A very gratifying feature to the de
positors and stockholders of the Forest
County National Bank is shown in the

the last statement made to the Comptrol

There is promise that the harvest of
fatilities and Berious illness from mis
taking toadstools for mushrooms and
serviug them on the family table will be
fully up to the averago crop this season,
as we note by some ol our exchanges that
the trouble has already begun. People
vho have not a thorough knowledge of
the difference between the edible and the
poisonous varioties of this peculiar fun
gus should at loast have the good sense to
restrain the other members of the fam
ily from eating them until they them
selves have first tried and found out the
difference One sure rule is, if, after eat
ing a good gorge, you don't die, they are
mushrooms, tut if the undertaker's ser
vices are required thou they are toad
stools. Judge Lindsey of this district has de
cided in a case before the court in Warren
county th'at the fact of whether or not
children hayo had smallpox is to ln de
termined by a physician and nut by the
school board. Tho decision was ren
dered in the cae of Mr. and Mrs. Her
bert Cousins, residents of Warren, whose
children had been refused admittance to
the public schools by Superintendent
MacGowan some time ago. A certificate
showing tho children had smallpox was
presented from a physician who was
temporarily residing in Warren. The
board of education questioned the ve
racity of the certificate, and declined to
admit tho children. A long loal 1 attle
ensued an 1 a rt of mandamus was se
cured Tue-tdav compelling the board to
admit tho children to tho public schools.

The Einlenton News says "a large
audience was present at the Methodist
church last Sunday night to hear Rev. C.
C. Rumberger preach his farewell ser
mon, and those in atteniance were well
-repaid, for tho Reverand gentleman
preached a most helpful sermon. At the
close he spoke feelingly for the pastorate
here, and complimented the church mem
bership on the excellent work of the past
ysar, which was the most successful, from
a financial standpoint, at least, of auy
year in the history of the church. Rev.
Rumberger has been an earnest worker
and has made many friends by the fear
less manner in which he preached the
gospel and denounced all wrongdoing."
This is Scpteinbor, remarks au ex
change, and the weather has been rainy
and things have swollen. If you want to
come in and pay your subset iption come
anyhow. If the door flicks kick it off
tho hinges, keep coming till you get clsar
in. Don't stop and ask if the editor is
in; keep coming don't stop coining till
you meet some one, then pay up, pay
more than up ; pay ahead, take a receipt ;
any of us can write one, son. of. us can
write receipts with both hands at once in
the dark and count the money at tho
same timo. Don't be bashful about com
ing in, don't stop to knock, just come.
We can write receipts with our toes and
eulogies on the man, woman or child that
pays up this weather with ono hand and
make change with the other. Just try
us, we are cuter than the devil at making
change and writing receipts, but he can
do it It we are not in.
Jerome Weaver, the popular land
lord of the Maple Shade hotel at Tylers
burg, had a very narrow escapo from
death at Leeper station last Wednesday
afternoon. He was walking on the track
of (he narrow gauge railroad as the north
bouud passenger train was pulling Into
the station, but supposing that ho was on
the sido track , made no effort to get off
until his attention was attracted by some
of the bystanders. He attempted to es
cape but was caught by the "cow-catch-or"
and thrown upwards till his clothing
caught on the flag post of the engine,
and thus he was dragged several rods be
fore tho train could be brought toa stand
still. Dr. Beatty, the altouding physic
ian, found his collar bone broken and
othor severe bruises, Mr. Weaver was
able to be conveyed to bis home, but will
bo laid up lor some time. The call was a
close one, and should leach the victim a
lesson. Good landlords are scarce, Je
rome, and you must take extra care of
yourself.
David Lamb, formerly of Pleasant
ville and Bradford, and who has numer
ous acquaintances in Tionesta, was in Oil
City Saturday on business. The Derrick
says Mr. Lamb Came from Cuba, where
he has some large landed interests and
speaks most enthusiastically of the
country and the opportunities it pre
sents. He is located at Mayari, on the
north sido of the island, in the province
of Santiago. The climate is not so hot as
generally reported, the highest temper
ature recorded in a dozen years was 08
degrees, and the lowest 51 degrees. The
soil is adapted to corn as well as tobacco,
and stock raising is likewise proving n
profitable investment. Mr. Lamb has lit
tle patience with the Spanish inhabitants,
whom he describes as careless, shiftless
and not) -progressive. The hotels of the
country are wretched, and it is hard work
to do business with the natives. Under
American rule, he thinks, Cuba would
speedily become one of the richest coun
tries in the world, and Havana would in
creaso to a million inhabitants.

