We had a very pleasaut visit on
Wednesday from J. A. Walter, of Ty
lersburg. Mr. Waller Is an old timer
having carried mail from Tionesta to this
place oyer 30 years ago. The trip took
two days allowing him every night at
home and was known as the trl-weekly
mail route. Clarion Republican,
Jacob Wagner, of Harmony township
bas purchased of Mrs. John Wilson, a
tract of 123 acres of land lying next to his
farm, and will begin soon to improve and
clear It up for pasture and farming pur
poses. This makes quite a good sized
farm for Mr. Wagner, taken in connec
tion with what be already bas under cul
tivation. A bay mare of the following descrip
tion was stolen from Harvey Hugbea In
Cranberry twp., Venango county, Friday
night; White strip on face and white
hind feel; 10 years old and weighs about
1.150; right eye affected by a "moon." A
buggy taken at the same time was an
open one, though it bad formerly had a
top, aud one wheel was in bad shape.
A trio of our young men who have a
boat-bouse located on the bauk of the
river at the foot of H Hands street, have
flung a large banner to the breeze on
which they have inscribed in artistlo
fashion the name of their organization
"The Big 3 Canoe Club." The banner is
a large one and makes up for any lack In
membership of the club that may be
noted.
The Tionesta Summer Normal started
yesterday with an enrollment of fifty-six

The faculty consists ol F. W, Gill, princi
pal, D. W. Morrison, county superintend
ent, and C. F, Fell of the high school
faculty. That the school will prove a
complete success goes without saying.
The state dairy and food division

Some time ago mention was made
that the Chamberlain Military Institute,
located at Randolph, N. Y., would possi
bly be moved to Lakewood-ou-Chautau-
qua. It Is now stated Colonel Dunn, of
the Institution, has purchased the Kent
House, at Lakewood, and expects lo
move the school to that place about the
first of June. One object of moving the
institution to the shores of Chautauqua
Lake Is to give the 200 or more pupils a
naval as well as military training.
Henry Yarnell and a friend or two,
ovei in tbo southern portion of Harmony

largestof which measuied over five feet
In length, and the bide of tbis monster
can be seen at Hotel Weaver, although in
skinning It about eight Inches of the bide
was torn and bad to be cut off. We doubt
whether tbis record as to size will be
equalled this season.
A dispatch to the Derrick from Titus-
vllle has it that "A cow owned by Mrs.
Mary Archer, of East Troy, Crawford
-county, died today from hydrophobia,
which developed Saturday. The mad
dog owned by Jobn Lander, ot Tionesta,
which ran amuck In that section about
two mouths ago, was seen in the yard
with the cow, and it is believed the rabies
were contracted Irom the canine at that
time." Doubtless that dog of Joe's will
be beld responsible for the death of all
the cattle in Crawford county for the next
decade or two.
All the early fruit bearing trees are

Russell J. McQuillen, 89 years ago
editor of the Forest Republican, died
at the home of his brother in Butler, Pa.,
on the 3d Inst., aged 69 years. The de
ceased will be remembered by those who
resided bere at that time as a man of jo
vial, pleasant disposition, and above the
average in brilliancy and ability. He re
mained with this paper a little more than
six month", being succeeded In the capac
ity of editor and manager by the late W,
R. Dunn. He was a veterau of the civil
war, enlisting in the 57th regiment, P. V.,
in 1861, and serving gallantly till theclose
of hostilities. He is survived by one sou.
The burial took place at Mercer, bis na
tive home,
Ned Turner, who will be remembered
as a member of the Moderu Comedy Co.,
which showed here for .two weeks the
latter part of March, was found dead at
West Bingham, Pa. Mr. Turner left
bere April 12. In the Wellsvllle, N, Y.,
Daily Reporter of May 6 we find the fol
lowing account of his death: "The body
of an aged man was found at West Bing
ham, Pa., tbis morning, and it is believed
that he died from natural causes, but no
one bas been able to Identify bim. He
was a short, heavy built man,, between
sixty-five and seventy years of ago, and
from papers found in his pocket it is
thought that his name was Ned Turner.
Word was sent to Wellsvllle, as It was
thought that the man had some relatives
In this section, aud uuless some one
comes to claim the body, it will probably
be sent to the medical college at Philadelphia."
Work on the new road at Oldtown

