A. Keller, had his face quite badly
scorched by the explosion of a shotgun

the entire hand can be saved.
Again it may not be out of order to
leading from the river bridge t. the
Fisher lot, on the most travelled street in
TiOnesta, is the worst walk In town, and
the most dangerous and disgraceful that
the town has ever permitted to thus re-
main. Ifthere should be an accident at
that point who would be responsible?
Commissioners Ware, OF the Bureau
of pensions, has notified the G.. A.. r. Posts
throughout Pennsylvania to be on the
lookout for a smooth swindler who is
working a clever scheme, seeking pen

There's promise of a lively time on
the Tionesta ball field next Friday, when
the Ladies' Base Ball club of st. Louis

This aggregation is said to be a very
strong one, and has defeated most all the
amateur clubs against whom they nave

fine game, possibly the best that has been
pulled off here this season. Don't fail to
see it all.

One of the bUgbears of old time peo-
pie is night air and there is little exag-
g%eration in saying the superstition against
night air has killed more people than the
free circulation of it has ever injured.
There is abundance of proof that night

largely gained in popularity of late years,
under wider knowledge of hygiene, for
people in delicate health to go out in
camping parties and breathe the balsam
OF the night air.
Many counties in the State are dis
cussing the good roads law and preparing
to take advantage of it, but few have as
yet complied with the conditions, which