since died. They are Richard Cook and

the family which Dr. Morrow, Quarnn

ticipated in that family. The Burnett
Township School Board has organized a
a Board of health, and will endeavor to
establish stringent quarantine regula

last winter's scourge.
Fatal Wreck ou tlie P. It. It. at Jam-
ieson Station.
A serious wreck, causing the death of
two employees, occurred a short distance
above Jamieson station, ou the P. R. 11.,
about noon last Tursday. The work t:aiu
was going up the track at about a 25-uiile
rate of speed, the engine running rear
end foremost, when the tender left the
track, followed almost instantly by the
locomotive and five Hat cars loaded with
cinders. The tender was thrown to the
lelt side of the track, while the engine
plunged to the right and landed the full
length of itself from the track in a
meadow below. Five cars followed and
were dumped in a confused mass cross
wise of the track, tearing and twisting
the rails and ties into every conceivable
shape, many of tho wheels and trucks be
ing almost completely bu, led from view
in the road-bed. The train crew consisted
of conductor J. C. Patterson, engineer
Georgo A. Smith, aud fireman Verne
Jones. There were in all 11 cars and tlie
caboose. When the engine went over the
fireman was thrown out of the cab, light
ing a few feet from where it struck the
ground, and was found lying under a
pipeline which runs along the edge of the
field. He was dead when picked up,
having doubtless been instantly, killed.
Engineer Smith managed to extricate
himself from the wreck, aud ciawled
several feet away, where be was found
and couveyed to the home of Bert Thom
son, about a quarter of a mile below, and
medical aid was quickly summoned, lo
the persons of Drs. Bovard and Dunu,
who found his right leg broken between
tlie thigli and knoe, and the hip badly
bruised. He was given the best attention
possible under the circumstances and
brought to the Tionesta Station in the ca
boose, and In the afternoon was taken by
special train to Oil City where, at the
hospital he was placed in charge of Dr.
Coulter, one of the company's physicians.
At 2:15 o'clock Friday morning he died
from the effects of his injuries, which
were undoubtedly of an internal uaturo.
The body of the unfortunate fireman
was also conveyed to Oil City on the
same train and given iu chargo of au un
dertaker and prepared for burial, When
this operation was performed it was
found that there were no outward signs
of any injury capable of causing death.
There was a deep cut near the left knee
and the front of the legs from the knees
down to the feet were scalded. There
were no abrasions on the face, spine or
head. The ribs had not been broken,
and there was no injury to the spine that
was visible.
Tlie deceased was aged 25 years and
was the son of Mr, and Mrs. Lincoln
Jones, whose home is two miles west of
Tryouville, Crawford county. He bad
worked for the company in othor capaci
ties, but had only been employed as a
fireman for about 10 days.
Engineer Smith had been employed on
the P. R. R. as fireman for some years,
and had only recently been promoted
to engineer. He was aged about 31 years
and was born and reared in Oil City. He
leaves a wife and 4-year-old son. How
bo escaped instant death in ho frightful a
wreck is beyond comprehension.
Both victims of tie wreck were highly
esteemed for their industry aud steady
habits, and their funerals were largely
attended by sympathizing friends.
Trap Shooting1 at MnrieiiYlllo.
The Marienville gun club royally en
tertained their friendsof the Sheffield and
Tionesta gun clubs last Friday, tho oc
casion being a return visit from tlie Tio
nesta club in which the Sheffield club
was invited to participate. Seven of the
shooters Irom this place found it conve
nient to accept the Invitation from tholr
Marienville brothers, and they have no
regrets that thoy did so, for a plcasauter
occasion or warmer welcome could not
bo wished for than was accorded tliem
during their stay in the bustling little
city. The Sheilleld gentlemen, a genial
and wholesouled bunch, arrived on the
scene shortly bofore noon, and not long
alter dinner the three clubs were ranged
up for the friendly contest.
Tho teams were composed of seven men
each, and tbo birds were thrown fiom
two Expert traps, which acted very do
cenlly during the entire contest, which
lasted until after 4.00 o'clock. Sheffield
won out with a good lead; Tionesta be
ing second iu the list, with Marienville a
dangerously close third. It was au off
day for some of the Tionesta shooters,
and the team was saved from being tail-
endersonly by the excellent work of
those who had their "shooting eyes" with
them. Iu tlie scoro which follows there
are three extra men two from Sheffield
and one from Marienville, who shot
"merely to lill up the different squads,
and their scores are not counted in the
team ohoot. The score:

