A queer uonditfon of affairs has oc
curred at the new government dam at
Logan's eddy, which demonstrates the
fact that aomebody has blundered in a
most culpable manner. The dam was
buili first and the lock bas not been fin
ished, sc there Is no way by which boats
or rafts can now get over tbe dam to the
Iver below. The result Is that about 60
loaded botts and 20 timber rafts which
went down the river on the recent tise"
have been caught in tbe ice and are frazen
p. Tbe amount involved In this tie up
is about f 100,000 in boats and limber, and
it is all liable to be lost If carried over tbe
dam in a flood with the ice. If lost, some
body ought to be compelled to bear tbe
loss aside from the lumbermen. Clurion

tioned herein is the property of Forest
county people operating on the Clarion

A bid of $2 a barrel for 10,000 barrels of
crude oil, represented by National Trail
sit certificates, was made on the floor of
the exchange Thursday by Thomas B,
Simpson, of Philadelphia, a former prom
inent br ker on tbe floor of the exchange
in tbe halcyon days of speculation. Mr,
Simpson is now a resident of Philadel
phia, but is hereon a business visit. Dur
ing the day a vale of 5,000 certificates at
$1.05 was recorded. With tbe exception
of tbe year 1805, the sale and bid yester
day is the highest quotation for certifi
cates for 25 years, or since tbe opening

Local Institute.
A local institute ot the teachers of tbe
township and borough was beld in tbe
principal's room in tbe high school build
ing last Saturday. It proved a pleasant
and helpful convention of tbe teachers,
which was no doubt due to tbe enterprise
of the chairman, D. W. Morrison, who
took the Initiative Btep, and to the har
mony with which the teachers worked.
Tbe program as printed in this paper two
weeks ago, was carried out with the addi
tion of two recitations by Misses Merle
Dunn and Lenore Ritchey, both of which
were highly complimentary to the young
ladies and well pleasing to tbe teachers,
especially The Nineteenth Century Teach
er. Supt. Stitzinger and a uumberof teach
ers from neighboring townships were in
attendance, and their interest added
much to the Inspiration of the institute.
Among those present were: R. A. Reed,
Misses Guenther, Lohmeyer, McClenn
Mrs. Maude Berlin of Kingsley ; Misses
bertaa Fogle, Pearl a"d Mae Elliot of
Harmony; W, J. Stewart of HL-kory,
and Maxwell Heath of Green.
A Dargnin for Farmers.
The New York Tribune Farmer, a na

Knowiug that every enterprising, up-
to-date farmer always reads bis own lo

Lesson For Our Bear Hunters.
Tbe Sheffield Observer tells this bear
story which is somewhat of a takedown
to some of our bear hunters who would
scarcely have the nerve to tackle bruin
with a buggy whip:
"While driving to Sheffield recently
from her homo at Cooper Tract, Mrs. E.
A. Wolfe bad an experience that is worth
telling and does not fall to the lot of the
average woman, even in a bear country.
Mrs. Wolfe was accompanied by ber
daughter, and when driving along the
plauk road near Klondike she found a
large bear sitting in the road apparently
determined to hold the right of way.
When the borse bad got about as close as
horses usually want to get to a bear, It
stopped aud refused to advance. The
bear showing no inclination to move Mrs.
Wolfe arose iu the buggy and shook the
robe at the animal. As this bad no ef
fect in moving the bear Mrs. Wolfe got
out of tbe buggy and advanced, shaking
the robe. Bruin still refused to move,
and Mrs. Wolfe returned to the buggy
and secured the whip, and with that wea
pon drove the animal from the road into
the woods. Tbe lady showed remarka
ble nerve, and must be a wonder to some
hunters we know of that don't even shoot
at a bear without first selecting a tree to
climb iu case the shot should not prove
fatal."
