have expected it. Friday night and Sat-
urday's storm of snow ard sleet was very
severe on shade and fruit trees through
out the land, and although along the riv.
ers and in the valleys the damage was not
so noticeable, out on the hills many trees
were ruined by broken limbs, and in
some instances entirely uprooted. The
clinging sleet, it is thought, will severely
injure the fruit prospects in some locali
ties.
Chairman Q. Jameson to-day issues
his call for the Republican primaries on
Saturday, May 4, in persuance ofa reso-
linton of the County Committee at its
meeting in February. 1t is essential that
all Republicans of the county should at
tend the primaries and cast their votes
for the candidate of their choice, thus
minimizing the cause for any future dis
satisfaction with the make up of the tick
ct. Don't stay away from the primaries.
Election boards will find the party rules
printed in this issue. They are simple
and easily understood, and must be rig
idly enforced.
The United States Supreme Court has
decided number of cases, involving the
validity in one state of divorce DEGREES
granted in other states. The court held,
practically, that in cases in which the de-
cree is granted in states where tho hus-
band and wife have made their legal resi-
dence, il is valid in any other part OF the
United States, but that in other cases, in
which there is no legal residence in the
state in which the decree is granted, they
are invalid. This sort OF decision by so
high tribunal is apt to cause much con-
sternation i'm high life, since many in
1''high social standing have only such
flimsY excuse as a Dakota divorce on
which to rest their claims of separation
from their first love, and have gone and
got married again.
The popular temperance lecturer,
Mrs. l.. Il. Bailey, who begins her work
in this county May lst, under the auspi-
ces of the w. c. T. u, will lecture in
Tionesta Friday and Saturday evenings,

strong endorsements from National and
State official leaders favorable criticism
by other platform workers, and by the
press in many States. "She is clear and

to and will grace the best platforms in
our land as Prohibition or Temperance
speaker" No one should miss the OPP
portunity TO hear this earnest, gifted wo-
man. Her lectures will be delivered in

The Kane Republican says of former
resident Of Marienvill,, this county; NJ.
n. Zeller is upon the street again, for the
first time since his unpleasant and very
dangerous experience of last week. The
press dispatches of last Thursday contain
ed an account of the accidental poisoning
of several people at Caledonia, Pa, by eat
ing wild parsnip grated aud served as
horse radish. Mr.. Zeller was one of the
number. He boarded the train immedi-
ately after eating his dinner and was able
to get as far on his road towards home as
Johnsonburg, where he was overcome by
the effects of the poison. He was taken
from the train and placed in a hotel at
that place; Mrs. Zeller was summoned
and remained with him urtil his removal
to Kane on Saturday. Mr.. Zeller says
that there were fifteen people at the din
ner where wild parsnip was served, most
of whom partook of it, but so far as he
can learn there were no d aths from its
effects.
