The pasi week has boon a good one
for tho fBrmor in this section. The
weather lias been quite propitious for
gathering the harvest of hay and grain,
and a heap of both products has been gar
nered. It all comes out about right if we
will have patience. Away with St.
Swithen superstition, and keep a weather
eye on the reaper and the rake. Make
hay while the sun shines.
At this season of the year many of
our readers have friends visiting them
from other places, and these visitors, in
most casts, have other acquaintances here
who would be glad to learn of tbeir pres
ence. It is, therefore, a good idea to send
the personal notice to the Rkitiilican
ofllce for publication. Wo are always
glad to receive notification of the move
ments of our town and citizens.
A writer with some knowledge of
gardening says: Onions, tomatoes, pep
pers, egg-plant, squash and colery will
take from 110 to I.'iO days from planting
to mature. Carrots, cabbage, parsley and
summer squash will run up into the
nineties. Lettuce, cucumbois. swoet
corn, pras and spinach require from
sixty to sixty-five days, while radishes
are Ihe thickest of all and come on in
twenty to thirty days.' Cress 's ready
to eat in ten days.
In addition to tho usual oath of alle
giance the new oath which foreigners de
siring to become naturalized citizons of
United States will be compelled to take
hereafter contains this clause: "That I
do not advocate or teach the duty, neces
sity or propriety of the unlawful assault
ing or killing of any o ll'u-cr or ollicers,
either of specific individuals or of ollicers
generally of the government of the United
States or of anv other organized govern
ment, because of his or their ullliciai
character."'
II, A. Siggins, superintendent of the
Warren street railway, together with the
conductors and motormcn in charge of
the two cars jhat met in a collision on
tho 4th of July ami killed Archer Striker,
were held by Judge Lindsey in the sum
of JoOO each to answer to the chaige of
manslaughter at the next term ol court
in Warren county. Tho coroner's jury
had charged tho company with criminal
carelessness, mid tin? lather of thn un-
fortunato young man preferred tho
charge- under which tho ollicials aro
held. .
R. L. Buzard, a former prominent
citizen of Rrockway ville, Jefferson
county, died on Tuesday of last week
near Los Angeles, Cal , whither he had
removtd some time ago hoping the cli
mate would prove boneticial to his health,
which had become impaiied. The de
ceased was well known in this county,
where he was connected with the firm of
Collins, Watson A Co., at Golinza. Mr.
Buzard was aged about 65 years.
E. E. Fleming, superintendent of the
Homestead and National leases in Har
mony tow nship, has been hustling things
since the fierce forest tires of last May,
when these leases were entirely swept
over by Are, and has them in good pump
ing condition agaiu, starting the second
new power this week. The new gas en
gines and powers are set in solid cement
foundations and the floors of t'.e power
houses are of cement, while the buildings
are of corrugated steel and it will be a
pretty hard niattar to burn them again.
The Commissioners of Warren county
are about to begin extensive repairs and
alterations on the jail of that county, and
while the work is going on they will de
posit their prisoners in the jail at Tio
nesla, arrangements to this effect having
been made with the Commissioners and
Sherifl'of this county. This will give
Sheriff Noblit a little extra business for
which he will perhaps be duly thauklul,
and the monotony of the dullness that
has been thick enough to cut with a knife
thus far during his encumbency of the
Sheriffs ofllce, will be in a measure
brokeu. lies ides the prisoners will be in
a secure place.
Tionesta Is now as big as any of 'em,
the first horseless machine owned by a
citizen of Ihe city having touched us dur
ing the past week. E. W. Bowman of
the Citizens National bank Is the propri
etor of the new car, it being the Oldsino
bile won at the recent Warren carnival,
and purchased by Mr. B. Several drivers
have handled the critter, or tried to, since
its advent in the town, and have gotten a
pretty fair rate ol speed out of it, but the
maximum has not been roached,and there
have been no accidents to record up to
this writing. The machine is a neat affair
and runs with less racket than most ol
