Bob's brothers are staunch Republicans

say.
Those second hand machines are dis
posed OF but Scowden & Clark have a
good variety of new mowers, rakes,
plows, harrows, ETC., which are going at
almost second hand prices. Besides they
will order anything in the farm machin-
cry line not cerried in stock, and all at
a very narrow margin of profit. Always
consult them before you buy. 1t will
pay. If
The COW kicked the bucket over and
spilled the milk, and if you don't get the
Farm Journal for the balance of 1899 and
all of 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1905, nearly
five years, just for paying up what you
owe us for THE FOREST REPUBLICAN
and year ahead, you will be like that
cow. The Farm Journal is the biggest
paper its size in the United States OF
America.
The coroner's jury in the case of the
death of Mrs. Charles A. Goff in Oil City
last Thursday night has rendered YER
dict holding the husband responsible for
her death. The woman died rather mys-
teriously shortly after quarrel had with
her husband, and an autopsy revealed
the fact to the mind Of the physician DR..
j. f. Davis that death was the result of
strangulation inflicted, ii is supposed by
the husband.
The postoflice department is contem-
plating a new form of postal money or
der. Ifintroduced il will be made to
conform TO the size Of an ordinary bank
check, and the marginal figures hereto
fore printed on the'money order will be
no longer used. A receipt will also be
given the remitter at the time of the pur-
chase of the order. The new form will
be much more convenient for handling
by the people and the banks, land it is ex-
pected to be brought into use about Sep
tember 10. 1899.
Hon. w. C. Arnold, of Dubois, was
guest at the New Hyde on Tuesday
night, and made pleasant call at the
AdUocdte Office. He was on his way home
from Erie, where he had been as attorney
in the us. court. Mr.. Arnold is enjoying
the best of health, and was as happy as a
bird. He Is as busy as harvester prac-
ticing law and is making some nice fees.
We are glad to learn of his prosperity, for
he is man of very fine ability as a law

undertakes. -Ridg,0ay Advocate.
Every well regulated town must
sooner or later have its kissing bug story

man of this office reported for duty in a
most pitiable condition. His under lip
protruded in such a manner as to resem-
BILE closely snow plow on tie trolly
company's dinkey in mid-winter. When
questioned as TO what had happened he
claimed not to know, but there is no
reason to doubt from all the symptoms
that it was the work of the latest thing in

The Marienville Express of last
Thursday says: The ED. Steiner house
was burned early this morning. f. NJ.
Reck had been living in the house, but
moved out yesterday. The fire was dis
covered about three o'clock by Night
Watchman Kifer, who was first attracted
to the place bv the noise of an explosion,
but before the alarm could be given and
help secured the fire had gained such
headway that the building could not be
saved. 1t is understood the owner has
some insurance on the building, but how
much we have not learned.
The large boulder past which the river
road ran before the relocation of that road
was made, three years ago, about three
miles from the borough, will furnish the
material for the erection of the new bank
building, the first opening into the rock
being made last Saturday. There will be
nearly five hundred perches in the build
ing, and yet there will be enough stone
in this one rock for two such buildings,
with sufficient left over to build several
big cellar walls. That's the kind of stone
we raise in this country, and hey are of
fine quality for building purposes, too.
Prof ]. l.. Allison, recently appoint
ed Supervisor of the census for the four

plimentary notices from the press of the
surrounding counties. He will have the
selection of the enumerators of the dis
trict, who will begin their work June lst,
1900, and will be supposed to h We it
completed by July lst. The pay of the
enumerators will average about $50, and
will not be as large as in 1890 for the rea-
son that much of the statistical work will
be done by special men sent out by the
department. .-PuRry. Spirit.
-Biggle Horse Book, advertised in an
other column, contains more "horse
sense" than many volumes ten times its
size. 1t tells all about breeds, about feed
ing and watering, about stable and road
management, of whims and vices, of har-
ness, of diseases and remedies, of breed
ing, of colt education, of shoeing and in
deed it covers the whole subject in a
