A current news item states that the Pennsylvania railroad "has decided that all employes, ..xeept the olllce forces, must be attired in uuiformsdnringwork ing hours, and this year will witness the donning of uniforms by employes of de partments where this rule has never been enforced. The adoption of uniforms is lo be effected gradually, and is already well under way." The public in general is not so much concerned about uniformed employes as It Is about the time that the Pennsylvania and all other railroads in the state intend to resume the sale of 1000-mile books without the extraordi nary 10-dollar deposit. It is quite likely that the next legislature will place cent-a niilo law where it will do the most good, and that the adoption of such rate will be effected, not "gradually," but with utmost promptitude. A souvenir postal card from Rev. C, , Rumberger, who has been sojourning at St. Augustine, Florida, conveys tbe pleasing news that his trip has greatly benefited him and that be will soon start for home quite a well man.

The fish mentioned 1b photographed against the side of a house, and its length covers four of the six-Inch weather boards, making it easily 23 inches long, and a very handsome specimen. Rev. W. O.

During tbe mix-up Mr. Calhoun was tnrown irom me rig, sustaining a dislocation of tbe right shoulder and a severe bruising In general. As soon as help could be procured he was brought to bis home bere, where Dr. Dunn re placed the shoulder. He Is confined to the house at present, but is resting easy and will soon be about as usual. The others with him were not injured. The horse kicked hersoll free from the sleigh, hioh was considerably used up, and was captured a short distance down the road. Aftor a good deal of study and work, says a wise old philosopher, we have at last figured out why so many country ed itors get rich. Here is tho secret of suc cess: A child Is born In the neighbor hood; the attending physician gets $ 10; the editor gives the loud-lunged youngs ter and the "happy parents" a send-off and gets 0. It is christened; the minis ter gets $10, and tbe editor gets $00. It grows up and marries; the editor pub lishes another long-winded, flowery arti- and tells a dozen lies about the "beau- PERSONAL. I t il'u I aud accomplished bride;" the min ister gets $10 aud a piece of cako, and the editor gets $000. In the course of time it dies, and the doctor gets from $25 to $100, the minister goto, perhaps,' another $15, the undertaker gets from $r0 to $100; the editor publishes a notice of the death and an obituary two columns long, lodge aud society resolutions, a lot of poetry and a free card of thanks, aud gets $IHKK). No wonder so many editors get rich. Spring Millinery Opening. Next Tuesday evening end all day Wednesday, April 3d and 4th, Miss Rose Harrison willbave her Spring millinery opening.

