Charles O. 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,

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.

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. What do you
think of it?

SPREAD OF DISEASES.
Germs Often Carried in Milk Bottles.
Necessity of Cleanness.
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."
