-In a recent case before the Franklin
county court Judge Stewart made a com
prehensive statement as to the duly of
township commissioners in the matter of
keeping the public roads in order, which
applies to portions of Forest county with
considerable force. "It is the duty of
Commissioners," declared the Judge, "to
keep the roads iu good condition without
fear of consequences, political or other
wise They are not to bo deterred from
that duty because the performance of it
might necessitate an increase of taxes.
The odlco of road commissioner has suf
ficient power to put his township under
obligations to him lor the good service he
may perform by building roads that shall
be what the law Intends them to be."
This is wholesome admonition and con
forms entirely to the purpo' e of the law.
The action of Judge C, A. Mayer,
presiding over the Elk county courts, in
setting free Francisco Topalo, and virtu
ally dtclaring him innocent ol crime,
may cause some discussion as to the pro
priety of declaring the man Innocent, but
It has saved the county the cost of a mur
der trial, and probably simply antici
pated the verdict of a jury. Topalo is the
man who wreaked swift vengenco on
Sainico Kellegramo, at Cardiff recently,
by shooting him dead for the deliberate
murder of his wife. Court happened to
bo in session when he was brought to the
county jail for trial, and Topalo was
brought before Judge Mayer on the 25th
on a writ of habeas corpus, ami the Judge
ordered him discharged. It is said that
Judge Mayer declared be would not have
a man tried for such an act In bis court
virtually declaring that Topalo did just
right in slaying the man who bad delib
erately murdered his wife without a par
ticle of excuse for his awful act. Ridg

One of the fow landmarks recalling
tho earlier oil excitement when Pettol
euin Center was a flourishing city of
some 15,000 or 20,000 inhabitants is being
removed, the old school house, which
was erected when the place was at its
bost, says the Derrick. Tho builditig Is
of two stories, 00 by 40 feet in diameter,
and contained lour school rooms, which
for a year or two were crowded daily
during the school term. Last year ono
of the rooms was more than enough to ac
comodate the lew children who attended
from that vicinity and as a matter of
economy in fuel aud keeping up the big
barracks-like school bouse, it was deter
mined to tear It down. When the old
school house was new the town supported
a first class bank installed in a brick
luiiiliii:r. Innumerable saloons mid sev
eral good hotels. Near by was the fa
mous Columbia oil farm, with its own
brasH hand and various other social mid
fraternal organizations, and tho Oil creek
valley from tho Center to 'litusviilo was
an almost continuous network of small
setilemeiits around tho oil developouient.

STITZIXiER NOT SUSTAINED.
Judge Weiss Overrules Exceptions To
Decree Takeu By His At
torney. Last week's Viudicator published an
article taken from the Harrisburg Pa
triot the beading of which gave an alto
gether erroneous impression of the sub
ject matter of the article. The facts in the
case, as a reading of the article will dis
ci oso to any one with common sense, are
just the opposite to what the heading
would imply, and clearly show that Mr.
Stitzinger was not sustained. While the
defendant, Mr Stitzinger, through bis at
torney, did fib objections to the decree of
the Dauphin county court, the objections
were overruled and the court's decree
stands, and the money which properly
belongs to the several school districts of
the county will be forth coming sooner
or later. Following Is the article referred
to:
"Judge Weiss on Thursday morning
overruled the exception to the decree of
the court which was filed May i, 1904,
and which directed Elmer E. Stitzinger,
Superintendent of Schools of Forest
county, to refund to the various school
districts of the county $1,000 which had
been paid to him in excees of his salary
and enjoined Dr. Nathan C. Schaeffer,
Superintendent of Public Instruction
from paying to Superintendent Stitzinger
any salary until the money was re
luudcd ; alio that Dr. Schaeffer pay to
tho school districts ol Forest county $j00
of thoir appropriation which he had with
held because of the non-payment of the
salary together with the $1,000 paid to
Professor Stitzinger. The case was an
action brought by Wm. Richards, J. C.
Scowdeu, Edward Kiser, W. G. Morrow,
Isiah Cassatt, J. C. Welsh, G. F. Watson,
C. F. Ledabur, school directors of Forest
county against Dr. Schaeffer and Profes
sor Stitzinger to restrain the former from
paying any salary to Professor Stitzinger
until he refunds f 1,000 which he received
in excess ol his salary during his term
from 1309 to 1000 and to compel Dr.
Schaeffer to pay to them $1,500 which he
held from their share of the school fund
by reason of the excessive payment.
Exceptions to the decree ordering tho de
fendants to pay the money to the direct
ors were filed by Prof. Stitzinger who al
leged that the directors in convention on
May 2, 180!), had fixed his salary at $1,500
per annum and that the court erred in
tindiugthat the defendaut must relund
the money which he alleges was paid in
accordance with the action of the coven
tion." Harrisburg Patriot.