Robert (Jiiiton, a Worthy Pioneer of the Forest, Pusses Away at 01 Tears. Robert G niton Was born near Bakers vllle, Pa., May 15, 1815, and died at bis home in Guitonville, Forest county, Pa., March 20, 1006, after an Illness of less than a week, caused by the infirmities of old age. When a boy twelve years of age he accompanied his perentsto the new home thoy had selected In the wilderness which was located about a mile from where Golinza now stands. Fifty years ago he moved to tbe farm where he has siuce re' sided, which at that time was near bis favorite bunting ground. Here be erect ed a large log bouse which subsequently was covered with clapboards and remains today a comfortable and substantial structure. In the Bitting room the mod ern stove was nover allowed to supplant the fireplace, and In late years Mr. Qui ton was accustomed to pile a generous supply of wood on the coals and spend hours In Its genial warmth. Doubtless, as he watched the flames reducing the logs to coals and ashes ho saw also the Visions of other days, the virgin forest disappear, tbe game, which once was so plentiful almost at his door, extermi nated, and the friends of bis youth oum bered with the dead. His wife died in 1879 after a long and painful illness. For the past few months he has been under tbe continuous care of his son Robert, Jr., who made his home with him. The fun eral service was held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the school bouse, conduct ed by Rev. W. O. Calhoun, and bis body laid to rest beside that of his wife in the cemetery a few rods from his homo. He is survived by his five children, Mrs. Ellen Butler, of Tylersburg, Mrs. Alice Stockdalo, of Kingsville, Pa., John, of Marienville, Daniel aud Robert (Jake) ol Guitonville. The kuowledge of bis death will bring a sense of loss to many iu this and adjoining counties who were ac quaiuteil with him. While of a quiet and retiring disposition, he won and kept friends and prided himselt tbat be was without an enemy. For years lie was a famous btinter, trapper and guide, and was familiar with'every stream, hill and valloy in the county. As a boy he hunt' ed with an old Hint-look rifle, and with that ancient weapon won many a trophy of the forest. More bear, doer, wolves. panther and f mailer game were killed by hi ui than by any other man in this part of the slate. When in the prime of life his aim was so accurate that he seldom missed a shot. It is related of him that one day leaving home with ten balls, be returned with two deer aud eight wild turkeys. Twice in a single day he killed nine deer, once with a single barreled mufele-loading rifle, and upon the other occasion using. a double-barreled gun. About fifty years ago be succeeded in killing ninety-five deer in a single season. On one occasion be shot a deer and being without a knife be dressed tbe animal with a flint-stone, which doubtless bad once done similar service in tho band of an Iudian. He was a man of powerful physique, well qualified to withstand bis life of exposure and hardship. Once be found himself facing a large buck and wi'hout his gun. Seizing a stone he burled it with such force and precision that the animal fell dead at his feet, and the stone with which he killed it was kept until bis death as a memento of those stirring days. Mr. Gultou was among the last of the original settlers of this county. A biography of bis life would be a gem ot absorbing interest aud a pity it is that such could not have been written in his day. Wheu two or three more are gone, the life of hardship tbey endured will be known to us only through the history and tradition banded down from those distant years. The men who made possible our life of comparative ease are sleeping In the city ol the dead. "Peace to tboir ashes." I'laringloti.

Former Forest County Citizen Suicides LaVerne Ralston, omployed at the plant of the Producers' Supply company of franklin, committed suicide last Wednesday. He was the night fireman, and his dead body was discovered In tbe morning by a machine worker who went to the boiler room to ascertain why there was not enough steam to run tbe ma chinery, Ralston had made sure of bis attempt at self-destruction. From the gas engine room be had taken a long sec tion of rubber hose and attached it to a jet Beven feet from the floor of the boiler room. The other end, to which was at' tached a small pipe, he ran up under bis vest almost to his neck. Thon, to pre- vent the fumes from escaping, be threw bis under coat up over bis bead in the form of a hood, covering bis face with his overcoat. Turning on the gas, be ev idently lay down on the floor, with a brick carefully wrapped iu a piece of burlap for a pillow. The cause of the dead man's rash act was his infatuation with a woman whom be had introduced as his wife, and who spumed bim when be attempted to have an interview with her tbejight before. Ralston has a wife, and son aged about five years, living in Ashtabula, Ohio, with her parents. The wife has been In ill health for some time, and was for a while in the asylum at North Warren. Ralston was 28 years of age and was born iu Crawford county, near Troy Center. He was the son of Hope P. Ralston, a resident near Kellett ville, Kiugsley township, and had lived at Tidioute, Warren, Hickory and Titus ville before going to Oil City in Decem ber, 1005. When a young man he also made his home in Tionesta for a time. The funeral was held in Franklin Friday, the body being interred in the cemtory of that city. Rudolph D. Howard, one of Franklin's best known and highly esteemed citizens committed suicide at an early hour Mon day morning of this week at bis home, in a manner almost indentical with that of Ralston, having doubtless gotten bis Ideas from reading the accounts in the newspapers. The unfortunate man bad suffered for several months with acute melancholia. Ilia wile survives him. Hon. W. C. Arnold Dies Suddenly. Many warm friends iu Forest county of former Congressman W. C. Arnold, of DuBois, Pa., will boar with much regret of his death, which occurred while ou a business trip to Muskegon, Mich., Tues day, March 20, 1000.
