A Baltimore paper of recent date gives
an account of tbe saving of a young man
who bad attempted aulcide, after hours of
work by Dr. Wilbur Ledebtir, at St.
Luke's boapital. Tbe boy and a girl

drink carbolic acid from bottles. A by
stander knocked the bottle from the
girl'a band before It reached ber mouth,
but the boy waa not so fortunate.
One of tbe coldest days ol the present
winter was last Sunday moruing, when
thermometers registered as low aa 3 de
grees below aero. Sunday night brought
on about as heavy fall of snow as we've
had in a given time this winter and
sleighing was better tban wheeling Mon
day morning. A few houra of March sun
made things look different, and those
who came to town in sleds found It a
drag to reach borne with any sort ol load.
There is at least room for argument
aa to whether the proposed state road
from Oil City to Tlonesta, by the way of
Plumer, should be changed to go by the
way of Mr. Brundred'a duck farm and
Coal Hill. There is considerable country
out In the Pleaaantville district. Bliz
zard. Tbe people of tbis section would
greatly prefer a river route, that is, a
highway tbat should follow tbe east bank
of tbe Allegheny-a route which lor gran
deur and sublimity would surpass any
thing in tbe commonwealth. But if tbia
cannot be bad, tbe road by way of
Plumer would be preferable to tbe duck
farm route. However, its tbe road we
want first, tbe "haggling" as to location
can be postponed to a later date.
Tbe County Commissioners bave de
cided tbat there shall be no nominations
for township and borough offices at tbe

AH nomiuationa for township and bor

mauner as heretofore. In Forest county
the ouatom bas been to bold party cau
cuses at convenient places and at such
times as best suited the voters. As it
will not be necessary to tile certificates of
nominations until eighteen days prior to
the November election, these caucuses
can be put off till some late date In tbe
summer or early fall. In this way tbe
nominations for township and borough
officers will not interfere wltb or compli
cate matters at tbe regular J u ne prl maries.
Tbey are telling an awful mean story

placed some Llmberger cheese and
crackers in bis grip. About 12 o'clock be
awake, ate a oouple of sandwiches and
started toward tbe toilet to wssb the
rather heavy smell from bis bands. As
he passed the smoking compartment be
noticed the brakeinan sitting with bis
head propped against a window, content
edly snoozing. The drummer stepped
softly into tbe smoking room aud passed
his baud under tbe nose of tbe sleeping
brakeinan. The latter, so 'tis said, woke
up and at tbe top of bis voice yelled, 'Du

Clapp Lauds, Tionesla Twp, Sold.
A syudlcate composed of buainess men
of Jamestown, N. Y., bas completed ne
gotiations lor tracts 2822 and 2827, located
In Tlonesta township, Forest county, and
comprising about 2,300, acres much of it
undeveloped oil and timber lands.
There are many interesting incidents
connected wltb this business transaction.
In addition to its magnitude. It was
promoted by James H. Forbush, a for
mer resident of Oil City and superintend
ent of tbe Citizens Traction Co. lines. Tbe
property was originally owned by Edwin
E. Clapp and following bis deatb, was in
herited by bis brother, Captain John M,
Clapp, since deceased.
About 25 years ago the father of James
H. Forbush was landlord of tbe hotel at
President, wbere E. E. Clapp, the owner
lived. Mr. Clapp's eccentricities are part
of interesting local history, and one ol
these was to teat tbe two tracts for gas and
oil. He drilled seven wells and, it is
said, lound second sand In six of the
holes at a depth ol 800 feet and a strong
gaa pressure in tbe seventh, located in the
extreme upper end of the property. But
when tbe wells filled up 600 feet wltb
Huid, and Mr. Clapp proved to bis own
satisfaction tbat there was oil on tbe
property, be plugged each well as fast as
it was oompleted and few, outside of tbe
drillers, knew anything of these opera
tions. Mr. Forbush, then an observing boy,
was one of the lew outside who knew tbe
results of this secret test. Following tbe
death of John M. Clapp be interested tbe
Jamestown men and an effort waa made
to purchase tbe property from C. W.
Heydrick, Esq., of Meadville, the agent
In charge.
It was then discovered tbat John D. S.
Neely, a prominent capitalist of Lima,
O., and large owner of oil and pipe line
properties in the Mid-Continent field, bad
securod an option on the property. The
efforts of tbe Jamestown men to secure
tbe land in fee were abandoned until last
January. On the 7th day of tbat month
Mr. Neely was shot to deatb at Caney,
Kan., and the alleged perpetrator is lo be
tried in Independence this month. On
February 24 tbe option held by Mr.
Neely expired and tbe Jamestown men
promptly reopened negotiations with At
torney Heydrick, which have ended
successfully. Those who are associated
most prominently wltb Mr. Forbush in
the transaction are H. 1. Rash, George
H. Gilbert and Ziba L. Squiers.
Tbe property is about three-quarters of
a mile long by a mile wide and part of it
contaius a forest that has never known
the sound of a woodsman's axe, the only
section of vergin pine in tbis section.
Many of the trees have a height of at
least 200 feel and some of tbe pines are
six, eight and 10 feet through the butt.
About half of the timber Is pine, tbe re
mainder white oak and hemlock. It bas
been estimated tbat there are 21,000,000
feet of timber In the Iract. It Is located
six to eight miles from the river, but tbe
north branch of Homlock creek and Pine
run traverse the property.
It is probable tbat botb lumbering acd
oil operations will be inaugurated by tbe
new ownera early Ibis summer.

We Want to Say
A few plain matter of-fact words. This is a peculiar store. There is Dot a
store anywhere that is more anxious for your money. But no store in exist
ence will give you more for it ami no store in existence will do as much to
protect its customers as this store. We are not tbe only boneit store in Oil
City, but we go to extreme lengths with our honesty and we do so simply
and solely because it pays. We have no smart clerks, no small tricks, do
petty misrepresentations or humbugs. '1 he swarthy laborer witb bis tin
pall has to pay the eame price as his kid glove neighbor aod our coostaut
study is to sell only reliable gnoils und to sell them as near the actual cost of
production as it is possiblo to do.
We don't waut your money uutil you are satisfied you are gutting more
for it than you can get any where else and you can have it back any time
you call for it. You don't even have to tell us why you want it back. It
is enough for us to know that you du. If you want to do busiuess with that
kind or a store, drop in to-day and get

That is what women say of ordi

said tbe sam? of one of our
Flexwelt Shoes.
These shoes are the most comforta
ble ou the market because tbe soles,
made from high grade aod specially
tanned leather, are absolutely soft
and pliable, bending easily every
time tbe foot bends.
For style, for perfect footease, for
best wearing qualities at rnioirnum
prices, insist on "Flexwelts." We
can show them to you.
