Miss Kittie Hepler, who teaches the
River Hill school, out toward Stewarts
Run, had an exciting experience yester-
day afternoon. When part way down
the hill the horse she was driving became
unmanageable and started at a rather flu
rious rate down the steep hill. Just
above the depot, at the foot of the hill,
the rig came in contact with load of
lumber and the shock was so violent that
the horse was thrown completely over
backward and Miss Hepler was thrown
out, but fortunately doing her no serious
injury. The sleigh was somewhat de-
molished, but otherwise the damage was
slight.
The Lecture Committee announces
that DR.. Robert S. Macarthur will give
the third lecture of the course on We'd
nesday evening, Feb, IA, 1900. The sub
iect is one that will interest everybody
and will be full of information on very
popular subject at the present time:-The
Present Heroic Era in American History.
The Allentown papers say that "The lee
ture was fitting climax to the course.
for it was by far the ablest that has been
delivered during the entire season, DR..
Mac Arthur is not only brilliant orator,
but he is a man of great intellectual at
tainments, wide information, thorough
historian and geographer. Although g
foreie ener by birth, being Scotchman

til after the war of the rebellion, he is an
en- thusiastic American.
Speaking of sheep-killing CANNES,
and the cost they have been to several
surrounding counties, it must be admit
ted that Forest county has but few ofthis
worthless sort. Last year it cost the
county slS3.3O for sheep killed and in
jured by dogs, but from the dog tax col
lected a SUI plus of 1903. IL was turned ovel
to the regular county fund, so that the
dogs of this bailiwick have that much o.
a credit to their account. This amount
more than covers the cost of two teams
purchased for the poor farm it is 500
more than it cost for fuel and light fol
the court house it almost exactly covers
the expense of boarding prisoners for the
year; it lacked but $50 of being sufficient
to pay the county's cost for keeping its
prisoners in the penitentiary. And well
be dog -goned if We don't think that's
doing pretty well for the dogs.
