A new game, said to beat 'em all, has

According to the Dorrick's September
oil report 80S wells were completed In the
Pennsylvania field during the month,
with 1078 rigs and drilling wells, a gain
of six wells and a loss of 1329 barrels of
new production over the August report.
There was also a decline of 55 in new
work. Thus it will bo seen that while
there were more wells completed there
was a considerable loss in new produc
tion, Indicating that the wells were either
lighter in production or there were more
dry holes.
Since the chostnut timber and bark
has become a feature of the tanning bus
iness, and is being largely used for that
purpose and eagerly sought after by the
tanneries, the timber ha? raised wonder
fully In value, being picked up by large
and small speculators in every section.
Farmors haying chestnut timber on their
premises should consider themselves
fortunate, for an acre of land containing
chestnut trees is often more valuable
than all the rest of the farm put together.
It will be well lor them to look into the
matter before selling their timber to al
low some one else to speculate upon.
Young saplings are good as old trees and
rapidly grow into money if left standing.
Take good care ot your chestnut.
We are in no way anxious to get rid

Mr. and Mrs. Ous B. Evans, of Eu-
deavor, returned last week from a most
delightful outing in tho Georgian Bay
country, Canada, where they spent three
weeks, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. P.
L. Brennesholtz, of Buffalo. Their camp
was located 17 miles from Parry Sound,
and they had the pleasure of fishing on
eleven different lakes, the menfolk car
rying the light boats from one lake to the
other. Mr. Evans' description of their
trip and success with the rod and line is
calculated to make one's mouth water.
They caught an everageof 41 bass a day,
3 and 4-pounders, and about as gamey as
our Allegheny river kind. A number of
pike weighing from 5 to 12 pounds were
also taken, and in this delicious sport the
ladies fared fully as well as the men in
lauding the big fish, and they were per
mitted to bring a number of their finest
catches home with them.
It will please a whole lot of bis For
est county friends to learn that Mr. Oliver
Byerly, of Ostrander, Wash., has been
nominated by ihe Republicans of his

Assembly of that Stato, with every proR-
pect of election at tho coming November
contest. Mr. Byerly served a term as
commissioner of Forest county and left a
record for strict honesty and oloso atten
tion to the duties of the office that has
rarely been equaled, and his people in
the far west will find in hima representa

has served them a term they will have no
occasion to regret their choice. The Re-

Ten pickpockets, says the Derrick,
were "flagged" as they landed at the en
trance to Monarch Park on Thursday
and threoof them were locked up until
early next morning when they took the
train for PittBburg, which is their pres
ent headquarters, although their home is
the wide world. Seven ol the gang were
spotted in time to permit them to take an
afternoon train for Buffalo or Pittsburg
and they lost no time in faking the advice
of the officers to leave towu. The three
were discovered after the trains left for
these two towns and they were locked up
to prevent tho possibility of their doing
any work in either Franklin or Oil City
during the night. Their detection is duo
to the efficiency of sovoral detectives who
were brought on at the expense of Mr.
Sibley to prevent any of the vlstors at
the rally being robbed. Those officers
knew the men by sight as expert pick
pockets and thieves and the recognition"
was mutual. As they had not committed
any overt act they were not placed under
arrest. m

