The oillcial also signed a con tract With the county commissioners and with the township supervisors of Oil Creek township for their share of the money necessary to build the road. Un der the law the state pays two-thirds and tho county and township each one sixth. This is the first contract to be consummated under the new law aud Crawford county peoplo should feel proud of thoir officials and the contribu tors lo the road fund in this city. The work will be begun as soon us the weather permits. Titusville Courier, An exchange says that the happiest pooj le In the world are those who keep out ofdebt, out or office, out of politics, shun notoriety, make an houest living by honest means, follow the golden rule, humbly serve the living God, pursue the even tenor of their way, and neglect no opportunity of doing good. While we believo that the statement Is all ritjlit we alto believe that the only follows who ever lived on that platform are dead. Frank Smith of Nebraska was badly burned about the lace and bands last Sunday while lighting a fire In thn stove of one ol the passenger coaches of the S. A T. railroad.

Dr. Bovard waa called and lound the patient suffering se vere pain, with some danger ol seriously aflecting the eyes. Thore will be a camplire at Bovard's hall in llio evening of the 17th Inst, Riven by Capt. D. S. Knox Camp, S. O, V., In honor ol the old soldiers, and the W. R. C. Great preparations are being made by the Sons to make tbe occasion a suc cess.

Alisons and .rand-sons of vetorans, also all old soldiers, are cordi ally invited, regardless or whether they are members or the Camp or Post.. Since last week we have had another break-up, the Ice in the smaller streams, which had formed to a considerable thickness, having gone out on a flood nearly equalling the one of two weeks previous in height or water stage. Tho rains beginning on Friday night contin ued at Intervals throughout Saturday and on Sunday .morning we had a regu lar spring pourdowu, with vivid flashes of lightning and heavy thundor accom paniments. Tho snow has about all dis appeared from the open fields, and the sleighing Is practically at an end In muny spots. Tbe Auditors' report and Commis sioner' statement of the financial condi tion of the county is published in this issue, and will doubtless be read with Interest by tbe taxpayers of the county. On the whole the exhibit is a creditable one to the officials, showing as It does a balance on tbe right side ol the ledger on the county account to tho amount ir fl, 757.07. On the Poor account the balance Is still tbe other way. but has been con siderably reduced rroin last year's show ing, and with wise and conservative management will be wiped out without scarcely being noticed. Sheriff Noblit dropped a roll of mon ey aggregating about 20 last Saturday (we are at a loss to know what business a sheriff has with that much money in th ese piping times of prosperity anyway) but the wad fell into honest bands, luck ily, and after considerable searching it was handod to the Sheriff by Dick Sut ton, and George rewarded him hand somely for his goodness. Dick was af terward asked If he knew who lost the stuff before he roturned it, and replied that, of course be did, "Hang it, didn't I s e him drop it, but I thought I would let him sweat a little before returning it." The New Agey House, at Leeper.Pa., In ono of the neatest, cleanest and best conducted hotels to be found in the coun try, and under the management of Harry A. Agey is having a nice run of custom, many sleighing parties having found It a pleasant place to visit during tbe past wintor. The building is new, and tlirouhout is adorned with modern furni ture and fixtures, making the surround ings very cozy and comfortable. With a gonial and good-natured landlord, and a patronage composed of such affable gen tlemen as our old friend, J. R. Alt, there is every inducement for tbe traveling public to patronize the New Agey. Tbe Brookville Republican, in its record of the recent court proceedings in Jefferson county, has the following: There was but one other case on the list for the present term, that of Charles Cor bet vs. William Dickey and Frank X. Kreitler, and this case also resulted in a verdict lor the defendants. In this case the plaintiff, who is a member of the firm of Collins, Kreitler & Co, at Nebraska, Forest county, sought to obtain relief from tho payment of a part of the Fenn judgment, obtained against Collins, Kreitler A Co. a number of years ago, on the ground that the contract with Fenn was entered into before he became a member of tbe firm. T. D. Collins, the wealthy lumber man, of Nebraska, Forest counly, Pa was in Brookville last week, in attend ance on our court, whore he was a party in a cause being tried. Mr. Collins is said by persons we;l informed on the subject, to be the largest contributor to the cause of missions In tho United States He is a member of the M. E. church, and his contributions yearly to the mission ary society of that church is six thousaud dollars. Besides this, and in addition to it, he made a contribution last year, through Bishop C. C. McCabe. of one hundred thousand dollars to the parent missionary society of the M. E.. church, to be paid in ton equal annual payments. This liberality to the cause of missions is not equalled anywhere in the M. E. church, nor In any other church in the United States. Jetl'ersonian Democrat. For the past ten days our town lias been practically without fire protection, owing to an empty reservoir, and for part of that time most or the citizens have had soarcely enough water Tor domestic use. Much of this trouble waf caused by patrons of the water company allowing their spigots to run during tbe night to prevent the pipes from freezing, a habit which almost borders on the criminal, thereby placing the town at the mercy of any firo that might occur while the res ervoir was empty. An immense amount of water is flowing in, as is shown by the (act that In but a few hours tbe supply line filled the lour thousand barrel teser voir, and to allow it to run off to save frr.zen water-pipes simply because ol in ferior