The question baa been asked as to
whether candidates at the recent February
election are obliged to file expense ac
counts. While the law does not specify
which elections are included, it makes
It tbe duty of all candidates for publl
offices to file accounts, and allows
30
days in wblcb to do so, so that March 10th
is the last day for filing such accounts,
The act requires that all expense accounts
of $50 or over shall be itemized, but If the
accounts are less than $50 an Itemized
account need uot be made, but in either
case the statements must be sworn to,
Tbe proper blanks are to be bad at the
Commissioners' office, with whom they
must be filed when made out. It is in
cumbent on both the successful and de
feated candidates to make statements. So
If you were voted for at the recent elec
tion for any borough or township office it
will be well to file a statement of your
expenses. If they were nothing your
oath to that effect will let you out.

(oreI By Enraged Bull.
John Curll, a well known farmer living
near Newmanaville, narrowly escaped
boing gored to death by an enraged bull
last Friday morning. He had gone to
the stable to release the stock, and bad
occasion to administer a little drubbing J
to tbe bull which was acting surly. The
infuriated animal thereupon tore loose
from his rope fastening and attacked
Mr. Curll, who was unable to get away.
After a desperate encounter in which the
bull succeeded in tearing a great furrow
along the spinal column of his victim,
Mr. Curll managed to get out of the sta
ble, and was helped to tbe bouse by
members of tbe family who had come to
his relief. A physician was summoned
who fvaa obliged to insert several stitches
in order to close tbe wounds, and at last
accounts the unfortunate man was In a
fair way to recovery, although it may be
several weeks before be is able to' attend
to bis usual work. He was injured in
fernally but it is not believed these in

Fire at Loleta.
A correspondent of last week's Mar
ienville Express gives the following ac
count of the burning of tbe home of A,
F. Brockway, who is known to many of
our readers in this section, and who
resides near Loleta, about four miles be
yond Marionville:
"Sunday morning the residents of our
little town were shocked to learn that
during the night or early morning, tbe
home of Mr. L. Brockway, who lives
about a mile from the mill, had been
completely destroyed by fire, the family
barely escaping with their lives. Mr.
Brockway, who goes to work at midnight,
had gotten up as usual and having built a
fire to do some cooking, must have left
the fire burning too high, and in some
unaccountable mauner the home caugbt
fire while the rest of the family were
sleeping. The flames spread so rapidly
that the family were lucky to get out in
their Dight clothes before the roof felt In.
The home being so lar away nothing was
known ot tbe fire by the residents of Lo
leta until almost seven o'clock. As soon
as the affair was made known, our kind
bearted citizens gathered together cloth
ing and such other articles as was neces
sary to make the family comfortable for
the time being, the family having gone to
the Raybuck home some distance away.
During the day the men at the mill sub
scribed a sum of mouey for the unlortu
nately family. The Brockway family
have certainly been unfortunate, as it
will be remembered that they have bad
a great deal of sickness and two deaths
occurred in the family within a very
short time last summer. Mr. Brockway
carried no insurance on his property and
it was a total loss. Our sympathy goes
out to tbcm in this unfortunate affair."
