--"Can you tell me what sort of weather
we may expect next month";" wrote a
subscriber to the editor of a paper, and
the editor replied as follows: at is my
belief that the weather next month will
be very much like your subscription"
The inquirer wondered for an hour what
the editor was driving at. when he hap
pened to think of the word unsettled"
He sent in the required amount next day..
Among the new advertisements in
this weeks REPUBLICAN is William b.
James, one of Oil Citys leading mer-
chants, whose double column ad may be
is one Of the largest and most complete
dry goods emporiums in that city, and
his reputation for strictly honorable deal
| ing is the very best. He is merchant
of the brosd-gauge, up.to-date type, in
fact.
"A charter was recently granted by
the State ID partment at Harrisburg to
! Il. d. Collins, the extensive lumbexman,
for railroad from Mayburg to Sheffield
on Tlonesta creek. The distance will be
about sixteen miles and the road will be
| pushed to completion next summer, un-
der the personal supervision of Mr.. Col
lins. 1t will form a junction at Sheffield
with the p. Il T.. road, and will be fine
outlet for Mr.. C.'s large lumber interests
along the Tionesta creek.
The Citizens Traction Co., of Oil City,
recently chartered, has purchased the
Franklin street railway, and there is ev
cry probability that the road will be ex.
tended to Oil City, where the first named
company has secured franchises emitting
it to The use of the streets. The talk is
also to the effect that the Titusviie and
Pleasantville line will be extended to Oil
City. This would make a very desirable
trolly service for the inhabitants along
the line and would cover much paying
country.
"A murder was committed at Drift
wood, Cameron county, Thurday night,
Robert KaneS aged 81 years, or long
time held grievance against Stephen
Carey, of the same age, and about 8
O'Clock Thursday night Kane walked into
the office ofthe Driftwood hotel, and in
the presence of a<oig crowd, drew re-
volver and shot Carey through the head, ;
killing him instantly. Kane made a
dash for the mountails where he was
captured several hours afterwsrd by
party efmen. he is now in Jail at En-
porium.
-WoodardniAs Titusville third man,
has been cane kin, nit. Some her.
vous people inVhis vicinity got the usual
excitement streak on when they heard
last Wednesday evening that this time
the now noted third burglar had been
caught sure at place near Parrish, on the
Tionesta Valley R'y. Titusville people
were excited as matter of course, and
were eager for news of the great capture,
and one OF the papers there did "scoop"
its neighbors by publishing a double
column fake that had 10 be righted next
day. The facts are that man was taken
for the missing burglar and secured by
j. l.. Rankin and Truman Gillian, who
were convinced before the train left that
he wasn't the man, and he was released.
1t seems altogether probable, don't it,
that the man Woodsrd, who assisted in
T the murder of an officer, would lurk
around the scene of his bloody work for
nearly two monihs? Rats.
In another column will be found the
| advertisement of Wilmer Atkinson Co.,
} publishers of The Bicycle Books. In con-
ciseness of statement, in the thoroughness
with which the ground has been covered,