or defective plumbing is decidedly hazardous to the property owners, to say nothing of the manifest unfairness to the water company. If your pipes are liable to freeze, turn off the water at the drip stop which will be found on every good job ol plumbing. Thon the water is not wastod and pipes will not be frozen. ' The Tldioute News tolls of a phenom enon which struck that section last week that will afford some scientific cuss a lit tle food for reflection. We migi.it state for Br'er White's edification that no such substance was noticeable hereabout, and that if ho is trying to "throw dust in our eyes" In this worst of all modern winters, and that, too, on groundhog day, he'll be caught at it, and required to "make good" In case there Is any question about the strange apparatiou : "Tuesday the snow was covered with a coating of some sub stance of a red-brown nature. Samples obtained by melting a quantity of snow showed It to be a dust of a red-brown col or, very fine, showing little or no grit, but decidedly of earth formation. It came from tho south, but from what point or how it got in the air is a query unan swered. It seemed to come between two snow Hurries." The last legislature passed a bill in creasing tho salaries of judges In the State. There was some question raised as to its application to all tbe judges of tlie State. Attorney General Carson decides that it does. By it tbe judge of this dis trict (Forest-Warren) goes from $4,000 to 5,000 a year, as does Butler, Clariou, Crawford, Elk-Cameron, Mercer, Mc Kean and Venango. Erie goes from $5,000 to $7,000. The annual increase in the State foots up $192,500. Despite the opinion of the Attorney General, it is said State Treasurer Harris refuses to pay tbe warrants issued for the increased pay and will await a decision or tbe Su preme Court belbre the increased salaries will be paid. It is altogether probable that the State Treasurer is right about tbo matter, and that the constitutional pro hibition of any increase of salaries to of ficials in office will be sustained. Ohio farmers have been extensively swindled recently, aud aa that field is pretty well exhausted It is possible the swindlers may visit this section. The scheme is not a new one, but will bear repeating, as follows: Recently two men appeared with a patent tongue which i hey claimed had great advantages over the old style, and offered to leave one on trial. Be'ore departing they offered to sell the right of the county'. A few days later a con Die of other men appeared and wanted to buy the right to canvass, of fering several hundred dollars for it, As the sum was much greater than the original price asked.the farmer naturally thinks that he will realize a neat profit. When the original owner comes back the right is eagerly purchased, but the high priced buyer never puts in a second ap pearance. Tbe tongiiA is no belter than tbe ordinary kind. Profits In Lumbering. The Brookville Dem icrat of last week contained the following: Incidentally the testimony in the case of Corbet against Dickey, Kreitler and others, tried in Brookville last week, showed the large profits there has been in lumber operations in Western Penn sylvania during the past fifteen years. The firm of Collins, Darrab A Co. com prises T. D. Collins, Wni, Dickey, F. X. Kreitler, Mrs. Jane Darrab, Mrs. Mary A. Corbet, Mrs. Amy Brown, and Chas. Corbet. They own seven thousand acres of timber land In Forest county, on which they have been operating since 1800. a period of 14 years. Their product has been barges, coal boats and sawed lumbor. T. D. Collins owns half of tbe business and property, Win. Dickey and F. X. Kreitler an eighth each, and Mrs. Jane Darrah, Mrs. Charles Corbet, Mrs. Amy Brown aud Charles Corbot one six teenth each. The property cost about three hui dred thousand dollars. From 1800 to 1003, inclusive, the profits year by year on a sixteenth Interest, clear of all expenses, losses and draw backs, aud paid in cash have been as fol lows: In 1890, 4,000; 1801, $6,2M1; 1802, Jli.OOO; 1S93, ffl,000; 1804, $5,500; 1895, f3, 125; 1800, uo profits or dividends, because ot the Fenn verdict against the company, which including all expenses connected with it amounted to forty thousand dol lars or more; in 1897, $2,500; 1808, $3,750; 1809, $5,000; 1900, $4,000; 1901, $4,500; 1902, $4,000; 1803, $3,500. making the clear profits distributed in thirteen years, to the owner or each sixteenth interest $58, 125. Excluding the year when the profits were all used up by the Fenn litigation, the total profits In the thirtoen years were $930,000. One-hair or this went to Mr. Collins, $105,000. Dickey's and Kreiller's shares were each $110,250. In these thirteen years tbe clear profits were more than three times the cost or the property. Aud we understand that about one-third or the timber, or nearly so, remains still to bo cut and marketed. The figuns we have glveu afford some idea or the present value or limber in Western Pennsylvania. The timber was mostly pine and or a good quality. Product of County Farm in 1903.

Dear Sir: The cheap paint to buy is the one that covers more than you think ; the cheap one to wear is the one that is young when old. Mrs. Moore, of Kelsey, N.

It Whale Fishing mid Economic Law. Two and a quarter tons or whalebone have been sold in Dundee for $15,0mi a ton, and only four tons are left outstand ing in the world's supply. There is no corner in this picturesque commodity. The demand has outrun the supply so rapidly that in seventy years the price or whalebone bas risen from thirteen cents to nearly seven dollars a pound. Yet never in the greatest years or the whale fishory 'did any vessel make so many captures as were reported by the Newfoundland whalers in the past sea son. An average catch of somewhat more than two buudred whales apiece was certainly a remarkable catch for four vessels, but it does not presage a return of the picturesque industry which fifty years ago made Nantucket and New Bedford great. The whale fishery is simply going through tbe ame process as many another industry in the past. Colliei's Weekly. A liiunce lor Northern I'lirmcrs.
