Take it out on the bills in most of the

of any distance. There has now been a

might call pretty good, although at no

Shot a Finger Off.
M. L. Range, constable, collector and
assessor of Harmony township, met with
an accident last Saturday afternoon in a
rather peculiar manner. In his duties as
tax collector he has persuaded himself
that it would be a pious idea to have
some means ol defense in case some fel
low might want his "wad" worse than he
did, and so he provided himself with a
32 calibre revolver. While on bis way
home from a tour of bis township he
slipped and loll, striking on the weapon,
which was in his overcoat, and hurting
his thigh considerably. He concluded
that bis inside coat pocket would he a
better place for the revolver, and was iu
the act of making the change, having the
weapon iu his right hand and pulling the
lapel of the coat with the left. In this
position the pistol was discharged, the
ball passing through the little linger of
his left hand between the knuckle and
joint, teaiiug the bone eniiiely away.
Len thinks that iu his fall the revolver
was cocked, and when be wa making
tlie change he must have gotten his lin
ger on the trigger and pressed it hard
enough to discharge the shot. Dr. Dunn
was called and made the necessary re
pairs, and thinks the finger can be saved.
Len. says he never beforo carried a re
volver, and considers that since he man
aged to hit the smallest linger on bis left
hand the first shot, without taking "half
aim," ho might, with a little practice, be
come an expert in a short time.

Brothers Killed In a Coal Mine.
A double fatality, one of the saddest
happenings to occur in this county for
some time, is reportod from Harnett town
ship, the accidental doatli of two broth
ers. Albert and Wayne Cousins, sous of
James R. Cousins, one of our oldest citi
zens and who byes about two milos from
Itedclylle, were working together in a
coal mine near Thomas, West Virginia,
on Saturday, the Oth inst., when a cave-in
occurred, letting a largo quantity of slate
down. The men were about to set a num
ber of pit posts to sustain the roof of the
mine w hen the slate came down upon
them crushing out their lives almost in
stantly. The men were promptly ex
tricated, but it was too late, as lilo was
extinct when they wero rescued.
Their remains were prepared for burial
and sent north, arriving at the homo ol
their parents, from whence the funeral
was held on Wednesday last, both bodies
being interred in one grave, In Green
wood cemetery, In Barnelt township, a
large concourse of sympathizing friends
attending the sad obsequies.
Both were men of families, Albert, the
elder, leaving a wife and four children.
Wayne leaves a wile and one child and
both were men of excellent character,
noted for their industry and honesty, and
their tragic ending has cast a gloom over

Fanners' Institutes.
The iinportanco of tho farming inter
ests of our great State is shown by the
creation of a Departmont of Agriculture,
organized for (lie sole purpose of benefit
ling the farming communities of tlis
Commonwealth.
One of the principal features of this De
partment is the holding of institutes in
the various counties of the State. Speak
ers are provided for these popular gath
erings; men who are specialists in their
subjects, and known to be successful in
their particular vocations.
As an added feature, opportunity is
given to local talent to coutiibute essays
and other interesting ma'.ter and in this
way the institutes are provided with a
great variety of entertaining subjects,
which are a delight to those who attend
the Best-ions. '
Our Forest county institute was hold
last week in the court house, beginning
on Friday atiernooii and continuing till
Saturday night, the address of wilcome
being delivered by S. D. Irwin, Emi.,
and it pi oved to be one of the finest in
the county's history.
Chairman C. A. Randall had arranged
a rich and varied program ot subjects es
pecially interesting to farmers and that
theo subjects were appreciated, is shown
by the large attendance pre-ent at every
session of the institute.
The Agricultural Department had
placed at his disposal a splendid corps of
instructors including Prof. M. S. Mc
Dowel, of Slate College, who addressed
the gatherings on the subjects of'Lime,"
"Why Educate," aud "Value of Pertil
izeis." Mr. Robert Seeds, ouo of the most pop
ular institute lecturers, delighted his au
diences not less with his popular talks
on the "Mistakes of Life" and "Ideal
Farm Home," than he instructed them
by his presentation of agricultural sub
jects. A third nu mber of the corps was J. Y.
Patton, of New Caste, who devoted his
attention to the poultry question, show
ing the profits to be made by the iotelli
gent breeder and raiser of chickens.
Successful stock raising was discussed
by Mr. A. B. Lehman, who has an envia
ble reputatiou throughout the State as a
specialist in this department of animal
industry.
Iu addition to tho above Chairman
Randall was very heartily supported by
our local talent who furnished the music
aud contributed essays aud addresses
on various topics.
Noticablo among these was an address
on "Hygiene," by T. F. Ritchey, Esq.,
another instructive talk was made by the
Rev. O. II. Nickle, on "Tho Family Gar
den," another able address on "The
Higher Education of Woman," by the
Rev. R. W. Illlngworth. while Mr. T. I).
Collins discussed "The Fanner's Duty
Under the New Road Law."
The musical parts of the program wero
by local perlormers. Especially com
meiidable was the work of the male oc
tette on Friday evening, Miss Randall
presiding at the organ, while the essays
of the Misses Thomson and Carson, with
tho reading of Miss Joyce were warmly
received,
A most interesting feature of the eve
ning exorcises was a flag drill by the
children of the public schools under the
direction of teachors, the Misses Morrow
and McCrea. Some enjoyable vocal se
lections were also ren lored by tho schol
ars to the satisfaction of the audience.
The institute of l'.lnJ has passed into
history, but to th many who attonded its
sessions, it will be ploasantly remom-
bored as ono of tho most interesting and
entertaining ever held in the cunty of
Forest.
Wl-'ST HH'KOHY INSTITUTK
The session of the Farmers' Institute
hold at West Hickory under the direction
of Forest county Institute Chairman
Randall, of Tionesta, was held in the M.
E. church and was a decided success,
Tho same Stato cerps of lecturers gave
addresses on agricultural subjects as
those who spoke at the Tionesta gather
ing, and they wero heartily supported by
the residents of the town.
Noticeable among the latter, were the
papors read by Mr. Geo. King, on "Sheep
Raising," and the essays of Miss Frances
B. Siggins and Mrs. S. L. Vail on "The
Home Garden," and "The Model Teach
er," respectively. Mr. T. D. Collins, of
Nebraska, also spoke instructively on
"Eloments of success for tho Farmer."
A very Interesting discussion took
place at the evening session on the "Ad
vantage of Electing Lady School Direct
ors." When, after the arguments, the
question was submitted to a test vote of
the audience, but two opposed tho plan.
This discussion was introduced by Dr.
W. O. Morrow, In an address favoring
tho women under certain conditions.
A pleasing featute of tho session was
the music. This was under the direction
of Mrs. W ilk ins, and proved to be of an
umisualiy high order.
The State lectureisand Chairman C. A.
Randall were entertained at dinner by
Mr. and Mrs. Orion Siggins, at their
home on the evening of tho institute, and
were delighted will) the generous hos
nilalitv and rourlesv extended to them

