Cured Sept. 9th, 1895. For two years
past he had been a sufferer from tumor.
He was taken to the South Side Hospital,
Pittsburg, about three months ago,
where the tumor was successfully re-
moved, but being of a malignant charac-
ter another tumor was soon discovered
in his bowels, and developed very rapid
ly, finally causing his death. A post
mortem examination was made by Drs.
Detar and Andrews, and upon removal
they found the tumor to be asarcomatous
growth wighing eight pounds. 1t in
volved all the vicera and sub peritoneal
glands of the bowels, and was firmly at
tached to the posterior of the bowels,
the immediate cause of death being rup-
ture of the mesenteric artery. Mr.. Car
was aged 40 years, months, and rs days.
He was the father of one child, which
died in infancy. He is survived by a
sorrowing wife, who has the heartfelt
sympathy of all our people in this great
bereavement. The remains were con-
veyed to Dempseytown, venango coun-
ty, his former home, where the funeral
took place on Monday.

FrankliR's Centennial.

All who attended the Franklin
Centennial from this section have
nothing but praise to bestOw for the
royal entertainment received while
there. The show was characteristic
Of Franklin in the lead in all that
she undertakes. Had there been a
special train on the river division of
the w. N. Y. q P. road on either of
the two days, the town would have
had not less than 500 more people to
entertain. Upward of a hundred
would have gone from Tionesta alone,
but to break into three days in order
TO spend one iu the city, not 30
miles distant, they could not stand ;
hence our town was not as fully re.
presented as it would like to have
been.
The Derrick says of the Forest
County exhibit at the Centennial
For historical value and powers of at
traction the display of relics made by the
residents of Forest county was not ex~
celled by any feature Of the celebration.

braska is shut down because they
have the creek 80 full of boats as to
leave no room for turning in any
more. A boat food in the river
would let out a large number of
boats and barges that would return
to the community a handsome sum of
cash.

With peaches at u cents a
bushel in Missouri, and the quantity
of the crop beyond computation, with
fruit growers of Southern California
throwing carloads of produce into the
sea to reduce the quantity, with pears
so plentiful in New Jersey that they
are left to rot ungathered, and Union
City merchants unable to purchase at
prices the average workingman can
afford to pay for the fruit, it looks as
though there was something decidedly
wrong with the means of trsnsporta-
tion between producer and consumer,
and that better system of commu.
Dication between demand and supply
ought to be inaugurated.- Union
City Times. The same may be said
of all the towns in this part Of the
country. The exorbitant express
charges simply shut out the dealers,
and they must depend on the freights,
which are too slow for the ripened
fruit, and the losses in that direction
often amount to almost as much as
the outlandish express charges.

Included in its territory is the famous
Chautauqua Assembly, the most noted
institution of its kind in the world, and

one of the old educational institutions OF
the church.
The coming session will be quite inter-
esting and important. Being the one
next preceding the meeting of the Gen
eral Conference of the church, minis
terial and lay delegates to that body
will be chosen, and the proposition sent
dawn from the last General Conference
on the question of admitting females as
