The gas well is a good one and more wells will brobably be drilled on the lease. Rev. L. E.

Write F. A. Keller, Sec'y, for any Information de sired, tf It is real music to once more hear the factory whistle doing its regular blowing. The new company is getting its machin ery in position as fast as possible, and ex pects in a short time to be running full banded, which means that upward of 00 wen will be steadily employed. Alieady there are a dozen or til teen strangers en gaged, and as fast as the machinery can be placed there will be others employed. A Western teacher, Instructing a class in composition, said: "Do not attempt any flights of fancy ! be yourselves and write what is in vou." The following day a bright pupil handed in tbe follow ing: "We should not attempt any flites of fancy, rite what is in us. In mo there is my stomach, lungs, heart', liver, two apples, one 'piece of mince pie, three slicks of candy, a hull lot of peanuts and in.lkdliiner." Benjamin Mealy, of the township, met with a painful and serious accident while loading telegraph polei on his wagon near Lickingville last Friday. One of tbe polos slipped off the load and struck hlin on the leg, breaking both bones of that member near the ankle. The Injury will doubtless lay him up a greater portion of the wiuter. Mary bad a little lamb, it followed her to church, and there it stood outside, like an owl upon a perch. "Why don't tbe little lamb come InT" tbe watchful people cried. Wby, Mary told the silly thing to wait for bar outside. So you see, each gentle maiden, you may one aud all still find, some sbeepbead waiting near the door, If you admire that kind. Ex. Sheriff-elect Charles R. Bowman, of Clarion county, led his party tickatatthe recent election In that county by 149 more majority than the State ticket, and had many more votes than any other candidate on bis ticket. It is gaitingso that the Democrats of that county are obligod to put their most pop ular men on the ticket in order to hold any majority at all ovor tbe Republicans. The rains of the forepart of the week have had tbe effect to bring tbe creek and river up to a good rafting stage, thus al lowing our lumbermen to get all of their stuff off for the lower market, which In cludes many tleots of boats and barges from Nebraska and up-river points. The prospec's are much better for a safe run to Pittsburg than a year ago, when a number of fleets of bn rites were frozen in between here and Ibe Smoky City. Daniel Cropp, of Cropp Hill, met w ltd an accident which wilt lay him up for some time and may cripple blm per manently. He was taking out ties up near the county borne last Friday, when by a misstroke of bis ax be cut a gash in tlie great toe of bis left foot extending from Ihe first Joint back into and sever ing the ball of the toe. His physician, Dr. Dunn, thinks tbe toe will bo perma nently atifl'enod, and may have to be am putated entirely, Tom. Oallaghor, with three other prisoners, escaped from fhe Columbus, Ohio, penitentiary last Saturday night. His father is a resident or Oil City. Gal lagher was sent up for 50 years from Ely rla, Ohio, for attempting to rob tbree aged brothers, one of whom freed him self and with a shot gun killed two of the gang aud wounded Gallagher and an other cf the robbers. He Is a brother-in-law of Thomas McMahon, who is doing time In Allegheny for robbing Hugh Milos near Fagundus about a year ago. Every string of tools In tbe vicinity of Pleavantville, as well as In other parts of the local field, is running. Tbe pleas ant weather of the late summer and fall, together with the fancy price received for petroleum, has made operators keeuly alive to the wisdom of making the most possible out of their leases. A prominont resident of Pleasantville yesterday of fered the prediction that if oil goes to f2 people of that tielghbornnod will be drill ing for one-half barrel wells. Titusville Herald. About tbe same in this latitude. In tbe