They are located about $50 miles from
Chicago, at Geneva, we believe, and

more torrid than here Just at this time
we sympathize with 'em.

Saturday he took his fly rod and spent
part Of the day up the river, returning

there being nine in number, and
weighing all the way from 1 to 81
pounds each. Some day Sam. may be
U. S. Senator or President, like Quay

About two weeks ago Mrs. M.
Andrews, Postmistress at Kellettville,
lost pocket book containing money
and papers to the value of about $500
Yesterday she made information be
fore Justice Setley charging James
Carson, mail carrier bel ween Tionesta
and Kellettville, with the theft. Mr..
Carson gave bail in the sum of 5000
for his appearance at court. He stout
ly maintains his innocence, and de.
clares his ability to prove himself so
when placed on trial. Mr.. C. has
heretofore sustained a good reputation
for honesty and integrity.
The weather Of the past week has
been hot. This may not be news to
people hereabout, but it's q fact Just

hotter, and, therefore, dryer, go that
just now you can bet your bottom
dollar there has been no growing
about broken windows by careless
snow ballers, or Of sidewalk coasters.

Yesterday about the noon hour,

hold goods, except bedstead and the
contents of one bedroom, were de.
stroyed. There was no assistance at
hand and everything about the prem.
ises being as dry as tinder, it was i'm.
possible for the family to do anything
to stay the flames. The family were
just seating themselves at the dinner
table when the FIRE was discovered.
The house, which formerly belonged
to the late August Weingard, Was
valued at about 5000. We are unin.
formed as to whether or not there was
any insurance on the building; Mr..
Wilson had none on his goods.
