Tbe cry for a "sane fourth" still falls
on deaf ears, and tbe number of deaths
already reported, especially among child
ren, Is not much less this year than it has
been In the past. Fireworks in the hands
of children are certainly as dangerous as
poisons or Intoxicants and yet we have
strict laws prohibiting tbe sale of alco
hol io beverages to minors. Education
through tbe press has failed to have any
great effect, education by law should be
tried, a penalty placed on the sale or giv
ing away of any kind of fireworks to
children.
-Marathon monstrosities of one sort or

Apples, oranges, pears, peaches, lem

ries in fact, all the various acid fruits
are exceedingly wholesome io character,
and are capable of furnishing a very large
amount of nourishment in one's daily
diet. Strange as it may seem to the aver
age Individual, almost any one of these
fruits, lemons excepted, would fully and
completely nourish the body for a pro
longed and even an extended period, if
oue were for any reason compelled to se
cure nourishment entirely from food of
this character, although o I course it would
require a considerable period for the or

of absorbing ail needed nourishment if a

It is a rathei general Impression that
physicians make use of antl-toxln when
other treatment fails, or only In serious
cases of diphtheria. The teaching has ever
been that if antl-toxln is to be ol any
value at all it must be employed within
tbe first 86 hours, or before the poison has
affected serious changes in the body.
Anti-toxin Is of great value in those wno
bave been exposed to diphtheria but who
are not yet affected. The after results
from tbe use or this agent are no more
serious than those following any potent
drug, Tbe State Department of Health
furnishes anti-toxin free of charge to all
persons unable to purchase it.
Up to this minute all kinds of crops,
with the exception of bay and some fields
of oats, are doing well. Potatoes prom ise
a good yield and the acreage is Bbove tbe
average. Wheat, which is being harvest
ed, Is exceptionally good. Corn is gener
ally fair, but is suffering from cold
nights. Blackberry bushes are well
loaded but need more rain if the crop ia
to amount to much. If blossoms count
for anything there ought to be a big
chestnut crop, as the trees in (his vicinity
were white with them a week ago. But
ter nuts, which are already well along,
will be abundant, tbe trees being well
weighted with the fruit. So cheer up.
Things are going about right.
As to the speed to wbicb automobiles
may attain on tbe publio highways, sec
tion 14 of the new law says; "No person
shall operate a motor-vehicle on tbe
publio highways of this state recklessly,
or at a rate of speed greater than Is rea
sonable and proper, having regard to tbe
width, traffic, and use of tbe highway or
so as to endanger property or tbe life or
limb of any person; but no person shall
drive a motor-vehicle at a rate of speed
exceeding one mile in two and one-half
minutes; Provided, That tbe local au
thorities having charge of any of the high
ways may, in dangerous, congested, or
built up portions, place signs, marked
'Danger: run slow," and at these places
the speed limit shall not exceed the rate
of a mile in five minutes."

Under tbe title "Butter-side Down," The
Classmate, a paper for young people, ad
monishes persons who bave formed the
habit of grumbling at every unpleasant
Incident in their lives that tbey are mak
ing a great mistake, Commenting on
tbls easily acquired characteristic, the
Altoona Tribune says the person who
grumbles because bis bread falls to tbe
floor butter-side down, and who intimates
that it Is Just his luck to meet with ad
versities of that unpleasant sort, Is tbe
one who turns a black scowl toward the
heavens should the rain be falling on a
day selected for an outing. This is a very
bad bablt. Once indulged in it is likely
to cloud one's whole existence. He who
grumbles about the weather will com
plain coucerning the nature of bis work,
the surroundings of his bonie, tbe con
duct of the members oi his church, the
folly of bis parly leaders, or the general
nd chronic depravity of his fellow coun
trymen. He will eventually fret himself
nto a state of mind which will make blm
a disagreeable compauiou for himself, his
family and his fellow workmen. The
result may be very unpleasant lo him.
Those who succeed, who bave the confi
dence of tbeir employers, the regard of
their associates, the friendship of the
public, are not grumblers; they accept
the situation cheerfully. ,

