The Oil Well Supply Company, OF
Oil City, has begun the building of an
immense plant at Siverly, a suberb OF
Oil City, where will be assembled IFS en-
tire manufacturing interests in that city.
The entire plant will cover an area Of ~
acres, and will have railroad frontage OF
5000 feet. In all, the plant will consist
of 10 large buildings which will be built
of brick and iron. There are now about
100 men and teams at worS.
The school house at the mouth ofthe
Sheriffs, Howe township, destroyed by
fire two weeks ago, is to be rebuilt i'm
mediately on the old foundations, only
on larger plan, as the former building
was much too small to accommodate the
number of pupils, and school will be re-
sulned in few weeks. The old build
ing was fully insured. Miss Morrison,
the teacher, is spending her enforced va
vation at her home in Parthenia, Pa.

Smearbaugh Sunday afternoon. During
Monday, from eight to six o'clock the

Last evenings Cory Leader says
"Constable Wa8hburn of Spring Greek
went to Pittsburg yesterday with war
rants for the arrest of Secret Service OF
ficer w. A. Flynn aud his associates il
the counterleiting arrests made at Sprins
Creek n short time ago. The complain
ant is John Bennett, and the charge il
false arrest and imprisonment" In thi'
connection it may be stated Bennett aitel
being discharged, was left penniless OF
the streets of Pittsburg. He had neve
before been away from his native place
The crowds on the streets frightened hin
nearly to death and he retuned to the jai
for shelter. Kind-hearted governmen
officials collected money enough to sent
the man home.
The Franklin Nel0S tells about {
freak election bet that was made between
Arthur Snyder, Republican, and Charles
Allen, Democrat, two bumpers in tht
Brednsburg oil fields in Cranberry
township, Venaugo county, Pa. Prior t
tho election they made bet, the winne
of the wager to be allowed to cook th,
meals Of tie loser in any shape or man
ner from the date ofelection until inaug
uration, on March 4th. Allen, of course
lost the bet, and Snyder is doing th'
cooking in the shauty occupied by th,
men on tho lease where they are work
inL. After some study Snyder decided
to cook everything Allen had TO eat in
little whisky. If he fries any potatoe
for Allen he finishes thtm off with
spray of liquor. When he makes pan
cakes, they have the whiskey flavor. Al
lens bread all tastes of whisky, his cof
fee is favored with it, aud in fact every
thing he eats is seasoned with the spirit
frumenti. Before election Allen was
hard drinker, but while in town to-da.
he refused to drink. Snyders scheme
he says, is better than the Kelley euro.