After tho team shoot had been pulled
off, a "sweepslako" was arranged, ten
birds to the man, with prizes divided
into four part". In this shoot Mr. Clark,
or the Tionesta team, won first by mak
ing a straight score, while three other of
the team were in the ties for the other
prizes. And so "a very pleasant event
ended, which we know was greatly en
joyed by all who participated therein.
Tlie shoot was attended by a largo
crowd of interested spectator, wliilo a
number ot ladies graced tho event bv
their presence, and seemed quito taken
With tho novelly of the i ccasioii.
E litor Sam. Pickens, of (lie Express,
act id very acceplably as referee, bavin
a "good eye" for the close decisions.
One of Marienville's royal citizens,
and who aMed as official score-keeper,
is T. C. McMasier. He is not a trap-
snooier, but when it comes to a matter of
entoi taming visitors and making them
feel as though they were right at home,
and "wanted to linger longer," the tal
ented T. C. can bit the bull's eye, or
smash a clay pigeon with the best of
them.
There is.some prospect that the three
teams will meet again before the season
closes on the gioiinds or our borne club.
Tha Tionesta team hopes this will hap
pen, and that they will have an oppor
tunity to return the splendid hospitality
shown them on this enjoyable occasion.
Ou this score Marienville has first hon
ors. A Society Event.
On Monday Sept. 7th fully 80 iuvited
guests assembled at the residence of Mrs.
M. Andrews, Kelletiville, Pa., and en
joyed a most ploasant evening, the occa
sion being Mrs. Andrews' birthday an
niversary. 200 invitations were issued,
but othor business and tlie inclement
state of tlie weather proved a hindrance
to the out-of-town people especially.
Early in the evening the guests began to
assemble in the tastefully arranged draw
ing rooms which had been put in rcadi
uess. The flower'', of which there were many
both elegant and beautiful were given by
Mrs. A. H. Downing, who enjoys a rare
tasto for such beauties, many admiring
their elegance.
Mrs. Andrews being a good entertainer
and hostess, having traveled extensively,
which gives her a natural insight toward
making one f.'el perfectly at homo at all
times, everyone present was looked alter
and made doubly welcome. Sho was as
sisted by bor clerk, Mr. A. C. Beeson,
who takes naturally to making one feel
perfectly at home.
Nuts, candies and tlie choicest fruits
of tho season were frequently passed, anil
were partaken of, while the finest of Ha
vanas were in waiting for all the gentle
men who were lovers of the wood.
Music was in waiting at the hall just
across the street and all who wished to
get themselves involved iu the giddy
whirl of the waltz, two-step or squaro
dance could do so to their hearts dosire.
Had tho weathor been tine the elegant
lawn would have been in use, but as it
was nothing occurred to mar a single
feature of a pleasant evening's event. At
9:30 all repaired to the Chamberlain hotel,
where covers had been laid for all of Mrs.
Andrews' guests. Of the repavt itself it is
useless to speak, as no whore in the
whole couuty does any one have a better
reputatiou lor furnishing tho required
material and au abundant amount, too,
than does the Chamberlain house. As a
cook and chef, Mrs. Chamberlain can
beat the Dutch.
The out of town guosts wore Mr. and
Mrs. G. F. Watson, Tionosta; Mr. and
Mrs. J. G. Richards, who reside at May
burg, but who are slopping for a timo at
Fox creek, aud J. B. Aird, of Warren.
Mrs. Andrews was the recipient of a
very elegaut silver tea set and a diamond
brooch. After enjoying themselves
hugely and wishing the hostess many
more such occasions all repaired to their
respective homes. AGukst,

Ice gorge, two cars placed upon the bayou
bridge, near the old slash dam, were car
ried into the water, almost out ot sight.
Supt. Leon Watson, of the S. A T. It. R.,
took one out about a week ago. A few

with a steel line and large tackle blocks.
Don't know who was the boss, but it was

Dear Sirs : You ask how many square
feet a gallon will cover. Depends on con
dition of building.
There is a great deal of lying on this
point. Tlie stock claim of lying paints is
800 square feet, two coats. It's a lie as a
rule. J5-7
Devoe covers 300 to 5011, our agents
think. We think 300 Uo low and 500
loo high; though doubtless they both
occur.
How much the other painls cover Is
equally doubtful ; wo guess 10(1 to -loo.
The truth is found in another compari
son. Devoe is all paint, true paint,
strong paint, and full-measure; the oth
ers in general are, at the best, diluted,
adulterated and short measure. They
cover according lo body and measure.
You can't paint with clay lime chalk
sand barytes water or air no body in
them. Go by Devoe.
Yours truiy,
F. W. Dkvok it Co.,
