The Bradford Era says I lie deep well being drilled near Derrick City, McKean county, may be in tbe white Medina sand but tbe drillers are not certain. The drill is now down 6,615 feet, and the fur matlun is exceptionally bard. The sand is grey and while, and looks exceedingly like tbe white Medina, but tbe driller, Mr. Kipgen, is not certain a-t be bad never seen such a predominance of the grey sand. A formation of slate is said to usually be found between the red and white Medina, but as yet no slate has been struck. Richard Zaholser, a aon of Rev. E, 8.

For some years past tbe State has re fused to appropriate money for the pay ment of scalp bounties on noxious sol- inalB, in consequence of which the coun ties throughout the State have been com pelled to refuse payment of these claims. A test case recently brought in Bradford county resulted in a victory for the plaintiff after having been carried to the Supreme court, and tbe result will be that tbe counties will probably bave to pay tbe bounties on scalps of animals named in the law.

The farmers are having a little bit the finest weather imaginable for tbe harvest ing of their crops, and they are losing no time in taking advantage of the nice con ditions. Tbe bay crop is turning out fsr belVav tban was hoped for a month ago and will be at least a good average gener- rally and better In spots. The wheat and rye crops are considerably above the average for this section and are being harvested in fine shape. And if nothing interferes between now and harvesting time the oat crop will be a bumper and no mistake. A finer prospect for this oereal never laid out of doors.

Stroup, for many years a faithful employe and ganger for the W II burine Oil Co., and who lately moved from Tionesta to Enterprise, met with a painful accident last Friday near bis botne. He had olimed a ladder to tbe top i f au nil tank lu tbe regular discharge of bis duties when tbe ladder toppled over and be was thrown to the ground, a distance of 6 feet or more. In the fall he struck on his left side, breaking both bones of tbe left forearm, but seeming otherwise to be unhurt. Aa evidence that he is getting along well It may be staled that be was able Monday to attend to bia usual work, where tbe use ol but one arm was necessary. While ''L'ge" Beatty, of Oil City, was patting tbe bead of a pet bow on the Mar lad farm, near Seneca, Tuesday, tbe un grateful beast turned upon him and bit him on tbe inner side of bis left arm, the tusks tearin the flesh and skin and scraping the bone. Home remedies were applied, but by Thursday the arm bad swollen to such great proportions and tbe Injury was causing Mr. Beatty bo much pain that he was compelled to call upon Dr. Monjar, of Seneca, for relief. It Is not thought tbe condition of tbe wound is due to Infection, but rather by the break ing down of tbe tissues by tbe teeth of tbe animal. Mr. Beatty was formerly a resi dent of this community and Is remem bered by many. Up in Warren tbey are doing things to the autoisis who disregard tbe law and regulations by running their machines without adequate lights. Arrests were made Tuesday night in the authorities' effort to enforce the state and borough law requiring autolsta to keep tail ligbta burning when on the street with their oar between one hour before sunset and one hour after sunrise. This brings tbe total number of arrests within the last few days up to six and the police say more will be made If tbe practice is not discon tinued. No one escapes tbe drag net, not even tbe burgess, aa Mayor Eaton was one of those observed without a tail light. Tbe minimum fine for tbe offense is 1 10 and aa tbe victims thus far bave been of tbe first offense class they are allowed to settle for the minimum. The opinion of Judge Hinckley waa austained by tbe Superior Court, sitting In Philadelphia, in an opinion handed down last week In the case of Geo. R. Johnson to use of the Citizens National Bank va.

Tbe case waa argued before Judge Hinckley some months ago, who rendered a verdict in favor of tbe plaintiff, and defendant oarrled it to tbe higher court, whose opinion confirms the verdict as rendered by tbe lower court.

Tliei-e blank petitions may be had by applying to tbe CoinmlsHioneis. Proper instructions will be printed upon tbe petitions. Those in tending to be candidates at the Fall Primaries should make a note of this provision of the law and govern them selves accordingly. A well defined and authenticated re port reached Clarion during llie past week to tbe effect that Ibe Pittsburgh public school authorities bad tendered tbe posi tion of Superintendent of the Pubiic Schools of that city to Dr. J. George Becbt, the present Seoretary of the Stale Board of Education and former Principal of the Clarion State Normal. This honor was tendered Dr. Becht entirely without solicitation and la a Just recognition of bis worth and ability. But it is a Berlons question whether Dr. Becbt can afford to step out of the leading executive educa tional office of tbe state to accept a posi tion, at even almost double tbe salary, in such a reeking and defiling bulbed of corrupt and debasing politics. The piob ability is that, If Je accepted tbe position tendered, be might be destroyed by the conflicting political elements which "neither fear God nor regard man." Should be accept it could only be upon receiving unqualified aud absolute con trol without tbe possibility of interfer ence from any source, civil, political or religious. Clarion Democrat. Fatal Auto Accidents Sunday. Sunday afternoon four prominent Oil City men were injured, one, D. E. Byles, fatally, when their auto was struck by a trolley car on the Franklin and Oil City line, at a point known as Victory cross ing. The party was returning from a religious service at Victory church. Aa tbe car was ooming down a steep bill at a slow gate tbe chauffeur noticed tbe cross ing ahead, but tbe trees and bushes on either side obstructed a view of tbe track and an approaching trolley car.

Tbe Oil City man was apprehended Ly Tituavllle police at bia borne and tbe bond was recovered. Forest County Highways. A writer in the Oil City Derrick knows a good road when be travels over It, judg iug from the following. Tbe stretch re ferred to is pait of tbe State highway which baa been under the personal super vision of Inspector F. M. Hoovler, aud there are numerous olber miles iu Forest county that tbe same good word can said for: ''Strangers who bave occasion to travel the 11 miles of highway between Tionesta and Trnukeyvllle are enthusiasllo over its excellence. A party of Oil City men who made tbo trip from here in an auto mobile and spent SundBy with Harvey and Daniel Fritz at their catnmodious farm bouse, found the road In a condition that tbey describe as 'smovith as a Moor.' There is a brick pavement and macad amized roadway from Tionesta to the Foreit county almshouse and the remain der is 'dirt road,' but free from rough ness or stones fixed or rolling. Much of the highway bas been excavated from solid rock, tbe river on one band and the high, almost perpendicular cliffs rising on the other. Iu many places the out croplng rocks near the summit project overhead. "The excellence of thia stretch of high way appeals more especially to the traveler from Ibis section, who bas to mount aud doscend innumerable bills to reach it and some ol those approaching highways are 'fierce.' The climbs are rewarded by views of surrounding coun try that are said to be onmatcbable in their rugged scenery. At (lie present time there is an added attraction to the vista from the mouutain tops, as most of the farms are Btitl covered wilh grow ing erops, with exception of here aud there a spot wbere the early wheat bas been cut and shocked. ".Surrounding scenery was not the only attraction the visitors from here encoun tered on their long ride. There were more than a dozen times when the car, jogging along at a safe speed aud one that permitted an observation to be made of surrounding objects, that bunches of rabbits were seen playing in tho road ahead and in uot a few Instances the ap proach of the car was watched by the ptrtlally grown rabbits with no other feeling, apparently, than curiosity. At one point in tbe road in Forest county a mother pheasant came out of the brush with a flock of seven of her more than half-grown feathered progeny. All scut tled along ahead of the machine for sev eral yards, a sight unusual enough to 'city folks' to add no Utile to the pleasure ol the trip." A Good School.
