After the meeting of the Odd Fellows
lodge Tuesday evening of last week the
members met their ladies at Hotel Wea-
yer where they enjoyed one of those sum
ptuous suppers for which Landlord Wea-
yer aud Chef Bristow are famous.
The recent trial of Murphy and
Mong, arrested on the charge of being
implicated in the murder of VIM. Kiser.
in which the defendants were acquitted,
was rather expensive to Clarion county.
So far 1t has paid out s., 400, and the end
is not yet.
BY an oversight the REPUBLIC, N
failed to note a pleasant event which
took place in Tionesta ON the 2ith ult.,
the marriage, at the BRIDES home, of Miss
Lillian Bradbury to Mr.. Eugene Sutton
of Nebraska. Rev. Robert McGarvey
performed the ceremony.
g. w. Robinson lost his fine black
saddle horse by death last Saturday. The
animal was being driven in the delivery
team and dropped over in the street just
above the REPUBLICAN Office. The horse
was evidently affected with heart or
brain troubles. 1t was fine animal
and priced very highly by its owner.
Michael Kightlnger was hit on the
chin bya binder pole while putting a
load of hay on wagon, up near the
county home last Thursday. The strok
was terrific ne, causing him to bite
his tongue nearly in two, cutting the
lower lip badly and otherwise bruising
his face severely. DR.. Bovard dressed
the wound but found no bones broken.
We have received from the Groom
Music Company, Steinway Hall, Chi
cago, several professional copies of their
late music. This company is putting out
some good pieces, both vocal and instru-
men al, and will gladly examine authors
manuscripts with view of publication.
1t sets song words and poems to music
on basis that pays a good profit to an
author.
Don't ask the editor to rebuke every
evil in the town and community, but
when convinced that such duties need at
tending to. write an article to the paper
yourself and sign your name to it for
publication. The man who is too big
coward to thus express his opinion is the
very one who will stand on the corner
and talk loudly about the cowardice of
the editor.
II milk does not disagree with one a
quart or more day will help imme-
diately in the work Of getting fat. 1t
should be slipped rather slowly, as it
turns into curds the moment it reaches
the stomach and when quantity is
swallowed at once the large mass formed
is not quickly digested. A teaspoonful
of limewater in glass of milk neutral
izes its bilious properties.
ii-Among the offerings contributed to
the Christmas barrels, which were packed
Yesterday by the ladies of the Presbyter-
ian church for the Dakota Sioux Indians
of the Good win mission in South Dako-
ia, was a comforter made by the members
of the Junior Christian Endeavor Society.
In the comforter were wrapped pretty
name cards containing the names, ages
and verses of scripture written by the
Juniors.
Sunday while George Matha Jr., was
putting the bride on his horse and while
he had his right hand on top of the horses
head the animal suddenly threw his head
IN catching Georges hand between it
and a beam overhead. 1t was very
painful hurt and George came down TO see
Doctor Greaves about it, who found the
bones badly fractured, from which in
iuries the patient will likely suffer for
some time.
Hon. w. c. Arnold, who so ably
represented the 2stn district in Congr, SIS
when Forest county was part Of it, is
very cordially spoken of as a possible
candidate in the 2lst district, composed
of Mexican, Cameron. Centre and Clear
field counties. That district would be
heard from in national affairs If it should
send Mr. Arnold TO Congress, and we
hope the Republicans will see the wis
dom of nominating him.
John Thomas, son of Squire VIM.
Thomas of the township, received a
severe injury to his face while at work
for Ocgood d Jameson near Dawson
station last Thursday. lie was in the act
Of rolling a log over a bent sapling and
when the log left the sapling it sprang
back and struck him a terrific blow
across the nose, smashing the bones Of
that member badly, and rendering John
insensible for a time. DR.. Greaves at
tended the injury and believes the nose
will not be permanently injured and lit
tie if any disfiguered.