Court Convictions and Sentences.
On Thursday of last week, all the cases
on the criminal docket having been dis
posed of, court came to a sudden ending,
all of the causes on the civil list having
been continued.
When our report closed on Wednesday
morning the case of the Commonwealth
against Otis Sage, on the charge of t. and
b. was on trial. The defendant was con
victed and seutenced to pay a tine of J."0,
the cost 8 of prosecution, and pay to Mot
ile Mechan, the prosecutrix, the sum of
i-'A) for lying-in expenses. The child
having died, the defendant was released
from furlbei expense of maintenance,
etc.
The jury in the case of Rose Rosen, of
Marieuville, charged with assault and
battery, found the defendant not gui'ty,
but to pay one-half tbe costs, the prose
cution to pay the other half. The prose
cution set forth that in July, 1903, Mrs.
Rosen slapped Francis Smith, whom she
found fighting with her son, Sidney, both
being children.
In the case of Commonwealth against
Geo. R. Dawsnn, the ury rendered a ver
dict of guilty on the second and third
counts of the indictment, pointing fire
arms and assault aud battery. This case
grew out of a dispjte over Ihe building
of a line fence, tbe prosecutor being
James Elliot, who with his two sous,
were thus eugaged, when the dofendant
undertook to forcibly eject them. The
defendant, through his attorneys, se
cured, an arrest of judgment pending a
motion for a new trial, which will be dis
posed of at argument court, on the 20tb
of this month.
The grand Jury returned a true bill
against the road commissioners of Tio
nesta township for neglect to put tbe road
leading from J. C. Hoovler's on Hunter
Run, over tbe hill to Jamiesou Run, In
proper passable condition. .
The court on Thursday imposed the
following sentences:
James Higley, convicted of entering
tbe office of Sheriff Noblit and atte opt
ing to blow open the safe therein, was
sentenced to p iy the costs of prosecution,
$100 fine, and undergo imprisonment In
the penitentiary, in solitary confinement
at labor, for a period of six years. The
evidence of tbe prosecution went to show
that on July 22, 1903, tbe court house and
the Sheriff's office were broken open
and an effort made to blow open the
Sheriff's safe. The next morning the
sheriff followed tbe perpetrator, by the
peculiar track made by him in the soft
ground, to tbe mouth of Hunter Run
The latter found the prisoner cu ting ties
near the home of James Mclntyre on
Jamiesou Run. E. 12. Fleming testified
that on the night of July 22, there was
taken from his barn a satchel containing
dynamite caps, fuse, drills and engine
fittings. There was taken at the same
time, eight slicks of dynamite a quart of
glycerine aud a horse blanket. This
blanket was found the next morning in
tbe sheriffs office. That the Hughes
boys were working for him at that time
and knew where these things were stored
These boys were frequently seen at the
house ot Jim Mclntyre. Mrs. Nancy
Sterling testified that tbe defendant
uoarded at her house for 8 weeks. He
formerly boarded with lieu Lillibridge
with whom he quarreled. Higley said
he was going to blow up Lillibridge; that
he could do that as easily as he
bad blown up the safe at Tionesta. He
bad a brown satchel, 18 or 20 Inches long
with one clasp broken, Mr. Lewis Ster
ling testified that defendant had a satchel
with him. Tbe defendant said he could
blow up Hen Lillibridge as easy as he
did the court house safe at Tionesta. For
the defense, William Mclntyre testified
that Higley slept at his house on the
nlghtof the 22d of July, 1R03. Mrs. Rose
Mclntyre co'-roborated tbe testimony of
her husband, the last witness.
The Jury in the case of Carl Klabbatz,
of near Marienville, found tbe defendant
guilty of indecent assault, the prosecu-
trixes being bis own children, Mary, Ella
and Clara. The court imposed a fine of
$ 100, the costs of prosecution, and sen
tenced tbe defendant to one year's im
prisonment in tbe county jail.
GRAND JURY'S RKI'ORT.
The grand jury reports that they have
acted on ten bills of indictment, of which
seven were found true bills, and three
not true bills. We beg further to report
that we have visited and iuspecfod the
county buildings and find that they are
all iu good condition, except the Couuty
Poor House, and would recommend the
following repairs : That the cement peb
ble around tbe outside of tbe building be
taken off and pressed sheet steel be put
on in its place. Also that the ventilators
iu tbe bath room be fixed bo as to keep
the rain and snow from blowing in. Also
that the outside wood-work In the build
ing be painted uext spring. We also find
that the barn capacity is not sudiclent to
bold the crops and machinery necessary
to run the farm. Also we especially com
mend Mrs. Paup for the interior man
agement of the Home.
We also commeud the Commissioners
for placing the caunon on solid founda
tions. Also for the erection of tbe stairs
at tbe back of Ihe Court House.

There is a sort of counterfeit tailoring
that undertakes to pass for the real thing;
but when you place your order with F.E.
Dick you are sure of getting a fall or win
ter suit or overcoat that will have the
true tailoring stamp about it. We don't
know as carefully made garments cost
any more than the ill-fitting sort of
clothes, but they ought to, because they
look It. Mr. Dick has a magnificent line
of tbe now fall suitings and overcoatings.
The Rkpuiimcan has made arrange
ments whereby tne New York Tribune
Farmer can be supplied to old and new
