The Bradford Star makes note of a
matter in the following item which may
be of vital importance to many churches
in this neighborhood: "On Monday,
March 18, there will be a special sons km
of the McKean county courts, at which
time an opportunity will be giveu to all
churches to comply with the act of the
assembly of 1905. The law requires tho
churches to elect trustees by the lay
members of tho congregation, or some
person or persons controlled solely by
the members of the congregation. Most
of the church charters In this section of
the state do not comply with the law in,
this particular and unless they amend
their charters will be dissolved as cor
porations. The object of the act is to
prohibit bishops, preachers and individ
uals from controlling the church prop
erty, and the act requires the churches to
amend the charters so it will be held by
a person or persons controlled by the lay
members of the congregation."

A New Jersey woman, making up a
family tree for her use in joining a co
lonial soolety, found that an ancestor
whom she had always referred to as a
"very prominent man in early days,"
had attracted most attention when bung
for piracy. Strangely enough, she was
angry at the clerk who helped her find
the information in a court record. Yet
most families have a fow halters hanging
in the family oak. They give interest to
the branchos and do us no barm If not too
near the present date. The experience of
the New Jersey searcher after blue blood
suggests an incident that was related In
this locality by a former generation. Rev.
Hezekiah May, who came from New
England to Venango county early in the
last contury, and who settled In Tlonesta,
was pestered by a man of rather doubtful
lineage, who had the "family tree" fad,
and who Insisted on the minister's help
In fixing up a proper cost-of-arms. So,
to get rid of him, Mr, May one day sug'
gested for him this heraldic device: "Two
posts, staudant; one beam, crossant; one
noose, pendant." The gibbeted bore bad
no further use for hiB reverend adviser,

A resident of Franklin who recently
wrote to Health Commissioner Dixon
asking for details relative to the proposed

ply. of which the following is a part: At
present the sanitary survey being taken
by this Department of all boroughs and
cities in the Allegheny river basin above
Pittsburg, Is for tbe purpose of becoming
thoroughly acquainted with existing con
ditions. The necessity for something to
be done is apparent, and tbe intention of
the General Assembly relative to tbe pol
lution of streams Is covered by tbe law of
1005. It devolves upon tbe Governor,
Attorney General and Commissioner of
Health to determine all questions rela
tive to the discharge of sewage from mu
nicipalities into streams, and in order
that the application from a municipality
my be conservatively yet wisely settled
Iu each case, it is necessary that full in
formation be obtained and that a uniform
policy be established for all places on the
water shed. Until this has been deter
mined It will be impossible, as you can

no such hardships for the modern wood
man as were endured in our own earlier

In Men's Rain Coats.
' Twenty-seven Men's Raincoats, all sizes 34 to 44 and all the
prevailing tan shades that cost the manufacturer Dot less than $15.00
to produce, but a change in the firm forced him to close out his stock
of Raincoats, and in his stock was this lot.
. Every one of these coats is made from a very line tau worsted
that we guarantee absolutely all-wool. A wonderful statement iu
this age of cotton and mercerized fabrics.
Every coal is Bilk lined through the shoulders and eleeeves.
Every coat is a genuine "Priestly Craveuelte," the best and
highest priced waterproofing process known to tbe clothing trade.
Ia fact, as stated before, these coats cost not less than $13.00 to

tor actual service wo are stating the case mildly.
Remember they are all tans and the price is $12.00. Come in
