"BIack Forest" Almost Gone.

In the following letter to the Gazette
and Bulletin, dated Gleasonton, August
15, B. S. Dunn, the log scaler, contrasts
the "Black Forest" country of now and
forty years ago:
81 came here forty years ago this
winter to scale logs for Ellsworth Up
degraff and others. / went over the
old Jersey pike to the place called Ole
ona, for then the Pennsylvania only
ran to Lock Haven.
At that time the wood was so thick
that in the day it was as dark as night,
hence it was called the "Black Forest"
The pine trees covered the ground
almost without number, but now you
can't see one, and even the hemlock is
getting scarce. If lumbermen had then
known the advantages of modern facil-
tiles much more money could have been
made on the pine wood.
am now in the employ of Howard
& Perley. They haul their logs 21 miles
on cars, making two trips and carrying
10000 feet day. This lumber is taken
to the mills, cut and delivered to Phila-
delphia in four days, which is very
stort time. 1t can be furnished in any
size you wish"

Regular Coon Evening.

Last Tuesday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
w. II. Howard entertained a large
number of their friends at their spa
cious residence on Sixth street, in
honor of their visiting guests from
Philadelphia. The evenings program
was out of the usual order, the dancing
being of the cake order style and elic-
tied great applause. The costumes
worn by most of the guests were of the
style usually seen at a first-class cake
walk. Two prizes were awarded by
the judges, but the extreme modesty of
the fair ones forbids our mentioning
their names.
1t certainly was novel entertain
ment and greatly enjoyed. About
midnight refreshments consisting of
chicken, sweet potatoes, corn cake,
watermelon, etc.-a regular cake-walk
bill of fare-was served in elegant style.
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard certainly made
a pleasing hit.

For the Farmers to Decide.

By the best figures obtainable it APP
pears that the farmers of the country
paid over $500, 100000 of the shrinkage
in the value of their live stock alone as
a part of the price Of the election to the
presidency of Grover Cleveland on
Free-Trade platform in 1892 Most of
this loss they have made good since
Free-Trade received the knockout blow
in 1896 and protection returned to its
own again. If the farmers have more
money and more prosperity now than
they want and would like to get rid of
some of it, the surest way in the world
is to vove for Bryan and Free-Trade
this fall. 1t wouldn't take long under
Bryarand Free Trade for live stock to
become Of as little value as it was in the
days of Cleveland. But if, on the other
hand, the farmers of the country want
to keep what they have and to add to it,
they need to stand by the policy which
gives the American market to the
American people, and which, by bring
ing work and money and prosperity to
the industrial workers OF the country,
creates strong home demand for the
products of the farm. m.-American Econ
omist.

Keep Your Eyes "Skinned."

Probably few people who live in rent
ed houses, says the Harrisburg Tele-
graph, know that their chattles can be
seized and sold for taxes due upon the
property they occupy. The tenant has
an opportunity, however, to square
himself with his delinquent landlord.
Under an act of Assembly the tenant
can deduct the taxes paid by him from
the rent due, and the production of his
tax receipt is valid discharge of the
rent to that amount. In this manner
the tenant can protect his personal
property from levy and sale to pay
taxes which his landlord has failed to
settle.

Letter From Stephen Wylie.
MR.. J. d. LOGAN,
Emporium, Pa.


Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir:-Your welcome letter was
received with pleasure. My
health was never better than since /
saw you last. Never missed meal,
except once when out in the timber and
missed four meals. Chapman and fam
lily all we'll. Times are good here and
men are scarce. Many have gone to
Nome and are anxious to get back.
There are many men here waiting to
buy timber. They have purchased
from Northern Pacific r. r., for $6,-
100000, 10000 acres. On this river
Nasal, the timber is estimated at fifteen
hundred million feet of pine andspruce,
some cedar. Lots of hemlock, but is
worth nothing now. Can buy from
pre-. empted holders for so cents to S1.00
per thousand. No government land in
this county worth taking. The crops
are good. Some of the farmers who
pasture their meadows until May are
now cutting two and three tons to the
acre. No wheat is raised here worth
mentioning. Potatoes wilMe poor this
fall-tops dead from blight. We have
pest here something like the cut worm.
1t is playing hob with the cabbage, tur-
nips and all vegetables. 1t can climb
tree like caterpillar, but it has no
hair on it. Fruit is scarce. Dressed
beef is worth seven cents, pork six,
flour $500 to $40O per bbl, potatoes
$1,000 per ton, hay $500 to $1,000.
Wages in logging camps S26 to S65
month. The logging is mostly done
with dinkey engines. Fishermen on
the Columbia river are doing we'll this
summer. They get from six to eight
cents per pound and catch from 100
pounds to a ton each night. / am
ranching here little. Have forty head
of cattle, two horses and one mule.
Cut this summer forty tons of hay. /
will have an Elk hunt this fall. Wish
you were here to go along. We have
had but little rain this summer. Give
my regards to all friends.

