her uncle, Mr.. E. X. Range, Of Mill
Village, who is making his annual

Yesterday forenoon Court Crier
James A. Scott. of jerks township re.
ceived a telegram conveying the sad and
startling news of the death Of his wife
at their home near Marienville, which
occurred on Tuesday morning. She
had been sick for some time previous
but no such sudden or serious sesult
had been anticipated. Mr.. Scott left
for home at once and Daniel Black
was sworn in as court crier for the
balance of the week.
"A game of ball was played be.
tween the Juniors of Oil City and the
Juniors of Tionesta, on the lstters
grounds last wednesday afternoon, re.
sulting in a score of 8 to 6 in favor of
Oil City. The playing was poor on
both sides, aud the wonder is that the
score was not larger. And such kick.
ing, from start to finish, has scarcely
ever been heard on the grounds before,
but there wasn't any blood spilled, and
so it don't matter much. The two
teams are pretty evenly matched, and
another game would as likely as not
result the other way.
Every line in the newspaper costs
something. If it is for the benefit of
an individual it should be paid for.
If a grocer was asked to donate gro-
ceries to one abundautly able to pay
for them he would refuse. The pro.
prietor of a newspaper must pay for
the free advertising if the beneficiary
does not, and yet it is one of the hard.
est things to be learned by many that
newspaper has space in its columns to
rent, and must rent to live. To give
away or rent for anything less thI !
living rates would be as certainly fat !
as for landlord to furnish house re- It

Responsible parties are talking
very decidedly of putting in a system
of water works for Tionesta. In fact
the stock for such an enterprise is all
spoken for and the funds pledged by
those who can put up the stuff, The
plan is to run the water in by gravity
from Tubbs Run, and more feasible
way could scarcely be wished for
There is an abundance of the puresi
water to draw from with not more
than three miles Of pipeage necessary

Hon. George F. Kribbs was re.
nominated for Congress at Ridgway
by the Democratic conference on
Wednesday last. The conference al
one time bid fair to end in a good
sized row, and as it was, adjourned
with very bitter feeling on the part
of most of its members. Two years
ago, if "all men are not liars" the
nomination was promised to Forest
county, and under the system Of nom
mating at that time this agreement
would most likely have been carried
out. But Clearfeld and Centre came
up with a squad of % delegates aud
insisted on their representation on the
Orvis plan--one delegate for every
500 Democratic votes-which the
other three counties kicked on. But