Insurance Companies Sot Seriously
Affected.
The probable effect of the great Balti
more conflagration on the insurance com
panies has been a matter of considerable
concern to many, and inquiries have
been numerous at the different tusurauce
agencies on this point. It will reassure
the people to know that while all have
sustained heavy losses, none of the larg
er companies will be seriously affected,
In conversation with Mr. C. M. Arner,
of the firm of Arner A Son, he stated that
the insurance loss has been estimated at
from eighty to a hundred million dollars
and that it was probable that no one com
pany had been Involved more than one
million. He also stated that he has had
assurance from all the companies repre
sented by his firm that the losses sus
tained will not in tho least affect their
standing, and that their large surplus
funds will be much more than ample to
meet all their losses. Mr. Arner sub
mitted a number of letters and telegrams
from his companies of which the follow
ing is a sample:
Philadelphia, Feb.lt, 1901.
C. M. Arner A Son,
Tionesta, Pa.
Although Royal loses a considerable
sum in Baltimore, such disasters are an

Letter to John Wolf,
TiotwMa, Pa.
Dear Sir: The way to reckon the cost
ot paint is to put both costs together: the
cost of the paint and tho cost of putting It
on.
It would save this country hundreds of
millions of dollars a year; It would save
you alone (if you happen to be a victim)
several dollars a year.
See how it works. It costs as mucti to
put on one paint as another, don't it T
Yes, il you uso the same number of
gallons.
Well, don't I?
No, you'll use twice as many gallons of
adulterated paint as of Dovoo; and you've
got to pay twice as much for putting it on.
Mr. Avery, Delhi , N. Y., has two
houses alike and in same condition.
Painted one house with Devoe: ti gallons.
Painted the other house with a paint that
whs half adulteration : 12 gallons. Same
painter, Goo. Gilbert, did both jobs. One

How names call up recollections. Thirty
seven years ago I was hunting on the
headwaters of Queen and came back by
the old Warren road and over German
Hill to Tionesta. Conrad Zuendel, undo
or the present Conrad, was living on the
Kiser place. Win. Heath, then a strong,
powerful man. was living on tho Heath
homestead. We had a wagon load of deer.
We took dinner at Mr. Heath's, stopping

Tho High Constable, II. E. Gillespie,
was at the Justice's oflice on business

I see by the papers that a service pen
sion bill has been put before the House
of Representatives. That is about the
only way to do justice to the men who
stood the brunt of ihe tight. Years in
Llbby Prison or Andersonville should be
paid for at a greater price, tl an a trip
down South, and no smell of powdor,
maybe lor three months, and then dis
charged. The spirit ot the enlistment
was probably the same, but the suffering
of some was greater. Mouey cannot re
pay many of the old veterans for what
they went through. A service pension
would ease It up somewhat, but never in
lull.
The controversy that is going on over
Governor Vardanian's theory that edu
cation makes the negro worse calls from
the Memphis Commercial Appeal the
statement that Major Vardamau's argu
ment is iucontrovertable, aud among
other things says, "this lack ot moral
sense makes thieves and robbers and
muiderers of them by the wholesale.
Education has not benefitted him men
tally, morally or spiritually. The most
eloquent, most scholarly, and the most
brilliant negro. Bi-hop of America a
man who was educated et Harvard is
one of the most notoriously lewd aud
profligate members or his race. He rep
resents what we know to be tho worst
status of the negro ministry." To show
the worthlessuess and humbug of such
argument, consider LortUByron, his life
and character. Does his life condemn
the whole Anglo-Saxeu race? Not at all.
Aud yet bis race had about 1000 years of
experience and education before his time.
To make things equal iu our judgmeut
of the negro and Anglo-Saxon races, we
would have to go back to the conquest ot
the British Isles by the Romans. I have
no doubt but that the Roman senators
and generals thought about the same
concerning the natives of England that
Governor Vardauian does about the ne
groes of the Southland, yet the Roman
senators and generals, representing the
highest civilization of that time, were
lewd beyond compare. How about Nero
and his fiddling at Rome, and his life?
How about Bloody Mary? HeuryVIII
did not slop at one murder to satisfy his
ungodly lust and lewdness. How about
those that murdered our veterans at Lib-
by and Andersonville? What had edu
cation done for them ? How about the
civiliziug influence ol burning a negro at
the stake? The lewdness, lust, rapine
and murder is not all on the side of the
negro. Mokk Anon.
