With the price OF oil climbing higher
and higher the face Of the producer be-
comes pleasanter and pleasanter, while
the greatest activity in the oil region / S
noticeable on all sides. There is be-
lief that the market will reach the 81
mark before it stops, but even at the
present price there's nice money in the
business to the man with little produc-
tion.

floundering about: An action to recov-
er $4,000 damages has been instituted
against Clear6eld township, Butler coun-

plaintiff was driving along one of the
township roads last February, when the

Curtis Bean met with an accident
early Monday morning last which de-
prived him of part of the two middle
fingers of his right hand. He was feed
ing the "hog' at the Wheeler & Dusen-
bury mill, at Endeayor, when his hand
was caught in the machinery and so bad
ly injured that the fingers had to be am
putated just below the middle joint. The
"hog" is sort of grinder that chews up
edgings, etc., so as to make them fit for
fuel in the mill. He came here shortly
after the accident and Dr. Bowman made
the necessary surgical repairs.
An epidemic of typhoid fever has
broken out at Balltown, Howe township,
and it is said nc less than ten cases, in
a more or less serious stage, are under
the doctors care. The cause has not
yet been located, and the neghborhood is
considerably excited as a natural conse-
quence. Clarington, which was threat
ened with another outbreak of this much
dreaded disease, is comparatively free
from it now, and the citizens believe
the worst is over. Mrs. Calvin Work,
living at the mouth of Maple Creek, is
seriously i'll with the fever, hers being
the only case now in the vicinity of Clar-
ington.
Charlie, the little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. S. Kirchartz, who are residing at
Reynoldsville, Jefferson comfy, met
with severe accident on the I'd inst.
While playing with a boy aged about II
years they found torpedo such as are
used on railroad tracks. The older boy
told Charlie to hit it with a hatchet, which
he promptly did. 1t seems the explo-
sive was filled with glass, and when it
event OFF, the little fellows entire body,
so to speak, was filled with the glass par
ticles, the most serious effects being in
the face. 1t is said the boy had fully
three hundred distinct cuts or wounds on
him. A cash two and half inches in
depth was cnt in his left side above the
heart. Three physicians worked with
the injured lad several hours before they
felt safe in pronouncing him out of dam
ger, but it is thought he will recover with
out leaving any serious effects. His
escape from death seems like miracle.
-Danlei G. Huddleson, of Jeanette,
Pa, enlisted as private in Co. 1, Tenth
regiment, and with that now famous Or
ganization went through the Philippine
campaign, "Dannie' is we'll remember
ed by many of our people, having lived
here when mere child, and is the son
of the late James Huddleson, veteran
of the civil war. He recently returned
with his regiment and for few days past
has been visiting his friends and relatives
in this section. He is in good health and
splendid spirits, and views his expert
ence as a soldier in cheerful mood,
complained none of the suffering which
has been so much talked abont in that
far-off country. He says they had plenty
to eat except when the commissionary
wagons were unable to keep up with tie
march, when they lived we'll on the for
age of that fertile country. Dannie is
now "a years ofage, and would not take
a fortune for his experience as soldier
in the Philippines. He brought with him
many relics and mementoes of his trav-
els.
