In Pittsburg. This cleans up every
thing in that stream, and the lumbermen
are correspondingly happy.
The Lindsey Press has moved over
into Punxsutawney, and is nov issued
as the Punxsutawney Republican, stock
company having purchased the plant.
The paper is very much enlarged and
improved, and will doubtless fill any old
long-felt want that may happen TO be ly-
ing around loose. There is evidence that
the paper is in good hands and that its
success is assured.
-Biggle Swine Book is just as valuable
for man with one hog in little sty as
for man with hundred hogs feeding on
the sheltered side of barbed wire fence.
Its chapter on "Cholera" is alone worth
ten times what the book cost. You ought
to have it, the REPUBLICAN says so.
The price is so cents, free by mail;
address the publishers, Wilmer Atkinson
Co., Philadelphia.
The eclipse of the moon last Saturday
night was success in all respects and
pulled off as per schedule. The sky was
clear and absolutely cloudless, and the
show began about 6 o'clock and lasted
till shortly after 1000. The affair was
witnessed by about everybody in the
city, and the spectators were partly rec
ompensed for the disappointment suf-
fered some weeks ago in the shooting
star fiasco."
An exchange is correct IN saying
that "Every pound of print paper, every
pound OF job stock used in a newspaper
office is costing to-day % per cent more
than it did eight weeks ago, and there is
no prospect of a reduction. Yet news
papers neither ask nor receive one cent
more for their productions in any of its
forms. The price of tho paper to the
reader remains the same, advertising
rates always low, remain low, and cut
throat competition between job offices
makes profit in job work exceedingly
problematical."
The Reynoldsville correspondent of
tue Dubois Courier reports a peculiar
find on the new Reynoldsville and Falls
Creek railroad extension to Hopkins
Mill. On Friday, workmen on the new
railroad bridge that spans the creek at
the mill discovered can OF counterfeit
money, composed of half-dollars and
nickels, amounting to SIS. The date of
the haif-dollars was 1850. Each piece Of
money was carefully wrapped in tissue
paper and the same material used be.
the can was unearthed by blasting, as it
was noticed lying about for several days
before the contents were discovered.
The Farm Journal is unlike any
other paper; for QUE thing it prints no
quack medical advertisements; tor
another it takes five-year subscriptions
and gets the paper to its subscribers the
full time il they are anywhere on this
planet, even if they move two or three
times; if they die their heirs get it. Now
we are going to combine with the Farm
Journal and send the REPUBLICAN one
year and the Farm Journal years,
(all of 1900, 1901, 1902, 1908. and 1904, to
every advance-paying subscriber, new
and old, to the REPUBLICAN,. This great
offer had better be accepted before it is
withd rawn.
The following is "Bill of Fare"

N editor Of the Cory Flyer gives
some bd Holiday-time advice in the
following words: young man if you're
in search of a present for your best girl,
and if you want something up-to-date,
something she will appreciate, buy the
dear girl something useful-nice gloves,
nice handkerchiefs, nice pair of shoes, a
pretty wrap or something to make her
conf rtable. The girl that would not
prize such a gift above cheap jewell
ry or gew-gaws which would cost fully
as much isn't worth spending time on.
