The well near the old Hunter grist
mill, on the West Side, mentioned in our
last Issue, bids fair to blossom Into a
good one. It was tubed Monday and,
without being shot, has been pnmplng at
the rate of eight or ten barrels per day.
At present there is not sufficient tankage
to take care of the fluid If pumped stead
ily and so the operators are going slow.
This strike has caused considerable ex
citement among local oil men, and it is
likely to set things agoing on the West
Side, which may develope Into a lively
oil Held. We hope so.

there was a large volume of gas which
throw pebbles over the derrick and was
of suob volume that the fire In the boiler
had to be put out in order to keep the
gas from igniting. As soon as the bollor
was moved out of the danger zone, the
drill was again started and a f-till greater
volume was struck. The well Is now
gushing forth at a great rate. Kane Rep.

Mr. Nelson P. Wheeler, the Repub
lican candidate for Congress in this dis
trlst, spent Friday afternoon in Ridgway
shaking hands with a number of people
who were glad to meet the candidate.
He was met at the train by a number of
local Republicans, and was accompanied
by bis popular private secretary, Mr.
Gus II. Evans. Several or our leadlug
business men called on Mr. Wheeler, and
he accepted Invitations to visit a number
of our local manufacturing plants, with
which he was well pleased. Mr. Wheeler
Is a bright business man, and has a fine
record morally, so that he adds strength
to his ticket. Though he says he Is not a
politician, he is of such a genial disposi
tion naturally that he only has to be
himself to take well with the people, and
wherever he goes he seems to make
friends by the hundred. As long as the
Republican candidate is practically as
sured ot election in this district, it is in
deed fortunate that the party has put up
such a clean and able business man to
represent the Interests of this district.

Forest County People In Wreck.
Ex-Sheriff Frank P. Walker, of this
county, who is now with the Common
wealth Lumber Co., located near Alder
Bon, W. Va., writes us as follows, under
date of Oct. 21, about a railroad wreck in
which be and others formerly of this
county were caught while on their way to
their new home. The wreck occurred on
the Chesapeake A Ohio Railway near Ivy
Depot, Va. One or the firemen was
killed and others or the train crev and
passengers were severely injured:
"The Commonwealth Lumber Co.'s
plant is located on the banks of the
Greenbrier River, In an old field, almost
a fao simile of tbe Grunderville plant.
Tbey are putting up a nice mill here.
The Gillespie Bros, are building a bridge
across the river and will soon have it
completed. I left Warren last Sunday
evening, with E. A, Southworth and
Chas. Burns' family, and bad a pleasant
trip until about dark Monday evening,
when we encountered a wreck which put
a damper on the balance of the trip. I
am sending you a paper with a short
account of the wreck. There were two
large engines hauling the train of eleven
coaches, and they were thirty minutes
late leaving Gordouville and were "going
up the line." When the crash acme the
hind engine, the one next to tbe train,
Jumped the track and started over the
bank on the left side and turned end for
end. The iront engine ran down the
track three or four hundred feet and It
went over the right bank, but did not tip
over. The cars went up the track a ways
aud went to the left, down over the bank,
across the hollow, tipped over aud
smashed up badly, I was sitting in the
smoking compartment of the first day
coach, in the front end of the coach. The
balance or our party were back in the
car, about the middlo, and when the train
stopped our car was off the track aud
right beside the engine that laid over the
bauk. The hot water and steam were
coming Into our car and the people were
all trying to get out or the back door at
once. I raised a window, throw my coat
and suit case out, and then jumped out
unhurt, thank fortune, but badly "shook
up." One could not sit still, slaud still,
or He still. Don't want any more of that
kind of riding."

