In his report he stated tnat the best

be all right as far as they go, but they
should be connected by balconies and

lie said that at the oxford street school
the outside doors swung both ways and
there are radiators IN front OF windows

would be very expensive to change. These

cleared and cultivated the farm on which
ha resided at the time of his death.
When yet boy he was confirmed as a
member of the Lutheran church, in the
faith of which he continued all his life,
living a CONSTANT, devOut Christian. He
bad experienced no premonitiOns Of ill
ness, much less of death. At about three
o'clock in the morning he quietly "iell
asleep" Mr.. Dickrager was one of the
truly good citizens OF our county, being
highly respected by his neighbors, who
looked upon him as 'ono of the noblest

license Court.

The Court sat yesterday for the coDsid-
Grafton of license applications. Presi-
dent judge Lindsey and Associates Craw-
ford and Dotterer occupied the Bench.
Seven applications were presented, but
two of which being opposed by remon-
strances, these being against the granting
of the application for the Diagonal
House at Byiomtown, jerks twp, and
the Central House at Clarington, Barnett
twp. Those Granted, and against which
there was no contest, are as follows;
c. f. Weaver, Hotel Weaver, Tio-
nesta Borough, Pa.
G. E. Gerow and NJ L. Gerow, Cen
traI House, Tionesta Borough, Pa
G. w. Buhl, Keystone Hotel, Mar
ienville, Pa.
Joseph J. Young, Hotel Marien,
Marienville, Pa.
Regarding the Hotel Forest at Marien-
vile, while there was no remonstrance
filed, The Court took the ground that two
licenses were sufficient for the accommO-
dation of the travelling public, and re-
fused the application of this house.
The same view was taken regarding the
Diagonal House at Byromtown. The
remonstrance against this house was
faulty, but the court was convinced that
a license at that place was necessary, and
so refused the application.
In the case of the application of the
Central House, at Clarington, the Court
took into account the preponderance of
the remonstrants over the petitioners,
and the license was refused on that score.

how.
After closing the meeting Rev. Zahn-

often that two brothers, both ministers,
can visit another brother, also minister,
them ministers, yet to visit. Five broth

the same church. is almost an eXtraordi-

EarIy Autumn StyIes

The FIRST glimpse OF the autumn
styles is very resssuring. We can be
correctly dressed this winter and
stin make use Of the gowns which we
have been wearing FOR a season or two.
Sometimes there is such radical
change I'm the styles that a dress which
was made six months ago is hopelessly
out of fashion. Such was the case last
fall when the 1880" styles We're first
generally introduced but this fall there
is not such marked difference In the
new gowns. The 1880" styles arc still
much in evidence and the ideas which
were used on the garments of 1860 will
be utilized again on the winter gowns.

Most OF the new skirts are cut on the
circular pattern; many OF them with
three cores. a broad front gore and a
