followed by Rev. Kdgar R. Tait, of Wam

Feb. llith. The meetings will cese with
communion on Sunday, Feb. 23d. All
are cordially Invited to all of these ser
vices. Saturday night waa tin coldest thus
far of the present year, tberinnmetera In
this plai e registering anywhere from live
to eight degreea above zsro at davlight
Sunday morning. We've all been wish
ing for enough freer.lng weather to make
an Ice hnrvest, but Just enough fren
ing will be aplenty for our townspeople,
who are guttering from a despt rate short
age of fuel gas and could not exist very
well In aero waiher. In Tlonesta il'a
been a case of ."tempering the winds to
the shorn lamb," this winter, Bure
enough.
The County Auditors' rep rt for the
past year is published in the Rkpuhlican
this week, and will doubtbss be scanned
with Interest by the taxpayers, who will
find, we think, a sstisfactory state of
airairs existing in thn linancial standing
of Forest county. The County shows a
balance In its favor of fH.ultl.M. with no
liabilities. The Poor account shows a
balance against the district of $1,544 20.
In other words, there are $10,000 iu poor
bonds still outstanding, with $3,455 80,
made up of amount iu treasury and un
collected taxes, as an offset. So that if
the county account could be transferred
to the poor account, the delicil could he
wiped out and the cottuty still be $0,101.14
to the good.

that would tempt any prophet to come
out of bis hole and have a look. If we
are now to have aix, or even lour, weeks
of winter It will please the populace
hereabout, for almost every sort of busi

Held. He holds leases of upward of a
thousand acres Iu Urukenstraw twp ,
which it is believed will turn out well,
and at the present high and rising pries

A note from L. J. Osgood formerly of
Endeavor, but now a resident of Fail lax,
Wash., states that they are having a snug
winter in thai section. ''The snow for
ihe past four weeks baa been 20 inches
deep at the mill and 5 feet In the loggiug
camp, but not uncomfortably cold, the
coldest morning being 10 above zero.
With this depth of snow, should we get a
Chinook wind for 41 hours it will cleau
out all the river valley in this section.
Tbia is the most snow they have bad here
in 20 wluters."
During the present shortageof gas fur
domestic use extra precaution sksIiibI
fires should be observed. With the gss
fluctuating between practically no pres

this extra pressure coming un usually
during fie night, when most Area are
turned off, the danger of Ore from over
healing Isgrea1 ly increased. Watch your
Area on retiring for the night, or when
leaving the bouse for a time, to see that
the valvna are not left wide open on your

Saturday Judge Reed of Jefferson
county sentence d Charles Abrama of
Summerville to 12 yeara In the peniten
tiary on a conviction of arson. Some
time last summer a large portion of Ihe
town of Summerville was destroyed by
lire which started in a store owned by
Abrams. Ills arrest as the responsible
person followed and bis trial resulted in
a jury disagreement. He was again
placed on trial and at the recent court was
convicted. A motion for a new trial was
overruled by the judge who passed sen
tence upon the young man. His father
says that an appeal to a higher court will
be taken. ,
General Manager S. C. Long of the
Pennsylvania railroad and other officials
of the company have Just completed an
Inspection nf the Valley division of the
company, where great improvements are
to be made the coming spring and sum

the company for the construction of three
long tunuels on that division' One of
these is to go through the bill bsck of
East Brsdy, and will cut off' what was
known to raftmen In the early days ss
"nine-mile bend," now called Brady'a
Bend. It is expected to shorten the dis
tance fourteen miles between Pittsburg
and Oil City by this system of tunnelling.

