Bishop Fallo.vs says that the church
social Is a matrimonial agency In dis
guise. 'We are not quite sure whether
this Is said in approval or condemnation
ofthe Institution. Certainly if young
men and maidens get happily mated at

.contingent marriago fees it ought not to
be regarded as a bad thing. Kx.
A teacher in one of the public schools
Of Indianapolis recently in a desire to
tost the powers of composition existing
in a class of eight-year-olds, requested
that three sentences be writton, each to
contain one of the three words, "bees,"
"boys." and "bear." A small girl labor
iously con jocled the following sentence:
"Roys bees bare when they go in swim

Several largo delegations of teachors
from this end of tho line were early on
the way Monday morning to the insti
tute at Marlenville. It so happens that
the roads are In a rather bad condition at
this time of year, but tho plucky peda
gogues are not easily dismayed by a lit
tle bad weather, and aro doubtless enjoy
ing tho outing in a good degree.
Our townsman, James Canflold, is at
tho head of a company that lias taken a
lease of nearly 300 hundred acres in Vic
tory and Sandycreek townships, Venan
go county, and will proceed to operate
the same without delay. The lease is
adjacent to some good territory, and it Is
bolieved the venture will turn out all
right, all of which would bfl gratifying to
Jim's friends hereabouts.
This is the time ofthe year that mer
chants are stocking up for the winter's
trade, and purchasers are looking around
for the best bargains obtainable. A word
to the buyer, if you will look over the
"ads" in this paper it will be of material
benefit to you. All of our advertisers
are strictly reliable and carry nothing lu
their line but the best in tho market at
the lowest possible prices.
Although there has been no lang
uishing in society alfalrs in this commu
nity during the past season that we have
observed, yet it in ight not be out of place,
perhaps to suggest an old fashioned corn
bunking boe to yary tho monotony. A
function of this sort, with pumpkin pie
accompaniment, would bring back recol
lections of ye olden time, besides toach
Ing4he young people tty) art of real fun
making as it used to be.
H.C. Allen, for upward of twenty
years city passenger and ticket agent for
the Nickie Plate railroad at Krie, has re
signed his position. Mr. Allen is well
known In this county, baying booked
many passengers from this section on his
popular excursions to the far west, and
his retirement will be generally regretted
by those who have been the recipients of
his uniform courtesy. He is succeeded
by A. C. Showalter, of Dunkirk.
The Lady Maccabees of this place
gave a tine brnquet at the home of Mrs.
). T. Anderson last Wednesday evening,
in honor of a class of new members that
had recently united with the Tent. An
elegant time was had, with many good
tilings to eat. The entertainment con
sisted of gamos, social chat, mid general
merry-making until the "wee small
hours" gave warning that it was time
for tho happy throng to disporse.
The Rev. R. W. Illingworth will be
publicly installed as pastor of the Pres
byterian church In Tionesta on Thursday
evening next at 7:30. Rev. 8. F.Marks
of Tidioute will preach the sermon; Rev,
H. F. Rarseman ot Kdenburg will charge
the people, and Rev. Dr. Conway of
Hrookville will preside and propound
the constitutional questions. The publix
is invited to attend tho Installation exer
cises and hear the addresses which will
be delivered on the occasion.
A weather sharp predicts an open
winter and says Christmas will, be as
warm as any day this week has been,
lie liases his opinion on the fact that
witch hazel is In blossom, which be
claimed to be an iufallable sign. Time
alone will determine this. Ex. Yes,
then there are the hornets' nests, which
are built high up ou the branches of sap
lings, a dead sure sign of a mild winter.
Rut then there is the goose bone to be
reckoned with, and the corn husk too.by-Iho-way.
We'll all know more about it
along sometime next April.
We wonder if all our Republican
friends reali.e that an eloctlnn will take
place in this great big prosperous State
in less than two weeks from this day?
Whether they have thought much about
it or not it is a fact nevertheless, and it is
important that they take a Berious
thought over the matter, to the end that
every one so shapes bis affairs as to get
out and cast a ballot. There has been no
great fuss about the election this year,
and it Is just as woll thai there hasn't
been, but that doesn't lessen a man's
duty to his party in tho least. Don't for
get to vote.
The Blizzard advocates the enact
ment of a curfew ordinance for Oil City.
There is no question about such a law
boing a good Thing for any community
in which children are allowed the free
dom of the streets at all hours of the
night. In Tionesta Ihe ordinance has
been in force for four or five years, and
we don't believe any parent or citizen
would care to see it abrogated. After the
ringing of tho bell there is comparative
quiet, and the sightlf a boy or girl un
der sixteen years of age, unattended by
some older member of the family", is al
most unheard of. Tho curfew properly
enforced is all right.
Tho gaming season was auspiciously
opened on the loth ins'., about half the
population of the town, more or less,
turning out with guns, dogs, and the at
tendant concomitants, but the amount of
game brought In can hardly be snid to
have been commensurate with the. ex
pense attending the occasion. Ou the
day following tho opetiing our worthy
Sheriff hied himself to the woods for a
few hours, and came back with live nice
grouse, plump and lat, dangling at bis
belt. Mr. Noblit had no dog, was not ac
quuinted with the lay of the ground, and
makes no claim to any particular ex
pertness with a shot gun. Rut such is
luck.
The main excitement In the West
End Is over a school boy who, his parents,
claim, was-unjuustly and wronglully
punished being tied to a chair. The kid's
relatives don't sing, "Blest be the tie that
binds," very heartily. But? after the
smoke has cleared it will be found prob
ably, that the pupil wasn't punished
enough. The old-fashioned rule Is best.
When a boy is punished in school give
him another at home. We have a good
deal of sympathy for a woman who is
trying to govern a lot or untamed sav
ages and teaching them a little sense,
when they run wild at home and aro
sent to school mainly to get them out of
the way. Varren Mail.
The following from the Philadelphia
North American will bo of Interest to
dealers hereabouts: "In reference to an
order issued to cigar dealers Oct. let, In
which they were told that to fully com
ply with the intornal revenue laws they
must either break up empty cigar boxes
or wash olf tho revenue stamps. Inter
nal Revenue collector McCoach yester
day received a ruling from United States
In'onia! Revenue Commissioner Yerkes
in which he says that to csncel the stamp
on empty cigar boxes the stamp must be
scratched on three sides. Hereto lot e it
has been the custom when a box was
i mpty of the cigars to simply snatch the
t tamp across the top of the box,"
At Klttaunlug on Tuesday afternoon
of last week the annual meeting of the
Allegheny River Boatmen's Association
was held with a large attendance. Bur
gess Clare delivered the address of wel
come and A. J. lvoiy of Ford City re

