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.
Congressman Hulings has been ad

between tbe ages of 10 end 20 years. This
examination will be held at Oil City in

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.
Among the new laws enacted recent
ly ia one Increasing tbe compensation of
Jury, rouwuTfSMoTers. ' Those elected here
after will receive ft a day herealter, in
stead of 2 50, Tbelr mileage remains
the same four cents a mile each way
from their homes to the county seat. An
other law provides for tbe increase of tbe
pay of election officers from f3 50 to 5 a
day, Tbe compensation of return Judges
remains tbe ssme 1 50 a day and ten
cents a mile for general elections and $'i a
day and six cents a mile for township
and local eleotions. Still another law in
creases the compensation of assessors
from t'2.50 to:)50aday.
Orlo C. 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

Johnson to use of the Citizens National
Bank va. J. F. Proper, surviving and
liquidating partner of Ibe late firm of A.
L. Wellerand J. F. Proper. Tbe case
waa argued before Judge Hinckley some

oarrled it to tbe higher court, whose
opinion confirms the verdict as rendered
by tbe lower court.
In accordance with tbe new primary

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

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,

and an approaching trolley car. Just as
tbe auto emerged trom tbe woods and ran
onto the track it was struck squarely in
the middle and crowded a disianoe of 50
leet along tbe track, tbe occupants being
caught and beld in the auto, which was a

G. W. and L. E. Grove, Rocky Grove,
Pa.; A. P. Miles, Cooperstown; J. L.
Tuckey, Franklin; J, M. Davidson, Kaue
Pa. and L. M. Davidson, Oil City.
Mr, Miles was born in Mercer county,
Pa., in September, 1821. He came to

considerable suueess in the lumber busi
ness and later as an oil operator. He was

famed Fagundus field. He was a first
cousin bf General Nelson A. Miles, His
wife died seven years ago and there are

bery. Three men, one of them a resident
of Oil City, broke into their home aud

''Strangers who bave occasion to travel
the 11 miles of highway between Tionesta

who made tbo trip from here in an auto

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."

as to the difference between a Trunk made in Philadelphia,
Rochester and Buffalo or a Trunk made in the west or
south? All look alike, but there is a great difference in
service. Because of the better materials used, and higher
priced labor, the eastern made Trunks will give almost
double the service of either of the others and vary little if
any in price.
