tioning, but we know the sport is getting
better just the same, for one of our en-
thusiasts was out 'tother day and got
good "strike" but didn't land the 'longe,
and is going TO try him again first day he
gets little spare time.
"A dwelling house owned by Henry
b. Smith, OF Marienyille, was saved from
total destruction by fire only by the per
sistent efforts of the men of the commu-
nifty, on Sunday afternoon of last week.
The house was occupied by Arthur Ma
gee and family, whose household goods
were about all saved. The roof of the
building was practically ruined, but Mr..
Smith carried sufficient insurance 10
cover the loss.
"A Police official of New York, in
commenting on the recent kidnapping of
children for ransom, said: "In our ad-
vance toward refined civilization we have
gone too fast. The death penalty should
be revived in three cases OF crime, any
one of which is as atrocous as murder.
One of these is Grim inal assault upon a
woman or child, one is house breaking
at night, and another il the stealing of
children for the purpose of extorting
money" Quite correct.
Florence, eleven -year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Johnson, of Kel-
lettville, died on Wednesday night of last
week. The child was operated upon for
appendicitis the day previous, and while
the operation was in all respects success
full one, nausea developed during the
night causing violent vomiting, aud The
consequent rupture of a blood vessel, re-
sulting in death within few hours. The
parents have the sympathy of all their
neighbors in this sad loss.

If anybody is laboring under the de-
lusion that the potato crop is failure
this year, let him call on Henry Sibble,
whoss farm is on German Hill, two miles
from Tionesta, and he will quickly be
undeceived. Mrs. Sibble brought six OF
the tubers raised on their farm 20 the
REPUBLICAN Office Saturday, the COM
bined weight of which was 81 pounds, the
largest of which weighed II pounds.
They are of the Hammond variety, and
as fine "eaters" as one would wish to "sit
down TO-"

The County Commissioners accepted
the new Jail last Tuesday, reduction of
81 ,3l925 being made on the cost price of
go. 900 on account of boarding prisoners
at the Tionesta Jail and railroad expenses.
Warren Mail. Last Thursday Sheriff
Brown and the Commissioners of War
rem county came down and took home
their prisoners-seven in all-who have
been boarding with Sheriff Noblt for
some weeks past. They are having their
trials in Warren this week. This leaves
seven boarders at Sheriff Noblit's ho-
tel, who are stopping with him on ac-
count of various charges of misconduct OF
one kind and another, all of whom will
be legally investigated by our court the
last of this month.
The attention OF parents, patrons and
pupils is again called at this, the begin
ming of the school year, to the School
Savings Bank inaugurated last year, by
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, in the hope that the feature may
receive that patronage by the pupils that
it so we'll deserves. Last term there were
46 depositors and the aggregate deposits
amount to SlS.37. Considering that the
system was then new to all, this was a
very good showing, and ought to encour-
age those who took advantage of this ex-
cellent feature of our schools, and prove
an incentive TO others to avail themselves
of this opportunity TO save their pennies
and small change by placing it where il
will bring them some return. The ladies
of the Union hope to have Mrs. S. H.
Oberholtzer, the gifted speaker, here some
time within the next two or three
months to talk on this subject.
