tracks made by sleiuli and horses and the
robbers got away. This amount ol goods
would start a fair sized cross-roads store

tho case in this instance
Sermonizing on the old saying,"Boys
will 1)0 bovs." tho 1! rad lord Era says:
"And it tuav also be added that hoys will
bo iiwn if they live long enough. Hoys
ought to bo good, but they are so full of
human nature that they aro not so good
as they might be. There are boys who
like to stay out late at nilits. Some of
them get drinks under false pretense,
representing themselves as boiii f age,
when they aro minors or very minor
mental development. ' They are taking
their first lessons in d.asipatinn and are
laying nn troubles for tl-emsolves in the
form ol habits which will some day be a
curse to them. Hartenders are usually
carefuf about giving dt inks to minors,
but they cannot tell by intuition how old
a youth is, after ho has reached the size
of an adult-anil alter ho has become an
adept in lyinsj. Roys of that sort should
receive special parental uttontioti which,
too often, is neglected."
A decission that is likely to prove of
Interest tojustleos of tho peace was band
od down by the supreme court several
days ago. It decides that Justices can
only Isnuo warrants and receive Informa
tion in thoso districts for which they were
elected. In other w irds it Is illegal for
squires el ctcd in the township to main
tain offices In the town. Competent au
thorities say that the commissioners can
refuse to pay the Justice's loon on casos
rereived when tho magistrate was out of
his bailiwick.
Friday and Saturday evening's of
last week Profs. R, L. Rock wood, of In
dianapolis, speaker, Hnd M ill D. Blair,
of Philadelphia, singer, held largo audi
ences in the M. E. church, the meetings
being under tho auspices ol the National
division Sons of Temperance. After the
meotings an in vltation was given lo all
who wished to enroll as members of the
order, and nearly one hundred signatures
to the pledgo were secured. A division
of tho order will be chartered and organ
ized in this place in a short time.
Ry the blowing of a lace curtain
against a gas jet in the house of Peter
Toy, at Fox burg, Pa., a lire was staited
that consumed the building, and burned
to doath his six-year-old daughtor, Mar
garet, on Sunday morning last, The
child was asleep on a couch, and her pre
dicament was not discovered until too
late to save hor. When the body was re
covered it was found that both arms and
lens were burned off. One other build

severely damaged by lire and water.
A meat war is on in Youngstown,
Ohio. A local dealer there a Ivertises the
lollowing prices for first class meat;
"Chuck roast, 7c; chuck steak, 8c; ten
derloin steak, 10c; sirloin steak, 10c;
lard, He; other prices In proportion. Only
10 pounds will be sold to a customer at
these prlcos, but freo delivery is given."
The trouble la that this "war" la too far
removed from 'our midst," like the
Russo-Japanese embrnglio, and wo in
this latitude get no fun out of it, When
it comes to meat wars and general prnv-
endor wars, we like to be in tho thick of

