The potato crop throughout the coun
try will bea short one, contrary to expec
tations a month ago. At that time the
prospects never were more promising for
au immense yield, in almost every
field the vines were green and rich look
ing with not a bug in sight. It is doubt
lul whether a more promising outlook
was ever present, but then the drouth
set iu and within a week thereafter these
thrifty vinos began to show signs of
withering, and today there Is not a patch
n all this section that does not show
evidences of blight. What this blight is
no one seems able to determine, but that
it Is complete is cerlaiu. The tubers have
not growu a particle since about the
middle of August and many farmers are
d igging their crops of half grown tubers.
If this condition obtains over all the
country, potatoes will be potatoes before

Interest In the story of the strangers
who dug up a portion of the foundation
of the old John deary house, near Golln
zu, as published lu the Kki'UBI.ican last
week, In the hope of finding the buried
treasure of the old man, does not seem to
be flagging in any degree, and it would
seem there are others who are not averse
to helping themselves to a part of the
swag." It is known that a couple of
Tiouesta gentlemen drove out quite early
one morning quite recently in the direc
tion of Gollnza, and were seen to put a
pick and shovel in their buggy, and it is
also said they had a satchel, telescope, or
some othor receptable in the rig when
they left. Along the way it is said anoth
er person joined them, but here the trace
was lost, and notwithstanding a close
watch was kept for their return they
seemed able to elude detection, and
whather they actually reached the spot
and found any of the hidden treasure will
probably remain a mystery. Certain it
is, however, that these particular gentle
men, so our informant says, were never
before known to have much use for a
pick or shovel, or to get up so early in
the morning for an excursion into the
country for their health or the mere
pleasure of It. So "the plot thickens,"
and the mystery becomes more mystify
ing! Were these enterprising gentlemen
after Cleary's supposed hidden gold, or
was their mysterious pilgrimage Into
the country a mere incident? Who can
tell?
Many Tlonesta frienda will be greatly
grieved to learn of the audden death yes

The main trouble with the "true sports
men of Oil City" is that they are not
wholly "without sin," hence are in rather
a poor position to "cast the first stone."
If they could be induced to forego their

it might serve to stiffen up their knees to
some extent, in which case they might be
able to make the other malefactors respect

The tenth annual reunion of tbe Osgood
Family was held last Saturday at the
borne of Otis Rudolph, at Otter Camp, a
beautiful spot located In the pine forest
ou the headwaters of Otter creek, in
Hickory township, and was the most
largely attended of the nine reunious
that have preceded this oue. At En
deavor tbe train on the little railroad was
held until the arrival of all the guests,
aud tbe cars were arianged with com
fortable seats made of long barge planks,
allbrding abundant room for the large
party of relatives and invited guests.
The ride of nearly nine miles up tbe
winding stream that courses through a
dense forest of pine and hemlock was not
the least of the pleasurable features of
the day, and the guests were especially
grateful to the accommodating engineer
of the train, Sammy Bocket, for the ar
rangement of so complete and coniform
ble means of reaching and returuiug
from the picnic grounds.
Arriving at their destination the din
ner tables were spread under tbe pleasant
shade of the beech grove surrounding the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph, the host
and hostess of this occasion, and who bad
left nothing undone that would contribute
to the joy of their friends. The spread
was immense, comprising as it did a
wealth of viands to appease the appetites
already well whetted by the long jour
ney through tbe forest. At 1:30 o'clock,
lod by Mrs. W. F. Jones, of Newtown
Mills, tbe company sang "Praise God
From Whom All BlesBiugs Flow," and
then the next hour was devoted to tbe
discussion of the splendid dinner, which
was followed by the business meeting
and several good alter-dlnner speeches.
Charles Hank head, of Endeavor, was
among the invited guests, and received a
vote of thanks for the nice eiitertaiumeut
all'orded witli Ids line phonographic mu

Extract
VANILLA.
Real Vanilla Is
Scarce.
Our Extract Vanilla is made from
tbe best Vanilla Bean. Much of
that sold is entirely artificial, made
from a coal tar product. Some is
composed largely of Tooka Bean.
Tonka costs about one sixth as much
as Vanilla. It makes a good tobacco
flavor but is not fit for food. Care
ful housewives those who take pride
in their cooklog should use none
but the best. i
