Tbe Ixmdon "Lancet," the leading
medical Journal of tbe world, says that
the best and simplest fly-killer is a weak
solution of formaldehyde in water (two
teanpooofulls to tbe pint). Place in plates
or saucers throughout the house. Ten
cents worth of formaldehyde will last au
ordinary family all summer. It has no
oilensive smell, is fatal to disease orgau
isms, and is practically non-poisonous
except to insects. Pyrethrum powder,
which may be bought at any drug store,
burned iu the house will also kill the
flies.
James H. Hulings, of Parsons, W.
Va., a former Tionesta boy, has our
thanks for one of the pretty new Lincoln
penn ies, Tbe coinage of these new cents
has been discontinued because the de
signer placed his initials upon them, aud
it was supposed they would have a place
among the "rare" coins until it was
learned that something like 28,000,000 of
of tbem bad been turned out. This
makes about one penny for every third
person In the United States, which would
make tbe "cornering" of the output a
rather diiUcult matter.

flourishing tin shop and hardware store
there for a number of years, and the
building baa alnce served aa a general
store, dwelling and livery barn In turn,
and Its razing might be termed tbe pass-'
Ing ol a landmark. C. A, Lanson secured
the lumber and found some good clear
stuff pine.
Tbe dollar road tax has been giving
trouble all over tbe state and collectors
and othera have been having all kiuds of
difficulties iu collecting tbe same. Tbe
commissioners of Armstrong county to
get right wrote to the auditor general
about this tax and In reply have received
Information that the additional dollar tax
must be paid In each township in which
property Is owned. The opinion has pre
vailed that this tax could not be assessed
against property owners In tbe township
in wbicb tbey resided, but from tbe above
it is understood that tbe. extra dollar can
be assessed and collected In every town
ship In which property Is owned.
By the great horned chubs, listen to
this! A dispatch announces tbe fact that
"fine imported sardines, packed in olive
oil purchased at leading Pittsburg stores,
have been found to be common mongrel
minnowa, of the "chub" variety, used by
anglers at this time of tbe year for bait,
while the olive oil was discovered to be
manufactured from peanuts, as tbe result
of Investigations Just made by tbe State
Pure Food Commission." What next on
tbe list of great North A merican outraged?
The depletion of our streams of their
choicest baitfisb Just to satisfy tbe rapa

There is considerable doing In new
flagstone walka in town these days.
James D. Davis baa laid a dandy fronting
over a hundred feet of his property and
has graded up beautifully. Lee Davia
has laid a good stretch along the May
street side of bia borne, and J. C. Geist
and C. A. Lanson have made nice Im
provements in that line. All this through
tbe agency of Frank and Ted Joyce,
whose artistio work In this line cannot be
excelled. 'Squire Randall bas tbe stone
on the ground for an extension of several
rods frouting bis property on East Hi
lands street. G. T. Anderson, Harry
Werts and H. M. Zahniser have also
added new flag atone walks about tbeir
premises on Walnut street. Tionesta is
the best side-walked town in tbe state.
Here is an excellent description of a
certain species of two legged cattle, taken
from an exchange: "Some men are born
critics. There motto is, 'whatever Is, is
wrong.' Nothing that exists is to their
liking. Nothing happens to please them.
Tbey are chronic obstructionists, and at
tbe same time chronic iconoclasts. If the
mental dyspepsia of which they are tbe
wretched victims were more widely ex
tended this would be a lamentable land.
Fortunately tbey are not numerous; also,
they are quite harmless. After one gels
to understand tbeir possessions aud tbeir
limitations one rather enjoys tbem." We
all know tbem. Every community bas
specimens. Tbey are somewhat annoy
ing, at first, but in time come to be
looked upon the same as other curios and
freaks.

morning arose at 5 o'clock, and
without attracting attention, went to a
fish pond back of the barn and drowned
himself. The body was discovered about
four hours later by bis son George. Mr.
Deener'a untimely death is an enigma,
as bis own fiinauoial affairs were in ex
cellent condition, bis family relations
were ideal, and be bad recently succeeded
in paying off all obligations of tbe Red
bank Company. Criticism of some of bis
policies ia said to have caused him to
worry. The deceased was aged 50 years
and leaves his wife and six children. Tbe
funeral was beld on Saturday, and out of
respect to the dead superintendent all
central offices of the Redband company,
including the Tionesta exchange were
closed for tbe day.

such an establishment In Tionesta and it
will fill a long felt want. Quite a num
ber of men will be employed when tbe
business Is once under way.
