Speaking of "the first ripe tomato,"
none have been offered at tbia shop up to
the hour of going to press, and it there
fore becomea us to do the "early garden"
stunt ourself by announcing that, out of
our own garden, we are eating the rip
ened fruit. So now, Mr. Smith, editor of
that Punxsutawney patcb, where are you
with that weed plot of which we beard H
much last February, when the thermom
eter was registering all Ihe way down to
40 degreoa. Come, now, ripe tomatoes

Farm labor Ib so scarce in Lawrence
county that farmers are even calling up
Sheriff Whaley to ascertain if there are
any prisoners to be discharged soon who
might likely be induced to lakes job at

plications bave been received by Ihe
aheriff within the past few days but as
there bave been few prisoners in jail no

the call from farmers Sheriff Whaley ba
had many from contractors and manu

The regularity with which the "last
raft" goea down the west branch of the
Susquehanna river each spring is not
any more remarkable than that with
which the "last tract of virgiu forest" la
sold to be made into lumber. The latest
of these tracta bas been purchased by the
Mctieo-Howers Lumber Company from
A mils and Daniel Umbo. The tract lies
in Hull township, Jefferson county, aud
oonsista of severity-five acres, live of
which have been reserved by the Urubes,
Hemlock, oak and pine are to be found
on the tract, and it is estimated that It
will cut 1,600,000 feet. The tract bas been
a show place In the vicinity for come
time, and is the only piece of untouched
forest in that part of the state. A band
milt for cutting the timber will be erected
at once.
During a storm last Wednesday eve
ning a bolt of lightning struck the house
of Mrs. W, A. Grove, but fortunately in
jured no one and did only slight damage.
The bolt followed the cbimuey down,
plowed a bole through the tin roof and
exploded lu oneof the upstairs bedrooms,
Mrs. Grove and Miss Nottie Hunter were
iu another part of the house and were not
affocted, not realizing for the moment
that the bouse bad been struck. On the
following evening the farm bouse of
Warren Carll, on German Hill, was en
tered by a bolt, but aside from knocking
a guu which stood in the corner of a room
into smithereens no damage was done.
A chestnut tree standing near the bouse
of J. P. Kelley, a short distauce from
Card's house, was badly shattered by a
bolt of lightning the same evening. One
of the members of the family in the house
was prostrated for a few minutes by Ihe
shock of this bolt, but suffered no other
bad e Meets.
-P. Monroe Clark, for the past eight
years a patient at the Stale asylum at
North Wnron, has been missing from
that iiiNliou since Juno 30. For sev
eral years Tie has beeu in good health and
apparently sound iu mind, so that be was
allowed his liberty during the day and
permitted to go out at will, but was ex
pected to report at eveulng time, a condi
tion which be bad never before failed to
observe. On Sunday, June 30, he went
out In tho woods as usual but failed (o
return in the evening. Diligent and per
sistent search of the surrounding country
bas been made, but without avail. Mon
roe was reared iu Tionesta, was liborally
educated and was a man of superior tal
ents. He was a lawyer by profession
and for several years held the office of
district attorney in this county. Follow
ing the death of his wife and a nervous
breakdown bis mind became deranged
aud he became so violent that it was nec
essary to confine blm in the asylum. Il
is said that alter his mind cleared up be
often expressed a desire to be released
from Ihe institution, but the authorities
did not consider such a step sale, he hav
ing once before been taken out and soon
relapsed into the tame violent state.
Mrs. Anderson, wife of our former
townsman, A. P. Anderson, died at the

George F. Watson left Saturday for a
trip to tbe Pacific coast expecting to be
absent a couple of months. When be re
turns be will be accompanied by Mrs,
Watson, who has been visiting friends In
Oregon and Washington for two months
past. Mr. Walson bas been a very busy
man for more than six months past, and
foels that a rest will do biin good. He
bas left bis extensive business here in
the bands of bis sou, Harry Watson, a
member of tbe firm of Coleman A Wat'
son, and wbeu be returns he'll find tbe
big lumbering plant in full operation and
running as smoothly as though be'd been
continuously on tbe Job himself.
A decision just banded down by
Judge Sulzberger in tbe Philadelphia
court of quarter sessions, provided it Is
upheld by tbe supreme court, will proba
bly make considerable trouble. The
jurist has declared illegal and unconsti
tutional tbe parole act of 1009 by which a
maximum and minimum sentence of
Imprisonment may be given by judgea
when sentencing prisoners to the peril
tentiaries. By this aet, providing a pris
oner baa behaved himself during bis
term lu tbe penitentiary, be may be re
leased on parole. Judge Sulzberger bait
decided that tbe minimum part of the
law la Illegal and Invalidates tbe whole
act. Just what the result of such a de
cision, if confirmed by tbe higher court,
Is not quite plain, but It seems that sen
tences under the law were illegal and
that prisoners will bave to be returned to
tbe counties and again sentenced, other
wise prisoners would bave to serve tbe
maximum sentences Imposed.
miss Heme J urner entertained a
bunch of her friends in fancy work Tues
day afternoon. It developed Into an
"announcement party," as telling the en
gagement ofMiss Nellie to Prof. W. W.
Coon of Manilla. Tbe place cards were
very handsome cards, handpaiuted by tbe
pupils of Prof. Coon's school, on which
was painted a Philippine water scene in
which a boat figured. On the back of tbe
cards was written, "In a bancs, strong
and staunch, one among you may aoon
launch." Tbe conceit was very pretty.
Among those present from out-of-town
were Misses Justina aud Aline Slgglns,
Miss Mary Cassey, Hickory; Miss Marie
Clark, Ripley N. Y ; Mrs. Barbee, Phils
de'phia aud Miss Edith May Turner,
Wilkiusburg, Pa. Tldioute News. Both
Miss Turner and Prof. Coon were former
residents of West Hickory, where the lat
ter taught school befoie enlisting as a
Philippine teacher, and both are de
servedly popular with our people.
For a time back It was feared tbe rat
tlesnake crop in these parte might be a
failure this season, but from late reports
we believe the day Is saved. Out In tbe
vicinity of tbe Lowe oil lease, on tbe
west side, four were killed In one day
last week, Billy McKee'a shepherd dog
suapping tbe beads and rattles off two of
venomous reptiles with neatness and
dis latch. This particular dog is a terror
to snakes, it seems, and puts In a good
deal of bia extra time at bunting for tbe
"varmints." Ralph Cook, who does con
siderable livery business with bis auto,
ran over and badly crippled a big yellow
fellow up the Beaver Valley road tbe
latter part of tbe week, and when he got
out to finish tbe Job found tbe snake's
black mate hovering near, and made an
eud of both. Not less than a dozen or
more bave been slain out in tbe John's
run and Hemlock creek regions, at the
Don it A Foreman and the Coleman A
Watson lumbering operations. A num
ber have been killed in Ihe heavy pine
forest where tbe latter firm Is operating,
an ususual place to find rattlesnakes.
The extreme beat seems to be driving
them into cooler cover.