"Mothers' Day" set vices at the Pres
byterian church on Sabbath morning
were attended by a large congregation,
and the white carnation worn in honor of
"Mother" was the adorning feature' of
every attendant. The pastor, Rev. Mr,
Bailey delivered one of bis best sermons,
paying many eloquent tributes to the
memory the mothers of our laud, and at
tributing to tbem anj their Influence the
good, the true and the noble that Is found
In the manhood and womanhood of every
generation. The singing was good at
tbis meeting, and the solo by Prof. Gill,
"My Mother's Beautiful llano's," was ex
quisitely sweet and touching, moving
many In the congregation to tears.
Though not given to spread eagle
speeches, our present representative in
Congress, Hon, N. P. Wheeler, of En

partments in Washington have learned to
know Mr, Wheeler as a man who never
gives up till he bas won the case for bis
constituent or found that there are obsta
cles in way that can not be surmounted,
and bence when tbey see blm coming
now they commence to get ready to grant
bis wishes. His tenaticity of purpose and
persistent activity bave won him many a

Ridgway Advocate,
The Tidioute News still places some
confidence In the rumored change of
management of some of the branches of
the old W. N. Y. A P. road, according to
the following: "A story bas been going
the rounds that the P. R. R. bas leased its
lines from Oil City to Buffalo and from
Oil City to Stoneboro to the Lake Shore
Ry. A special dispatch of Tuesday to
the Franklin Evening News from New
York denies that the N. Y. Central bad
made such a lease. As the Lake Shore
and Central are one and the same in tact,
while maintaining separate manage
ments, the denial does not oount for
much. The public will know as to tbe
facts when the railroads choose to an
nounce them and not before. However,
one fact Is known and that is that the P.
R. R. has been losing good money in run
ning those brauches, and that tbe River
Division, with poor train service as to
connections, bas been making up tbe
losses."
Tbe twenty-eighth convention of tbe
Women's Foreign Missionary Society of
the M. E. church mot In Tidioute, May
6tb and 7th, and was very interesting and
Instructive. Tbe first session began
Thursday morning at ten o'clock, Mrs.
A. S. M. Hopkins, Mrs. T. N. Rodgers
and Miss Ina Wilbelm conducting in
their usual efficient manner. The lecture
Thursday evening by Mrs. Flora Chow
deserves special montion; her ten years
missionary life in India made ber able to
picture vividly the life they live In India
from childhood to old age and some of
her pictures were heart rending. After
Mrs. Chew's lecture the ladies of the M.
E. church gave a reception to tbe dele
gates of the convention. They served
light refreshments, after which a social
half hour was spent. The muslo of tbe
convention was exceptionally good. Tbe
organ was ably presided oyer by Ralph
Siggins of Tidioute and a dozen special
numbers were well rendered by ladies of
Oil City, Franklin and Tidioute. The
convention closed Friday afternoon, all
feeling tbe time bad been profitably
spent. Mrs. McKef.n, Press Com.
Tbe Oil City Blizzard gives tbis
graphic description of one of the most
sublimely beautiful sunrises that bas eyer
been wltnossed In this latitude, on Thurs
day morning last: "Oil City residents
who believe In the early bird theory were
repaid for their efforts this morning by
witnessing one of tbe most beautiful sun
rises that ever mortal eyes beheld. It
was a dawn triumphant over an emer
gence, from a night in which tbe moon
lit sky was laden with billowy manses of
clouds, broken up Into innumerable por
tions, resembling a river filled with var
ious sized cakes of Ice. This morning's
Aurora Borealis threw out an amber glow
that apparently bathed tbe whole world
in its great rlood of color, diffusing over
everything until the sun arose majestic
ally to claim Its own, causing Ihe amber
glow to become submissive to its own
immense radiance. Tbe phenomenon,
it is believed, arose from atmospheric
conditions, and was a sublime spectacle."
At tbis plane tbe wonderful beauty or tbe
heavans was still more enhanced by the
appearance of a gorgeous rainbow in tbe
western sky, the rim of which extended
almost to the zenith.
In tbe spring time it Is apropos to
militate the moon superstition, for it Is
nothing else. Tbe Department of Agri
culture states: "There Is nothing in the
believed effect ot tbe moon on planting.
The farmer or gard ner may plant his crop
any time the ground is ready and weather
right, without regard to the conditions of
tbe orb of night." The experts of tbe
agricultural department made a special
investigation of the moon myth and find
it one of the few myths dating back to
pure savagery and has not a fact to sup
port it. f be field workers of the depart
ment of agriculture found that 75 per
cent, of tbe farmers put In their orops and
do other tbingsabout tbe farms, governed
by the moon's phases, Instancing the
planting of potatoes in the dark of tbe
moon. Tbe experts' verdict is that the
one difficulty about this theory is it is not
true. Not oo ly do some farmers go by
the moon as to planting their crops, but
tbey also believe of pork, when hogs are
killed under certain conditions of Luna,
that the fat, when cooked, all goes to
water. This theory, though it seems
ridiculous, is believed in by many per
sons, and they follow the superstition
when ready to butcber.

