latitude fur some time past, Is to have bis
Inning, as the flue spell of weather seems
to be broken, yesterday morning opening
u 3 drear and dismal enough, with rain,
sleet and snow coming all at once. Few

thus enjoyed, and not set up a growl at
tbe first sppearance of inclement weather.
Since the strange disappearance of
Eben Oibba from bis borne near Kinzua,
on the l(ltb of last October the authorities
of McKean county and tbe relatives and
friends of tbe missing man have kept up
a dilgeut search and investigation with
the hope of finding some clue that would
lead to the solving of the mystery wbicb
surrounds bis disappearance, but up to
the present time tbe searchers have not
received one bit of encouragement and
fears are eutertained that tbe mystery
will remain uusolved. It Is one of tbe
strangest cases that has come to the at
tention of tbe authorities In this part of
the slate in many years.

flames. Dr. Dunn dressed ber injuries.

Io summing up tbe value of adver
tising, John Wanamaker, one of tbe larg
est and moat persistent advertisers in the
country, is quoted assaying: "Advertis
Ing does not Jlrk; it pulls. It begins very
gently at first, but the pull Is steady. It
Increases day by day and year by year
until it exerts an Irresistible power." Mr,
Wanamaker ought to be competent au
thority as be spends a princely fortune
every year in newspaper advertising.

The bazaar at Bovard's ball last Fri
day evening, given under lbs auspices of
tbe Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyter
Ian church, was doubtless the most suc
cessful affair of tbe kind ever held In
Tionesta, and was patronized by fully a
hundred people or more. No less than
eight booths were in operation and were
kept busy in dieposingof the great variety
of goods that were put on sale. Not a
single article was left on hand, and con
sidering the amount of labor and expense
devoted to each, there was a bargain In
every article for the eager purchaser.
Tbe serving of oysters constituted a feat
ure of tbe evening tbat was well patron
ized and much enjoyed. The amount
netted for the church furnishing fund was
very close to the $200 mark, so tbe ladies
feel that they were well rewarded for the
great amount of labor expended in the
preparation and carrying out of the suc
cesslul affair.
"Fish Commissioner William E.
Meehan bas been asked to make an In
spection of tbe Clarion river on one of the
most original complaints ever filed in bis
office. It is to tbe effect that the stream
is so polluted by acids aod refuse from
manufacturing plants that no living
thing can reins iu In its waters and the
commissioner says that he has been in
formed that cows wading in tbe stream
lose the bair from tbeir legs, while tbe
ducks long since quit tho water because
the acids ate offtbeir feathers and crippled
tbeir legs," says tbe Harrisburg Tele
graph. Mr. Meeban says that tbe river
is tbe most polluted in tbe stale and tbat
tbe business men of tbe towns along Its
banks are writing for state aid for better
conditions. Tbe commissioner will con
fer with members of the legislature at
Pittsburg in regard to ways and means
to improve stream conditions within

To Care for Venango's Prisoners.
Forest county does not have any pris
oners in Its cqunty jail and, evidently, It
wants some, for tbe County Commission
ers baye received a letter from tbe Sheriff
stating tbat be will be glad to accommo
date Venango county's jail prisoners
during tbe construction of tbe (ail in this
county next summer. Tbe commission
ers have practically decided to accept tbe
proposition.
It is likely that Venango county will be
without a jail for six or eight months and
there is no place in the county where
prisoners can be cared for. The Forest
county iail is located at Tionesta and the
train service between Franklin and tbat
place is good. Tbe authorities will be
able to go up in tbe morning and come
back before noon or go op in the after
noon and come back in tbe evening. Tbe
service is even better to Mercer and
Meadville, but tbe jail at tbe former place
ia usually full aod tbat at Meadville,
having been built In 1840, Is unsafe. The
jail at. Tionesta is practically new and is
secure. It Is usually empty, and the
Sheriff will probably be glad of an op
portunity to make a little money keeping
Venango county's prisoners. Franklin

Fire at 31 a) burg.
Saturday morning last about 8 o'clock,
the dwelling occupied by Fred Horner
and family, at Mayburg, was discovered
to be on fire, and while help responded
quickly to the alarm, tbe building could
not be saved, but burned to tbe ground.
As ill luck would have It, the large pump
which controls the water pressure In the
village, had been taken apart for tbe pur
pose of making some repairs not fifteen
minutes prior to the starting of the fire,
otherwise the building could bave been
saved. Mr. Horner's household goods on
the first story were about all saved, but
those on the second story were all con
sumed, entailing a loss of about ax, with
no Insurance. Tbe loss on tbe dwelling,
which was the property of tbe Watson
Lands Lumber company, about (500, was
covered by Insurance. The origin of the
tire Is not known.
The batiy of the family narrowly es
caped, tbe bed clothing on which It lay
having taken lire, but it was rescued unbanned.
A Cosily Lesson.
Last Friday a week Frank, tbe 12-year-old
son of Cbas Day of Tidioute lost a foot
while trying tojunip a freight train pass
ing through that place. The News notes
tbe fact in these wholesome words which
apply in almost all localities, Tionesta
being no exception: "The report is tbat
twenty-one little boys were on tbe train
at the time. Just how tbe Day boy was
hurt is immaterial. The fact is that be
and tbe rest were where tbey had no bus
iness to be. How to slop this train jump
ing? We don't know. We know of some
pareuta who resent beiug told tbat tbeir
boya are in dangerous business. We
think sometimes tbat there are other par
ents who dou't care, while of course there
are others who find ibe matter the
problem of tbeir lives. This accident will
aerve its lesson for a week or so and then
the business will be resumed. Tbe
doctors removed the left foot of the Day
boy about three inches above tbe aukle
and the lad seems to be getting along all
right. But, be like tbe rest, was 'having
a good time,' and goes through life a
cripple. In time the rest, If train jump
ing 1b persisted In, w ill eltber be crippled
or fill a grave in tbe cemetery."