Supreme Court, at Pittsburg, Wednesday, tbe appeal of Harvey M. Zelletrow, from tbe Armstrong county court, for a new trial was refused and an order made to carry the finding of fhe lower court Into execution, .ellefrow, who killed bis wl'e at Brady's Bend, last January, was found guilty of murder In the first deitree, and his attorneys took an appeal based on irregularities in draw ing the Jury, improper handling of the jury and insanity. Tbe Governor will now fix a date for bis execution. Pursuant to its usual custom, the Pennsylvania Railroad company will is sue clerical orders for tbe year 1904 to ordained clergymen having regular charge of churches located on or near its lines. C'loffymon desiring such orders should make individual application for same on blanks furnished by tbe com pany through its agents. Applications should be sent to Ihe general office of tbe company, as soon as possible, in no case earlier than December 19, so that orders may be mailed by December 81 to all clergymen entitled to receive them. It Mildred, the little 6 -year-old daugh ter of John Saylor, who lives at the lower end of town, was quite severely injured in an accident that might have resulted fatally, last Saturday. She was at play in tbe street with a little companion and did not observe tbe approach of a buggy driven by a couple of ladies, and wben nearly opposite tbem the little Say lor child ran directly in front of tho vehicle. She was knocked down and one of the wheels ran over her bead, bruising and cutting ber face and bead severely, and requiring the attention of a physician. Her escape from Instant death is some what miraculous, -The coroner's jury in the inquest held to inquire into the death of Millis Kings ley, of Franklin, brought In the follow ing verdict last Friday: "We find that Millis D. Klngsley came to bis death by the rupture of a blood vessel in the bead causing a blood clot on tbo brain, said fupture being caused by overexertion while exgaged in a personal encounter between tbe hours of 11 and 12 o'clock p. m., Friday Noy. 6, 1903, at Centennial club room, Lamberton block, 13tb street, Franklin, Pa., with a party whom we believe to have been one Clarence C, Doolittle." That lets everybody down easy, even the man who lost bis life, and It don't hurt Mr. Doolittle very much either. But It leaves the public some what in doubt as to wby so many spec tators would pay a big admission fee lo see two men engage in a "personal en counter." George Jennings, of Gultonville, Is an occasional visitor to tbis place, and some of our boys have a babit of "nag ging" bim. Asa result of this sort of tormenting some Marienville boys bad some damages to pay, and it would be well for tbe kids here to let George severely alone wben be comes to town: Tbe Express says: A broken glass in the front of tbe post office on Sat urday night is the result of some of our young bloods teasing George Jennings into a rage, George retaliating by throw lug stones one of which demolished the front in said building. George and bis horse, "Lark" were In town and the boys thought they would have some fun, with tbe above result. We understand there were same loud noises, the boys finally settling for same by chipping in. This kind of sport does not pay in the long run. Some time, some one may pay dearly for tbeir wbisilo. Dr. J. W. Morrow received the sad Intelligence last Friday evening that his step-mother, Mrs. S. rah ulllesple Mor row, bad died on the morning of the 12tb at her late residence In At wood, Arm strong county, Mrs. Morrow, who was a daughter of Samuel and Nancy (Graham) Gillespie, was born near Banbridge, County Down, Irelaud, July 2, 1828. In 1850, she, with her sister, Margaret, and cousin, Thomas Gillespie, came to Penn sylvan ia, and on September 28, 1872, was married to William Morrow, who died on April 1, 1873. Mrs. Morrow was a highly respected, Intelligent woman and was a member of tbe United Presbyter ian church.