Test for Drinking Water.

There is simple test for the presence
Of sewerage in the water. Alldrinking
water should be tested in town or coun-
try frequently, as there are other inn
purities besides sewerage which are
quite as deadly, and every cistern of
water is liable to be a source of blood
poisoning, says Farm, Field and Fire
side. Mice, rats and other pests must
have water, and many case of typhoid
fever is set up by these falling into the
cistern and remaining there for months
in decomposed state. To detect this
impure condition is very simple and
unfailing. Draw a tumbler of water
from the tap at night, put piece of
white sugar into it, and place it on the
kitchen mantle shelf or anywhere that
the temperature will not be under sixty
degrees Fahrenheit. In the morning
the water, if pure, will be perfectly
clear; if not contaminated by sewerage
or other impurities, the water will be
milky. This is a simple and safe test
we'll known in chemistry.

with some of the boys and managed to
upset his boat in deep water. He could
not swim, but he held to the boat and
shouted to his companions on the bank
for assistance. Seeing that he was in.
no particular danger, the boys told him
they wouldn't help him until he gave
three cheers for Mckinley. ''Hurrah
for Mckinley" said Jim in weak and
perishing voice. "Louderp' declared
the crowd. And then Jim beloved,

Old Soldiers Object.

The Philadelphia Press says: "As
might be expected, some of the old
soldiers in this state who have been
in their habits are kicking
against recent ruling of the pension
at Washington, by which
certain pensioners are dropped from
the rolls when their pension money is
found to do them more harm than
good. In other words those who spend
their allowances unduly for rum and
neglect and ill-treat their families are
to be denied their pensions while they
the money.

The Blind Dor.

The East ward blind dog may be
seen every evening walking in the BIZ
cycle path as far as the Warner House.
After getting something to eat and
circulating around the water trough
several times before he can get drink,
the poor blind animal feels and smells
around until he finds the bicycle path,
when he gently makes his way back to
his home near the st. Charles Hotel.
Watch him any evening, after dark.

Sibley Denies Conspiracy.

BRADFORD, August 21.-Joseph G.
Sibley, of Franklin, Republican can
didate for Congress from this dis
trict against Lewis Emery, Jr.,
Democrat, was in Bradford to-day
He came from Lake Champlain and left
this afternoon for his home in Franklin.
Mr.. Sibley came in on an early morn
ing train, accomp panied by his private
secretary, Mr.. Gray, and was met at
the depot by former State Senator Ban
non and Postmaster North.
The Franklin man attended the Re.
publican convention and made a
speech of half an hours duration.
Mr.. Sibley was asked about the Stur-
tevant interview and he denied the
published story that he conspired with
Quay to be Governor in two years and
Senator in four. He denied that he
had ever been in communication with
Mr.. Quay during his canvass two years
ago. The reason he became Repub-
lican and endorsed Mckinley was be-
cause of the prosperity of the country
Ex-senator Emery, his opponent,
called upon Mr.. Sibley this morning.
1t was the first time these gentlemen
ever met. Mr.. Sibley expressed his
appreciation of this courtesy and said
Mr. Emery informed him that the re-
ports that he intended to use an enor-
nous sum of money in the campaign
were false. He in turn assured Mr..
Emery that he did not intend to make
Doodle campaign, and he declared to
the committee that any one who ac-
cepted or offered money to influence
people TO vote for him was no friend of
his.
