Oil Town Streets,

The condition OF Main street from
Presbyterian church to borough line at
Cool Spring Hollow during the past
week has simply been horrible. Some
places the mud was almost foot deep.
II that condition of the Main street OF
a progressive town is not forcible argu
ment In favor of paved streets, words
will surely fail to impress the citizens
of our town that we are badly In need
OF a substantial paving. The streets OF
some Of the oil towns that sprung up al
most as quickly as Jonah's gourd, could
not have been worse than some parts Of
the Main street OF this town. Think OF It!
Shall we be prog ressive when 1t comes
to street paving or will we be a "back
NUMBER"
Two petitions were presented to town
council for paving different parts OF
Main street, but the petitions were not
legally gotten up and now petition Is
being circulated to property holders on
Main street, entire length of the street,
for their agreement to pay two-thirds
OF the expense of paving and the
borough to pay the other one-third.
II the majority OF the property owners
sign this petition it is very likely that
Main street will be paved with brick
this year.

ROBBERS VISIT FOUR HOUSES.
Carried Away Large Amount of Silver
ware from Residence Of Ira s. Smith.


Thursday night of last week, March
9Th, robbers entered the dwelling
houses Of Ira s. Smith, Squire M. M.
Dayis, DR.. DeVere King and Postmaster
E. G. Burns, all of whom reside on
Grant street. At each house the rob
bers gained entrance by unlocking side
doors. At one place there was a key in
lock on inside, but they managed to
turn the key and unlock the door. The
robbers stole large amount of silver
ware from Smiths residence, including
spoons that had been presented TO Mr..
Smiths two children, George and
Helen, on their birthdays by their
grandmother, Mrs. George Melliuger,
deceased, which were highly priced and
could not have been bought at any
price. They also stole Helen's bank
and Georges eyeglasses.
Squire Davis heard the robbers in
his house and thought it was his soni in-
law after something and spoke, which
frightened the robbers away. They
took Squires shoes with them. At
Postmaster Burns residence the rob
bers got silver watch from Ed. Burns,
jr., and several dollars in money from
Frank Burnss pocket, which he
had gathered up by selling tickets
for the Mothers Club entertainment to
be given in Assembly Hall on Friday
evening OF this week. The'robbers were
frightened away from Burns before
they had finished their work there. AT
DR.. DeVere Kings the robbers did not
take any plunder, although they had
ransacked the sideboard and several
drawers on first floor. They must have
been frightened away from DR.. King 8
before they were ready to go.
