Thomas, the man who stole Amos Shotts' Hue team of horses last September, was convicted of the crime In the Clarion courts last week. He was also convicted of 'the theft of several sets of harness from the Iseman Bros.' store some time prior to the horse stealing. His pal, Eugene Tall man, in dieted for the same offenses, Is still In the Erie jail, and will be tried later, Thomas, being an old offender, will doubtless get a salty sentence, and will not likely steal any more horses for some time to come. There is a rumor, which can not be confirmed, that he was sen tenced to twelve years In the penitentiary. The Pennsylvania has revived an old order about hauling Intoxicated persons on Its passenger trains. The order was issued several years ago and was to the effect that any person found to be under the influence of liquor should not be al lowed to enter a train. Whether the or. dor had gradually been forgitten or whether some accident occurred to make its reissue necessary is not known, but it has recently been reissued. Intcxicated men are often boisterous and the railroad officers fear that not only will annoyance be caused to the conductor and trainmen by the person insisting on going from coach to coach, but that there is annoy ance to other passongers and there is danger of such a man being thrown from the platform or stepping from it at a sta tion and then attempting to board the train after it has started. This is indeed an age of scheming, aud he is a wise guy who can determine w hiither be is being used as a promoter of some enterprise or not. "If you wish to do your Christmas shopping successful ly," snid a clever woman, "take a good- looking young man with you. The hand somer he Is, the better. The way the salesladies will fly around to wait on you will be a revelation to yon. I learned this secret by accident. My brother happened to be with me the other day when I bad an errand in one of the big shops, and I never had such assiduousattention before in my life." All of which causes the Oil City Blizzard to remark: "Thus it la seen that a new field of usefulness has been opened for handsome men. It Is greatly to be regretted that the duties of newspaper men in general are such as to demand their undivided attention at this particular season." It Is said that during the bunting sea son recently closed seventy-four persons were accidentally killed and seventy wounded In the United States, either through carelessness or recklessness, Michigan bad the the largest number of dead, fifteen, while Wisconsin, with thir teen, was second, and Pennsylvania must have been a mighty close third. Where the statistics come from, or as td their accuracy we do not know, but if Correct it shows that about one out of a million lose their lives during the bunting sea son, xne percentage does not seem large, but since the killings are largely the result of recklessness or ignorance In the handling of firearms, It would seem that the rate might be very much reduced by prohibiting fools from carry ing the deadly weapons. t The Commissioners of 'Venango county are preparing for tbe holding of winter primaries under tbe new law In the cities or Franklin and Oil City, but advise that all townships and boroughs make their nominations for tbe February elections In the manner usually followed by the several party organizations, pro vision in the new law allowing this to be done at tbe winter primaries. This seems to be the sensible course, and the one which the Commissioners of Forest county believe should prevail in this county. The new law Is both cumber some and vague, and for townships and boroughs is a nuisance so far as tbe hold ing of primaries for tbe nomination of candidates for the February, election is concerned, and we are of the opinion no considerable number of voters will care to have it adopted for that purpose. Al the spring primaries, when candidates for the general election are to be nomi nated, the system, being less complex and less expensive, will doubtless prove quite satisfactory to the voters. Father of Mrs. K. L. Huugli Meets Violent Death. Mr. and Mrs. K. L. Haugb, of Nebras ka, this county, were apprised late Fri day evening of the death by accident of Mrs. Haugh's father, WiUiam H. Me Anlnch, in a flouring mill at New Beth lehem, Clarion county. He was a resi dent of Brookvillo, aud a dispatch from that place to the daily Spirit, at Punxsu tawuey, Saturday morning, gives tbe fol lowing particulars of tbe sad affair: 'Death In frightful form came to Will- lam II, McAninch, a prominent resident of this place and a retired flouring mill man, when he fell down an elevator shaft in tbe mill of George L. Reed, at New Bethlehem, shortly after five o'clock last evening. Just how tbe accident hap pened no person seems to know, for none saw him fall and those In the mill were only aware of the accident when his life less form was found at tbe bottom of tbe shaft. Mr. McAninch, although having retired from the flouring 'business some time svo, bad consented to go to tho New Bethlehem mill and help during a rush of work. Something went wrong with tbe elevator In the mill yesterday after noon and the unfortunate man went to tbe third floor to make some repairs. Later bis body was found at the bottom of the shaft, a distance of twenty-nine feet. Physicians who examined tbe body claim that death must have resulted instautly, as tbe head was crushed, and It is thought that, the neck was broken." The deceased was a brother of tbe late Rev. J. V. McAninch, with whom, and his daughter at Nebraska, he had olten been a visitor, and had formed a number of favorable acquaintanceships both in Tionesta and Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. Haugh lelt for Brookville Saturday morning and were, present at the funeral cn Sunday, which was conducted by Rev, J. T. Adams. Tbe deceased was about 63 years old, an active member of tbe United Presbytorlan church, and a very highly esteemed citizen lu tbe com munity in which he had made his home for many years. Besides his wife and Mrs. iiaugb, he is survived by two