Main, Ti tusville, asks us to slate that tbe Oak- dale club of that city will play any foot ball team whose average weight is not over 145 pounds, tbelrs being 13.'tJ. We cheerfully give tbe information, but have some doubts about the Titusville team getting a game from this place as we have the first football game yet to see In Tio nesta, although we have no doubt our athletes could scrape together enough material to "do" most anything from any oftbe surrounding towns barring tbe all-stars of Franklin, perhaps and if the boys have a mind to lake up tbe chal lenge of these frisky Tltusvillians we'll be willing to donate the advertising to make Ibe thing a success. While returning from a trip in the country with one of Canfield's livery rigs nt a late hour on Tuesday night of last week, Charles Hunter had quite an ex citing experience at the upper end of Old town flats. The night was quite dark, and while the horses were jogging along at a fair rate some one sprang from tbe side of the road and grabbed one of tbe horses by the reins and tried to stop the team. Charlie gave tbe horse a cut with the whip and tbe would-be highwayman was thrown some distance. About the time the fellow bad time lo gather bim self up Charlie distinctly beard two shots fired, but if pointed at bim tbey went wide ol Ihe mark, for no evidence of bul let holes were found about tbe rig wben be got into the barn here. Here's the difleience: If an editor makes a mistake he baa to appologize for it, but if a dector makes one he buries it. If tbe editor makes one there is a lawsuit, swearing and a smell of sulphur, but if the doctor makes one there is a funeral, cut flowers and a smell of varnlsb. The doctor can use a word a yard long with out knowing what it means, but if the editor uses it be has to spell it. If tbo doctor goes to see another man's wife be charges for tbe visit, but if tbe editor goes to see another man's wife be gets a charge of buckshot. Any old medical college can make a doctor, but ain't mske an editor. He has to be born. When a doc tor gets drunk It's a case of overcome by beat, and if he dies it is heart trouble; wben an editor gets drunk it's a case of too much booze, and if be dies it's a case of delerlnm tremens. Last- Friday Constable Maxwell picked up three tramps on the West Side and brought them before 'Squire Setley on a charge of vagrancy. To of them were easily found guilty, but tbe third proved bis innocense by producing a wad of "filthy lucre" amounting to the net sum of f 1.80, and be was discharged, tbe remaining two being sentenced to a 30 day sojourn in tbe county bastile. Had the 'Squire thought lo give them thirty minutes to shake tbe borough mud from off their sandals be would have probably bit tbe nail more squarely on tbe bead, but as be didn't tbe county commission ers asked the court to"give them a walk" which it did, and the hobos wore not long in taking the hint. The average tramp figures that he has struck a real soiree wben he falls Into a few days' boarding with the high sheriff of a county. The trouble caused tbe spectators and others by tbe recent fatal boxing contest at Franklin, has resulted in people look ing up the state law In the matter of prizo fights. It is as follows: "Whosoever engage or participate in any prize fight within this Commonwealth, or any fight or pugilistic contest, on tho result of which any money or valuable thing is bet or wagered, shall be guilty of a mis demeanor, and on conviction thereof, shall be fined in a sum not exceeding 11.000 and Imprisonment in the peniten tiary or the jail of the proper county, for a period not exceeding two ears; and every person bein; present at such fight, or laying any bet or wager on tbe result thereof, whether precentor not, shall be considered a participant (herein, and as giving encouragement thereto, and may, at the discretion of the court, be punished in a liko manner." November Court, Tne November term of court convened in tbe court house at 1 p. in., on Monday with a full bench of judges present, Judge Lindsey presiding. Tbe cases brought under tbe Pure Food law were continued upon motion ol the District Attorney, as was also tha case of Connely vs. Landers & WyniHii, the latter at cost of defendant. Tbe grand jury was empannelled, in structed and sworn, and made its report which was to the effect that some slight repairs were needed in Ihe jail, al so that tbe eavespoutlng on the court house was in need of repairs. No bills were submitted to the jury.of which Levi Reynolds, of Barnett township, was the foreman. The county constables made their re turns in one of which tbe existence of a gambling house in Marienville was charged. Application was made for a road iu Ti- onqsta township, near Cbauncey run, also for a road iu Hickory township, near the Whig Hill road, and the following viewers weer appointed by the court: On the first road.

