Crushed Beneath Car Wheels.
A shocking accident, by which Ivan

M. McCullougb, of Nebraska, was In
stantly k tiled on the 8. it T. railroad near
Hastings occurred about 11 o'clock on
Friday morulng. The young man had
taken the place of the regular baggage
man, A. H. Hunter, who was acting as
conductor during the Illness of Conductor
Holmes. On the return trip from Shef
field to Kellettville, and when the train
lad passed Hastings station, the baggage
car gave a BUduen lurcn smewise inrow-
ng tbe young mau backward out of
the side door, which stood open, against
a steep embankment which in turn threw
him forward and directly under the
wheels, which passed over his bead,
crushing 11 in a shocking manner. Con
ductor Hunter, who was in the car, but
not close enough to catch aud save the
boy from falling out, stopped the train at
once, and tlie body was laaen 10 nis
home at Nebraska.
The community was greatly stirred
over this distressing accident, lor ine
young man was a general favorite among
the people. He was born at Nebraska,
June 14, 1890, and had resided there all
bis life. Impressive funeral services
were held at the Nebraska M. E. church

Resignation of Iter. Dr. Slonaker.
At the close of tbe services at tbe Pres
byterian church on Sabbath morning
Rev. Dr. Slonaker read bis Ibrmal resig
nation as pastor of the church, the same
to take effect the last Sunday in October,
28th prox, It has been kuown for some
time that the pastor contemplated this
courae, and that a call to the pastorate of
the Presbyterian church of Brock way ville
Jefferson county, had been extended to
him. In bis remarks on the subject Dr.
Slonaker spoke fealingly of the pleasant
relations that had existed between him
self aud his congregation during his pas
torate of a year and a half, and he gave as
tbe only reason for asking his release the
conviction that he could be of greater uso
in his new field of labor. His reference
to the uniform kindness of bis people to
ward himself aud bis family touched the
hearts of all, the breathless Bllence which
pervaded the church as tbe able minister
tcuched upon these matters evidencing
that both pastor and people were moved
alike by the prospective "parting of the
ways." Dr. Slonaker ia without doubt
one of the ablest ministers in the Clarion
Presbytery, and while his people part
with him with much reluctance they at
tbe same time extend congratulations to
the congregation to which be goes upon
securing such an able divine as their fu
ture spiritual shepherd. Mrs, Slonaker,
who has lugratiated horself in the hearts
of all our people during the family's res
idence in Tionesta, will be greatly miss
ed by the ladies ot our town generally,
and by those connected with the church
societies in particular. May their new
home and field of labor prove a pleasant
one may tbe lines fall unto them in
pleasant places.
At the congregational meeting Monday
evening, called for the purpose, the con
gregation unanimously voted to join with
Dr. Slonaker in asking Presbytery to of
ficially dissolve tbe pastoral relations ex
isting since February, 1905. Services
will be continued as hert fore either by
the present pastor or supply until the
23th of next month.
Death of Mrs. Hugh Miles.
Funeral services in memory of Mrs
Hugh Miles were held at the home near
Fagundus at 1 o'clock Friday afternoon,
In charge of the Rev. 8. F. Marks, of
Tidioute. Interment was niade In the
Tidioute cometery. Mrs. Miles was 82
years of age aud her fuueral occurred
upon the 85th birthday of her husband,
She died, ou Wednesday last of the In
firmities of age. Mrs. Miles was an
aunt of our former townspeople, Mr. and
Mrs. O. F. Miles.
The death of this excellent lady rocalls
the notorious robbery still fresh in the
memory of the people of this section. It
was four years last Saturday that tbe
aged couple figured in this sonsational
affair at their home n.ar Fagundus. Mr.
Miles was in the barn milking, whou he
was surprised by a gang of thugs, beaded
by tbe notorious Tom MoMahon and Tom
Gallagher, brolbers-in-law. He was
taken into the house and he and his wife
were securoly tied while the safe which
they kept in thoir living room was opened
and ransacked. Bedding was torn open
and a thorough search of the premises
was made, under the supposition that
the old people had considerable hidden
wealth. The robbers secured less than
J100 in money, together with some watch
es and an old army revolver. The latter
was their undoing. They were tracked
along the line of the Pennsylvania rail
road to Oil City, where McMahon was
arrested. The others escaped. Gallagher
was later shot and badly wounded In the
attompled robbery of the aged Load
brothers, cattle drovers of ElyriH, Ohio.
Ho was captured and sentenced to tho

