In the election table published In the
Republican last week, an error crept
Into the footing of the figures covering the
vote lor Mr. Hunt, the Democratic can
didate for Assembly. His total vote in
the county was 513, and not 673 as it ap
peared iu the table. The error occurred
in transcribing the figures from the offi
cial count. This leaves Mr. Mechling's
plurality VA. Those who are preserving
the table should make a note of this cor
rection. The newly elected board of County
Commissioners, consisting or Wm. H.
Harrison, John M. Zuendel and II. H.
McClellac, met in Tlonesta Monday and
agreed upon the appointments which they
will make on the first of the year, as fol
lows: Clerk, S. M. Henry, of Tlonesta;

Home, Mr. and Mrs. Truman L. Hill or
Kellettville; Janitor at the Court House,

The snow of last Friday and Satur
day came just lu time to afford good
"tracking" for deer, the season lor which
noble game opened on Sunday, No kills
have been reported in Ibis vicinity up to
the minute of going to press, but It is
claimed one party up near Magee sta
tion, above Tidioute, saw two flocks, one
of seven and another of six, thirteen in
all, but got none of tbem, the unlucky
number being a hoodoo, no doubt. The
season lasts but fifteen days, but with a
good tracking snow that is long enough
to create sad bavoo among the deer.
Some of our exchanges are saying
that the price of turkeys Is not going to
be so high this season, giving as a reason
that the dry weather of the past season
has been favorable to (be raising of the
birds. But we don't believe the theory
is worth much, when as a matter of fact
we have seen, wittln less than a week,
turkeys weighing eight to ten pounds on
toot selling for three dollars and upward.
That's a little too rich for the average
conntry printer, we're thinking. It's
downright prohibitive, in fact, and we're
in favor of taking the tariff off of 'em, if
that'll do any good.
The telephone is becoming pernici
ously active in aiding and abetting
criminals In their nefarious undertak
ing. At Erie a robber sent a fake mes
sage to a meat market, asking the man in
charge to request a clerk , in a grocery
across the way, to step over to the market
and take an order. While the clerk was
"taking the order" the thief was taking
the contents of the grocery till. In dif
ferent localities, before making raids,
crooks have telephoned residences and
learned from domestics that the residents
were away from home. Such methods
are about on a par with telephoning false
news Items to a newspaper, Blizzard.

One of the perils of tbe fall which
science understands better than it did a
few years Bgo Is the timid surrender to
the weather which is still too common
when tbe winds begin to bite and tbe
storm clouds are dark and menacing,
says the Cleveland Leader. It is danger
ous to try too hard to escape exposure to
harsh climatic conditions. At this time
of the year it is easy to fall into the habit
of shunning what is called exposure to
the weather. Indoor life seems far more
comfortable tbau tho open-air kind, when
rain is falling and the wind is almost
violent enough to make a deep-sea sailor
admit that there is a storm. In the late
autumn, therefore, the need is greatest of
keeping upon intimate terms with tbe
outdoor world and living close to nature
That is tbe way to carry a good stock or
vitality and health into the winter and be
prepared to meet all tbe rigors of the
severest season, In the best possible con-'
diticu for health and safety.
, ,iu early closing In of winter with
out the semblance of rain or flood preced
ing la another of the strange freaks of
nature this season, but old timers pre
dict that it will not last, and that we shall
baye the usual supply of water before
the actual setting iu of winter. Owing to
the low stage or water and lack of cur
rent the Allegheny river has closed with
Ice at several places between here and
Clean. A boat flood Is badly needed to
more the barges aud boats at Nebraska
and Hickory, the accumulation of several
month's building being still moored at
those places.
Further particulars of the death of
Hon. Henry Brace, mentioned In our
last issue, are taken from the Tidioute
News: Death came very suddenly at bis
home at Santa Clara, Cal,, on Nov. 2d.
"Mr. Brace had gone to his stables and
his man was preparing to drive him to
the station, as he bad planned to go to
Oakland. He complained of a pain In
bis heart, and lay down on a cot, while
tbe man hastened into tbe bouse for as
sistance, but when help came, Mr. Brace
bad ceased breathing." Tbe News fur
ther states a fact which 'is patent to all
who knew the deceased In this communi
ty: "As sheriff many an unfortunate
man will remember him gratefully.
Liberality Itself, Mr. Brace often gave
of his means to save the property of the
unfortunate."
William Helm, aged 66 years, and a
former resident of Tidioute, died of
asthma at bis borne at Colorado Springs,
Colo., on Friday morning, Nov. 6. Since
going to Colorado 10 years ago, Mr. Helm
had been actively engaged in the develop
ment of Cripple Creek mining properties.
He was also Interested in Pennsylvania

the deceased. Mr. Holm is well and very
favorably remembered by many friends

Death came very suddenly to Wil
liam Austin, for tbe past 23 years station
agent on tbe B. A O. R. R. at Marlenville.
Last Friday evening about 4:30 o'clock,
not feeling well, be had gone to the office
of Dr. Hess for consultation, and finding
the doctor absent called him on tbe
phone. The doctor responded at once,
but before he reached tbe office Mr. Aus
tin had expired, tbe cause being diag
nosed as neuralgia of the heart. He bad
not complained of feeling unwell until
that day. Tbe community In which tbe
deceased bad so long resided was greatly
shocked by the announcement of this
sudden taking off of one of its best known
and most highly respected citizens. Mr.
Austin was aged 45 years, and is survived
by bis grief-stricken wife and two child
ren, Edith and John. Tbe funeral was
held yesterday, the interment taking

Investigating' Barnes' Story.
Adam Rutb, alias Frank Barnes, has
again made good a part of bis story and
tbe New Caslle counnils will, without
doubt, appropriate tbe money necessary
for Investigating the case and trying tbe
alleged murderers of City Treasurer John
Blevins, over ten years ago. The Law
rence county officials, together with Sher
iff Williams, Deputy Sheriff Mcllbenney
and Barnes, on Tuesday drove over the
Mercer road leading to New Castle. It
was this road which Barnes alleges that
Wilder and his companions took alter
the murder of City Treasurer Blevins.
On tne way out on this road Barnes
pointed out a number of bouses where
tho three men stopped, aud several places
where they hid during tbe day. The
localities were all of such a nature that
Barnes' story was believed by those wbo
accompanied bim. So well did Barnes
trace the men, that in every detail bis
story tallied with tbe localities alorg the
road, and the New Castle authorities feel
quite certain that at last they are on tbe
track of the men who committed the
shocking crime of ten years ago.
In this connection the Frauklln News
has tbe following: "C. U. Akens, of New
Castle, tbe Blevins investigators, has
published an announcement in the New
Castle papers to the effect tbat be will be
In bis office Ibis afternoon and evening to
talk with persons wbo allege to have
knowledge of tbe buildings and sur
roundings which Barnes tells about in
bis story of the Blevins murder. He
makes an appeal to tbe people to give the
story a fair and thorough investigation
and not to condemn It until It has been
proven unworthy of belief. The New
Castle Herald regards tbe story as a fake
and declares that Barnes is only trying to
save himself another term in tbe peniten
tiary. Tbe New Castle News takes the
opposite view of tbe case."

yon consider it very
important to feel there
is absolutely no question
about quality. When
you buy here you don't
pay any more, perhaps
lees, than an indifferent
store, but you are
Certain About
Quality.
That point alone is more
important in choosing
Diamonds and Jewelry,
Watches and Silver
ware than auy other
