserve cor dial relations and the use of an enclosure for fowls at this particular season of the year Is as highly recommended for good temper as sassafrass tea Is for good health. The only thing certain about the death of Blanche Kelly, a poor unlortu nate woman whose body was found in the Allegheny river last Sunday morning near Star brick, about three miles below Warren, U that she Is dead. How, when and where she came to her death is still unknown to the public, and the verdict of the coroner's Jury given Monday eve ning Is not satislactory and does not solve the mystery ot suicide or foul play, nor does it discover the guilty parties. The theory that the woman jumped into the river at Warren Saturday evening alter drinking liquor at a saloon with two men and another woman Is not clearly estab lished, and undertaker Bayer and others are not satisfied that she was drowned. But the body was embalmed and put into the receiving vault at Oakland cemetery last Monday afternoon to await answer from Hamilton, Canada, where it Is said the dead woman's relatives live. She had lived here about six mouths and had a little girl who has been cared for by a family in the West End, and her death Is a bad ending t a sad life. Mail.

Samuel Shoup, for many years one of the well known residents of this section, died at Emergency Hospital, Warren, Pa., Sunday, March 22, 1903, where be had been receiving treatment for stomach trouble from which he had suffered for a number of years. Mr, Shoup was born on a farm near Callensburg, Clarion Co., Pa., April 17, 1834, Ho was fora number of j ears a resident of President, Venango county. After the death of his wife there, 31 years ago, he was engaged with his brother In the lumber business, making bis home tor the most part in Pittsburg and McKeesport.

Early last Thursday morning fire com pletely destroyed the large farm barn of Charles Weingard, whose residence Is on the top of Tubbs Run hill about three miles from Tionesta. The structure was a bank-barn, substantially built, 32x62 feet in dimensions. In it was s'ored about seven tons of hay, some straw, wheat, oats, and buckwheat, wagon, bug gy, harness and nearly all of his farming implements and machinery. All were burned up, together with a cow and a steer. (lis team of horses and other stock were saved, but one or two cows were so badly burned it is doubtful whether they will live. The origin of the fire is a complete mystery. Mr. Welngard's brother, Lewis, residing in Harmony township, had driv en over the evening before to get a load of hay, and bad left his wagon Inside the barn, Intending to load the hay next morning. As late as 12 o'clock that night the brothers bad been to the barn and are morally certain there were 110 evi dences ot tire about the premises when they left and retired for the night. About 2 o'clock in the morning the household was awakened by a crackling noise and the smell of smoke. Rushing out the men found the entire upper story of the barn enveloped in flames. They did what they could to save the live slock with the result noted alxve. Lewis Welngard's wagon and harness were also consumed, but his horses were saved. Mr. Weingard had kept his property insured until about two years ago when he allowed his policies to lapse, and his loss is now a total one, and will be up ward of a thousand dollars. Two Injured in a 20-Foot Fall. Jacob Berlin of Whig Hill had bis left ankle dislocated and was otherwise some what bruised, and Edward Wright of near Tidioute bad bis right arm below the elbow badly crushed and was severe ly cut about the face, last Saturday fore noon at the Foreman mill near Delight, in Hickory township. The men were taking out a car of lumber when the run way parted, letting the car, load, and men fait through to the ground, a dist ance of about 20 feet. It is strange bow the men escaped much more serious in- Jury In such a mixup. Dr. W. G. Mor row was summoned and performed the necessary surgery, and the Injured men are getting along well.

Municipalities are required to exercise vigilence in fitting and preserving the streets and sidewalks in a safe and proper condition for public travel. When prop erty owners fail to act promptly to rem edy defective sidewalks (routing tbeir properties, after notification by the bor ough authorities, damages found against the municipality can be recovered against the property owners. Every effoi t should be made by municigal officers to reduce the chance of accident by reducing defec tive or improper sidewalks to a mini mum. All steps, except at street cross ings, should be eliminated. Publio sen timent is against them and damages would be recovered in case they cause ac cident. Referring to the rigidity with which the courts exact strict care for the safety and convenience of the public in the use of the streets the Philadelphia In quirer says : Almost in every instance where boroughs of the state are biiug sued for injuries resulting from defective sidewalks or streets the verdict of the jury is agaiust the authorities and in fa vor of the injured person. This has been the fact for years and yet lu many towns, even in many of our third-class cities, there is a lack of attention to the side walks and the streets which can only be regarded as lamentable. Sunken bricks, broken planks, ill-supported stones and every species of defective sibewalk trip the unwary. The cost of repair looks big, but it really isn't when carefully con sidered. Every good sidewalk enhances the value of every taxpayer's property. iirnmlerville. W. N. Ball has moved from the old Grunder house to the house vacated by O. W. Rea. Harry T.

Price of Hemlock Adraneeil. Commencing to-day, March 21, hem lock lumber will be advanced in price $2 per thousand and will be sold at $20. Last year the same quality of lumber sold at from $1(1 to $17 in Oil City. The whole salers claim that two conditions are re sponsible for the advance, tho largely In creased demand, owing to the large in crease in building operations in the coal and oil towns in Western Pennsylvania, and the advance in freight rates by the P. R. R. In several cases the advance in freight is from 25 to 50 per cent. Twenty dollars per tboussnd is the highest price ever pnid for hemlock lumber in this city so the wholesalers say and recalls vividly the time, not so very far back, when the wood was considered of such litte value for building that the treis, when felled for the tan bark wore permitted to lay and rot. Now practically all of the hem- luck of Western Pennsylvania is held by loss than a half dozen wealthy mill men who only ship the product of their mills as the markets demand. It is only a few months ago that one of the largest mlds in Forest county refused to make a contract with a Pittsburg lumber dealer for the entire output of Ihe mills. During the present high water in the river mil lions or feet ol hemlock, pine and some hardwood have passed here from some of the up-river points bound for Pittsburg and further south. Derrick.