Pakis, September 1, 1000. J
Editor Repuhi.ican: The weather
since the first of August baa been unus
ually warm for Paris and our party has
been very quiet. The French people
have not the art of making themselves
comfortable In hot weather, so that what
Americans consider a moderately high
temperature is difficult to endure. The
nights are always cool aud we have found
blankets a necessity almost every night.
I wish your readers might all have
seen a Fete of the French Provinces given
last month under the auspices ot a so
ciety for the study and preservation of
provincial aits aud custom', in IheTuil
eries gardens. Some 250 peasants fiom
Brittany, Provence, Alsace, Niyernuis,
Plcardy and other districts, In the full
holiday costumes of their provinces, took
part, giving the ancient folksongs, poems,
music and dances. It was a beautiful
and interesting spectacle with its setting
of the great trees, fountains, flowers and
marbles of the gardens of the Tuiieries.
Discussion of tbe Dreyfus affair has
subsided, but the Popo's encyclical, the
separation of the church and state, the
refusal of Harab Bernhardt as a candidate
for tbe decoration of the Legion of Honor,
aud the "repos hebdomadaire," a law re
cently enacted, requiring the giving of a
day of rest each week to all employes,
furnish plenty of material for hot and
angry argument. For the French jour
nals, Instead of editorials as in our pa
pers, literary meu write long articles
upon any subject or public iuterast, sign
ing their names in full.
My daughter aud I having decided to
slay in Paris for some time, we have been
apartment hunting recently, and it is an
interesting experience. Paying the small
rent is only a beginning. The doors,
windows and chimneys must be paid for
iu addition, also a variety of city taxes,
the carpet on the stairs of the public
halls, and the ronciorge, especially the
last, for on him all oomlort depends. One
does not insure one's furniture, but that
of the tenant on the next floor above.
What happens to the occupant of the
"sky parlor" I do not know. The fire
department belongs to tbe army, and the
firemen being drawn from the men serv
ing for three years only, they never be
come proficient, but as there la seldom a
fire in Paris it seems to matter very little.
I went last week to engage a gas stove
and gas for the kitchen, and it required
Just half au hour, Five meu wrote up
my case in five great books, I signed six
official looking documents, petitioned tbe
Prefect of Police and the Commissary of
the city, whatever he may be, for tbe
privilege of using gas, paid seveuty-two
cents for Btarops for the papers, and if all
goes well in three weeks tbe gas will be
ready for use. Kate C. Dcnn.

place of meeting was unanimously voted
Tionesta, and the date fixed for Tuesday,
Sept. 10, a07. Comrade D. W. Clark, of
Tionesta, was unanimously elected Pres
ident of the association for the ensuing
year, aud Comrade D. B. Foote, the pres

other torm. When we take one look
over the remnants of that once heroic
body of men who went forth at their
country's call in 1801-2-youug, spry
brave and full of life, alas, cau we draw
the line, so great (he contrast? Seethe
bent form, the tottering limbs, the empty
sleeve, the absent foot, the voodeu leg,
the wrinkled brow. We are remiuded
that soon they must all attend the last
"roll call."
Age on age shall roll along,
O'er this pale and mighty throng;
Here tbe sword and sceptre rust,
Earth to earth, and dust to dust.

Go id Clotboa? What a quostion! The man who does not is either a
pessimist, crank, miser or brute, ami tho world does not trot in that class.
Clothes do not make I lie man no, nor does a line house make a good home,
but the world judges from tho exterior the interior bolougs to the individ
ual, where he must build his own salvation. Meu are too often judged by
appearances', it is wrong, but who can change the custom? Young men
Bhould tlu-reforo see to it that their outward appearance is in accordance
with the doniands of the limes. There is no excuse for any one wearing ill
fitting clothes in these days.
Take for instance our $10 and 812 Suits, have more style and fit better,
nine times out of ten, than any of the so-called "tailor-made" suits that are
mado out of town at 815, 81Hor $20, and we know the cloth aud trimming
is as good in every instance, so why pay for something you don't get? And
who can't afford a 810 nr $1- suit once a year at least?
