If the citizens of Franklin cau get to
gether on the proposition she is going to
try herself as a city of tbe third class.
There is yet a considerable division of

prove advantageous or otherwise, and
that's what they're figuring on now.
Surely tbe "Nursery of flreat men'
ought to be a city of some class, at least
It is no discredit to have enemies and

for the reason that they do not want ene

has no animosity toward tbe qulot citizen

Farmer Sohaffer, who Is tilling tbe
Proper farm at tbe top or German Hill,
was ploughing meadow land on Friday
last, the day after Thanksgiving, and the
ground was so dry as to make the work
rather difficult. It Is not often tbat one
witnesses such an uuusual condition In
this latitude, but this Is an unusual year,
tbe like of which has perhaps never been
known before. Farmers generally
throughout this section are doing much
ploughing during these first days of De

Ahorse driven by Councilman W.
N. Kelt of Franklin was killed on Tues
day night of last week under extraordi

to one side of tbe road. As it did so it
struck on tbe point of a stake In a fence
and was impaled. The animal died in a

Mr. Felt figures tbat each rabbit cost him
$15.

Tbe personal registration law has un

"Who is the governor of Pennsylvania."

-Thanksgiving day was passed In Tio

doing out of the ordinary. Family
gatherings, tbe home-coming of friends,
the suspension of all sorts of business,
and the exchange of pleasant greetings
among neighbors being the marked fea
tures of tbe quiet restful occasion. Union

.ug Mr. WhetJiur's election ex
. -ubtt account, filed shortly after the re
cent election, tbe Franklin New says:
It cost Hon. Nelson P. Wheeler close to
2,000 to be elected to Congress in tbe 28lb
district without practically any opposi
tion. But It is expected of candidates for
Congress tbat they help out the various
county committees, and Mr. Wheeler
came up nicely. His itemized statement
filed in the Prothonotary's office, shows
that be contributed to tbe various funds
as follows: Veuango county, $500, Mer
cer county, $500, Warren county, $500,
Elk county, $100, Forest county. $175,
Mr. Wheeler also gave $75 to tbe Green
ville Republican Club and $50 to tbe
Sharon Republican Club. His total ex
penditures were $1,078.78, and the re
mainder was spent for traveling ex
penses. The expense accounts of tbe candi
dates In tbe late campaign are being filed
at tbe Prothonotary's office, but are not
all in yet. Those now on file are as fol
lows: W. H. Pickens, secretary and
treasurer of the Republican county com
mittee certifies to an expenditure of $560.
J. C. Geist, Republican candidate for
Prothonotary expended $156.06, and his
Democratic opponeut, F. E. Hark less
spent $71.33. Cyrus F. Hunt, Democratic
candidate for Assembly; Ernest Sibble,
Rep., for Jury Commissioner; J. P. Kel
ly, Dem., for Auditor; Philip Emert and
II. H. McClellan, Democratic candidates
for County Commissioner, certify tbat
their expenses were less than $50. Wm.

tbat their expenses were $98.86, and

A report has been received by Dr. F.
J. Bovard, county medical Inspector, of
tbe state health department's analysis of
tbe samples of water from Marlenville,
which samples were sent to tbe depart
ment last week witb tbe statement tbat
tbe use of water from these wells was
supposed to be tbe cause of several cases
of typhoid fever now existing in Marlen
ville. Tbe report shows that the water
from tbe school bouse well was pure and
contained no bacteria. The water from
tbe Brockway well showed the presence
of 420 bacteria to tbe cubic centimetre, or
one-third inch ot water. Ouly six of
these were of the colon bacillus, which is
responsible for most cases of bowel dis
orders. No typhoid gorms were reported
in this water, so It will be necessary to
look elsewhere lor tbe causes from wbicb
tbe fever originated. Up to last Thurs
day night Dr. James Hess of Marlenville
bad reported to tbe proper health officer
tbat there were five cases of typhoid fever
under his care and stated that tbe proba
bilities were there would be more. All
tbe patients were doing well.
Tbe water problem in almost every
community Is as serious as It Is at Seneca,
Venango county, according to tbe "Kick
er" of tbat place, which says: Almost
every spring and well In town baa been
drained of the last drop of water and on
every hand one bears tbe question,
"What are you doing for water?" tbe
answer being usually the laconic one of
"Doing without" Tbe water well on tbe
W. P. French property furnishes tbe
water supply for about all the North
Main street residents, Mr. French pump
ing the tauk full every day for their use,
and were it not for Ibis our people would
oe In evtn worse straits. Tbe Barr
Bpring, hitherto full to the brim witb
clear and sparkling water, baa been
drawn upon to such an exteut tbat tbe
water is muddy and unfit for drinking
purposes, though a great deal is taken
out daily for bousohold use. A few other
springs about town are being drawn upon
to a large extent but most of our people
follow tbe practice of getting a pailful of
water wherever they cau, finding it Im
possible to get any quantity at one place.
Tbe water from sprines In distant pas
ture fields, long unused Is being hauled
for laundry purposes, and raia water Is
Jealously hoarded.