A Splendid Exhibition or School Work.
The school display Friday was well at
tended by tbe patrons and friends of tbe
school. At two o'clock the doors of the
school building were thrown open and
from that time until four o'clock a con
stant stream of people beginning at Room
No. 1 passed through all the rooms, and
lastly In high school, where dainty re
freshments were served by the members
of the senior class.
In former years there bave been dis
plays in tbe primary departments but
this display showed the work from Room
No. 1 to the high school and was well
worthy a visit. New lines of work were
brought out, particularly tbe water color
work in Rooms No. 1, i and 3, the col
ored maps and drawing in No, 4 and Ihe
free band drawing in No, 6. Add to tbis
the display of the written work and Tio
nesta has cause to be proud of its teachers
as well as its ohildren. All tbis meant
an immense amount of bard work and
study, which we believe all those who
saw tbe display fully appreciated, A
large part of tbe work of tbe teachers was
done out of school hours and they cer
tainly are entitled to the full meed of
praise for their efforts.
The decorations throughout tbe build
ing, which consisted of bunting, flags
and potted plants, were very pretty and
brought forth many compliments from
tbe visitors.
It is only fair to add that tbe past
school year has been a very successful
one and that much of the success is due
to the untiring efforts of the Board of Di
rectors, and to the Principal, F. W. Gill,
who bas proved himself thoroughly up-to-date
In everything pertaining to school
matters.
County Home A II re.
The Forest County Home caught fire
shortly after one o'clock last Wednesday
and for a time was threatened wilb total
destruction. Mrs. R. P. Bender was driv
ing past the building, which is located a
few rods from the river road In Hickory
township, made the discovery of tbe fire
and gave tbe alarm, which was quickly
responded to by tbe few men in tbe vicin
ity. Tbe County bas a good water plant
In connection with tbe Home with a good
pressure bebiud it, and a stream was
brought to play on tbe blaze as quickly
as could be, some difficulty being exper
ienced In getting next to the fire owing to
Its peculiar location. Commissioners'
Clerk Henry was notified by telephone as
soon as the discovery was made and iu
less thau thirty minutes a number of
men from Tionesta were at tbe scene tnd
helping to extinguish tbe flames, tbe dis
tance being sometbiug over four miles,
Tbe roof or the building was considerably
damaged as were also tbe walls and ceil
ing Inside, by fire and water.
The fire caught In tbe cornice of the
chapel roof, or main part of the building
twenty fet from any chimney and lar re
moved from any fire lu the Luildiug, aud
it is impossible to account for the origin
except oo the theory that mice, having a
neat in the box-like cornice had carried
matches to the spot and gnawed them in
to a blaze.
The home was erected about ten years
ago at a cost of sometbiug like f'W.O(K),
and tbe Insurance carried is about ball'
thatamount. An adjuster was bere Fri
day and figured the loss at a little less
than (200.
Caleb Towers' Lee In re.
- Tbe audience wbicb listened to Caleb
Powers, the distinguished Kentuckian,
deliver bis lecture at Ihe court house last
Wednesday evening was not a large one,
but we doubt whether Mr. Powers ever
talked to a more attentive gathering. The
small attendance was entirely attribut
able to tbe lack of advertising, the people
having bad but a few hours' notice of the
speaker's coming, a fact which, though
unavoidable, was very much regretted.
The story of Mr. Powers' awful persecu
tion in Kentucky is quite familiar to tbe
reading public, but a recital f tbe details
and bis graphic, though unlmpassioued,
description of it Is so intensely interest
ing and thrilling as to almost rack ones
nerves. Beginning with bis boyhood
days and coming quickly to the stirring
events which resulted In bis election as
Secretary of State, along with Governor
Taylor and the rest of tbe Republican
ticket in 18"J, be gave tbe details of bis
arrest, Incarceration and four trials on
tbe charge of being Implicated in the
killing of Senator Goeble; his more than
eight years' imprisonment, and Mb final
pardon by Gov. Wilson. The portrayal
of tbe events of these years of awful sus
pense was given without coloring and in
a manner to convince bis bearers that
every word spoken was the truth, and
that no taint of guilt attached to the
speaker. At tbe conclusion of his speech
an opportunity was given to ask ques
tions, and many availed themselves of
tbe chance to get Information on some
phase of the tragedy not already touched
upon.
Mr. Powers is still a young man; in
manner polished and gentlemanly, in
education scholarly and refined. All the
world loves a corageous man, one who
can bear bis troubles, unjust though tbey
be, without murmuring, and some day
Caleb Powers will be beard from in tbe
broader fields of national affairs.
