Mrs. Pearl Dougherty of Clarion was
operated on at the Kane hospital Tuesday
of last week for appendicitis and we are
pleased to state was getting along very
nicely at last reports. We hope to see

The law requiring the township au
thorities to remove loose stones from the
highways once a month is still In vogue,
although one would hardly think so from
the appearance of the average public road.
In many localities the law is apparently
a dead letter, and stones are allowed to
remain in the roads the year around. Tho
work of removing the loose stones is so
easy of accomplishment that it would
seem scarcely necessrry lo call attention
to the law so frequently.
It was reported that G. H. Lowe A Co.
had struck a good gasser in the well they
are drilling on the farm of Mrs. E. U.
Fredericks, In the extreme northern cor

near the Golioza oil and gas field, but the
report could not be confirmed, owing to
the distance of the well from any tele
phone communication. The Forest Gas
Co. are drilling a deep well at Bull run,
about a mile above Golinza. It is ex
pected to go to a depth of 1,800 feet.

A sample of the Standard Oil com'
pany's new "petrol butter" bas been to
celved by State Dairy and Food Couv

The sample looks about as muoli like
butter as common vaseline. What is true
of the looks Is true of the taste. The
sample came from New England, where
the product la sold widely as a substitute
for lard. It consists, says Food Co mm Is
sioner Foust, of 80 per ceut vasoliue, i per
cent salt, and 10 per coin curn-startch.
Under the Gerbericb lard law, passed last

The papers In adjoining counties are
again suggesting a workhouse to be used
by at least four counties In this section
of tbe state. There are now sixty prison
ers In tbe Erie county Jail who are living
on the fat of tbe land instead of doing
some public work to help pay for tbeir
maintenance. . So far as Forest county Is
concerned she has so few iailbirds that it
would scarcely pay ber to help maintain
a workhouse. The number of prisoners
sentenced to Jail terms in this county
soaroely averages one a year, and tbatone
perhaps only for a few days or weeks at
the most. So, at least, it has been for sev
eral years past.
A yellow rattlesnake nearly four feet
long and carrying eleven rattles waa
killed by two young men on their way to
tbe Pleasantvllle camp meeting, Sunday
morning, In tbe pubiio road near tbe
mouth of Hunter run, Just above tbe
railroad station. Mrs. John Gerow killed
a three-foot black rattlesnake Tuesday of
last week on tbe floor of tbe Gerow saw
mill on Hunter run, which Is only a
short distance from where the second
monster waa killed. This one carried a
buzzer attachment of seven rattles. Yes
terday forenoon a man passing along that
road with a heavy wagon drove over and
killed a three-foot rattler of the black
variety, In front of Ed. Sanner's home,
about two hundred feet below where the
yellow one was killed. It bad only two
rattles. Must be a den in that vicinity.
The plcnio of tbe Venango County
Outing Association which takes place at
Monarch Park, Oil City, tomorrow,
Thursday, bids fair to outstrip anything
of the kind ever attempted In this section.
Tbe program as outlined la attractive
enough lo suit every shade of taste and
desire, and from start to finish there will
be something doing, and it Is expected
tbe fun will extend well along into the
night. Two One orchestras and four first
class brass bands will furnish musical in
spiration. A professional company will
put on an attractive comedy in the after
noon for the special entertainment of tbe
ladifs, and for the men there will be
bowling and base ball. Moving pictures
and daucing in the evening. A veritable
Joy carnival all day In fact, and at the end
of tbe program a special train will bring
up-river pleasure seekers borne at mid
night. John A. Dawson, formerly of Stewart
Run, Forest county, but now residing at
Collingswood, N. J., Is pleased over the
fact that a duplicate of land warrant No.
30698, has been Issued and forwarded to
him by tbe Department of tbe Interior,
Washington, D. C. Tbe original warrant,
which was lost, was Issued to Mr. Daw
son's mother, Elizabeth Dawson, for ser
vices rendered by her husband, James
Dawson, In the War of 1812. James Daw
son waa one of the early settlers of what
was at that time Allegheny township,
Venango county, now part of Forest coun
ty, having located on what Is known as
the DawBon farm, at Stewart Ruu, In
1810, and resided there when he enlisted
in the War of 1812. Application was
made some time ago for tbe duplicate
warrant, by John A. Dawson, and its
Issuance was finally brought about
through the influence and kindly offices
ol Congressman William W. Cocks, of
Long Island Distriot, New York.
Our friend N. G. Cole, whose well
tilled farm lies across and back from the
creek a few rods about a mile below the
village of Nebraska, bas again had trou
ble with rattlesnakes, we learn. Last
Sabbath while tbe weather was almost
unbearably but, be sough' relief and com
lort by taking a snooze on bia lawn un
der tbe shade trees, and when nicely
asleep, little dreaming of danger, much
less of rattlers, what should the big yel
low four-looter do but crawl right out of
tbe woods and start across the lawn di
rectly toward the Innocent and unsus
pecting Nelson. About this time Mr,
Cole's daughter beard the warning rattle
of thesuake, and rushed to tbe door Just
lu time to see tbe faithful old house-cat
pounce upon tbe venomous reptile, which
in turn sprang at tbe cat and sank Its poi
sonous langs into the feline's anatomy
By this time farmer Cole was on his Icet
and In less time than it takes to tell it
bad the snake's hide on the fence, so to
speak. But in saving its master's life tbe
sagacious old cat lost bis own, dying a
few hours later from the ellects of the
snake's bite. This is the second close
call for Nelson within a jear or two,
aud we begin to suspect that the rattlers
are "next" to the fact that be is a rooted
and grounded temperance advocate and
wouldn't keep such a thing as "snake
bite" about tbe premises if a whole bri
gade of 'em should attack biiu.

cure tbe down-town grounds, which tbey
intended to play on. But Hickory played
a good game and need not feel burt over
their defeat at tbe bands of the Mayburg
boys, as both teams did good playing.

members of tbe team by pulling off

lug Mayburg work for what tbey got,
