long distance. in smoke and dirt and

Judging from the followfng item
from the Brookvllle Democrat that town
is threatened with an epidemic of typhoid
fever; "There Is no cause for fright on
account of typhoid fever In Brookvllle,
So far as we have been able to learn there
are only a few cases, four or five, and all
are very mild oues. There seems to be
no danger of a fever epidemic at all. Tbe
few who are sick are all getting along
nicely, aud we believe the disease will
disappear in a few weeks."
An unknown and peculiar disease
has broken out among the horses in cer
tain parts of the country and the veteri
narians are at a loss how to treat them or
what is the cause of the affliction. The
disease, if it might be so termed, resem
bles a severe attack of the heaves, with a
loud rattle in the throat. The animal Is
prostrated and might as well be dead, as
it is useless to the owner. The State
Veterinarian is unable to offer relief and
owners of afflicted animals are greatly
worried.

the Interesting sport, Visitors to the

Krafts, and pickpockets were given the

that has a money value. Tbe College has
taken additional space, and tbe rooms are
being renovated throughout. Tbe out

larger enrollment than ever before.
The funny (?) man who does the base
ball for the Youogsville Citizen, at the
end of a loug article in answer to our re
marks last week on tbe Tionesta-Youngs-vllle
game, makes the tin-horn sport's
bluff about wanting to play on a neutral
ground, for the "gate receipts and any
side bet that is desired." Tbe Tionesta
manager desires us to say that if Youngs
vllle wants to come to Tionesta for a re
turn game and desires to play a gentle
man's game tbey will be accommodated,
for we know bow to do that. Now come
on, if you haven't got cold foet.

-Ten years ago a farmer put his ini
tials on a dollar, went to town and spent
it with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to him
for produce, and three times be beard of
it in the pockets of his neighbors, Tbe
last time be got It four years ago he sent
It to a mall order bouse. He hasn't seen
that dollar since and will not. That dol
lar will never pay any more school or
road tax for biin; will never build up or
brighten tbe bomes of the community.

Hon. C'adwallader Biddle, secretary
and general agent of the board of public
charities, aud Drs. J. N. Mitchell and
George I. McLeod of the State lunacy
commission, were here on Wednesday
last, and visited thejail and county home,
being on their semi annual Inspection of
the charitable and enrrectionary lnstitu
lions of Pennsylvania. They seemed to
be well pleased with the condition of
those Institutions In Finest county and
so expressed themselves freely. The
Derrick states that "Mr. Biddle and bis
associates found tbe hospitals at Oil City
and Frnklin in excelleut condition and
spoke in the highest terms of these Insti
tutions, both as to building, equipment
and management. He was equally com
mendatory of the Forest county jail and
poor farm, classing them as 'models.
Of the Franklin )nll hedoclared that there
was only ono worso than it in tho stale
and that was located in Craw ford county."
According to tbe very bot informa
tion obtainable we pass this way but
once, and when we step into tie valley of
tbe shadow, all our earthly belongings
will be left behind. Not a cow, nor a
sheep nor an acre of land, not a dollar of
money, will go Into tbe grave with us,
Wbython should men race through life
in a mad fight for gold, brushing all the
better things aside, when at the tomb?
Would It not be better to smile a little
and do a few good deeds as we go along?
Would it not be a better plan to put a
flower in tbe band of some sad-hearted
human being struggling along tbe road of
life, than to clinch to the almighty dollar
until death forced us to relinquish It?
Isaac Reed, one of the oldest inmates
of the State hospital at North Warren,
died on Friday last. He was sent from
this county to tbe Institution upward of
30 years ago. Until a short time prior to
his incarcerstion he bad been a quiet,
harmless, though considerably demented
Individual, and had made his home in
this community as early as 18tffl, or there
abouts. He was lame tor many years
from an Injury to one oj" his legs, sus
tained by being hit with a piece of an old
exploding cannon which be bad ''touched
off" on a Fourth of July morning long
years ago, and always after claimed that
the piece of cannon bad gone through bla
shin bone. Reed was aged about 75
years. He was buried in the hospital
burial plot.
-There are a great many more deaths
from beat than from cold, at least the
sudden deaths number moro. We pay
attention to low temperature and guard
against it, but the science of comfortable
Hying in hot weather Is badly neglected.
Especially do infants suffer because of
this ignorance, Tbe old-fashioned idea
that a child must be bundled up in mid
summer costs many a little life and keeps
many a parent awake trying to quiet a
fretful child who Is making a perfectly
natural and proper protest against being
swathed in hot woolen blankets when It
ought to be clothed mostly in Its own In
nocence. Savage people know enough to
let the new arrivals crawl about freelv
and thus get eftercise, and they allow
them to keep as cool as possible In their
very light garments of bare skin.
Henry Harrison Evana, In his 77tn
year, died at his home in Tidioute, Pa.,
on Tuesday, July 18. He was boin in
Chautauqua county, N. Y., October 26,
182S, going with his parents when a child
to Cochran ton, Pa., where he was engaged
in the cabinet making business for some
years and where be was married to Mary
A. Kemble, Jan. 1, 1852. In 1856 be re
moved to Tidioute, which was bis borne
from that year until bis death. He built
the first sidewalk in Tidioute and for
some time maintained a free school at bis
own expense and had served for 12 years
as a director of the Tidioute schools and
for nine years was postmaster at that
place. He was a member of the Masonic
fraternity for the past 45 years and the
last surviving charter member of lodge
No. 412, F. A A. M. Mr. Evans' first
wife died ia 1880. He was again married
in 1888 to Mrs. Cordelia Jackson, wtio
survives. He is also survived by
two suns and two daughters Mrs.
G. W. Warden and Gus B. Evans, of En
deavor, Pa,; Mrs. Alice M. Smith, of
New York City, and W. P. Evans, of
Charlestown, W. Va. Tbe deceased was
one of Tidioute's most highly esteemed
and honorable citizens, and will be
missed by a large circle of friends. Tbe
funeral services were held Thursday and
the interment was in charge of the Ma
son lo fraternity.
Picnic at Fox Creek.
The W. C. T. U. of Nebraska, have a
program of social meetings lor this year,
one for each month. We think oneof the
best was enjoyed last Friday, when tbey
picnicked at Fox Creek, with Mrs. E. L.
Dewoody as hostess. Our excursion car
was a bark rack, made very comfortable
by the addition of seats, and witb well
tilled baskets about lorty-tbree tourists
got aboard. Arriving at our destination
we proceeded to spread the feast in the
cool, pleasant dining room, finding it
more agreeable than the woods. Our
hostess supplemented the bill of fare
with ice cream and coffee, and with her
daughters, the Misses Lottie and Nellie,
did everything for our comfort and pleas
ure. After dinner Mr. Dewoody gave us
the use of one of the logging engines, and
under the piloting of engineer John
Gold, we spent an hour In traveling over
the log road and its branches. This was
a most enjoyable trip, the road going
from the mouth of Fox Creek to within
sight of Golinzs. But to any one who
baa eyer gone into the heart of tbe forest,
among tbe ferns sod wild flowers, fur
ther description is unnecessary. Return
ing to Fox Creek, the members ol tbe
Union assembled in the parlor and after
a short business session, listened to reci
tations and a song by Miss Editb Desh
ner. Witb a vote of thanks to Mr. and
Mrs. Dewoody, the tired but still jolly
party returned borne. Among those
present from a distance were: Mr. Ned
Secor, of the U. 8. Marine Corps; Mr.
Chas. Kreitler, of Troy, N. Y.; Misses
Lillian and Edith Deshner, of New Ro
chelle, N. Y., and Mrs. J. B. Hagerty, of