to learn 'fa novel invention on which he
baa receutly received loiters patent. The
gentleman now bolda a position with the
Diamond Rubber Co., of Akron, Ohio,
The invention consists of an improve
ment in typewriter keys and "has par
ticulnr application to a cap adapted to be
placed over and upon the ordinary key of
the marline in the same manner in which
the resllenl or cushion keys now in use
are applied, said cap beinu perfectly
firmed nf transparent material, such aa
celluloid or isinglsss-baving charactera
raised thereon, so tbat such keys may he
adapted for use In teaching or practicing
'touch' typewriting. Its object is to ou
able the typist to know, without looking
when he is striking the proper keyj to be
of benefit to the Inexperienced 'touch
typist' by enabling bim to know when he
is striking the wrong key, thereby giving
warning of any Impending wror, and
further, to provide a typewiiler key
suited to the use of blind operators, to
whom, in particular, it will no doubt be
a welcome advance."
Forest county men who have been In
this city and who have scoured the coun
try in tbia section for aome good heavy
working teams, have been unsuccessful
in getting any of tbeequines. There are
horses enough of this kind, but they
were not for sale, though the visitors
were willing to psy as high as $700 a pair.
One team was offered tbat could have
been purchaaed for $150, but this was not
good enough for the traders. The men
Intend goiug to the western end of the
county with Ihe hope of doing better than
they did locally.-Titusville Herald, 3d.
The Tidloute News reports tbat "P.

Thn rig for Ibe deep well on the Ger

The crew will consist of Joa. G. Richards
who was foreman on the deep well at
Mayburg, which was sunk to over a mile
in depth, Ed. Conger, Bruce and Gib
Hagerty of th la place. The contractor la
John K. Reck of Bradford, who has put a
very substantial outfit on the Job. The
final depth to which tbia well will be
drilled is undetermined, but sure it Is
that operations will go ou till every last
chance of tapping a proline oil bearing
ssnd has been exhausted. The outcome
of this venture will he watched with in

in oil operations. Up on the Kelly tract
near the Green township line, and about
lorty rods back from Tlonesta creek.

they will also go to extraordinary depth

The town of Leeper, Clarion county,
narrowly escaped a disastrous fire on
Friday night, Jan. 24th, through Ihe
heroism of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F.
Roth, who discovered the Are and put it
out without any outside help. About
eleven o'clock that nigbt Mr. Roth dis
covered a lire burning In a slock room
hack of Mrs. A. Dolby's millinery store,
on the second floor of the Roth building,
rie called bis wile and ran for water,
while Mra. Roth fought the Are with ber
hare hands, and In a few minutes Ibey
had Ibe (limes quenched. What caused
the Are Is not known but possibly a
match was dropped by some one who
had been In the room a abort time before
the Are broke out. The loss waa not
much over $150, confined to ihe millinery
goods, and waa covered by Insurance.
Mr. and Mrs. Roth have a grocery store
on the first door of the building sod liv
ing rooms at the rear of the millinery
store. Had ibe building burned a whole
row of buildings on the same side of the
street would no douht have gone with it,
ss ibe town has no water works.
The Oil City Derrick's oil report for
the month of January, which was Issued
Saturday, stated that at the close of Ibe
mouth there were seventy-six new rigs
and 144 wells drilling, an increase over
Decern her of seven rigs aud a decrease of
two drilling wells, in the New York and
Northwestern Pennsylvania fleid, the
summary nf operations in the Pennsyl
vania Aeld being as follows for January:
453 wells completed; new production,
4,410 barrel; 140 dry holes and gss
wells; 775 rigs and drilling wells under
way. Brad lord, Middle Field and Venango-Clarion
gave a slight increase,
while Allegheny and Rutler and Arm
strong showed less work, There were no
features of special Interest during the
month in any ofthesecounties. Weather
conditions were unfavorable to startiug
new wells except where the material bad
been moved in December, as Ihe con
tinuous rains made learning too expen
sive. In all the divisions 1.482 wells
were completed with a new production of
56 075 barrels. As compared with the
December report, there were Afty-three
more wolls completed and the new pro
duction was 8,250 barrels greater. The
Mid Continent flelds are responsible for
the greater portion of new completions,
though the production of that division
shows a large decrease. The Increased
output comes from Ibe Gulf Coast regltiu,
whore Afty-four wells were reported with
16 884 bsrrels greater luilial production
tliau in December.
