Destructive Forest Fires.

There is not township in the county
which has not been obliged battle with
forest fires during the past week, and
much property has been consumed. In
Green township the fire has swept
through the timber slashings of the head
waters of Little Coon and DESTROYED a
number of log piles and skidways, be-
sides partially running considerable
standing timber. Grove Bros, who are
drilling for p. NJ. Shannon in that vicin-
ity, lost a complete rig, with about all the
machinery and equipment connected
with the well. Their loss is total and
amounts to several hundred dollars. The
fire is still raging.
In Kingsley and Hickory townships
Wheeler " Dusenbury have had their en-
tire force of men from both tie Endeavor
and Newtown mills at work almost con-
stantly for the past four days fighting the
fiery elements, and at lost accounts had
their property pretty well protected,
though their loss will be considerable.
Two rigs near Trupkeyville were de-
stroyed by fire Sunday, both being pro-
ducing wells, and we understand consid-
cradle oil was consumed. Owners of oil
property seem to be the most hampered
by the fire in this section.
In jerks township fires have been rag
ing for several days, but up to this writ
ing we are pleased to note no very great
damage or los has been sustained by
its inhabitants or business interests.
Frank Eddy's shinge mill on Salmon
creek was destroyed, with some of the
machinery but the boiler and engine,
having been previously removed, were
saved.

Oil Notes.

Tionesta parties operating on the Jas
Carson place on Hunter Run, opened {
small pu nper Monday. They calculate
they have four or five barrel well.
A company composed mostly of Ito.
nesta people has located well on the
head waters of Sewers run. not far from
the above property, and will be putting
up rig in a few days. These people
drilled well on their lease last fall, but
the showing was light. They look for
better results this time.
Breen & Co. of Oil City who are operat-
ing near the Patrick Donovan place on
Stewarts run, just over the Forest County
line, have very nice showing in their
well just drilled into the sand.
The Standard has well drilled in on
Sugar run between the Donovan farm
and Farmer Deans lease. This oil is
what is known as the amber variety.
Mr.. Darrah OF Oil City brought in
fair pumper on the Sugar Camp run a
shcrt distance southeast of the Donovan
farm on land that joins the Donovan
farm.
The Overlander tract on jug Handle,
Kingsley township, is to have another
test before LONG. Parties have taken an
extensive lease in that territory and will
commence operating in few days.
Forest Proper took a 10 horse power
gas engine up to their lease Monday
which is to do pumping duty on the
Winker farm.

Cantata.

Grand dramatic cantata, "Jephthah
aud His Daughter" will be given in
Jewish costume by home talent in court
house, Tionesta, Friday evening, May IL,
1900. Proceeds for furnishing S. s. room
in Presbyterian church. This cantata
originated from the celebrated battle be-
tween Jephthah, Judge of Israel, and the
Ammonites. Jephthah, an Israeite, had
been banished from his home and taken
refuge in the land of Job, where he be-
came a warrior and mighty man of valor.
His fame had been echoed back to Gilead
and when the Ammonites threatened to
make war against Israel, all of her peo-
pie prayed that Jephthah might return
and take command of the army. The FL
ders went to the land of Job for Jephthah
and offered to make him their ruler if he
would return. He accepted, returned
and took command. Before going to bat
tic he made a rash vow, that if the Lord
would deliver the Ammonites into his
hands, he would on his return from war,
in peace sacrifice unto the Lord the first
thing that would meet him at the door of
his house. When he returned he met his
only daughter, Ipnedeiah, whom he sac
rificed according to his vow. About As
characters are represented in costume.
No pains have been spared to make this
grand cantata a success.

Recent Deaths.
MRS. CYNTHIA DALE BALL.

MRS. CYNTHIA DALE BALL.
Miss Sarah A. Dale of this place, re.
ceived the sad intelligence last week OF
the death of sister, Mrs. c. NJ. Ball, the
following account OF which we take from
the Fredonia IN. " Censor of the 18th
inst. Mrs. Ball is well and favorably
known to many Of our older citizens:
Mrs Cynthia Dale Ball died at her home,
25S East Main street, Tuesday aitel noon,
April 10th, 1900. She had been in good
health till she received injuries from a fall
last January which undoubtedly hast
ened her death. The deceased was born
in Tionesta, Pa, December 3lst, 1898, and
was married TO Nj. Clinton NJ. Ball
about fifty nine years ago. The last thirty
years of her life have been spent in this
| village where she has resided as quiet
citizen. She aimed rather to make her
self the center of her home than to make
| herself prominent in social affairs.
Eight years ago her son, William Ball, =,
died in Olean and seven years ago her
husband died at the old homestead in
Fredonia. Mrs. Ball is survived by
three sisters, Mrs. Marjorie Walters,
Beldenville, Wis, Mrs. Emily German,
East Hickory, Pa, Miss Sarah A. Dale,
Tionesta, Pa. and by one brother, Mar
vim Dale, OF st. Paul, MINI.
Six children also survive her: Mrs.
Edward Howard OF Buffalo; Mrs. Fred
Harris of Westfield; Mrs. Albert Bartlett
Of Sistertsville, West Virginia; Mrs.
John b. Alden of Jamestown; Jasper G.
Ball of Dunkirk, and Frank p. Ball of
this village.

to tender their most sincere thanks to the
friends in the vicinity of Whig Hill and
Kellettville for Their kind assistance and
beneficial donations during the time of
their grief and sorrow over the death of
their second son, John Wesley, who died
April l3 after short illness of pneumo-
mia. "He hath chosen a better country"
was the appropriate text preached by
Rev. II. Luper Foulke of West Hickory
and assisted by Rev. Dove of Whig Hill.
He that we loved has been taken away;
A form that we watched for we will
never more see:
But Jesus had need o him; blest be the
day
To " hich we look forward when with
him we'll be.
Asleep in the Savior, asleep on his breast |;
Our loved one, we miss Thee, but we'll
not mourn:
Thou hast earned thy blest portion, thy
long needed rest
Death crowned the with blessings life
was but thorn.

Deafness Cnnnot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflalned con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored 10 its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
tion Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send Tor circulars, free.