elected: President, A. O. MahafTy, of
Tareutuui; First Vice President, W. K.
Hudson; Second Vico Prosident, C. H.

ed in which the boatmen approved the
actions of the Allegheny River Improve
ment Association, and commended the
raising of all bridges along the river, and
urged that the slack-watering bo con
tinued. The. matter of establishing a
funoral fund was continued until the
U'jxt meeting. Tarentiim was the place1
ailccted for hold inp- the session lu Oc

May Confess.
A dsipatch from Mayyille states that
Dr. Chapln, charged with a criminal op
eration on the person of Miss Iva Confer,
who died at Findley Lake last week, is
expected to make a full confession and
commend himself to tho mercy ofthe
court. It is claimed that Mrs. Myron C.
Gallup, proprietress of the boarding
bouse where Miss Confer had rooms, has
confessed to the oporation and stated that
it was .performed in her presence. She
says that Miss Confer failed to rally and
died almost Immediately. Titusville

A Pleasant Occasion.
Tho Ladies of Hickory Hive gave a
banquet on Satuiday evening last, to
which the Ladies ot Nebraska Hive,
thoir Sir Knights and SA'ect hearts were
invited. The invitation was graciously
accepted and,, remembering the good
time we had just one year ago last Sat
urday night, forty-one of us prepared
for the occasion, arranging for a special
train on the S. & T. railroad to Ross Run,
and from thence were taken over the
mountain by one of Mr. Wheeler's loco
motives attached to oue ofthe "side door
palaces," arriving ht Hickory iu good
time, where wo were royally .entertained.
We expected some sort of surprise, and
wore uot d isappointed when we arrived
at the hall. After a 'general handshak
ing the assembly was called to order by
the Commander. Remarks were called
for from Commander Goodwin of Ne
braska, who spoke in the interest of the
order, after which Sir Knight J. M. Fox
of the visiting delegation was called on,
who spoke encouragiugly of the growth'
of the order at his home. He said be
had the most of bis speech in his bat, and
had lost the bat ou the way over. Sir
Knights Gayley, Haugh and hunter also
responded to calls for remarks, aftT
which Sir Knight Gorman of Hickory
was called ou and responded with a nice
speech. We were then escorted to the
dining room, where we found the tables
groaning under the weight of good
things, which were stowed away with a
relish. After visiting a short time the
train was ordered out and we started
back over tho uiouutain.
The Ladies and Sir Kuights, ono and
all, declare they never had a pleasanter
time, and all were loud in their praise of
the Sir Knights and Lady Hoi s of Hick
ory. We wish also to thank the superin
tendents and train men of the two rail
roads lor their kindness. One ok Them.