DISTRESSING FATALITY.
Charles Klinestlver, of Nebraska, Loses
Ills Life While at Work ou the
Lumber Mill.
One of the most distressing accidents In
this vicinity In recent years occurred at
tbe Collins, Darrah A Co. saw-mill in
Nebraska, last Monday morning, Oct. 20,
1000, by wbicb Charles Klinestlver lost
his life. He had recently taken the place
of his father, George Klinestlver, as filer
on tbe mill, whose duties Included a gen
eral supervision of tbe machinery. Early
in the morning be bad gone underneath
the mill to remove some drift-wood from
the flume, which was causing the water
to overflow on the machinery, when by
the pulling loose of a board nailed to
some timbers and wbicb be had ' grasped
to steady himself, he was thrown into a
large cog gearing. His right leg was
caught above tbe knee and tbe flesh and
bones of tbe npper part or tbe leg and of
the hip were fearfully crushed and man
gled. He was also Injured Internally,
His body was too lame to pass through
tbe cogs and the gearing was forced back
and nnmeshed to such an extent that he
was enabled to free himself. Notwith
standing his awful injuries he did not
lose consciousness and dragged himself
a distance of fully forty feet to a Bide door
of the mill and called for help. His cries
were heard by K. L. Haugb, the engineer,
who called belp and bad him removed
to his father's borne. Medical aid was
summoned and Dr. J. C. Dunn, of Tio
nesta, promptly responded, but nothing
could be done to save tbe unfortunate
man, his death occurring at 8:45 a. m.
from the shock. He was conscious until
within a few minutes of his death, con
versing with those around him.
Charles Frederick Klinestlver was the
son or George and Dorcas (Lawrence)
Klinestlver, tbe latter deceased, and was
born in Tionesta Feb. 17, 1807. Reared
to young manhood in the vloinity or his
birthplace, be bad followed lumbering
tbe greater 'portion of bis life, and had
become an expert sawyer and filer.
Some years ago bis health was broken
and be bad not been able to perform tbe
hard work to which be bad been accus
tomed, yet he was rarely idle, his inher
ited energy and industry spurring him
on when be often should have taken rest.
He was a single man and lived "at
home" with his father and revered step
mother, to whom be was an honored and
dutiful son. Trustworthy to the last de
gree he bad held nearly all tbe offices of
trust within tbe gift of his neighbors in
his township, and last fall was elected as
a Republican to membership on the
board of County Auditors, a position
which be was amply fitted by experience
and sound sense to fill to the satisfaction
of the taxpayers and citizens. No man
stood higher In the estimation of the peo
ple as a man of absolute honesty and
frank, open-heartedness than Charley
Klinestlver. The soul or honor lu all bis
acts and dealings with bis fellow men,
bis friends wore limited only by the cir
cle of bis acquaintanceship. A "true
blue" Mend, loyal to every principle ol
right, and just to friend and foe alike.
The passing away of such a man is a
shook to any community, which is made
doubly so .when attended with such tragic
circumstances. Charley will be missed
as few others would be in his community
and bis memory will live long in the
hearts of all wbo knew him. Besides the
parents be Is survived by five brothers
and two Bisters, as follows: Wm. L., of
Sheffield; Jacob L., of Hickory twp.;
Harry T., of Tionesta; Miss Florence, of
Warren; Mrs. S. H. Seoor, of Nebraska;
George, of Kellettvllle ; and Fred., or
Nebraska.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
W. O. Calhoun, will be held In the M. E.
church at Nebraska this afternoon, and
tbe interment, which will be in obarge of
Tionesta Lodge No. 369, 1. O. O. F., of
which the deceased was a member, will
take place in Riverside Cemetery at
three o'clock, P. M.
Thanksgiving Proclamation.
President Roosevelt has Issued his an
nual Thanksgiving Proclamation, as fol
lows :
The time of year has come when, In ac
cordance with the wise custom or our
forefathers, It becomes my duty to set
aside a special day of thanksgiving and
praise to the Almighty because or the
blessings we have recolyed and of prayer
that these blessings may be contin
ued. Yet another year of widespread
wellbelng has passed. Never before in
our history or in the history or any other
Nation have the people enjoyed more
abundant material prosperity than is
ours. A prosperity that Is so great that
it should arouse In ns no spirit of reck
less pride, and least or all, a spirit ol
heedless disregard of our responsibilities;
but rather a sobor sense of our many
blessings and a resolute purpose, under
providence, not to forfeit them by any
action of our own.
Material wellbelng, ludlspenslble
though it is, can never be anything but
the foundation of true national greatness
and happiness. If we build nothiug upon
this foundation then our national life
will be as meaningless and empty as a
house where only the foundation lias
been laid. Upon our material well-being
must be built an upper Btructuie of In
dividual and national life, live in ac
cordance with the laws of the highest
morality, or else our prosperity itself
will, In tbe long run, turn out a curse In
stead of a blessing. We should be both
reverently thankful for what we have re
ceived and earuestly beut upon turning
it into a means of grace and not of de
struction. Accordingly, I hereby set apart Thurs
day, the 2i)tU day ol November next, as a
day or thanksgiving and supplication, on
which the people shall meet in their
homos or their churches, devoutly ac
knowledge all that bas boou given them
and to pray that they may, in addition,
receive the power to use those gifts
aright.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my band and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 2nd
day of October, In the year of our Lord
one thousand uine hundred aud six, and
of the independence of the United States

