"Those thinking about raising sweet
peas," said a well known lover of flowers,
would do well to discard the wire netting

little pointer it would be well for the
housewives to consider.

With last week's Issue of the Venan
go Spectator II. M. Irwin's connection
with tho paper ceases, he having disposed
of his interest in the plant to his partner(
Arthur S. Martin. In common with all
the other members of the craft we regret
exceedingly to note this shift, for we fear
it may take Mr. Irwin, even for a short
time, out of tho editorial push, which
would be a regretable contemplation
among his long list of admirers, and we
hope, after a rest and recuperation, to
I ear of his return to bis first love. A. J.

The Tidioute News of last Friday re
ports that Frank, son of C. T. Lay, while
coining up 'rom fishing Thursday noon
on the railroad rack, stopped from the
main track right in front of the hub lac
tory, on to the switch, not noticing a local
freight which was backing toward blin.
He was knocked down and the wheels of
a car ran over his left leg just below
the knee, horribly crushing bones and
flesh. He was taken to Dr. C. C. Kein
ble's office, where be with Dr. Shugart
amputated the stump above the knee. It
is reported that within the past few days
fa lood poison has set iu and tLe physi
cians fear fatal results.
The St. Marys Gazette sums an im
portant matter up in the lollowing point
ed paragraph: "Some people do not seem
to know that an editor does not know the
age, birth, nativity and history of every
mini or woman who happens to die in Hie
neighborhood, and they expect an editor
to give at least a column obituary notice
of the departed, while they themselves
make no effort to furnish him with the
facts and data or the person's life. Such
people should know that when an editor
has announced the fact of a person's death
and when, where and bow it occurred,
his duty as a news gatherer is ended. If
relatives want an obituary notice it is
their business to write it, or at least show
the editor the courtesy to furnish him the
facts to write about," and that promptly,
not waiting a week or two after the death
has occurred.
Speaking of the growing craze for the
propagation of the ginseng plant, an ex
change says ; About once a year the
mind of the man who does not want to
work for a living is seized with a desire
to gut rich quickly by giusong. Visions
of immense, wealth lure many victims to
spend thoir last dollar iu procuring seeds
and preparing a lot lor their planting.
Seed houses encourage the ginseng craze
bv issuing alluring circulars depicting
the great possibilities of the iudustiy but
the growers have not as yet succeeded
In raising enough ginseng to overstock
the market, as would be the case were
one In a thousand who are seized with the
craze to suet eed in raising tiie plant. A
little calculation ought to convince the
would bo ginseng raisers that tho busi
ness will not pay fabulous profits. Gin
seng is used only in China. It grows
wild in the United Slates and Canada, but
the best roots are to be found in Korea.
Tlio Infer country supplies the greater
amount of the ginseng uno.I iu China.
China imports from Ilio United States
about 311,000 pounds of ginseng annnu-ullv.
Why shouldn't church-going ladies
who wear these large, flaring, worldly
hats remove them while in the sanctuary,
as well as in the theatre? That question
has been sensibly settled by the ladies of
the First Methodist oongregatiao of
Bradford, who, according to the Record,
remove their head gear during the ser
vices. Let us hope this reform may ex
tend over the land. The man at the the
atre has a full view of all that's going on.
The good man at ohurch has 'an equal
right to see the choir and the preacher
perform. -Franklin Spectator.
John J. Hosack, ono of the best
known farmer of Mercer county, father
of Mrs. T. E. Armstrong formerly or Tio
nesta, was hold up and robbed one eve
ning recently by two foreigneis at his
home near Pardoe, He was relieved of
$18 in cash, all tho money be happened to
have about him. The thieves met Mr.
Hosack as he entered the barn door, and
after binding him, tied him to a manger.
They then gagged him and one of the men
choked him until he was almost blind and
also struck him several tlmea in the face.
They used bis cane to push the gag down
his throat. Mr. Hosack was convinced
that the men were desperate and made no
resistance. Shortly after the men left be
got the gag out of his mouth, but could
not untie the ropes, so was compelled to
remain a captive until 11 o'clock when
his daughters, Mrs, Sue McCleary, who
lives with her father, and Mrs. T. E.
Armstrong, of A'alon, who had been at
tending singing school at the Crlll school
house, returned home. They heard his
calls for help and released him. He was
in a bad condition when found, but will
recover. As a sequel to this robbery
Detective Marshall of Sharon, who at
tempted to arrest two Italians suspects,
was shot and probably fatally wounded
last Saturday. The suspects are still at
large.
The Alumni Banquet.
The banqiot of the Alumni Associa
tion of tiie Tionesta High School, last
Wednosday evening, was a fitting climax
lo the exercises of commencement week
The affair was held In Rovard's Hall, and
the menu, as usual, was served by the
Woman' Relief Corps, two features which
contributed largely to the success of the
occasion.
The gathering was called to order by
the president of the Alumni Association,
Miss Marie Smearhaugh, and everybody
was delighted with the menu. It was
unusual, varied enough, and to these
features was added the beautifully fur
nished tables filled with a hundred good
people of Tionesta, including its hand
some girls and stately dames, with their
escorts, all anticipating a jolly time at the
Alumni's second annual banquet, and
none were disappointed, for after devot
ing an hour to the appeals of the menu,
the "feast of reason and flow of soul" be
gan, and for over another hour pleas
antries and quips and jests were the
order of the hour with the post-prandial
speakers.
Ot course, the first toast was "The High
S.'hool," and in response Pruf. Morrison
read an original poem brimming full of
witticisms and localisms especially pleat
ing to the younger element.
Dr. Dunn responded to the toast of
"Esculapius," in bis usual happy way, his
knees being supported by a confidential
friend ; while the toast to the "Direct
ors" was well disposed of by Mr. E. W.
Bowman, a member of the board.
Mr. A. B. Kelly's response to "The Old
Time Banquet," was a felicitous effort,
and his well timed remarks to the class
of 1904 were heartily received.
The "Press" was responded to by the
two editors present, but they had tarried
too long at the feast and seemed altogeth
er too full for utterance.
"The Legal Profession," brought re
marks from both Mr. Ritcbey and Mr.
Brown, our local attorneys,
Mr. C. A. Randall gaye the attentive
company a very entertaining five-minute
speech which was replete with good sense
and excellent advice to those who have
passed out the school, as well as those
who are coming up to the graduating
point.
Then came tho toasts to the various
classes who have been graduated siuce
1897, of which class James Morrow was
the representative, and he put before the
banqueters very forcibly the splendid
achievements of that pioneer body of
young men and women, "the first class"
of the Tionesta High School, He was
followed by Lester Holemau of '99, Miss
Graham or 1900, Miss Hagerty or 1901,
Miss Alice Arner or 1902, Miss Alice Ag
new of 1903 and Miss Nellie Carson of
1904, all or whom, by the excellent char
acter or their remarks, acquitted thorn
selves well or their responsibility.
Rev. R. W, Illlngworlh filled the ardu
ous position ortoastrnaster on this mem
orable occasion, and this report would
scarcely be half complete did we not
mention in highest terms the excellent
manner in which this prince of ready
speakers conducted the pretty affair. The
silver-tongued doinine is thoroughly at
home in such a position, aud keeps the
toasts warm, likewise the toasters.
Promiscuous speeches followed and
when the general excitement had subsid
ed, it was found that it was almost mid
night, aud with hearty thanks to the
Alumni Association and the Womau's
Relief Corps, the banqueters bade each
other good night, and hoped to see each
other there next year.
Carl Ulrich Killed by Cars.
Carl B. Ulrich, aged 22 years, died on

