from two epidemics and so many people
have been afflicted that every train is
carrying many out of town. Everyone
who can raise a few dollars for carfare Is
fleeing from tbe town with all personal
effects. Many people were taken ill last
week with typhoid fever and cases have
developed on an average of 15 to 20 cases
a day since then. The situation is grow
ing worse every hour. About tbe Bame
time typhoid fever became epidemic an
other one of a different nature made Its
appearauce. Children rangiug in ages
from 6 to 13 years have been taken ill and
generally within 48 hours time their
lower limbs became paralyzed. In the
past week over 40 cases have developed
and tbe unknown disease is spreading
rapidly. Already there are about 40 who
have been thus alllicted. Local physi
cians and health officers who have been
called to attend, these cases refuse to
make auy statement and it is said tbey
are unable to determine just what tbe
disease is. Some say they have never
seen tbe like of it before. Already there
have been several deaths and more are
expected.

James ManroBS, an old time Forest
onian, who is now living at Gerry, N. Y.,
passed through town yesterday morning
being out on a few weeks' vacation which
be will spend among friends In this sec
tion, James bad with him a clever device
for milking cows, known as the Mebrlng
machine, which be says gets tbe noarest
to perfection in that respect than any
thing yet produced, Tbe machine is
constructed to milk two cows at once,
does the work of about four men and can
be operated by a fifteen-year-old boy or
girl as readily aa by a grown person,
Mr. Manross is quite enthusiastic in his
praise of the machine's elhcacy, and it
does look like a complete success.
There is a DuBois man who is just
too mean for anything. For some un
accountable reason be bas been laboring
under tbe impression that be is "ben

usage at tbe hands of his better half be

all right. The fellow hired bIx or eight
boys to stand along tho walk where he
waygoing to take his wife for a walk the
other night, and when be went past, the
boys all tipped their hats and said:
"Good evening, Mr. U en peck." It cost
him 10 cents a piece for the boys, but be
Bays it worked like a charm and tbe
equal rights question is not being dis
cussed in bis home any more. Perhaps
bis wife felt sorry for him. DuBois

Nothing could be said in greater
praise of people than that they 'like
sweets, says a writer in "What to Eat."
It shows a wholesome, vigorous, health
ful condition an appetite not jaded from
excessive indulgence. The child whose
appetite has not become polluted or cal
loused by false relishes, smarting sauces
aud burning drinks loves sweets; so does
the girl of bright eyes and untainted
youth, as Is evidenced by her fondness
lor Ice creams aud desserts. The young
athlete among men loves sweets nearly
as well as does tbe child. But the bar
room lounger, the "cigarette fiend," tbe
"dope fiend" and the depraved of all
other classes do not like sweets. Long
ago their minds and appetites lost the
desire for everything pleasing to tbe nat
ural palate.
For goodness sake don't cut any
weeds that fringe the sidewalks of bo me
of our streets, as they are about "to go to
seed" dow and there might not be auy
crop next year. It beats all what an
adornment a growth of weeds Is anyway,
where they border tbe sidewalks, and
what a striking example they are as an
indication of publie improvement. This
from the Sheffield Observer, applies to
more towns -than one, our own amongst
tho rest. It is such a small task to run
the lawn mower over these little grass
plots once a weok, or to mow the weeds
down with a common sickle that it would
eem scarcoly necessary to call attention
to the matter. Ordinary pride ought to
appeal to lot owners or residents. And
wbat a fine improvement there would be
in tbe appearance of the town!
On Tuesday night select council re
fcilied to confirm the appointment of Pa
trolman R. O. Whitton. Mr. Whitton is
a mau of admirable charactar and correct
habits and has tbe judgment and pby
Blque necessary to make him a valued
addition to the local police force. Some
time ago while working for the city as
poli.'eiuau, lie received a Mattering offer
to take a job of lumbering in West Vir
ginia and accepted, resigning his position
here. He found that the climate and
conditions of West Virginia wore not as
attractive as those of Oil City and re
turned here and was given his old posi
tion, subject to tbe aotion of councils.
Two weeks ago the matter of confirming
him was laid over until the Tuesday
meeting, and then he was turned down.
But it is bard to keep a good mau down,
and on Wednesday he was given a posi
tion by tho P. R. K. as policeman for its
pay car. On Thursday a representative
of the Erie railroad was in town with au
thority to otter him a permanent position
as an Erie railroad policeman. Those
wbo knew Mr. Whitton well, and the
standing be has In bis community of
Hickory before coming to Oil City, feel
that some misrepresentations have been
made to prevent his appointment on tbe
local police foroe. The spirit of fair playi
as expressed by the many fiiends of the
deposed patrolman, urges them to voice
the sentiment that a good man should not
be discriminated against for carrying out
the orders of his superior officer. Oil

Elegant Social Event.
The pleasant home aod lovely maple
shaded lawn of Mr. and Mra. George W.
Warden, at Endeavor, Pa., was the scene
of a very pretty social event on Saturday
afternoon last, when guests numbering
upward of one hundred responded to in

Former .Tionesta -Roy's Thrilling Ex
perience.
A Chicago paper of last Thursday givos
the following account of the thrilling ex
perience of two lads of that city and their
almost miraculous escape from death on
Lake Michigan. Tbe Charles Bonner
mentioned is the 17-year-old son of our
former well known citizen, Charles
Bonner:
After drifting about tbe lake all yeeter
day in a disabled launch without food or
drink, Charles Bonner, 5752 Rosalie court,
and Irving Strader, 4G2 Bowen avenue,
were rescued by tbe steamer Theodore
Roosevelt. Tbe two men were exhausted
when taken on board tbe steamer, but
alter restoratives had been administered
by Dr. H. N. Bundesen, tbe boat's phy
sician, they were able to tell their story.
They started at 5 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing from Chicago for Michigan City,
where they arrived safely. The follow
ing morning they Btarted on the return
trip and when about ten miles out tbe
electric battery ot the launch became ex
hausted. All day long tbey drifted, from
time to time sigtting steamers and
yachts, but unable to attract their atten
tion. A driving rain and a rising sea
added to their peril and discomfort. They
had abandoned themselves to despair
when tbey were picked up by the Roose
velt. Tbe launch was taken In tow, but
shortly afterward tbe steamer ran Into a
heavy rain and wind storm which snapped
the tow rope and the launch is still toss
ing about iu tbe lake waves. The boat
was known aa the Bertha. - It formerly
belonged to the South Haven life-saving
station.

Select the Best School.
It costs very little more, in eithor time
or money, to attend a really good school
than to attend one of Inferior grado, and
the difference In the outcome is sure to
be very great. Young people of fair ed
ucation, who have ability and ambition,
give the Rochester Business Institute the
preference, because they are able to dis
criminate. Getting ou the right track is
of the utmost Importance.
At a rule, what a mau calls his rights
represent merely desired privileges.
