host of old friends who are always glad
to see him. The hard wall plaster turned
out by his firm is having an immense
run in the western section Of the State
and their works are taxed to the limit to
supply the demand.
The Meadville Tribune of Monday
states that ON Friday night the general
storeQf Mr.. Williams at Preside t, was
entered and the safe blown open and that
s., 600 in cash and valuable papers were
stolen. The especially fiend has again
been at work, evidently. The closest in
vestigation has failed to reveal the slight
est cause or foundation for such a story.
Hiram Norton, Of West Hickory, met
with painful misfortune while dressing
tools on well on the Fleming lease,
Copeland farm, Hickory township, last
Thursday. He was working with piece
of red.het steef when the piece flew out of
the tongs, striking Norton in the right
eye, cutting through the lower lid and
injuring the ball so seriously that at last
accounts it was not thought possible to
save the sight. Mr.. Norton was taken,
same day, to the Oil City Hospital, where
he is at present receiving treatment
Sparks show which exhibited to good
crowds here Monday afternoon and eve
ming was all right. The ring perform
ance, tumbling, trapeze and balancing
ieats were extra good; the trained horses,
dogs and goats did their work very nice
ly and the keepers performance with the
two monster lions, slapping and cutting
them about offer feeding them raw meat
was something new to all. The balloon
ascension was decided success, and the
parachute jump was sufficiently thrilling
to satisfy the most fastdious spectator.
All told, Sparks gives the best show for
the money that is travelling to-day.
of Mrs. Jerome Wheelock, of Wor-
cester, Mass, sister of Mrs. G. w. Saw
yer of this place, mention of whose death
was made in these columns last week,
Worcester paper contains the following:

League of Unitarian Women, and until
recently was an active member of the
Church OF the Unity. She was sympa-

was beloved by large circle of friends,
by whom she will be greatly missed"
The notorious and seductive Annie
Haines again languishes in durance vile.
Ami. was the paramour of Fred Rock
ell, who was hanged in Elk county for
numbering her lawful husband. Since
her liberation from Jail, year and half
ago, she has figured more or less i'll the
courts, her last appearance being as the
main witness against JEFF Moore, who is
now serving term for loving Annie not
wisely but too well. Her present dilema
is brought about by an indiscreet in
timacy with brother of Rockwell, the
authorities of Howe township having
made raid on her abode last Wednesday
morning and finding the younger Rock
well with her. Unable to secure bail
both were incarcerated to await trial mex t
September session.
-Ifpeople in general manifested half
as much energy in assisting newspaper
men to secure news as they do in con-
demning them for not publishing more
of it there would be less cause for COM
plant. When death, marriage, or 9TH
er calamity hap 5ens in family the in
terested parties should supply the news
paper with the facts in the case. The
newspaper men cannot know exactly
what is going on in every household in
the city. The right thing TO do unless
there is some objection to publicity, is to
either go to the newspaper office or COM
municate in some manner with some
person connected with the paper. Where
this is done it insures the publication of
much news which otherwise would not
be secured. And it tends in the direc-
tion of greater accuracy, also.-BLizzard d.
About all we could add to this piece OF
good advice would be to request all par
ties to get their items around promptly.
Usually these matters are allowed to
get stale before being reported to the
newspaper.