Drove 700 Miles.
O. A. Murray, of Gilfoyle, Forest
county, arrived in tbe city Friday Irom
Oblong, III., having driven tbe entire
distance, 700 miles, in two weeks, with
out accident and scarcely unusual inci
dent. When be left Oblong, Friday,
November 13, the ground was covered
with snow there, but the further east he
traveled tbe warmer the weather he en
countered. There was only one day's
rain on tbe entire trip that caused him to
remain one day at Kent, O. Mr. Murray
had been employed as a pumper in tbe
Oblong field, and owned pair of driving
horses, which are so cheap there Just now
that he refused to sell at the great sacri
fice demanded, and decided to drive them
to Pennsylvania, figuring that It would
cost him less than shipping. Fifty miles
from there be swapped tbe team for a
seal brown mare six years old, and it was
witb tbis nag and a rubber tired top bug
gy tbat be made tbe remainder of his
long drive. He drove over tbe National
highway to Spiceland, Ind., and over
country roads throughout tbe entire
length of Ohio, leaving tbe Ohio state line
at Oraugeville, and ca i e here via Mercer,
Greenville and Franklin. He left Satur
day mornlug for Gilfoyle.
Mr. Murray speaks highly of tbe high
ways of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Tbe
National road is about 30 feet wide and is
ot crushed stone, covered witb fine gravel,
and practioally level. Tbe roads through
out Indiana and Ohio he found to be
macadamized until Media county, near
tbe eastern end of tbe state, was reached,
wben tbe highways were of dirt. Tbe
highways near Akron are macadamized
and there are ix miles on either side of
Warren, O., of this material.
Tbe Ion nest drive be made In any one
day of 10 hours, was 61 miles, and at no
time while he was passing through Illi
nois, Indiana or Ohio, was he out of swbt
and sound of some habitation. Tiie only
place along tbe route where he saw any
thing growing In tbe vegetation line
were some fine appearing fields of wheat
in Mercer and Venango counties, Tbe
borse be drove Is a little footsore, the
tires bave been practically worn Irom his
buggy, but tbat is all tbe effects of the
wear and tear to be seen in tbe outfit.

Mrs. Anna Caldwell Haskln, of Chau

"Tbat money, I am certain, belongs to
my grandfather, Harrison (not John)
Caldwell. He was not crazy, as some of
tbe papers made out. He was never In
an insane asylum in his life. He was
queer and childish for about eight years
previous to bis death. There la more
than one man using bis money tbat
should belong to his ctlldren. He sold a
nice farm and no one kuowa what be did
witb tbe money. Tbe money that Ed
ward Woods and Thomas Dickinson
found rightfully belong to tbe heirs who
are WilliamS. Caldwell, John Caldwell
and Elizabeth Neyinan. I wish to bave
thiB published because I do not want any
one to think my grandfather was crazy.

dons for the commutation of the death
sentence of James Strail, of Venango
county, are practically tbat Strail was
emotionally Insane. To quote from them:
"The temple of bis home was defiled."
His wife would "not regard bis appeals
and spurned bim," "In the stress of his
excitement and mental agony be drew a
revolver and shot ber." He bad "ex
treme provocation," and "agony of
mind." He suffored from a "nervous
strain inspired by his wife's Infidelity."
There was on her part "a violation of
every principle of Christian and family
relations." To bim it was "domestic
treason." There was a "Haunting in the
husband's face" ol the"horribleoonduct"
of "wife and paramour." Therefore
Strail "ought not to die on the gallows."