those usually met with.
Consistency gets some rude jolts in
connection with the telephone business.
A story is told of a woman, who, wishing
to visit a neighbor, pulled the baby'B crib
up in front of tho telephone, opened the
receiver, and told central if the baby be
gan to cry to call ber up at the neighbor's.
Her action was just about on a par with
that of the girl who never hesitates to
step into a neighbor's house, ask for the
use of the telephone, then call up some
person who has a 'phone in another part
of the town, and ask the party who ans
wers to step across the street and call a
girl friend to the 'phone in oidor that she
may ask If she Is going to the picnic next
wock, Blizzard.
An experiment in educational econ
omy that has the charm of novelty for
this portion of tho State will be tried the
coming school year by the borough of
1'leasantville and tho townships of Al
legheny and Oilcreek, that of Jointly sup
porting a high school, says the Doriick,
Last year the high school was supported
by Oilcreek township and Pler.santville,
each furnishing about fifteen pupils, and
tho exponse was divided according to the
number of pupils earn supplied. The ar
rangement was v3ry satisfactory, and
this year Allegheny township wants to
be added. The matter has been thorough
ly discussed by representatives from all
three, school districts and there is no
doubt but that the experiment will be
tried tho coming school year,
"Teanut Jab" is the suggostive name
of a new game which is said to be highly
successful as a source of merriment and
good fellowship. The game is played on
small card tables, and each pairot guests
is provided with a dish of water, in which
a dozen peanuts float. To each player
is given a hat-pin, and the party is in
structed to "jab" the peanuts that is, to
transfix them with the hat-pin. to the in
tent that they may be landed without be
ing touched with the fingers. The game
is played progressively, and tho nuts
which have been landed take tho place of
scoro cards, says an exchange. We don't
know that we exactly catch onto tho Idea,
but would judge that it must be big busi
ness for people of any considerable sense
-Some surprises are In store for com
municants of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the new order of public wor
ship which has just been prepared by a
oint commission of that church and the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, says
a dispatch. This commissi n met re
cently in Ocean Grove, N. J. Two new
features of tho new order have a deci
dedly Protestant Episcopal savor. The
prefatory paragraph reads : "Let all our
services begin exactly at the hour appoint
ed ami let all our people knoel in silent
prayer on entering the sanctuary." The
concluding paragraph is : "Let all our
people be exhorted to kneel in prayer,
keeping their faces, toward Clie minis
ters." Both of these costumes are in
established use in the Protestant Episco
pal Church. To a considerable extent the
former is followed in tho Methodist Epis
copal Church but it has never been spe
cifically urged before. The socond recom
mendaiion is a decided Innovation, how
ever. It has always been the custom in
the church to kneel during prayer, but
the habit has been to turn completely
around and kueel facing the pew oc
cupied. All residents of Harmony, Hickory,
Kingsley, Green and Tionesta townships
who wish to purchase the official and au
thorized "Life of Pope Loo XIII," pre
pared and written by the special com
mand of tho venerable Pontiff, by Rt.
Rev. Bernard O'Kollly, I). D., D. Lit.,
can do so by sending their names and
prices of binding desired to Miss Nannie
Morrow, Tionesta, Pa., not later than the
istli of August. The completed book
will be a volume of S'tX) pages, printed on
lino paper, clear type, with over KM) illus
trations by special artist ami photograph
ers. The introduction has been written
by Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, who
gives the work his highest commenda
tion. The volume is otlicially approved
by Right Rev. Monsignor Laughlin and
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, and
is cheerfully commended to the reading
public by Rev. Josesh B. Keegan, rector
of St. Mary's church, Crown, Pa. A
beautiful twelve color portrait of Leo
XIII, size 10xl:i inches, is presented free
of chargo with this book whose prices
range from $.50 to $7.i0.