Owar Hoch ol West Hickory Meets
Death In a Shocking Maimer.
Oscar Hoch, a voting man living at
West Hickory, Pa., met a tragic death
last Saturday night at t lie station at Tidi
oute, He had been at Tidioute In the af
ternoon and had returned to Hickory on
the evening train. Shortly afterward
meeting two other young men, Charles
Burdick and Warren Howoll, the
three jumped a fr Ight that was going
north, intending to get off at Tidioute.
When the train reached there it was go
ing at the usual rale of speed, not intend
ing to stop. Hoch's two companions
jumped ofr without difficulty, and they
saw him, or supposed liiey did, jmnpinu
oil, ho being on a car ahead of tin m.
They thought they saw hiui stumble. At
any rate, when they came to look for
Dim they found his mai gled remains
several rods further ou, having been
dragged a distance of nearly a hundred
feet from where the car caught him. One
ot the young man's legs was found al
most half a mile further up the track. It
is supposed he struck some object when
bo leaped from the moving train and
was thrown back under the wheels. The
remains were picked up and prepared
for burial, and were brought back to bis
bomo Sunday.
The unfortunate young man leaves a
mother and three brothers. He had for
some time been employed on the barge
yard opposite West Hickory, aud was an
industrious young fellow. His age was
about 23 years. The funeral was hold
