Will Drill Deeper.

Over year ago the Reynoldsville
Oil and Gas Company drilled a gas well
on farm of Levi Schuckers, in Winsow
township, to the depth Of 5000 feet and
not finding gas, stopped the drill. II
has been thought by some members of
the company that the drill was stopped
too soon and it. is the intention OF the
company to put the well down few
hundred feet deeper. The stockholders
held a meeting ut Corwin's photograph
gallery last Friday evening and another
meeting will b. held at the same place
this evening. An expert driller will
meet with the stockholders this even

the contract to drill the well deeper.

Death of An Old Lady.

Mrs. Martha Ross, step-mother of
w. S. Ross, died at the Ross House
at $40 p. m. last Sunday. Dropsy was
cause of death. If Mrs. Ross had lived
until next December she would have
been eighty-nine years old. She was
born in Columbia county, Pa, Decem-
ber 3rd, 1911. Mrs. Ross was conscious
up until few minutes before she closed
her eyes in death. The deceased had
been faithful member of the M. e.
church for many years and was ready to
answer the summons to the heaven of
eternal rest. A short funeral service
was held in the parlor Of the Ross
House at 100 p. m. Monday, conducted
by Rev. j. G. McEntire, and early yes
terday morning the mortal remains Of
Mother Ross were taken TO Greenville,
Clarion county, for burial beside her

Gas Gusher.

The local gas company Of Brockway-
vile has struck Il gas gusher near
Lanes Mills at 5000 feet. A special
from Brockwayville to the Dubois
Courier Monday morning says;
Gas gushed out of the hole with
such force that it threw stones and
loose particles of the formations out in
quantities. Owing to the outward
pressure and the continued squirting Of
small stones and loosened particles it
has been impossible TO use glycerine for
the further development of the supply
which has been punctured by the drill.
The best calculations that It has been
possible to make show that 100000
feet of gas per day is issuing from the
hole"

Who Will Enforce It3

II is claimed that the town council Of
Franklin has an ordinance under course
Of passage which provides that any
person splitting on the walks of the city
or loafing on the street corners, or in
front OF the opera house, postoflice,
churches, or on bridges, shall be guilty
Of misdemeanor. The penalty for
splitting on the walk Is fine Of not less
than 81 nor more than s., or not more
than 30 days in Jail In the case OF loaf
ing the penalty is fine Of not more
than 80 or 30 days in Jail, or both.
We have an ordinance in Reynolds
vile prohibiting loafng on streets
and using obscene or profane language
on the streets, and yet loafng
and profane language are common.

made on the interior Of that building.
The stage has been enlarged, the entire
interior repapered and repainted and
the gas lights have been replaced with
electric lights. Two arc lights and
twenty-eight incandescent lights, in
cluding foot lights, have been put in.
New scenery has been added and the

result OF the expenditure Of this sum

exhibit Of the good work accomplished

term. a great philanthropist, in urging
the necessity for establishing public
school libraries, says: "If had a mil
lion dollars to expend where it would
do the most good, would put IL all into
rural school libraries" More than one
half Of the children Of the nation are
educated in the rural school and come
from rural homes, few OF which have
suitable books for young people. Good
books in the hands Of these children
would greatly increase the efficiency Of
OF the country schools. They would
create taste for good literature and
would be the best fortifcation against
