This la what might well be termed
the muddy season. At any rate it's about
the muddiest that It could well be, and
the roads seem to be almost bottomless,

State Fish Commissioner Meehan has
Issued a warning to trout fishermen. He
states that the season will not open le
gally until Monday, April 16. All persons
found Ashing on Sunday preceding this
date will be prosecuted for having In pos
session llsh caught out of season, not for
a violation of the Sabbath law, says an
exchange. Now, this assurance la posi
tively important, as it will greatly relieve
the tension that would otherwise be on
us editors, for while we are attending
Sunday school and other religious duties
the thought that the other crowd may be
out enjoying the first fruits of the t rout
ing season might greatly detract from the
wholesome lessons we're wont to ponder
over. 'Tis well that Mr. Meehan is going
to catch every blarsted outlaw and pun
ish him severely.
A gradual sentiment opposing the
card of thanks, which almost Invariably
appears In local papers on the death of a
friend or relative, la rapidly becoming
apparent, says an exchange. To make
public display of your grateful senti

Bick and burying the dead and have only
performed their duty, la at all times bad
form aud grates harshly on the nerves or
a refined and sensitive nature. When
persona visit afflicted or bereaved fami
lies, or otherwise render assistance, tbey
do so with the kindest of inten lions and
are not looking for or expecting a public
avowal of gratitude. A siucere and per
sonal expression of thanks Is ever so
much more effective and impressive, and
accomplishes far more than a public dem
onstration in journals.
The Pennsylvania State Association
for the Abolition of tbe School Tax was
organized at Erie Monday of last week.
Tbe object of tbe association is to have
the State assume the entire cost of main
taining the common schools, thereby re
lieving farm and home owners of a heavy
burden of taxation. Besides its olflcers
the organization consists of an executive
committee and a general State committee,
to be selected one from each county. The
movement has been endorsed by numer
ous clubs, granges and prominent per
sons, and tbe proposition is at once a
popular one. The State now psys nearly
one-half tbe expense of keeping up the
schools, and could easily assume tbo
whole burden with just a trifle added to
tbe taxation of corporations that are
amassing great fortunes yearly,
Ex-Sheriff G. W. Noblit and County
Supt. D. W. Morrison closed a deal a
few days ago for the purchase of the

was made from Samuel Crawford, a for
nior lumberman at Pigeon, this county,
but of late years extensively engaged in
tbe lumber business at Cedar River,
Micb. It la estimated that there is over
two million feet of maple, beech and
birch and about a million feet of hemlock
yet standing on tbe tract, only tbe best
of tbe hemlock being taken oil iu the
first cutting. Messrs. Nubl it aud Morri
son will let a contract at once for sawing
this timber, the mill to be located ou

of the moverneut to commemoiate tbe
first oil well by erecting a mouument on
tbe site. Tbe Titusville Herald cham
pions the project and presents good ar
ments in its favor. The Drake well was

A death of peculiar sadness, aud one
which has cast a gloom over the com
munity in whicb it occurred, was that of
Mrs. Beatty, wife of Frank H. Bealty,
of Endeavor, Pa., on Friday evening last,
aged 28 years. Her illness was of short
duration, lasting less than a week, but
was of a serious and painful nature from
tbe start, and failed to yield to treatment.
In the hope of saving tbe patient an
operation was performed by Drs. Mor
row, of West Hickory, and O'Day, of Oil
City, on Friday, but the progress of the
trouble a ruptured bowel bad beeu so
rapid that there was no hope of restora
tion. Mrs. Beatty was a woman of su
perior excellence, greatly beloved by all
who knew her, and her taking thus in
tbe prime of life leaves an aching void
in a large circle of friendships. The bus
band and two small boys, bo suddenly
bereft of a loving wife and mother, have
tbe heartfelt sympathy of the whole com
munity in this dark hour. On Monday
morning a special train on tbe Hickory
Valley road brought the funeral parly to
tbe west side, where tbe early P. R. R.
train was met, and the remains were
conveyed to Brookville, the former home
of tbe deceased, where the interment took
place.

Tbe body of the man found floating in
the Allegheny river at East Brady Sun
day afternoon of last weok, was exhumed
aud Identified as that of Fowler Camp
bell, formerly assessor in Fairview town
ship, Butler county. Tbe Campbell
family, bearing of the matter and learn
ing ol some close points of resemblance
to tbe missing man, asked that the coffin
should be raised. Tbe identification was
found by moans of scars on the right foot
and the chin, and a pocket knife. Camp,
bell disappeared last November. It Is
supposed that he committed suicide while
temporarily insane. If this is true it is
not at all likely that he had been in the
water since last November, else there
could scarcely be any identification. If
it was a case of suicide by drowning the
probability is that Campbell had been
wandering about until a few weeks ago.

Colville, Wash., April 3, 1906.
En. Republican: March 5th we left
West Hickory, Pa., for the state of Wash
ington and arrived at Colville, Wash.,
March 101b, at about two o'clock p. m. I
was a little surprised to find tbe weather
so cold. The temperature was nearly
zero. The people all claim it was the
worst there has been this winter, or that
they ever knew at this time of year.
Tuesday morning, March 13th, I started
out to look for a claim ou government
land. I found the country quite billy,
being about tbe same as Pennsylvania
along the Allegheny river, running a lit
tle more to round peaks, witli a few
mountains in sight. After traveling over
these hills for abou'. three days I located
a homestead on the Pend Oreille river.
My claim takes In the great Trilby Fall,
one-half milo on each side of the river,
with a fall of about one hundred and fifty
feet, including one leap of seventy feet.
This is a narrow stream fed by numer
ous small lakes about twenty miles above
the falls. The falls aro about fourteen
miles from Colville.

ure; no whitewash; no nothing. We
know what Is; what is not is the question.