Secor Klinestiver.
An event which marked an epoch in
the social annals of tho picturesque little
town of Nebraska, this county, was con
summated at the borne of Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. Klinestiver, Sr., last Thursday, Juno
0th, I'Mti, when their daughter. Miss Em
ma Emstena Amelia, was united In mar
riage with San ford II. Secor, or Shellield,
Pa. The hour for the ceremony was set
for high noon, and by that time all the
guests, numbering upward of a hundred,
were comfortably dispersed throughout
the spacious parlors of this pleasant
home. At 11:55 Prof. Judd, of Sheffield,
touched the notes of a soil and pleasing
air on the piano, apprising the frieuds
that the moment for the ceremony was
approaching, and while the clock was
striking the hour of twelve, and the sweet
strains of the wedding march softly
floated out, the bridal party entered
through the arched parlor doors and was
met by the officiating clergy nan, Rev.
If. A. Ellis, of Shellield. First came the
groom, supported by his "best man,"
Mr. Fred Klinestiver, brother of the
bride, followed by tho bridesmaids,
Miss Marie Ballentine and Miss Blanche
Mae Pease. Next came the bride, carry
ing a bouquet of bride's roses, and
leaning ou the arm of her brother, Mr.
Harry Klinestiver, who"gave her away."
The bridal station was under a canopy of
smilax centered with pink carnations,
the corner being banked by potted ferns
and tropical plants. As tho couple as
sumed their places they formed a union,
as it were, between two great hearts that
were festooned in smilax on the windows
on either side, thus forming a picture of
lovliness that fascinated and rivited all
eyes upon them. The bride wore a gown
of white Bilk chiffon over white silk. The
bridesmaids were gowned in white chif
fon trimmed with lace. The beautiful ring
ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal
church was employed in joining the hap
py hearts in wedlock, and as the minister
advanced to speak the words the whis
perings were hushed, and amid the still
ness of the moment the impressive ser
vice was beautifully consummated. Pret
ty complimouts and hearty congratula
tions were showered upon the couple,
who now stood iu a new and happier re
lation to one another, and one tin regen
erate chap astounded the groom by kiss
ing the bride, while, to even up, one of
the ladies plauted a good big snack upon
tho lips of the amazed groom.
The wedding breakfast, served under
the direction of Miss Bessie Cook and
Miss Ida Ledebur, by the bride's Sunday
school class of young ladies in while, was
iu all points in harmony with the other
splendid features of toe occasion, the
bride's table being a revelation in dainti
ness aud beauty.
At three o'clock the bride and groom
took leave of their friends amidst a
shower, cr more properly speaking, a
downpour of rice, old shoes, brooms aud
godspeeds, and were driven to the sta
tion at Tionesta, where they boarded the
afternoon train for a ten days' pleasure
trip, which will include Philadelphia,
New York, a steamer voyage up the ro
mantic Hudson, and a few days at Mon
tecello, N. Y., where the groom has rela
tives living.
Upon their return tbey will reside at
Shellield, where a nicely furnished home
awaits their arrival, aud where both have
a host ol friends who will extend them a
royal welcome.

ono of Forest county's choicest girls.
Graduating with honors from the Clarion
State Normal School, she took up the
work of teaching, and has been looked
upon as one ol the leaders in her chosen
profession. A girl of rare good sense and
pleasing ways, she has greatly endeared
herself to her large circle of friends, who
think the lucky groom is to be doubly
congratulated on winning so rare a prize
as an helpmeet.
It would be unjtst to our readors wero
we to close without some reference to the
magnificent array of presents to the bride.
A prettier display could scarcely be pic
tured. Solid silverware, cut glass, china,
linen, and many pretty works of art,
charmed the admiration of all who gazed
upon them. As a mark of tho esteem in
which tho bride is held in the communi
ty in which she was reared, work at the
large lumbering plant at Nobraska was
suspended during the afternoon, and
Superintendent Watson of the S. t T.
Railroad, brought a special car down
from Kellettville to convey the guests
from that vicinity to and from the wed
ding. May good fortune, hoaltb and happi
ness attend this worthy young couple all
their days upon earth, is the fervent wish
ol their many frieuds, and In which wish
the Rkpublican joins most heartily.

were: Rev. II. A. Ellis, Prof. C, E. Judd,
Mrs. Frances Secor, Miss Etta Whipple,