The first contract for a road to be con
structed under the Sproul road law is
ready to bo awarded and Crawford coun
ty has the honor. It will be for a road to
be constructed between theTitusvillecity
limits and those of Hydetnwn borough,
savs the Courier. The road is nearly two
miles In length and the bid which has
been accepted will approximate (11,000
for work and material. The name of the
successful bidder has not been inado pub
lic, but as soon as some slight changes
aro made iu the specifications the con-
contract 111 be concluded. The work
will be begun early next season and com
pleted before fall if present plans are car
ried out. Tltusvllle people contributid
fo.OOO toward the "good roads" fund but
this will uot all be used in the construc
tion of the thoroughfare mentioned.
--Again the oldest inhabitant is scratch
ing bis muddled cranium to find In his
memory a winter to match the one we
are just now struggling through. It's
likely he'll be obliged to throw up the
job, for It is a hard one. With already
about s'teen weeks of a steady run of
sleighing and tho winter just begun, with
two-and-a-half to four feet of mo al
most anywhere you've a mind to go, and
all the weather sharps predicting still
more to lollow, we opine that the winter
of 1003 i will take the record and hold it
for tho century. Many are shaking thoir
heads and predicting dire calamities "if
this should go off with a sudden rain,"
but there's ho use crossing the bridge till
you get to it, and so it's best to keep cool
while you ran, since frettiu' won't help
it. Old Probability may fool 'em all yet.
Noting the stoiy about Henry Mil
ler's 17-year-old lion, published in these
column's last week, our Iriend 1J. Shotts,
of Tylorsburg, sends In an account that
"sees" the former and goes It five better.
Mr. Shotts has a brown Leghorn bon that
was 22 years old last spring, and is doing
good work yet, putting Lor share of tho
high-priced ben-fruit in the nest as regu
larly as tho season comes around. The old
gal was 14 years old before alio evinced
any desire to hatch a brood of chicks, ami
is now laying as well as the rest of his
ftock. Last year she hatched out a nice
brood of chicks and took as good caro of
them as she did when Btill in her teens.
Mr. Shotts vouches for the truth of this
remarkable story, and to those who know
him, his word is all the proof that is need
ed. We think he has the record, and
doubt whother anyone can take it away
from him.
Fire Fatality Narrowly Averted.
A dwelling owned by the Watson
Lands Lumber Co., at Mayburir, this
county, and occupied by Frank Rahorn
and family, was burned to the ground
last Sunday aftornoon. The Tire start
ed In the kitchen, and immediately
gained such headway that it was impossi
ble to .cheek it with the limited water
suply at hand. In the houso was Mrs.
E. L. Littlefleld, a daughter of Mr. Ra-
Lhorn, who had been sick and was still
confined to hor bed, and it was with difh
culty she wu8 rescued fiom the flames.
In the excitement attending her rescue
the little four-year-old son of Mr. Ra
horn was missed, and it dawned upon
the horror-stricken parent that his child
was still in the building. He rushed
through the flames into the dioing room
whore he found the littlo fellow crouched
upon the floor and nearly suffocated from
the smoke, but not burned any. The
father was considerably burned about
tho face and hands, though not seriously.
Very little of the household ell'ccts were
saved. The property loss will amount to
about ."00, with no insurance.
The misfortune comes with double
force upon Mr. Rahorn, who lost his sou,
itucd 17 years, about two weeks ago, from
typhoid fever.

Ail Important Decision.
J. M. Hem la A Son vs. H. A. Shipe, Col
lector of Taxes of Jenks Twp. . Bill in
Equity.
The plaintiffs in this case reside outside
of the county of Forest, but aro engaged
in manufacturing timber into lumber in
Jenks township, Forest county, and own
a large tract of timber, tho same having
been purchased from the Penn Tanning
Co., and have erected a large stationary
S'.iw mill, with a capacity of forty thous
sand feet per day, said mill being erected
on a warrant adjoining the timber tract,
on lands leased from the Ponu Tanning
Co.
The assessor valued tho mill and ma
chinery at 5,0(Hl, and returned tho same
to the County Commissioners, who assess
ed thorn under tho Act of 18:tl as real es
tate of shUI plaintiffs. Taxes were levied
by the County of Forest, school directors
of Jenks township, and the road com
missioners of said township, and the du
plicates were placed in the hands of the
defendant for collection.
The plain tifl's alleged in thoir bill that
the taxes wero illegal, and requested the
court to issue a mandamus on the defend
ant to restrain him from collecting tho
taxes in his duplicate. TLo case camo
before Hon. W. M. Lindsoy on Hill and
Answer ou tho 23rd day of Doeember,
1003, and on January IS, 1001, tho court
rendered a decision in tho ease In which
he holds that the taxes were legally as
sessed, and that the act ol 1834 makes
mills such as this real estate for the pur
pose of taxation, while by the acls of the
partios they are technically personal
property. He says to hold otherwlsn
would open the door lo fraud, thus al
lowing pon-'ons the right to purchaso
large tracts of timber and then lease
lands on which to erect largo and valua
ble mills mid uvado their share of taxa
tion by say ing tho mills mid machinery
thereto belonging aro personal properly
and iiotftihjoct to taxation.
The bill was dismissed at tho cost of tho
plaintiff. The plaintiffs wero ably repre
represented by I. 1. Hall, of Warren and