The average man does not save to ex

must spend nine dollars In living ex

about unnecessary expenses. Very olten
a few cents properly iuvestod, like buy

dollars outlay later on. It Is the same in

Big Lumber Firm Finishes Up.
The extensive lumbering concern of
Wagner A Wilson, located near Marien
ville, closed down for good on Saturday,
July 15, having sawed the last log at
10:45 in the forenoon of that day, when a
long blast from tbe mill whistle an
nounced tbe passing of the firm's business
In that locality. The first operations at
that place were conducted by Haskell A
Co., 15 years ago, the plant and timber
passing into the bands of tbe present firm
some two years later and tbey have con
tinued up to tbe present time, or until
all tbe merchantable timber was exhaust
ed. During these years they have taken
the timber off6,500 acres of land, and have
produced In the meantime an aggregate
120,000,000 of lumber, 95 per cent, of
which has been hemlock. In tbe begin
ning of their operations and for some
years' lator hemlock sold at $6.50 per
thousand feet; but during the past seven
or eight years has been bringing from
$13.00 to $15,00. In a brief history pub
lished in tbe Express of last week tbis
rather extraordinary statement occurs:
"Itais remarkable and a source of great
satisfaction to the owners that there has
not been one serious accident in the mill
or on the property since they owned It,
and 'be men are equally proud that there
bas never been a strike or any serious la
bor trouble. This is a record of which
both sides may justly be proud,"
Tbe passing of tbis firm is a serious
blow to the business interests of Marien
ville, but as the change was inevitable In
tbe very nature of thiugs, and therefore
no surprise, tbe town was prepared for
tbe shock, which was not so -great as it
might otherwise have been.
Mr. George Wagnor, the senior member
of tbe firm, and who bas personally su
perintended the work of taking the tim
ber from the stump, converting it into
lumber and selling the same during
these years, bas determined to take a
much needed rest, aud with bis wife has
set sail for Wurtomberg, Germany, their
old home in the Fatherland, where they
will spend a couple of months very pleas
antly among friends and scenes of their
childhood.
