Our County Fair.
tawney

The premium list, rules and regula-
tions, speed program, etc, for the COM
ing fair of the Jefferson County Agricul-
tural Association, has been printed in
pamphlet form, and any one desiring a
copy should call on or address the Secre-
tary, Mr.. G. S. Irwin. Two important
changes in the rules and regulations
will not escape the attention of the
public. First, the abrogation of the re-
quirement that each exhibitor purchase
a season ticket, thus making all entries
for exhibition absolutely free. Second,
that no season tickets will be sold, and
uniform charge of 25 cents for admis-
sion be charged adults, and 10 cents for
children: vehicles entering the grounds,
25 cents.
The speed program embraces nine
purses, four for horses owned within
the county, and the other five for quick
steppers, the premiums in each of the
latter being $4,000 and $4,000. The
road and farmers races last year proved
the most interesting events of the week
and it is desired that persons having
horses eligible for these races compete
for the purses offered, the entrance in
each case being free.

Victim of CONSUMPTION.

Clarence Kroh, aged about eighteen
years, son of Henry Kroh, deceased,
died at the Edgewood Deaf and Dumb
school near Pittsburg last week of con-
sumption. His remains were brought
to this place on the noon train Friday
and taken to the Kroh homestead.
Funeral services were held in the EN-
erickville Lutheran church Saturday
forenoon and the mortal remains of the
young man were buried in the Lutheran
cemetery beside the remains of his
father, mother, brothers and sisters
who preceded him to the eternity from
whence no one returns.

Team Runaway.

The West Reynoldsville Cornet band
experienced little excitement on their
way to Emerickville Saturday afternoon
to witness the game OF ball between the
Tannery and Emerickville clubs, some
Of the musicians being members of the

Schewms the wagon tongue dropped
out of the neck yoke and the horses

A Hustling Business.

Millirens, who have the largest and
most complete line of clothing and
gents furnishing goods in this town,
are, without doubt, doing more busi-
ness than any other firm in the county.
They seem to be continually receiving
new goods and always selling them; their
success is due to extremely low prices
and the manner In which they treat
their customers, and always making
things good where the goods seldom
fail TO give satisfaction.

Through Meters Only.

The great question affecting all nat
ural gas companies is the preservation
Of the supply. That it is gradually but
surely being exhausted, no one for a
moment doubts, and IL Is believed that
with modern burners, registering me-
ters and economical use, the life OF this
Incompatible fuel will be greatly pro-
longed.
With this object in view the Oil City
Fuel Supply Co has notified its consum-
ers In Brookville, Reynoldsville, Du-
Bois, Falls Creek and Brockwayville that
on and after November lst, 1896, IL will
furnish gas only through registering
meters, at l5 cents per thousand cubic
feet, subject to discount of 10 per
cent. If paid on or before the 10th OF
the following month in which 1t was
burned. The majority of the consum-
ers In the towns named have for some
time been using meters with the result
that their bills have been astonishingly
low, and there will be no objection
raised to the enforcement Of the rule.
There can be no question about the
equity of selling gas through meters
now advanced in their mechanical con-
struction to state Of excellence which
permits OF no improvement. Under
this system consumers pay for the ac-
tual amount Of gas consumed, no more,
no less, and they are careful not to
waste 1t. They do not turn 1t on full
force and then open the doors and
windows when room gets too warm, as
people paying monthly rate frequently
do, but they turn of the gas, and save
money for themselves and gas for the
company.
Under the old schedule of rates the
moment a stove is connected the charge
commences, even though the stove is
not used for weeks, and continues until
IL is ordered discontinued, so that fire.
quently consumers pay for gas that was
not burned. II the gas is used through
meter, however, every stove in the
house can be connected and ready for
cold spells without any cost except
when actually in use, which Is a decid-
ed advantage over the old system.
Practically all the cities which are
favored with natural gas have been u.s.
ing meters for years with entire salts
faction, even at a much higher rate
than that established here. At Sharon
and Meadville for instance, the rate is
20 cents per thousand cubic feet, and
yet at that price gas compares very
favorably with coal, and is in general
usp

Still Running Steadily.

The report which was current couple
of weeks ago that work at the Shawmut
mines was Stacking up little was un-
founded. All the mines OF the Shaw
NUT company are running as steadily as
ever. What gave rise to the report
was two or three days idleness caused
by lack OF cars and an accident. There
