Joins Mexico, there are two saloons, one
on each side of the frontier, A man buys

change. With this be crosses the border,
goes into the Mexican saloon, bands over
the Mexican dollar for a ten cent drink

which he started. Who paid for the

Notwithstanding the unprecedented
drought which has prevailed for the past
month or more, the low water mark has
not yet been reached in the river here.
On Sept. 6, 1894, J. D. W. Reck made a
low water mark on the middle pier of
the river bridge, with a chisel cutting a
scale of feet, the date aud his initials on
the stones of .the pier. Mr. Reck has
been keeping close tab on the stage of the
water now and in company with J. W.
Landers made an examination of the old
mark on Tuesday aud found that it yet
lacked one inch of being as low as in
1894. At that time the bottom was dry
between the pier and the shore next to
the railroad. As the river seems to be
about as low now as It could possibly be
without going dry, we feel sure that Mr.
Reck has established the lowest "low
water mark" on the Allegheny river, as
all others have been passed some time
ago. His mark is In the eddy on an im
movable object and not on a rillle.
In the ball game here Saturday after
noon between Tionesta and Fryburg, the
score stood 4 to 4 at the end ol the ninth
inning and both sides agreed to call it a
draw on account of darkness, it being
impossible to see tbe ball. The game de
veloped into a hot contest, especially after
Lilly, the Oil City pitcher, went Into the
box in the second inning. He held tbe
home boys to three hits. Foreman also
pitched a fine game and Fryburg could
not score until the eighth. Three of their
runs in that Inning came in on a hit that
was foul by fully fifteen feet but which
the umpire allowed to go as a home run.

Lament II. McElhatten, who attempted
to murder bis wife and then fired a bullet
into bis brain through his right ear, early

hospital at 11:30 a. m. He never regained
consciousness. Tbe body was taken to
his native home near Sbippenville, Pa.,
where his mother resides and where the
interment took place Friday.
McElhatten was erratic, and given to
drink, but a neat dresser, and bad a pleas

not been a frequent occurrence. He was
born in Beaver township, Clarion county,
October 3, 1807. His father, John McEl

year ago, was for some years teller of the
Clarion bank. When "Mont" was 12
years of age be apprenticed himself at tbe
painting trade and in 1891 went from
Clarion to Chicago where be was em
ployed in painting buildings at the
World's fair, coming to Oil City in 1892.

driuk made bim a poor provider, most of

McElbatten'practically supported both
by sewing.

1908, and relieved the suffering of tbe be
loved mother of the household, after an
illness of more than a year from a com
plication of diseases. Kosa Gayetty Rich
ards was born in 1841, and was therefore
aged 67 years. After her marriage to
Wm. Richards the lamily resided for a
number of years in Tionesta, moving
from here to Mayburg, which has boen
tbeir home for many years. Tbe de
ceased had been a devout Christian wo
man nearly all of her lifetime, the greater
portion of which was spent in the service
of tbe Master's cause, being a great help
and insperation to her husband in bis
Christian labors. Of a kindly, amiable
disposition she drew around her a host of
friends to whom ber demise has come as
a great shock and grief, for she was be
loved by all who knew ber. To the fam

The Worst Drought In Tears.
The present drought is by far the worst
known to tbe oldest Inhabitant, and is
daily becoming more serious throughout
all sections of tbe country. Locally there
has not leen as much suffering as in
other parts adjacent to this particular
community. Added to this condition is
the fact tbat many destructive fires have
been raging in all sections of thecountry,
and for nearly three weeks the dense
smoke has bung like a pall over the land
until at timos the entire firmament has
been obscured. Tbe almost entire ab
sence of wind has beeu favorable In the
saving of property from fires during this
period, but the ground Is so parched tbat
the earth itself will alomst burn. In many
places there has been no rain for two
months past, and rivers are lower than
tbey have ever been known before, while
smaller streams are entirely dried up.
In this connection the Associated Press
on Saturday sent out the following from
Pittsburg:
"With forest Qres destroying much
valuable property, the enforced suspen
sion of many industries, crops ruined,
live stock Buffering, river navigation at a
standstill and numerous small streams
absolutely dry, a drought, which has
practically been unbroken for over two
months, is fast assuming serious propor
tions in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern
Ohio and West Virginia."
The extremest caution should be exer
cised in such a case as this. Water should
be used very sparingly on all bands, as
there is yet no sign of an abatement of
the dry spell. While Tionesta has had
good supply of wator for domestic use so
far there should nevertheless be no waste
whatever as It may yet become very pre
clous. In Titusville tbe mayor has ad'
vised a cessation of street sprinkling on
account of tbe water famine which threat'
ens the city, aud other towns are taking
similar measures to husband their water
supply. If sprinkling is dene in this
borough it should be most sparingly.
Better endure the dust nulsauce for a sea
son then run the risk of baying no water
in case of a fire.
Is Held For Trial.
John Sassenrock, a native of Poland,
employed as a laborer by tbe P. R. R. at
Dawson, this county, was robbed on Sun
day last week of his savings, amounting
to f )97. On Wednesday one ol his fellow
countrymen and co-laborers quit work
and went to Oil City. He was suspected
of knowing where the other mau's money
went to and was arrested when hearrived
there. When searcbod at police head
quarters 135.45 were found in his posses
sion. The man's name is Simon Parcka
kl, and his arrest was made by Captain
Sbanefellerand Patrolman Brnphy, who
searched the man and found that wrapped
around his ankles, was a sum of money
identical in amount with tbat lost by Sas
senrock. The suspected man was
brought to Tionesta Thursday morning
and given a hearing before Justice D. W.
Clark, who bound bim over to court in
the sura of $500 bail. Being uuable to
secure bail tbe man was lodged in jail and
will have bis trial next week.
Sassenrock conducts a boarding house
for foreigners near Dawson station, and
on the day on which he missed the money
had been asleep for several hours. When
be awoke he discovered his money was

vals, say: "We want some more paint,
and we want Devoe." We know it isn't
in human nature to paint very often; we
don't expect them to come very often;
don't want 'em to. All we want In to
paint what tbey have to paint, whenever
they paint it; tbe longer the time, the
surer they are to come-back. There's
business enough in the world; there are
houses enough to paint; let 'em take their
time.
