Btore some time prior to the horse stealing. His pal, Eugene Tallman, in dicted 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 sentonce, 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 baullug intoxicated persons on Its passenger trains. The order was Issued several years ago and was to the effect that auy 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 hs recently been reissued. Intoxicated men are often boisterous and the railroad officers fear that not only will annoyance be caused to tbe conductor and trainmen by tbe person Insisting on going from coach to coach, but that there la annoy ance to other passongers aud there is danger of Buch 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 Btarted.

"If you wish to do your Christmas shopping successful ly," ssid a clever woman, "take a good lookiug young man with you. The hand somer he Is, the better.

My brothor happened to be with me the other day when I had an errand in one of the big shops, and I never had such asslduousattentlon 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 Bald that during the huntingaoa son recently olosed seventy-four persons were accidentally killed and seventy wounded In the United States, either through carelessness or recklessness. Michigan bail the the largost 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 tj their accuracy we do not know, but if correct It shows that about one out of a million lose their lives during the hunting sea- Bon. The percentage does not seem large, but since tbe killings are largely the result of recklessness or ignorance n the handling of firearms, it would seem that the rate might be very much reduced by prohibiting fools from carry ing tbe deadly weapons. -The Commissioners of - Venango county are preparing for tbe holding of winter primaries under tbe new law In tbe cities of Franklin and Oil City, but advise that all townships and boroughs make their nominations for tbe February elections in the manner usually followed by tbe several party organizations, pro vision In the new law allowing this to be done at the winter primaries. This seems to be the sensible course, and the one which the Commissioners of Forest county believe should prevail in tnis county. Tbe new law Is both cumber some and vague, and for towns-hips and boroughs is a nuisance so far as the 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 adoptod 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. Hatigli Meets Violent Death. Mr. and Mrs. K. L. Ilaugb, of Nebras ka, this county, were apprised late Fri day evening of the death by accident of Mrs. Haugh's father, Wl,lliain H. Mc Aninch, In a flouring mill at New Beth lehem, Clarion county. He was a resi dent of Brookvllle, aud a dispatch from that place to the dally Spirit, at Punxsu tawuey, Saturday morning, gives the fol lowing particulars of tbe sad affair: "Death In frightful form came to Will iam H. McAnlnch, a prominent resident of this place and a retired flouring mill man, when he fell down an elevator shaft in the mill of George L. Reed, at New Bethlehem, shortly after five o'clock last evening. Just how the 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 the bottom of the shaft. Mr. McAnlnch, although having rotired from tbe flouring 'business some time aito, had consented to go to the New Bethlehem mill and help during a rush of work. Something went wrong with the elevator In the mill yesterday after noon and the unfortunate man went to the third floor to make some repairs. Later bis body was found at the bottom of the shaft, a distance of twenty-nine feet. Phvsicians who examined the body claim that death must have resulted InBtautly, as the bead was crushed, and It is thought that the neck was broken." The deceased waa a brother of tbe late Rev. J. V. McAnlnch, with whom, and his daughter at Nebraska, be had otten been a visitor, and had formed a number of favorable acquaintanceships both in Tionesta and Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. Haugh left for Brookvllle Saturday morning and were, present at tbe funeral cn Sunday, which was conducted by Rev, J. T. Adams. The deceased was about 63 years old, an active member of tbe United Presbyterian church, and a very highly esteemed citizen in the com munity in which he had made bis home for many years. Besides Ills wife and Mrs. Haugh, he is survived by two sons, Jay and Lewis. He is also survived by his aged mother, who resides with her daughter, Mrs. Mary Krlbbs, Sunset, Mo., two brothers, Dr. McAnlnch, of Lamartine, Pa., and Glenn McAnlnch, of Manhattan, Kanaas.

The plot of ground con taining over one hundred acres on which the ball park is located bas Veen secured for the mill plant, and will be cleaned of brush aud a railroad built to it as soon as possible. From tbe officials of the com pany we learn that tbe plans Include tbe building of a double band mill, with re saw, having a oapaclty of about fifty 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 least a 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 vioinity enough it is estimated to supply me pro posed mill with logs for fifteen or twenty years. The company also owus the T. V. Ry., and the logs will be brought to the mill by rail. Since this company was formed and took over tbe timber in terests of the tanniug companies it has been known that a large mill for Shef field was contemplated, and now we are told that tills town is to have the best saw mill plant in the state, and as soon as It can be conveniently built.

Mr. Youngk, who is a son of ex-County Commissioner Peter Youngk, was takeu ill with typhoid fever at Tylershurg early in the summer, and Miss Dunkle, who la a graduate nurse of the Oil City hospital, was sent to take care of him, and so faithfully did she perform her duties that, while nursing him back to health she captivated his beartalso, with tbe result that tbey are now happily married. Both have many friends and acquaintances in this county who will wish tbein every joy and prosperity in life. 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 for the pur pose of insuring village property. It is said $10,000 are paid out each year in Mansfield for Insurance, and the 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 h'gb In this borough, the water protection considered. Tbe idea is to organize on a plan similar to tbatof tbe 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 the matter now stands, you pay whether there are any losses 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 tbe hands of the old line companies. Tbe cost of or ganization would be small, and there would be no heavily salaried president or other officers.-Mansfield (Pa.) Advertiser. Here Is an idea that is worthy tbe care ful consideration of the people of Tio nesta. IuBurance rates in this borough are enormous, aud instead of diminishing since tbe installation of our water system and rather superior facilities for fighting fire, tbe 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 ny iionesia resiuonis, 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 Bay, and on this basis the introduction of a home insurance com pany would be about the best institution or enterprise that could be added to our town at the present time.

Tbe 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 tbe infection. State Health Commis sioner Samuel G. Dixon insists upon this precaution in speaking of general methods of combatting disease.- The commissioner states that the de partment finds frequeut exa nptes of the 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 wbloh lurk the deadly germs. The milk man places this in bis crate which be afterwards uses for bis next day's supply. Indeed, tbe mere handling of tbe bottle from the In fected house makes it exceedingly proba ble that the milk man will spies J the germs of disease to the rest of his bottles and cans. "It is therefore the duty of the person in whose home there is a case of com municable disease to see to it that before tbe Individual milk bottle is returned to the milk man to thorougly cleaoseit. This can be done by first rinsing it wifh cold water and afterwards scalding. "The milk man on bis part should never refill a bottle until be bas passed it throngb his cleansing apparatus at his establishment. When milk 1b delivered from a large can luto pitchers or other vessels handed out from a house, tbe milk man should not handle such vessel, but should pour tbe milk out of his can without permitting it to touch the cus tomer's container, and without touching it with his hands or bis measure. 'These seem like very simple precau tions and they are, but only those who make a constant study of the causes of epidemics realize how essential the obser vation of these cautionary measures - are for the protection of tbe public health. Just a very little oare 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.
