early this month. Major g. W. Powell
says that this work will cost $4,000.
He said that nearly quarter ofa million
dollars will be used to better the condi-
ton of the river during the year.-Deeick.
Attention is directed TO the double
column ad. of Geo. Rabb in this issue,
who proposes to sell his building and lot,
corner of Elm and Bridge streets, this
borough. Here is an opportunity for
some one to get very desirable business
property at nominal figure, as Mr..
Raab declares the property shall go to
the highest bidder. Remember the date.
"A company composed of S. j. and
Will Wolcott, Kory Heath and Geo. Kill
mer, has become the owner of what
promises good paying lease at Faunce-
town, near Sugar Lake, Crawford coun-
ty. They have one we'll which flows
naturally about four barrels day, and
are putting down another as fast as they
can get it there.
The premium list of the Clarion
County Fair is at hand. 1t is a pamph-
let of 100 pages gotten out at he Clarion
Republican Office, and is a job of which
that or any other printery can be proud
of. If the fair itself is proporuonately
meritorious in all its features, the people
who patronize it will be abundantly re-
paid for their trouble and expense.
The machinery is being placed in the
Lanson Bros. Touring mill as fast as pos
sible, and there will scarcely be any
question about their having everything
in condition for turning out flour at the
time fixed upon, Sept. lst. Meanwhile
they can supply every demand for the
finest grades of flour and feed from their
large stock on hand. Call when in need.
The experiment of rural free deliv-
cry of the mails is being tried in Wash
ington county, Pa. Eleven carriers, each
of whom is expected to travel 81 miles
per day, are traversing the county deliv-
ering and collecting the mail, and il the
experiment is success it will spread
over the country and reduce the number
of postoflices to oue-seventh the present
number.
The Blizzdrd evidently thinks il no
Maine" but the "Great Oil City Fair"
which is to be Sept. IL, l3, II, and l5. It's
to be as much more of hummer than
the last years event as can be imag-
inod, and tha is enough said. Up to this
writing there are no flies on the Oil City
Fair, and if the coming event is as lively
as the former one IL will take a very
frisk fly to light on it. Everybody 60.
"A private letter from an old friend,
Willis Brace, who moved with his family,
from this place about five years ago to
Port VIM, Wisconsin, reports all the
family well, and we may presume in
prosperous condition. Mr.. Brace says
Mckinley times struck them several
months ago, and they have enough to do
to keep them out of mischief. He wishes
to be remembered to all friends, of which
we know he has very many in this section.
Judge Biggle not only knows great
deal about horses, but what is more i'm
portant he knows how to impart his in
formation in the way that will be under
stood. One does not have to wade
through great mass of undigested, un-
important matter. The Bicycle Books are
models of clearness and conciseness.
They are advertised in another column.
The price is 80 cents, free by mail; ad-

The Philadelphia Times believes,
with a good many other people, that
fitting memorial should be provided to
the honor of the late Col. Hawkins of the
gallant tenth regiment, just returned
from tile Philippines, and has taken the
initiative in raising a fund by popular
subscription for that purpose. The move
ment will be greatly encouraged no
doubt by abundant contributions. No
amount should be considered too small
to forw ard. All will b. properly credit

Alden Deets, of Canal, who had his
right hand blown off by the explosion of
a stick of dynamite, while in boat near
Carlton, early on Sunday morning, July
%, will not lose his sight, as was feared
for time. Charles Stevens, who was
with him in the boat at the time, will be
prosecuted for fishing by means of dyna-
mite, for which there is heavy penalty.
