pound is not proprietary right nor
trade secret, being also unprotected by
a patent, and has been in use more than
two years, so in fact there is nothing
to prevent DR.. Kelley testifying. john

AGAIN THE FOREST FIRES.
Most Destructive Known in the Vicinity
of Bradford for Many Years.

Most Destructive Known in the Vicinity
of Bradford for Many Years.
Bradford, Pa, May 1.-THE most
destructive forest fires known in this
section for years have been raging for
the past week. About o'clock this
morning a fire started between Glen
Hazel and Keltner Delivers saw
mill, located between these points, was
soon destroyed together with 10, 900, 900
feet of lumber, an engine-hOuse, rail-
road switches, sixteen cars of lumber
and coal, eight dwellings, an Oil we'll
and several thousand acres of timber
land. A special train containing a
steamer and a large force of firemen
was sent from here. The firemen were
unable to do anything but divert the
course of the flames. Everything is
dry and the leaves and underbrush fur
nish abundant fuel for the blaze. The
flames are going up the hillside at a
rapid rate, and destroying everything
in their path. The sky is black with a
sitting smoke, and the flames shoot up
as high as the tops of the trees. Sew
eral people were injured in escaping
from the flames. This afternoon an
appeal was received from Glen Hazel
asking for more help, and thirty five
firemen with hose were sent by special
train. It was feared the fire was about
to cross the east branch of the Clarion
river and sweep out the town OF Glen
Hazel. The woods along the Erie rail
road, between Keltner and Bradtod,
are on fire and it is feared the loss to
oil and lumber property will be great.
Fires are raging between Rixford
and Farmers Valley on valuable tim
berlands, and large quantities OF tim
her have been destroyed. The Column
bia Oil Company's property is now
threatened. Between Crawford juno
tion and Riterville fierce fire is rag
ing on both sides of the Erie tracks: A
fire has been in progress at the Chip
munk since Thursday.

that it did not permit ease of posture.

not in the way, and still allow the oc-

Therefore. everyone buying chairs
should try them all carefully, not pur-
chasing merely for pretty shape or
appearance, and should invariably
have several of these very low seats
among them. 1t will be seen that they
are the ones always selected first by