Susio, the beloved wile of Jacob L.
Klinestiver, of Church Hill, died on
Tuesday, July 21, HHUI, alter a long, ling
ering illness of consumption.
Susnn Almira Allison was the daugh

Pa., thus hor age was 4:! years, 8 months,
and 13 days, Sho was niarriod to Jacob
L. Klinestiver Jan, 14, 18S8.
Susie gave her heart to God, when
about 15 years old, and all through life
sho has been a faithful follower of the
blessed Lord. Sho loved her Sunday
school and tomperance work and to these
sho devoted her time as much as hor
health would permit. During the
last few years of her life she has been a
constant sufferer, but bore her suffering
without complaint. She was of a kind,
unselfish disposition, her care always
being for those about her more than for
herself. She was loved by all who knew
her. She assured her friends that she
was not afraid to meet her Master, in
whom she trusted. As the ond drow
near she asked those about her losing,
and although so weak, she joined in the
singing. After that she fell asleep to
waken on the other shore
Susio leaves a kind aud affectionate
husband, three sons, Morton G., Allison
E, and Glenn I., lather, brother and two
sisters, besides a host of friends to mourn
her loss.

Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low ;
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our songs shall know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of I i to is llpdj
Then, in heaven, with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
In connection with the above Ihestriek

A I5URULAIU0US FARCE.
An Attempt to Blow Onea an Empty
Safe Proves a Failure.
Some time during last Wednesday
night an attempt was made to blow open
the safe In Sheriff Noblit's office in the
court house. When the sheriff entered
his office on Thursday morning he found
matters in a topsy-turvy condition, and
ho could scarcely believo his eyes when
ho made the discovery that an attempt
had been made to burglarize his safe.
The combination nob had been battered
off' and a quantity of nitro-glycerine had
been poured into the receptacle thus left,
but the operators had evidently neglected
to tamp tho stuff and much of the explo
sive had run out on the floor. A piece of
fuse was left in the knob bole and had
partially burned up, but from some cause
had failed to ignite or explode theglyccr
inc. In this condition tho burglars left
their precarious job. Some of the tools
and oi her materials used were left behind.
A sledge hammer, brace aud some bits
wero tho property of Hepler A Hopkins
ami had been taken from their tank shop
across tho river. From E. E. Fleming's
barn on River St., a quantity of nitro
glycerine, some drills, fuse and a horse
blanket had' been stolen and these
were found in tho office, Mr, Fleming
has use for these articles in his lease
work, but it was not generally known
that ho kept them in bis barn, and the
familiarity of tho burglars with these
facts leads to tho suspiciou that local tal
ent bad something to do with the burg
larious attcuipt. At least in giving
pointers.
What any thief would expect to get
from a sheriff's sale in these piping Re
publican times is the greatest mystery of
all, and it is the pretty general opinion
that the perpetrators thought they wore
burglarizing the sale in the treasurer's
ofllce, and if local talent was implicated
they had given the operators the wrong
tip as to where the latter was located in
the building. At any rate they secured
nothing, and would not have found a
penny if their attempt to get the safe
open l ad been successful. It is thought
there was at least a half pint of glycerine
used in the crevices of the sale, and for a
day or so after 'here was considerable,
speculation as to how the safe was to be
opened, as no one cared to monkey much
with it with so much of the dangerous
fluid sticking to it. An ex-"shooter"
from Tidioute happened along on Friday
and took the contract of opening the safe,
and had hi money earned in a few hours.
Tho damage to the safe will amount to
about $50,
As yet there is no clue to the burglars,
but thoy left evidences that may locate
them sooner or later, and it is altogether
likely some people not far from town are
having an uneasy time of it these days.

Ed. Repuhlicmi:
Last week 1 had occasion to visit your
pretty town and drove down Irom Hick
ory. I like to do trading with your mer
chants but it is too tedious and perilous a
trip to undertake unless ono has urgent
business. The road from Hickory bridge
to the Hopkins farm is tough. From the
Hopkins farm to Tionesta it is fairly goodj
and would bo belter if the sloun were
picked from tho road. Tho good people
of Tionosta should have tho road put In
sliapo from tho Hickory bridgo to the
Hopkins place because people would
drive to Tionesta to do trading and as a
pleasure trip, and further, if tho commis
sioners have no funds to make repairs it
would pay the Tionesta merchants to see
that this road is repaired.
For the last year the "narrows" has
been in a deplorajlo condition. It takes
some money but it pays to keep tho road
in better order than that road was last
week and last year. Wo get bumps
enough in this world without being jolted
every 50 feet on the public highw ay while
traveling on a road that should be one of
the prettiest and smoothest in the county.
Suppose your merchants got together,
appoint a conunitten of six men to go
over the road aud look into tho matter
and make a written report to bo pre
sented to these merchants one week later.
I do not know who the pathmastors are
or who tho commissioners aro, lint I do
know the roads from tho Hickory bridge
to tho Hopkins farm will stand some re

Thompson's Barosma, Kidney and Liver Cure
Is not only performing wonderful cures, as the following statements
will prove, but all the cures have been permanent, there being no re
turn of the disease or any of the symptoms after a lapse of many years.
K. IC. TiloMI'soN' & Son, Titusville, l'a.: Ie:ir Sirs Several years ago I was taken
with kidney and bladder disease, nnd siill'isrcd with terrible pains, besides losing con
trol ol' the action of my kidneys and bladder. A number of doctoia hud my case nt
different times, but I received no benelit, and was given up as incurable and fully ex
pected death would relieve my suflerings. A friend recommended liAKOSMA nnd I
began taking it. At first I could see little change, but after taking about six bottles,
1 began to get better. 1 continued to use it and today tun entirely cured. I am an
old resident of this county and am well known in this section, nnd consider myself a
walking advertisement for your TKUI.Y WON' OKI! KIT, medicine, BAROSMA.
Yours respectfully, NATHAN' lil'KDICK, West Hickory, Pn.
The first bottle did me so much good that I bought the second nnd it cured me of
female weakness, with which I had been troubled more than two years. I gained iu
dtreugtu and nosh and have been well ever since. This was six years ns.