New Presbyterian Church for Tlonesta
( At the congregational meeting of the
Presbyterian church Monday evening
the question of erecting a nrsr edifice on
tbe plana submitted by Architects Charles
& Bailey of Oil City, was unanimously
decided in the affirmative. Tbe meeting
was organized by tbe election of Judge
Samuel D. Irwin as chairman, and Mr,
A. C. Brown, secretary. The minutes of
the last meeting of tbe congregation, June
30, were read and approved, At this
meeting the trustees of the church were
appointed a committee to receive sub
scriptions toward a building fund, with
Instructions to report at tbe next called
meeting. This committee, through its
chairman, A. B. Kelly, reported that
subscriptions amounting to nearly $8,000
bad been pledged and enough more was
In sight to warrant the congregation In
going on with tbe work. Tbe report was
so encouraging that a motion to appoint
building committee with full aulborily to
proceed with the letting of tbe contract
and finishing tbe edifice, was unanimous
ly adopted. That committee was an
nouncfd and is com posed of the following
persons: A. B. Kelly, Charles Clark. W
F. Killmer, A. C. Brown, G. W. Robin
son, and S. S. Sigwortb. The first three
named are already trustees of the churcb.
Tbe building committee announced that
it would proceed at once with the nego
tiations and hoped to be able to submit
plans and specifications within the next
ten days, so thai tbe contract could be let
at tbe earliest possible moment. With
this understanding tbe meeting was ad
journed.
The plans as contemplated by tbe archi
tects have been on exhibition at the
church lor some time and bave been very
favorably commented upon by all who
bave examined them. They contemplate
a complete transformation and enlarge
ment of the present edifice into a modern
structure, capable of seating comfortably
nearly seven hundred people, which it Is
thought will be ample for years to come.
Tbe walls will be of brick veneer with
stone trimmings, and, judging from tbe
perspective view given with tbe plans
tbe new edifice will be a very handsome
structure, strictly modern In all Its ap
pointments. Tbe churcb is to be con
gratulated on tbe vim and enthusiasm
with which it bas taken bold of the pro
ject before it.
Two Bams Destroyed by Lightning.
During the very severe electrical storm
vbich passed over this section of the
country last Thursday evening about
nine o'clock (he barn of George Eduiis
ton, near Jobnlowen, Washington town
ship, Clarion county, and that of M. J.
Sand rock, near Lickingville, in the samt
township, were struck by lightuing and
totally destroyed by the fire which fol
lowed the bolts. The Edmiston barn was
a structure 30x40 feet, with shed attached,
and with the barn were burned a set of
harness, wagon, binder, hay fork, two
tons of hay, eight bushels of buckwheat
and twelve bushels of oats. A chicken
coop was also burned, but all but one of
the fowls were saved. A buggy and grain
drill were saved from tbe barn. Mr. Ed-
miston's loss will be close to t00, on
which be carried an Insurance of $500,
Mr. Edmiston is peculiarly unfortunate
as to losses by storms, bis house having
been struck by lightning some years ago
and badly damaged.
The Sand rock barn was a fine, large
structure, built on tbe bank plan,
wagon, corn shredder, some chickens,
oair, aud a lot of bay, straw ami grain
were destroyed with the barn. Mr.
Sandrock, who was at home alone when
tbe fire started, was enabled to save bis
horses and all the cattle except tbe calf.
He placed bis loss at about $1,500, on
which he had an insurance of $1,000.
Tbe reflections from both these fires
were plainly visible here and caused
considerable speculation as to their loca
tlon, but definite information ou the sub
ject was not received until tbe following
morniug. It was first noticed about 0:20
and tbe fires did not appear to die out
until nearly 11:00. Residents of Tylers
burg declare that the electrical storm and
rain was tbe most severe that they had
experienced In years.