Monday's Local Storm.
Tionesta was severely storm struck
Monday evening, in lact while it lasted it
was about the worst our town bas ever
experienced, although no serious dam
age resulted aside from the destruction of
shade and fruit trees. Following a day's
oppressive beat the storm broke shortly
before six o'clock and at once assumed
the proportions of a tornado with a small
cloudburst occompaniuieot, deluging the
streets, clogging sewers and turning a
torrent of water over many a lawn and
garden.
The nearest approach to serious happen
ing was the striking of Sheriff Hood's
dwelling bouse, occupied by J. H. Cottle's
family, by a bolt of lightning. 'Ihe bolt
split tbe chimney, went through the roof
and from there jumped over into the
bathroom, evidently following the gas
pipe, and descending Into the cellar. Mrs
Cottle bad hurried to tbe bathroom a
moment before to close a window, and
she was severely shocked by the explo
sion, but quickly recovered from the
effect of the fright.
The greatest havoc was wrought among
fruit and Bhade trees. A large maple
next the street on the lawn of the Presby
terlan manse was blown out of root and
two cement blocks in tbe side walk
turned up by its roots. Two trees in A.
B, Kellys lot were blown down, aud one
on tbe old Proper homestead lot. Robert
Haslet lost au apple tree, and a walnut
tree on Mrs. Joseph Dale's lawn was
damaged. Two shade trees on the Hotel
Weaver lot were blown down. A large
willow in front of the Urey and Farmer
properties on 11 Hand street was blown
out of root, ami the choicest apple tree in
tbe editor's back yard was blowu over
and a good portion of the lawn dug up by
the roots. G. W, Robiuson lost an apple
tree, aud the orchard back of the M. E,
church sulfored severely, three apple
trees and a big hickory being twisted aud
torn up by tbe roots. An apple tree in
rear of the post office was twisted of)' at
the trunk. An apple and a maple tree
ou tbe Hassey property, occupied by
Station Agent Iinel, were damaged and
partially ruined. G.T. Audorsou lost a
pretty maple tlia', stood on bis lawn, and
Win, Wertz had a nice fruit tree partially
destroyed. Two trees on the II. O. Davis
lot occupied by Axel Aruson, were split
aud badly twisted. The historic old wil
low, on the bank of the river, struck by
lightning earlier in the season, was well
nigh finished by the storm of Monday,
having its top branches so badly twisted
as to practically ruiu it as a shade tree.
A hickory tree on W. H. Hood's lot was
twisted off ten feet above the ground, A
sba le tree on Judge Crawford's lawn, and
a walnut on ex-Mayor Reek's lot suffered
by tbe storm. Doubtless when the re
turns are all in it will be found there
were many others but this list covers
pretty well the havoc among the tress.
liy the cloging of a surface sewer back
of George Wilsons meal market a torrent
of water was diverted from Its course and
came streaming into bis back door aud
through bis building to the depth of near

A Lot of You Men are 20 Years Behind
the Times in Clothes Buying.
You don't know what's going on.
You're out of date.
If you did all your business as you buy clothes, you wouldn't last a year.
Many men will not buy ready-made clothes; they think good lit, good fabric,
good tailoring are not to be had, ready-made. You may feel that way yourself.
If you can afford to pay the good tailor anywhere from $36.00 to $60.00 for a
Suit or Overcoat, do it. That's a form of luxury you may feel entitled to.
But if you pay less than these prices to the ordinary tailor, you'll be money and
satisfaction ahead to wear
Adler-Rochester
Ready-to-Wear Clothes, all-wool tailored in their own shops, which are not only the
model tailor shops of Rochester, N. Y., but of the United States, perfect in style;
better in every respect than you'll get from any but the good tailor.
And in addition we will do something the ordinary tailor never thinks of doing
buy these clothes on our say so, and if they are not fully satisfactory in all ways
return them, and we'll refund your money.
$18.00, $20.00, $22.60, $26.00 and $30.00.
