The Lumber FIarkets.

Reports from many branches r. G..
Dun & Co., in important lumber CEN
ters, indicate an active demand for
hardwood lumber. Stocks are gener-
ally light and prices firm. At some
points in the West there is a scarcity of
cars for shipments, and complaint is
made that ocean rates are against ex-
ports. Adverse weather conditions in
some sections of the South compelled
two-thirds of the mills to remain idle.
In Southern pine the output at nearly
all Southern points is very heavy and
mills are busy. Stocks carried over in
Northern markets are not large, and
active preparations for Spring building
indicate a heavy demand at higher
prices. The cut ofspruce logs in Maine
was about the same asin other seasons,
and there will be some increase on the
Penobscot on account of old logs held
back from last years drive. The de-
mand for pulp is heavy, and about
one-half the cut will be used for that
purpose. Low water on the Kennebec
and Androscoggin threatens curtail-
ment of operations there somewhat.
Indications point to higher prices. At
Canadian points the cut for lumber
was considerably reduced owing to
dullness of English markets, but for
pulp the cut was very heavy.

How Bolivar Ladies Knead Bread.

An exchange recently stated that one
of Bolivar's newly married young la
dies kneads bread with her gloves on.
The statement called out these remarks
from another editor: "The incident
may be somewhat peculiar, but there
are others. The editor of this paper
needs bread with his shoes on; he needs
it with his pants on, and unless the de-
linquent readers, ofthis old rag of free
dom pay up before long we will need
bread without darned thing on. Gait

friends in Emporium at the meeting of
the Bucktails. The following account
we clip from Philadelphia Times:

vile, who has been in the city watch
ing at the bedside of Colonel irwin,
seriously ill in sanitarium, died We'd
nesday from typhoid fever in Chest
nut street hotel. Colonel Irvin's re-
covery is doubtful. He returned from
the Philippines year ago, and since
that time has been under medical
treatment.
His wife and sister, Nancy, some time
later came to this city and shared in
nursing the stricken soldier. Miss irwin
was later overcome and is now also Il
patient at the same sanitarium with
her brother. a week ago Mrs. Irwin
became a victim to typhoid, and
gradually grew worse, dying without
seeing her husband since her illness
and without his knowing her condition.
The body was taken to Curwensville.