JUL jm A FREE game inside each package of Lion Coffee 60 different games. A Room lor President. Presidont, tbe little town up the river, is thought to be on the eve of quite a boom, iu consequence of the activity which is expected to accompany the re moval of the timber Iroin tbe extensive E. E. Clapp tract of laud, recently pur chased from the owners of tho land by tbe Grandin Company, of Tidioute. It is undoubtedly tbe finest piece of timber in Pennsyvania, it being estimated that there are 100,000,000 feet of it on the tract, and tunc it will require at least three or four years to cut, saw and market it. During bis lifetime tbe late E. E. Clapp would hardly allow a stick to be cut on his property. As a consequence there is a large area of almost virgin forest, in cluding quite a quantity of pine, hem lock, oak and chestnut, all of which, at the prices now curreut, is very valuable. 'Ihe recent purchasers have already com menced cutting some railroad ties, but the real lumbering will commence In earnest at an early date. Among other things a sawmill will be erected on tbe flats, near tbe mouth of Hemlock Creek, with a capacity of 40,000 feet per day. An iron railroad bridge is also to be built across the river, by tbe lumber company, probably at a point midway between President and Eagle Rock. Tbe idea at present is to construct it at the lower end of the island, between tbe two places, at the bead of Eagle Rock eddy. This site has been selected be cause tbe river is narrower there than at President. The bridge at this point would be only about 4(H) feet long, while at or near tho President railroad station it would be about 600 feet leng. There is also talk that wben the timber shall have been removed tbe company will sell the bridge to tbecouuty, If terms can be agreed upon, tbe same to be plank ed and used by tbe people who are now compelled to utilize tbe ferry. Tbis will tend to attract to the place quite a little army of workmen, all of whom will help to make business in tbe various lines. Already Mr. Long, wbo keeps the hotel, is experiencing a fore taste of what is to come, bis hostelry be ing well filled with patrons most of Ibe limo. He is setting a good table and giv ing better satisfaction than did bis prede cessors. There is every reason to believe that tbe population of President will Increase ma terially within Ihe next year. Oil City Blizzard. Clarion Couuty Poor House Muddle. A Clarion dispatch undor date of 13tb lust., says : J. A. Suminerville and Geo. W. Tester, commissioners of Clarion county, and John Shirley, county solici tor, were arrested to-day on information of County Commissioner John S. Saxon, charging conspiracy and fraudulently altering and falsifying a public record and the minutes of tbe county commis sioners, and also charging conspiracy to defraud tbe county. It is charged by Mr. Saxon that the plans and specifications of the new poor house were never adopted in an execu tive meeting of the board and wben this defect was made known to tbe other com missioners and Solicitor Shirley that they changed the minutes of tbe meet ings so as to remedy the fault. Mr. Saxon also alleges that the other two commissioners fraudulently paid $100 to Solicitor Shirley. It Is claimed that tbe commissioners have not proceed ed according to law in tbe matter of tbe county poor larm aud bouse ever since tbe beginning of the matter, which was last spring. It is also under stood that proceedings in equity will be instituted to test the legality and stop the proceedings of the commissioners in erecting the poor bouse. U, J. Peoples, or Pittsburg, is the architect for the build ing and tbe contract was let last week to Mr. Xortman, also of Pittsburg, for tbe sum of Jii9,000. Tbe accused appeared belore A. R. Cy phert to-day and were placed under $300 bail each for a bearing. It is said that G. G. Stoan, Esq., has been retained as counsel to institute proceedings in equity to test the legality of the action oftbe board of commission ers In regard to tbe county poor bouse matter, and Is now engaged In the neces sary preliminary steps to enjoin the com missioners from proceeding with the con struction of the poor bouse. CLIMATIC Cl'lttX The influence of climatic conditions in the cure of consumption is very much overdrawn. Tbe poor patient, and the rich patient, too, can do much better at home by proper attention to food diges tion, and a regular use of German Syrup. Free expectoration in the morning is made certain by German Syrup, so is a good night's rust and the absence of that weakening cough and debilitating night sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus tion due to coughing, the greatest dan ger and dread of the consumptive, can bo prevented or stopped by taking German Syrup liberally and regularly. Should you be able to go to a warmer clime, you will find that of the thousands of con sumptives there, the few wbo are bene fitted and regain strength are those who use German Syrup.

Perhaps you have novur thought of it, but the fact must be apparent to every one that constipation is caused by a lack of water in the system, and the use of drastic cathartics like tho old fashioned pills only makes a bad matter worse.