Whore is that January tliawT Three
feet of snow in the woods makes it bard
times for tho lumbermen. It is almost
impossible to move logs or bark just
now. Many ol tho men of the logging
and bnrk camps aro going home nn ac
count of deep snow. It is not olten that
wintercotues in the middle of November
and stays right through, but It does Borne
years, and as this is leap-year, she will
have to have her own way about It.
I wrote you last week about tho sick
ness and misfortune in the burg, but it
makes one feel good to be able to
write something good. One of the best
things I have seen this winter took place
on Thursday afternoon, whon Mayburg
was invaded by about 40 ladies from Kel
lettvillo that came in two large sled loads
and four or live sleighs. Drove right to
the preacher's, Rev. Zahniser, aud sur
prised him and his wife by presenting
them with about $20 in cash aud $30 or
f 40 worth of groceries and dry goods
the ladies wero at their very best, aud
when the ladies of Kellcttville make up
their minds to be at their best you see
displayed all those qualities that go to
make up a beautiful and loving woman,
filled with noble deeds and a loving
spirit. God bless you, ladies, your act
was not only generous, but it was done
beautifully, and the neighborly Fpirit of
it was grand.

Great caro should be takou iu the select

mony with tho county commissioners,
should take advantage of the State offer
of aid on all public roads. Kingsley
township has good roads, but they ought
to be much belter, Thero is enough
money wasted to givo us turnpikes ev
erywhere. I do not say it's boodle or
gi aft, but it's lack of skill and business
qualifications and business experience.
Time and cash Is wasted year alter year.
It would not be tolerated for a moment
In a first class business. I don't see why
It should be iu one of our most impor
tant departments of township, county
and state affairs. Wako up for good
roads and properly spoilt taxes. Put
business Into it and the results will be
surprising. I remember last spring, a
gentleman driving in our neighborhood
through tho muddy roads above us,
"Why," said ho, "hero's a good streak,
the horses seem to know it." Yes, they
do know it, and tho pockets well know it.
Well, lot us have good roads.

"Sixteen years ago when our lirst child

it such a reliable remedy for colds uiitl

other is that it is not dangerous, and
there is no risk from giving tin overdose.

Auto's Not a Monaco to Fanners.
The experts who hunt new things to
worry about are now figuring trouble for
the farmer from the increased use of au
tomobiles. Soon the power wagon will
do the work of tho horso iu cities and be
common in every country district. This,
they say, will reduce the demand for feed
of all kinds. The grass will remain un
cut In tho meadows, oats will be used on
ly for chicken feed, corn will be in so lit
tle demand that It will be fed to the hogs,
ruin will sit down to sup in eyery tarm
bouse. Those doleful predictions were
made when the steam trains first began
tij displace the stage coaches and trucks
that handled tho passenger and freight
trallicof the world, they were heard again
when the bicycle appeared and now they
are ushering iu tho automobile. Soon the
airship will be said to threaten agricultur
al prosperity. We presume, however, that
mankind will continue to eat as much as
ever. The cow also will not lose Uct ap
petite and sheep will continue to feed on
grain and hay. The great American hog
will thrive as ot old and the demand for
breakfast food will not diminish even if
tho whole world forsakes the horse. Po
tatoes and cabbages will taste good and
be bought for some time yet, and the
chances are that if during tho next ten
years every horse iu the cities and towns
should be replaced by machinery the
honest farmer would not notice the differ
ence. The railriads benefitted the rural
regions most and the inarch of invention
will never harm the man who toils.
There are no farina w hore a horse will
not be always needed, and if they become
cheaper the farmer will bo able to have
more and better teams. Let the auto
come aud welcome The farmer will
find no fault. So thinks the Franklin
News, and we agree with it.
A Newspaper Worth Heading.
The Pittsburg Times is a conservative,
careful newspaper for particular people.
Its statements of fact and comments on
them are concise and correct. Its de
partments are in charge of experts, and
its authority iu all matters pertaining to
the events ot the world at large and of the
community it represents more particu
larly is recogniz-d. It has no Sunday
edition, and its position in that regxrd in
Pittsburg is as unique as its thorough
reliability in every way. Staunchly Re
publican In political policy it yet gives
all the news of all parties. Its moral
tone Is high, and churchmen of every
creed lind in Its columns more news of
their interests and work than in all its
contemporaries combined. Sports are
given the prominence they deserve and
nn more. The news concerning them is
bright, timely, and adequate, for the
