A fire broke out at l. o'clock Thurs
day morning, at the Moshannon Lum-
Der Company's mill, west Of Osceola

The fire department left Tyrone at 2
o'clock with their steamer and hose
carriage, but could not reach Osceola
on account Of the railroad track being
burned. The railroad between Osceola
and PoWelton on either side is one
blaze Of fire. The members Of the Ty-
rome Fire Company fought their way
through and rendered all the assistance
possible. About 200 houses are stand

Powelton was not destroyed.

Spelling Bees have had their day.
and now comes the annual iniictlon,
strawberry festivals. The only draw
back thus far has been the scarcity Of
this delicious fruit. But this fact has
not deferred energetic ladies' from ar
ranging the preliminaries for these fss-
tive occasions, in which young and old
delight, and from which SO many loose
dimes and quarters are harvested for
philanthrophic and benevolent purposes.
A strawberry festival is something in
which young lady specially delights.
It has attractions for her that are inds-
scribable. She fairly revels in it. and
looks forward to its coming with a feel
ing Of rapture almost equal to that
with which maiden usually anticipates
her wedding day.-Er.
