The manner in which Clark appears
to have shovefed out thousands leads the
Tidioute Ne'0s to remark: "There are
newspaper publishers, or supposededly
such, in Pennsylvania, who will have
nervous prostration when they read of
the money floating around Montana in
the late Senatorial election The evil
dence doesn't name amounts under
thousands, and then think of only $3.50
in Pennsylvania, and half of that held
up" The NeWS must be hintin' at suth-
in or other.
Miss Melvina c. Reeser, of Tidioute,
Pa, died in the General Hospital, Buffa-
10, Feb. % 1900, after having undergone
surgical operation. She was the wife of
the late Rev. Geo. f. Reeser of the Erie
M. Il. conference, we'll known to many
of our older citizens, and was the daugh.
ter of Joseph II. and Maria G. Dawson,
deceased, who were residents many years
ago Of Stewarts Run, this county, where
she was born, Dec. q, 1888. The de-
c,ased was quite prominent in church
and temperance work in her community,
and will be much missed by the good
people among whom she so long resided.
try make pin money out of their chick
ems. We have known of women who
have clothed the entire family with the
proceeds of the poultry yard, and some
have paid off mortgages and others
bought their homes by intelligent man
agement of their flocks. Everybody in
terested IN chickens should get Bicycle
Poultry Book. 1t is so full of helpful
suggestions and short cuts to success, and
has so many years of costly experience
boiled down for its pages that it is po r
economy to be without it. 1t will help
increase the income from the poultry
yard, and has started many an amateur
or misguided professional on the right
track. The price is so cents, free by mail I;

up to a few days ago, Vernon Craw-
ford, the l6-year-old son of Robert Craw-
ford, of Pithole, had the distinction of
wearing two of the largest toes that were
probably ever hitcned 10 humanity.
Their weight, together with the fact that
they made it impossible for him to wear
a shoe, caused him to seek relief, and the
troublesome and mammoth appendages
were amputated by DR., Guy l.. McCutch-
con at the Oil City hospital ten days ago.
The patient was removed to his home
on Wednesday and is getting along nice
ly. One of the toes was six inches long,
three and one-eighth inches wide by
three inches thick. The other was little
less in length, but was three and one
half inches wide by three and one-eighth
inches thick. They are preserved in al
coEo at the Office of the operating sur
geon. The monstrous growth of these
members, the second and third toes, was
caused by Elephantitis, disease rare in
the temp rate zone, and the case is more
remarkable from the fact that the disease
usually attacks the tleshy part of the | gs,
arms or thighs, and seldom confines it,
self to small members, such as the toes
or fingers.