State Roads In Forest County,
The Interest in the Good Roads move
ment is rapidly increasing In Forest
county, and, since the passage or the
Sprout Good Roads Law In 1903, which
was later superseded by the Act or May
1st, 1905, four applications for State Aid
have been made by tbe following dis
tricts :
Tionosta Township, 25,000 feet
Tionesta " " 12,000 "
Tlonesta Borough, 12.700
Green Township, 20,000 "
75,700 or near
ly fourteen and one-balf miles of roads.
Tbo county co-operated In all the above
petitions, agreeing to pay an equal share
with each district of the cost or recon
structing the roads.
Plans and specifications wero prepared
covering tbe construction of 8,831 feet or
road, 12 leet wide, in Tionesta Township,
extending from the line of Tlonesta Boro
on river road, to Hickory Township line.
Bids were received at the State Highway
Department for 20 days prior to August
4, 1906, and the following proposals were
submitted:
AV. H. Lyons, Harrlsburg, $15,080.65
Nelson Construction Co.,
Cbainbersbnrg, Pa., 14.352.88
R. A. Bigley, Franklin 12,443.25
John L. Hann, Jr., Frank
lin, Pa., 17,555 41
The agreements, which must be en
tered into between tie State, County and
Township before a contract can be
awarded, were signed by the proper au
thorities and the contract awarded to R.
A. Bigley, of Franklin, Pa. Tbe State's
share or tbe cost or this road will be
about $9,332.44.
Tbe roads covered by tbe other three
petitions are described as follows:
Twenty-five thousand feet of road, In
Tlonesta Township, extending from the
line of Tlonesta Borough, thence along
the Tionesta creek road to tbe line of
Groen Township.
Twenty-six thousand feet of road, in
Green Township, extending from Tlo
nesta creek road leading from Tlonesta
to Kellettvllle, at Tionesta and Green
Township line, along said road through
Nebraska to Kingsley township line.
Twelve thousand seven hundred feet of
road, iu Tionesta Borough, extending
from line of Tionesta Township at the
north line of Elm streit to the east Hoe of
said Borough and from Elm street west
to tbe Allegheny . iver bridge. .
The amount or money available for
road building purposes In Forest County
until June 1, 1907, is $8,814.30. The 1907
1908 apportionment, amounting to about
$5,316.93, becomes available on tbe first
of next June, making a total of $14,131.29
for use until June 1, 1908, at which time
tbe 1908-1909 apportionment, amounting
to about $5,316.93 falls due, making a
total sum of about $19,448.22 available
until June 1, 1909.
At an average cost of $8,000 a mile it
will require an expenditure of $116,000 to
construct the fourteen and one-half
miles of roads covered by the aboye ap
plications, tbe State's share of which will
be about $87,000. As Forest County's en
tire apportionment amounts to but $19,
448.22, this leaves a deficiency of about
$07,551.78, and unless the next Legisla
ture appropriates a subsantlal Good
Roads Fund, it will be Impossible for tbe
State Highway Department to undertake
tbe construction of all the above roads,
not taking Into consideration the appli
cations which may be made by the vari
ous districts in Forest County during
1907, 1908 and 1909.

writes us the following characteristic let
ter, which we know his many friends in
Tionesta and vicinity will enjoy reading:
Chicago H eights, Ills., Oct, 20, '08.
J. E. Wenk, Tionesta, Pa.
Dear Sir : Before we left old Tionesta
for home from our recent visit I prom
ised you I would write you a good long
letter about Chicago Heights. But first
of all I wish to thank you and all my old
friends in Forest county for the hearty
welcome and kindness shown to me and
my daughter. It was a great pleasure to
see so many of my old friends once
more, and I was very sorry that I could
not see some of the old friends and
neighbors who had passed away Into a
better world. I felt Bad when we left
Tlonesta, for the thought came to my
mind, "How many will I ever see again?"
The night before we left we took a walk
and came past our old friend John
Charleston's house, John came out and
we talked about fifteen mlnntes, and as I
bid him good-bye I told him If I should
never see bim again to take good care of
Llmself, He was the first one alter that
visit to pass away.
Well, now, as to our trip home: We
left Tionesta about 11 a. tn. and went to
Oil City. Then we took a Lake Shore
train to Ashtabula, and there we had to
wait for some time for our train. Finally
a train came along and stopped, and I
asked the conductor if that was tbe train
for Chicago, He told me very politely
he would get me there if I ever got on.
So we got on, and as every coach was full
we walked away back into the finest coach
I was ever in , and sat down. Soon a red
headed follow, with brass buttons on his
coat, came along and asked me where we
wanted to go, I told him and be said we
would have to go into the next coach to
the front. I told him not to mind us, I
thouuht that coach was good enough for
us. Then he wanted 25 cents a piece for
the prlvilego of staying in that ooacb till
we should reach Cleveland, which was as
far as It would go. You see this was tbe
fast train. We came to Chicago about two
o'clock in tbe morning and had to wait
till five to get a train for home. Well,
we got home about breakfast time. While
I was east I had a good time; it was all
play aud no work. Now It Is all work
attain. I found everything in good
shapo when we got homo.
Now, something about Chicago Hoights:
It is about twenty-seven miles from Chi
cago, south. It is on tbo Eastern Illinois
Railway. We have tilty-two factories
here and eighty saloons, ten churches
complete, and another, an Italian, will be
ready for service before winter sets in.
Twenty years ago thore were no factories
where now acres of ground are covered
with them. Kuilding operations are go
ing on stnadily anil will continuo tor
years to coino. The record of the city
clerk's olllce shows that for the first nine
and one-half months of this year there
wore issued 2) building permits. Tho
flrt permit was Issued Jan. 2 and the last
permit on Oct. 13. Contractors estimate
the average cost per building at $2,000,
which would make the total amount ex
pended for buildings thus far this year
about $500,000. As it is, we lave a fine
place to live in, and to do business in,
and we like it very much.
Very truly yours,
John Mukn.knukroku.