sons, Jay and Lewis. He is also survived by bis sged mother, who resides with ber daughter, Mrs. Mary Kribbs, Sunset, Mo., two brothers, Dr. McAninch, of Lamartine, Pa., and Glenn McAninch, of Manhattan, Kansas. ,, Big Sawmill for Sheffleld. The Observer gives the following ac count of tbe contemplated erection of an extensive lumbering plant lu tbe town orsbeflleld: "During the past week a corps of sur veyors have i-een running lines and grades for the location of a large saw mill to be built at this place tbe coming sum mer hy the Central Pennsylvania Lum ber Company. The plot of ground con taining over one hundred acres ou which the ball park is located has been secured for the mill plant, and will be cleaned of brush and a railroad built to it as soon as possible. From tbe officials of the com pany we learn that the plans include tbe building of a double band mill, with re saw, having a capacity of about fitly mil lion feet of lumber per year. The build ing is to be of concrete and as near fire proof as it is possible to make it. Tbe machinery will be of the latest design and the power will be electricity, each machine having an Individual or Inde pendent dynamo. It will be the best built and equipped mill in Pennsylvania. Tbe mill will give employment to at leasts hundred men, and the plans In clude the building of houses for their ac commodation. The company owns large tracts of timber lands in this vicinity enough it is estimated to supply the pro posed mill with logs for fifteen or twenty years. The company also owns tbe T. V. Ry., aud the logs will be brought to the mill by rail. Since this compauy was formed and took over tLe timber in terest of tbe tauniug companies it has been known that a large mill for Shef field was contemplated, and now we are told that this town is to have tbe best saw mill plant in the state, and as boou as it can be conveniently built. .

They are spending part of their honeymoon with Mr. Youngk's sisters, Mrs. Willis Kerr and Mrs. Chas. McCloskey, of Tylers burg. A Mighty Good Idea. A number of residents of Mansfield are looking into the matter of organizing an insurance compauy In town lor the pur pose of Insuring village property. It is said $10,000 are paid out each year in Mansfield for Insurance, and tbe losses for tbe past twenty years have not ex ceeded what it costs the residents in pre miums for one year. The existing rates are altogether too hgb in this borough, tbe water protection considered. Tbe idea is to organize on a plan similar to that of Ibe Grange Fire Insurance Com pany. There is no doubt that a company along the lines suggested would be very successful and save the people hundreds of dollars a year. As tbe matter now stands, you pay whether there are any Iosbbs by fire or not. With the proposed new company in operation, you would pay only when some member sustains a loss, and your protection would be fully as adequate as It now Is at the bands of the old line companies. Tbe cost of or ganization would be small, and there would be no heavily salaried presldentor other officers.- Mansfield (Pa.)Advertiser. Here is an Idea that is worthy the care ful consideration of the people of Tio nesta. Insurance rates in this borough are enormous, and instead of diminishing since tbe installation of our water system and rather superior facilities for fighting fire, the rates have been heavily increased, a still further increase having been made within tbe past year. Thousands of dol lars are paid out annually In fire Insur ance premiums by Tionesta residents, which, if paid Into a general fund, would, in a half dozen years, or less, provide for any ordinary contingency that might arise from fire loss, and still have money left. In a short time the rates could be cut in two twice from what we are now paying. A dollar saved is two dollars earned, they say, and on this basis the introduction of a home insurance com pany would be about tbe best institution or enterprise that could be added to our town at the preseut time.

The householder should work band in band with tbe milk man to prevent his bottles and cans from becoming infected with the germs of typhoid fever and other communicable diseases and thus spread ing the infeotion. State Health Commis sioner Samuel G. Dixon insists upon this precaution in speaking of general methods of combatting disease. The commissioner states that tbe de partment finds frequent exa nplea of tbe spread of typhoid fever and other dis eases through carelessness In the han dling of milk containers, "For instance," says Dr. Dixon, "there will be handed out from a bouse infected with typhoid fever, diphtheria, or scarlet fever an empty milk bottle In which lurk the deadly germs. The milk man places this in his crate which be alterwards uses for his next day's supply. Indeed, the mere handling of the bottle from the In fected house makes it exceedingly proba ble that tbe milk man will Bpiead the germs of disease to the rest of his bottles and cans. "It is therefore tbe duty of the person in whose borne there Is a case of com municable disease to see to it that betore the individual milk bottle Is returned to the milk mau to thorougly cleanseit. This can be done by first rinsing it wTfh cold water and afterwards scalding. "The milk man on bis part should never refill a bottle until be bas passod it throngh bis cleansing apparatus at his establishment. When milk is delivered from a large can iuto pitchers or other vessels handed out from a house, the milk man should not handle such vessel, but should pour tbe milk out ot his can without permitting it to touch tbe cus tomer's container, and without touching it with bis hands or bis measure. "These seem like very simple precau tions and they are, but only (hose who make a constant study of tbe causes of epidemics realize bow essential the obser vation of these cautionary measures - are for the protection of tbe public health. Just a very little care often prevents a very great amount of sickness and death." Cream of the News. No man ever got a pain in his back from carrying bis neighbor's burdens.