The question has been asked In what
way are Chamherlain'sStomach and Liv
er Tablets superior to the ordinary 'ca
ihartic and liver pills? Our answer is
They are easier and more pleasant to
take and their ell'ect is so gentle and so
agreeable that one hardly realizes that it
is produced by a medicine. Then they
not only move tho iiowels but improve
tno appetite and aid the digestion. For

RECENT DEATHS.
CnARLES I.EO.N CLARK.
Charles Leon Clark, only son of Jo
seph and Sadie Hopkins Clark, was born
May 30, 1889, and died October 18, 1003.
Again the mystic curtain has receeded
and another of our dear friends has
solved Ihe mystery. The deep sense of
loss makes a sorrow heavy to be borne.
The heait is sad, and the world seems
darker as we assume the duties of life.
But in the darkest hour the star of hope
shines brightest, and
" 'Tis sweet, as year by year we lose
Friends out of sight, to muse
How grows in Paradise our store,"
for Leon has entered Into rost. Fourteen
brief years of li lb and love and beauty
were all that were noeded to leavo a
precions memory. And surely, as we
remember that "to live In hearts weleave
behind is not to die," the influence ofthe
young life that has so recently left us,
will linger, like the sweet fragrance of
the rose, as long as the petals of memory
remain with ail who knew our young
friend.
No one knew Leon but to love and
honor and respect the little gentleman.
No one was jealous of another's affection
for biui, for he was too unselfish and
loviug in bis disposition to antagonize a
rivalry. It falls to the lot of few to bo so
rich In friendship as was Leon. It
seemed that everybody loved him as we
saw the multitudes pause before the bier
and wipe away the tears of sorrow that
stole down the cheek. His friends were
legion, and were fouud among all classes
and conditions of mankind, all of whom
had some word to speak ot kindness
shown. His young life was most exem
plary, not only in the home, but in the
school, on the play-ground and in ail the
social relations of life. The secret f this
beauty was bis supreme trust in God. It
helped bitn to bear the intense suffering
of bis last illness with the patience and
fortitude of a true Christian soldier.
When bis suffering had passed beyond
the skill of his physicians, his mother
(whose mission as such has beeu all that
implies the holy name of mother) direct
ed him to the Great Physician as the
only one who could help bim, to whom
he replied, "I am, mamma, I am trust
ing the dear Jesus, with all my boart,
with all my soul, wi.h all my strength
aud with all my mind." And with this
beautiful testimony he "fell asleep."
His "going home" is a heavy loss to
his parents, and we do not exaggerate
when wo say to the entire neighborhood,
He is missed in the church, the Sabbath
school and the Christian Endeavor So
ciety whose services be nevor missed
when well and strong. And the many
beautiful lioral offerings that almost
filled the room in which he lay in state
on Sabbath last, bore a silent testimony
to the love and worth ot bis young life.
Funeral services were held at the
house on Sabbath afternoon at 2 o'clock,
and were beautifully conducted by Rev.
Mr. Illingworth of the Presbyterian
cuurch, assisted by Rev. Mr. Felt. Mr.
Illingworth spoke feelingly of the court
esy and manliness of the boy who had
won a place in tho hearts of all who

five o'clock ou Monday morning of this
week, as a result of an attack of appendi
citis. Three weeks ago last Saturday the
boy's sister, Miss Alico Stitzinger, ma
tron of the hospital, took him to Dun
kirk, where an operation was performed.
He teemed to be recovering nicely from
bis trouble when other complications set
in which were beyond the power of med
ical skill to alleviate, and at the hour
mentionod death ended the little fellow's
sufferings. The body was brought here
yesterday morning aud funeral services
were held at the home of bis elder broth
er, R. C. Stitzinger, in the alternoon,
conducted by Rev. O. H. Nickie, the re

cemetery. During his long and seyeie
illness Johnnie bore his great suffering
with wonderful patience and fortitude,
scarcely ever murmuring when-his pain
seemed almost unbearable. A sorrow

brothers and six sisters, are loft to
mourn tho loss of a loving son and
brother.
